Recieving blank txt messages

I upgraded to haykuros 6.0r1 rom today and did a few mods to it listed below. I noticed today that when i receive a txt message it is blank. My friends are receiving my with no issues. Anyone have any ideas? I did a wipe after installing rom being that I was running JF1.51 rom before.
Mods
1) Ported G camera app to maintain functionality with some apps, and removed HTC camera and gallery
2) new HTC IME from haykuro
3) replaced Dialer to remove Chinese char from dialer
4) Launcher from Dudes to fix landscap bug

Could be a locale issue. I know when I send written-Chinese to phones that don't support it, they see blank text.

I don't think it is a local thing being I have it set to English and all I can read emails fine. Just can't see txt. The weird thing I noticed lastnight is that my led keeps blinking after i get a txt msg even after i go into check it.

does anyone know if there are any libaries needed for SMS. I looked in /system/lib and nothing really poped out.

rom 1.66 - does it fix the SMS problem?

Hi there,
Does anyone know for sure if the 1.66 ROM upgrade fixes the SMS issue with them getting stuck in the outbox? I'm downloading it as we speak but I don't want to have to completely reset my device without needing to.
I have all the previous hotfixes released in EU/UK installed.

not sure... supposedly it does... im running it and havent had the problem.
i delete alot of my texts all the time though so im not sure if i just havent noticed it yet.

it should and it is (for me) fix both the stuck in the outbox & lag problem on the sms app.

Sounds like good feedback! Making an app and tweak list so I can get up and running again quickly now... I remember the fun I had doing this on my Diamond...surely this SMS issue could have been done as a hotfix

There is new SMS hotfix from January 24th, which says is for ROMs older then 1.66, so it is supposed to be the same version of SMS software as is on 1.66 ROM.

i had an issue with 1.66.. UK unbranded device - After using PIM and then MyPhone to restore messages and such, any SMS i tried to send went as an MMS?
I couldn't find anything else like this for anyone else, so I went back to 1.48 and I've got no problems with my SMS'... one of the contacts said 550 after the name on 1.66 so I'm guessing this was a count of how many messages were in that thread.

Haven't experienced any stuck sms on the latest 1.66 ROM, but I noticed that the ringing volume is much lower than it used to be. Not sure maybe because I had like 40% battery left?

1.66 ROM solves the SMS issue for me.

Also fixed for me as well as other things such as windows live messenger connection problems, receiving emails problem, weather not updating etc. Best rom to date

I had the stuck sms syndrome on 1.43 and 1.48............no such problem on 1.66

stable...
Id say its running stable for now. Only thing i noticed is the "limited to 10 recipients" on th recipient input field for SMS. SMS thread loads faster and there is no lag on replying to SMS thru sense ui. Like i am experimenting with a long thread of 119 SMS on one conversation.
Once clicked on the SMS, it it loads the SMS conversation, and i can start to write on the input box immediately. Loading all the older msgs takes a few second which is OK with me as i dont go on scrolling to see the older msgs just as i open them.
anyone else got the imitd to 10 recipients coming on ur recipient input fields???

muliple issues with HD2, seem to be getting worse... please help.

hey guys,
ive always had a few bugs with this HD2 (some seem pretty common, and tolerable/fixable)... but lately ive been having so pretty frustrating problems, causing me to soft reset 10+ times a day.
ill try list these issues and describe them accurately, and if anyone has any suggestion on ways to resolve them... i would greatly appreciate the help.
- often freezes when trying to send SMS messages. i use Zenyee's sms patch, to allow my to use the WINMO client. what usually happens is, i can select to create a new SMS, type the SMS all without hassle... but as soon as i hit the send button (bottom left softkey)... i get the windows loading animation (4 coloured dots circling in center of screen), and thats where is freezes, i have given the phone hours to 'load' and complete the SMS send operation... but it jsut sits there.. loading.
- i have another common issue relating to SMS. it seems the HD2 cannot recognise when i have read an SMS. i receive a new SMS, i open, read, and sometimes delete the new SMS... but sense still displays the 'unread' icon on the slide-bar. S2U2 also is still seeing an unread SMS... but there is no unread SMS. this happens 95% of the time when i receive and SMS. i have to reset to get rid of this notification OR if i reply to this new SMS... once i have dismissed the "message sent' notification, the phone recognises the fact i have no unread SMS.
- quite often i cannot wake my phone up from being asleep, this also seems to happen only when i receive a new SMS. i get the flashing LED (at ear speaker) letting me know i have an unread SMS/call/etc, but upon hitting the hardware buttons to wake phone up... i get no response.
- there are also a few occasions where i dont receive any SMS at all, over the last few days... ive had quite a few people call me and ask if i received the SMS they have sent me. i have also tested this myself, sent myseld about half a dozen test SMS with out receiving any of them. i am still receiving some messages, but there are also quite a few that i am not getting. this issue could be caused by my network provider, thought id mention it anyway.
it seems that most of these issues are SMS related. i did have quite a few texts in my inbox and sent items box (around 1500), but i have deleted many of them and am now down to around 300, and im still having problems.
so... if anyone has any suggestions to resolve these issues... i welcome the advice. before i resort to hard reset.
cheers guys.

sorry i do not experience this problem at all and i believe this is uncommon. there is a new sms function update hotfix posted by HTC couple of days back. this updates the messenging client to 2016. try it.

did you try uninstalling your sms cab that you are using and trying that for a few days to see if you still get the freezes? If you are stock you should try the previous posters suggestion and update your ROM and try it without the sms cab and see how it goes.

thanks for the tips guys, ill have a look at the hotfixes. with the telstra ROM i have, i can use the HTC SMS client without the major lag issues - but i still prefer the WINMO client for the folder support and other functions that are absent in the HTC client.
ill check out your suggestions, and let you know how it goes.
cheers again for taking the time to read and reply.

after looking at the htc site, i have noticed that the new SMS hotfix only applies to ROM versions less than 1.66.
that suggests my current ROM may already have these fixes applied.

cheers for the help though.

i'm running 1.66 ROM and is still able to install. I still think there is no harm downloading and try installing the hotfix. if it says unable to install, so be it. =)

fair call, im downloading it now. will certainly let you know how it goes.
thanks mate.

I installed HTC's SMS hotfix, and it seems they have increased the folder support in their SMS client. previously... from what i can remember, they had only a few SMS folders visible in their client, i think it was 'inbox', 'sent' and 'drafts'. now they have increased this and added 'outbox' and 'deleted items'.
anyway, this newer version of the HTC SMS client is much more usable than previous incarnations of this client.
and having removed zenyees SMS patch... i have had no repeat offences of any of the above listed issues. it has only been 12 hours-ish... but it is looking good so far.
the only problem i have now with the HTC SMS client is the integration with S2U2 (SMS slide to view defaults to conversation mode in the HTC client - i would prefer traditional mode). and also there is a text selection issue in the new message screen. i use the swype SIP and i frequently need to fix up my incorrect word inputs, in the WINMO client, this was easy (double tap the word, the select the correct word from the word suggestion list), however... in the HTC SMS client... double tapping does not select text, sometimes if i tap 4 times i can select the word and promt swype's word suggestion list to appear... but not always).
but these issues with HTC's SMS client are far more tolerable than the problems i was experiencing with the WINMO client.
thanks for all your help guys.
i will keep you posted on further developments.
cheers.

Glad that the hotfix helps in one way or another. On the other hand, now we all knows this hotfix doesn't actually limit to ROM 1.66 and below.

it does seem to increase to functionality of the HTC SMS client. but between 1 ROM upgrade and almost never using the HTC client... i cannot be 100% sure that these new 'features' are infact new. i know the 1.6X telstra ROM had a pretty weak HTC SMS client, and they did improve it alot for the 1.7X ROM - lessened the lag, and a few other fixes. after i upgraded to the 1.7X ROM, i still used the SMS patch to have the WINMO client as my default... so i never payed to much attention to that version of the HTC SMS client.
as i posted above, i have now noticed the improved folder support in the HTC SMS client... but i cant be 100% sure that this is a result of the 1.7X ROM upgrade... of the SMS hotfix. though i do think it was the hotfix, and the hotfix certainly did install without issue.
so if anyone else is using the latest telstra stock ROM.... what is the HTC SMS client like? enhanced folder support? less lag?
cheers again.

Threaded SMS + Swype + Over 200 Total Messages = WTF

1) Why is there a relationship between number stored text messages and delay time between when phone first lights up until I am unable to unlock the phone and read my message? It seems sometimes when I have even 200+ messages stored, my phone will light up indicating a text is being received, but will "freeze" until it has (what seems to be) re-loaded every text stored. Only then, allowing me to access my new text message. So fukcing frustrating...it has to be Sense related.
- No, turning off Sense does not fix the problem either. I'm stock ROM (2nd to latest ROM upgraded)
2) Why does Swype, in threaded mode, insist on having every message load prior to being able to use it? Again, if a contact has 200+ messages in their thread, the phone is useless until all messages have loaded...
I enjoy using the threaded view, because I'm often referring back to previous text messages in my conversations. I can avert the Swype loading by using traditional mode. As of right now, it's either Swype + traditional or no Swype + threaded. I shouldn't feel I should have to choose, am I right?
I realize I can just delete my messages every 200+ that occur, but I reach that in a couple of days. Deleting takes too long too and going through SMS Backup is a too much of a pain if it's not for 1000+ texts.
I know this is cache/memory related. I wish there was a way to transfer the texts from phone storage to SD storage. I'm running a Class 6 too, so I don't think I can attribute slow processing speeds to the card either.
Thanks in advance. I realize this is MOST likely a repeated question. But I feel I haven't been able to arrive to a just answer from searching.

yep, its an ooold problem with no specific fix other than don't save more than 100 or so txts.
tried the latest rom?

I find that using a custom ROM has pretty much fixed the problem of HTC messageing freezing like that for me. I constantly have 1000+ texts in 3-4 threads, and have minimal wait times for messageing to open and let me reply.

Try using the latest TMO USA stock ROM. This ROM seems to have completely eliminated any problems with the HTC messaging app.
I have twitter send tweets from certain users as txt messages to my phone. The thread for twitter has reached over 1000 messages on a couple of occasions with this new ROM without causing significant lag like the previous stock ROM used to

swype is crap I notice that was the problem why my sms app would slow app...I use the regular keyboard and I have over 300 messages with one contact and its still not slowing up, and on top of that I notice I type faster with the regular keyboard....first time I used the keyboard since i got the phone back in june

I recommend a rom without HTC messaging. HTC messaging is still slow wether its stock rom or custom. Why they decided to uber up WinMo SMS I will never know.

[Q] Atrix 4G CM7 MMS (unknown label as "1")

Hi, i installed the newest rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574
I just started noticing that i'm now getting MMS text from "1" and not the contact name because when i download the message either from goSMS or handcent or even the defaulted one messager, after the download, it then places it under the correct name/contact...all text messagers behaves the same way. i went to search throughout the forums but coming up empty (sorry if this has been brought up before).
If someone can point to the forums with the information that I lamely could not find or explain if it is a bug because the release notes or known bugs doesn't list this as an issue.

ditto. and i use goSMS as well

Did u try geting rid of your Mms app and using the stock one

get rid of MLS? sorry for not understanding that but what is this?
i have tried to use the stocked one (removed all handcent and go SMS apps) but still gets the "1" or duplicates where i see "1" and the receiver contact name with the same mms...but sometimes i don't.
i'm searching some more, does the APN selection make a difference? like if i go to Network Operator, i see preferred network selection...2 ATT (listed as AT&T and AT&T...nothing really indicates the difference from each other) and Tmobile.

im having the same issue..using gosms. i've used every cm releases for atrix there is and only now started having this issue with nightly 4. i'm using fauxs enhanced stock kernal now. jus switched from the 2.1 1.3oc last night on which i noticed the issue. will try out this enhanced stock n see if the issue happens with it.

I use GO SMS Pro as well - and I do NOT have this issue..... I dont know whats going wrong for you guys :/

GoSMS here and no problems!

I only have this problem if I click on the download button in the MMS. If the message auto-downloads then there is no problem. I've had this problem on other ROMS as well so I'm thinking this is a GoSMS issue.

If it were a GoSMS issue - we would all have it.... CaelanT and myself don't have this issue and we both use GoSMS......

i tried with the stock messanger too, and still got the same issue, i don't think it's the aps (handcent or goSMS). ahh it's so crazy!

GoSMS here and Homebrew ROM, FAUX 2.1 1.0 extended kernal and I am having the same issue, but only if it's an MMS message, not with regular texts. Once I click on D/L, another text comes in from the sender with whatever image was attached.

I too have the issue. I am on CM7 Not Beta and not Nightly, and am using Handcent. My wife, who is completely stock running 4.5.91 and not unlocked or rooted, running Handcent is also seeing this issue....

My son and I both use GoSms and he gets them , but I don't. Also I'm on CM7 and he is stock 4.5.91.

i am on CM7 and use handcent and i get this as well! very strange. not a big deal, just strange. the "1" message is always empty. If i go back out I see the MMS properly inside the proper thread.
