- Hello all,
I'm having a pretty weird problem with threaded SMS on my curve 8900 (I updated yesterday to OS 5.0.0.4.11 official).
It seems all my SMS's (coming from multiple contacts) are entering one conversation. I understand that threaded sms is like a BBM conversation, however if I receive an SMS from my bro for example, and then from a friend, they combine into one message item and one conversation! AND, the message received from my friend, will be part of the conversation with my brother with his name on top! This means any SMS message I receive from now on, will be titled with my brothers name, and I will not be able to to tell those texting me anymore.
If i were to delete all my SMS's then this problem is resolved, until again I receive another SMS and it starts over. So the only way to solve this is to ALWAYS have no text messages saved in my inbox which is simply ********.
Please help me if you know anything about this and can resolve my issue. Appreciate any suggestions!
Thank you01-08-10 10:39 AMLike 0 - You need to delete your SMS's off your phone and start fresh with new ones. The problem is with the old messages being brought into your 5.0 OS. connect to desktop manager, click on back and restore, then click on advanced. On the right side scroll down to SMS messages, highlight it and click clear.
Going forward your problem should be resolved01-08-10 10:58 PMLike 0 -
I despise RIM's threaded sms. It simply sucks.01-08-10 11:15 PMLike 0 -
OP, have you deleted all SMS, disabled encryption and rebooted? Those are the steps that I've seen that have help some. If that doesn't work then possibly try downgrading to 4.6 and back up to 5.0.
Good luck!

Come on over and use my 9700 for a day and sort through all the unrelated stock and news alerts ganged together for no reason and then delete the messages and the chat folders over and over and over. Perhaps when you do that for a couple of days, you'll start to have some empathy with those of us who hate this threaded sms nonsense.01-08-10 11:47 PMLike 0 - The OP isn't just despising threaded SMS, he (she?) Is having a real problem. All of the txts from ANY sender are in one thread... That's not how it meant to work.

Still have the same issue :s!!!01-09-10 01:02 PMLike 0 - RIM doesn't even know how they want this poorly written piece of code to work.

Unlink your contacts. Go to bbm and highlight the contact (I would recommend unlinking all of them) and hit menu. Scroll to unlink contact and select. Hope this helps.

The only way this is going to be resolved is to re-write the OS code and allow an "off feature" for this bad threaded sms code. The problem is that this is probably not going to be done quickly or promptly.
This threaded sms has left such a bad taste in my mouth, that I probably will not buy any future BlackBerry devices. I like my 9700 but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't curse RIM for this terrible threaded sms code. It is really bad and really needs to be re-written.01-10-10 10:34 AMLike 0 - excuse my ignorance .
but are you all talking about what happens with me on my bold 9700 ?
lets say Tony sent me a text message. i get it,
then you send me another, i still get it under the name of Tony !
how would i know its someone else who sent me a text ?? HELP !
another question : how would i downgrade to version 4.7 ?
Thank you,01-16-10 10:23 AMLike 0 - rim has basically screwed up. Sms was never intended to be an im app. A handful of people wanted to turn sms into an im app and rim took this and ran with it and wrote some really bad code. Now the rest of us are suffering as a consequence.

I had the sms issue with my bold (all texts going under one contact, not able to reply without starting a new thread). I found an article on (I think) blackberryos.com that suggested replacing the net_rim_bb_sms_compose.cod file with the one that was included in the 5.0.0.314 build using bbsak. That did the trick for me, but watch out as if you have customized your home screen you may lose all those settings as well as the at&t browser fix (at least I did anyway).02-01-10 04:02 PMLike 0 - Hi All ,
Hope this will help you Guys . . I've tried it and it worked perfectly
The Solution is in Steps 3, 4, 7 and 8 below
you can download the ( .cod ) file from the thread's replies
