HTC One Mini text problems - confused.com
1st
I received a text from someone in my contacts but it had two senders.in the "from" field. I replied to the sender who had asked the question and immediately got a phone call from the other "sender" saying he'd received a strange text from me. The INCOMING text had two senders - weird. There were no links between the two senders other than they are both in my contacts.
2nd
I forwarded text to one person today and it sent it to 7 recipients. The one I sent it to received it and replied and I've not heard from the others so I assume they didn't get it, however it clearly shows 7 recipients.
On both item one and item two an error screen appeared, saying something like "could not be completed"
The only thing different recently is that I updated the OS a few days ago.
Any ideas?

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
Hello, I had the gs3 for about a week now and had no problems until today. Today my friend had asked me why I haven't text her back and I had told her that I haven't gotten any text message from her. She then had shown me her phone and it had shown that she had text me but it didn't show on my phone so I tried to see if she can receive my texts and she did so I guess the only problem is me not being able to receive text.
Has anyone had this problem before? I cant search the forums because I don't have 10 posts yet.
I am having an issue where a contact of mine is occasionally receiving a different text message from me than the one I send. They will receive half of my intended message, but the last few words will be replaced with a portion of a text that I sent a long time ago. This happens at least once a week. Let me give a quick example to show what I mean:
Example:
Text message I send to contact - "Hello how are you today? What do you think of all the snow in New York?"
Text message my contact receives - "Hello how are you today? What do ycostume for Halloween this year?"
Where "costume for Halloween this year?" will be a portion of a text I sent a month ago.
This happened on my Galaxy S3, and I just recently switched to a OnePlus One so I'm fairly certain its not my device. I called my carrier and they have never heard of this happening before, nor did they see anything wrong with my account. I only experience this with this contact, and they only experience this with me.
Would that mean it's my contact's phone? They have an Xperia Z1 and are using Textra SMS.
Has anyone heard of this happening before? How can I get rid of this problem?
Any solution?
This has happened twice now. The first time I thought it was a fluke, now a second time in two days I am getting concerned. I am using Google Messenger for SMS/MMS. The problem is that somebody sends me a text message and I reply to their message. My reply goes to a completely different person and the original sender never receives my reply. These are not group messages, just a single SMS.
Anybody else having this issue? I will have to switch back to my Nexus 6 if this keeps happening.
Known bug. Use Hangouts for SMS until it's fixed.
I got a text from amazon that my packaged was shipped at it showed coming from my brother. I too am using messenger. I don't like hangouts...
Yep same here, it's broken. I would say use Textra for a similar feel to messenger. Hangouts is broken too, but in a different way. It will send photos sideways if you use the paper clip in a message thread. If you use the share function in gallery it will send it fine.
I have been using Google Messenger since it came out on two other devices and have never experienced this issue until using it on the S6. I have found if I clear the app data for Messenger messages show up from the correct sender temporarily. WTF?
I came here to post something similar. I set up my dad's S6 the other day, and today he told me that if he goes into the Contacts app, selects a contact, and hits the text icon, it picks the wrong contact to send to. I tried this on numerous contacts, and it happens on all of them. If he adds them manually to a message through the Messenger app, this doesn't happen. Bizarre bug. Any ideas?
Happened again yesterday. A coworker sent me a text and it showed up from a completely different person. Guess I have to back to hangouts for now ugh...
Recurring Problem
I highly doubt the problem will be fixed soon. This bug has been blatant in all Samsung products I have had since 2007; however, it happens somewhat seldom and slightly random and the only idea I have for reproduction is:
Receive a message from person A
Read message from person A
Receive message from person B.
Open message from person B while still in the thread with person A's SMS.
reply to person B.
Watch as person A reads your reply to person B and person B never gets anything.
I'm not sure if this always reproduces it, but when I saw this happen AGAIN with my new S6 I was instantly reminded of my past with Samsung products - even prior to Android.
Same Issue--- Almost 2018 Now
I use a fully updated LG RIsio (low grade phone I know), and and the latest version of FB Messenger app for SMS. Several times in the past few months I have constructed a text for a recipient, with the intended recipients name on display as a write, hit send, and suddenly the completed text is sent to a seemingly random contact in my phone, and the deed is done.
This is insane. How do I stop this. I am gripped with the fear of something incriminating going to a family member or a coworker or manager. Why am I not hearing more about this in 2017? Most of the posts on it are from 2010. Did it never get fixed? Did it come back?
Please advise. This is the kind of oversight that can potentially ruin lives and merit a class action lawsuit.
Somehow my wife's phone number is stuck in a group with my sister's phone number, and I cannot get them separated.
Got a new Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus about 2 weeks ago, and restored all my existing data to it (including several years worth of text messages) from my old Galaxy S7.
All was great for about a week, I was sending & receiving text messages from numerous people - including my wife and sister - just fine.
Then, I THINK what happened was that on a text to either my sister or my wife, I added the other one of them to the message as an additional recipient, and I think that's when this issue started.
Now, whenever I receive a text from my wife, the message appears in my phone with my sister's number included in the sender field along with my wife's name as if it is a group message.
What's even MORE strange, when another person sends a text to me and to my wife (but NOT to my sister) - my sister's name appears in my phone as if she is in a group that sent me the message - even though the person who sent me the message doesn't even KNOW my sister!
Here is a step by step scenario:
1) My wife composes a text message on her phone TO ME ONLY (my number is the ONLY one shown on her phone as the intended recipient of the text).
2) She sends it to me, when I receive it on MY phone, the "sender" area at top of message shows TWO people - my wife and my sister. (My sister does NOT receive the message.)
3) If I reply directly to that message, both my wife and my sister get my reply.
4) If I compose a NEW message to my wife only (rather than replying to one she sent me), and send to her, only she receives it (my sister does not receive it), and on my wife's phone it shows as coming from only me.
5) When my wife replies to the message I sent to her only, on my phone it comes back as a group message with my sister
s name included in the group.
I have scoured my phone for text messaging Groups... I can find none set up. I primarily use Handcent NEXT SMS, but have also used the stock Messaging app in the Samsung phone, as well as Verizon Message+... same behavior in all of them!!
On my phone I deleted the entire thread of messages between me & my wife (over 1,200 messages going back couple of years), and also deleted all threads on my phone between me & my sister, deleted both my wife's and my sister's contact records in my phone, and also deleted all the forementioned from my WIFE'S phone, then also deleted my wife and my sister's contact records from the contacts in my Google account (to prevent them from being inadvertently restored to my phone that way), and restarted my phone NUMEROUS times during all this... then we start a new text thread between me & my wife only, and when it hits my phone it STILL shows as coming from a Group containing my wife and my sister.
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!
I hope to be able to remedy this without doing a factory reset on my new S9+ as it's a RPITA to reload everything (all my data primarily), AND I'm not really convinced that will solve the problem anyway (wondering if the "group" they are stuck in together is in Verizon's mothership (cloud database, etc).
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!!!!!
