Hi all,
when i send a sms my photo do not appear, i have a grey square...
My profile is set correctly whith my photo.
Bugs ???
Check if you don't have your number also on SIM card.
Checked, my number is not on sim card or on phone contact, only on my profile.
contact/menu/+/myprofile
any idéa ?
Great, so on list of SMS click on your "gray square"
Standart SMS/MMS application:
It request you about adding contact <your_phone_numer> say yes, fill some stuff what you want and click again on "gray square" on top, chose picture what you want.
Handcent SMS
It forwards you to Account configuration, where is first menu "Account picture" so just select picture, that you want to use.
In native app sms/mms, that not work if i press on gray square nothing takes place
just an orange border is displayed around gray square.
I have installed handcent and all work fine...
I think that it is a bug of native app...firmware is v10b
Strange.... If I tap on contact which I know, it shows me ikons for call, contactlist, sms and sometime for email if I have configured it. If I click on "unknow" person, it ask me, if I want to add add "xxxxx" to contactlist. I have Neojn's void. based on V10a
Yes that work for me too with unknow contact, i have no problem for add a picture to a contact but for ME not work...MY photo do not appear at right of Me:blablabla...
In same way like for other it worked for me. Try remove your profile information from phone and make sure that you haven't stored number elsewhere and try again.
I tried several times this does not work...
factory reset -> not work...
on French forums several people have the same problem...
Little hazardous solution, but you can try install mms apk from me, for try if it helps.
But backup original apk, or better do nand backup.
Thanks, i test now after a nand backup
Not work, i try to install and i have error msg: app not installed
and if copy your file to system/app icon of sms not appear...
tomorrow i try void rom...
Same problem with void rom, it is really strange....
i have the same problem.....

LOOOL, you will not believe!!! I was thinking about and I figured out, that here can be only one differences between each other and it is language. I chosen English instead of czech and guess what!! It didn't works. So, dou know some other language or can I write "how to" in czech?
I have the same problem. Italian user.
I think, that creating new contact with picture and yours phone number (without country code) should be enough.
so i figured it out ! you go to phone dialer > contacts > menu button > more and my profile and there u go
i allready try this method but not work on my phone...i don't know what to do
for me its work only with handcent...
I think it si a problem of sim card, Mine is more than 15 years old...
On parameter/ about phone/ status/ my number phone is unknow...

Already Set to Phone Memory, But whenever am saving the new contacts it saves in Google. Don,t know why
I know what you mean, yeh. It's one of those glitches I think. My phone memory/sim memory numbers change all the time when I look in there, especially if I have to take the sim out. I think positioning of the sim is a factor too

PROBLEM Solved.
I already Set the Contacts option to Phone Memeory.
But Whenever you are trying to save a new contact, after the name option there is option of of Google, Phone and Sim. So evertime you have to select where you wanna want to save.
Every time I reset my phone when it restarts, it tells me i have a new text message even though there is no message in my text inbox. anyone come across this before?
yes, i know this problem, and never got it solved >.< after a time it was away.. xD
what helped in my case was switching SMS view to traditional, then while scrolling through the inbox I've found one supposedly unread message at the very end of the list, after opening it marker disappeared
how to change to traditional view and back >.<
I have deleted all my messages. if i receive a sms then delete it, it clears, but if i reset it comes back.

page 146 of manual: "To manage text and multimedia messages by folders
If you want to use the conventional way of managing your messages by folders, tap Menu > Settings > Traditional Mode on the All Messages screen. The Inbox folder is then displayed, listing separate text and multimedia messages instead of threading."
another possible solution could be using PIM Backup to backup all text messages, deleting all manually and restore back - I did not try it, as the method above helped in my case
If you had another phone with a SIM and moved the SIM to your HD2 you may find there is a text message on the SIM. The HD2 can't delete from the SIM so you need to put the SIM back in a "dumb" phone and delete it there.

Thanks. It worked, any idea what it does?
Hello,
I have a LG Optimus One, when I receive a call or message the contact name can't show it only show the number, off course contact available at the contact list. (The contact list I sync from Gmail contact)
I don't know the problem is my phone or firmware? How can I fix it?
Pls help me.
I had similar problem - it shows wrong contact name and picture becouse it takes contacts from SIM card. Try backup contacts, remove all from SIM and copy contact directly into phone (using for ex. MyPhoneExplorer). Then restart phone.
It strange, but I didn't find another way. Also try enable/disable contact viewing optipons in menu. There is many options and after some time it started works fine on my OO, but I'm not sure what I done directly. Anyway these steps helped me.
Hi All,
Before you say it, I know what I'm doing and understand how Google contacts work, I had a HTC HD2 (thanks Pongster and XDA!) and I am used to Android.
I know how Google contacts work, infact I submitted a bug fix to AweSync to fix up their syncing of Google Contacts with Lotus Notes.
Why does the Samsung Galaxy 1 (and 2!) show me _ALL CONTACTS_ when trying to SMS people? or when I try to save a newly dialled number into contacts, it shows all contacts?
I don't want to SMS an email address! I don't want to sift through 1,300 contacts yet this idiot phone is showing me them.

It's listing email Address's in the SMS TO: field - yet I've CLEARLY unticked "All contacts" and I've made it only show contacts with a phone number.
What is wrong with this thing?
EDIT: also, forgetting my ring tone every time I reboot isn't impressing me either.
Okay, I can't answer all your problems, and I do agree that the management of contacts on this phone is pretty poor, but there's obviously ways round certain issues.
One thing that will immediately help you is to use the contacts app to send SMS, rather than the SMS app. Select your contact (filtered as shown in your post) and you can swipe them left to SMS or right to call. That's a pretty handy feature.
However, if you're sending a message to more than 1 person you're back to square 1. I'd strongly recommend getting GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts (both free) from the Market. They're excellent replacements and I'm sure you'll be a LOT happier with them.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

It does what you describe above. I don't know what you expect it to do though. You dial a number, click "Add to contacts" or "New contact" to either list all your contacts or create a new one.
is there any solution to this, i quite like the messaging app, but find it quite annoying when i have to search through hundreds of contacts, or else exit out to the contact application to text some1 who's actually in my contacts list ....
Its not a deal breaker for me, i prefer the stock than go sms or handcent, or any alternative i've tried, so if there is no fix i'll grin and bear it but if there is please help out
.... its not that i prefer the stock to any other, its just that no other provides anything that makes me want to move from stock, and since both will be running anyways it seems pointless to be wasting battery .... also i found double contacts problems with other apps aswell

It's just poor design by Samsung.

Why? I think it is a good idea, since I very often MMS to email addresses! It is very handy to automatically downsize an image to MMS size when you are sending it to a person who you know will be looking at the email on their phone (e.g. my friend in Japan doesn't have MMS at all, over there nearly everything is email).
Been wondering about this too, i know the contact app you can customize what to show, which is fine, but the sms app show everyone you have been in contact with on google. Only "fix" i've found so far is to use another SMS app that can filter the contact list.
The solution is very simple. Just open display options in contacts and select only display contacts with numbers. Also untick everything that you don't want it to display. I don't save any numbers in phone or sim card so I save it to gmail account.
Even if I select only gmail it shows lots unnecessary contacts. So I went to gmail on my laptop and opened the contacts (phone book or something like that. Its been over a year so I don't remember)
I created a new category (u can choose an existing one) and transferred every single contact that I needed under it.
And thats it. Everytime I format my phone I just go to contact display settings on my phone and only choose the category that I made. And it only shows the contacts that I need.
It works also if u want to save a contact. I chose to save contacts to my gmail account when it asks. And everytime u save it saves it to the category that u choose.
I have been using this over a year and work flawlessly. I remember beig sick of choosing amongst 1000s of contacts.
I tried to explain as I could. If there is a problem ask me I will try to help.
Edit:
I realized this doesn't answer ur question about sms. This doesn't fix that SMS list behaviour.
Hi, I have a weird issue with one of my contacts. An old number they no longer use just won't delete! I Tried to delete the contact altogehter, and add it again, even tried to change the name by adding something extra to it, but whenever I try to text the person, the previous number shows up, THEN the current number (and not just the name of the contact like it should. Something to keep in mind is that the old number does not show up in the actual contacgts directory, ONLY whenever I text them, and it doesn't show their name, which is really REALLY annoying!!! Can anyone help? I tried uninstalling/reinstalling using Titanium Backup, even the data wipe of the messaging app, didn't work! Still doing the same thing, seems like the app won't disassociate the past number from the current, and the weird thing is that I had deleted that number from the contacts long before, when I was still on 2.1 (stock). Now that I have updated to the stock 2.3.3, it brought that number back! Please help, this really sucks and I don't know what to do, don't want to do a repair install, so much work :-( Another issue I found is that the messaging won't sound the notification I set, it does blink the LED light, but won't vibrate or sound the notification I set up for it... What should I do??? Thanks in advance...
sorry just tried merging the posts to my first post, but can't delete this one.
Same as the upper post, sorry again...
I had a similar problem. You can edit your contacts at the actual gmail website from your internet browser. Also remember when adding contacts from phone, click save to gmail and sync contacts every now and then if auto-sync is disabled.
Really? Where do I edit my contacts??? When I check my contacts in Gmail, it only shows me the email contacts I have, no actual phone numbers

At the top right there should be a contacts option, look a bit lower and there should be more options pertaining to it.
I did check that, explored all the options within, and none of my phone contacts show up! Only my email contacts!!! Any other way to handle this??? The sound part seems to have resolved (sometimes it does ring my notification tone), but the messaging app still shows the number I deleted months ago, no idea why it won't disassociate the number. In my contacts list, that number doesn't show. But in messaging, when I try to send that person a meggae, instead of showing the NAME of the person I am sending it to (like it should), it shows the old number and then the new number!!! Any ideas???

It is somehow either associated with your google account or your at&t account, does you at&t plan have an online back up by chance?
I'm actually with Rogers, and have never used their online backup (nor have I checked to see if they provide any). But something rather weird happened, I deleted the messages, asked my friend to send me a text, and when they did, their name showed up like it is supposed to! I hope it is resolved now, thank you all for trying to help
Will update if the problem persists.
