I am really starting to hate my iPhone

I've never slid a slider on a text and had it open another one. Besides, I always, ALWAYS look at who I'm texting.

Always.

I also delete most text conversations so this type of thing doesn't happen easily. I don't rely on SMS for conversations that require archiving... that's what email is for.

On iOS5, never use the bottom slider to unlock the phone. Slide the icon of the text message over to view the text.

Problem solved.

Surprised so many people dont know you can slide the icons on iOS5 notifications.

P.S. also if you dont unlock the phone when the text originally comes it, unlocking via bottom slider will return you to last known location. So if you had your client or whoevers text message open when the phone went to sleep, thats where youll be when you unlock the phone. When the text originally comes in, at the bottom it'll say slide to view. If you dont do so in that window of time, it changes back to slide to unlock. Use sliding icons and no problem.

Yep. This is more than likely what happened to OP. Unless you are immediately replying to a text that has just come in it will revert back to the last thing you were doing when you locked it. User error, no bug.

Android also started World War 2, drowned 100000 cute kittens, and was responsible for 9/11 :rolleyes:

Never had this issue on Android.

My iPhone might have made for the embarrassment of my life. My girlfriend texted me a heart, so I sent her one back...so I thought.

I slid the slider, and it went to a text message of MY ****ING CLIENT. Why the **** would Apple make it jump to another totally unrelated message, when I slid the slider with the text from my girlfriend? It went to the client. And IIRC, It has been something that has remained unfixed since iOS 1! When I slide the slider, and the text was from my girlfriend, it should GO TO THE GIRLFRIEND'S TEXT, not to someone else who I was also talking to the same day.

I am VERY pissed off at the situation. :mad:

This is not what I expect out of Apple at all.

So it's apple's fault you can't read which person you're sending a text to? I understand what you're saying but really? It's apple's fault?
 
Seem that if I close out of messaging and have it in the background it doesn't do this. So I goto to the home screen when I'm done texting.

I have done this once before but it wasn't an issue.

Exactly this. Step back and think for a second. Based on everything you do on the phone and the people you talk to, iOS probably knows you better than anyone.

I think this anger is just a cover-up, the iPhone did what you were too cowardly to do on your own - admit the feelings you have for that older male. I understand that it may be hard considering you have a business relationship with this person, but taking the first step is the hardest part, you should be glad that your iPhone helped you with it. Even if it was just a simple heart, I'm sure things will be different now and you'll be better off.

Eventually you won't even have to dress up to be with this person, he'll accept you for who you really are!!!
 
Ha i remember this happening to me right after i got my first iPhone (3Gs). I was living with my cousin and his girlfriend for the summer for an internship and i regularly texted him and his girlfriend and my girlfriend (now my fiance)

Well i had been texting my girlfriend most of the day and my cousin's girlfriend just asked me about if we had something at home, something about food so i answered.

Then about 30 minutes passes by i hadn't touched my phone. so i pick it up and i start just doing my lovey dovey texting to my girlfriend and open the phone and write out "i miss you babe, this day sucks, cant wait to see you when i get home" and hit send instantly

and yup, i sent that to my cousin's girlfriend!

I've gotten into much better habits now, especially with iOS 5 having the sliding icons
 
This is a common problem for all iPhones. All mechanical buttons, home button, power switch, mute button; have this problem. Spent $30 in local repair, they can fix it for you.
 
The OP didn't give enough information in his post.

Did he use slide to unlock while the text notification was flashing? If it was it should go to the text that is flashing (the icon pulses)...

If it wasn't it will just unlock to the last place you were at when the phone locked.

I suspect user error.

If I had a phone with clients and personal on it, i'd DOUBLE check my message is going to the right person.

Didn't know this. Now I do. I now will never make this mistake. I love learning new things every day.
 
I can't figure out if OP is saying he slid the text message notification slider, or the phone unlock slider. If he slid the notification slider for a text from person A and it took him to his conversation with person B, it's a bug and definitely not normal.

If he slid the normal unlock slider, and he last locked his iPhone with iMessage open, it will put him in iMessage right where he was before locking the phone - person A, person C, whatever. Doing anything else would be confusing - if I leave iMessage in a conversation with person A, lock my phone, then a few minutes later go to text person A again, I don't expect to be whisked off to person D just because they sent me a text in the meantime.

He didn't use the "slide the text" trick that was mentioned halfway down p.1. He did the "slide to unlock" and the last thing he had up was the text message to the client. He put the pic of the heart on that.

Using the "slide the text message" trick would have avoided the situation. Hopefully the OP can chime in and assure us that he will use this functionality moving forward (I'm sure I will) and that he is not in love with his 62-year-old client. (reminds me of that one Adam sandler skit... "memory lane" (youtube it)).
 
I've never had this happen to me before. But wouldn't this be solved if you checked to see who you texted before you hit send?

my wife has mentioned having this problem from time to time as well and I couldn't figure out why it was happening. this clears it up for me. I have never had this issue (pre iOS 5 as well) and it is because I always click out of what ever app I am in (home button) before I lock it. it is just a habit with me, but it makes interacting with the various apps more deliberate so mistakes like this are avoided.

No. But the Android SMS random-wrong-recipient bug is in fact, real.

Surely you mean was real? It was fixed in January last year with the release of Android 2.2.2 & 2.3.2.
