This has happened to me twice already in 1 month.
1. SMS sent by my wife showed up in thread of another person in the messaging client. However, when I click the SMS bubble to go into the SMS, it shows on the top bar that it's sent by my wife.
2. I received an SMS from Mr X, so went into the conversation thread of Mr X to reply him. The SMS however, was sent to Mr Y! When I checked, the SMS sent was reflected in the thread of Mr X, but when I click on the SMS bubble to go in, it shows that it's sent to Mr Y. What is worse is when I exit the thread, it shows that it is Mr X's conversation thread, but when I go in, it becomes Mr Y's, with all conversations between X and Y in that thread! BTW, X and Y have 2 very different mobile nos.
Now I am very scared to send SMS, not knowing if it will get sent to somebody else! Anyone encountered this? Any remedy?
i had something weird like this and put it down to me being silly clicking the wrong thing.
I also notice that when i send a sms to "hannah" sometimes the name "helen" is shown at the notification bar which of course ****s me up considering some of the conversations i have!
can't quite put my finger on whats going on to give a full explanation but i noticed something odd too...
Sounds scary.
Do you guys get any feedback from the phone that the message was sent successfully? I don't, and find that troubling.
in the conversation window as soon as i click send the sms content turns into a "sending...." then once sent displays the sms content again. on a unsuccessful sms the phone notifies you and the sms colour turns grey.
maybe try dropping your signal somehow, flight mode or something and try sending a sms and see if it notifies you on a unsuccessful sms.

Would be nice if there is an audio feedback, but your suggestion is good.

you could play around with the delivery reports in the SMS options menu, i believe they are carrier related though?
my phone does vibrate when i recieve a failed sent sms message though, maybe this could be customised with a notification ringtone. i currently have it on silent since i get like 30 twitters an hour.
On my phone, if a message is sent successfully, the date and timestamp will appear on the lower right of the sms bubble. If it's not successful, the bubble is grey and both the sms notification ringtone will play and notification appear in the notification bar

That's what I thought too when I had that option on, but it does not notify me.
Upgrade to JG3, it was a problem in JG1.
Strange, I don't hear the ringtone or the notification.

it's just a software glitch, i've had this problem with some 3rd party SMS software in my windows phone, so reverted to the stock SMS software, however in SGS it seems ok so far.
there is a 3rd party SMS apps for SGS "ChompSMS" check it out, it might solve the problem the few of you are experiencing
No problems here, 250~ SMS already sent this month.
Argh! It happened again this morning. Using handcent now. a pity as I find the stock messaging app to be quite good

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but I hope it is not a single problem. The issue is that sometimes when i receive a SMS, the notification shows up on the top bar. I pull that menu down, and sure enough there is a preview for the message, but sometimes if I click on the message, or go into the messaging app, that message doesnt show up in the conversation. This gets very frustrating b/c if I go back to the notifications menu up top, the new message is removed and the SMS seems to be lost forever.
I've had this issue with Handcent, ChompSMS, and also the native "Messaging" app too. Anyone else encounter this? If so, were you able to fix?
I have the HTC Dream from Rogers, rooted.

There was a issue awhile back with early hero builds dropping sms all together but I know yours is a different issue. But I have a similar problem with gtalk sometimes. Whenever someone would log off and log back on and send me a message I will see it in notification bar but not in gtalk. Thought I would throw my 2 cents in.
I wasn't even able to get SMS for some reason, I had an unlocked G1 using AT&T and SMS just didn't seem to work. I didn't know the G1 supported SMS. I'm upset now.
Best of luck for you getting your problem resolved. I would recommend upgrading but if your in the newest update release, I don't know much to say.
Today I dialled my voicemail to check for messages as it seemed odd to me that I had none in the 3 weeks i've had the phone?!
I found 11 messages sitting there waiting to be listened to, some of which were very important!!!
Where is the voicemail notificaiton?? Is this just my phone??

Go into Sound & display in manilla. Click on Notification sounds & then select Voicemail on (this is disabled by default). Then go into All Settings > Sounds & notifications > Notifications in Winmo & select a sound for Voicemail. Hope this helps.
Yeah that is on and only gives a one off sound but what about an icon on the task bar??? If I dont here the sound then I have no idea that I have a voicemail!! lol
I get a missed call icon on mine & also have set up with Vodafone to receive a text message. I am using Brians Taskbar. Are you using the stock taskbar?
Missed call icon doesnt tell you there is a voicemail though does it?
I'm using Brians too but only as of today, so I get nothing on that or on the stock taskbar.
Just checked and I too had voicemails waiting, where is the symbol on the taskbar?!

Yeah exactly!! Yet another bloody 'bug' for us poor HD2 users lol
Not quite the same as a taskbar icon... but in all settings > sounds and notification, there's a "display message on screen" option for voicemail
I don't know if the notification system for orange and vodefone is the same as o2, but when i call my o2 voicemail there is a setting for notification types. ONe to send you text, one to call you back and the last one is to send a voicemail notification to the phone.
The last option is what enables the voicemail icon in the taskbar.
I can get the notification with the LED but it keeps blinking after listening to the voicemail (when the message has been leaved with the HD2 turned off only). That's really annoying.

It's better than nothing if it stays on the screen until you close it or listen to the message?!

No idea, haven't tried it but I assume it stays on until you dismiss it.
Same problem here with the standard taskbar.Taskbar Icon is missing. Im getting stupid texts such as >@ or [email protected] I wondered what they meant untill I check my voicemail and found 2 messages.
LED Notification
Mate this is a feature!
How did you get it to work without realising?

Sorry i haven't understood.
does anyone have a solution to this?
ive been using my HD2 for about a week now and never realized this either (Im on Rogers network in Canada)
I just did a test by leaving a voicemail:
I get a missed call notification
a SMS about the voicemail
but NO VOICEMAIL icon! (usually looksl like the little tape)
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've been into the "Sounds and notifications" menu and checked "Phone: Voicemail" and checked off "Display message on screen"
but still no icon on the taskbar?
Anyone know?
I've not found anything yet mate
At least you get a SMS notification!
I've just read through these and I'm thinking you are after the same thing I am. But just to be sure, I'm going to reword what you are looking for. Because what I am looking for (since I also get the missed call, and the voicemail text) is the option to simply tap the voicemail icon and have it dial into my voicemail automatically like I used to be able to do with my htc tytnII. For now I have to go to my phone screen and press and hold one, which I find a pain as some times I don't have time to check my messages right that moment, but I hate turning off the phone with the missed call and voicemail text still there, so I get rid of those, and then forget to check voicemail later. Are you guys talking about the same thing? And has anyone yet found a solution if so?

No that is not it!
We do not get a Voicemail icon so do not know that we have a voicemail!!
How or what should I use so that the phone notifies me that i have a new message without showing part of it in the notification bar??
if i disabled "Received Notification" it won't let me know when i get new sms ...
Use Handcent SMS, there is an option for 'privacy mode'.
doesnt work whether i check the "Privacy" in notification settings or not it keeps showing the message concent in notification!
You have to turn off the notifications from the default message application.
dude i of course i know that ..i did that already, only handset giving me notification now...and it shows the msg content whether privacy is on or off :S

Do you know there are two 'privacy mode' options, one for the notification and one for the popup. I just tested it and it works as you wanted.
actually im disabling the whole popup thing. and i set the notification's privacy ON.
nothing
Ah yes, I've just noticed what you mean. It doesn't show it when it alerts you of the text but when opening the notification screen it shows it. That's not very useful is it? You could email the developer?
I just emailed him. thanks alot anyway.

hey guys searched but did not find the answer....
I just got the Tmobile g2 and im new to android OS, had a TP2 before. How can I set the MMS message of a contact to stay on longer? When I view a picture message it just stays on for a couple seconds then goes right back to the text message. Is there any setting that I can make this longer?
Also is there a setting somewhere that can make it so that when I click the contact's picture, it will dial that contact automatically? I had this feature in my TP2 and would love to set it up like that.
Thanks in advance all
I would recommend downloading chompsms. I just did this for the first time last week and it blows away the standard android sms app.

SMS notification bug
Hello, I wonder if some one here have same problem: Some times my HTC Desire Z with latest ROM doesn't want to notify me that sms is received, and I should randomly go in to Messages folder and find out there that there are some unread messages. It is not a Settings problem, because it is happening randomly. Let's assume every 10 or 15 message will be missed. Also, If i see that there are unread messages, i can read them from Messages folder, not from notification bar. And if I do so, notification in notification bar will not disappear, until i clear it manually... really strange. Thanks for solutions.

The length of each slide is decided when composing the MMS. If the sender sets it to 7 seconds (5 is default) then it will only be on for 7s. Save the attachment and you can view it for longer.

Factory restore after update helped to solve this problem
Desire Z
I have the same issue and it wasnt this way on the vibrant or the original MyTouch 3G. When someone sends an MMS, say a picture message, it shows up as a short 10 second video. I have tried saving as an attachment but didnt seem to allow me to do that.
Hi all,
i have a question about notifications :
How long notifications such as a received text messages disappear from the notification bar?
I often have to go to the Friends of the widget to see the new sms icon in green, after 1 or 2 hours that i cant use phone and notifications disappear.
Tnx to all
Notifications normally don't disappear until you're explicitly read them or cleared them. Text notifications should still be there even if you restart your phone.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
thanks for the reply, but I still have this problem with the notifications in the bar, as if there was a deadline in time, perhaps some setting?
maybe because i installed the ota 1.72?
I also find the notifications on this phone to be haphazard. I'm sure the light notifications clear after a short time. I've missed several important messages as a result.
I will monitor this more carefully since I am not 100% certain that this behaviour is actually happening -- but I think it is.
Just got this phone last week and same here. Notifications are fine for everything except SMS. I sometimes dont get:
a) A Notification of a new SMS.
b) the messages icon on my home screen, doesnt show a new text count, with a green circle and number.
When I go into messages, there is a new sms or sms's.
Im running 1.75.110.2
and kernel 2.6.32.21
Its a pain.
Concerning the no SMS notification, it's a known bug since the 1.72 update. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887098 .
I've concluded that SMS is a disaster on Android in all respects.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
OK. I have been monitoring this for the last few days. I can now confirm that the notification light goes on when I receive a text (SMS) message but it does not stay on. So, if I don't notice the light at the time, I am unaware that there is a text message waiting for me.
I presume that this behaviour effects everyone running the 1.72 update.
