Nokia Lumia :: 800 - Text Messages Showing Wrong Recipient
Apr 19, 2012
I have a Lumia 800 and have discovered a bug where the recipient name is wrong if contacts have very similar phone numbers. Example:
I have two contacts with the following phone numbers
Contact 1. - 0703 246 802
Contact 2. - 0705 246 802
Note that the only thing differing the contacts is 0703 from 0705.
Regardless of whom of these two I send a text message they always show as being sent to Contact 1. This includes any History as well, they are all grouped into Contact 1 regardless of to which phone number I send the text message to. This is very annoying and it makes it impossible to see who actually had the message sent to when looking back at the history. I have tried moving the numbers around to different contact categories, changing contact name and so on, but it has made no difference to the behavior.
My wife has a Droid X which has recently started acting up in the last few weeks. Using the stock Text Messaging app, when she responds to a text message, the receipent name and number is not the person who sent it, but someone else (usually someone she texted with recently). Sending it, it goes to the wrong person. Turning off/on the phone only helps for a short time, as it happens rather quickly again. I have done a Factory Reset on the phone twice and still it happens. I have even gone as far as installing Handcent and she still has the issue, but many times it will show the correct receipent name, but goes to someone else.
Messaging App(By Default app) showing an error while sending a message after salecting contact from my contact book. Error is " Message has no valid recipient".
I'm just wondering how many text messages my 9780 can hold with one single recipient. I've been scrolling up for some time now and can't seem to find an end. Ahahah, just wondering.
Has anyond had issues, or know how to address a current problem I am having with the recipient of MMS. I go to compose an MMS, address it to the correct person, send it--but it send to a completely different person. Although both phones received the message, it only confirmed the inadvertant address in my sent list. This has happen at least 4 times, only with MMS and all to the same "wrong" person.
I am unable to hear the voice of the recipient/ caller in case of incoming/outgoing calls. I am able to hear the songs, default tones etc in the phone, only problem is during call time.
the date and time are set though my text meassages for the last 5 days all come up under 14 June 2043 which is getting a little frustrating. I have tried deleting all the messages in tht hope that from then on messages recieved would show the right date but no joy.
I received a text from a contact and it was another contact who had sent the text! Now when my wife texts me, it comes through showing its from my son....after viewing message details, the number is my wifes, although if i reply it goes to my son! I'm using chomp and up to now have had very few problems with it. Is it my phone or the app?
I was texting with someone earlier today, I sent a text at 4:31 pm and they immediately responded but their text message was time stamped at 11:32 am.For some reason all of the texts I receive are time stamped as 5 hours earlier.The people I'm texting with are located in my same timezone, and the timezone is correct in the settings of my phone. It's set to automatic but I switched to manual and checked to see that the correct timezone was selected.
My experia x10 has been delivering text messages to the phonebook of my phone - the only way I have know this (I havent even received a notification tone) is if I access the persons details and then click on message within the phonebook section. All other contacts are arriving in the normal way via the inbox, although I did have this blip a few months ago but seems to be happening again.
I just got a Motorola Defy (the Scandinavian version, with Android 2.2.2), and I'm very happy with it so far. However, there is a strange little bug in it: Every time I type ":-)" in a text message, it will be replaced with a "sad face" icon (). And every time I type a capital letter "B", it is replaced with a "sunglasses" icon () in the message.
I'm planning to buy lumia 920 but I was wondering if I could transfer text message, photos, and contacts easily? I'm not sure if lumia has Nokia Sync since it uses another software.
I got my Lumia 920 and sent a few texts but found that if you type past 2 messages in one session and try to send, it comes back as saying it can't send. I tried resending but it won't go.
To send, I had to copy the message, delete the message, paste it in the field then resend. That works.
An update for the SMS+Messaging app came a few days ago but hasn't fixed the problem cause I tried sending a 3 message text and it did the same thing. Had to again copy the message, delete then send quickly.
I used to have a Nokia N8 and used Nokia suite to backup (and when needed restore!) SMS Text message on my phone to my PC. How do you do that with the Lumia 920. I don't mind backing up to the cloud if I can't backup to my PC but I just can't seem to find a backup option.
After only a couple of days with my torch and not having modified it all, all of a sudden when I click on the TEXT message icon, it just shows my regular inbox.It used to show only SMS messages and was really cool. Now it shows emails and all!
I dont see anywhere to change this back to the original behavior. I did a hard reset with no luck.So far I love my phone even with the minor annoyances like it hangs for a few seconds after unlocking it everytime, fine I can live with that. But I really want to fix this text message thing
I cannot find a way to save My text messages from My lumia 800, syncing the phone with zune doesn't seem to do it. My old n97 mini would sync them with nokia suite.
In my message threads, for any messages I have sent it gives the time of the text message in the bottom right of the message. However for any that I have received it only gives the date.
Not the end of the world I know but can be handy to have the time.Is this something that is possible or do I just have to live with it?
After two or three charges my new (up to date) Lumia 900 stops sending/receiving text messages. The map app also appears black at every zoom level. However LTE signal is fine, I can receive phone calls, and use data to search for near-by restaraunts and overlay results over the black tileless map.There is no visible indication that the phone is no longer sending/receiving txt messages.. other than an angry girlfriend.Once in a while I open up the map app to see if its loading tiles. If not, I reboot the phone and everything returns to normal for a few days, and then problem comes back. It has been this way since I bought the phone three weeks ago.
I have a N97. I am new to Ovi maps 3.0.3. My question is how come when i open the map, the position is wrong. I live in chicago, but the map is showing up Washington, Dc. area.
I've been using my Nokia C5-00 for about a year now without any problems. Recently however, it started to show wrong time (like it was going too fast). The offset is usually about 15-30 minutes forward. Initially I thought that its just few seconds per minute faster than it should be (like a normal mechanism watch) and I tried to explain it with processor clock being somehow off, but I noticed that it must at one point just skip these several minutes.
I've never spotted this "skipping" explicitly but it happens once per 10-15 hours, I guess. E.g. it shows proper time the whole day and when I go to sleep but next morning its off several minutes. It happens both with automatic time update On and Off. I haven't updated my software for a couple of months now, but the one I got is up to date (according to Ovi).
I have nokia 5800 it have a problem the time cannot be set it just say ** system error**. Now I can't even install whatsapp on it. I think its because of the time settings. I did reset the phone still no change....
Somewhere along the line I have pressed some wrong buttons and now when I go into my Email folder, my text messages open instead. I've tried to 'Show All' but it still shows the texts instead of the emails.
Prior to this week all my text msgs were showing the name of the person texting me, now the names are gone and only the numbers show up, even on the old msgs, what happened to my phone, is this some sort of an update or did i press something my mistake, how do i fix this.
