Whenever I tap on a message to reply, i cant simply tap to insert text, if i do it take away the cursor and highlights the last message in black. Or, I open then message and have to wait a few seconds for the last msg to be highlighted in black, then enter my text.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks.
I'm not sure whats happening with this bug, but I had this happen on 2 HD2s that I've had so far. It happens with both Swype and the regular HTC keyboard. Sometimes, I'll just be tryping, and all of a sudden, the screen will jump, and highlight a previous message (turn black) and then I have to tap the lower part of the current SMS message to get it refocued back again. Very unusual bug and I hope there is a fix for it.
I can start typing, but as you said it jumpes back. Then I must scroll down again.
It's the crappy HTCMessaging app. It has never been properly sorted since the HD2 came to be. Just do what i did and install a ROM that doesn't have that utterly ****e app on and you'll never look back

Do you know of a ROM for the T-Mobile USA HD2 that doesnt have HTC messaging?
Or is there a way to remove it from my current ROM?
Same thing happens to me today, I start typing, it jumps to the previous message and highlights it in black. Ugh, annoying!
same here
have the same bug and my HTC is becoming very slow..even when there is no application running in the background..have to soft reset atleast once a day..so much for the snapdragon and RAM
Same problem as I have - it's very annoying. Running the 1.66 SEA ROM, with Swype installed - although the problem began before I installed Swype. I find what actually happens is that the phone registers the keypresses, and if you tap on the write message area, those keys you've tapped appear. I believe I read somewhere else on the forum about this problem, but couldn't find the thread. Any suggestions for alternates to HTC Messaging?
Ok, does anyone else have this problem. Whenever i get a new text message, whether i open it up with the message icon at the bottom or the notification at the top, after i start typing it will then highlight what the other person just sent to me and turns the screen where i type blank, and to see what i have typed and continue typing i have to touch the screen where my typing appears again and continue typing. Any idea why this happens, its kind of annoying the piss outta me!
I have no idea, but it's happen to me too. Sometimes it highlights the received message but still allows me to type without seeing the letters appear on the blank screen.

Yes, it happens to the two I have as well... One of which is being replaced,(hardware failure)
ya, well i wonder if there is a way to fix this in the registry or something. it really bugs the crap out of me sometimes.
I think its a universal glitch. However, the problem happens to me less now that I'm running Kumar's TMOUS C1.6 WWE ROM
Yes, it happens for me too.
Happens to me too, smh. I'm turning the phone back on Wednesday
This happens to me as well! Almost every time! Drives me up the wall!!!please wait 2 seconds for an uncompressed image, or press Ctrl+F5 for original quality page
What ROM version do you have? Stock? Custom? Latest 2.13?
This is the reason I have htc messaging disabled!
Happens all the time, it's just a software bug hopefully it'll get fixed in the future.
mine pauses when i txt also but its not worth giving up the phone for a few glitches.a bubby got the pheone and is freaking out because its not as smooth as his mytouch.so he is going to take the phone back.
I have the latest ROM and texting still SUCKS!! unbelievable....Hold your phone landscape and have someone send you a text while you are writing one, ridiculous.
I have the same problem also. maybe the new official update will fix it. If not, and I disable htc messaging. which sms app should i use?
I had this problem with the original 2.10 rom. Now that i've updated to the 2.13 rom the problem is solved

It's solved because you have 0 SMS in the conversation, it ll start annoying you when you have like more than 20 SMS.
I got a call on firday , and the tech said they can reproduce the SMS delay / jump to last SMS problem.
But cannot find any bug in HTC sense, that kind of means they will NEVER fix it.
Hopeless.
I think they definitely think it's a feature other than a problem even so many people complains.

I have seen that myself. Had about 40 messages in that thread and I could see the scroll bar getting smaller and smaller on the right hand side of the screen, and once it finished getting to the size that it needs to be for the amount of messages, it happens. I try to keep my sms sizes small due to this. It gets quite annoying at times.
this is one of the things that is the most annoying of all! I hate it and theres no way to fix it apparently.. gay
the only way i have overcome it is, well i sold the first HD2 i had and got an iphone, well now i just got another HD2 yesterday directly from Tmo cause i broke my iphone, my new HD2 has the lastest ROM on it, but set the Message shortcut to your homescreen and when you recieve a new message dont open it with the message icon on the bottom where the sense icons are and open your message with the message shortcut icon, this way i have noticed it doesnt highlight the last message that person sent you.

the new Tmo ROM update fixes that problem, It slows the sensitivity and processing of what you type down, but it no longer highlights the incoming message. choose which poison you wish to have
Alright, hopefully someone can help. I have ran this question elsewhere, with no luck. I am running a WVGA HTC Imagio with WM6.5 and a NRG custom rom with sense 2.5. I just recently installed and then removed the newest HTC Messaging Client. Couldn't send or recieve MMS messages. Thats all fixed now, but, whenever I get a text or MMS message, the notification bubble shows in my top bar, but nowhere else, not even my unread notification on Sense. It does show up in the standard lock screen (HTC's) however.
No, it doesn't show up in Titanium either, just shows 'no new texts'.
It also doesn't show up when I use ThrottleLauncher, iPhoneToday, Infinity, Androkkid, or Home2.
So, it shows up in the lock screen and on the top bar, but no where else. Any ideas?
also, why is my tag or whatever showing that 'OP' thing?
Alright, got a little more information. I checked HKCU/System/State/Mesages/SMS/Unread and the 'count' register. When I send a test text, it doesn't change, it stays at 0. BUT when I change it manually to '1', then it registers in all my systems (TL, iPT, Sense 2.5, etc).
But when I remove the '1', its back to where no notifications other than in the top bar and lock screen are given. I do get the usual message notifications via sound and vibrate as well.
So, does anyone have any idea on why it works for the lock screen and top bar, but not in sense or any other UI?
Hi Jerry,
I hope someone can answer this as I have exactly the same problem.
The "OP" means "opening poster"!
Thanks, and no luck yet. I hope someone can figure this out, becouse I am stumped!
And don't know what "Opening Poster" means, but guess its good!
If you happen to get yours fixed, remember to swing by this way!
Post in the ROM thread.

Doesn't this phone have a LED notification feature??
Why should it have?
Isn't that obvious..?: To notify the user of missed calls and new text/email messages...

The lock screen does a pretty good job of keeping you up to date on whats been happening. I didn't even realise any new smart phones had LED notifications.
That response is hilariously absurd. I have to actually pick my phone up and look to see if something is happening?
SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
I have to say - I had the HTC Diamond before my Omnia and this is the one feature I miss.
The Phone is a million times better in every other aspect, so I will oversee this flaw

No, it doesn't. Unfortunately, this is one of the features I miss from my HD2.
But there are dozens of things that are better, so I'll get along with it
Just noticed that. I've been adapting to the icons and never checked.
I like the icons it seems, with Txt, E-mail, Multiple accounts and apps with their own notifications. Wouldn't want to have to memorise each beep. dash. dot for what i missed in this day and age, the icon tells me in one glance what I've missed with a symbol, maybe coloured dots would be the same but, i did wonder how do you not look at the phone to see the LED notification?
That i wanna learn
Point explained
We're talking hardware design here. As far as I can see from inspecting the device, it DOES have LEDs under the buttons, which means that it is INDEED possible to implement a LED notification hack of some sort... like it's been done on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, for instance (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830782)!
The advantage: A slow-blinking LED will enable the user to become notified of a new text/email message/missed call by just glancing at the phone from afar, ergo not having to pick the phone up AND turn on the screen.
It's an epic fail, in my opinion, that this cannot be found in the otherwise great hardware design of the Omnia 7, as all well-crafted smartphones these days incorporate such functionality (e.g. the HTC Hero).

I get ya, Makes a nice feature for some phone users i guess, But i needed this as smart phone to keep on me at all times *my reason anyway*, if i miss a call/e-mail i have to call back asap anyway

If someone writes such an app, and it does not consume much more power, it would be a reason for me to do the unlock...
I guess there is no chance that this app would be approved via the official way?
Just realized: Someone's actually made an app for submitting and voting for already submitted ideas for improvements to WP7. It's called "My WP7 Idea", and yes, it already contains my idea. USE IT! (and please, please, please VOTE for this)
Does anyone know if there's a LED under the middle touch navigation button (the one with the Windows logo)? Would be cool, if this could light up with notifications, wouldn't it...?
Theres not a LED. Only the other 2 buttons lighten up. I don't think that's a problem tough.
You could think of a procedure like back button enlightened when a new sms is there, search button when you have a missed call or something.
Close to the light sensor i saw another something,i dont know what is it for..but on a video on youtube..i saw it blinking in blue..when the user used bluetooth for calling...anyone noticed that?
we got 4" led display !
can notification led just be emulated by a small blinking square right in the center of the screen ?

Yes. Ludicrous, isn't it.
I don't understand how this could bother you so much, unless you like people to notice that you are popular. You should have looked at the specs before you bought it - seems to be an ongoing problem people have with phones.

you can't be serious? since the dawn of man (ok,mobile), a phone has had a visual indicator that you have missed an event. This is like having an alarm clock with no alarm. you just have to keep waking up and switching the screen on!
I've recently got my hands on an Omnia 7 and today I realised I was missing emails,sms etc because there was no led flashing. I thought it was broken. Turns out it isn't... the logic of samsung is.

You could go to settings and set a sound for new emails (not set by default) and see if it's better, it vibrates too

Hi
This thread is about the new 1.72 OTA update for anyone who hasn't rooted, s-off'd etc.. Its for discussing changes, improvements, new bugs and such like. As there is no official change list, note it down and we'll get there.
If you own, or have questions about the G2, this is not applicable, the software is different. This is for the Stock Desire Z as shipped. Thanks!!
Downloaded over WLAN and it installed in about 10 mins and several reboots. If you can, try hard reset as its been reported this helps with the SMS notification bug.
My observations (UK SIM free):
New Android build (2.2.1)
New Kernel (2.6.32.21-g540976a Dec 1st)
New Radio (12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2)
Fixes:
Battery life better (mixed reports, but probably slightly better)
Rear speaker louder (again, needs to be tested in the wild)
Wireless LAN seems a lot quicker
Camera application improved.. (Stuttering improved when recording 720p Thanks, monomer888 & tbalden)
Snappier / Smoother menu transitions
More characters in hardware SYM list (like < and > )
Annoying Text message bug seems better but not solved (type screen jumps down as msg's load)
The delivery receipt now shows the contact name instead of the phone number. (Thanks missparker76)
Adding linked (Phone + Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) contacts to groups (e.g. Favorites) now works - they appear in the list of contacts when trying to add them. (Thanks Darthmelk)
BUGS:
SMS notifications.. Occasionally doesn't notify, sometimes cant dismiss until you go to the notification screen (Thanks Algobardo) HTC are aware..
Its lost my notification settings, sounds, volumes but that easy to put back. Kept themes, backgrounds, widgets and most other settings.
[RESOLVED] HTCSense.com not connecting to phone. Messages and Contacts still sync but unable to get location, lock or ring phone.
Slightly increased lag when rotating sense (Thanks knoeki )
Gallery showing unviewable files as a broken icon, sometimes not updating (Thanks moolash)
Changes:
New Dock menu item in settings?? (I thought it was new too Darthmelk)
LinkedIn and Picasa updates are either included, or working properly now. (Thanks Darthmelk)
Discuss!!
Craig
HTC said something about camera improvements, notice anything there ?
Erm, there seems to be more settings to play with. Maybe a bit quicker to focus and flash timing improved..
And it fixed my menu button

It wouldn't work... The phone would vibrate when I pressed it but nothing would appear, although the one on the keyboard would open the menu
Got me scared at first... thought it was a faulty phone
I think there's a new "Dock" option in Settings, to start the Car Panel automatically when the phone is mounted in a holder. Was it there before? Probably there are lots of very small bug-fixes we don't notice.
Battery seems as bad as always for now (using push and 2hr syncs), the hardware keyboard still doesn't have the romanian symbol "ă" when long-pressing "a". Btw, is there a way to install other languages for the hardware keyboard? I only get English.
after the ota mine has a quite annoying problem.
When i read a sms message the notification on top doesn't disapper unless i access the messaging application through the notification itself.
Anyone with the same problem ?
Suggested solutions ?

Confirmed.. Thats annoying. [EDIT] SOMETIMES!!!! Its now working.
It did it for me initially when I got the phone with stock 1.34 but never did it again.. Maybe its while it refreshes / builds the back end database.
Just now I sent about 4 messages (from external devices) where it would not dismiss or in one case not even notify!! But i've sent about 10 now that work flawlessly every time.
Maybe worth clearing all the messages out after upgrading. Its clear they've been working on the SMS app as I don't get the jumping text box any more

I think you need to change your locale to ro_RO (Romanian (Romania).

Ive had that annoying notification bug (Hi, 1 week into desire z ownership btw), and I have definitely had messages without notification too. Does seem to be a bit random tho. Will see how it goes. Otherwise, it's a pretty good phone. Nice to see a section with ppl who don't root the lives outta their phones, i'm trying really hard not to for a while if i can, as you just end up changing things and re-setting everything up on a weekly basis else, and i've had enough of all that.

Nope, that will only change all the text into Romanian, but it will not add a Romanian hardware keyboard option (so no "ă" character when long-pressing "a").

At last - I'm not going mad - mine does this too after the OTA update - it's really really annoying. It's actually worse than described, because if you clear the notification by dragging the notification bar, any future SMS messages will *not* actually be alerted - no sound, no notification icon, no notification button number.
We need a fix...
I don't have this problem. If I get a new SMS, I can slide to the SMS widget and the notification clears instantly (but the SMS is still unread until I get to the SMS app, of course). If I clear the notification after dragging down the notification screen, I will get a new notification when a new SMS arrives.
"When i read a sms message the notification on top doesn't disapper" - where do you read the SMS if not inside the SMS app?
As i've previously posted, I haven't had the no notification or clear problem since.. I've been sending and receiving messages so it seems to clear itself. I use the messaging app from a shortcut.
See if it just clears by itself..
Yeah, ok. If it persists, I may use SMS Backup and clear out the database and start afresh. It is behaving at the moment...
Anyone notice the new teardrop caret/cursor when moving the cursor in a text input box?
Also, camera is still pants compared with my old Desire and the update doesn't seem to have done anything to improve quality.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I got this for Xmas, I openen the box and before playing around with 1.34 that came with it I installed the OTA 1.72.
I am amazed, have no bugs to complain about. I do not see a reason to get root or so. Sense is fine, I love it.
I came from WM, pretty many tweak skills, but i don't need tweaking any yet.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I have definitly noticed issue with sms notification too ... Undoubtly there is something wrong and it triggers just sometimes.
Another thing which may have changed is in menu where you choose your ring tone - I think there wasnt option to choose any mp3 from your phone. I had have to google some instructions how to do it which involved copying mp3 to the specific folder.
Yeah, updated fine all seems good, only thing to complain about is the SMS problems, doesnt even let me know i got a text most the time.
Tried factory reset erasing everything ect nothing helps
Just have to wait for a fix then i guess...
