non numerical numbers are all considered as the same contact

[Paweł Eichler]

Hi,
I have a problem with SMSs from different senders that are not regular phone numbers but strings (e.g. authentication messages ). I created separate contacts for each such a message, but in the end all are displayed separately but with a single contact name. Looks like the displayed name is related to the contact that was created as the last one.
Regards,
Pawel

Still there in r22.

Thank you for your bug report. The description is not really clear, maybe you could add a screenshot showing the issue?
Is there a way to generate messages "not coming from a number" to test?

Here is screenshot from adding sender to contact list. You can see that it goes with a string in place of mobile number (this cannot be done in other way).
The behaviour in r23 is a bit different - only senders that match the contact will have an avatar as the contact. Previously adding even one such a sender to any contact was ending up in assigning same avatar to all alphanumeric senders. Unfortunatelly I still cannot have separate contacts for this kind of SMSs while having many of those (banking, comercials, authorization, ...)
Hope it is more clear now.

confirmed there, my messaging log as "operator" sms-es from several operators, I tried to add a contact for one of them which works but then opening conversations from others look like they are from the same contact, also others can't be added to the contacts since they already "match" one
