I have searched everywhere for this answer, but I thought it would be worth a shot asking here.
I have been trying for a month now to get this problem fixed and its on my last nerve. When I send or receive a message from my girlfriend, it pops up as two names instead of one. (refer to the attachment) The contact named "David" pops in front of her name every time. I have tried reinstalling and deleting or even re adding both people's contact. Nothing has worked and would absolutely LOVE some input on this. It happens with a few of my other contacts, but this one is the one I use all the time so you can understand my torment.
I cant go into the thread to send a message, because everything i send goes to both people obviously (very annoying)
I appreciate any help....BTW I use handcent for messaging

Isn't it weird.... i didn't have one problem with this on 2.1. When i wiped everything... including cache... for SkyRaider the first time thats when it started. I have had to wipe many times for SkyRaider ROM updates and every time i do, i still get this problem in some form.
It wouldn't be ROM related would it... or is it a Froyo thing? grr
This pic shows it a little better.

did someone mess with your phone and save your girls number under david lee as well? Also, did you text both of them in the same message? Can you confirm that david lee is not receiving your texts as well?

No one has messed with my phone at all. I just checked again and they are both totally separate. David Lee does not have Chelsea's in his contact numbers and Chelsea does not have Davids.
Yes if i actually send a message through that thread it will go to both of them. With my brother's contact, its worse. When the thread pops up for his it's not just two people, its like 9. The only way to ensure that she only receives my message is to go to her contact and select the "send message" button with her cell number.
Did you originally send both of them the same message?

No, I never send either of them the same message and originally I probably sent a message to Chelsea and that's what it looks like everytime instead of her name by itself.

As you tell from this picture, it doesn't really fix it. I deleted his contact...un synced Facebook....uninstalled and reinstalled handcent to arrive at what I have in that picture. How in the Hell the number still shows up even after the contact is gone is ridiculous...

Hi guys, strange problem is happening with me over last couple of days and as usual Vodafone are no help whatsoever at rectifying it, hopefully someone on here can help.
All of my contacts are working as normal with sms and mms except for one contact. When I try to sms this one contact the phone does not even attempt to send it, it only keeps the typed text in the typing box and leaves the icon flashing as if waiting for more text to be typed! If I add a subject title to the message it will send fine as an mms message to this person and can phone the person all fine...just the sms option not working.
Would appreciate if anyone has any ideas
Try recreate the contact and try not to sync the contact with any web profile you have.

Have tried this mate, even spoke to HTC earlier and the guy was pretty helpful but baffled. Am running tbfusion3d but dont think problem is with that as I've been using it for months. Tried installing handcent app there but same problem, send button just refuses to work with the one contact
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Can they send you a sms and then try to reply. Is the phone number stored(typed out) the same as the rest of your contacts? Try adding the number to an existing contact and see what happens. Deft strange tho. Subscribed
You have an extremely rare case here. Even if you've tried to clear the contact? Hmm, I don't think I can help you further no more. Sorry
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
They can text me fine but replying just draws a blank unless I add a subject title as an mms...really strange
Ps yes if i delete contact and only use number its the same

Ran across one of my friends with this same issue but for about 3 of her contacts. Tried everything short of factory reset.
Installed GoSMS and all good.
Got my one the day after release day from Verizon. I've been noticing a couple little bugs going on with the messaging app and want to see if anyone else is having the issues. Friend of mine has the phone to and he seems to be issue free.
The first issue is when hanging up a call, I often get a " unfortunately messages has stopped". No idea what's causing it but it's happening Pretty frequently.
The second one is hard to explain but I'll do my best. A few times while messaging multiple people individually, it some how puts the full message that I just sent right back into the text field. Almost like I never sent it but I did. Ends up saving the message as a draft so I have to erase it. I haven't figured out the exact steps to make this happen but if I do, I'll post it here.
Anyone else having these weird issues?

Not sure if this will help you, but I had imported my old messages into the new phone during setup using the HTC app (I forget what it's called). Messaging was messed up when I started using the new phone. I deleted all messages and cleared the messaging app cache. All perfect since then.

I love Mighty Text. Since switching to Note 3 Mighty text won't send MMS just SMS. If I try and send a photo through Mighty Text even one it previously sent through S4 it won't send just says "waiting for phone to send message".
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks

There is a lot of chatter about 3rd party app that are not working correctly when sending picture MMS. I have not seen a solution yet. It may be because our phones are so new and the third party apps have not caught up. I have emailed Handcent, my favourite text app and have not heard back yet.
So I don't know if this will solve your problem. It may be a learning experience.
There is an app on Play Store called Tweakker. I will help build your APN by Carrier. At the end you will see the APN it set up and your default. You can compare the two. Select the one you want to use. I stayed with default after trying other options. Again I think this is a third party problem.
Here are some screen shots of Tweakker

I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
Can't get reminders to notify, either in notification bar, LED or alert tone. They show up in Google Now after time expires but don't seem to interface with the device OS. Running pure stock, s-on. Any fix for this?

i would check your setting inside your settings for your notifications and make sure that reminders are set to ON. Don't know if you are, but try doing a reminder in the calendar app. Also, try different ways, like hourly, daily, specific times. See if any of that works.
All settings have been checked thoroughly. The problem is exclusively with Google Now. Others have also reported this problem with the HTC One and other devices. Just haven't seen any fixes or explanations for this issue yet.

Is this feature working normally for anyone? If the problem I've described is uncommon, I may do a factory reset. Thanks!

I'm using Google calendar app. I wonder if that conflicts with the HTC calendar app and stops reminders. Anyone using both and still getting Google Now reminders to fire off correctly?

I use google now reminders probably 15 times a day. Never missed a single one. I also use google calendar for some things, but not necessarily for the same reminder.
Thanks. Keeping fingers crossed that 4.3 fixes this. I'd really like the functionality. May need to factory reset (PITA).

I've had issues from time to time with Google now. It will be streaky. Sometimes I can go about having a full week where it will remind me to leave for an appointment about 1-2 hours too late. Or sports scores are severely delayed. (1-2 days)
This has happened to me on a variety of devices. Nexus or not. And I do nothing to fix it. It just seems to fix itself. I figure it's just a weird glitch/bug in the server side with google.
Ok I change my earlier comment. It happened to me today. I never got a reminder I had set earlier

Basically, if you can't rely on every pre-set reminder to notify you, you can't rely on any reminders.

Yep. I no longer trust it. Doesn't really matter though since it is not working at all. I set reminders for 8 straight 1/2 hour time frames today and was not notified of any. Yes, all my settings are correct. I can see them in google now but nothing shows up otherwise.
OK. Problem is now, apparently, fixed. I uninstalled Google Calendar app and set up the built-in HTC calendar app to sync with my Google calendar. Also made sure notifications were on in settings. Took a while, for some reason, but now both time and location-based reminders are coming through for the first time: alarm, LED flashing and notification bar icon (finger with bow tied on it). Clearly, the problem was conflict between Google calendar (a somewhat better app in my opinion) and the one that comes with the device.

I assure you it had nothing to do with Google calendar app. Mine has not worked at all for a couple of days and I was testing it all day and night. All of a sudden it started working late this afternoon without me changing anything. This was on Googles end.
I think you are exactly right.
