First off as a new Android user (finally made the move from blackberry) i just want to say thanks to all who have posted in the past as it has been a lot of help in learning about this device.
I have 1 contact that when i sms it is sent to 2 other contacts on my list. When ever i recieve a sms from this contact the sender info lists the other 2 contacts.
As noted above this is my first android device (Samsung GS2 LTE Rogers) it would appear that it is more of an android question and not a device issue.
I have tried removing the contact and even without the person in my address book the sms is still sent to all 3 even though only one number was added. The sender info is changed to the 3 numbers.
Has anyone came across this issue? Any idea for a fix? Have done some googling but have not came across any similar experiences.
The phone is rooted just to freeze bloatware but has stock rom and Gingerbread 2.3.5. I was experiencing the issue prior to rooting so i doubt that is a cause.
I do not have any groups in my contact list.
Any info would be greatly apperciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I recently switched to an unlocked HTC Hero with 2.73 firmware and i find the device great in many areas. However, i have one problem regarding SMS threading. ALL sent / received sms from one contact are displayed in only one thread It's cool to have the threaded view when the are replies back and forth on a particular topic, but i find it annoying when several days later a new sms from this given contact on a completely different topic gets added to the previous thread from the same contact.
Is this the normal behavior ? Can it be modified to behave like "mail" (i.e one thread for back and forth replies, and start another thread if it's not a reply ? or this is not possible, can i disable the threading altogether ?
Many thanks,
Romain.
Good question. I would also like to know the answer.
Hi guys, I hope you can tell me something.
I came from an Htc HD which obviously had Sense.
I was used to the fact that sms from contacts with multiple numbers were grouped by name.
So if John had more then one phone, and sent me messages from all his phones, they would all appear as John's messages (same thread).
Now I came to Android, I installed a number of different messaging apps, and none does the same.
Is it just me that needs such a feature?
Is it even possible on Android?
Go SMS Pro, Messaging, Handcent SMS, all show the exact same behaviour: a thread for each number!
So now my friend John has two or three threads, depending on which phone he has in his reach at the moment...
I can't believe I'm the only one that can't stand this...

Man... You think I'm stupid or you didn't read my post.
I HAVE single contacts with multiple numbers and still they appear as separate threads.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Same problem here
I'm on the HTC HD2 with a gingerbread rom, been bugged by the exact same problem for months. Seems all I can find are other people mentioning the problem, and no solution :/
Solution found?
I apologize if this issue is somewhere in this forum. I've been searching for the better part of an hour and I haven't found anything close, to the issue that I'm having.
Problem: when I send a text message to multiple contacts, for some reason, all of the phone numbers for people in the list, show up as part of the phone number, for the last person on the list from that point forward. For example, suppose that I send a tm to Joe, Mary and Sam. Their phone numbers are 222-222-2222, 333-333-3333 and 999-999-9999, respectively. When I get a reply from Sam (who's the last person on my list of recipients), the msg shows up as being from "222-222-2222;333-333-3333;+1999-999-9999". Note that the +1 has been added only to the last number.
The first time that this happened, I had to delete the contact record for the last person on the list (Sam in this example), turn off the device, restart and manually enter a new contact record. Now that process doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
bump to the top in hopes that someone has an idea as to what's doing this.
I recently got an SGS5, and I noticed something that has started to annoy me. Judging on what I can read online and from googling I am not the only one annoyed by it. But so far no one has actually provided a viable and working solution as far as I see it.
Problem:
I have several contacts with multiple phone numbers under them, and when I get texts from the various number it creates one new thread/conversation pr number they text me from and its getting to the point where it is getting annoying. Isn't there some way to fix or correct this?. ie where the phone defaults to respond to the last number it got a text from, from that contact, or that it simply defaults to sending a text out on the default selected number or asks?.
I am not looking for something or a solution that will merge all my threads back in time, but for something that works going forward so that all threads created from today and onwards gets merged.
I know Google Hangout apparently can do this, but I don't want to use Google Hangout as my default messaging app, and I am presently using HandCent in case there is a setting inside Handcent that I just need to set.
But I hope someone might have a working solution to my problem/issue & thanks in advance.
I just bought s9+ and this my first ever Samsung phone. been using stock android ever since. in stock phone asked which number i want to dial. google account setup and synced. no sync errors.
I have several contacts with 2 or 3 numbers saved under one name. problem is contact list one shows one number only. is there a way to get the rest? I'm stuck without a way to contact people because some people use their personal number after working hours etc...
Please help me. thank you
What version of the phone do you have, and where are you seeing only one number? My Sprint 9+ shows all numbers I have for a contact when I view it in the Contacts app.
