SMS issue (part of 1 sms into new sms)

[ritzzz]

Hi guys, sorry if this isn't explained very clearly but it's puzzling me and I can't seem to find any information about others with the same issue. Firstly, some background info.

My Device: Stock Nexus One with 2.2.1
Messaging applications used/had issues with: Handcent/Stock/GoSMS
Issue has occurred with just 1 other user (standard non smart phone - nokia).
Other user has not had reports of this issue with anyone else.

The problem: I have (admittedly only about 5 times in thousands of text messages sent) received a text message which seems fine but at the end of the text, it contains some words from a previous text message that the sender sent me.

Todays example. The sender sent me a text message a couple of months ago that said something like, "xxxxxxxxxxxxx there were heaps left over" which was fine.

Today the sender sent me another text message that had the full content that the sender sent "Hey gmorning, have a great day at work" - this is what shows up in the users sent folder. However, this is what I received on my Nexus "Hey gmorning, have a great day at workthere were heaps left over"

It seems really weird and I can't figure out what it could be. Any help/ideas? Thanks.

It could be a bug in how your carrier (or their carrier) handles long SMS messages.

Or could possibly be a bug in how your phone is receiving them. But if it seems to happen rarely, it seems that the former seems to be the case. Phone bugs tend to be more consistent than that.

Thanks for that. Yea sorry I forgot to mention this is Vodafone New Zealand. Prior to this I used an iPhone for about 18 months and never had this issue occur. No i'm not thinking of going back

its the other persons phone. My friend uses some sort of pay as you go tracphone and whenever he texts me it always does that. However it only does that when he texts me so its just the way his phone handles text.

Not everyone owns a smartphone. I've also noticed that this problem occurs when people text me who have older phones like from 01. I'm from Vermont where I wouldn't be surprised to see some people still using startacs
