Hi there,
A search has only shown one other person with this issue and then there seemed to be no resolution :-(
My XDA-II has stopped receiving text messages. I tested the sim in another phone and txts came through fine.
Also on my XDA I can send txts.
One thing, my smsreceiver.exe is running.
Does anyone have perhaps some things I can check to see why I'm not receiving txts please? I'd rather NOT hard reset.
Thanks in advance
Have you been using Sprite backup.?
Exactly the same thing happend to me AFTER I performed a hard reset and restored all the stuff using Sprite backup. What happened was that when someone sent me an sms, the screen on my mda ii would come on-it means that it definitely received something, but would not make any sound and I wasn't able to find that sms anywhere. I really couldn't resolve this problem so had to perform another hard reset and put all my programs back manually :evil: Very nasty experience, indeed
yeah I've got sprite backup and have done a restore, have just confirmed this over at tekgurus too.
Gah! I hate computers
Been told its a recognised issue and should be fixed.... when tho? dont know.
Thanks for the prompt reply guys, I hope my aptley named subject will lead other lost souls to the answers
If you do a restore without the inbox it may restore your ability to receive sms.
Sprite has a beta version of their software available upon request that fixes this problem.
Yes, there is a beta but many people that have used it have experienced other serious side effects. I think the bottom line at the moment is that there is no completely working version of Sprite Backup for the Xda II until they release the next version.
Right,
Tytn on Orange (UK)
using Oranges latest rom release.
The issue is when i perform a Soft reset the device loses recent SMS messages.
sometimes its just the last recieved message, sometimes its all the messages recieved in the last hour or so.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Maybe you left "message" app. open when you reset the device? If you use some software to reset the phone, the software maybe automaticly close the opened applications before the reset for you. But the pin hole doesn't.So use some software instead of the pin hole,or close the opened app. before you reset the device.Just give the chance of saving data to the applications.
Yes, I remember this isssue a while and back and used to have exactly the same problem. I don't have it anymore since using the WM 6.1 ROM's with the threaded SMS or if I use the Palm threaded SMS app.
Thanks, I'll give those things a try, and i'll see if Orange have got round to releasing WM6 for the hermes, I'd quite like WM6, but also quite like the simplicity of orange's "it just works" releases.
Hello All: I have a Spanish Elfin, works fine, came all the way to Zimbabwe with me. All of a sudden I can't open the SMS app or Messaging. From home screen, if I select SMS app it just does nothing. Same thing if I try to send an SMS from iContacts or if I try to send a text message from my list of phone calls. All just do nothing. I back-up every day with Sprite Backup, but going back a few days does nothing to that problem.
Anybody have a solution for this, please? In Zimbabwe, SMS is the best way of communication, I need this.
Thanks in advance

I can't use default interface for SMS
Its terrible.
If you ready to answer me about this with thread when swith to default mode, you must to know that I've tried this and I lost MMS.
I can't use only SMS without MMS.....
Plz, help. Who sovle this problem, help.....
.
+1 it's to sad. I've had the phone for 3 weeks now, and i'm waiting on HTC to fix this terrible issue (this and the alarm issue..)
i still have to use Nokia N86 as my primary phone, because like you, i want both MMS and SMS. HTC please??
Guys,
If this issue is really of concern to you do the following:
- write to HTC so they know that there is still a problem out there for some users.
- implement this fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584696 (see the last post f you want to solve the MMS issue).
WB
Same here!!
What I am doing now as a workaround is using PowerSMS (http://download.cnet.com/PowerSMS/3000-10440_4-10920088.html).
It allows you to make a full backup (among others) of your SMS (inbox and sent items) and restore them anytime with the option to delete them after backing up.
Regarding the amount of use you can backup SMS you don't need anymore. It's really quick.
I'm doing this once/twice in a week and the sms app is responding. According to the amount of sms you send/receive you can screw it up and down;-)
I receive round about 10 sms each day and send ~10 sms pro day.
But as I said. It's not really a solution but a little apsirin for my headache!
Cheers,
LEE
P.S. beside all these, this powerSMS is a really nice app (e.g schedule SMS ) .
Theoretically you could also use MyPhone to sync up with your online account and then sync back to device if you want to backup and flash a new rom.

I use MyPhone on a daily basis (it automatically backs up everything except my storage card at 4am). It also allows you to archive text messages online, and you can then delete them from your online store and it automatically deletes them from your phone during the next sync. Doing this, I never have problems with my SMS or MMS, as I keep the number of messages down. I've got over 2000 messages archived on MyPhone (accessible via the web interface), and about 100 on my phone at the moment. Once there's a 100% fix in place, I can restore the archive and they will get put back on my phone automatically.
If any of you are having problems, have you done what wacky.banana suggested? That thread seems to have resolved the issue for the majority of people. Okay it's not ideal, but until HTC fix this then we have to make do with what we have.
I dont understand why you told about Backup SMS? I have not problem with backup.... I have problem with SMS messaging.
As i wrote above, I can't get normal communication by the SMS.

Henry_Lee,
What JohnCMolyneaux is trying to tell you is that your problem is probably being caused by the HTC SMS application not being able to cope with too many texts on your phone. Its a well known problem and produces the symptoms you have (search for SMS problem on XDA and you will find lots of threads on this).
What he was trying to say was that if you backup your texts online then delete all of them off the phone but the bare essentials then you stand a better chance of getting the HTC SMS app to work.
An even better solution is the one I set out above.
There's no more on offer here I'm afraid. It's either one of the 2 solutions above or you live with it.

I have only 10-20 SMS on my phone and get problem even with 1-5 SMS.
I already wrote to HTC support service but I think someone solve problem....
I never had any problem .. I know it's not being helpful, but just so you know.
now that hspl & sspl is out with several cooked ROMs, is there any ROM that solves this issue? or will there be any ? becuz this is the only issue anoying me right now, and i kind of don't see why to flash ROMs only becuz of their skin :S
I have two major issues with this phone, 1. some sms messages doesen't get sent, they're stuck in the outbox. 2. the alarm clock isn't reliable at all.
Sendt an e-mail to HTC and got this answer: (i did include in the e-mail the fact that i have installed the hotfix)
Dear HTC Customer
HTC is aware of this now, and working on a solution. Thank you for your patience

Yes, I waiting for normal ROM. But now i dont see any famouse ROM Developers like BePe, just some young staff....
And nobody say that his ROM is fix the SMS problem. Just "added all last software".... Its not good way for ROM crwation.

Well, this will not easily be solved by a simple rom fix.... It's a fundamental error in the sense 2.5 msging. The alternatives aren't perfect either (there is a sense 2.1 workaround which has some bugs as well as the 'disable sense' option which isn't all that for some).
Afaik custom roms usually are stripped, updated, modified and tweaked and no core fixes which are the resposibility of HTC.
Henry_Lee,
I found a solution for my SMS problem, which was quite similar to yours I think:
- not able to send (new) or answer messages
- not able to see message history
- not able to go to 'more' for more options
First of all I wrote an email to HTC as well, but they didn't seem to understand my problem or care about it. They answered a hotfix
would be available soon, but that was a hotfix to solve the other SMS problem where messages didn't get sent immediately etc..
However, once this was released I downloaded it and installed it onto my HD2, result: wasted my time (as I expected really...).
Because HTC didn't respond to my next messages anymore (therefore I assume they don't really care) I started to try a couple of things
myself:
1. Made a backup using SBP Backup software excluding a backup of the registry in System Data
2. Performed a hard reset
3. Installed ROM upgrade (in my case it was Netherlands 1.48.404.2)
4. Installed SMS Function Update
5. Re-installed most of the files in the backup in ROM Upgrade Mode, apart from System Data (use Customize Restore)
Result: problem(s) solved!
SMS works like a charm again, as it did when I just bought the phone.
Just disappointed in the way the HTC customer service desk works (or doesn't work...). Still, it's not just HTC's CS, Nokia excels in their
stupidity, one of the reasons I got a HTC phone this time. Let's hope I won't have to contact any of them again soon...
Hope this helps!
Brgds,
Paul

How long has the problem been solved? I found this problem after 3 weeks with my device. A hard reset (or equally a ROM flash) would surely cause the equivalent. You may see the problem reappear, as I did after a week, after the 1.48 "upgrade".

The SMS function has been up and running for about 3 weeks now. And like I mentioned earlier I have also upgraded the ROM version, no problems since.
Many messages have been sent and received meanwhile so at the moment I'm confident the problem has been solved properly. If not I will let y'all know!
Brgds,
Paul
I do sympathize with those having SMS issues. Have you all consider possibility is hardware issue as you also notice there are guys in the forum saying they do not have such issues. I am one of them. I have been using the HD2 for 38 days already. On day one I restore about 800 sms into my phone. There was NO lag and the SMS were all displayed within 10+ secs ( one time lag to display ). Subsequent no more such lag as was instant display when I access it
SMS stuck in outbox only one time ( few minutes ) - I discounted it off, as I just reach another country
daily I send/recieve about 20-30 SMS : till today I NEVER encountered SMS stuck in outbox. SMS was also immediately displayed in PEOPLE tab ( found many users complain very slow to load ). I only face this issue few days ago on the cooked rom based on Leo 2.0 build 28*** ; I change back to rom based on build 2188## - no more such issue
Till today I NEVER even bother to install the SMS hotfix - see no need of it

Heard, but I will wait normal SPL and Bepe.
When I had HTC Cruise I tried many ROMs and Miri's too, but only Bepe to cook ROM like my taste.
Looks like HSPL is ready. isnt?
I'm on ROM 1.48.409.1 (71294) NOR (Norwegain)
I'm experiencing two bad issues that really annoy me. IS there a fix (I tried to search but couldn't find these... maybe they are here, in case I apologize).
1) After using my phone for a while (let's say I'm chatting in Palringo or typing SMS), SlideIT will freeze up and I have to reset the device (usually Windows will freeze up at this point, so I will not be able to do anythning but a soft reset using the red button on the back).
I originally thought it was a SlideIT error, but after using the built-in keyboard for a while, it seems to be a general problem, not a SlideIT specific one.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
2) Regarding SMS (I will update to ROM 1.66 tonight, hopefully that will fix it).
I have two problems. ONe being that once in a while, the HD2 will stop sending messages out. They will hang in my outbox for a long time. Clicking them and trying "Resend message" does not work. However, once I reset the device and send another text message (strangely enough, doing a forward doesn't work, either), the once that are in the outbox will also get sent out. This is of course very frustrating.... any fix? Will the 1.66 rom fix this?
I also have a problem sending SMS when the threaded conversation is long. Then I have to click "Menu - Close" before I can activate the input field.
Any help on the above issues are greatly appreciated.
OK, since posting I have resolved my issues.
They boil down to two things: The SMS feature was updated using the new ROM (1.66.xxx) from HTC.
The crashing issues were caused by SlideIT. I don't know if there's an issue with the Norwegian version of the HTC HD2 or if it is a general problem, but I cannot recommend anyone running Norwegian HTC HD2 to use SlideIT at the moment. I have taken it off my system, upgraded my ROM, and have been running perfectly stable for two weeks.
