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)?

I haven't heard anyone say that they started getting the SMS outbox issue after applying the radio update. Ive never has that issue.

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...?

Not sure if there will be anymore ROM updates in 2006. Pretty much manufacturers will concentrate on their new releases.
Yes, when the 1.13 ROM was released, I heard rumours that that was the last update we're getting.
I believe you guys are right, the Magician has reached the end of its life span. But there never was a generic WWE version of the 1.13, only a few localized builds, right? And how about that weird Radio 1.13? It was never used in an official build.
Looks to me like they just suddenly said 'enough is enough' and then pulled the plug on the Magician...
Am I missing something ?
Hiya,
I saw you guys talking about Rom v1.13 and as far as I know, there is only Rom v1.12 WWE.
Is there any new release ?
Regards,
Bright Star
What exactly do you want? My 1.12 Rom together with the Radio 1.13 works just perfectly, nothing to complain about. Why people always want updates just for the updates' sake? I think we should be happy that we got such a good support for the Magician in the past - this is not common with all Pocket Pcs. I am completely satisfied with my Magician and the current software.

The Magician still has a lot of bugs. The more you push your device, the more bugs you will find. Just check around and you will know. But there's also quite a few silly bugs, that should have been fixed ages ago.
For example:
1. A generic bug that everyone have (to the best of my knowledge): if you are in the inbox while receiving a message, the envelope at the top of the screen will have to be removed manually, since it doesn't go away automatically after you have read the message.
2. A more specific bug. I believe this one is related to the setup of your telephony provider, but I am not quite sure. Still, it is a Magician-only bug: After a reboot, a text message will have to be received before the device is 100% logged onto the network. Until then calls can't go through, but are automatically transferred to voice mail. I have this specific bug and replacing the handset didn't help. Neither did upgrading the ROM.
So saying that ppl want updates just for the updates sake, simply isn't true.

1. I haven't noticed this.
2. This doesn't happen with mine.
Jeez, guys! Just because you haven't 'noticed' something, doesn't mean it isn't there! I have been a software developer and professional bug hunter since 1996, so I notice these things, simply because it's my job.
It's also my job to narrow down the bug as much as possible, and in case of bug #2, I can tell you it's related to the Magician being listed as 'busy' on some centrals until the first message is received. So for those of you on centrals with this problem (Ericsson?), just disable the 'forward on busy' setting and you should be ok...
HBK, have you seen any other people on other providers have this bug? I've never heard of it.
The message icon I know only too well, though. It annoys me but it's not a huge issue.
I'm still on 1.11WWE with radio 1.13. Haven't felt a need to upgrade to 1.12 or even the T-mobile (or whatever) 1.13.
I run heaps of programs, many made by small developers that can be a little unstable and not install too neatly but aI gotta say that the operating system isn't bad compared to Microsoft's usual standard of bugs. You just gotta take a look at the latest WMF exploit in XP, 2000 SP4 etc. They'll never get that operating system right! Ok, so can't really compare the 2 but I can't say something good about Microsoft without bashing them in the same post! That's just not me!
HBK,
No offence, but error 2 seems to be very specific though must be highly irritating when you have it. Course there are many bugs, some M$ , some Magician related. Guess we all have to live with them forever, development won't ever be faultless due to several money related aspects of which I'm sure you will encounter in your work too.
Bottomline: my Nokia's have been much more stable & reliable. My Magician is much more capable & fun and my greatest irritation is the number of soft-resets a day due to a hanging camera app. or memory leaks. Sure it's partially all my third party apps & it's a (P)PC with a M$ OS, so I won't recommend a PPC to someone who just wants a phone with some extra's. Much to unreliable/unstable/frustrating. To me it's a hobby & I can live with it. When a patch comes along I try it & judge for myself. Still I'm quite happy with it.
Can't really make out if you're pissed or not (think not), if you are pls try to relax &, I know it's difficult, try to forget your work a bit & have fun with your magician it is possible ;-)
Cheers, M
@jimmy-bish
Actually, I have heard of a few other ppl here in DK having this problem, but it is very rare. That is also the reason why everyone, including the (German) technician who worked on my Magician, thought it was a hardware bug and replaced the motherboard. This means that now I only have the cover left of my original Magician, the rest has been replaced, but still the problem remains...
I have given up on Radio 1.13, since is was never officially released. Instead I am running the latest NL release of 1.13 with Radio 1.12 and Big Storage. Only the MMS part of the Ext. ROM is installed. All in all I believe this to be the best solution, running the latest released software with as few addons as possible.
MS is like a woman: you can't live with MS, and you can't live without! Even though they create heaps of problems, I sure am happy they are here, providing a lot of software we use everyday.
@oltp
Yes, it IS very specific. But please notice that I am not running my Magician on some home made network. I am a costumer of the largest mobile telephony provider in Denmark. This means that they run officially released software on their centrals and thus each and every phone released should be able to run on it, without any exception. Of course it is the responsibility of the phone manufacturer to make sure their product runs under all normally occuring circumstances and in this case, they have failed to do so. So there you have it, a bug in the Magician.
No, I am not pissed off. Although a bit frustrated, perhaps
I can confirm that both bugs exist and still.
You still have to seperate between bugs that are caused by the OS and cannot be corrected by manufacturer specific updates and bugs that are caused by the hardware, which certainly also cannot be corrected by an update. Besides that both bugs don't sound anywhere severe to me, the first one must be OS specific, the second one - well, I didn't ever realize it and never had this behavior. My device logs into the network without problems and without having to receive any messages. I never heard about or experienced myself problems with incoming calls.
I would recommend everyone to use Radio 1.13 since 1.12 was really crappy and 1.13 made a big difference for me and many others. Since that version, I don't have anything to complain about anymore.
dandie, what specific issues did the Radio 1.13 solve for you?
Please notice that the two bugs mentioned were only used as examples. They were just on top of my head. I believe a good handfull of other bugs are already described on this forum. No doubt a lot of people experience other bugs every day, but just aren't as loud about it.
@Dandie
Of course both bugs are Magician specific, or they would have been well known on all MS Mobile sites, regardles of devices. Just like the one with the SD card being deleted by WM2003SE, from time to time.
What do you mean that it isn't a severe problem if you can't receive calls on your phone? Are you kidding?
In many countries, including Denmark, ppl on average send/receive hundreds of messages each month, so bug #1 is a problem many times each day for a lot of us.
So what is a severe problem then? Does the device have to explode in your face on a daily basis or something like that?
I used the Radio 1.13 for several months and even though it seemed ok, it didn't fix any problems. So I went back to the latest Radio released, the 1.12.
I've owned my Rogers Dream (rooted, no custom ROM) for a couple of weeks now - this bug has been around since the start but it's getting worse these days and it's really starting to bother me.
Basically what happens is I'll get the notification for a text message. I can see the summary in the notification bar (with the new message), but when i open a messaging app (the default one or Chomp) the message won't be there. SMS Popup will also just display the previously most recent SMS in the conversation.
It seems like the system just isn't saving the message. Besides for the notification (which disappears after i clear), it's as if I never got the message. It kind of sucks...
My searching skills came up with nothing so i'm wondering - has this happened to anyone else - any idea what the reason could be - please let me fix this.
Thanks!
Well blyn100, interesting you should point this flaw out. I have a similar issue, but so far only 1 contact has given me this same summary with no msg. Trying to figure out the source of this problem, right now I have one suspicion. A few times, i think i received these msg's after being in a no service area. I am curious if this might be a possibility for you?
Also, I have similar phone setup as you, ie same stock Rogers ROM, obviously since no choice...yet.
i have the same issue
i had a thread started, but no response yet as to how to fix this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542178&highlight=SMS+issue
but now it seems like more and more ppl are having this issue (or it is more apparent)
its the same with Chomp, handcent, even the native app
Looks like this is mostly just a Rogers issue then?
Most of mine are occuring when I have pretty good reception, so I think i can confirm that that's not it.
Proccessor usage / avaiable RAM is what I'm leaning towards though. I might try uninstalling the virtual keyboard to free up some RAM and see if it helps anything.
Or just a bug in the stock ROM. Seems like for this to happen, the network is sending the message to the device and the device just forgets to save it, but confirms to the network that it got it. Still, i have a hard time believing a problem like this would suddenly appear for the Rogers build.
I had like 3 dropped ones last night, it's starting to get really annoying.
Are you sure it's not the timestamp bug? Look further up in your conversation to see if SMS' have been inserted there.

Yup, i checked all of the conversations, this isn't the case for any of them.

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
Reply
it becomes
Reply
Me
Reply
Me
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
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.

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.

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.

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
I am aware that many HD2 users are having this problem, but its getting to the point that its really pissing me off! My sim card is almost falling apart because of the amount of times im having to take it out and put it back in just to send messages!
Are there any solutions? other than turning off HTC Sense?
Thanks ppl.
1st thing to know: Which ROM Version are you using?
2nd thing: Did you install the SMS hotfix from HTC?
3rd thing: Are your sms center settings okay for your provider?
4th thing: I wrote a few hundreds SMS since I have the HD2 and there has never been a single problem with sending.

i updated to 1.66 and although i only used it for a day because my unit was a duff one, the problem seemed to go. Upgrade if you can as i've heard that 1.66 fixes it.
In the mean time you don't need to take your sim out.
This worked for me:
When messages get stuck in oubox:
soft reset. Send txt message to self, this will then release the stuck messages.

That doesnt sound like the same problem everyone else had. Everyone else just restarted the phone and they sent, no need to take out the sim card.
I had exactly the same problem (although it couldn't be fixed by removing and reinserting the SIM, or restarting the phone)
I tried absolutely everything, and i was never ever able to send a text.
However i did fix it by getting a new SIM from my network, i don't know whether what they told me is true but apparently some older 32bitSIM's are incompatable but the newfangled 64bit ones are.
once i inserted the new SIM i have had absolutely no sms issues
Skycamefalling:
1) ROM Version: 1.43.405.1 (70124)
2) No i havent installed the hotfix, where can i find it?
3) Yes i imagin they are the same as i haven't changed anything...
And bubblubbly, thats the first thing Vodafone did wen i reported the problem to then months ago, they sent me a new sim but it didn't make a difference at all.

1) Update to the latest ROM for your country (should be 1.66 I guess). Before updating, please backup your data, because the Phone-Memory will be deleted.
2) At the HTC Homepage www.htc.com. Same as where you'll find your ROM update.
3) Hmm...would be good to know for sure. But try the ROM-Update first.
