Does anyone else have this problem where you get a text, but it displays the wrong contact name in the notification bar? but after opening up and going into the ongoing message it puts in the right conversation?
This happens a good bit on my phone.. Very weird!
I have this happen but it shows the person's phone number in the notification bar not the wrong person. When I open it then it shows the person's name in the conversation.
I may be wrong but I believe that is an android bug that is being worked on. I thought i saw it on their bug tracking site

I heard about the text bug that actually sends a text to the wrong contact.. That's the one that's making headlines.. I haven't had that one happen yet, hopefully won't...
Maybe this is part of that though..
I've had this same problem with someone else's name in the notifications bar. You have to be quick to catch it but yeah it is pretty weird
I've had this happen too.. rather annoying =/

I have a problem hopefully someone can help me. When I am typing in my resposes using the xt9, sometimes the space where I see the words that I choose being typed in goes away and I cant see what I am writing, I have to click on the space again where my response goes to see how my response looks like. Is that happening to anyone else? maybe its a glitch that someone fixed already?
You are notthe only one to have this problem and according to HTC they had no idea this was a problem. it is mostly due to the number of messages in your in box. The only thing to really do is empty your box regularly and you will not notice it as much. call them and let them know
Hey guys,
As the title says, I'm brand new to the Captivate.
When I'm having conversations over text message, is there any way to make the incoming texts appear on my screen in the order in which I receive them? Right now all of my typed messages appear at the bottom of my screen, and if I receive a text I have to scroll all the way to the top to view it.
For example:
Friend: Test
Me: Response
Friend: Test
Me: Response
If messages were typed in this order, it currently appears like this on my phone:
Friend: Test
Friend: Test
Me: Response
Me: Response
Is there any way to change that? I love everything about this phone, but it's getting obnoxious having to scroll up 10 or 15 texts every time I receive a new one from somebody. Thanks in advance.
Honestly, the simplest fix is to use handcent or another third party messaging app.
Edit...I see you are brand new to the captivate.....you heard of the inspire? Might want to give it a thought.
Hmmm... It's certainly not supposed to be like that. My phone always showed the messages in the order I received them, so something is wrong and I couldn't find anything in the settings to change it. You might want to try Handcent from the market, there's a free version and it is EXTREMELY customizable. I mean, it's down right ridiculous how much you can customize every aspect of your SMS and MMS using it. Maybe that'll be a simple fix for your messages not appearing in order. If you decide to go with Handcent, make sure you turn notifications off in the stock messaging app or else you'll get two separate notifications each time you get a text, which gets annoying pretty quickly.
EDIT: I guess I type too slow, newter beat me to the punch
I get the a very similar (or even same) thing running Cog or stock. What I have noticed....this only occurs if your reply has the same time stamp as the received message i.e. if you receive a message at 9:46pm and reply to it within the same minute (in relation to your phone's time), also 9:46pm, your message will show out of order.
Hmm....now that I look over my messages...I have a MILD theory...
Messages are organized in chronological order, but the time stamps do not include seconds, only down to the minute. Afterwards, the system has to organize by something....so it goes to Name. My first guess would be if the message is sent from someone with name that comes before "Me" alphabetically, their message (send at the same minute) would appear first, and vice versa if their name is after "Me." Errr.....maybe it is by phone number, not name.......errrr....damn, that doesn't hold up 100% either now that I have looked even harder.....jeez.....only 1 message might jump up?
eh, I've just learned to live with it. Can't be too picky. Every phone has its little quirks. Just depends on which ones you want to deal with
I had the smell issue with either stock or handcent messaging apps. The problem to me was the time in my region being sent by the cell towers was off by about 70 seconds. When I would travel to another region of the country, I didn't have a problem.
I solved it with a program from the market called ClockSync (though I'm sure there are others) which sets the correct time on my phone.

Ok, so I get a new text message.
I turn on the phone, notice in the lockscreen someone texted, and see an excerpt of the text. I say, ok, lets slide that messaging icon into the ring and read that message. Well, that message is not there. No message at all from that person. If its someone ive been talking to, it usually shows what i said last only, and their reply is no where to be found, although i just saw it in the lockscreen or the top bar.
I have also tried the handcent sms app to see if it could help me. same thing occurs there too.
ANY idea what could be causing this? It seems to be doing it all the time now. My only way around it is to use google voice only. ugh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What's the limit you have set for deleting texts after a certain period? Might have something to do with that.

yeah, ive been using it, but its still a hassle. My txts were coming through just fine the day i got it, then it got wierd afer 48hrs of use.
Thanks for the help, Ill keep looking as well for an answer.
I am a very similar issue, at first I thought I was missing text messages as well.
I got a few keywords from my friend who sent the missing text and when I did a search, the text was there, but they had the wrong time stamp.
For instance missing text was sent at 17:44, when I search I found the text stamped and threaded in as if it was received at 12:40.
The wrong time is variable, I have found other texts that was stamped received the previous day.
Unfortunately I don't have a solution, and quite frankly am getting really frustrated with this problem.

I hope I can explain this well enough for someone to understand, so here it goes.
When using the S2, I could swipe up to dismiss a text message and then I would look on my V20 and the message would show as being read.
Now.....when using the S3 the message on the phone still shows as unread. I can even reply to a text from the watch, but the phone still shows unread.
Basically I want both the watch and the phone to mirror one another.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have notice the same thing I hope someone can explain why this is happening and come up with a solution
I'm not using the stock messenger, I'm using Textra. But I'm guessing they work the same.
I believe it's the difference between dismissing the notification (and/or replying from within the notification), and going in and reading and/or replying down in the actual message. Almost like layers. But it confused me at first, because the notification can "preview" the message with... the message! (Toggle "Always show details" in the notification settings)
Try tapping "Read more" before replying. Weird thing is, seems like you still have to go back and swipe away the notification after replying...
Okay so this is really weird and I don't know how to describe it but I will try my best
I really enjoy Oreo but there is a strange problem with the notifications that I have, so I thought maybe I'm not the only one
It goes like this: for example whatsapp, but it happens in all apps as far as I have noticed
if a person X sends me a message, I get a normal heads up notification
but when another person Y sends me a message, a heads up notification will pop up, but it will show the contents of the person X
if another person Z sends me a message, I will still get a heads up notification from the first person X
Does anyone else here have the same problem? Could someone help me solve it because it's really annoying and I miss important notifications constantly...
Thanks
EDIT: Already tried wiping the phone... didn't help unfortunately
Also notification dots don't seem to work for me, like mentioned in the other thread
Anyone?

That's a whatsapp bug probably caused by a poor code refactoring/update to the new oreo notificaiton fw. Stop reflashing your phone and wait for a whatsapp update. (which previously had so many bugs with the notifications).
**And notification dots are not implemented yet. It's also missing from the xperia home beta. More features will hopefully come in following sony updates... Stressing on the hopefully part lol...
This happens with WhatsApp and Signal, that I noticed. It doesn't really annoy me tho, to be honest. I could just slide the notification panel down and read the old notifications

Then it's not only WhatsApp that has the bug.
Guess we have to wait for all the apps to be updated...bummer
EDIT: I think this has something to do with Sony, because my friend that uses a OP3 doesn't have this problem.
