Hey everyone,
I've been using sucesfully Helmi's great ROM kitchen for WM 6 for my BA and, once again I have to congratulate to The Man for building such a good ROM and extending the life of our good old BA's.
I have one problem though, which is something I run in here and there around this forum and that is the SMS notification. For some reason, my BA does not ring and/or vibrate when SMS arrives when the phone is in power-off mode, with option "lock all buttons except power button". Only when I turn it on, I get the notification that the SMS has arrived. It is really annoying, and so far I was unable to do anything related to this. Does anyone have an idea, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot

pleease help!
Same problem here. I only get an SMS notification when a 2nd message comes in. The 2nd one is usually my girlfriend fuming why I haven't replied to the first message

Hey all,
Within the HD2 when you send and receive messages from people with different timezones ordinarily I might expect that it would use the old users time and show me that the reply was say +3 hours, whereas actually it was a few minutes ago.
However it appears that when it orders the messages it takes your local time always, so you can get the situation:
Me: 4.40pm
Reply: 4.45pm (7.45pm users time)
Me: 4.50pm
Reply: 4.55pm (7.55pm users time)
So the message thread becomes:
Me
Me
Reply
Reply
So it becomes completely out of sync and is actually really useless, is there a fix or something I am missing in regards to this?
Thanks!
I have the problem of mine being time stamped 3 minutes earlier than when I got them so when it should be:
Me
Reply
Me

it becomes

Seems like they've really screwed up the whole conversational messaging thing
I've not been able to fix mine yet
Yes this is a really annoying issue and keeps happening, is there anyway or any fix that is forthcoming for this?
It will mean that threaded messaging just wont work properly with this phone.
SMS Timing
What cell company do you all have? I've noticed other post about this, and I have had the same issue. The common carrier is T-Mobile. My Girlfriend is having the same issue, and she is on T-Mobile with a Touch HD. I am running a Touch HD2, so it's not the phone. I recently flashed the new official ROM 1.403.405.1 (70124). Since then my problem has gone away and not using the SMStimefix.cab file that is out there available (it didn't work).
Hope this helps

Hey,
Yes I am on T-Mobile, its not something I have experienced in the past with a carrier (O2, Orange). So I guess T-Mobile do / dont do something that other carriers do which cause this.
I'll try to look into the SMStimefix to see if it does work or such like. So do other people on O2, Vodafone not have this issue?
i had this problem.... tooo
it really terrbile as i wont able to know which is my sms with his reply

For all we know this fix does nothing to address the sending problem. We have zero confirmation that it does anything.

Correct. We have zero confirmation that it either fails or succeeds. Why not join in with the other people trying it to find out?
It took me a couple of weeks from first getting the phone, to getting the SMS problem. Then, after the ROM 1.48 upgrade I didn't have the problem for a few days.
All my SMS since installing the fix have been sent, and I've received an appropriate amount back, so I can confirm that my SMS is currently 100% working. Whether it will work as well next week, I can only tell you then.

This fix does *nothing* to fix the sending problem.
It's easy for me to see this because unlike other people the sending problem happens for me 100% of the time.

Then how can you confirm this fix doesn't work? Maybe you have an other problem. I only heard people telling that they can't send messages occasionally, that's quite different from 100% of the time.
i never had problems before but i've installed this fix anyway, haven't noticed any difference,
the slow loading of conversation sms is still there, hope they fix that soon
for anyone who is having an issue, i suggest starting fresh with the fix, try it see if it works

You should calm down, there is nothing wrong with the PR. Every company does that. Don't expect a hotfix which will solve your particular problem. Others don't have.

That's annoying. Especially considering some users are reporting no problems with older versions of the msging ap installed. It shouldn't be particularly difficult to load a lot of plain text.
For what it's worth, the situation with slow loading of conversations got worse for me with the fix. I only had two contacts where it was slow, after applying the fix it's most (if not all) contacts. I've never had the sending bug, so can't say anything about it. Uninstalled the "fix" for now.
Maybe it was a fix for the number instead of letters when yo have had a longer sms conversation all of a sudden you got only numbers instead of letters.
To solv I have to change keyboard and then type some and then change it back to get letters again.
Is it just me who have had this problem?
Hi all,
I was wondering if I can't start a partition for the sms problem for leo. This is still a phone people and the two major functions of a phone are to be able to call and send text messages. Meanwhile all HTC seems to do is fix some little calendar and sd-card bugs but where is the WORKING fix for the sms messaging problem? I think if we start a petition and show HTC how much people are struggling with this problem, they will need to hurry up and fix this problem once and for all. Only problem is that I don't know how to start this off and I could use a little help. Thnx in advance.
Grtz
P.S. Still loving my snappy Leo, but it's very frustrating when you can't send messages when you're used to do this a lot..
totally agree. they should stop all other fixing not fixing anythng nd work on this issue.
I don't believe in petitions; needs someone to organise, etc.
Better idea, if you feel so strongly about it, is to write to HTC's technical department and copy their publicity and marketing people in.

i dont know which problem you talk about.
but there is already a hotfix for sms-problem from htc.

i hope this will help you. otherwise, which problem do you mean?

He knows that, but that hotfix dosent work. This is why he put WORKING hotfix in his message. HTC need to sort this out. coz i'm seriously thinking of selling this phone and getting another iPhone now.

Gotta agree hot fix did nothing for me. Seriously annoying trying to send messages. Its rather embarrassing when i show off the phone!
The only thing that gets me by is the little work around someone suggested. When loading a contact Open and Close the menu(bottom right) then you can type. Its annoying but much faster than waiting for nearly a minute to start typing.
they should remove and return me back the old classic outlook sms!!!!

Exactly, when people use the phone to try it out and it gets stuck on one of the most basic functions, they just think "why would someone use a phone that doesn't text?". It won't do much for the "i want one" mentality that HTC want people to have when they see their friends using their phones.

What makes you think so? There are loads of people who've installed the fix and experienced the bug since. And more are cropping up every day. Just because some people haven't had the bug come back after installing the fix doesn't mean it wont. Some users had the phone for weeks before the bug cropped up initially. Moreover, HTC themselves are not advertising the hotfix as relating in anyway to the stuck outbox problem. The accompanying description on their site is a load of marketing speak nonsense.
My 2p worth.
Firstly I have a love hate relationship with HTC Messaging. I've always used PocketCM anyway instead of the standard MS c#@* and it has worked lovely until the recent ROMS came along. Now it simply won't run alongside. Just crashes out. I don't know why and the developer can't assist as he does not have a machine to test it with and can't recreate the issue etc, etc...
Last week T-Mobile made me an offer that could not be refused and so I upgraded to the HD2. It has been with some trepidation that I have used it the past week or so as I send and receive a lot of texts on a daily basis but I have to say I have not had the problems you guys are having. They go straight away and there is none of the lag that has been reported. I'm beginning to think I must be very lucky! On the other hand I would agree that to me the two basics of these phones that must work faultlessly are the calls themselves and SMS. The fact that there is issues is pretty dreadful...
My next hope is the arrival of hacking SPL so I can flash a decent ROM onto the device and hopefully one without this program built in!!
The SMS outbox build-up (and therefore non-sending) bug is intermittent. I had it after around 4 days on my original handset. I installed the hotfix immediately upon unboxing the replacement and encountered the problem within 24 hours. There is also another, more nasty and even more intermittent SMS bug - mentioned by only a couple of people on this forum - and that is texts going to someone other than the intended recipient. I have had it happen twice to me and that is enough to give me ZERO confidence in sending texts on this device. I don't discuss anything that I would be embarrassed about if it were to get into the wrong hands. This is a bit of a disaster for a seasoned texter like myself, I used to text more than I made calls.
HTC need to address this, they obviously can't locate the 'bug' or don't fully understand the problem. Intermittent faults are notoriously difficult to fix as they never occur when the 'tester' is checking for them. Therefore if a fault cannot be replicated, how can it ever be fixed? My 2 cents is that the whole messaging app should be rewritten from scratch and the plans for the old system should not be looked at - it should all be fresh. If they can't find the bug, write some new code.

+1 to that idea but I wouldn't hold your breathe!!
One again, I repeat: I haven't seen anyone in America have this issue. I use ATT and have no issues with texts. None. I've had my HD2 for almost a whole month, as well.

Lucky indeed

That's the problem. Although I've read and followed these threads about this problem as they came across the forum, I had'nt had any problems myself and considered myself lucky too! But after regaining confidence in messaging with my leo, and I started to send texts again it turned out this problem occurs quite random. Sometimes I send a text and it gets delivered right away, but another time I'll send a text and a few others to other recipients, and they all get delivered 2 days later!! That's where it gets tricky for HTC I think. Then again, if they are able to create these beautiful devices, they're certainly able to rewrite a flawless messaging-app from scratch.. Only hope that this will be fixed soon Or HardSPL will be released soon.

If you're saying that, YOU know nothing.
I too suffer this problem.
Today I got really pi**ed with it and uninstalled the Hotfix, leaving just the ROM Update, so far so good - probably just today though!
This is a really buggy phone throughout though, probably the worst I've had, but somehow this appeals to me deep down
I've had the phone since November, seen the sms problem only twice. Kinda got the impression that it only occurs if the phone has been on a good while, i.e a number of charges with no soft-resets. That could easily be coincidence.
Both times also after spotting the messages in the outbox and doing a soft reset the queued messages sent.
Still not working for me too
There is an update for the HTC HD2, dated 2010-01-07, named Update for HTC HD2 SIM Contacts.
Now, for those who applied it, what problems did you ran over regarding SIM Contacts, and what is the reason you applied this update anyway.
Moreover, were the problems you find, solved by this update?
Thanks in advance!
I installed the update to ensure i was up to date with hotfixes. i didnt have issues with viewing contacts on the SIM card but I like the fact that this hotfix updates the radio to that included in ROM 1.61.
I applied the patch because it includes a radio update. The patch is misnamed IMO.
Right. However, do you have the SMS-remaining-in-Outbox issue?
If so, did you have it prior to installing this update (the SIM Contact update)?

Never heard of it?
Well, there are only 700 something replies to this thread older thread, that started with an older problem which was apparently "fixed" by some update, but now messages get stuck in Outbox, and 300 something replies on this thread, where people are complaining about this issue.
However, after speaking to some of them in the second thread, they've apparently updated their radio with the update I mentioned in my first post on this thread... Call it karma?
amang22005. Ive obviously heard of the issue, I must have missed the 700 messages you have read stating that it has been seen as a direct consequence of installing the SIM Contact hotfix however.

Good thing your such an expert in sarcasm, m8 !
Now really: howcome I and so many others (who didn't apply the SIM contacts update...just for that...) never had problems with the sms-stuck-in-outbox like issue?
And there is a complete thread of almost 400 posts now, with people confirming that the problem has something to do with the data connection, which, by the way, is treated apparently some way different in the new radio version.
And yet again, did you at least read 1 post from the duzen where people confirmed they've applied the update (SIM contact), which changed the radio and confirmed that they also have the SMS-stuck problem?
What do you really need for trying to be helpful? 700 something posts confirming the issue and update-applied?
Anyway... leaving sarcasm apart, did anyone see any enhacements with the new radio? Anything better, anything repaired?
Or did you all apply it just because it was a new radio?
I wasn't actually being sarcastic, u just read it that way.
after i installed it , i could not find my file with contact photo's in it ( still can't )
As far as the radio update is concerned:
After the update reception is way better for me. Usually at home I had bad connection (1 to 2 bars GSM/EDGE), even some dropped calls occasionally and bad talking quality over all. But after the update I have almost full bars with GSM all the time with perfectly clear (as far as the phone can handle) talking quality. I even believe the lag to be less now. And for the first time my HD2 even can get a 3G/HSDPA signal where I live.
Makes one wonder why they didn't do it this way from the beginning. But that's a question that applies pretty often....
I have also found the reception to be a lot better, at home my signal was also very poor and the occasional SMS wouldn't send, kept having to use Resend until it went, since the radio update I have had no problems with sending SMS at all.
reception of 3g slightly increased here after this radio update. gsm like normal (full).
Ok, great... So better reception! This is good to know!
One golden star for HTC for this one!
However, I do wonder whether you had a SIM contacts problem or some kind...?
