Dear all,
I am having some big trouble with go sms pro private box. I have the paid version. I added from my contacts all the contacts that I want to be private. It happened that when some of those contacts text me the message and notification are correctly private, while for others they are received in the normal folder (and have a standard notification). I double checked and the contact name and number were correctly displayed on the list of private contacts but the text appears in the normal received text message list. Only one slight difference: the number saved in the contact list is always different from the number on the received text underneath the name, and the difference is related to the international american area code. I was not able to figure out exactly which is the problem but basically sometimes I receive messages with the right name but the number (lets say 999-999-9999) shows up as any of these three
999-999-9999
1999-999-9999
+1999-999-9999
So basically if I save my number as 999-999-9999 sometimes I dont get it on the private box and it shows up with the rite name and with 1999-999-9999 or +1999-999-9999. Very wierd. And things got more complicated: I did a trial with my roomie: if I save his number as 999-999-9999 his texts do not go into the private box, and they show up with his name and 1-999-999-9999 underneath it. If I save instead my roommate number in my contacts as +1999-999-9999, in that case his text shows correctly up in the private box but with NO NAME on it!! So I cant do this since I have no clue who is texting me and I have to search everytime who that text refers to. I am driving crazy. Nobody had experience with this?
Thanks

Hi,
Ive searched the forum for an answer but couldnt find one so therefore i turn to you all for my question.
I recently got my MDA Vario IV and am really happy with it. There is only 1 problem. Whenever I recieve a text from someone it shows the phonenumber of that person and not the name. This makes it hard for me to see who send me a text as all i see is mobile phone numbers and not contact names.
So what i see is:
+31612345678
blablabla
And not:
Cilenia
blablabla
Ive tried a couple of things to fix this but none of them seem to work.
- I've deleted one of my contacts i text often with from both SIMcard and phone and readded his phonenumber. Didn't work...
- I've clicked on the number in the SMS and resaved it in my phonebook from there and then got another text from that person and still only the phonenumber... (when i click on the number in the sms it keeps saying its an unknown number and if i want to add it to the phonebook, even if i just added it 2 seconds ago.)
- I then deleted the contact and saved it again via the text i recieved... when i got a new text from that person, there is still only the phonenumber!
How do i fix this??? Its annoying the crap out of me

for some reason i got this problem only with one contact so far.. a new msg wont show the contacts name, changed the +49 country code because the recieved sms didnt have the CC ... but my started conversation does show the name ... just recieving msgs wont show it .. strange thingy
I haven't been able to find anyone else having this issue so I must have messed something up.
My problem is with the default text messaging app on android. I have the fascinate with the latest update. I have rooted my phone and debinged/lagfixed. I'd rather not do another factory reset but I can if I have to. The issue if I go to compose a new text message and choose the contact(lets say the name is Jane) Jane shows up in the drop down list as I type the name I select the name and type out a message and send it. Now when I go back to the lists of conversations only the phone# for that contact is listed and not the name. This is pretty annoying since so far it is only happening with a couple of the people I talk to the most and not others. Any ideas?
In my Droid X text app, if I receive a text from someone that was texting to more than one at a time, I get the name or number of the texter, and, all the numbers he was sending to also. If I answer his text, it will send a copy to every number he was texting. Then I get texts and calls asking me who I am and what I'm talking about. The new VTexting program from verizon has a checkbox to Not reply to all, but it does anyway. I can't find anyone with this same complaint on the forums or the net. Also, if I write a text with 2 or more receipents, a message is displayed that says "Allow Reply All" ,with a very small green circle with the letter i in it. What the heck?
Its hard to explain but everytime I receive a text message thru GV from the same contact, the program makes multiple entries....even though its the same contact (ex. carolina). So my question is how do i make the text keeping going to the same contact without making 2 diff entries for the contact?
GV will automatically start a new "thread" after a certain amount of time. No idea how long that is.
I see...kinda of strange.
When I'm texting someone, i sometimes get their phone number at the top of the text field and by their name in their text bubble. It's not with every contact either. I thought maybe it was because they have multiple numbers attached to the contact but even ones that have just one number so it. i dont want it to show it at all. any ideas?
it shows up if you have an email address for them too. if all you have for that contact is a mobile number you may want to go into your contacts & see if they were linked to anything else
