hey guys, i having 2 issues when texting. i text using the t9 method but sometimes when i text it just types numbers although i have it set to "ABC" and its really starting to do my head in. the only way to fix this is to turn the phone off. also, when i add words thats not spelt right it wont save them for some reason, not ideal.......
any ideas how to fix this?, cheers...........
I'm experiencing this as well and in fact posted here last week. it happens to me with some regularity and would like to find a fix for it. like you, my unit requires a reboot before it can be completely co-operative.
there has to be a fix for this. im hitting the sack now, hopefully one of the more experianced users will come up with a way to sort this for us tomorrow......

When my signal fades, I get a beep and then an annoying message saying the signal faded and the call was lost. Not once did I not know that the call was lost. The beep doesn't bother me, and I saw how to get rid of the sound. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to get rid of the message. I hate dismissing messages that I don't want in the first place.
Anybody know how to do this?
ive never heard of this. maybe its time to get on a network that doesnt drop calls haha
the only thing i could think of would be to check your notifications settings and see if there is one in there
when you find out let me know because it is annoying

I work in the largest brick building in the district of columbia metropolitan area (so I've been told). 15 stories, and pretty wide. I don't think any network gets through all the concrete. So of course I can't resist calling my wife as I walk from one part of the building to the other. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly which areas are safe to walk and talk, hence the lost signal.

Yes, the notification settings. I wish I thought of that. Oh, wait a minute. I did think of that. I also thought about the phone settings. And searching for it. I thought I would try that too before starting the thread.
Today I thought about searching through the registry for "phone", and came across an interesting setting: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\PhoneExt\ ShowSignalFade = dword:00000001
I thought I would switch it to zero. I just walked around my building and lost a call. I got the beeping, but no notification. I think this may be the answer.
sorry i even tried to help, dude.

Suggesting that I change networks is not helpful. As far as the sarcasm, I apologize for any ill feelings. I was kinda put off with network comment. In any case, I think my previous post indidcates a fix, at least in my case.
Just thought I'd ask, I've upgraded to the latest Maintenance Release 1.56 and I am still loosing SMS messages. I don't get very many compared to most people, but today someone sent me a multi-part messages. I got parts (1/3) and (2/3) but never got (3/3) this is the same type of issue I was experiencing before the upgrade too.
I was curious is anyone else having these issues? The MR mentioned that it fixed an issue where SMS were not received due to FULL memory but I seriously don't that my phone memory is full, unless it's referring to more of a buffer, in which case it's apparently still not fixed.
Thanks
I had my phone off for about 1.5 hours while testing fresh rom 0.5 and received 13 texts when I turned it back on. None were missed.
no problems here

Yes I guess it is early I've fixed it now perhaps you could contribute your input on whether your getting all your txts? Thx!
I just had a friend send me a "long" 3 part txt all it send each part he ended with "END 1" "END 2" "END 3" based on character count. I only got parts 1 and 2.
Hah, sorry for being harsh.
Anyway, I haven't had any SMS problems both before and after the update. I've a friend in another state who has, however, and I believe after the update things were fixed.
Biggest plus in the update (and why I went through the hassle of leaving MoDaCo for Fresh) is the stereo sound output. I cant believe I didn't notice it was only sending mono sound.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Hi,
I have a problem every now and then on my focus that is pretty annoying and I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. Every now and then when typing something on my phone it will just hang for a second a ND completely miss like 3 or 4 letters completely. Ive also seen it hang a couple times with the letter above like I'm pressing it, and then it doesn't even type out that letter. Ive gotten a replacement phone already and I've seen it happen on my new one too. Its really annoying because I like this phone and wp7 a lot but it just annoys me to think this could happen at any time.
Mine was doing the same thing, but I thought it was because of the microsd card that i inserted
I have had minor hang-ups as well. I assume it is a small bug when the phone is uploading all the previous texts. It will probably be addressed in the new updates coming in january and february. You might want to clear your text conversations too.

Yeah I assumed its some kind of garbage clean up that's causing it, I don't think I'll return the phone because it happens somewhat rarely. Is there an official place to give MS feedback on stuff like this?
