So....the number in parenthesis? What's it mean? I thought it meant new messages, but the number doesn't equal the number of new messages in the thread. And how do i get rid of it? Hope this is the right spot.

This is my first HTC phone so excuse my ignorance. I have a page size people widget on my phone I use as speed dial. It's an HTC widget filled with pictures of my favorite contacts and I can quickly call or text someone. But at times a blue number appears on one of the pictures/contacts. I don't know what it means or how I can access any information from it. Any idea?
Facebook updates.

The blue number represents a missed call, txt, or an update from a social network.

Hmmmm, thanks for the responses but it doesn't make sense. My wife's picture has a number 7 by it. She had not texted me, has no missed calls, and does not have a facebook account. I do not sync with facebook anyways. How do I clear it or access it? Any idea?

I assume you have tried rebooting?

It also includes calendar events. I had a contact with a birthday coming up, and it showed a "1" by their name. I do not have Facebook linked to my contacts.
So I figured it out. It appears that anything related to that person is connected to that number. In my wife's case, there were emails from her that I had erased but not opened. Somehow they still show up. As soon as I opened one, the number reduced by one. Silly if you asked me. You can access it by pressing the number and then on the lower edge of the opened menu you can change tabs to see what is new. Whole lotta blah.... Gimme aosp any day over this sense crap.

I have handscent installed to handle group text but its annoying. The text comes in as an mms from the original sender, I then hit download and it backs it out into a group thread. If this were the only time it did it I would be fine but EVERY response does this. So if five people respond then I get 5 separate mms text that back into the group thread every time.
Is there a better app or workaround for this? I know most my buddies have iPhones but this is also the case with Android phones so I don't think its iMessage specific.

Any suggestion as to a better place to ask this maybe?

I sent a text, and it never showed as sent in the thread. The recipient did receive the text, but the thread would not update sent or received after that. I closed out of messages, and re-opened it, but that thread will not load now. I have it set so that old messages do not get deleted, and that thread is at 997k. Is there a size limit that the EVO can load?
I have done an SMS backup, deleted and reloaded all messages, but that thread will still not load.
Also, is there any way to view the messages from the .hbk file, on a pc?
TIA!
Had that same problem a while back, had to just delete all my texts. I don't know what the limit, but I had upwards of 10,000 texts and nothing no thread would load until cleared.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
open your message app go to settings/mms settings and you can make changes there and also settings/general/storage settings you can set a limit there
Alright since I got this phone I've had an issue with my phone not being able to find my girlfriend and my cousins number when I go to text them. It'll show her email but no number so I have to hit find in contacts etc etc.. Also for whatever reason sometimes the text thread with my girlfriend will disappear but if I go to start a new text with her all of the old messages will be there... Wtf??

Check your contacts and make sure her number is saved as mobile.

how to hide caller number from screen
I too want to hide caller number from my screen, if I save the phone number 123456789 in the name "softheart", when she calls, her name as well as number apper in my android screen. I want to see her name only. I want to hide her number if any other member in my home watches my phone screen. how is it possible?? pls help, thanks in advance. ( other phones displays only caller name, but android shows number and name).
Any solution?
Does any one got a solution? even for a rooted ROM?
I've been looking for this for a long time too pal. Not for the exact same reason though, I just don't want the people around me to know the number of the person who's calling me or the person that I call. It's not good for business. But we both want the same thing. To hide the freaking number when the contact is already saved.
I hope some developer finds a way to make this mode
Me too want to hide number ..........
