Receive sms ONLY when not on Standby

HELP!
I only receive SMS only when the screen is lighted. If my HD is on standby the whole day, I wouldnt receive a single SMS. THis is irritating. Whenever I ON my screen, I would receive a couple of msgs at one go, all timed hours ago. Its really irritating!!!
Anyone experience the same issue???

are u using phoneLog for logging calls and sms to calendar? I experienced this - and sometimes even did not receive any sms - when I used that app ...

Nope, non of the above... have been using HD for a month plus.. still not receiving sms when on STANDBY with screen OFF... sigh.. I on my screen every couple of mins to ensure im not missing a reply to someone's sms... ugghhh!

Is this when your in vibrate mode or normal? For vibrate to work I found you have to enable it in the sound settings. This is not normally needed but for some reason you have to on our devices :S

My Touch HD is back in its box precisely because SMS (text) messages did not alert me to their arrival when the HD was in standby.
I tried all the suggestions made by other posters, including hard reset, but none worked reliably. Reading some of the posts reveals that this bug has existed since the Diamond came out but HTC is in no hurry to fix it.
I can't tell whether any of the 'ROMs' that others produce will cure this problem and am left with an expensive paperweight.
For the time being, I am back using my Treo 680, which has no problems with SMS. Sadly, I shall have to abandon it eventually because Palm does not intend to produce 64bit drivers to enable synchronization. Ah, well, nothing's perfect!

OMG! thats sad! but seriously Im feeling the same.. sometimes when i go out, i switch to a cheap basic spare fone (LG KP110). its sms is way more reliable.. I bought the HD at SG$1250 and yet I cant receive SMSs.. sighz.. tot of selling it away.. but not.. but yes.. maybe not.. sighz...

same here
I have the same issue. Randomly SMS sound does not play until i turn on the screen. I m using stock 1.56 UK Rom. I have a friend at the office with same phone and he is facing the same problem.
All settings are correct. It's obvious because lot of times i get the sound notification while in standby mode....
Don't know what to do.....cheapest phones do this right...

That is so true! i totally agree.. Sometimes it goes back to basic.. the HD gets too complicated that it doesnt even know how to notify its owner of an incoming sms.. this sucks big time.. till this very day I haf to on and off my screen every 10mins to ensure i dun miss a single sms..

If you use HD Tweak, there is an option to set the HD to wake up and notify you when it receives an SMS...

is there a way i can receive an sms with a sound notification instead of the whole phone waking up with screen lit?

is there a way to shorten the vibration when an SMS comes in? the HD vibrates quite long and strong for a single SMS. Just curious. Might help abit in saving battery's life.

Hi, I had this problem after I installed the WWE 1.14 for Middle East, especially after installing the official Arabic Lang. update from HTC !!! When I wake up the Phone from the stanby mode I Receive all the incoming messages at once and the Phone plays the SMS alert !
After Hard resetting the phone and installing a new ROM (1.19 WWE for Hong Kong) the problem didnt go till I went to Settings---> Sounds and Notifications-----> new SMS----> Disable Alert, Vibrator, Falshing Light !!! Basically disable everything and press OK to return to the touch FLO home.
After that, Go again and enable the SMS notification with or without Vibration as you like and it will work !!!
Now, I discovered that any programm that is not made buy a software house, I mean programms made by home developers prematurely screw your system especially programms that interfere with the Windows Shell and System processes and Alerts !!!
My advice is Install a fresh new WWE rom (1.19), if the alert didnt work, Go disable the Alert, press ok, return to home screen, then go back and enable it and it will work !! it seems that there are some things that does not change in the phone settings even if you hard reset or install a new ROM !!!!
For 1.19 WWE and some other Roms, Dont close SMS application directly after sending a message, just press the Home button to return back ! the SMS application interface will stay in the bakground and wont take more than 1% from your free memory ! I noticed even on my current 1.19 rom is if I send an SMS and diredcly Click the X to close the application after sending the message it will cause the phone not to receive next sms untill I open the SMS application !!! Any how, you can close it after a minute if it bothers you to keep it in the background.
I hope this helps !!! I used Duttys 1.17 and faced the 'Coruppted Ringtone problem', that the phone wont ring and switch to a default ring that is not loud and made me miss calls, only soft reset solved it but it came back every 2 weeks !!! no body could solve it even Dutty dont know what is the problem !!!
At the end it is a phone !!! should call, Ring, Send and Receive calls perfectly !! Any Small Samsung or Nokia or SonyEricsson phone worth 100 $ could do the job perfectly while we pay 800 $ for this HD and it cant ring o receive SMS !!!
Therfore, my advice is to use Stock Rom and dont install any programm that is made at home !!! or any other programm that interere with the system process and alerts or Language !!! Do not play with memory management or registry settings !!!
To customize my phone I installed SPB shell and its wonderfull and better than Touch flo except for the Music Player as you will have to use Window Media !!!
Goo Luck

Another tip,
Go to the registry using registry editor and change si follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
Locate DisableSMSWakeUpEvent entry, and change its value to 0 (the value is 1 by default).
Hope this helps

I suggest that you change your rom

I support this view. Don't be disheartened as probs like this rarely have anything to do with hardware and are generally software bugs which are cured by just updating to official / custom ROM. (this is the best and yet worst part of thing called Micro$oft )
Please read pros and cons of flashing roms well before trying anyhing !

Problems Opening e-mail (from HTC Sense)

Hi all, I have recently changed my HTC HD for an HTC HD2, but nearly immediately, still without adding any thirdy party program I am nearly systematically facing with the following problem
I am failing opening the received emails (using Microsoft Excange Server Setting) using HTC Sense (i.e. I mean by clicking on the e-mail).
The only way to read emails is then go to the email tab then select ALL from the left bottom corner and then press one of the email in the proposed list to read/open it. This is my actual configuration:
OS = 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82), Manila = 2.5.192116190, ROM = 1.48.408.1 (71294) ITA, ROM Date = 11/16/09,Radio = 2.05.51.05_2, Protocol = 15.28.50.07U.
Can someone help me ?
Many thanks in advance for your kind support ))
Cheers,
Max

I am experiencing the -exact- same problem.
Going to the email tab and tapping on the envelope on the screen does nothing. I can see that it registers the tap, since the envelope 'bounces'. The email doesn't open up like it normally would though.
I have no clue why this keeps hitting me :S I have tried hard resetting 4 times, and it keeps happening.
Someone please provide some insight in to what is breaking in Sense when it comes to the 'open email' functionality.
OS: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.48.403.1 (71294) DAN
ROM Date: 11/20/09
Radio: 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol: 15.28.50.07U.

Tap Start, then Lock. Unlock your device and hopefully bug is gone (till it next appears and you redo the steps).

This very bug has appeared with 1.48 ROMs...
Together with another bug: The lockscreen did not work unless you would force the device to lock using the soft button from the start menu.
Once done, the lockscreen bug plus the mail not opening bug magically disappeared, but I have not seen any thread so far with a clear explanation for the exact reason...

It fixed

Well I don't know what this will do...but what ever it fixed the issue, I never had that issue with version 1.43 and I have updated ROM to 1.48...did that bring in that bug ?

Wow, it worked. Can't believe it was that simple. I guess this will be fixed by HTC in the next ROM update. Seems to be related to the autolock when you put the device in standby, which explains the randomness to some extent...
Thanks tnyynt!

Hi guy, let me try then I was becoming crazy as I did several hard resets attempting to identify which (installed) programs may generate this issue, so installing one by one, resetting etc. but without effect. Suddenly the problem re-appears ... I will re-install everything and let you known accordingly. Anyway just for your info I have opened an official ticket on HTC website about this topic: they suggested me to reset, install latest hotfixes and the new ROM, that today seems to be disappeared from the site, but obviously they did not solve my issue yet :-(

Hi guys, I have terminated the re-installation of all my preferred software but this time, following tnyynt indications, before all I have installed the following CAB I found here: "Touch X autolock disable". As result, during the installation of each program and in the end once terminated the restoring of all my preferred applications it seems the problem does not occur anymore so apparently without the need to do the trick suggested by tnyynt. I would you suggest to try ... just in case it works for you too Thanks again tnyynt

But you've obviously read the whole thread and therefore know how to fix the issue?

Just come across this issue a few days back, but with a twist -
Firstly the lock/unlock fix detailed on the previous page does not work for me, nor a soft reset. I am loathe to hard reset, since I am suffering none of the other issues many people are (sms etc).
As described on the previous page; on the email tab of HTC Sense the email does register the request to open, as it "bounces" when tapped, but will not open in poutlook.
I noticed it, but wrote it off as one of the many quirks of these phones, expecting all to be well in a few hours. But after almost a week I noticed I was not receiving mail at all. Wanting to check the settings, I opened Pocket Outlook via the start menu, and found that all of my mail accounts had disappeared! Leaving the default outlook demo account only. But I can still view and scroll through (but not open) existing mail via Sense.
I know I am going to have to HR, but I am curious to know if anyone else has suffered the issue, and if a trigger/solution has been found.

Thanks, never seen this program before. It worked, to a degree. It restored my folders to Poutlook, but the restored accounts have lost the connection settings (pop,smtp). I think that was user error though
Thanks for taking the time to upload

I should have said, that this prog is mainly for making lost accounts visible again in order to delete them afterwards with the same prog (like in the case when they where visible in manila but not in outlook). Never tried to use a repaired account again (always deleted them and created a new one). But if you say, you only needed to reenter the connection-settings... nice to know that this works

Same Problem in my Verizon Rhodium Wit March 7th Energy Maxmanila ROM
same problem for me. I even tried hardreseting and reinstalling the rom witjout any succes. The lock Unlock suggestion doesn´t work for me. Any clue?

Do *anyone's* LED notifications work???

Despite doing the registry tweak suggested in the FAQ (point 24, I think), and using various cabs suggested here in the forum, my LEDs have yet to work for email or SMS notification. I've been using WinMo phones for a few years, so the failure isn't due to my "noobhood".
I find it astounding these phones were released without this working. Anyone got anymore wisdom concerning how to get these to work?

If you're referring to the green LED blinking when you have an unread SMS message or missed call, mine has been working from day one, without any tweaks.

Mine has worked from day one as well, except for when I receive an email.

i installed the cab, then realised i really didnt need it. uninstalled and it still flashes when i get an sms.

I used BsB Tweaks to enable the options under the windows "Sounds and Notifications" panel (they were unusable, grey) and set the respective entrys to "infinite" (or unlimited, however its called in english). Now they work like a charm and the LED blinks to the end of the day.

Mine has worked from day one.........but only had it one week

It works. Without any tweaks. But the orig. hotfix from HTC is installed...

It works for SMS, missed calles etc. Has anyone got it working yet for new emails received?

Mine works from the beginning too, but I am interested in making notification LED work with Skype. I asked twice already and no response.

I don't use pop email so I don't know about that, but for me it works for calls and sms

Hmmm, mine's never worked, and not even after a hard reset, so it's either hardware or the ROM I'm using (that Turkish 1.61). Time to go ROM hunting, I guess.
From the answers here, it's still not clear whether the LEDs work for email (POP or IMAP) or not.
Thanks all.

Mine works when it want to. Very intermittent.

Sorry to bump this up for my own selfish purposes, but after switching to a different ROM, the email LED still doesn't work (even with the various registry tweaks and cabs).
Just trying to get a definite answer from a broader range of users: does the LED notification work for new emails on anyone's HD2?
Thanks, and sorry for being annoying.

works for sms and missed calls but not for emails. this has been since day 1.
i think until someone creates an app, or htc releases an enhancement you won't be seeing this functionality for email.

I've had an extended email correspondence with an HTC tech today concerning the non-working email LED notification: He swears up and down that *his works perfectly*, so until such time as he (and HTC) gets more complaints, they won't be pursuing it.

Really? I wonder what the difference is. I've tried 4 different ROMs, including 1.48 hoping to get this working. After flash, I add *nothing*, hoping to see if an unadulterated machine might work. No dice. Then I add BsB and add the tweaks. Still nothing.
I'm not obsessed: just work in a completely quiet profession where alarms are taboo.
Anybody got wisdom on this?

when its not working you surly messed up your registry.
For not so advanced users and people how are lazy to read a complete post for a tweak (and are installing cabs which might not been written for your Rom or manila version) i recommend to modify the registry only manualy with a registryeditor. So you can control what is changed (and change back if needed).
To activate led notification use the registryhacks which are posted in this forum so many times.
And yes, you can change almost every event notification which is listed in your soundsettings menu (email too)
A old but goody post i found in this forum:

[SOLVED] phone bug with miri 1.2 and dutty

After flashed Dutty Miri or restored only contacts the service MyPhone pimbackup. Send or receive a phone call from people fav the phone goes crazy: I can not open dialer, the phone does not react to incoming calls and exit from standby is slow. sometimes by pressing a hbutton from standby only LEDs are activated and I have to hold endkey for 2 seconds to reactivate the HD2.
To restore the phone function must Softreset.
One way to reproduce it is to make a call from a fav people number and answer on hd2, hang up and quickly and hang up on HD2 too.
Please someone can do tests to find out what is wrong?
I hope I made myself understood, despite my English
New build have issue with Sandisk 8gb ! now with a kingstone all work, and the sandisk works in my hd.
Format dont solve,hw issue!

My phone work fine in 2 roms but I like dutty rom.

yesterday i flashed the miri 1.2
i will let you know after some use

Not being rude, but you will get a better chance and better answer from posting in Miri's or Dutty's Thread. This is after all where you downloaded it from, and more users of that ROM will follow that thread.

There are some times probs when restoring backed-up data with some 3rd party programs, that's why I strongly advice you to back up everything you need/want with activesync and outlook plug-ins. In this case you will never have probs again no matter what rom you are using!!!
Hope that helped you
cheers

Can you keep discussions about particular roms in that roms thread please?

cprog.exe bug?
ok, the problem is related to cprog(is it the phone application?)
just plaing with call(like make a call, hang up quikly and press the green send button on screen) make impossible to open dialer since softreset.

also Xannytech 1.1
I tried XannyTech 1.1 and same issue,just typing number randomly on dialpad and it freeze, other app works, but the dialer stop working and phone don't react at incoming calls.
Is it possible that is a bad flash of hspl?

A few bugs ive noticed... Any fixes?

Hello, i am running 1.66 rom on a generic htc hd2 with a t-mobile contract.
I cant update to the very latest rom because theyve only released it for branded phones!
The first bug ive comes across is the Facebook profile pictures in my favourites list sometimes switch around betweeen different people, so say joe's profile picture appears on bills name! happens every so often, and its very irritating. the only solution is to delete both contacts and re enter them into the phone!
The second is when im texting, at the start of the text, after i have done a few characters, sometimes it scrolls up to the last text and selects it, meaning i can still type, but i cant see what im typing, the keyboard covers everything im typing.
Incredibly irritating, i then have to minimize the keyboard, then maximize it aagain.
Also, a new occurance, when i switch on my phone it says launching htc sence and stays there for ages, when i click the cross, i get onto my phone, its as if sence had already loaded and just not removing the message.
The next thing is the wifi, is it meant to switch off affter a while? my battery went from 100 percent to 0 in about 5 hours! (not even joking) i just leaave it off now..
OOh and whilst im at it, one more thing. Can you sync your emails over data conneection? It always displays 'synchronisation error' when ever i try to sync over data connection, but on wifi it connects and downloads perfectly!
Any ideas on any of these issues? has anyone else experienced them?
thanks in advance

I don't use the Facebook app as it is absolutely usless, but after a search I found this -'Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.'

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

I am assuming you have BSB Tweaks installed? If so you have the 'Wifi Standby' option in Connections selected on. If you don't have it, download it and make sure it's disabled.

I get this regularly (and also having the keyboard go mental sometimes, switching character sets, entering characters when I'm trying to backspace etc). Seems worse when the phone's hot or when I'm outside and it's windy! But that might just be a coincidence.
I actually sent the phone back to HTC a month or two ago (their customer service was fantastic btw - picked up the phone on a Monday, I had it back by Friday all by courier).
There was a note in there saying they'd reconnected the touchscreen. Everything seemed okay for a while but it's doing it again (I've never dropped the phone or anything). Wonder if it's a loose connector or something.
Mine's unbranded, so I'm waiting for the next ROM update (currently 1.66). If that doesn't fix it I'll ask for a replacement phone (not a fixed one).

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

thanks for the help! You say i would benefit from flashing a custom rom 235xx, what type of rom is that? for instance you have energy rom etc. Sorry if im sounding like a noob, but i like the original layout of my hd2, and dont want too change it too much if possible, but i would like the performance increases that come with it. thanks

253xx puts the Start button at the bottom of the screen and makes menus and scroll bars bigger, it's called WM 6.5.x.
219xx is the stock look with the Start button at the top and no so finger friendly menu systems.
That's the basics of the differences between them both.

ok thanks i think ill installl standard reference energy rom 235xx one.
Do i need to change my radio before i flash? i have hspl installed.
The reason being is that i have changed the radio rom before and the signal was no where near as good as the stock radio rom. So i flashed back.

If you have an international HD2 you have to install a 2.xx.50.xx radio before you flash the Energy ROM. if you leave a 2.xx.51.xx radio on the device you'll brick it.

ok thanks, im gonna update the rom now. The rom i have currently is far superior, but i will flash anyway and make the compromise.
Thanks

There was a note in there saying they'd reconnected the touchscreen. Everything seemed okay for a while but it's doing it again (I've never dropped the phone or anything). Wonder if it's a loose connector or something.
Mine's unbranded, so I'm waiting for the next ROM update (currently 1.66). If that doesn't fix it I'll ask for a replacement phone (not a fixed one).

Thank you for your feedback!
And also thank you the OP who posted about that SMS problem- which I kept reporting with no echoes.
1) Yeah "reconnected the touchscreen" my @ss. That problem was fixed as soon as I changed ROM.
2) "theres a patch for problem with SMS", my @ss, I installed it did not fix anything- Also, if you read the rom's releases notes everything is "fixing the sms". They forget to mention that they moved the "task manager" in rom 1.66 and changed a few other things-
3) i still had lot of bugs with that rom and device. Now some of them are removed and I'm using Artemis 22A- A few bugs but all minor so far- so I finally start to "enjo..."erm hard word to say after so many months of troubles.
4) also for the "quietly brilliant support" you mention, I would not be so happy if you really knows what happens there: it's likely they will swap your device with 2nd hand device as they discontinued the manufacture of new devices. Also they had shortage of 1 part and they took it from random devices...
My point is you also risk to get 2nd spares part or the whole 2nd hand part... not too nice as it does not means that the original fault/flaw is fixed, and its gambling until your warranty expires...
