stock ROM.
i'm getting texts just fine but randomly it will decide to time stamp them 3 hours earlier, so if i have a bunch of texts i have to scroll through them all until i find the new one that it thinks was sent 3 hours ago. it is pretty annoying. anyone know how to fix this? soft reset didn't do anything.
it's often the networks fault when sms's are delay'd
i would try putting the sim in another phone for testing
same here
since yesterday ive been getting random texts with the timestamp 3 hrs earlier, and i also have to scroll thru to find it. my computer did something to the phone yesterday and basically deleted anything synced and then resynced. its been doing this ever since.
weird that we would get this same problem at the same time.
this is really annoying
Not to beat the horse but i've been having the same problem since this morning. Everything was fine all day and night yesterday. I've received about 8 texts or so since 8am EST this morning (it's now 2:20pm EST) and about 3 of the texts have had the problem. Pretty annoying. Assuming it's the network like someone previously suggested.
the person said the network was delivering them late. that has happened before too, but these are being delivered on time, but the time stamp is 3 hours before the text was sent. since 3 of us had the same problem starting yesterday or around then, it must have something to do with the network, even though the messages are being delivered on time, it is just the time stamp that is wrong.
weird.
yeah i thought it was something wrong with my particular phone but now since all three of us are having issues i feel "better".
hopefully t-mobile fixes this soon, its really annoying **crosses fingers**
Yeah, and the wierd thing is that it seems like it's only happening with specific contacts too. Looks like it's happening with only two people out of the 7 people that have texted me today.
yeah it's weird, but only 2 people have texted me today, and only one of them messed up, while both contacts messed up yesterday
this has also been happening to me, what phone service do you guys have, i have tmobile
I just thought my phone took a crap. but with the above posts I guess it was the network. mms are always late but this is a first for sms. tmobile needs serious improvement on their network issues
Maybe the Network Wizard will fix the problem? Just thought I'd throw that in there.
well my network settings are set the way tmobile set them, so i don't think it's anything we can fix on our end. it is them.
Im having the same problem since about yesturday, and my carrier is t-mobile,
so I think it has something to do with them.
Not to beat that already dead horse, but just to reiterate, I too have t-mobile and I have been receiving text exactly 3 hours late. It is very annoying and I am calling t-mobile ATM. Thanks for letting me know it isnt just me.
tell us what they say. last night it was nuts for me. i would get a text with the proper time stamp, and then one 3 hours earlier (but you know, it was actually received at the the present) and then one from the same person that would have an accurate time stamp

They told me that it was "only your issue and no one else in your area has complained about it." They offered to send me a new sim card but it seems like it must be a network issue and not a hardware one because we are all experiencing the same thing. Could it only be modded phones? I changed the rom on mine, been meaning to for a while. I cant say if it has happened again cause I havent gotten a message :-X
I live on the Northeats and was previously running Touch-IT 5.0.
you should have told them that there are reports on the internet of people having the same issues.
i'm in the southeast with the newest stock ROM. so it is definitely a network thing, not hardware or modded issues.
i'd call myself but i'm not the account holder and they make you give all these account numbers SSN and crap
well in addition to the time stamp being wrong now my sms are coming in 24 hrs late. I am afraid to ask whats next.
wow. mine are just 3 hour late timestamps. what is going on here?
I have also been getting delayed texts... sometimes like 10 minutes but can be up to like 9 hours late. I live in Seattle, WA

Okay, I'm at my absolute wits' end here with T-Mobile. This is my first time posting here, I've trolled the forums for some time and have gotten some very valuable info here and I figured you guys were the best ones to talk to. Anyway, T-Mobile was FANTASTIC up until about 3 months ago when it all went to crap. I'm getting voicemails with no missed calls quite frequently these days.
Every now and then SMS messages come in 2 hours before they were sent (not really, but that's what the phone says) and it's completely inconsistent. I'll be having a conversation with someone and a text will come at 8:19pm and the next one at 6:21pm.
MMSs just don't come to or send from my phone anymore. No reason why. They show up as sent from my end but people don't receive them and I don't get them at all.
My internet connection (I have the $20 plan...whatever it's called) frequently stops working and a screen comes up every 30 seconds demanding I log on to the T-Mobile network. I have never received a username, password or domain (I think that's the third thing it asks for) so wtf am I supposed to put in there?
I'm done. The only reason I haven't crapped in a bag and mailed it to them is because I'm waiting for the Touch Pro to come out on Sprint. It's brutal. And it's hurting my social life. I got into a huge fight with a friend because half of my texts weren't going through and the ones she DID get made it seem like I was being a **** when I really wasn't at all. She still isn't talking to me and that was 2 weeks ago. It's so cliche to just blame the phone, BUT IT REALLY IS.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this at all?
actually, you can't blame the phone. Blame the network. But thats just semantics.
have you tried using network wizard to set up some settings for your device?
What network wizard?
And yes, of couse I blame ****-Mobile, not the phone. The phone has been amazing. It's their crappy service that makes it look like a POS.
Hi guys,
I'm having some difficulty with sending SMS messages. Its sporadic. Sometimes they send immediately, sometimes not at all. Its very frustrating.
For example, the day I got the phone (last week) I sent 2 text messages. I didn't hear back from anyone but thought nothing off it. I checked my messages and they were time stamped with the time I sent them at so I presumed they had gone.
That evening, about 6 hours later, I got my two replies. The people had only just got them, hours later. One of them wasn't impressed because it was intructions for something they needed to do 4 hours previously!
So, I turned on delivery reports on each sent message to make sure they sent.
Over, the next two days, I had no problems, delivery reports come in immediately within seconds of me sending my SMS message.
Meanwhile, I called my network (Vodafone) to see if there were any issues with network. they reported none. I checked the message centre number and verified it against the network one. They matched, so I thought all was in order... except I would have to get annoying delivery reports cluttering up my Text message inbox until I was sure the service was working 100%.
Earlier today, I sent about 3 important text messages, got no delivery reports, so I texted my other phone to see if the messages were going through. Nada. I was annoyed.
I'm thinking.. whats going on?
So about 10 minutes ago I shut down the phone and booted up again. Within 10 minutes I was getting all my delivery reports and replies from people!
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong, what setting needs to be activated etc?
Obviously I can't use the text messaging on the device if I can't trust it to just work like pretty much every handset I've owned since... year dot.
PS: I spoke to Vodafone care team who said my sim card must be old; newer sim cards (128k) are needed for these "high tech" phones.
But I just took my sim out of my Nokia N97 (never had a problem) last week AND messages ARE going through on the Leo occasionally and only after a reboot, which is utterly pointless.
This is the last thing I thought I'd have issues with on a device like this..
Any advice? Have I missed something?
Thanks.
Same here, I thought I messed up something in the sms service or so.
Done many hard resets and soft resets. But still no help.
I'm experiencing exactly the same problems. Also Vodafone and no one seems to get any sms from me.
Okay, this ain't good!!
since you both have vodafone, and I haven't seen/heard about other people having these problems, I'd say it was voda's fault

Now tell me, why? I've never had problems on my previous phones.
I don't think the vodafone on the Ireland branch is the same as the one in the Netherlands
Kinda happy to hear that you guys also having the same issue.
It can probally be patched/fixed by htc. I googled for "htc sms hotfix"
And htc is also facing sms issues on other devices.
sigh... How will I live without outgoing SMS capability? so lame... hope you guys will find a fix soon.
seems to be the same like the sms bug in previous manila 2.1 build. outgoing messages weren't send, but only on some specific providers.
How could such a fundamental and critical phone component get screwed up? That just doesn't make sense. Anyone got ideas out there for a fix or we we have to wait for HTC to patch this? What about people who purchased a Leo and have no knowledge of this site etc deal with something like this? They buy a 500+ euro phone, try to send a text message, no joy. Baffled, annoyed, frustrated. Phone would get returned right? Not happy.
I've had this same problem on ATT in the USA

Had? so it's fixed now?
Just had this problem on t-mobile UK. The thing is that if you're in conversation mode it actually gets inserted as if it's been sent. I looked in outbox and it was stuck there, even after pressing 'retry send'. I tried a reset but it was still stuck there, so i retyped the message and sent that, both ended up being sent, with the origanal sms being time stamped as if it was sent ages ago!
I sometimes have this problem too....
O2 here.
In case it helps, I'm not having any problems on 3UK. Are you all certain it's not a network issue?
Perhaps it is to be honest... and perhaps tapping 'resend' just makes it happen in the background so it just appears that it does nothing.
I still find of the most annoying things to be the fact that the auto capitalise new sentence option to not work.... it's bad for perfectionists!!

+1 !!
It might look like it's mainly vodafone but in the UK at least it by far the biggest network, therefore it's bound to affect more voda users. Only 15 posts and already i see vodafone, att, O2, t-mobile, different countries, different networks.
This is the same issue that I've had this week with my Touch Pro running the Leo ROM, the device seemed to be turning all my SMS into MMS and then not sending them, though the odd one would sneak through. The problem has been fixed with an update to the custom ROM I'm using. It's the Energy ROM by the way. I'll send the author a message to see if he can pop on here and offer advice on the problem.
same here O2 in my phone.. even receive some messages later.. pls help us someone

No, I have not made any changes that would have fixed the problem, but it is sporadic and only occurred twice a few days ago.
unfortunately same problem on o2 uk
The following happens no matter which ROM I use. Stock, fresh, modaco. I'm currently on fresh .6 (includes RM). Before that I had the stock ROM with MR update.
My PRL is up to date.
Happens with Handcent, Chomp and stock Messages app.
Problem:
When have a text conversation via SMS the arriving text are received out of order, some come on time, other come minutes later making the conversion impossible to follow. When they finally do arrive they are correctly sorted.
So let's say that I have a conversation that should look like: (just an example)
Me: Hi
Them: Hey whats up?
Me: Going to the game.
Them: Yeah I'll be there in 10 minutes
Me: Can you send me directions?
Them: Just did.
Me: thanks
But it will read like:
Me: Hi
Me: Going to the game.
Them: Yeah I'll be there in 10 minutes
Me: Can you send me directions?
Them: Hey what's up?
Them: Just did.
Hard to explain but then the sms get sorted correctly after a second and if they said something in a long convo that I'd have to scroll up for I'd never see it.
It's weird I know I'm getting thoem sometimes because my phone will go nuts with ringers, tell me I have 4 new messages but I only see two. 30 seconds later they appear in the conversation. Usually I get the latest ones first, then the older ones come through.
It is SO frustrating. If it's not one thing with this phone it's another.
Has anybody heard of this?
call sprint, see if they can disable your texts and then reenable them on your account, i had a similar issue with my texts.. it wasn't exactly like that, but I'd get like 1/3 then 3/3and a minute later almost 2/3 would appear, and my texts would go like older than their old texts... once they did that they work perfectly now

Yup. It has to be something with your account. Have them do what nelson said or re-provision your phone.
I live in Chicago and we don't get Sprint service while underground on the train. When I get back into range, 20 minutes later a missed text will magically appear, but strangely it is stamped with the correct time.
Is it possible that you are in an area of spotty service?

That behavior ir reasonable and expected; but, no, this happens to me in areas of near-perfect reception like my home where I have all but one bar most of the time.
Also, I believe the timestamp's embedded as metadata in each SMS message which puts it in the right place on any phone, smart, dumb, new old etc.
yeap, I have the same problem here... Do you happen to live in MST?
I'm in Scottsdale and randomly I'll have messages timestamped exactly one hour behind. From what I've heard it's a Mountain Standard Time issue. My issues started when Daylight Savings Time started. It's rather annoying tbh, but its completely random.
Hrm, I had it happen to me last night, and I'm in Scottsdale too.
Happens to me as well. I'll randomly get a text that shows up timestamped 1 hour behind. I'm in Goodyear.
Hearing about this on other forums as well. Seems to be mostly AZ people with the problem.
thats funny. my wife and I have this same issue. i'm in east mesa. definitely AZ issue.
Aren't you guys the ones that *don't* do anything for daylight savings? If so, I wonder if that has anything to do with things...
I have the same problem and im in sioux city, iowa...mine does not do it all the time just everyonce in awhile tho
This also happens to me.. I live in Howell, NJ and it was also happening to me on a recent trip to Mountain View, CA.
Me too , I'm in Orange, ca.
I am an az guy and also have this issue. Htc knows about it and so does sprint. When they will fix it no one knows.
If you dl handcent it fixes it even tho the times will still be screwed up on some of the texts.
I'm also in AZ (Tucson) and having the SMS time stamp issue as well. It doesn't seem to be very wide spread unfortunately. I've searched a few forums and have only seen a post or two about it. Kind of makes me wonder if Sprint/HTC will do anything about it...
In Tucson, AZ here too and having the same problem. Holy crap it's annoying.
Download handcent and it will fix the issue until sprint/htc fix it.

I experience the problem with handcent as well.
Yup, still happens with Handcent but it looks like it at least displays them in order received... at least that I've noticed.
I was in SoCal last week and when ppl from the east coast would sms me it would put the conversations in order by their local time, i.e. my replies were behind theirs even though it was a newer text. Handcent.
lately i been noticing that my texts have been coming 10 mins late or more after the person sent them,i think this has to do with the data connection cutting off on its own problem i been having because as soon as the person calls me i would get the text at the same time that they're calling me. has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you fix it.
texts dont use data connection.
Late txt behavour is usually caused by the network, not the phone. The SMS service was never intended to be an instant service, we have just gotten used to them being delivered almost instantly.
If you have another phone that your sim works in, id do some testing and compare the two.
i hag the g1 and my sim was in that phone last week and the texts was coming in on time and now they come in late,maybe it's this phones radio.
heh, yea, could be, but that was last week, too. on thursday my broadband was fine but all weekend its been half speed,,,,
all i'm saying is you need two phones right there and compare, just to be sure.
first step in trouble shooting is proving the fault.
Hello, i have a samsung galaxy and my girlfriend has a blackberry curve. She gets all of my txt msgs but i dont get all of hers sometimes. Anyone know the problem?
Funny, I was just told by someone on Verizon that they didn't get my text tonight. It's happened before, and not with just this person.
I would think it's T-Mobile network-related and not an issue with the phone, though.
Same thing has been happening this weekend, I also have no been able to access the internet 95% of the time but I am guessing tmobile is doing some network maintenance or something since I am not the only some friends are having problems with the internet/texts.
I live in dallas, texas btw.
Yeah, I am having problems with receiving texts. A couple of times I have gotten a batch of texts at the exact time in the middle of the night. No idea if it's the other phone or mine. (Btw this is only one other person/phone this has happened from, Blackberry.)
My text reception is wonky here in Los Angeles. My gf sent me 5 texts yesterday. I received 2 this morning, and the other 3 are still in limbo.
I get this too, got it on my G1 as well, so I take all my texts through my google voice number now. The weird thing is, unless all my friends are systematically lying to drive me insane, I am still not getting every text.
had that issue all day yesterday. I just got 8 messages this morning, that i missed from yesterday. I thought it was just the rom i was running.
Same issue in Boise, Idaho. Kind of funny because a bunch of texting I did yesterday with some friends didn't go through and then at 5:30 this morning they got a bunch of texts from me and I got all the ones they sent...
T-mobile is having issues I am thinking lol
My girlfriend has been having the same problem but it's been happening ever since we bought the phone in July. There would be times of the day where she couldn't send/receive messages and then hours/days later receive batches of messages (sometimes up to 30 in a matter of 5 minutes) from previous days.
She'll also receive a voicemail alert without the phone even ringing atleast twice a day even with full reception.
Just hoping the update will correct these problems because we really do like this phone
+1 on issue. I'm not getting some texts from a tmobile blackberry. Another thing, this happened only once so far but one text I received it duplicated 5 times.
I've been having this same problem with my girlfriend.I'm in Canada I'm on the bell network and she's on rogers. Its not only this phone though it did this when I had my iphone aswell. I'm thinking its more a network issue than a device issue. She has an iphone 4, and it did the same thing previously when she had her iphone 3g.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Kinda off topic, I got text from people today but the text was repeated like 10 times for the same text. Happened with two different people...very weird.
We might be on to something, people!
