SMS Automatically Sending?

Hey guys, i recently updated my rom to Farias WM6 - Crossbow one.
and this morning i tried to send an MMS which failed, changed the mms settings tried again.. failed..
and now if i put my sim-card back into the wizard my credit gets drained through text messages automatically being sent..
i can just leave my phone on the side and it will vibrate saying "message sent"
any ideas what is causing this?
do you think a reflash to another rom would fix this?
thank you, i really like the wizard, so much infact i bought a GPS reciever for it today.. and cant use it due to my memory card being busted (so cant install gps software) now the phantom thats sending texts..

If you are happy with the ROM, try hard re-setting . I was assume that would fix it. If not, then a new flash may be necessary. Let us know what happens!

i thing i learnt was that even without the sim in after resets etc it still happened.. i just reflashed t-mobile 2.26? cant remember, its the one reccomended..
and now it isnt happening i am going to try the xda one i think, and see if that happens again.. if it does i willl just stick to the t-mobile one i guess..
will keep you updated as i lost £3 credit due to this problem.. and i wouldnt wish it upon anyone else.

yeah I haven't seen anything like that happen to anyone else so my guess is that it was a bad flash. Flashing a new WM6 ROM should not re-produce the problem, hopefully. Good luck bro.

Well ive stuck to t-mobile 2.26, just added some programs, done some registry edits, moved icons around from programs -> settings or programs -> programs/tools etc.
added Tomtom 6, and its all working nicely.. no automatic SMS sending, got a few glitches to work out with things like the wireless today plugin not showing wifi, but yeah

Phone not working - unique problem!

hi,
a couple of days ago, my phone started showing some odd behavior.
1) SMS cannot be sent. No matter how many times I press the send button, the message just does not go through.
2) In settings, I cannot open the phone Tab. It just refuses to open up.
Otherwise, i can make calls and receive both, calls and sms. No problem.
I have been forced to use an SMS scheduler program to send sms for the last 3 days!
I even took my phone to vodafone, and got the SIM replaced. No luck!!
Please! All the experts.... need your expert advice! Thanks in advance!
ps! I used to use Schaps 3.57b rom for over a month. 2 days ago i moved to dutty's touch 1 rom, to find out if the problem is because of the ROM. Installed apps - GPRS monitor. Only!
PPS: After installing dutty's rom, everything was functioning for about 2 hours, till I restarted the system. Also, after installing the new SIM card, things were working on dutty's rom till I restarted the system!

I would start by doing a hard reset to see if that solves any issues.

SMS Problems

Hi,
I've been searching for some time now how to resolve my problem but without any result. The problem is that I have to wait very long time ( 1 - 24 hours ) to receive any sms even when the screen is on. Please tell me what should I check on my phone and how to resolve it. I’ve got a HTC Touch HD ( Blackstone )
Thanks

Anyone can help me ??

I think that has to do with your provider since your screen is on.
I remember this happening to me a few years ago, my provider asked me to input a series or numbers starting/beginning with * and # and the send key. Apparently it cleared up the sms cache of my mobile on the network.

I've spoke to my network provider and it seems to be ok but it is not ... still. Any other suggestions ?

Can you try a friend's SIM in it just to be sure? And try your sim in another phone.

ya worst case worst, hard reset or change ur sim cardd

ok .. .I'll try another sim, but this one is working on another phone.

I have a sim lock so i could only try another sim from the same operator and it is still not working. But my sim on another phone ... not htc ... is working perfectly. So what now ?

I'm not sure whether this could be the problem you are experiencing but it may be worth a try.
I'm with Orange and had a problem at the beginning of last week when I noticed some SMS messages weren't coming through for up to 24 hours whereas some continued to come through as normal (even from the same people). I also noticed that I had voicemail messages that I had not been notified of. Up until this point everything had been working fine so I contacted Orange. After a few pointless calls where they tried to send SMS messages to the phone with settings (not ideal if you're having a problem receiving them) I finally got through to somebody who explained that sometimes a problem can occur (he wasn't able to explain what unfortunately) and he provided a solution.
I was asked to delete all SMS messages from my phone (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Deleted etc.) and enter in a code on my kepad which I believe may clear the SMS cache allowing system messages to come through. I then had to turn my phone off for 15 minutes then turn it back on. A system SMS then arrived which I had to delete, turn my phone off and back on again and the problem was solved.
From what I could gather from the guy at Orange it was a problem relating to the handset which can occasionally happen which may explain why your sim works correctly on another phone.
I hope that info is of some use to you.

and what was that code ?

Ok ... I think I’ve found the bug. I've done a hard reset and its working now. The problem was that I’ve put my sim into the device while installing touch flo 3D and this was the problem. This time I've done the hard reset without the sim and SD card. And I put them back when device was ready to run. In that way the problem just disappeared. So I think that my sim card was making some installation problem. Now I receive messages immediately. This solution also resolved another problem with backup. I'm using a Sprite Backup and before hard reset I couldn't make a backup ... some of the files was missing or couldn't be attached to the backup file. Now it's working perfectly. I'm writing this because I’ve found another topic about backup problem but without any solution. So maybe someone will find this threat.
So if You encountered problems with messages take out Your SIM card and SD cart and do the Hard Reset and wait until the second reset ( first reset is for WM6.1 install and the second is for HTC Customization ) After that put Your SIM and SD back. This will also solve problems with backup and maybe other problems.

HTC Elf crashes when accessing the SIM

Hi there,
I have this strange problem with my HTC Elf. The problem existed with the original ROM (5.0) and after my upgrade to 6.5 as well.
It started once a Month, but now it's twice a day.
If i receive or make a call, receive or send a SMS the device just shuts down immediately. (like a hard reset).
The device then automatically starts up, i get the "Smart mobility" screen and then it starts over again. The boot cycle runs endless, until i remove the battery and start again. Sometimes i need to remove/replace the battery 3 or 4 times to get it booting up again. (Doing this booting drains a lot of battery power)
If i remove the SIM Card, everything works fine for hours and booting isn't a problem at all. So I believe accessing the SIM Card somehow craps the device out. The boot-cycle seems to happen in the last stage of booting, when the device first tries to access the SIM card. (That's something i have to suspect, cause there is no way to log the booting).
I don't believe that it's connected to the ROM Upgrade to 6.5 i did, as the problem happened in 5.0 as well... (btw. everything is much faster and more light-weight since the 6.5 upgrade. It's just great.)
Here are my questions:
- Is there something, I could log the boot process, to see what's the last action when it starts over again?
- Is there something like an event log in windows, where I see the last action or even failure / exception, before the device restarts while doing a call / writing an SMS?
- Did anyone see this happen before?
Thanks for any input!

Hi
Have you tried to change the Sim card or use another one just in case the sim is the problem?

Hi Tito,
I plan to swap SIM's next weekend. But i don't get how a SIM can crash the whole thing. I would understand getting errors like "Can't read SIM" but auto-resetting the whole device?
Anyhow, I'll post an update after trying another SIM. The whole thing is, that it's not reproducible by a specific action one could take. So if the device keeps up even for 2 days with a spare SIM - that doesn't mean the SIM's chip is the problem. Just an indication...
Thanks,
mc

Hi
Please do post the result

I had the same problem (endless reboot) on my Elf. I solved it by replacing the battery.

Hi,
well it's like always. If you need the problem, you cannot reproduce it.
The device wasn't crashing even once on the weekend.. Either with my own SIM or with another one.
The battery thing is interesting. As soon, as the problems start reoccurring, I've got now a spare SIM card to test. If this fails, I'm able to test with another battery in march.
I'll post any results.
thanks,
mc

I have the same problem...and also struggles to find a signal. Did you solve the problem yet?

same problem
I have the same problem and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, the thing is i upgraded to the HD2 and didn't use my elf pretty much lately.
I changed my provider and got a new SIM but that didn't solve the issue. So I can exclude the fault being in the ROM or the SIM card.
When the elf was crashing I couldn't start it up. It was booting, and as soon as it tried to register itself in the Network, it crashed again. However, when connecting it to a power source (charger or pc) and booting it up, it went fine through and was able to register in the network.
That brings me to the idea, the even if the battery is full at 100% it might have a flaw and doesn't bring enough energy, when the device is scanning for the available networks.
So next time, I'm in china, I'll get a new battery pack for my elf - however, it's no more that important as my HD2 is running pretty fine.
Hope it's something which can help you.
cheers,
mc

Can't make calls & won't hang up (HD2/leo)

Can anyone help??
I've had my leo for a while now and I love the phone with one major exception.....
Sometimes when I call a contact nothing happens then after an eternity, 2minutes, the call is placed. I have good network connection and have tried it with and without 3G.
When this error is present I also get a problem whereby I can't hang up.
This seems to be a software problem. I'm on the T-mobile network in the UK. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I couldn't find anything on the forums. I've tried stripping programs/software off and have tried both hard and soft resets. The problem appeared to go away after a hard reset but then appear again weeks later for no apparent reason.
I have the original ROM version (1.43.110.2) and no significant mod's apart from Cookie home screen tabs and a few simple registry tweaks.
Any help guys, I'm contemplating taking the phone back but will I just end up with a reconditioned model? Mine's in mint condition and I don't want to end up with some banged up phone.

Hi, Did the phone work before the reg tweaks and software installation? A new T-Mobile UK ROM was published on the 15th, it might be an idea for you to flash your phone, test it then tweak, if it doesn't work after you flash it then speak to T-Mobile. If it workls after you flash it but not after you tweak then there's your problem Here is the link to HTC's UK web site with the download. I'd guess that T-Mobile will have a link on their support site for it too, somewhere: http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=2.
Hope this helps.

Mine does the same thing. Also mine also freezes when I get incoming calls. After I talk to the other person, I can't hang up. It's frozen. I have to hit the reset button on the back or take out the batter. I have two HD2's T-Mobile US Versions on release day.
I did do some HD2 tweaks to turn on the LED when I get messages though.
I'm going to reset both devices and see what happens. Maybe the old softwares don't work on the HD2 even though it's for WinMo 6.5.
I really hope it work, because I hate to return the unit. It's a beautiful hardware.

Thanks CMMY, I'll try installing the new ROM as soon as I get a chance.
I didn't have the problem before installing software/tweaks; but then again it was only probably a couple of days before I played around with it. After I did a hard reset and reinstalled some software it was working fine for at least a week before the problem re-occured, which seemed quite strange. Today the phone is working fine but will undoubtedly return, the fault seems entirely intermittent.
Daily driver: I also have the same problem when recieving calls. I'll let you know how I get on.

Same problem here, my phone is 3 days old and I have to remove the battery to end most calls, did a master reset and thought that fixed it. Couple hours later it was back at it. I'm using a tmobile hd2. This seems to be a very common problem, hope they come out with a patch soon..

Same problem here, hope it gets fixed someday

same problem
all the same..
t mobile croatia..
cant make phone call
cant hang up
...
all other provider sim works fine
help..

I have this issue across diffrent roms, soft reboot does not fix it. just fixes itself after a while

Hi
Did you find a solution to this problem?
I'm using GSM HD2 Europe.
This problem start occurring after a while when I was using 29 Aug Energy rom.
After a reset the phone work ok for few hours.
When to problem start, the send physical button does not work.
if I want to make a call I must use the "phone" from the start menu.
When I try to end the call, the phone software stop responding, but the operation system keeps working.
In order to end the call I must remove the battery.
I when back to the original rom 1.66 from HTC site.
the problem still exist but less frequently.
(by the way the original rom work much slower then the energy custom rom.)
I’m wasting so much time on this phone, and I’m on the verge of giving up .
I will be happy to get some help.
Thanks

If you do not have BsB tweaks, but used tweak #44 in "Leo's tips and tweaks", this can cause problems for some.

can't hangup
I found the reason for this problem. (at least for the specific problem I had)
I'm using resco keyboard.
if I leave the Caps lock on after using the keyboard, then the "Send" HW button does not work, and you can't hangup calls.
by opening the keyboard again and releasing the caps lock the all work fine again.

I've also had this problem... Made me consider selling this otherwise great HD2, sometimes even running it over with a car
When I want to make a call, phone just won't dial - it freezes, but everything else works fine (only "phone app" freezes). So, I give up the call. Few minutes later, it unfreezes, and phone starts calling. Usually, from my pocket. Also, after a call, I can't hang up. I often ended up with removing the battery.
I tried everything...
Restarting the phone makes everything ok, but only for a few minutes.
Installing different app, tweaks, etc - nothing.
Removing everything and returning the phone to factory settings - nothing.
Then, I remembered to disable Sense. That was it. I have used the phone without Sense for months, and it didn't happen. Not even ONCE!
Can anybody here do anything with this?
I still want to use Sense because it looks awsome, way better than Windows interface...

You could try a custom rom. I have been using Dutty's latest and greatest without any of the problems you're describing.
