sms with delay

Hi there, due to the fact that the search option doesn't work with less then 4 characters, i can't search for "sms".
But here's my real problem:
I've flashed different roms into my mda vario, after unlocking it. First the Molski.biz rom, then the last original t-mobile rom, but it was toooo slow, i've imediatly deleted it, en flashed the mr clean rom.
But in all roms i have some delay in recieving sms-messages.
Half the time they appear directly after they were sent by my friends, but sometimes i get them after a few hours. for example: it was sent at 15:00, and i received it at 17:30.
And sometimes i don't get any sms-messages, and after an soft-reset, i get 10 at one time, all delayed.
does anyone know what to do about it? or what causes it?
Regards,
Twan

i sometimes get this too though not often its usually when my phone loses signal and when it comes back into signal it wont recevie txt messages until i soft reset or send another txt out then ill get like 4 all at once lol.
Wizard isnt the best phone for txtin i must say as i send a good 1,000 txts a month and so far its poor.

Sounds like a network issue to me...
The network isn't registering the phone or something similar. For SMS the towers "push" the messages to the phone. Queuing them when they don't detect the phone on the network. If the phone is on the network and not getting the messages until it is reset and forced to re-acquire its signal than it is a network problem.
I've seen this problem on a few networks regardless of phone make and model.

I would agree with the above, its a provider issue not a phone issue.
I have a debate with Orange about 10 years ago about not getting text messeges when I loose and then regain service. I was told that when a text is sent to a phone that is off or lost a signal the message is stored until a set time has passed and then delivery is retried, thus getting all the messages at once. The way 'around' this is the disconnect the phone from the network and re-connect. This forces a scan of the message queues and again you will get all messages in one go.
I would assume going in to Flight Mode and back will do the same thing as a soft boot, but I have not tested this.

Okay,
so i could suggest it's not quitte an rom- or wizzard-issue, but a network-issue.
I also think going to flightmode and back will solve the problem. So we will hear from you if that's a solution?
I'm busy reflashing a new rom into my wizzard.

I would hope that as you seeing the problem that you could test this. I get all my texts on time (luckely) so I can't help you I am afraid, I can just share my thoughts.
Let us know how you get on.

I've tried, but now there's nobody who has sent me an sms
ghehe, i'll wait....
but i do think it will work.
i'll keep you posted

This is happening to me all of a sudden and its not a network issue. I have 4 phones on my account and i texted between all of them and only my phone won't get the messages UNLESS I reboot my phone or use smartskey to close a window.
Here is the strange part, when a text message is sent to my phone, the screen turns on, but doesn't show the message pop.
Is smartskey blocking it?
Also, closing a window by clicking on the X also kicks the message to come through

Mogul Messaging Program Issue

Just got a Mogul a few days ago...the problem is my text messaging program opens up randomly for no reason, when I don't have any new text messages.
It's annoying because it'll awake from sleep mode even though there's nothing to check.
A hard reset didn't take care of this.
Any ideas?

Is the messaging screen that appears the last thing that was on the screen before you shut it off?
It might be turning on because of other reasons, and just happens to always be on the messaging app.

Never thought of that...I'm currently on hold with Spring customer service. Been on hold for about 30 minutes, so I'm guessing it'll be another 3 hours before someone answers.

They said it's not a known problem, so they're just sending me a new one. Gay.

Do you have add the Threaded SMS application to your phone? Because my messaging used to pop up randomly too but after I got rid of the application, it stopped.

Just put your phone upside down next to you while you're sleeping avoids getting woken up when the phone wakes up.
Most cdma windows mobile phones wake up when switching tower too.. So if you're in a fringe area with bad reception, it may frequently wake up when it hops from one tower to the next.-mark

My phone will jump into analog every now and then and the backlight will come on for a few secs when that happens. But my messaging window doesn't pop up. My only problem with that is my texts that come in will not be in order recieved, even when that option is checked.

I am having the exact problem, I am using Shogunmarks threaded SMS program and every few minutes or so the mogul wakes up off batt power and the only app running is messaging. Going to uninstall and try another version.

If you settle on a version you like, let us know. I have uninstalled that one too.

I also have the Shogunmarks threaded SMS program installed. I don't have any problems with it now after running it for a few wks. My texts are in order and my backlight only comes on when it's in and out of analog.

HELP! Messages not showing...

Hey yesterday i noticed a major issue. I was sending quite a few texts and in turn receiving quite a lot back. However after receiving about the 1st four messages they no longer began show up and my tone didn't go off. The only reason i noticed that something wasn't right is because the screen lit up and when i went to inbox there sure enough was an unread message- even though the screen never displayed a new message!!!
Today I'm still experiencing the problem...along with an obviously related issue. Ocassionally when i click on messaging it simply won't open and i find myself soft resetting the phone or turning it off and back on.
Obviously this is a major problem for me!...Please help me! Everything else is fine!

Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/

bump!
i got the EXACT same problem, it is so annoying..
it shows no number of unread messages at the enveloppe on the today screen, however when you go in the message boxes there clearly are some unread messages, both e-mails and text messages..
is there ANY way to fix this? it's so incredibily annoying!

Have any of you tried removing some old messages?
I know I had some trouble with messages opening slow, but when I deleted a bunch of messages (and emptied the "deleted" folder), it worked great.

tried that just now with no luck, works on no other panel either..

I deleted my messages too and also uninstalled xperiatweak as ive heard this can cause problems...i havent yet had a chance to check the progress but as for the messaging tab opening up i dont seem to get that issue anymore *touch wood*. I
have noticed however that i get the occassional overload of device.exe errors and i mean overload...once one pops up about at least another 5 do! Even if i press send report or don't send report...it happens. I end up pressing the panel key :/ There are some definate bugs that need sorting.

Actually still no luck with xperiatweak gone...i got quite a series of device.exe errors and then after they'd gone i went to click on messaging and once again nothing happened...nor would contacts show! i think i may need to hard reset the phone!

megh i'd hate having to do a hardreset, don't want to lose my installed appz and having to install plus configure them again >_<

ive just done a hard reset...which i agree is a pain! But wow i forgot how fast the xperia is...i think im going to keep which apps i install to minimum and only install what i need. Obviously the error has been picked up from somewhere... What apps did you previously install? Maybe we have something in common?

torch button, mplaylist manager, neoFTP, pocket scrobbler, remote touch, skype, total commander, xchange r8, youtube panel, google panel, windows live panel... oh yea and tomtom7..
probably some stuff i left out due to them already being uninstalled.. maybe they left some traces in register i dunno..

pardon my french but f*ck this, i just did a hard reset too, will install the english rom too.. stupid dutch windows mobile.. (i know it's not the languages fault but it's an ugly language )

After hard reset...it has just happened again. I then thought it might be vistahide battery as come to think of it it didnt happen before that...been sending testers after getting rid of vistahide and everythin else ok. But i only have the new panels installed...no other add-ons now! So god knows!

Still experiencing this problem from time to time...very annoying! Hard resetted twice and no luck as such. It really is very annoying as i often miss messages if i don't see the screen wake-up Please...anyone know a solution or have this issue? Thanks

Bump .

Anyone?....

"zoelucker
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/"
noticed it happens whenever my mobile got a full bar 3G receptions... what about you guys?

Yes ive noticed a random wake-up and ive thought 'oh that must be another message with no sound grrr' then i look in messaging and no message...so wasn't that and was jus a random wake-up.
It is really starting to irritate me now and today my alarm didn't sound when it's been fine since i've got it! I wondered if the problem was connected? Do you think the new update (well not officially released yet)...the new rom or whatever would solve the problem? Please any light on this...the messaging one is my main problem because I can just set another alarm clock but for messaging...its what a phone should be able to do. Thanks.

Seems like there are few people who are experiencing this problem.
I have the same problem as you all are. I've tried emptying the message but no luck.
If hardresetting doesnt work, then the problem doesnt related to any kind of software we installed?

yea i hard reset twice so i know it doesnt

Its driving me mad now! Its the only issue i have with it and its a real shame because i love my X1 otherwise. Do you think the new FW will solve my problem?
I was receiving messages fine 20 mins ago and then 5 mins ago i got a random screen wake-up but thought it was a message that hadn't come through properly so i tried to go into messaging but it wouldn't open up....i tried everything. clicked it so many times. changed panels. nothing. in the end i had to soft reset the phone :S

Message not sent... AGAIN!

Ok, so I like to write messages longer than 3 texts, so I have to use handcent. So I don't know whether it's an app problem or a phone problem.
Even when I try and send messages 1 text long they don't go through.
I can have full signal or at least 2/3 bars GPRS but they don't go through. Usually it happens on GPRS though.
Any ideas?

In fact, It's stopped sending them all together now ¬¬
And I have plenty of signal (2/3 bars GPRS [more than I usually have had when sending texts])
Edit: I keep receiving them, I just can't reply

things to try:
reboot, test
reinstall handcent, test
uninstall handcent and test with default app.
wipe phone (settings will be restored, and apps will be re-downloaded for you after you log in).

I've rebooted my phone before and the problem went away but now it's back. Thinking about it I probably just had 3g when it worked. It worked again when I briefly got 3G coverage and now i've sent all of my unsent messages it seems to be working again... for now.
The problem is I can't use the stock messaging app because of the annoying auto-mms conversion thing which hasn't been sorted so I had to use Handcent. I'd love to use the stock app and I actually prefer it apart from that one annoying issue.

This sounds a little like the problem with the HD2 on stock VF rom. Some say it helped to choose 2g only for sending messages (if that setting exists on the n1).
I dont have the N1 yet, so only guessing......

I've been having the same problem since the radio update, I'm seriously frustrated with this phone right now...

Haven't noticed this issue using the stock SMS app...

Easy fix, pick up the phone and talk if it's more than two sentences.

Not. A very helpful comment. Stfu.
I have same problem with even. One word texts. And since update. Reboot always fixes UT but annoying and shouldn't ever happen

Running full stock with update and using ChompSMS with no problems at all. I do seem to have the new 3g problem with the new radio ppl are having but turning on 2G only fixes the problem. Other wise no SMS problems at all here.

htc messaging causing sense to freeze

this is on the official us tmo hd2 rom.
ive had it since friday and at least a few times a day ive had to soft reset because the htc messaging app locked up and all of sense is frozen.
i can still hit start and open up other apps but nothing related to sense.
i do have lots of texts and it tends to happen only if i hit back too quick or try to type too quickly.
i know there has been sms issues but what about this? any fixes? or just disabling htc messaging

update
today in a matter of 3 hours i had to reset over 6 times due to freeze ups.
i decided to clean out my texts and got it down to about 100 in and out and in the past 4 hours ive had no freeze ups and have been able to use swype.
i like having my texts so this isnt a permanent fix

it does not only happened with text
my HD freeze up on emails...i just updated from 1.48 to 1.66 but it still the same
will try cooked ROM tonite, hopefully better..

i am having the same problem.

I see this randomly as well. I think it is related to Activesync with Exchange accounts. Still trying to isolate the problem, but it happens frequently. Sometimes a new ROM fixes it, others not :\.
Anyone figure out what was causing this?
