Hi, i need a bit of help trouble shooting an issue i have.
My G1 is running the jesusfreke ADP 1.5 image. I normally use chompsms as my default messaging client.
Quite regularly my friends are tellingme that my text messages are coming through garbled. Either all squares, or every other character is an @ symbol.
The outgoing messages appear normal on my phone.
I asked one person to forward my last messed up msg back, and it came through like this:
<Forwarded from +44777123456>
Well he is one! Don't worry about h攠瑨楮歳猠睥慫敲⁴桡渠桩洠ⴠ睥汬攧猠杯琠愠獨潣欠捯浩湧ℊ䤧癥搠敮潵杨⁷楮攠湯眬⁉❭潴⁰楳獥搠扵琠湩捥汹⁴楰獹⸮⸠睥❬氠桡癥⁴潲琠潵琠愠湩杨琠瑯漠潵琠潮⁴桥⁴潷渠慮搠来琠灩獳敤潯渠㨭⤠䩸砊
Although on my phone, the square symbols with numbers in show up as chinese characters.
Very strange! It happens periodically with no trigger that i can find. When it starts doing it, it continues for a couple of msgs at least.
Has anyone heard of this before, or have any ideas what i can do to fix it?
hey i use the sms tab at contacts to write and view sms but i have a few people where i have quite an amount of messages and everytime i want to write a sms i have to wait till all the messages are loaded in the conversation till i can start writing

I also have this problem, the easy way to solve it is to delete all ur messages at the end of the day, but you shouldnt have to!
Anyone have any ideas
I Wrote this before: don't compromise. a device this powerful can definitely handle massive amount of text messages and display them on the fly.
just write about it to HTC support to put more pressure on them for solving this issue.
is it that hard to just show the last 25 massages and archive the older ones? even apple got it right -.-
maybe someone could write a tweak for this reason ? for me it's a major issue

Well thats what windows mobile's sms client does but HTC didnt want to follow suit
In my HTC threaded messaging, the display is not in order such that all SMS sent by me is displayed at the top while messages of my recipient's are displayed below, regardless of the order they are sent, that isn't threaded messaging isn't it. Have any of you faced this problem? And how can i go about solving it? I just purchased my LEO today and it's running on 1.66 by default.
Another problem which have already been mentioned by other threads i faced is the shaking screen problem when trying to select text in htc messages or cropping of images, this is especially annoying as it prevents me from copying and selecting text accurately.
I'd appreciate all the help i can get since i am relatively new to the community. Thanks guys!
Search timestamp fix...has worked for me so far.

Thanks
Hey! Thanks so much for you response. Will install the cab and see how it goes!
Thanks thanks!!
Failing that, assuming all your messages are from a backed up PIM?
1)Backup messages.
2)Disable threaded SMS
3)Delete all messages
4)Close / kill the messaging app
5)Restore messages
6)Enable threaded SMS and wait (maybe a long time depending on how many messages) while it re-threads them for you.
nope, my messages were all 'new' messages meaning they were sent and received on while using the phone after unboxing. i didn't store any backup messages on it. But it's working alright so far, but the screen is pretty annoying as i'm making plenty of typo errors, either i type "too fast" (which is slow in my opinion) and then it somehow register other key presses or not even registering any. I've already installed the cab V3.3 for reduced sensitivity and it doesn't seem to be working?
messaging problem still need help
hey guys, the whole display and layout of my threaded messaging is still screwed. it makes things really inconvenient and i have to do alot of scrolling when i have a considerably large amount of history of texts. i need help and the timestamp cab didn't work. is there a registry fix for this? the reason why my messages are sometimes positioned below my recipient i suspect is the difference in time. i believe it is due to either mine is faster or slower and that determines the position of the messages. isn't it supposed to be all according to my phone's time? i am puzzled and dismayed that a core function of the phone is screwed up.
pls help me with this guys. thanks so much.
I've searched for this but come up with nothing.
This initially occoured with the SMS hotfix, but is now also happening with the ROM upgrade to 1.66.
When I open a message thread from someone and start writing a reply, as the last message in the thread loads it is like i have touched the screen and highlighted one of the individual messages as it turns black. I can still type although none of the text appears until i tap in the text box again, where all of the text i'd been continuing to write appears.
Hello
Same here am on stock rom and it only happened since hot fix ...and another thing this last 3 weeks Ive started having the sms stuck in outbox randomly in untill I reset the phone ...
Never had this problem before or for a month after hot fix ..Had the phone since November
i've noticed this as well. you can continue to type, but the text doesn't show up until you touch the text box.
it seems that it's doing some sort of enumeration/parsing of the sms messages in the conversation as you can see number of messages counting up in the bracket at the top of the screen before it then highlights the last message.
tedious i agree
I get this but also when I insert a symbol it puts it at the biginning of the message regardless of where I was!
So it's not just me then!
I have also noticed the cursor jumping to the beginnning of the message for no apparent reason.
hi,
yes its discused already here somwhere (im to lazy to search for it ). the sms application normmaly reads all messages and then sets the focus to the last msg. so far so good. to serve the users that complaining about the long time the have to wait until the can answer a message, htc made a fix so you can start typing directly. unfortunatly they miss to disable the routine that is setting the focus ;(. i found out that i can continue typing even when im not seeing what is going on on the screen. after i finished typing my line i touch the display to set the focus back to my text. meanwhile i switched to rom 2.02 and have no problems with lost focus anymore.
regards mad
So I guess the new ROM is the answer? Any ideas when a 2.xx ROM will be released by HTC?
Me too
I'm getting this problem since the "upgrade" to 1.66.
However, at least I can send text messages now!
Since 1.66 I've also got the pink tinge in the middle of photographs problem back but the fix published by HTC wont work with 1.66.
Anyone got this solved? When 1.66 were released, a 3rd sms hotfix also were released. Does this fix the highlighing problem, or is this just for people who don't want to upgrade to ROM 1.66, but want to send SMS messages?
I had brought this up before now.
This happens for both 1.66 and also people applying the hotfix, as the hotfix is included in the 1.66 rom.
If we could disable it selecting the last message once it has loaded them all, this wont be a problem anymore.
The problem before was it taking forever to load the text, so they fixed that by loading it in the background (i still dont see why ALL messages from that conversation has to be loaded, would be better if it had pages like it did on my diamond), but this fix has then included the fact it looses focus on your typign when the final message is loaded and selected. As stated you can still type and send, you just cant see it untill you press the text box again.

Hmm... wonder if this is a registry thing.. But a "finished_loading_higlight_last" set to "1" would be to easy, right?
Gonna try this out: trying to locate the "highlight image" on the device. Maby a black .png image is to find on the device somewhere... and search for the filename in the registry... I'm kinda noob at registry etc. but this might be a way to find out if we can disable the highlight of the latest message...
I would guess the black highlight image is embedded in a manila file.
Same problem here with 1.43 and hotfix installed. I guess it's still better than waiting forever for the messages to load...
Mine is also doing this and I'm running Dutty's Leo HG v0.9 WWE.. Quite annoying!
Text input gets really sluggish too, and I find I often enter the wrong characters in a text as a result..?
Seems to happen when I've got 300 messages stored by a contact or No messages stored by a contact, and is a pretty much on/off thing as it can be fine sometimes??
yeah, same problem here on cooked 2.02 rom.
What can we do against that?
HTC fixed the bug that you can start typing immediately, but that seems not to be fixed if you are using Swype as your default keyboard. Still have to wait till all messages are loaded to start swype recognizing my inputs.
Does anyone else experience that problem?
I've experienced this problem too. However, I think the highlighting of the last message behaviour is intended because if you think about it, what you are doing when you touch the text message to enter the 'proper' text messaging app is to select that message - hence it selects it for you.
Now, if you just want to reply without it highlighting the last message mid way through, then select the right 'Menu' softkey and then select 'Reply' from the pop up menu. It'll go straight to the typing bax and shouldn't highlight the last message.
Anyone experiencing problem when writing a SMS message (text message) on stock ROM 2.1?
The thing is, that almost every time I'm writing a message, BACKSPACE-delete button and optical cursor stop working!
So I have to go "back", (you know, the order you give when done tying, just before sending the message...) and "tap" the text window again to get back to the message body, then everything works. And sometimes this happens several times before I'm done with writing and send the message.
Any ideas on what would solve the problem? Atleast notify me, if you're experiencing the same problem, so I'll know it's not just my phone...
PLEASE LET US KNOW WETHER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SOME OTHER ROM WOULD SOLVE. Does this problem continue after flashing the phone with some other ROM than the stock one?
Yeah I have that also, indeed incredible annoying
I haven't found a way to fix it, I just start using an other SMS app like ChompSMS or Handcent SMS. Those don't have that bug.
