    I'd be interested to hear from other A835 users about an annoying text
    issue: in the inbox for texting (not the email inbox) the default setting is
    for messages to be listed under 'sender'. That is how I like it.

    I assume this works in the same way as on my old Nokia ie. if a person is in
    my phone address book their name will be displayed if they send me a text.
    The text will then be listed by sender's name in the inbox.

    However, this doesn't seem to work on my A835 - I just get the first few
    words of the text message listed in the inbox, even though when I read the
    message it knows full well who it's from as it says at the bottom of the
    message.

    Today I returned the phone and got a new one (I was still under the 28 day
    warranty). I've just set it up and asked a couple of people who are in my
    address book to text me - the same thing happens! It just will not list text
    messages by sender in the inbox.

    Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? I find it
    inconceivable that two phones in a row would have the same glitch.

    I've treble checked and the inbox is definitely set to 'sender' and not
    'subject'.

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: A835 text message inbox

    Hi
    I have the same problem, It absolutely refuses to show the sender!!!, NO one posted a reply did you get one from anywhere else?
    I also have another prob, which is that it seems to copy the last sms 7 times in the inbox

    Look forward to hearing from you

    hi Radiohead
    I have had very long conversation with 3 to whom Motorola say are responsible for this!!
    The supervisor i spoke to said he had not heard of this problem before and that I should send my handset in for repair!!!!
    I asked him to get someone to look at a live handset to see if they repeated the 'fault' watch this space if i get a better answer i will post it
