texting after update

Same thing happened to me right after the update. I meant to send a couple messages to a friend and they both ended up going to my father. I know I was in the right conversation thread when I sent them because I have a pic for my friends contact number. My dad's is the default picture. When I opened up the messaging app again, my dad's thread was on top. Luckily it wasn't anything bad, but this is a HUGE issue. Verizon messes it up again.

When this happened I hadn't rebooted. Now I have and deleted all my messages. Will be very cautions for a while now about who I am texting, and what I am texting.

I went to VZW today because my phone keeps going dead even when its on charger, its done this several times over past few weeks. So while I was there I also asked bout this text problem and of course the answer to it all was to do a factory reset. Needless to say as soon as I sent a text out...you guessed it, it still went to wrong person. Fingers crossed the phone will at least take a charge...but I highly doubt that too.

This happened to me twice. Made sure I was in the right thread - sending to the right person... and when I hit send, it went to someone else.

I see in the other notes listed, that the next update addresses text issues to other contacts, so hopefully that clears up some of them. Thankfully, I haven't had to explain anything to anyone yet from my end, wink wink nudge nudge..

After the update it was fine for a while. Now, it does it once in a while. Pisses me off. I love my T-bolt, but I'm about ready to dump all my cell phones. Been fighting this crap since i got my DInc. Sorry, but we really shouldn't have to be putting up with this. How hard is it to develop software in a office environment?

This is a really bad problem since the update. It happened to me too many times, and personal texts to my girlfriend were being sent to other people like co workers and family. Because of the frustration, i immediately downloaded handcent....works perfectly. I'd use handcent until the fix for the stock message app comes out.
