okay well this has been happening to me quite a bit. im rooted but this happened to me even while i was unrooted. id tap on a contact's name in my inbox but it brings up someone else's conversation (like i click on my girlfriend's convo and for some reason, my mom's convo whos like 5 rows down appears) and sometimes i rush to send a text (since i read the message from the notification bar) that i dont look to see if its the right person (had to explain a very embarrassing text message that was meant for my girlfriend but actually was sent to my father ) now i started using a 3rd party messaging app instead of HTC's messaging app. well recently this started happening again and its very annoying. does anyone know what the cause of this is???
It's a known problem with android 2.2.
oh thanks for the response. i didnt get to play around much with 2.2 when it was first leaked on the N1 before i switched to an iphone 4. ah guess i cant rush to text someone back anymore h
It got fixed with Gingerbread, and Froyo 2.2.2, unfortunately we have 2.2.1

I have looked around as much as I can in the million 2.1 X10 posts, but I still can't find anyone else who is having this issue, sorry if it has been answered already, but I tried...
I updated my Wife's X10 to 2.1 the other day, and everything is working much better than 1.6, the only slight annoyance she has noticed, is that when she receives a voicemail (She is on Rogers Wireless in Canada) she gets the standard voicemail notification, plus a text from "Voicemail" and then another text from "_(at)" saying there is a new voicemail.
Having 2.1 has enough fixes for her that this isn't that big of a deal, but it is kind of annoying, so we would like to fix it if we can.
I saw a post that says that Handcent doesn't understand 2.1's voicemail indicator, but I don't believe that, (or it's an old post) because I had 2.1 on my Nexus one for a while with Handcent (now 2.2.1 CM 6.1.0 RC1) and I have never had this issue.
Anyone know how to stop the several notifications, and make it just so we have the standard voicemail notification?

Sorry to ask again... But no one knows how to fix this?
I have the exact same problem. I've been unable to determine what is creating all the notifications.
It is only since going to 2.1.
Anyone?
Really? No one else has this problem?
It is Rogers doing it (had the same issue on my Nokia E71). I just live with it but it might be possible to change this from the account manager on their web site?
it might be a problem with the phone. i've had this happen to my fido phone.
Ok first of all, hi ! Yes im the latest annoying newbie but I will try to keep my annoying questions to as few posts as possible.
Ok so the Galaxy S 2. My dear god I love this phone but sweet Jesus its driving me crazy ! It seems that to use a smartphone today you need to be a member of forums such as these or a degree in techstuffthatjustsoundslikenonsensetome.
For the life of me I cant believe modern smartphones do not come with a manual. I remember my old nokias of a decade ago came with small books to guide you through what was basically calling and texting ! These days...nothing and the manual from Samsung is hardly any better than the 'leaflet' that comes in the box. Anyway rant over but after exploring for days and searching on tinternet for answers I still cant solve a few issues I have with this phone so please any help would be a god send.
1. Vibration level. Is it me or is it crap ? My old 3g ( goodbye forever Apple ) could practically take me across a linoleum floor if i sat down but i just dont feel it when its in my pocket. I have it up to max but have missed every call so far !
2. Sms notifications. I have installed Go sms pro which is a great little app and i prefer it over the stock sms. However i cant stop getting sms through from the stock app as well as go sms pro ! I have uncked all available boxes in settings for the stock one but still getting them through, its driving me nuts. How can i receive texts only through go sms pro ?
3. Contact photos. Just cant sync them with facebook at all. when i try all i get is two each of the same people in my contact list, one for fb and other with phone details etc. All i want is a bleeding picture next to my contacts Am I missing something very simple or is this a good example of companies alienating the average consumer with 'harder than it needs to be' technology ?
And lastly
4. Web page autofit. So if I double tap on text it should autofit right? Well all it does is zoom in. I have tried all different settings, double tapping at different speeds etc and it works about a third of the time so I just dont know what im doing differently those times ! Do you have to tap on a specific part of the screen to auto fit or what ?
Anyway I hope your not all lighting your torches by now, I have looked for the answers ( and looked, and looked ) but to no avail and tried the suggestions from similiar questions on here but alas my love / hate relationship with this phone continues.
For many of your questions, a good old fashioned search would have turned up quite a few answers.
Just saying.
But....
This seemed to deal with your fb questions.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088385&highlight=facebook+contacts
As for question four, have a search for 'text reflow'.

Thank you for your reply. With respect, as mentioned in my op I have searched for the issues raised and read the thread you linked to however my problems persist.
Does anyone else see the vibration level as an issue ? It does seem very low to me.
Yes, the vibration issue is a big problem for me too. I'm coming from an iPhone 3GS and before that I used a Nokia E71. Both of those phones' vibration would wipe the floor with SGS 2.
When I first got it, I kept searching in the menu for a setting, but there was only one for haptic feedback strength, not notification vibration.
I'm just hoping a future firmware update will fix this or a code will be revealed where we can set vibration strength.

i think this is a bug with the SGS2.

wait so text reflow DOES work for you sometimes when you pinch to zoom, then double tap that text and it fits the screen? cause most are saying it's not working on the SGS2. but i tested the samsung infuse last night, and it does in fact work like normal. so is everyone here not performing it correctly?
what i did on infuse, load a webpage, it loads zoomed out. i pinch to zoom to a desired level, then release. text goes off the screen edge. then double tap the text i zoomed to, and it re-formats to fit the screen.
we assumed this does not work on teh SGS2.
Feeling your pain, dare I say starting to think I wish I bought a htc sensation.
Come on, the facebook issue is a joke. I dont want multiple contacts of the same contact, ok ive merged them now, and hidden other fb contacts. That is until I want to send a txt, whoa they are all there again.
Sign out of fb, merged contacts disappear.
I just took this stuff for granted on my aging htc topaz.
Can't get any 3rd party launcher to display photo wallpaper properly.
Reader hub, sns etc, what a load of...
Page rendering/text reflow, taken for granted.
Hotmail, can't sync junk folder unless using exchange, which only downloads first part of email, click to load more.
Could go on.

Thank s for the replies, at least im not being a noob when it comes to these issues. its actually a relief ti know its software bugs and not me !
As for the double tap method i can confirm it DOES sometimes work to autofit the text. that is why i was getting frustrated when most times it does not work. i thought i was tapping a different part of the screen or some thing. i double tap in and out about six or seven times and then it will suddenly autofit.
im really hoping they sort the message notification bug out. as for Facebook i spent an hour earlier saving pics from fb, tra nsferring them ti my ohone and then adding my contacts pics one by one. pain in the arse but its done now.
typing this on my s2 has reminded me of another annoyance. the bloody full stop being so close to the space key i always have about 6 full stops in every sentence.

Better keyboard. Just get it. Or multi-lingual keyboard. Either will solve that problem
not sure why someone mentioned the "double SMS notifications" is a bug because it clearly IS NOT
you just have to go into the STOCK MESSAGING app, go to settings and UNCHECK "Notifications" (its at the very bottom of the settings)
I have Go SMS pro installed as well and only get ONE notification from SMS pro when i get a SMS - none from the stock messaging.
If the notification box is checked in the STOCK messaging app then you will get a notifcation from both the stock app and goSMSpro
I think it was very difficult to fit a bigger vibration motor in a smart-phone so thin like SGS2.
I guess we will have to live with it as is.

I can assure you that setting is unchecked. It was the first thing i did. I'm not the only one with this bug
This doesn't happen all the time but when I send an sms to a friend who I have sent plenty of messages to (more than usual friends) there is a lag in the animation when I send it. I have tried limiting the number of messages per thread and that did not help. It also doesn't seem to matter if there are a lot of apps open. It is very annoying and hopefully can be fixed. I am on the stock 2.3.5 firmware (KI3) but this has been happening since I got the phone. Any suggestions?
No one else has this problem?
I did when I first bought the phone, however after updating to 2.3.5 it dissapeared. I stopped usng it anyways, prefer handcent
i noticed that in 2.3.4 which i updated yesterday.....i tried to delete the conversation with lots of sms and it was smooth again, it wasn't doing so in 2.3.3. they fix one thing and another goes off, classic!!
gabrio
I fixed it actually by taking off split view. So far so good.
Has anyone had this issue?
I've Handcent and emjoi have worked for 2 years. Last 3 weeks, I just get this: ?=?
I tried GO SMS as well as ChompSMS and it's the same.
They can receive MINES but I cannot see theres.
Just seeing if it's an HTC thing (Rezound - Stock 2.3.4), Verizon thing or an Android thing.
Thanks in advance
same here, been working fine up until a couple weeks back. its really hit or miss as sometimes it goes through, other times, it receives the text in gaps L I K E T H I S. Reading the reviews on all the 3rd party messaging apps, it seems like everyone is having this problem
I saw that as well. But some recent reviews reporting it's still "functioning properly."
But now even if I have GO SMS, others I know w/ GO SMS can't recieve them either.
Sure hope Apple didn't "Patent" this and now blocking Android from exchanging them...
Hi I normally only use my smartphone for Facebook and whatsapp and first I was cool with that, but since I got in a whatsapp group that statusbar is annoying me as hell.
Whenever I get multiple messages on whatsapp it is always showing ''2 messages from 2 persons'' (or more) and I hate to just be on whatsapp to see who has been texting me. If its someone important I will open whatsapp to see but since whatsapp groups only talks about **** I just want to click it away.
Also something I hate but never really caught my eye before was that whenever I click away something in the statusbar it always pops back (why the **** is that?) later the day. I didn't clicked it away for nothing and my android phone really starts to piss me off (I run 2.3.5 on samsung galaxy S+ ) .
So what do you guys think is the best solution for me? Buy a new phone (heard apple shows who's been texting you on whatsapp on statusbar) , is there an hidden option in settings I didn't know off? Hack my phone or something else? I really hate being always online on my phone anyways, got better things to do.
Thanks in regards,
Dafoq
