Would like an answer from the general questions crowd - as stated above.
I'm getting this bug with the Contacts app on the note 10s with MIUI 12.5.15 Global (which I assume is stock Google version).
To reproduce easily:
*choose a contact with no photo;
*edit to add a photo;
*view same photo it will error put with "contact doesn't exist message"
Curious if this happens elsewhere and if so what was your solution? Any solution?
I've Asked in the note 10s forums but no replies to that thread yet, so I'm trying it here in the general questios crowd.
My temp solution is to use a 3rd party contacts app, but I'm curious why this happens with the stock android version on my phone.

I've just upgraded from a Hero to a Desire, I'm loving the Desire but have one very very annoying issue.
Whenever I receive an automated text, for instance from T-Mobile or Ocado the phone is assigning the sender as being someone from my contact list... has anyone else experienced this?
I've seen this issue on my N1. It affects not only automated messages as you said, but also those from other people.
i.e. Person A messages me, message placed in Person B's thread, Reply to message, Sent to Person B, or even Person C!!
The issue seems to be with the messaging app on 2.1, and I know that google is aware that it's faulty. Another thing to watch out for is the random deletion of all messages from your inbox. It doesn't happen to everyone, but if you are having the other bug, you might want to watch out, as they do seem to be related. btw, this is unrelated to the automatic clearing of inbox option in the messages setting.

Sorry I can't provide any useful help, but I just thought I'd let you know you aren't alone. It's affecting N1 and Droid owners too.
Thanks for the response, I suspected it wasn't device specific and you've just comfirmed that, so that's helpful to know!
Cheers
i have the same problem, just from another angel. if i select an contact and then press send sms, 60% of the times, it selects a totally diffrent contact as reciever.
also when i get a sms about a missed call, the sender is a randome contact from ny contactlist.
is there any threads about solving this bug?
The only other thread I can find on this site vaguely related is this one, although it's mostly about the sms random deleting.

There is an issue posted with Google, as I mentioned above
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5669
I think people are (for the moment anyway) lumping these problems all under the same broad umbrella of faulty messaging.
If either/both of you can upload your bug report onto that thread, it will help google to work out what the problem actually is. Instructions for doing that are on the google thread.
OK so some progress on this, I spotted this thread here:
"http_://androidforums.com/htc-desire/61560-sms-incorrect-contacts-issue.html"
I'm not sure if it's isolated to the Desire, but HTC are aware... it's linked to Facebook sync of contacts.
Im not sure if this has been asked and answered... My search of the nexus s forum didnt turn up much...
In google voice (where i've been receiving all of my voice and text messages) the same contact has multiple threads. It seems like each days text messages go into a new thread by default or something. Bottom line, to look at a previous day's messages i have to back out of the current days message thead and scroll down (through other contact's duplicated threads) and open the same contacts messages from a previous day.
In the default android messaging app all texts to a single contact are grouped together. google voice on the other hand makes going back through texts a pain. is there any way to make google voice text groupings behave like the stock android app?
sorry to reply to my own question.... >100 views, anyone have any ideas? is anyone with sprint even experiencing the same issue?
Yes, I am experiencing the same issue on my Nexus S on Sprint.

That's how they are grouped at voice.google.com too so I don't believe it's an app or a Sprint issue.
EDIT: Seems like it was designed that way, the reasons for which aren't clear:

I noticed the same thing. It gets kind of annoying but I just archive the old ones in case I need to go back for something. Would be nice to have one per person but perhaps it's to limit size?
Any resolution to this? I have gvoice on my HTC vision and it still seems to be creating multiple threads for the same contact (not 100% of the time, but often)
Received this one this week and have rooted, flashed new rom (which was identical to stock anyway) but there are a few minor annoyances I was wondering if anyone else has any clues to remedy.
First off is the weather DB for TW weather. It is from Korea so has very limited information for other countries. Seems to be no way to add to the DB in UI.
Then there is the SMS app. Each time a new text is received it just says 'New Message' you have received a new message. No details about sender or a preview of the message at all.

Don't know the answer to your first question but the second one, probably yes.
If you mean message details showing up on edge screen? Try this:
Go to Settings > Application Settings > Message > Notification > Edge Screen. Here tick that option. Now if you get texts it will show preview of messages.
Thats great thanks, now get message preview and a popup. Strange that is disabled by default.
Ok noticed some other problems now.
One is S Planner, it likes to crash when I am trying to alter any time. Also is there any calender app that lets you duplicates events likethe web one? Pretty annoying missing functionality.
Another weird thing is the edge notification bar. It nearly always says no nitrifications even when an SMS or e-mail is in notification bar!
Weird that Korean has no S Health app as well, or voice recorder,
S health and voice recorder needs to be downloaded from the Samsung app store.
My notifications works fine and also the s planner.
Thanks for that tip. I had searched the galaxy store with no luck but it seems you have to drill down to the essentials list to find it. I downloaded S Health and it crashes before launching. There must be some disabled service (Greenify?) or configuration that is causing issues with some Samsung apps.

I have not had any such issues with S Health or S Planner apps.
A few days ago I noticed that the notifications weren't showing up but resetting the phone it returned to normal.
I posted this in the reddit android section and they removed it because it "didn't benefit the community". That's bs because its a real problem that I know there's general confusion over. I rephrased and reposted on reddit, but in case they don't want to be helpful I decided to post the same question here.
This question is to help the whole android community. I've heard this question from others, so I decided to ask it for anyone whom may need it answered.
I tried to message someone with Google's new app Allo, but people don't seem to be getting my messages. Do both sides need Allo, or does it work as a alternative to the regular sms app.
Also when I use the regular sms Messenger app, people respond and it comes through the Hangouts app. I tried to change the sms settings within the Hangouts app but it doesn't seem to be helping.
When I use Google Now, I don't know what app it uses or if there is a way to choose which app Google Now will use.
There's general confusion on this and it would be awesome if someone who's versed in this can spell it out for us. How can we unify our apps? Can we use Allo as our default sms messenger app?
Don't remove this post. I posted a legitimate question that will benefit anyone who's not sure exactly what the differences are between Allo, Hangouts, and Messenger.
I replaced the stock texting app with Google Messages (of course) and many of my contacts are complaining that most of my messages are coming in 2-3 (and sometimes) 4x
Is this something anyone else has experienced or knows a solution to?

MIUI contact top right
merge duplicate contacts and/or possibly: more/rebuild index
that didn't seem to help but thanks for responding/suggestion
