[Q] Problem with my Messages

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.

Open the messaging app, then click menu, scroll down, and make sure notifications is checked; if not, configure the options.
It will not work with the stock messaging app. Atleast it didn't for me. I used the wimax notifier located in the themes and apps section. Was told it didn't work because it is a port from the sense 2.0. Hence the "z".

Well we just unveiled the secret of that stock messaging app won't activate the led with warm z, so you need to use a 3rd party app, such as handcent for texting.

Wierd messaging fc

First off...URRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH.
Now, to the problem. Everytime I opened the messaging app and tried to create a new message, its fc. I then wiped data in cwm and titanium restored all of my apps. No system data. It still fc'd. I was on eh06...so I updated to urban vendetta and it was ok for a little while. Now its happening again. Any ideas how I can fix this?

I would still rather the stock work...I've used handcent and GOsms and there's just to many settings. But I installed handcent and it works. Then everytime I got a message the stock messaging app force closed...so I deleted it out of /system/app and everythings good. I'm not sure if pic mail works, though. I tried sending myself one and never got it.

Right now, the only workaround is to use GoSMS.
Sent while hanging with that really hoopy frood Ford Prefect.
I was able to delete telephony.db in the folder /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/database to get my MMS working. Since then, my MMS has been running flawlessly.
What's wrong with it. Mine worked out of the box without any tinkering from me.
I deleted telephony.db then rebooted. MMS works in both directions.
I don't even know if it worked before I deleted that file.

For some people MMS's sometimes just won't go through, and keep showing that they're sending.
Handcent and GO SMS worked for me.
I deleted the telephony.db but it doesn't do anything even after reboot.. Is it maybe because I'm on 3g?

My MMS was working fine for about 24 hrs. after installing CM9A2, then just stopped sending. I deleted the telephony.db file, cleared the data for the Messaging app, and rebooted. After that, I could send and receive MMS over both 3G and wireless. Try clearing the data for Messaging, reboot, and try again.
Thanks everyone for the help

Is the telephony.db file supposed to remain deleted after a reboot? I've tried the whole process four times and it keeps coming back and mms still doesn't work.

I can confirm this works also on other phones - my Desire Z had also this issue.
What I also had to do was to clean cache from sms application and now it works! Thanks!

[Q] Unfortunately, contacts has stopped working

Hi,
I have a rooted s4 running 4.2.2. I have not frozen any thing or uninstalled since rooting. I have it for the purpose of titanium backup, greenify, and root explorer.. And to increase my knowledge of smartphone technology.
There is a problem ever since I change my number through T-Mobile the other day. I go into batch select mode for multiple email or SMS and every time I do it on my contacts screen or my message screen it freezes and brings me to my home screen with the error message "unfortunately, contacts has stopped working".
I have researched this topic and have pulled my battery out for 40minutes and turned back on. Cleared cache on messages and tried to find a work around. (Originally my problem was discovered from messages going into batch select contacts mode. So I tried to batch select contact for SMS and email through contacts option itself.. Same problem). It doesn't sound like messages is the problem..
Has anyone had this problem and if so can you share.
Thank you,

Try this:
Go into settings>more and click on "Application Manager" then scroll to the "All" tab
and find contacts and click on it and clear data & cache.
Then click the back button and you will see contact storage, clear data & cache on it too.
Once your done reboot the phone and see if it still errors out for you.
Good luck!
Still no dice..
I believe it is a problem with contacts not messaging

There are some good ones to choose from. You just need to try them out.

Hey, I am in the same exact situation as you. I really don't want to flash any roms or anything like that.

Any progress regarding this matter would be much appreciated.

If your running Apex launcher also try going back to touch Wiz launcher and see if that clears the issue.
