Can't find contacts in SMS hides certain convos? - AT&T LG Optimus G

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.

Solved. They were set as iPhone instead of mobile.. Its weird it would do that though

What is the blue number on People widget?

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.

Pics in text msg. Come in as video. Can this be changed so it's a pic?

When I get a text with a picture, it plays as a video. Can someone help with this. Not sure how to make it just a pic. Thanks
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2
Same happens to me. I have been able to save the picture sometimes.
But I would love to know how i can change this so i receive it as a picture.
Yeah. It's driving me nuts. Not sure how to fix this. I even tried other apn settings but no difference.

I dont think its the APN settings because I it happened on my GS2 as well.
Very unusual, maybe its the way Samsung's messaging application shows mms?
Is there anyone who doesnt have this issue?
I havnt re-checked after reading this (I'm lazy) but i was pretty sure it IS a picture but viewed as a slide show for a few seconds, and therefore has a timed progress bar like a video...
My old non-smart phones were the same...

U have to wait for further update from Samsung. Maybe they change that in jellybean. Otherwise you can use Go sms app. Download it from Play store for free.

Best way to move between emails?

Is there no way to open an email message (stock mail client) and then swipe to the next message, and/or swipe back? I'm having to open each message, read the message, hit the back button, select the next message, rinse, repeat. Please tell me I'm missing something obvious?
Yep. That's they way it works.
Hmm. After much deliberation, I've concluded that blows goats. I'm a bit disgruntled about the current inability to root this device and correct this, and other oversights. Bah!

I've recently found k9email...way better than the stock client.
Agreed. I've been using k9 for a couple of years, and like it better than the stock app on Dinc4g. Easy to set up, multiple accts, leave some on the server in folders, some not. It just works.

It's been a while since I've looked at K9. Perhaps it's time to take another look. Thanks all.

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 ..........

Contacts

Why do some of my contacts show up when I'm typing the names in via text to message them show as fake email address? I've sorted my contacts I don't how many times and everything is legit and correct
No misspelled names,wrong numbers anything like that? I'm on stock Rom that's not corrupt. ..my contacts are linked with my facebook but I've unlinked them in the past and no change?
It's very annoying trying to text "mom" and it comes up as an email I've never seen or heard of before
Or I try to add multiple contacts to a mass text and the entire message never sends
