Code drops off for messaging - Samsung Epic 4G
Here is the fix. I have tested it and it works.
First the issue is you once texted someone with a 7 digit number. Most likely becuase you stored them in your contacts that way. Even if you update the contact info it will always drop the area code from all future messages to that person. Everyone that was stored correctly will message correctly. Deleting the contact and reinstalling them will not work. Importing the contact again will not work. Deleting the message thread and starting a new thread will not work.
Here is what you need to do.
Clear data in the Dialer and Dialer storage.... under manage Applications> All.
That is Settings - Applications - Choose All to view All choices - then find Dialer and clear the Data. Repeat this for the Dialer Storage as well.
I personally also deleted the message thread first from the text message window and my log history which is a menu item from your call screen.
This process will not delete all your contacts.
The only other fix to this problem is to reset back to factory defaults. I don't suggest this at all.
Good to go afterwards!...
