I received a text message from a family member. We both have stock Touchwiz (S4 and Note 3). In the message the sender's name was listed with a comma and a string of seven numbers, like this "Name, 1234567“. I'm trying to figure out what the seven -digit number is for.
I looked in the message details and the type is shown as a Multimedia Message and the to: line shows it was sent to me with my name and phone number in parentheses, followed by a comma and the same string of seven numbers.
The sender claims they sent the pic to me only. At first I thought the numbers were for a second recipient, but I thought that a group message doesn't show other recipients phone numbers? I would also expect a phone number to be in parentheses with a plus at the beginning of the number.
Is this another phone number, or is it something else? I would appreciate any help!

Hi,
I don't like the treaded sms and also the fact that If I have a message from an unknown number, the same number is listed as a part of the Pocket CM contact list. Is there a workaround to this problems.
I don't want threaded messages and listing of messages phone number in my contact list.

The second part i don't understand sorry.
Cheers
...or settings in Advance Tool Settings
Let me explain the second problem.
I received a message (maybe promotional message) from an unknown sender (someone who is not part of my contact list). Once I have received this message and its part of my message inbox. Now this number from where I have received the message is listed in my contact list with a number of messages received in the contact list. This is one feature that i don't want.
Here something

Thanks to Meshle! Be strong Brother!
Thanks a lot - That will be really helpfull.
I've installed the lite version (without cube) and just wondering if I can change the keyboard when texting, I find the individual keys a bit too small, wonder if a different style keyboard is out there?. Also when writing out the 1st line of the text and upon reaching the end of the screen it does not scroll to the 2nd line but continues across with loss of text already typed to the left...any ideas how it can be resolved?
Thanks
Hey guys,
Ive got a small irrite with my desire, if I recieve a Text message from my voice mail client, it will display the number of the caller who left the message, but will not refer to the name of the caller if the number is stored in my phone book.
Does anyone know how to do a work around for this or is there an app outthere that I just cant find?
I had this, too. For me a reboot solved the problem.
The names have never shown up...
It looks like the android system does not reference known numbers as the name stored in the phone book.
Ie.
You have 1 new voice message.
The last message was received
from +27xxxxxxxxxx
If my SE P1i knew the number it would show the name of the contact, not the number.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well it will either include the number in the message or show it as coming from that number(mine does both).
If your voice mail does the latter, it will of course show up with the right name. If the number is just included in the message, however, it will not look it up for you.
There is a workaround, as chompsms recently added this feature to swap phone numbers in messages, if you have the name stored in you phonebook And it is working perfectly from here.
Thanks Mortenmph...
but do i have to change my sms app entirely, or does it intergate with htc's message apk?
When the name not shown then set the permission with adb-shell:
adb shell chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
Thanks Michael,
All I have in that folder is the Facebook contact images, ??? - will I get the same effect as I did running chompsms?
Followed your advice, but nothing has changed....
Anybody able to help here???
Yes you will have to update the messaging app or make htc add the functionality to theirs...
It's all about how the app is programmed to show the text message, HTC's app shows it as is without looking at the content, and chomp search for numbers and replace them. You should be fine with chomp though it's got some vwery decent features over the original one.
I was wondering if there is an SMS activity log somewhere on the DHD like there is on a whole bunch of other android phones.
I could do with the telephone number of a text message I received but deleted without thinking!
If I could find a log then I could get the number? I'm not interested in the text itself, just the number from which it came.
Any help is much appreciated.
Hi,
For starters, please excuse me for the title - I really don't know how to formulate this and it might be the reason why Google couldn't help me this time.
Everyone in our team uses a Galaxy Note II - and one of them has the following problem :
When we get a text message indicating someone left us a voicemail message, we get a number of 5 to 6 digits (5555xx, where xx is the following number of that message in your mailbox). He's the only one who doesn't get that number as a touchable link that would immediately open the dialer and allow you to call that number.
I checked if it worked when you send him a text message with an actual complete phone number - and that works well. If anyone of us gets a text message with in it a succession of numbers - the numbers are always shown as link, regardless of it being a phone number or not. But not him.
I couldn't find a specific option for that in the settings. I don't think anyone of us did anything special to get that behavior.
Is this clear enough ? Can someone help with this ?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Mike
So i got the update to Android 9 on my S9 AT&T and messaging has been normal when it is to only 1 person. When I get a group message, the person who started it will have their contact name show normally, but my issue is that every other person on the message only shows their phone number, not their contact name. They are definitely people I have had in my phone forever and if I message one on one with them the contact info shows. It's just group messages that show phone numbers. If i press the number it shows their name, but just looking at the texts, I have no idea who is who (like i know phone numbers). Any fix to this?
Thanks in advance!
