SMS quirk - saves the last word as a saved message - AT&T LG Optimus G

I've been having a weird issue where after I send a text message, the last word of the text message will be saved as a new message to that recipient. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
If so, anyone have any ideas on how to correct it? It's more annoying than it is troubling, but would really like to have the issue go away.

I've been having the same thing happen to me. Seems to happen when I send the text and then exit immediately the app.
Edit: I'm using Swype

chalk me up as a 3rd person having the inconvenience. I'm using Swype beta. I thought turning off next word predict would fix it, but it didn't. I can't say if it happened on the stock keyboard. And it doesn't seem to happen every time. I think putting punctuation at the end of the text keeps it from happening

Happens to me too.

Same here. It was working fine for a little while, but then started up

Happens here to...I am using Swype though. Might be the cause?

I use the Swype feature that came with the phone and I'm not having any issues with words being saved as a draft.
/Knock on wood.

maybe the phone just...
*puts on sunglasses*
wants the last word.
YEEEEEEAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Text msg sends to wrong contact

Hey,
Has anyone have their vibrant send a text to a random contact?
Some times while I'm have a text conversation, the contact image will change to someone else. And then my texts from that point on is sent to the contact whose pic is showing. So if I'm texting John, I send a reply to his text. But all of a sudden the picture is Sarah. And even though the number showing is Johns, the text are being sent to Sarah.

Happens to me sometimes
It has happened to me twice, with two different Vibrants, but I have exchanged them both. I am on the third one now and has not happened yet... easy fix, just delete both threads of texts "Sarah" and "John" and it will all be back to normal
by the way, this is not why I exchanged the phones, I had some email issues, but happened on both phones
Ok,
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. It has happened to me twice so far.
Happened to me.
This'll go over great when, meaning to text my wife, I send something like "Let's bone tonight!" and it goes to some random female friend. Yeah, let's hope this fix is in the coming update.

LoL Happened to me a couple of times...Sent a message meant for my girlfriend to a friend of mine that I had also been talking to that night...lets just say he wasn't too interested in the activities I had planned for us that night.
Like posted before just clear your messages and it shouldn't happen as much. It's a pain but hopefully that's something that gets fixed in the upcoming update.
This sounds vaguely familiar - I remember hearing about this on the Nexus One:

Apparently it's still going on even in Froyo. I have never personally experienced this. Also read here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1233
There is some speculation that the corruption begins after receiving an incoming MMS from certain services such as Bank of America's online banking alerts.
Has happened to me more times than I can remember. Makes things interesting of course, but yes def has been happening.
Just a thought - there is an app called SMS Backup/Restore which can index all your messages into an XML file. It skips MMS but this is ok because I rarely receive them.
So if you are experiencing wrong recipients, try taking a full XML backup using this app, and then clear your SMS logs. Restore them back and see if the messages are back under the right threads, and see how long it takes to get the error again.
+1 for me as well...
I've had a similar issue but not exactly the same. I will receive a text from someone and press to reply and it opens a text box with the recipient being someone different than the one I am meaning to reply to. I have caught it both times and have yet to send out a bad text to someone, but it is annoying that you have to be that careful with something that has worked perfectly on phones that are $20 phones... shouldn't happen.

Text message app... please help

So for some reason my text message app always shows 1 hour behind on all the messages I receive. I hate that it does this cause it never shows the newest one last and I am having to search for the message that was sent...
Anyone else experience this? Or know how to fix it?
I am using the stock HTC messaging app... I know it is not a rom issue cause I can switch between roms and it stays the same. Unless this is a wide spread issue I am unaware of.

Mods, suggest closing before he gets flamed to death...

ok..... That wasn't so bad, was it?
Just use search for future reference! Have a great day, Valued Customer!

Canceling SMS

Is there a way to cancel an SMS during sending? I used to be able to go to the outbox and stop the message before it sent (Accidental, bad message, sent to wrong person, etc). However, I can't seem to do that on this phone. Is there any mod or app that can allow me to possibly long press a message while it's sending and cancel the sending? (I get ****ty reception where I'm at, so it usually takes a couple seconds before the message sends).

Why don't you try selecting the message as its sending and when the menu pops up you hit "delete". Usually works for me when sending mms.

I tried that. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it still goes through. Also, sometimes I don't necessarily want to delete the message, but rather edit it, especially if it's a long message :l
Haven't gone through that yet so don't know but that's the reason I always type the body content and do fill in the recipient last.
Handcent has an option to confirm before sending.
doesnt take long at all to send a sms message. but if you do delete it before it goes through, it will get canceled. But only have a limited time. Cant edit or delete a message thats already sent/recieved.
Quick fix: Dont be so fast to hit the "send" button
Go SMS pro also has the same feature. Let's you confirm before sending a message. I'd recommend moving to that or handcent if you wanna be in more control of your SMS app. Plus the ability to swap themes on the fly is always nice too

Confirming every message would be annoying. Plus, even if I had that functionality on, I'd grow to just confirm without reading. I usually catch errors when it's being sent (my luck ). Also, I tried deleting a message that was being sent the other day, yet the person still got it? Was I just not quick enough or...? Because I saw the little green arrow still indicating that it was trying to send the second I deleted it.
Proof read? That's what I do, not always 100% but it helps. Hopefully you find a solution. Until then, proof read ;-)

I personally can't vouch for that method of deleting-while-sending to be true. I used to do that a lot and sometimes it worked. Others it didn't. And confirming every message can be pretty annoying lol. Other than that though there isn't much else to do other than pay a littleeee bit more attention before you hit that nice shiny send button

Texting to wrong number?

Anyone have an issue with texting?
I was using GO SMS Pro and occasionally I would get a text appearing to come from the last person to text me.
For example, if John was the last person to text me then Jane did, Jane's message would appear as if it was from John.
I thought it was GO SMS so I uninstalled it. Today on the stock messaging app I noticed a text come in and it rapidly changed from the last person who sent me a text to the person it was really from.
When this happens and I reply, it goes to BOTH people.
Very strange. Hasnt happened to me
Very embarrassing. The last time it happened I didn't catch it therefore a lot of my private texts were posted as comments to my friend's status update on Facebook.
BUMP!
This is STILL happening even after the update. I am bone stock, even ran the newest RUU.
It happens if I use Chomp or Go SMS. If I use stock SMS app I can see it come in under the wrong number and quickly change to the right number. This SUCKS. The other day I thought I was responding to my wife, telling her all the nasty things I was going to do to her when I got home from work, turns out I was posting them to my buddies wall because I get text alerts when he posts to Facebook.

Yeah..not a known issue. If you already ran RUU and updated, I would assume its time for replacement. Last effort would be PRL and data profile refresh. Good luck.

This has never happened to me, I am rooted and running MeanRom. My wife complained about it on her phone (Completely Stock) and I saw it in the messaging history. In the stock messaging app, a message from person A will show up under the thread for person B. It only happens every now and then, but it is very crazy. Not sure why it happens.

Text Messages Show Up As Wrong Contact Name

Anyone experience this? My gf will text on her LGOG and when she receives text the wrong name pops up but under the #info it shows the right names #. You think having her contacts transfered over from her iPhone to her Android at at&t is causing a problem.

I had this happen a couple of times after flashing new ROMs. It seemed to fix itself after a couple of reboots.

I had this happen when I had the same number saved under 2 different names. I'm not sure how it happened, if this is the problem just delete the wrong one and it should fix itself.

My wife is seeing the same problem on her phone. She will send a text to somebody but the reply will say it is somebody else. Rebooting the phone then assigns the message to the correct person. We have already checked the contacts to see if there was any duplicate info, but that is not the issue. Might just run a custom rom and hope that fixes the problem.

I thought about going that route, but ended up just flashing Vanilla RootBox on it instead. Haven't had the problem on that rom. Now just the occasional reboot.
I had this problem this morning received text from my wife under my coworkers contact info as though it came from him. When I replied back under his contact info she received the reply. Very frustrating. He hasn't replied to any of my text this morning. May not be receiving them.
