So I' on Cyanmobile X and the inbuilt Messaging app doesnt allow sending an SMS to multiple numbers at the same time.
So I tried Hancent SMS and Go SMS.
Now the problem is that all these apps are showing the same name/number multiple times when I try to send a message.
Hancent SMS shows a name 3 times and GO SMS shows it 2 times.
I dont know why this happens ? ;/
and its really annoying
Any way to get rid of this?
My phonebook doesnt have any problem,its showing only 1 copy of the contact
SOLUTION
Solved the prob myself
I used Contacts Aggregator by Skullab Software
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skullab.ContactsAggregator&feature=search_result
The App itself is really easy to use.
As soon as you delete all the Duplicates,you'll get a warning from your Google Sync saying that too many contacts were removed and what to do now.Just click the "Delete them all" option and wait for the sync to complete.
Well thats it
[Note: Dont worry about your SIM contacts,this app wont touch SIM contacts ]:good:

Hi all...
I was wondering if people more experienced could help me with a strange problem.
I can't seem to send or receive sms'es. When I send an sms, nothing happens, and the message just sits there in the "Outbox".
When I send an sms to myself (from another phone), the phone WAKES UP, but no message shows up. So obviously the phone is receiving the message but it's not showing up? Maybe it's being blocked somewhere?
I've checked my settings, sms is set to send via GSM and the service center number is correct.
Also to confirm - I've tried hard-reset and the phone received sms'es fine.
But as soon as I reload my backup, it no longer receives/shows the sms'es being received. So something is block the sms from showing up. What program/setting would it be?
After installing slick, palringo, taptapsms, incoming sms not stored
I noticed the day after installing IM client, named slick, palringo and opening tapsms, i cant see my incoming sms after it comes..
it shows the notification 1 message unread, after i open it, i just see the history of sms of the same sender got bold, but only with old message, theres no new sms.. ( cant find the new received sms )
I've reset the phone, unplug the battery, its still the same..
anyone have a clue ?
I used WM 6.1 on my XDA IIs
Thanks.
i recently went into the contacts list on my xda orbit 2
only to find it was only showing just 2 contacts which were listed on my sim card,
i cannot see any of my outlook contacts at all ?
if i wish to phone anyone who was on my contacts list,
i have to find MMS from this person and dial from there,
contact is showing correctly as sender of sms as per listing in contacts
except i cannot view the list showing 'ALL' contacts
any help appreciated folks
-thanks
Dont you have a filter in the contacts view?
hi,
my orbits filter settings are set to exactly the same as my mrs's orbit2
her contacts list is a-o-k
sms text messages recieved prior to this problem ALL show senders name as it was listed in contacts & also the number as was provided when i created the contact
ALA - orbit seems to be using the original contacts list to provide sender details for text messages recieved prior to error happening,
yet.....
will NOT allow me to access the contacts details etc,
anyone got any input / ideas etc, as im well n truely stuck without these contacts
same troubles
I have also found that on regular occasions that my Orbit 2 looses all the ring tones and name tags tied to contacts.. I can reset them all and within a few weeks they go back to default... Gets most annoying when you try to set tones to know who is calling..
AFAIK that's a Registry Error.
It's a common thing in MS Windows (including Windows Mobile) to have registry errors.
Only 2 things to solve this kind of problem:
Restore from the latest backup
Hard Reset
I seem to have a weird problem with the Messages app from HTC. Searched all over the internet and XDA and nobody else seems to have reported the issue.
The issue is, if I go into the Messages app, the list shows all contacts names fine. But for some contacts, if I click into them, it shows the message history, but on top where it's supposed to show the name, instead shows their phone number, minus any separators, and a ">" symbol at the end.
Say, for example, a contact in the Messages app is John Doe. I see John Doe in the messages list, then when I click into it, instead of name it goes to, say, 15555555555>, and sometimes the whole thing is just black.
On the bottom where I write reply, the number shows up fine exactly as it's formatted in the actual contact info.
But if I try to reply there, when I click "Send", the keyboard disappears, but the message never gets sent, and this happens no matter how many times I try to reply or type the message again. As long as it's a reply, it doesn't work. But starting a new message to the same contact works just fine, but it's annoying to have to type the whole message, then copy and paste, and start a new message to the contact just to reply.
And it wouldn't be inconsistent formats either. Some numbers I have in both Google and Phone, I can delete all phone numbers except the Google one in the problem contact and issue persists. Some contacts have the number laid out the same way in (xxx) xxx-xxxx as the problem contact, and still works. I can change the problem contacts' phone number format to xxxxxxxxxx or 1xxxxxxxxxx and neither fixes anything.
I've tried pulling the battery, turning off fast boot and pulling battery, restarting, all the same result.
And this ONLY happens with the stock Messages app, all the other SMS apps I downloaded off the Market works just fine.
Any help would be appreciated, it's starting to drive me nuts.
Thanks!
I have noticed something odd about the stock messaging as well. In the text box where you type, some contacts display a phone number in the top of the box, while some do not. I don't know what causes it. I thought it was the way that HTC Sense sync'd to FB, but that didn't change anything.

I think it may have something to do with the Select Contact Name option when you edit a contact. Say I have a two phone numbers and an email address for Bob. Once I set "Bob" as the contact name for his entry, that it what appears when I start composing messages to him.
I hope this helps.

I can confirm the issue, so at least you're not the only one. But in my case it went away on its own sometime between temp rooting and unsuccessful over clocking
I posted this a week or so, I don't know if it helped the last person. but I had this EXACT problem and it was unbelievably frustrating when I first got this and after a few days of searching and banging my head against the wall, I found something that worked. This problem arised when I had double contacts from my messaging and I tried to rectify it. Eventually I got it all to work fine.
This is how you solve it (or how I solved mine).
1: Sync everything to Google. Edit the contact list in google (use the automatic duplicate deletion), delete useless contacts etc.
2. Remove contacts from EVERYWHERE. Sim card, phone, uncheck google sync. Your phone should then be completely empty for contacts.
3. Re-sync with google contacts. if you want you can copy it back to the SIM and you shouldn't get doubles. I think I just left it with google only but the end result is I don't have 9 different "danny's" show up when I go to compose new message because I know three of them.
This issue is bugging me too...
After experimenting today I have figured out why it is happening; any contact I have with an email address within the contact details I get the name followed by the mobile number within the HTC stock message app... Any contacts without an email address are fine.
I have experimented by removing an email address from the contact and straight away the said contact will display correctly in the HTC message app.
Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to have contacts with phone numbers and email addresses display correctly. Real shame as loving my new Sensation... a minor niggle I guess
Tgis has happened to my phone once, but rectified itself with a soft-reset. It hasn't happened again since then. Not much help here, but its definitely not an isolated incident.

Yes, This happened with me too.... But after i synchronised my accounts with my HTC and google contacts.... it was all sorted out...i was just thinking of hard reset.... but i was saved Try it once...
Guys, a strange Hangouts problem - When I add new contacts, if I receive a Hangouts message from them, in the Hangouts list of messages it only shows their mobile number - not their contact name. The strange thing is that in Notifications and when I go into that contacts message it actually shows their name.
So, in short - I have a contact stored with their name and number. If I receive a Hangout message from that person it DOESN'T show their name in the Hangout list of messages. BUT it does show their name once I open that message. It also shows their name in Notifications!
Strange!!!

I have this issue sometimes. Sometimes clearing the cache for Hangouts or removing the thread works.
Thanks for the suggestion. Alas that didn't work for me! Strange!
I really like the N5 but there are so many little niggles with it... annoying little niggles... that can lead a man to jump ship back to fruit, which is good for you!

Sign out and sign back in seems to be the best solution so far.
A full uninstall of hangouts then reinstall will work every time.

Thanks. I've tried signing out and back in again. That didn't work. Will try uninstalling and reinstalling it. I'm presuming I will lose my existing messages, right?!?!?
Happens to me when I add a number to my contact list, I myself have tried clearing cache and reinstalling etc, still the same.
Hi,
I cant see the contacts in SMS app. They disappear, and app only shows number. When you get into a SMS thread then it suddenly updates the Contact name. I dunno why is that. Do you know how to solve this ?
