ADMIN PLEASE DELETE, FOUND PROPER THREAD... SORRY
I don't know if anyone else found this problem.
I am on o2 and Friday evening installed the HTC HD2 Sim Contact update on my phone which also updates the radio.
It seems every text I sent since the update had not been recieved (although it was shown as sent). I uninstalled the update about 30 minutes ago and reset the phone and all the text were then recieved; it was as if they were just backed up.
I was, however, able to recieve texts to my phone.

Hi Guys,
i have a MDA Vario and I love that thing. But I recognized with the time.. that SMS are blocked. Over night I turn off my phone and when I turn it on the next morning, no message is coming. A lot of my friends asked me if i got their message last night.. They sent it to me after i have turned it off. And on the morning i didn´t got anything. No message.
Last week i registered myself on a Website where a SMS-Registration was necessary. I clicked on "send the Message". The MDA Vario blinked up.. and I expected that it will ring and signalize the message. But nothing. I never got a message. The SMS is lost till now. And i´m afraid that there are some more messages which got lost.
Does anyone recognized the same Problems like me? Or can anybody help me? :?:
Thx
Maresch
where are my new messages?
got the same problem. SMSs just stopped comming. i started using sprite backup - the only change in used programs.
hardresetted device works, but after restore: no go. even microsoft activesync backup restores settings with no SMS...
any thoughts on this?

This MAY NOT be your case, but...
Sometimes (although the "nice" people at Sprite Software won't recognize it), after restoring a backup made with sprite backup, the SMS inbox folder (and sometimes even other folders like draft and trash) stop working. The effect varies:
you may see "x messages unread" but the new messages are not visible.
you may never see new messages.
the new message notification can stop working, with or without the other symptoms.
recovering from this problem is difficult: the easiest way is, ofcourse, and hard reset. if you want, SMS Organizer can still extract the messages from the damaged database most of the times.
SMS lost - not received
This is interesting - I have posted exactly the same behaviour - only some SMS received.
I can recreate the problem that you describe almost at will - It is not related to any backup software - it happens on a "virgin" XDA after hard reset without anything being loaded or even an Active sync attempted.
bottom line is: put your XDA in a spot where the reception is weak and switch it off. Send two messages to the phone. It will wake up trying to receive the first message. It will loose the network and re-aquire, but no SMS will be received. (although a confirmation message will be sent) - as it is awake now it will receive the second message. The first one will be lost forever.
I have upgraded ROM to no avail. I had it in for repair twice - still same problem. O2 has now agreed to exchange the unit. I will keep you posted.
My concern on reading this is, that this is an issue with the unit itself.
Certainly hope I dont have any issues as I send and receive a lot of sms messages and any kind of failure like this would mean the phone being sent back and contract cancelled unless I can find a different phone that interests me. Unlikely as I was only considering this or the XDA Exec.
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.
Hi,
I updated my ROM as soon as it came out in January.
I have been using my HTC HD2 on and off over the last two months due to its niggles but thought I would give the phone one more chance.
To my dismay again - I having issues with sending and incoming text messages.
For example
There was about a 3 hour window today where I suspect I was not receiving any text or sending any.
I noticed this because I phoned vodafone to give me an automated SMS message to tell me how many mins I got left. But after 2 attempts and left it for 90 mins, no messages came through.
I also sent out a couple of texts but noticed the delivery reports were shown as not delivered. These were two several different people.
So I thought this must be my phone then.
I switched off my phone and back on again, voila the messages I had sent were delivered 30 secs after my phone was switched back on.
I phoned up Vodafone again to get automated text message - viola the sms came within 5 seconds.
Question
What cause the cessation of incoming and outgoing messages in that 3 hour window? Could an app/update running in the background could have caused this?
Is this a common issue even with the latest official ROM update? Is there a fix?
Please help as this issue along with short battery life is making me thing whether to get rid of phone.
But I also love the other features of the phone - for that reason I want this fundamental feature of sending/receiving SMS message to be resolved.
Thanks -rant over
that sounds just like the original sms problem.
did you use backup software when you upgraded? with the wrong settings, when you restore it can cause problems by writing back some old system files.
could be as easy as a hard reset.
no I did not use any backup software. literally just installed the new ROM and then had to install all my programs manually in again. any ideas? it does seem like the old sms issue as the problem is much less frequent but annoying nonetheless lol.

Sorry to hear all your disappointing references your having with your HD2.
I not long after getting myne when had rom 1.48 and now 1.66 never have had any SMS problems(although a fix was installed by HTC straight away apon purchase)
I then installed a app to disable Sence Sms (sorry cant find where i got it from) being processed by Sence as it created a few limitations i liked in windows sms .
Any way by shifting the total responsibility back to Windows Sms functionality > i have never to today experienced a single problem with stuck sms.
I hope this helps.
but my problem is very intermittent. could a program running in the background cause this issue
I have an O2 HD2 which came with ROM V1.43 i had no issues with sms. I installed the V1.66 ROM...still no issues! It may be something to do with your network? might be worth trying a different networks sim card to prove???
I thought the same but i have no issue with my old phone. strange huH?
I have an HD Mini, suffering from the common time-stamp error.
Have attempted past HTC model fixes including hard resets, forcing time zone changes and the Reg Key "TrustTimeZoneField=0".
Falsifying the time zone will correct the SMS time stamps, but then throws out received mail time stamps.
I have tried others' sim cards on various carriers, AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers with no change.
HTC claims it is a carrier, though my old s710 is always correct.
Any ideas? Thanks
hey...
i have the same problem as you, and i do believe it may be the carrier, as i had a problem with my sony ericsson before i got the htc mini....
my text messages will say for example, 2:00pm as the timestamp, but the message was received at 9:00pm
Afarid that I've been on 3 carriers and used locals' sim cards. Same issue. HTC denies it.
same here guys, hope some1 could shed some light on the matter...
Its not a carrier problem for sure.
it has something to do with the time zones.
my incoming txt msg's are recorded 1 hour ahead of time...dont know why..
i played around with regional settings and time zones but still nothing
hi all, after the official rom upgrade i have a problem with sms.. when i reply to an sms, my reply is showed before the received message.. anyone has the same problem?
Did you installed the new update from HTC for SMS stability ?
Moved to general...
Ok I have an HTC Rhodium having similar problem, you guys are only hours off, mine is off by years, my SMS shows todays date as 7/7/16, Is there ANY kind of fix for this? I'm still searching but wanted to post and subscribe while i was here.
ok never mind I was at htc the other day and apparently i was in the wrong spot. i'll have to download it tonite when i get home seeing as it's not a cab, dangit!
Hi,
A colleague of mine just bought a Desire HD but is running into some trouble after installing some golf GPS software yesterday. I'm not sure which ones he uses, but he told me his gps software crashed, and he had to reboot his phone because the 'sync' icon was stuck in the status bar.
After the reboot, all received and sent sms'es on his phone were resent to the original recepients.
When he tried to call me from the number in his contact list to explain the problem, the phone dialed a completely different number?
Another thing he showed me already a few days ago: every phone call he makes or receives, automatically gets an entry in his contact list (with the SIM card icon). No idea how this happens?
I suspect only a hard reset might solve these problems? Or does anyone else here have any idea what's causing this?
Firstly you don't really need to install any GPS software, htc's own software comes preinstalled.
& i've had the resending messages problem a few times but after the latest OTA update it hasn't happened at all
