I don't see how it would make a difference really, I mean even if I trimmed the contacts who I have a few numbers for into the one entry, I'd still have over 2,000 contacts anyway.
Had just deleted a message from someone and got a new message off someone else, when I opened up the new message, the title of the thread was the other person
cormie,
It seems you are not alone! I have/had a similar problem on a Desire on CM7. In my case I sometimes have 2 threads showing for the same contact and hitting reply in one thread and the reply shows up in another thread. After some investigation I believe the issue is related to the SMS DB on the phone. I think it stores a contact id for each new number you receive an SMS from. That works fine until you get/send and SMS with/without the country code. This seems to throw the DB off and it thinks its a new contact.
It could also be related to the fact that I imported a lot of old SMS to the phone originally, and maybe multiple contact ids for the same person were created. I also use cabbage text app sometimes, which possibly does not help matters either.
Seeing as you appear to delete all your SMS's as you reply to them, it might be worth swapping your SMS DB on the phone for a 'new'/empty SMS DB, or if you are a bit more confident, actually checking the SMS DB contact ids and cleaning it up a bit.
As my problem tends to just be multiple threads for the same contact, I tend to put up with it, but you might be motivated to repair your problem as its actually sending SMS to different people!0 -

my contract is up in May and I am looking at both the HTC One X and the SGS 3 as a replacement
there is a comparison chart here, do you know if it is accurate at this stage or is a case of wait till they both come out?

Phone development has come to a point where I just don't see the need to update my phone anymore.
I've a Galaxy SII and with the ICS upgrade it is simply the perfect phone. It does everything I want it to, and does it well. It's fast and responsive. The screen is beautiful. It's slim and light. And I get a full days use out of it (all I need). I honestly can't see a reason to upgrade, even to the Galaxy SIII. Quad-core smartphones? The dual-core ones are lightning fast so I can't see why anyone would see the need for them.
As a tech head I would normally always buy the flagship highend phone every year or so. But now? My SGS2 does everything and I love it, so I honestly see no need. I can only see myself upgrading if I get bored of it and want a change. I'll see what Apple come up with for iPhone 5 but beyond that, I'm a happy camper

Hold on, The Galaxy S2 isn't a last gen phone yet, before your contract is up you'll be itching to change, mark my words. I've a Galaxy S and am nearing the end of my 18month contract and getting twitchy. I'm gonna wait on the S3.0 -

What's the story with ICS on the original desire? Is it compatible and is the desire capable of running it ok?
Apparently Qualcomm have open sourced their kernel software, or something like that, recently. I'm not sure but I think the Desire is a Qualcomm based phone, which will mean the modding community will be able to enable pproper hardware acceleration, meaning a decent version of ICS might become available sooner rather than later.Tea Saver, thanks for the post, how would I go about deleting the SMS db? I don't want to flash a new rom if I'm still going to have the problem. The annoying thing I haven't seen anyone report the EXACT same problems as I have with the texting so anyone that says they have no problems after flashing to X, may have fixed any issues they had, but may not fix the issue I'm having
Best I can say is a friend of mine had the same problem on his HTC Wildfire. He wasnt one for modding so just replaced hos phone. :P0 -

indeed, and not because of any advancement in technology but simply because its next to impossible to actually know whats available. HTC and Samsung have so many models with similar sounding names that only someone in the industry can keep track of the variety.evolutionqy7 wrote: »Its never a good time to buy an Android phone.

If the pair of them calmed the jets and released less phones with less bugs (and guaranteed updates for them in a reasonable timeframe) the android proposition would be much more attractive.0 -
I don't think that's right in the case of Samsung, looking at the model number clearly tells you its position in the line up. Last years HTC range was bizarre, I'll give you that! The new one series makes it easy nowmunchkin_utd wrote: »

They've thankfully now gotten as big as they're going to get. 4.7-4.8in is really pushing it.
I think there's space in the market for high end 3.7-4in handsets. Unfortunately manufacturers seem to have decided that phones of this size belong in the low-mid range category.
I've been out of contract on my original SGS for 6mths now & am only now feeling the need to upgrade. I'm going to wait until the SGS 3 is unveiled to make my decision on what my next handset should be.
yeah. it just surprises me that given the biggest selling phone of all time (the iPhone) is 3.5" they feel the need to go so much bigger. I guess maybe they're trying to compensate for something
but hopefully as time goes on more better-spec'd phones will come out in the 3-4" range, anything more than that is overdoing it for me 0 -
