Sorry if there was a thread of this, but I couldn't find an existing one. Anyways, I am able to send texts and receive them. But when I try texting this one contact, it ALWAYS says unable to send, yet I am able to receive texts from him. Does anyone know why its doing this and how to fix it? Thanks!
Check the contact card for the person to see if there is anything different in there compared to other contacts that do work (such as a default number that's not a mobile)
Are you replying to a received text or sending a new one from scratch ?
Does calling the person work ?
I tried to text him first a bunch of times, but all came out as "cannot send text". Then I told him to text me just to see it works/if I have the right number, I received a text from him. So I tried to reply back, still I get "cannot send text".
Sorry and what do you mean compare the contact card? I'm new to smartphones still.

is it possible to send a text message as restricted?
Restricted to what? The sender? Who else would receive it except the sender you specified?
just the recipient. just like a restricted call. *67 blocks your number from caller id. is there a way to block your number from a text message so it shows up on the recipients phone as 'unknown' or 'restricted'?
go to a website that can send a txt message and dont put your number in?
Oh you mean, hidden sender.
There was an app to do that awhile back, but certainly not in the native SMS app on the phone.
I would just use www.vtext.com

heck yes i am. minus the fact that if i send a restricted text that means i cant put a call back number on it. the reason i first thought of it was because some kid was bothering my little sister, and i wanted to message the kid without him getting my number. but i ended up calling him anyways
Hi, i have this weird problem with my htc hero. I can't find any awnsers or people with the same problem, so i thought i asked it here.
This is the case:
Since the new (official) (it's not rooted) rom update i have this problem with the profile pic I set for myself (the one you see in a message thread, next to the messages you send).
When ever i get a message from somebody and i open that message with the notification bar, my profile pic doesn't show in th thread (just the standard silhouette). But if i open a message via the message app, then it DOES show my image.
I have no idea how this happenes. It doesnt have to do with any apps, because i even have it after a clean rom install.
Please help me, it drives me nuts
do you have your own nmber in your address book as me?
I did this as to send test messages to myself, instead of typing my number in i couuld just type me. However this then gave me a blank image instead of my contact card image.
Not sure if this helps?

Hi, no unfortunately it didnt help. I tried adding a contact named Me with my number to see if that helps, but again no luck...
there doesnt appear to be anything in search relating to this so here goes.......
.....im getting sick of htc changing so many features and settings on this phone everytime they release an update. ive got another issue now. not mentioning the dozen ive managed to sort myself in the last day or so.
my text messages are now all over the place. if i recieve a message i hit the message icon on the scroll bar and it opens. reply and then close. normal situation. however. when i want to send another message to the same person either by opening their contact info or hitting the message icon and finding the conversation there is no info at all. wtf!!!
if i go to all messages i get a list of all recipients and the last message either sent or recieved but when i click on that person to reply the entire conversation, 1,2 10, 100 messages that are in brackets next to their name are nowhere to be seen. ive tried removing contact pictures, deleting numbers and attaching them to the contact when a message comes in. no luck. been through the messaging settings, cant find anything else to check or uncheck to resolve this situation. ive no contacts on my sim card just the phone.
cheers. i do need to know if its a general thing with this rom or is my phone just playing up? anyone else noticed this? communications is a big part of messaging and as all phones nowadays seem to be able to record and display conversations with each contact i find it hard to believe htc suddenly decided to bin the idea.
anyone got any suggestions as to how i recover this option as i cant be asked to remember the last few messages of every conversation i have. not to mention important information that i cant access if i cant pull up more than one previous message!
I have the new stock Rom 3.14, and I haven't encountered anything like you've described here. What application did you use to restore the backed-up messages after you flashed the ROM?
fixed this. i had installed a cab recently which disables the annoying 'sent message successfully' notification. but this was also causing the above mentioned problem. unistalling the cab means ive got my conversations back and all contacts/messages link properly. see here for all info and further links... http://www.htchd2forum.com/general-htc-hd2-discussion/more-hatred-for-new-3-14-rom-(conversations)/
OK, I purchased the EVO 3D on release day from Sprint. They transfered all my contacts over from my HTC Hero. I soon started seeing some text messages showing the persons phone number and not their name. I posted the issue on another forum, and was told to delete all my contacts off the phone and log back in to my GMail to reload them. I did the complete data reset and loaded them back up with GMail. Sent a message from my wife's phone to mine and again it showed her number, but no name. I turned the phone off and then back on and tried it again and Viola, now I am getting the name as it should be. But now it is doing something even more strange. Anytime I send a text message to anyone as soon as I press send there is a text window that pops up and says "message saved as draft" . The message was sent to the person I wanted it to go to, but when you look at the main text message page it says " Draft" under the photo. I don't have people's photo so it is just the generic outline of a person. Then when I go to the drafts page the phone is making two drafts of each message that I send. I see nothing in the settings to change to keep this from happening. If anyone knows how I can correct this I would sure appreciate it.
Thanks

My wife and I both grabbed new S2's on Sunday. Since then when text each other our messages often come through as emails, and the from number is often in a weird format. This is irregular, and I have found no solution. I have called and gone int he store, and neither avenue has given me any form of solution.
This only happens when my wife and I send each other messages. Messages are absolutely fine with everyone else.
Here is an example, I will create a new message to "Jessica" I will send the message. That message will likely show up on her phone in proper SMS format from me. She will reply, I usually receive that one fine as well. I then reply back, this time the message has switched into a strange email syntax type format. It will also show up as a new thread from my cell number @txt.att.net instead of from my cell number or contact name. Often instead of it coming through as the above example the number will change into a different number all together, 1410000021 which in no way resembles our actual numbers.
It doesn't matter if I initiate the conversation or it she does. We have cleared all message threads, history, and contact information attempting to flush out errors. We have tried other SMS apps, such as Handcent, still no luck. I have also tried a different SMSC number.
Any suggestions?
Try a factory reset?
Stock rom? Rooted?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
we have not done a factory reset, we are new to android, if we did that would we lose all of our contacts, media, and installed apps?
They are both stock.

Do you have AT&T's new-ish (at least to me it is, had never heard of it till i got my SGS2) messages app, that incorporates all your phone calls, texts, voicemails into one app? It uses MMS to send you transcribed voicemail in a visual voicemail type layout. I haven't played with it myself, but my wife is using it (on her sgs2). I'm wondering if it could be a setting in there somewhere that is triggering duplicate messages?? My wife isn't getting duplicates, but just tossing it out there....
I don't believe we have the messaging app you mention. I am not sure though as we are new to Android so I am unable to know if this is the newish app. It does not have voice-mail included in it though. We have tried using both the stock app and Handcent, neither fix the solution. Also, its not duplicates we are receiving, we are only getting one copy of each message, they are just showing up as emails.
