Help Cannot send SMS (text message) to specific Contact

[maierp]

Hi,
This is really strange:
I'm not able to send a SMS to one specific Contact/Phone number.
Whenever I try that, I see in the debug log an NullPointerException
When I replace the number by another, it works. But as soon as I again put in that specific cell phone number, it does not work anymore.
I already deleted the contact and rebooted the phone and typed the phone number by hand, but that also didn't work.

Here is the log output of the phone:

It's one of the random quirks of the 2.3.3 upgrade.

At present, the only solution appears to be installing something like Go SMS or Handcent.

Thank you for your reply.

Is there a way to debug this issue?
Or help the developers in finding the problem?

I've eclipse and the sdk.

You could try submitting to HTC, but I expect they'd just blame google. Worth a shot though.
