[Q] How Tbolts text the wrong person all the time? - Thunderbolt General

After I received the MR2 update my Tbolt texts the wrong person about 1 out of every 12 times. Not like the old problem where it pics the wrong thread, like every HTC phone I have ever had. You clearly see you have the correct thread and when you hit send it looks like it flips a page on the screen and sends it to who ever the phone feels like. This is embarrassing and quite unacceptable. I am stock and I have tried deleting all the texts and I hard reset once and it still does it. What gives?

Lol. I know what u mean..it has happen to me a few times and has almost got me in a lil bit of trouble if you know what I mean..it is very annoying..I'm rooted so instead of using the HTC messaging app I deleted it and installed the vanilla android (aosp) messaging on my phone..runs better with less lag, doesn't put mms as a slideshow, and best of all no wrong text sent. I have yet to figure out a solution to the problem tho unless you wanna use handcent or a another app similar.

Like above, I'd recommend a replacement app. I personally use GO sms and I havn't had it send a wrong message unless I didn't see to the person whom I was typing to.(which happened once lol) Maybe that is the best method other than rooting

I had the same problem and I couldn't control who the messages would go to, I'm using handcent and haven't had a single issue since. I go back to stock and it happens again. I don't think it's just the Thunderbolt as I've seen threads on forums for other phones that have had the same issue.

This is a bug, it was fixed in GB.

I disagree. Perhaps the particular bug you linked in that message has been fixed with GB, but I have seen text message bugs using Sense 3.0.
The most common occurrence for me is to try to open a text thread, and it opens a thread from someone ~5 threads down. I have also opened a thread, sworn it was the correct person, and then upon closing the keyboard noticed I have a different thread open. This can cause some serious issues, and I can't believe it isn't talked about more.
I have had this happen using froyo and GB Sense Roms when using the stock app and GoSMS pro.

Count me in no more sexting as it will get you in trouble lol. No seriously I've had this happen on.every Rom. I'll text persona and it shows sent but personb will receive. Just started happening since Mr2 official ota. The only time it dies not happen is with handcent or go sms. How do I install asop sms on sense Rom on rooted tb?

First download the aosp mms.apk and place it on you memory card..I used root explorer...open it up and scroll to "system". Select it then select "app" you will then see all your system applications. Scroll down till u see "mms.apk" ...at the top right of your phone u will see a selection dat says "mount' selct it..then long press "mms.apk" and select delete. After doing this then reboot your phone. When it is back up go back to root explorer and scroll to "sdcard" and selct it..find where u saved the aosp mms.apk then copy it ..now back out and return to the "system", click mount on the top right of your phone and paste the aosp mms.apk into the system..then u need to set permissions. Long press on the new mms.apk you installed then select permissions..the first row of boxes should be checked already and on the second row just the first box..select ok..click mount on the top right of your phone again then reboot your phone and there u have it

Hmmm, I wonder if this is an issue with Sense ROMs or the radio. I'm running CM7 so I dunno how it would affect me, but so far, I haven't had an issue.
This does remind me of the problem I had with my Droid 2 before I went to the Thunderbolt. It wouldn't send texts to the wrong person, but the damn messaging app would delete the wrong thread every time. I go to delete a thread with a long-tap, and it would delete a thread a few spaces down instead. It was freakin annoying as hell.

it's annoying. I have to remember to delete all threads to insure it doesn't text the wrong person. Texting the wrong person happens more than twice a week.

Weird, I've never had this happen.

I've had this happen on the original software the TB came with but since using mr2 or cm7 I've yet to have it happen.

I had it happen already a bunch of times, perhaps once every 2 or 3 weeks. Extremely annoying but thankfully hasn't caused any serious issues (yet). Still its happened enoighbto make me actually feel cautious about texting. I just recently switched to handset for this very reason to see if it continues.

It's not the phone that's doing it. The problem may actually be with Android or with sense. It happens on other models of phones as well.

Slow messaging app

Hey, ive noticed that the default messaging app is pretty slow to load or send messages. I even tried handcent and got the same issue. It's like a 2-3 second lag when opening the app or selecting a specific message. Does anyone else have the same issue? Wasn't this bad on my nexus :/
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I use handcent and its almost instant when I send or load messages. I don't like the stock message app so I never really tried with that one.
Do you have a specific setting to make it faster??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I use Go sms. It is free and pretty fast. The delay could also be happening if you have a lot of messages though. That would slow down any sms app.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
The HTC messaging app had been criticized for having this slow issue before, so nothing new. Just use handcent or similar.
Handcent is instantaneous with send/receive, plus pop up text, can't go wrong.

I've had this issue. Actually i've had issues where the entire device gets so slow i have to reboot. This hasn't happened since i changed kernels. I use smartkeyboard pro too, so i reduced the length of time of the haptic feedback and that helped too.
That's why I use go sms.

problems with messaging

I have this weird problem, whenever i text with friends, if i respond back within a minute and the time is the same, then my message will go above my friends message. But if i message back like 1 minute later then it goes below. So i only have the problem if i manage to message back within a minute and before the clock change.
Anyone else have the problem? I allready updated my phone to newest.
And after i did update my phone (did it through the post in the forum here) it wiped my phone complete, so i guess making another reset wont work maybe.
Yeah that's weird, doesn't happen to me at all, no matter when I reply

My friend told me he had the error too on his HTC Hero when he used that.
So i guess it's either a Android or Sense problem. But i'm not sure what to do to fix it, if it's even possible lol.
I also read that sometimes the SGS1 would do that too, but there was no fix that I saw for it. It had something to do with the way the phone time-stamped the messages...
It is "inconvenient" but is it really a big deal? they are just messages after all...
Well no it's not that big a deal, since i have had it for some time now. But it can be annoying sometimes.
Got this problem on my wildfire. Not a big problem.

Neither of those threads have anything to do with the OP, bowers131.
Both of those threads have to do with the weird occurrences of SMS messages being randomly sent to other people, nothing to do with the placement (chronologically) of the posts which are in fact going to the correct person.
I also have it and had it with multiple phones also on wm phone:-o

Text Message Issue

So I've noticed that ever since this OTA update from almost 2 months ago happened, my phone has been acting weird with the standard messaging app. When I go to text someone (I know for a fact I'm entering a message to the right person), it automatically sends that message to someone else. Now this hasn't gotten me into huge trouble yet, if you know what I mean lol but its quite annoying! Any advice?

[Q] Frequent force closes...lost cause? Help Please!

My girlfriend got her Galaxy S 4G around January and everything was going really great for her. The problems seemed to arise when I updated her phone from Froyo to Gingerbread through Kies. Since then, she constantly sees random force closes, typically while using Navigation, Browser, Contacts, SMS, etc. There is no popup saying "Bla bla has randomly closed...." etc, it just shuts back down to the main screen. Sometimes this will repeat numerous times (trying repeatedly to go to the contacts). I rooted her phone and flashed ICBINB, wiped cache, dalvik, permissions, etc. etc. but the problems have not changed in the least. Has anyone seen or experienced anything like this? It seems like no matter what I do, the phone is just doomed. Only thing I haven't tried (and am seriously considering) is reflashing back to stock Froyo; I don't think she'll mind, as long as she can use her phone peacefully. Thank you for any and all help.

Just an update: new from is great and she loves it. Still experiencing force closes, however. Seems the biggest culprit is opening the phone app and clicking on either the contacts or call log tabs. Those love to shut down (with no message) all the time.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
It's actually not force closing...i had that problem before and it would happen randomly. It got to the point where i was trying to quickly select a contact or start a message before it would return to the home screen. I never found out what was causing it though. Try a new kernel. I think it happened less or went away. I haven't had the problem in awhile and i think that was the only difference. I'm on erikmm's miui now and haven't had that problem.
Sent from my toaster.
Or try something like GoContacts EX from the market. It is a dialer and contacts. Theme it. Customize it. I find it a lot better than stock.
Maybe reboot to recovery and fix permissions. Only use a third party app once you get the stock working. That's like putting a bandaide on a cut that needs sutures.

If you don't use stock stock dialer or contacts - it is not a bandaide. It's a replacement.

He stated the forces closes is when opening dialer and contacts. He has been pretty good at giving info on what he is using. So it's safe to assume it's the stock dialer/contacts app.
I don't disagree that using a third party app can/is nice. But if there is a problem with the stock it needs fixed first. Eventually it will create bigger issues if not fixed. Plus the Rom he is on there shouldn't be any problems.

I appreciate all of your help and suggestions regarding the matter so far. As it stands I haven't had a spare second to flash a new kernel on her phone, but she hasn't seemed to have any problems (knock on wood) since that day; I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt her, though. I'll try fixing permission for the heck of it, but I did that when she was running ICBINB to no avail.
I'll post an update as soon as I flash a different kernel, but despite all the drama she loves it more than ever!

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.
