[Q] Receiving blank group texts from one single person - Nokia Lumia 920

This has been driving me crazy for many months now. Group texts show up blank on my phone, Lumia 920 AT&T, from just one single person. Regular non group texts show up just fine. Even weirder I can see picture messages from this person that include text.
This didn't always happen. One day out of nowhere they just started coming in blank a few months ago.
In a group text consisting of around 10 different people, all with different phones and mobile carriers, his texts show up fine for them. I'm the only person who receives blank texts from that one single person. Makes me think it's something on my end...
The person's group texts I can't see is using an HTC One on Sprint, if that makes any difference.
Things I've tried unsuccessfully:
Restart the phone
Delete ALL texts from phone
Tried manual MMS APN
If anyone has ideas I'm all ears. Getting sick and tired of this.
PS: I miss android with a passion.

Well this is interesting. Found out a friend has a Lumia 1020 and also receives blank group texts from that same person. What is going on? No one else has a Windows Phone, just the two of us.
Again I can see pictures from that person in a group text, including the text with it. Regular group texts come in blank from that one person.
Problem with Windows Phone 8?

Possible hacked phone sending sms's, help needed

Hi iv checked my orange uk bill online and seen that a number keeps dialing out but it never connects then after or before it calls out it sends a text ti the same number then charges me 0.08p no its not a lot but this is happening every 5-10 minutes
Iv attached a picture for you to look at and see that its been going on since before christmas.
Iv got unlimited text messages with my orange uk bundle, and the texts i do send to my friends do not charge me. Little lost in what to do or what program may be causing this little problem.
Help is need here.
Take a look its happening a lot.
Going to try a fresh rom.

Try installing a virus scanning app from the market to see if it finds the culprit. Otherwise backup important apps/data, wipe and flash a fresh ROM. Not 100% sure if flashing a new ROM removes the virus but its worth a shot.

I would use a different rom as well and see if it stops.

[Q] Groove IP & GV

I have Groove IP installed and configured with Google chat and Google voice so that I can send and receive phone calls on my View. I wanted to setup my Google voice as my voicemail service on my phone. But if I do this I can no longer send and receive calls on my tablet. Is there anyway around this or can I get a second Google voice number to use with my phone?
You can get a second number for your phone with a different gmail address. One gv number per gmail address. I have numerous gmail addresses so I have one set up for my phone and one set up for my tablet.

My Evo View was a huge help in the last election. I used it at our State headquarters when the other phones were tied up.

This is really working well for me, I talked on the plane today to my wife via Gogo and Groove! I a, not sUre why the first post needs to go through all those extra steps. I have google voice on my cell and my tablet
I love Groove IP and Google Voice, but I find the audio delay to be very annoying especially in conference calls. The delay is 2 to 4 seconds. So i use Skype for calls now , and the delay is not even noticeable on Skype. But its not free for calls to phones.

[Q] S Voice FAQ/How To/Tips

Google seems to be fairly devoid of any useful information about the specifics of S-Voice. I was wondering if we've started anything like a FAQ for S Voice around here yet?
S Voice seems to be full of hidden or not so easy to find options. For example, my fiance and I both got Galaxy 3's at the same time. After messing around with the phones for several hours we got to the point where whenever she received a text message or call, S Voice would announce that person's name (EX: Incoming call from Samantha) while mine did not. It took us about 5 days to figure out this had to do with driving mode.
Driving mode: Incoming calls and new notifications will be read out automatically:
You can toggle driving mode by double tapping the home key and telling S-Voice "Driving mode on/off" or by going to Settings-->Language and input-->Text-to-speech output-->Driving Mode
What tips/tricks/Easter Eggs have you come across so far?
Great idea for a thread. Seems the voice apps never have very complete documentation on what you can do.
settings, language and input, then turn on voice cmd for apps,
now you can say answer or reject a call, say cheese to take a picture, say snooze to the alarm and control you music by saying next, previous etc etc
don't forget to hit the Thanks Button if I help you
Cool...one caveat: works on only certain apps. For example, this does not work on in Mixzing, but does work on the Stock Music Player.
Kudos to Samsung or Vlingo for this, I'm a big fan of Hitchhikers Guide so today when I asked S Voice "What is the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything?" I was pleasantly surprised by its thrifty response.

[Q] Some email attachments not visible after ICS update

Been searching for this all morning with no luck.
Got given the bosses Galaxy S2 last week, so did a factory reset then an OTA update to 4.0.3 then started playing and setting it up for work use. I am using the inbuilt email program for my work POP3 account and the gmail program for the gmail account, viewing both through the combined email viewer - all working fine.
However, when I receive after hours voice mail messages from work, which send as a .wav file, the attachments wont show up, ie when viewing the email there is no attachments tab. If I try to forward the message, sure enough the attachment is there and visible and openable. All other attments seem to be showing OK (as in documents, PDF's, etc) just not the .wav files.
Is there a security setting or something somewhere that needs changing?
Well General is not the place where you stick questions. Moved to Q&A.
Sorry about that, thanks for relocating for me.
Further to the mystery, I mentioned if I try to forward the email I can now see the attachment in my outgoing message, well I decided to send the forward and the message that comes in now has the attachment visible...
This is what I mean - this is an incoming message where the attachment is not showing and no way of finding it -

Whereas this one that was received same as above, but then simply forwarded back to myself - now the attachment is visible so it was obviously always there
Bump!! Anyone?
I am getting the voice mails redirected to my gmail account today to see if it makes any difference.

[ISSUE] MMS Creates New Thread For Same Contact!

I have a message thread between my fiance and I. But, for some reason, when i send her an MMS, it will create a new thread. So, then i will have 2 message threads between the same contact. Even when I am in the actual thread itself and try to add a photo that way, as soon as i click send, it appears as if the mms will go inside the same thread i'm already in, but then it disappears and when i go back to my conversations page, it shows as a new thread. Then all further sms' received will go inside the new thread the MMS created.
I already tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227352&page=2
but all that did was merge the threads together, but, then again, i send an MMS and it creates a new thread.
i did notice, however, when i use SMS Backup and Restore and i use the "Backup selected threads" feature, it will show the phone number in different formats. EX: +1xxxxxxxxxx and +1 xxx-xxx-xxxx
I know that has something to do with it because every time i tried the method in the link above, The new MMS that created a new thread, will show up in the .xml file under a different number format than the other SMS'.
I don't understand why my phone doesn't recognize the number formats as the same contact .
PLEASE HELP!
Here is a screenshot of what i mean by 'Multiple Threads for the Same Contact'

Are your contacts properly synced to google? This happened to me before. But once I synced my contacts to google they're now properly merged. Weird issue though.
