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:

I know, this is my third open topic on a different issue...:-\
Ever since I got my phone, everytime it reboots it sends a batch of previously sent messages to a few contacts. The messages that are being sent did indeed go through when initially sent, however the cases that the phone selects a few recent contacts and sends a batch of sms messages again. T mobile is no help, I know xda is

I'm having the exact same problems. I've noticed some messages say "sending" even though they've already been sent and received by the other person. Once I reboot, those messages get resent.
I've searched but haven't found anything
I fixed it by uninstalling SMS Popup. If you have that installed I recommend removing it.
i use Go SMS, and i can send the a whole load of friends at the same time without any crash
Hi,
I have a htc one x upgraded to the latest version 4.0.4, not rooted, and I have a problem when I send an sms to one person. For some unknown reason it sends it as a group sms to 4 other people also. I have spoken to htc support, and they said uninstall the 3rd party program to no avail, then clear data in message, but couldn't do that because it was greyed out. Next step was to test in in another phone, I had an iphone 4s and as far as I know it worked fine. Next step was to delete data in the dialer app, which i did, but no help.
I have even deleted the contact in my phone, restarted it and sent and sms just by using the number, but for some strange reason my phone seems to have grouped that number to a group. I can't find that group, but considering the contact is deleted and it still sends it as a group sms, there must be something in the phone.
As far as I can see it only happens to this number, never happened before. Htc's last resort was to do a factory reset which I don't really want to do.
I am hoping there are some smart cookies here that can help me!
Please help!
How to fix SMS recieving on HTC One m8 (T-mobile)?
Hello all, I am having an issue receiving regular text messages on my m8. It is particularily the longer messages, but not to the point where they have become MMS. Here's what has been done so far! I have...cleared my message threads, cleared the cashe, did a soft reset of the phone, did a master reset of the phone, now I have a replacement phone and it still isn't working, I've done a master reset of the replacement phone, and I have gotten a new SIM card.
I am still not receiving a lot, probably 75% of my messages.
Other notes: my old imessage is deactivated. My number is no longer associated with Apple. It is from all sorts of numbers. Not just a single person. They are using different phones on different networks.
PLEASE HELP!

From what you wrote, my opinion is its probably not your phone but a network issue. Either iMessages is still hampering things OR TMOs got a network issue delivering messages to you.
But if you came from an iPhone then go back to iMessages being an issue..
When did you go from iPhone to HTC?
give us some background on that.
Are you getting "null" at the end of your messages received?

Hi all,
I have an HTC Dual-Sim (China version) running Lollipop 5.02 4.25.1401.6, rooted and TWRP; and have been using it quite flawlessly since I brought it.
Since the 28th, I have not been able to receive any text messages on both sims, though sender's phone for the text message will show as delivered and read. I can send text messages no problem though.
So I did a few tests, a full reset or changing to a different rom will resolve the issue, but after I restore data the issue will come back.
I looked at the permission manager and everytime a message is sent (from my one sim to the next), three apps will show up: messages, phone and google play services
and the phone app shows it has the permission to read, write and delete messages, cant set it as denied either.
3rd party sms apps like handcent doesnt receive anything either, the same with Hangouts.
Checked for blocked contacts but the lists are empty...it feels as if the phone gets the message but a specific app is receiving and deleting all the received messages.
Now the question is, any way of getting my phone working without having to build up my data from scratch?
It the same whether its a 4.4.4 rom, stock, 5.02. Once data is restored, I cant receive sqwat.
Not being lazy or anything but I rather not install everything from scratch, I forgot some of my credentials for some apps and some are registered on old phone numbers which I dont have anymore.
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Ok so for whoever that may run into this problem also, the issue was greenify 2.6 beta 3...
It somehow disabled the text broadcast and I dont even receive the text in the message app.
Uninstalling it doesnt remedy the issue, had to install 2.6 final, install xposed for lollipop and enable all the options I did before the issue occurred and now I can receive text messages again.
