Hi,
First if am in wrong forum thread do tell me.
I am using HTC Wildfire on CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1-buzz
All was ok however I had synced last night with my gmail account and suddenly the "ME" has changed.
As in when I go to SMS and send anyone a message. the message shows as "ME".
The ME is showing image of one of my contacts n not me. if I press it for a while it should give me options of "call" "open contact" etc. It opens that person contact not mine.
However all the people are getting messages correctly. Its just in my own message box it is bit awkward to see someone else photo as "ME".
Any ideas?
hmmm seems u are wrong here...
u should contact a doctor and talk with him about your split personality
(sry i coudn't resist)
anyway this should have been posted in general forum - and not dev section.
Sadly i also don't know the reason...
so u may consider this SPAM

Duplicate issue needs help
I am having the same issue. I have the ATT fuze, however this is my third one. The first one was perfect until there was a party foul that took it away. The second one had a typing issue so I replaced it. This third one is doing the same as the above poster mentioned. My today screen will show that I have text messages waiting to be opened but when I navigate to the folder there is nothing in it. Performed a hard-reset but the same thing happened. Installed third party software and now I can view the messages and reply. I am not happy with this "bandaid" but it will temporarily do till this can be resolved. Please help.

there may be something wrong with your storage card
the storage card can, by any means, have nothing to do with it. i personally never had such a problem, so i can just guess:
sample situation:
- i receive an sms, i see a notification, with the sender and the first few words.
- instead of clicking read, i press the hardware mail button to open messaging and read the sms
- while having it opened, i delete it.
- i go back to home screen and there is still a message and a notification
now i have confused my phone showing me new messages, although i already read and deleted them.
that is the only way i could think of to even get in that situation.
btw. that is the same thing with missed calls. if i have a notification of a missed call and instead of clicking the notification i open the phone manually and look whose call i missed, i will still have the message on home screen, telling me, there was a call i didn't know about, although i already checked.
please make sure that the description above is not the case.
because that is a general bug/user mistake, since the notification service is not fully integrated in pocket outlook, sometimes it gives out older data if you bypassed it to get to your information. that is normal. next time you get a message, try clicking the notification and click read or save as read, and look what consequences that has in your messaging folder.
if then still there is no message to be found, right after you read it once, it is still probably an error in the communication between notification service and pocket outlook, but then it is not your fault anymore you'd probably have to flash another rom then,
OR
it is something completely different and you need to contact your carrier, that receiving sms doesn't work out for you, that either you get a new sim or other network settings need to be changed.
my solution
I made some changes using advance config and changed portrait and landscape mode to cleartype. the fuze does not work with cleartype in landscape mode. Turn that off and it begins to work.
Text Messages not displayed
I know this is a very old thread but did anyone come out with a solution.
I'm still using my Blue Angel and it's come up with this problem.
I think it was after I received an MMS message (the first I received).
Got my Touch Pro 2 from MObile Phones Direct (in UK) last week Love it so far. But maybe it's meant to happen but when I send an SMS a copy appears in my Inbox with message prefixed by Me:. Wht's this al about then??
Its called "Threaded SMS" and shows your texts as a conversation.
I like it but I know some people don't.
There are ways to turn it off mentioned all over the boards.
i love it
because you can clearly see the history of the last messages and also it harder to get the wrong person you want to write a msg to ..
And how can i delete one message from thread?
thanks...
You can't, that's the special "Don't cheat on your wife"-option HTC has built in ...
No, kidding. When TF3D enabled click on the sms-icon in the bottom bar.
Click on the latest SMS recieved from the person.
You get a threaded SMS with at the bottom a bar in which you can see emails from that person, call history, etc.
Click Menu > Delete
Select the messages to be deleted
Click done
Yesss.
I didnt think that i can use the delete menu item to delete a message...
So a thought it is delete the entire thread.
Thank you!
I was wondering if any of the cooks know of a workaround for this;
I will automatically always will disable HTC messaging as I find my phone becomes unusable after sending about 5 - 10 texts to a contact (when I click on the text tab where it says 'tap to type' my phone will just hang).
The problem I've found whne disabling HTC messaging I can not use 'texting' as the main shortcut in the faviourites tab. Also even if I click on the contact name, then select 'send message' nothing happens, I also have to go into the messing tab and send from there.
I know it sounds a little trivial but I like being able to send texts in one click right than several!
Sorry if I'm not explaining this well.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot I was in the ROMS section of the forum.

Im wondering the same thing...?
Hi
Found a weird problem with SMS sent to me by T-Mobile and First Direct
When the message arrives it is shown to have come from "John Smith" who isn't in my phones contact list, however he is in my Facebook list BUT without a phone number.
Normally it would show the company name or sometimes 150 for T-Mobile.
If someone who isn't in my contacts sends me a text it is showing the number who sent it.
Anyone else had this or know how to fix it?
Got the same bug myself. Put in a new sim card and the same thing happened again, also the same facebook contact appeared. I just deleted it
OK I deleted the Facebook contact who was showing up (they are not that close a friend anyway)
As soon as I did the SMS changed from his name to First Direct
Not sure why it happened, or what I would have done if it was a close friend, but its fixed for now
I have the same problem, just yesterday... I havent tried to resolve it though..
Problem is I do not know how to delete this facebook contact...

Login to Facebook on your pc.
Goto Friends
Find the one showing up in your SMS
Click on the remove friend link down the left hand side and confirm removal
I had the same...the facebook contact had their phone number listed as '???'.
My (ex) friends number was "Ask Me"
Still not sure how that links it to T-Mobile (150) or First Direct (no number shown)
just posted about this, sorry, missed this post.
i have the same prob, my fb contact has no number but ask me instead. i dont want to delete the contact though, grrr

I wondered when that might happen.... I guess the best option is to delete them, then add them as a friend again?
Although that might bring back the issue, at least its worth a try!
Let us know how you get on.
Got the same problem. Problem is this is quite a close friend so I'm not going delete her.
Hopefully this will get sorted out with a patch or an update.

Just had the same too, hope there's an update for this, it's quite annoying!
Same for me, friends number is '0800 eat my leg' haha
Rather than writing rubbish in the number fields, why not just leave it blank? Stupid people on Facebook.
Same problem here with texts from Lloyds TSB and mobile fun! As a few others, I don't want to delete the Facebook contact to fix it as it shouldn't be happening to start with. :/
Found that the person was the only Facebook contact I had linked with a stupid phone entry. I have Facebook contacts hidden in 'People' and now none of them linked with silly numbers - I'll see what happens the next time one comes.
I don't think its just limited to Facebook linked contacts as mine was linking to an imported contact from Google but who had an additional business number listed as 'x' in the second number field. deleted the field then all was sorted

I have this problem too, when T-Mobile sends me an SMS. At the moment I've only seen Facebook contacts linked to the messages, 2 different contacts so far. One of them (happened just now) actually has her proper mobile number set. In both cases these people exist as contacts purely on facebook, they are not "linked" to a phone/google contact.
I've reported the problem to HTC support, I'll post if I get a reply. Please make sure you report the problem so that HTC are aware of it.
I'm getting the same problem too with my Orange Desire

My fb friend also has "ask me" grrrr
Contacted Orange and HTC to see if they know a fix to this, if not I'll just have to delete that contact.
I contacted HTC last week... just got the following back from them:
Thank you for contacting us. The issue that you have described is known to us, and we are currently investigating this. We hope to have this resolved in a future software update, and you are advised to regularly check the update feature on your phone in order to download any ROM updates as and when they become available. HTC greatly appreciate all feedback from our customers regarding technical issues, and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Hopefully they fix it soon. The more contact they get about it, the higher priority they might give it (wishfull thinking!!) so if anyone is getting this issue please contact HTC via their support link:

Please save a poor woman from getting unwanted texts
I run a junior football squad.
One of the 'soccer mums' originally gave me a wrong mobile number starting 07940 ... which resulted in a poor woman getting lots of texts from me.
I corrected the number on the contact to 07540 ...
If I send a text directly the text goes to 07540 ...
If I reply to a text from 07540... the text actually goes to the 07940 number
If I try and dial 07940... then it comes up with no suggested numbers/contacts. When I receive a text from the poor pestered woman it still comes up with the contact name.
So. I tried deleting the contact (John Smith) and recreated it using a different name (John S). I can no longer find a John Smith in my contacts (even when ticking all the sources to look in - GMAIL, FBOOK etc).
However Gesture Search still finds a John Smith somewhere I have refreshed the index and even reinstalled gesture search but it still finds a John Smith.
Also the SMS thread containing a variety of the 07540 and 07940 numbers all now say they are from JOHN S.
Im confused but the woman receiving rogue texts is getting very p****d off.
Anyone ???
Is it possible that the rogue number is synchronised to your Gmail account, so even if you delete it, it will resync to your phone? Check your gmail account for that number.
Also go to the good number and make sure it's not linked to the rogue one.
Tried that. The contact john smith isn't on my gmail at all. The only place I can find it is using gesture search
Worst come to worst, Settings > Privacy >Factory data reset.
have you tried changing the default number in use in the people app?
