Help SMS being sent to wrong person....

This has happened twice to me so far, that I know of...I've googled it, and haven't been able to find a reason as to why this happens but I've noticed that the problem dates back as far as last aug/sept...there's no excuse for this to happen ONE time, let alone the fact that it's still doing it several months later.

When it happened to me, I was using the stock messaging app...now I'm trying handcent, but have read that it happens with that too. This is a deal breaker for me, and should be for anyone that has experienced it as well....we all know what becomes available on feb. 3rd at 3am EST, if there's not a fix then I'm afraid I'm gonna have to jump over to the "dark side"..lol

I'm rooted, and the first time it happened I was on GummyJar and now I'm on Fission and it has happened again....

any thoughts?
 
It's a known Android bug. Google has acknowledged it and supposedly provided a fix in 2.3.2. It happened to me once on my original Droid but hasn't since then. If we ever get 2.3 we'll probably get the fixed version.
 
The only problem with sms I had (only once EVER) is that I clicked on a thread and it went to a different one. I always read the messages before just to be safe because this happened 4 or 5 times a day on my eris.
 
So far that Android bug is still not fixed thought it's only affecting some phones, never happened to me though. Even if you check the person your sending the messages to, with the bug, the sent items will read that you sent it to the right person, but in fact you didn't.
 
Thanks, maybe it will get fixed soon...seems like something this simple would have been on the checklist before being released.
 
The problem with engineering is its usually the easiest thing to fix that slips through and ends up screwing the pooch.
 
The thing about it is, they don't know what is causing the bug, so when they release it, they couldn't know of such a thing.
 
This is Bullsh*t! it happens to me all the time. I've even accidentally text my boss things that I shouldn't have.

Ex) Coworker (who we shall call Jane) texts me.. I text her back.. Jane texts me again.. I text her back.. I then text my boss to tell him I'm not coming in.. Jane texts me again and when I text her back it gets sent to my boss!

What are we supposed to do until we get the 2.3 update (which will never happen)?
 
Finally someone who understand how frustrating this really is. I can't have a phone that does this, its gonna end up causing some major trouble..tonight at 2am cst, I will be preordering the iphone. I will keep the x just in case they release and update for it in the near future though.
 
Haven't tried a factory reset yet, but it's been happening ever since the beginning.

I don't use Google Voice for texting, just the stock messaging app; so I'm not sure about that.

I do notice that it only happens randomly when I get a text and unlock the phone using that puzzle icon.
 
I did a factory reset when switching from GummyJar to Fission, did it before and after...now I'm completely back to stock and unrooted so we shall see. From what I've read, it's happening to the X, Incredible, EVO, Droid 2, and some others I can't remember....and it's not exclusive to the stock messaging app, I've read about it happening with 3rd party apps like Handcent too. Apparently just a "bug"...I'm tired of bugs, Google needs to hire an exterminator!!
 
Did this ever get fixed? I have a rooted Incredible, so I don't know if I missed an update or not. But yeah this is really bothering me because it keeps happening.
