[Q] Two Generic Android Questions - Advice Please!! - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

What can I do with THESE Android-specific issues?
1. Mass Texts. If I send three of my friends a text, it goes into a thread with all three of their names on it and a group icon as the contact. Bizarre! On other phones (my old Touch Pro) it updated each person's message threads with the individual text. What is the deal with Android?
2. Pushing the Phone button, I got "Keypad, Logs, Favourites, and Contacts". First I might say that "Favourites" is interesting because no where else on my phone does it use British English. I wish it did, but oh well. Anyway, Logs displays everything my phone has done, and half the time the people's pictures disappear from it. You CAN filter the logs, but only by "Missed Calls, Dialled Calls, Received Calls, Sent Messages, Recieved Messages." I want to sort them by All Calls, and no messages.
Now, under Contacts, I have a "History" tab, where I can view my logs for Calls, Messages, Emails, IMs, Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter." That will display what I want. Why is that tab not identical to the one under the Phone button? How do I remedy this problem?
Thank you for your help anyone who reads this and have a Happy New Year!!

Code/app to identify new incoming email, vibrate phone

As you may know, the Wizard seems to have a bug (for me and some others at least) where it does not vibrate on new incoming email. It works fine for calls and text messages, and it is NOT a configuration problem.
Can anyone recommend an app (or code I could use to build an app) to detect a new incoming email and vibrate the phone myself?
For incoming email (even incoming call or sms) see

There are many samples there I won't paste redundant information here again.
Thanks radhoo. From my brief initial view it looks like they've got some interesting and complicated stuff!
Anyone else got a suggestion?

Failed MMS "erased" all prior threaded texts in conversation

Forgive me if this has been discussed before; I searched but didn't find anything. I'm using an HTC Fuze, no major changes like a different ROM or anything. After I tried to send an MMS (two pictures in one message) to a contact, it failed to send for whatever reason. The problem that after attempting to send that message, I looked in the conversation thread for that contact, and all of our prior texts (a few thousand) had been seemingly eradicated, except for the failed MMS that I had just tried to send. Looking in my Sent box, all of my texts to that contact are still there, but neither my sent texts nor my received texts from that contact appear in the conversation in my Inbox.
However, if I turn off threaded SMS via Advanced Config, all texts from that contact appear in my Inbox. When I turn threaded SMS back on, they're gone again. I know they're on the phone, but I can't get them to come back to the threaded conversation! I've deleted the failed MMS that caused all of this, but that hasn't seemed to make a difference. Does anyone have a fix for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Call and Text Message Log to Calendar

I want to log all my calls and text messages, both incoming and outgoing, to my calendar for sync with Outlook.
I know of Call Calendar and Phone Log, but the former only logs calls, not text messages. Phone Log only logs incoming text messages, not outgoing texts, and logs calls without specifying who initiated the call.
Anyone know of a solution to logging all calls, with call initiation specification, and logging all texts, both incoming and outgoing?
Anyone care to develop an app for this? I would gladly pay.
Thanks.
i like this idea but it difficulty work for new app .
Moved as not software release.
Apologies
Sorry about posting in the wrong forum and thanks for moving it to the correct one!

Is this what you are looking for?
Sorry - read your post again - properly this time, And it appesrs you have tried this

What the hell is wrong with Android's Call Logs :P

You can't view all your received, missed, and dialed calls? You can only view, all your logs including texts, or ONLY one of the above three, in addition to sent messages or received messages.
I don't need this feature at all, but, it seems really poorly done.

Old message notifications

I have a problem with my messaging app. I get text messages from my contacts, which I can reply to with no problems, but randomly, I'll get a notification for 99+ new messages. If I swipe down on the notifications, most of them are old messages, some new, and the majority are notifications from Amazon regarding something being shipped, from UPS, FedEx, Google Authentication, mostly messages that aren't from a phone number. For example, the notifications from Amazon are from +262966. Amazon, in particular has (55) next to the notification, which means I have 55 unread messages, but when I select any of them, it brings me to the messaging app, but none of them show up in the messaging app. I've selected the drop down menu next to the notification and selected "Mark as Read," but after an hour or so, they all come back. When I got the S8+, I selected to backup all my messages to the AT&T Messages Backup & Sync, so I could restore all my messages to my new S8+. After restoring them, I kept the AT&T Messages Backup & Sync enabled just in case something were to happen to my phone, and I was receiving all these new texts. Then I disabled it, but I still receive all these new texts. I'm wondering if there's a way to access these messages and delete them forever since I don't need them anymore. It's very frustrating to get 99+ notifications, but I can't view these messages anywhere and have no idea where they're coming from. Anyone have any suggestions?
It's probably from Samsung backup when you logged in
