hi everybody,
I have started facing a new kind of a problem with windows ROM 6.1 version. in this version when, if in a contact more than one number is saved and a text message is recieved from any number of that contact, nobody can figureout from which among the two numbers it is from!!! for eXample:
If i receive a message from a contact named DAD having three numbers in that contact namely 1. office number,
2. Airtel mobile number,
3. Vodafone Mobile number
then it is impossible to enquire that from which among the three numbers did actually the message came!
Is there any way of removing the CHATBOX type of view of 6.1 version ROM and restoring it to the initial and original type of view? if anybody knows the way, plz reply.
Thanks

Is there such a thing as Contact or SMS metadata in Android? If so, how do I clear it?
I jumped through some hoops importing some contacts from my old WM phone and some of them didn't import correctly. The problem only appears when I try to send the contact an SMS message - somehow, someway, only in the Messaging app, the contacts mobile number starts with a comma (e.g. ",314-555-1234")
I found an app that will backup SMS messages to an XML file and have cleaned that up. I deleted all messages from the contact. I've even deleted the contact both on the phone and my gmail contacts.
With that done I restore the SMS messages and *BOOM* it shows up again with the leading comma. If you watch fast enough, it will even flash my contacts name before it switches to just displaying the number because there's no contact for it. So the question is - where the heck is it getting that leading comma from and how do I get rid of it?
i need an answer to this also
I have the same problem after I imported data from WM. I can send new SMS but not reply becouse there is a comma before some phone numbers.
I tried export SMS to .xml or .txt - there wasn't any comma before phone numbers. After that I deleted all contacts and SMS in my phone and restarted it. I edited .xml - deleted all names, there were only phones numbers left. After I imported this .xml. To my surprise I could see also Contacts names with SMS number!! How can the SMS program now the names?? Is there any Contact cache?
After I restored the main Contacts the comma is back :-(
(My phone - LG Optimus black, An. 2.2.2)
I found the solution
I have to delete file "mmssms.db" and restart phone.
-run Terminal Emulator on phone (superuser must be installed):
su
rm /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
--restart phone and import SMS -> comma is gone

Thank you! This fixed a problem where [email protected] was being associated to contacts in SMS and making replies fail. I deleted the mmssms.db file on my Samsung Epic Touch and the problem is gone.
Note that the vm.vonage.com problem occurs when you have Vonage set to send you text messages when you receive a voicemail. If one of your gmail/phone contacts leaves you a voicemail at Vonage and you then receive the text message from Vonage with their number prepending @vm.vonage.com, you will no longer be able to reply to text messages from that contact.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This has been one of the bane's of my existence for almost a year now! I had the same problem with all the [email protected] voicemail texts taking over my SMS. Got me in trouble with the wife I don't know how many times, when I thought I had texted her back. :crying:
By the way, don't know if this issue is the reason or not, but Vonage seems to have gone to where all voicemails come from a single number (don't remember what it is but it's one of the 5 digit numbers) and the text starts out with the number the call is from. So this shouldn't be an issue anymore with Vonage voicemails anyway.
Problems texting specific numbers - comma appears in front of number

It looks as though you may have solved the problem, & perhaps your solution could have helped me! However, I eventually solved it another way, so I thought I'd post for the benefit of others who may have the issue.
I had this problem with just one contact for about two years. When I received texts from her, I noticed that they showed up with a comma in front of the number. Hence, the number that I was trying to reply to was not valid. I had to manually type her # in every time. I edited the contact dozens of times from both my phone & Outlook, and even tried deleting & recreating it. I got a new phone today, and this one shows me more details than the old one. I was able to see that I had her mobile # set up twice. One number had a plus in front of it. As soon as I deleted the # with the extra plus, my problem went away. I think the issue was that I had her set up as a contact in multiple locations: Outlook & one of my two Gmail accounts. When it tried to merge the two, it kept them as two different numbers because the number formats were different...only it didn't show me that that's what it was doing! I'm guessing I didn't delete all of the occurrences of that contact when I deleted (probably just one, or one at a time), so when I recreated it & it tried to match them up again, the issue came back. Hope this helps!

I just got the Triumph, rooted it, Installed CWM, and loaded the latest MIUI.
I can send regular (english) SMS messages with no problem. When I try sending Chinese, the receiver doesn't get the Pinyin characters. The receiver gets a line of garbage (question marks, commas, etc). The same happens in reverse. When someone sens me a message in Chinese, I just get garbage instead of Pinyin.
I read somewhere there is a fix for this... a hack, if you will. I can't remember exactly, but it has something to do with the stock message app forcing 7-bit characters? Any ideas on how to fix this?
A friend of mine has this exact problem.
The only difference is that he uses CM7 and tries to send messages in Cyrillic (the alphabet, that is used in Russian and some other Slavonic languages)
Hi
I'm having a problem with android 4.0.4. I'm portuguese and when I send text messages with special characters like ã or ^^ or ç, the other phones receive this with strange characters.
I discovered this happens because of the sms codification used by my phone. Is there anyway to change this?
It only happens with this smartphone..
Thanks.
