As far as on the phone, I don't think you can. If you want to see where your texts have been doing/sent to whom, call up sprint, and request a sopena [can't spell the word for my life], but its a log of your texts, and they'll mail it to you.

It may have been from like a backup app.
As far as I know, I don't know a way to double back to see where it was actually sent to.
You can install handcent, open the app, click menu, then try delivery report; it shows the message, and if you tap it, it'll show you the time and to the person/number.

[Q] Messaging app doesn't display more than 500 messages in the single conversation

I received from one person more than 500 text messages but only the number "500" is shown. I'm still getting more messages. But the number doesn't grow.
Messages are there. Just the total number of messages is not shown.
Is that a limitation of Messaging App?

in your messaging settings, you can adjust the max number of text messages

If I got anywhere near 500 message from someone I would block them.

sounds like you are a forever alone

This explains why my GoSMS backup/restore (when I switched phones) doesn't show all the messages I have with my gf.
I made the change in settings, but does anyone know what will happen if I restore the old messages again?
Will all the new ones I've gotten disappear?

No, they are added on. I've done this countless times before, mostly because I flash too many roms.

5000+ messages issue

Hey everyone ..
2 days ago i hit 5000 messages with a person on my HOX, im using the default sms app ..
2 days ago i wasn't rooted and when the problem came to my attention i decided to root my phone and try out something else ..
So i backed up my messages and rooted, installed ARHD 7.1 and restored everything ..
i can open every other conversation beside the one with 5000 messages..
when i try to open the messages it just says " loading "
Now this is not an issue for me, i just deleted the messages and started over.. but it's a bug, and it is there .. so if anyone would care to look into it.. now you know!
have a nice day!
EDIT:
Btw, the messages works fine with another sms app
EDIT2:
Solved by deleting the messages or limiting the " pr conversation " to anything under 5000 messages ..

It's probably cause it takes a lot of time for the phone to load all the text messages. Normally on free or alternative sms apps you have to scroll up 10 messages or so and then click load more messages. And what the he'll, 5000 messages?

Had it running for 20 minutes .. and it's never been an issue before .. once it hit 5000 exactly it wont load anymore ..
5000 recieved and sent .. so about 2500 sent ..

I had this issue with a desire i was fixing for someone, its just because of the huge amount of messages, so I downloaded Handcent SMS ( i think ) and that was able to see the huge message thread, from there i deleted about 2000 of the oldest messages and then it was fine?

i went into settings for the Standard Message app to set a limit of messages..
i could set the limit between 1-5000 .. Maybe HTC limited it to 5000 .. im not sure ..

5000 messages dammm I delete all before bed. I'll never come across that bug.

I'd say if you delete them it might solve your problem.

Deleteing em did solve my problem ! ..
i just think its wierd that above 5000 messages it wont load ..
Not that i need it to .. but it shouldn't be a problem to have more than 5000 in one conversation..

I remember my Sensation XE when I upgraded to ICS via OTA update. I couldn't open my messages for a long time and the message "Loading..." was just there. But I believe after a day it was fine and my messages loaded again.

Not denying anythig

Such problems happens on my phone as well, my total message count is 12xxx and the max number of msg in a single thread is around 8000, same problem as yours, seems like no way to fix but to build cumulative backups using apps.

Hmm shouldn't this be discussed in a stalkers forum? 5000 msgs in one thread?

"Hidden Sender Address" notification will not go away

I keep getting a notification from all the different SMS apps I have tried that is called "Hidden Sender Address". When you click on it, it takes you to the app but not to a message. Chomp SMS indicates it is an MMS message. I cant find any unread message in the stock app or any aftermarket ones.
Regardless, I cant find it to delete and it wont stop showing up in the notification bar. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this?

OP, have you been able to fix this issue? I just received the update to Jellybean and am currently suffering from the same issue. I have tried deleting all messages and clearing the app cache but haven't been able to get rid of this notification.

I'm actually receiving the same false notification and it started today for no reason other than opening an mms. On galaxy s3 CM10 preview

Nope...havent found an official fix. If I use Chomp, it doesnt appear. GO and Handcent and it shows back up anytime I receive a new message.

If you're using a 3rd party messenging app, disable the auto-retrive MMS. Go to Stock messenger and enable auto-retrieve MMS.
I use Chomp and this fixed the problem for me. Hope it helps.

Yes this is how I got around it but I couldnt find the options in Go or Handcent to disable MMS retrieval. So I am stuck with Chomp which is not the best of the three IMO.

Just started getting this today as well on GO SMS. Easiest fix- Option key, More, Mark All Read. Cleared them out for me and the notifications thay wouldn't go away are gone.

In handcent you can go to "receiving message settings" and disable auto retrieve. My sister uses handcent and hasn't received any MMS problems since.

Hey guys. I had this pop up last night after receiving 2 MMS in a row. Setting the auto retrieve off did not fix it but "mark all read" did. Just to let you all know.
I am on Motorola Atrix CM10 4.1.1 using Handcent

I believe there is a feature to mark certain contacts/conversions as secret. That I'd what that notification is. Look in your settings for something that refers to that. Those messages don't go to inbox but separate folder. Think you might have to password them to access.

I think what you are talking about is the private inbox. Those still come up and go away just like normal text messages except they bounce to the private box. That is not what we are talking about here though

Just wanted to say thanks for this. I have a Galaxy S III and started getting this as soon as I got 4.1 on my phone, drove me nuts. Just googled hidden sender address and found this thread.

Hidden Sender Address notification !!!FIX!!!
I was having this problem the other day after installing a jellybean messaging app. It worked fine for a day or so then I started getting "Hidden Sender Address" all the time and then wasn't even able to delete my texts. I would delete the entire conversation and it would still show that there was a conversation there, but it was all empty.
I contacted at&t to see if they had any ideas and the only thing they could come up with was factory reset. Screw that I knew there had to be another way. I'll never trust them completely!
I contacted the creator of the app and this is what he had me do and it did work:
If you have root you can clear the DB by deleting this file (apparently):
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Of course that will delete all your SMS and MMSs, but you can
(hopefully) back them up to gmail and restore them afterwards using
SMS Backup+.

If anyone has any ideas on how to do this file deletion without root (on a Galaxy Nexus 4.2), I'd be very grateful! Thank you.

Why cant he just update the app to fix this issue?

Any news on this fix by the developer?

FIX!!!!
OK Everyone. I have resolved this issue on my Galaxy SIII and your are more than welcome to replicate this but beware, you may lose your SMS history.
First you can either delete all SMS. I didn't want to do this for obvious reasons.
Second, scroll all the way to the bottom of all your SMS. If like me you have oodles of them this might be annoying and take a while. At the bottom I found a sender called 'ANONYMOUS'!!!! Sounds ominous doesn't it.
I deleted this thread and since then I have nto had this message appear. ALTHOUGH.... i lost all my SMS as a result.... LOL whoops. bug time!
Please note. I also disabled auto download MMS, cleared badgeholder cache (which temporarily works), readded SMS icon and disabled google hangout from picking up SMS and neither of these permanently resolved the issue but feel free to try these first as you probably should do as they are non destructive.

Stock Rom - SMS / Text messages going slow?

So I just got my HTC M8. Loving it, but noticed how text messages take a while to go through. Also, I tried that on stock messages app and also on google hangouts. It takes a bit of time for messages to go through compared to my iPhone 5S. Also, I restored all my text messages to the phone from my iPhone (complicated process) and the Messages app takes forever to load. Is this happening with anyone of you as well? Any work around?

have same issue on my m8 messages wont go through at all. did factory reset and it did not help. I had to go back to the m7 to get my texting back

my biggest gripe is how long it takes hangouts to load. not necessarily an issue with the m8 though. in regards to how slow it is for messages to go through the stock messaging app, it's just as fast as my note 3 and my gf's Z1. both take a few seconds to send messages.

what i found to work is changing the settings to sending all messages as high priority...not sure why it changes, but i haven't had an issue since i changed that setting. before that it would sit there for up to 30 seconds and then i'd get a message saying it didn't send...was having issues receiving texts as well.

same issue on my M8 messages won't go through at all.
