Every time I receive an MMS, a new message thread is created with "Online Album" as the recipient. When opening the thread, all I see is the text "Message not found".
Is there a way to disable this? I have no idea what made it start happening, but it's annoying to have to delete this thread every single time I get an MMS from someone.
anyone have any idea? I'm sorry it's just something I'm at my wit's end with.
I don't know how to fix this but I can tell you that it happened to me today. I was testing sending a picture to myself from computer to phone and got the message. I then took same picture and decreased the size/resolution and then had no problem, straight to phone. So it has something to do with message/picture size restrictions. Where is this on line album???!
This happens to me almost every time I get an MMS. And the contact info is always one of my contacts and never the same person, however it says "To Online Album"
Is there a copy of my MMS messages on the internet somewhere? If so, cool. However I would like to know where it is.
I get this from time to time when my wife sends me pics from her 3gs... i think it probably does have to. Do with the size

Currently using Handcent as my messaging app (but have also verified this in the stock messaging app). Whenever I get longer type of texts from my friends (most using iphones) it shows as a MMS message.
Is there a setting I may have missed to stop this? It's getting really annoying.
Also, is there a way to disable that stupid slideshow when someone sends more than 1 picture in a text?
I text back and forth with my wife all the time... She has an iPhone 4S. I have never had any of her texts arrive as MMS unless they were that. I still use the stock app and running on the stock ROM unrooted. You said you verified this on the stock app, but was that ever before installing the Handcent app or only after?
As far as the stupid slideshow issue... I hate it too... Even if it's only 1 single solitary picture it will play the slideshow... Stupid... Not sure why, but I can't help with that.
Should be normal......... depending on how much you're typing. If you pass the length of 3 text messages, it automatically gets turned into mms to be able to send all of it in one go.
If you're typing less than 3 text messages worth and it still gets sent as an mms, you have a problem.

My sister and I have the same phones, the HTC Amaze. We're both running on Android Revolution, and this bug occurs only when I send her a MMS. Not vice versa. Whenever I send her a picture, she ends up getting like 4 of the same pics i sent, when i only sent it once. Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
If you don't get it sorted you can download a free app called WhatsApp. It's like mms but better, send bigger files, more smiles, etc. Send everything for free too (apart from data costs).
Every text message I am getting from different contacts is coming up as the wrong contact name. It is merging all the messages into a single contact. This is a pain in the ass because every message I get is showing up as coming from one person, and that person is not the person that sent me the message in the first place. I tried clearing all the caches from Messages/Contacts Storage but it is still doing it. Yes I have Facebook and Facebook messenger installed. I did try unchecking Facebook in the People app and using straight Phone contacts. I also tried copying all my contacts into GMail and deleting the phone contacts but nothing worked. I am running FreshROM531 with SOFF. Anyone else have this issue, if so how did you fix it if you did end up fixing it?
Have you tried clearing the app data? If not try a new Rom

I had this issue at one point using gosms, stock sms app worked fine and so does handcent... Can't remember what rom I was on or kernel and whatnot, but I do remember I just un installed gosms to see if it would fix and sure enough..

Yea I have tried wiping data/caches for messages, contacts storage, and facebook. I think it has something to do with the Secure Message box. Because the contact that keeps replacing all my others is the same one for which I had moved a few message threads into the Secure Box. But I deleted these messages already and they are still coming up under that name. Is there a sqlite db that I can take a look at to see if something is lingering around in?

This happens to me every once in awhile and has since I got this phone. Are you using stock messaging? I use gosms.
Sorry in advance if you already stated so -- just woke up.
Edit: Stock, I see. Hmmm...

Just happened again. My friend Dustin sent me a text and it was showing as from my friend Stephanie. I thought it was Stephanie and had no clue what she was referring to, until I finally figured out that it wasn't her, and it was in fact, my friend Dustin. Rebooted the phone and the thread is displaying properly now.
How aggravating.
I ended up wiping my phone. It is fixed, for now. I am fairly sure it had to do with moving messages to the secure msg box since that was the only contact name I ever moved msgs into the box for.

It's a bug with sense. It did it for me on a couple sense ROMS. It happens to people on stock ROMs too (check Sprint community). I switched to Deck's CM10 and haven't looked back. Zero issues
btw I never used secure message box
When I get a text while the screen is off, it shows up in the lock screen like it's supposed to. But if I pull the text down to the ring to unlock the screen, it will open up the text conversation at the 1st message in the convo instead of the most recent one. So I have to either:
A. Scroll all the way through the conversation down to the bottom, or...
B. back out to my list of threads and go back into the one from the person who just txt'd, at which point everything behaves like normal (showing the new text.)
Does anybody else get this?
I've had it happen a couple of times, not often though. Might be a silly question but have you rebooted the phone? I had a glitch when I first got mine with the audio and when I did a hard restart (with the fast boot option off) it fixed it. I've actually just left fast boot off because it starts up plenty fast no matter what.

I get this all the time. Not really a solution but an alternative to scrolling, you can touch the screen when in conversation and on the right a slider will appear and you can just slide this to the bottom. It scrolls by days so its much faster than just flicking through.
I don't know if anyone else has this problem but when I get a picture message, the date and time of the last text on the main thread screen (where you can see my conversations) for that conversation thread is always that of the pic message and only updates to the correct date and time of the last text when the pic message is deleted.

The messaging app is quirky as hell. It redraws on me SO many times; it's so frustrating. It constantly shows people's phone numbers before switching to the names. I also experience the bug mentioned in this thread quite often.
It's a shame, really. The messaging app is beautiful and I LOVE that it natively does group MMS - something I'm shocked that Google has yet to implement when it's a much coveted feature in iOS. Being a college student, I see group MMS used quite often, especially with group projects.
I would switch to another messaging app, but I'll miss the lock screen functionality. I also find the UI of most alternatives to be pretty ugly.

On the sms/mms thread it shows the time of the most recent message.

Man, I thought it was just me. Like another poster mentioned, the app is beautiful, but glitchy. Has anyone else noticed it switchingover to 3G and not switching back? My wife has a razr and has good signal when I drop to 3G. Seems like software, so maybe new radios will fix it?
I too experience redrawing and time being incorrect when a mms is involved in a thread between someone. And switching to the middle "sms/mms" tab does fix it. Also sometimes I'll have to back out to the main messaging screen and then go back to a thread in order for it to update. Example: I'll get a text, I go to the thread and then get another text from the same person right after. I know so because it shows up in the notification bar, but it won't show up in the thread unless I exit it and come back to it so it can refresh.
here's HTC's response as to why it redraws:
"As far as the SMS application, I have noticed that. To be honest with you, the SMS application just like the People application is only an application that is designed to read a database, it doesn't actually store the information. Not only this, but as you may already know, SMS is sent through the network as number only, so when the phone gets the message its actually nothing but a number and the contents (data/text). So, when the phone receives the message it places it in the dialer storage application's databases. Then the messaging application polls that database to load all the available message threads, then the message application polls the contact storage database to cross-reference all of the contact information with the information in the message, and finally it links the storage information from the contact database to the message"

very good point. and any other phone does this too. dont know why its a big deal here?
another issue I have noticed is if you are using the voice dictation with Google now to send a text to someone then that text may not show up in the messaging thread between you and that person.
Not to go too far off topic, but have any of you guys tried Handcent SMS? It's a free SMS/MMS replacement app that is so much better than any preinstalled messaging app I've used on Android.
You can have new messages show as a on-screen pop-up that can bypass the lockscreen and directly show you the message and let you reply from the pop-up. It also does group MMS (among many other options I won't go into detail about).
It's extremely more customizable than any Android stock messaging app I've seen, and it's the first thing me and all the friends I've told about it install on their new Android phones. Set aside 30 minutes to set all the options the way you want it, as there are many of them.
Stock htc one looks better in my opinion. I used to use go sms pro on my old incredible with aokp rom

Handcent just looks like a failed attempt at knocking off the iPhone messaging app. And its just heavy. The HTC one is polished and extremely smooth, and customizable to a reasonable extent.
