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 !
Hi all,
appreciate your kind advice.. hard resetting to install ROM is always a chore and i wish to make sure there is reason to do so..
am on 1.48 stock now and should i change to stock 1.66?
the description of HTC leaves more ? for me..
any kind experts know of the improvement it brings?
i saw HTC release yet another SMS update.. Duh does the 1.66 require all those crazy updates?
hi experts do help to advise if the upgrade is worth it.. the pain of hardreset is terrible,.,
Think it depends on your expectations. If you read through the lots of 1.66-ROM-Threads around here, you can see that the big majority would suggest to upgrade because the performance went better. Beneath that also the HotFixes are implemented and you are so able to save a lot of disk space on your phone. I tried the WWE-version of the ROM and I really liked it - includes also several bug-fixes that are quite annoying with 1.48. e.g. the lock-bug. We don't have this ROM here in GER already and I can't wait to install our final release!

It's definitely better, and I've only seen a couple of minor gripes about it since it came out. I'd expect the forum to be full of complaints if it wasn't doing a decent job.
ok.. today shall be a hard reset day for me...
Cool, will prolly update my (mostly patched) 1.43 to 1.66 today aswell, thx for the infos de Wolfe & johncmolyneux
Yeah I really like the 1.66 WWE ROM. I went from the 1.48 WWE rom to 1.66 and haven't had any regrets! Performance is idd better, bluetooth problem for me, seems to be gone (It wouldnt go up from time to time), and no sms bug....yet :O
--edit
I only have it 3 full days installed, so maybe my perspective will change :x (i hope not!)
I would suggest looking if you have any problems with 1.48, if you don't then stay with it. I upgraded from 1.48 to 1.66 (admittedly my SMS always sent and i havent tried bluetooth at all yet) but 1.66 has an annoying bug with text messages where it selects the message you are replying to.
If you're replying to a message when the previous messages in that conversation are finished loading the screen will scroll to the message you're replying to meaning the the text entry box isn't visible on the screen any more. Just an annoyance which HTC apparently call a feature - it would be a feature if it were immediate but not when you're already typing. But it is annoying not critical to phone use.

i concur, how can that be a feature when i cant even see what I'm typing
Ive upgraded with 1.66 my HD2 is from the UK.
seems pretty stable for now, did revert the back up of my SMS and it is stable i'd say.
however, i can see the following on the field to enter the number when u select a new SMS or compose sms. it says "limited to 10 recipients" which i did not notice on 1.48 ROM. is this normal, does any one of you have it too..
cheers

That is normal mate. The restriction was already there before but it didn't advertise it. You can increase it to 50 with BsB Tweaks (for Christmas and New Year )
lol i like this christmas and ny !!
so all in all, the benefits should be more than cons.. versus 1.48

Definitely. I've only seen people complaining about 1 thing consistently, and it's just a new "feature". When you reply to a text, it automatically highlights the text that you're replying to, even if you'd already started typing. It's hardly the end of the world - you just open the keyboard again and you're back in the reply box.
Other than that, I've only seen 1-off issues, none of which are showstoppers.
It's worth it just for the silkiness aspect. It's smooth as anything now

i takes about 5 minutes, and after restoring everything with spb backup, witch takes about 5 minutes, phone is exactly as it was before with all settings tweaks etc, plus new firmware

Yes mate, but I've never had a problem installing it anyway. Maybe you should look for a different cab. I've heard of people having issues installing .Net 3.5 before now and it's always been resolved by finding a different cab.

This, I often flash whilst at work, and it takes longer to download a new ROM than to get my phone exactly I want it again.
I use PPCPimBackup for texts/contacts.
Yes, (I believe) the "limited to 10 recipients" is normal for SMS with the 1.66 Upgrade, AND we've seen it before.
On the 14 Jan 2010 - see "Update for HTC HD2 – New SMS Function Update [14.01.2010]" thread started by Irbperia - HTC issued an SMS Update which was shortly afterwards withdrawn - probably a hasty precursor to the 1.66 ROM Upgrade which followed. It also added the "limited to 10 recipients" to SMS.
Having had my own fair share of HD2 grief, I've been following this forum for a while now looking for answers and I think that thanks to HTC's hasty pre-Christmas release of the HD2 - before its ROM was really ready - we're all getting a little paranoid in thinking any little quirk might be yet another bug.
The 1.66 ROM Upgrade seems to have sorted out most issues and (for me at least) the phone was great even with its false start but now it's a real pleasure to use. Maybe we should all relax a little and enjoy what is still arguably the very best WinMo phone out there !!!
All power to you HTC ... (but I hope you're learning from your mistakes and Production please resist being bullied into another premature release by Marketing)

Reading this I just did a backup using my SPB backup and did a upgrade to 1.66 from 1.48.
Upon restoring the my backup sense no longer works. It was lightly tweaked.
Just saying, there are potential problems. In the process of working out the problems ATM...
This post is dedicated to all who have problems with incoming SMS notification while PPC is in sleep mode.
It should be read by rom developers also to be able response on user reports.
Last time I tried new roms and found that while PDA is in sleep mode, new SMS doesn't fire sound notification often. Sound was played just after waking device up. But in sleep mode delay was unacceptable: from seconds up to hours (means never).
I reported this issue to all devs of roms I've tested. without any result. Other users reported that it works for them fine.
I did some tests and found that the reason is 'a lot of SMS' probably in conjunction to HTC Messaging. I have to be fair and use 'probably' word, because I didn't tested it on ROM versions without HTC Messaging yet (I'll do that as fast as possible)
However a few rom ago I used ROM w/o this program and noticed none of described issue.
Tests:
I did tests by sending SMS through internet SMS gateway.
PDA has been located in way, making possible to hear noise of incoming SMS from speakers
I've tested it on Roms: Energy, Grzegorz10, XanyTech.
Finally I've tested threaded and normal mode (w/o difference)
Result of tests gives the clue:
PDA responses on new SMS immediately when
- PDA is just after flashing
- after removing all SMS messages
When in inbox/set box is a lot of messages (more than 300 in my case) - the issue I just described appears.
maxym, i also have this issue with several tested rom's. this is one of the reasons that i am trying new rom's to solve this problem. i will try to empty my message box to see if this solve the problem
Just to add my own 2 cents to it, I have faced the same problem with Miri's Manila 2.5 v19 no HTC messaging.
Here are my observations
1. I upgraded to Radio 1.17 and problem disappeared but battery life was HORRIBLY. Battery life with 1.13 is fantastic for me so shifted back to 1.13.
2. With Radio 1.13, after each reset or restart, if I receive and read one message (from any other phone. I usually send a sms from wives phone to mine) then all the rest I receive till next restart, I get notification even when my phone is in standby.
I am just about to try Kwbr's Rhodium 1.3 Rom (with sense 2.1) to see if its the same case and report back (will again use my favourite 1.13 Radio)
Edit: No problems so far with Kwbrs Rhodium Rom version 1.3 while using Radio 1.13 with GREAT battery life!
I have try and almost empty my messages but seems that this did not help. again i have to power on the HD to receive the notification for a new message.
Is there any solution or any suggestion to try?
Thanks

try disable on Settings/Battery panel the "Automatically adjust backlight" or similar, i red about LookUp issoue.
if problem not solved, flash not cooked ROM, and than cooked ROM, or change Radio ROM.
I have the same Problem and just discoverd this thread.
I'm on Blackstonehenge Hyper 1.5, HTC Messaging Client is 3625.
Auto Adjust Backlight is turned off, and also changing the time until Device goes to Standbymode didnt do anything to me. I seriously hope anyone will be able to fix this.
Tested it with Radio 1.13 , 1.15, 1.17 . Before every single Flash i used Task29 to clear up the Partition.
Any other ideas?
I had the same problem with version 2014.2622
I deleted all messages - also the deleted files (!!!)
Then I uninstalled HTC Messaging and installed version 2014.3625
Since then everything works normal - now one day.
Keeping fingers crossed.
With the Xennytech 2.8B I've got the same problem
Now I'm going back to the Xennytech 2.1B and sms notification working fine.
I removed the last HTC Messaging Client, i've tried - deacitivated sense, with Taskmanager killed the "Messages" Process and installed HTC Messaging from here , it's the HTC Messaging, used in Energy's Roms - this one is working for me and i know have my Notification. Hope it helps someone.
possible solution?
hi guys,
what about installing BsB Tweaks v1.6 and enable "SMS Wake Up" under "General"?
let me know
SMS Wake Up does work, Notifications will come immediatley than, but it will always turn the Screen on
I have also the similar problem to you guys. Running blackSTONEhenge™ HyPer v1.7 and Wajks HTC Messaging. Very annoying, but I will uninstall it, as Wajk made the ROM without HTC Messaging.
Just curious: Do you all use Co0kies Home Tab? I do, but don't know wether it can be the problem too?
No its not CHT - i always try this on empty clean Roms with just the default installed applications.
You can give me some Informations:
- How did you flash? with or without Task29? USPL or HSPL?
- Which Radio do you use? Which Rilphone Version?
- Which Operator do you have? Did you try updating your Operator Settings (Startmenu->Settings->Connections->Connection Setup->Menu->Update Database
Maybe we will find the Solution, till now only a few people seem to have this error - i guess it has something to do with the relation between Operator and new HTC Messaging

Hi, I removed HTC Messaging and it partially solved the problem - i can hear SMS notification sound, but the sign indicating a new SMS received is displayed only on the upper end of the screen as an envelope and not on the Messages icon as it once did - if before uninstalling HTCmessaging the sign showed up without a sound, now its the other way around.
Do you have any solutions for that?
Thank you,
Menash
hey guys... its good to know im not along with this problem...
same symptoms as what you guys describe, sms only get notified when you bring the phone out of sleep mode...
tried several roms... cloudy 2.2... energy... and all with same issues... always hard reset after new flash.. even went and task29 between each roms to make sure...
tried radio 1.17 and 1.14.... makes no difference...
atm.. only way around it for me... leave it plugged into usb all day... at least this way when i get a sms/msg it comes through when it should...
am i the only one to NOT have this problem??? i get the notification sound when a text comes thru in sleep mode fine. been using energy roms

Yea, but it always turns your screen on while receiving a message and thats also pretty annoying. I guess it's something HTC Settings Enhancement based. I compared different HTC Messaging Clients, but there arent so many different Registry-keys in them. Also NRG'z Client ist the only HTC Messaging Client working for me.
I tried five Clients from the new 1.8 Version, i tried a different rom,i flashed with and without Task29, i tried different Radios - nothing seems to work, and nobody seems to care.
I will stay on NRG'z Messaging Client, cause im sick of flashing because of this Error.

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 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...
Hello all, I have a big issue with this tilt 2 and that is the sms sent and pressing "X" to go back in the inbox of sms messages, it lags for a good 10-20 and sometimes the whole screen would freeze up because of this.
So I recently bought a tilt 2 and the seller told me he flashed it to a new rom which whenever I turn the phone on, it says Energy Rom so does anyone have a solution to this sms sent lag other than deleting all text messages daily, please help!
Thank you all in advance for your time and suggestions!
Sending a TXT isn't instant... it takes a little bit to log in, transmit, and finish sending the TXT message.. that is most likely the 10-20 sec of "lag" you are experiancing... I use the Energy line of roms myself... and I feel they are the best over all roms out there... period.

And it has nothing to do with the crappy htc sms client? come on it isn't normal that you have to wait 10-20 seconds when you send a sms.

I'd have to agree. A SMS is about 1/7th of a kilobyte and a kilobyte is practically nothing. Sending a SMS doesn't cause a lag. I've been sending SMS since 1998 and WM wasn't even an option back then. It's all Microsoft and their crap OS.
I have to agree, it is the crappy htc sms client to blame, so I'm guessing noone have found a solution to this yet? Have you guys tried to hotfix from htc site?
I owned the tilt 1 and there was no lag at all in sms.
Ok, this is going to sound stupid but I'm not familiar with these types of ROM, such as Energy Rom. Is that the same as Manila 2.5? Or are they completely different?

What Exactly Do You Need Help With?
Maybe I Could Try To Help You.
I am attempting to change the interface on my tilt 2 to android or something else so the sms in threaded mode won't lag and plus im tired of the WinMo appearance. =)
Thank you for your time!
Hi I have the same problem as you and it drives me crazy. tell me if im correct: You are complaining about the fact that after you press x to close a threaded text conversation it lags getting back to the inbox. On mine everything changes back to the inbox except for the top of the screen and then it just sits there till it eventually goes bqck. Your not reffering to how long it takes for you friend to receive the text, correct? Ive tired installing the most current sms program from htc that was taking from another phone and although it looked much niicer and had some cool features it didnt work right and i had to switch back. Maybe somone reading this can suggest something. It sdriving me crazy. as far as changing from the windows look which either you mean what they call titanium which is that homescreen where you have everything in alist and you can scroll up and own through it or do you you mean what they call touch flo or sense where you move along the bottom of the screen through tabs? either way i would highly recomend spb mobile shell which will make your phone similar to android layout. It works great and is reqally easy to customize everything. or at least touch flo/sense with what they call cookies home tab which helps you customize your home screen. Let me know whcih one you have and which one you want and ill help you. I dont know how to program but i do know how to use the phone well, and customize it thanks to all the developers here who provide us with so much to do it with.
@ swaters3, yes that is exactly the probably with sms, it takes forever to go back to inbox screen and it freezes up. I'm not should what layout I have but its WinMo and the previously owner changed the rom the Energy Rom, if that matters. As for the Android layout, I heard I can do a dual boot where I can keep both WinMo and Android on the tilt 2. I was thinking, if I can boot to android that the sms will function right. As of now, I am still stuck with tilt 2 lagging sms threaded mode. Frustrating.
Do you hava a lot of sms or e-mail saved on the phone? That can cause it to bog down.
Yeah, but I originally owned the tilt 1 and had over 4,000 text message and encounter no problem sending out text messages.

i wish someone could help us with the lag, lately ive just learnt to be patient, though that is a little ridiculous. There is a sms program from htc (thecompany that makes the phone) that is much nicer and did not have the lag. I did have some other issues but maybe it will work for you. Search in xda for updated htc sms app and see if you can find it. as far as anroid goes I am trying to get mine to work properly and have still not got it to connect to sprint. Its a work in progress and not everything works so i dont think you would want to switch to it permanently. Give it a shot though its very cool and gets better every few days. As of know I think the camera is still not working but most everything else is. I would recomend spb mobile shell. watch some videos on youtube although you will be able to customize it yourself completely. Youll need to play with it to figure out how to customize it but its pretty easy just drag and drop type of stuff with anything on the phone. It looks and works like android but youll still be suing windows mobile. Its works great for me and i wouldnt be able to keep this phone if not for it. I hope that helps.
