Does you TB misdirect your text and picture messages?

[pilem]

I just bought my TB a week ago. I had the original Motorola Droid before then. I'm not sure if I it's something *I* am doing but I am ready to pull my hair out!

At least once a day my phone won't send a text to the person to whom it was designated. It will randomly select a person I have previously conversed with. It is frustrating!! Is this something anyone else has experienced? If so, is there a fix for it?

Any input or assistance is greatly appreciated!

This is a known bug. I believe there is a fix in gingerbread

Weird. Are you using the stock messaging app, or a different one? I would recommend perhaps trying go sms or handscent. Maybe that will help? Good luck.

It's been mentioned a few times as a defect in stock Froyo (not just the Tbolt falls victim to it, from what I can understand).

I've never had it happen to me, but I tend to clear out sent/received SMS/MMS messages pretty quickly so there aren't a lot of messages for it to get confused with.

Supposedly there's a fix in Gingerbread for it, or you can use an aftermarket SMS messaging tool for now, or just watch your recipients VERY carefully.

Thank you! I am going to have to read up on gingerbread. From the few things I have read, it looks as thought it might hopefully fix a few things.

Tfrank, I am using stock messaging app. I never considered searching the market for something different. I'm just glad to know it's not something I'm doing.

Yeah, I just had this happen for the first time a couple of days ago, since the release date of March 17th. Extremely annoying! At best!

Stock HTC app on stock phone.

I also hope the GB update fixes this.

I have only had it happen once so far, I have also read that it happens with 3rd party apps too, though i can't say 100%

My personal fix, that has worked so far, aside from one time where I received a message at the same time as I was sending one, was cutting down the message limit to fifty per person and not having more than three conversations open at once.

When I had it at the default unlimited, it was happening to me almost on a daily basis, even with just two text windows.

It used to happen a lot to me but one thing that an above mention was deleting all messages daily. I have done this and since then the error has yet to happen again

It's a fun lil bug, isn't it? My coworker knows some of the things I was planning on doing to my girlfriend the following night because of it. Made for interesting conversation at work.

When I first encountered this bug I made sure to exclude my messaging/sms apps from my task killer. I haven't had a misdirected message since.

This bug seriously sux. I have sent soooo many messages to the wrong person. It's embarrassing sometimes

This happens to me quite a bit, and it always selects the same person as well. It is really annoying and frustrating. Don't know about a gingerbread fix cuz I'm using gb and it still does this...

That's what I was afraid of.

Haven't had it happen yet and since I have nothing good to say about anybody I should start getting some angry replies pretty soon! Lol

I hope Brent Favre doesn't have a Tbolt!

Had that issue before the Gingerbread update.

What if I don't have a task killer?

[recDNA]

Maybe it hasn't happened to me since I have conversations limited to 10 messages....and because I only text about 20 different people.

I have no power saver nor task killer. I use go sms

 

[mrtonk]

It has never done this for me.
