Hello! I've got strange problem, something gone wrong in SMS app and I can't send messages to one of contacts. It says that recipient is invalid. That recipient is ABC for example. It looks ABC <123456789> in SMS app instead of just ABC like other mesaging threads. When i open message thread and manually select ABC from contacts, SMS is sent, but when I exit to threads view, recipient is replaced to ABC <123456789> again, so when I try to write message again, error appears again too.
I tried to remove conversation, delete contact and add it again, but no success. Even if contact is fully removed from SIM, Google and Phone, and SMS / Contacts apps data were cleared, when I try to send message using only contact number, it appears in messages still as ABC <12345678>, in other 3rd party apps like chompSMS the contact shows as unknown/number only (correct), when I call this number, it shows as number only too, so what the hell with stock sms app (with all data cleared)? I tried to format cache partition, nothing changed. When I add the same number to contacts and name it for example XYZ, and then select option to send sms directly from contacts menu, SMS app is opening with recipient field filled as... ABC <123456789>.
Only factory reset helped, but the problem may occur again, and what then?
Another symptom is that inside SMS app the contact (even if added to contacts) shows as face with question mark (like unknown / not added contact) but without that small triangle in the bottom-right corner (when I touch, nothing appears, normally the menu with contact options like "Add to contacts" should appear).
Phone is Android 4.1.2, no root, stock AOSP ROM.

Hi,
I have a little annoying problem. One of the contacts in the favourite list has the default action set to "Send Message" (I'm talking about the little icon just below the photo and name).
The problem is that all (but one) of my favourites have the default action set to Call Contact (the little earpiece icon) except this one.
I want to have every action set to "Call Contact" but I can't find any option where to change it.
It's the only phone number I have for this contact and it is filed under Mobile.
Can anyone help me with this?
scroll down to the contact, then press right or left
I think he is talking about the favourite contacts and not the contacts app. only way i know to do that is to delete the contact and then add them again and you will be able to choose between send message and call
Does anyone knows any new sms messanges viewing style? i would like to be like a chat and not a single message per view.
When using Sense,
Press all messages, or press the message you'd like to see.
If no converstaion mode is sown, press menu, settings, conversation mode....
Should be standard behaviour.
You can also go to the contact card of the person you want to chat with and click on the SMS tab.
Anyone got any ideas how you can delete the contacts that rack up in your 'recent contacts' list in text messages.
Thank youuuu.
Manually go in and delete each one. I believe by long pressing the screen. I don't totally understand your question so if im wrong please correct me or re-state
I mean when you send a text message the contact you have sent it to will appear in the "recent contacts" drop box, I've tried long holding but nothing seems to happen?
It took me a while to figure this out also but here it is.
The recent list you see under the messaging app is compiled from your history in the contacts app.
So open up contacts. Click over to the history tab. Hit menu and selected Delete. From here check off all the items which involve the number you're trying to remove from Recent and delete them. If you deleted all of the entries, you can click back over to the messaging app and when you go to recent the offending number should be gone. If not go back to the Contacts History tab and be sure you didn't miss an entry.
It's annoying and tedious but it solves your problem. Good Luck.
Hello,
i have got a very simple question to a strange problem.
Question: what it the default application a "missed call" will be opened with (opened up from the notification event)?
Background: in my case the default Contacts App (don't know how it is called directly) is started if ONE call is missed.
If i missed TWO calls, i get the choice of an application to use "Go Dialer; Contacts" where i can define Go Dialer as desired.
I did delete already the Setting / Application / manage Application / All / default startup entry for "Contacts" , "Dialer" and "Go Contacts".
but still one single missed call will open up in the default tool, multiple missed calls will cause the questions with application should be used.
Any help to figure out the source of this issue would be apreciated.
cheers

Exact same problem I'm facing, though I'm on stock Gingerbread ROM on my SGS2.
I want to set exDialer as default for viewing those missed calls, but for a single missed call - it always defaults to in-built Call Log app, but for multiple missed call it asked me for which app to use (and I set Use as default for exDialer).
In short as stated, works for multiple missed calls, but not for single missed call.
Can't find anything about it on Googling other than this old unanswered thread.
same here
Exactly the same problem here ! please some one help !
After updating to lollipop with a factory reset I having lots of issues starting with truecaller as I turned off the caller ID for my phone contacts but the floating caller ID still treats my phone contacts as its an unknown number for example if my wife calls me the contact appears as my wife and the caller ID floats and the contact name is my wife, for whatsapp the notfications doesn't always come on time ad I open it and I find that there are multiple notfications and it didn't appear on the status bar although notfications are enabled as for Facebook when there is a notfication when I press on it Facebook doesn't open so I have to open it my self, tried clearing cash and data and reinstall but nothing helped, any idea what can be done here.
