SMS sent are blank on other side. . - HD2 General

one of my friends is running the stock rom on tmo. This is her second hd2 as the first has issues and now this one when a sms is being sent it will send a blank txt. Has this been an issue with anyone? any help would be appreciated. thanks!!

I do have the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!

no problem for me, did you try looking at all the sms and sending methods to see its correctly going to the server and stuff?

^ I have not its a friends and I will be checking it out later today, I guess its a problem when she sends longer sms that are more than 160 char's.

I think I actually had it happen too, this morning...I sent three texts to a friend this morning (yep, she's on Verizon), and they call came through blank except for the word "page"....so I think this validates that statement.
EDIT: However, she's been able to get texts and MMS both from me, instantly and completely, for the past hour or so...maybe it's cleared up now.

My buddy on Verizon was also receiving blank texts from me earlier today but they're fine now...that's what they get for being on verizon

Text message problem

Hi, I'm having a problem with sending text messages.
I can receive them fine, but I'm having trouble sending them:
it will tell me that the message was sent but the recipients told me they didn't get it or they tell me they got it hours after it was sent. It shouldn't be a network problem as I can receive them, and its not a problem with my sim or plan with china mobile because on my old razr i could send them fine. Does anyone know what the problem is? thanks
edit: problem either fixed itself or only happens some of the time. would still like to hear input on the reason this would happen so i can make sure it won't happen again...thanks.
this has been happening to almost everyone i know, using many different phones, and many different providers. i don't know what's going on here in the States, maybe companies are updating their towers to support more 3G or something, but it's getting annoying.
Yes Its most definitely not your phone and its your friends...If you want to see how fast your phone is actually sending the messages, just send a text message to yourself...It goes pretty quick...Nextel Blows with texting soo if thats what your friends have tell em to go with t-mobile lol!!
damn that **** is happening to me now. i did hte text myself thing n it worked

Incoming MMS not working , how to fix ?

Been having this problem since day one with Cyanogen.
Invariably the incoming picture mail ceases to function.
Ive gotten it to work when its acted up by resetting fixing permissions , unchecking then re checking "auto retrieve mms" , and selecting "TMOBILE" under provider listing to re register with network.
Since most of the time I have to ask people to pic mail me its extremely difficult to troubleshoot regularly.
"mms" is too short a term for seach it seems so apologize if this is an old issue.
1. Is there a specific fix to get MMS working as it should ?
2. Is there a way I can test if it works by emailing my phone ([email protected]) with a pic attached ? That never works.
3. If this is ROM specific ,are there any ROMS that dont have any sms/mms issues ?
G1
cyanogen 4.02
default messaging , handcent ,chomp have all given me the same problem...only using handcent currently.
Try sending yourself two mms messages
Tried 3 different.... only 1 came through. grrr
Noone has any ideas ?
Would upgrading my radio do any good ?
I noticed that both you guys are running old roms ...have you considered updating to 1.6 rom ,, I had issues sending mms with handcent when upgraded and I emailed them and they issued an update for 1.6 donut support. works great now

I will be trying this now that theres a one file Cyanogen. I was pessimistic about Hero roms because so many were limited or laggy.

For all I know there could be a wealth of info..but mms wont come up with anything in search.
Worst case scenario you can receive my MMS and Ill send out any you need.
for me if i am on wifi, i can never get mms sent or received. but onc ei turn off wifi and get on 3g it sends and receives fine. i missed a lot of mms because at home i always have my phone on wifi. i only know i miss them because right after an mms is sent, sometimes people sms me and say "did you get that?" and then i am aware they sent an mms.
Installed Cyn 4.1.999999999999999
STILL same issue. Ugh.
I have the same issue and I just switched to that ROM. My problem is real intermittent and in fact mine will somes times not receive regular texts, or the recipaent never gets them, or even sometimes someone will get multiple copies of my text messages all at once and I'll even get a few copies of received text messages on my phone. Just annoying.
Found this though, basically just sending a picture to your own phone.

I live in some crappy 3G coverage, so its always switching between that and edge. Something I've been meaning to try is to force the phone to only use 2G networks and see if that helps.

Yep, same problem. I'd say I'm 99% sure I even had this issue when I was using JF roms. I just came from Cyan 4.0.4 rom and a few of his previous roms before that.
I'm also half temped to unroot it and go back to a factory T-Mobile rom.

As am I.
Its annoying as hell to get "did you get my pic ?" or "what do you think" wondering wth theyre talking about.
Not sure if this will work for you but works for me. Only way I can receive mms from anyone is they have to type something in the subject and something in the message. If they do that I get it everytime. Might want to give it a try.

Will try..
TMo had me pull out battery then re try...it worked....till I got home.
Rep said it may be caused by a bad tower in my area pulling out battery connects me to another tower.
Sounded like BS but seeing that it worked when we tried but failed later on ..perhaps.
Id feel better if I knew this was a problem with or without Root. Im fighting my urge to just go back to stock...hate to lose apps2sd though.

SMS Message Problem!

Hi guys,
I'm having some difficulty with sending SMS messages. Its sporadic. Sometimes they send immediately, sometimes not at all. Its very frustrating.
For example, the day I got the phone (last week) I sent 2 text messages. I didn't hear back from anyone but thought nothing off it. I checked my messages and they were time stamped with the time I sent them at so I presumed they had gone.
That evening, about 6 hours later, I got my two replies. The people had only just got them, hours later. One of them wasn't impressed because it was intructions for something they needed to do 4 hours previously!
So, I turned on delivery reports on each sent message to make sure they sent.
Over, the next two days, I had no problems, delivery reports come in immediately within seconds of me sending my SMS message.
Meanwhile, I called my network (Vodafone) to see if there were any issues with network. they reported none. I checked the message centre number and verified it against the network one. They matched, so I thought all was in order... except I would have to get annoying delivery reports cluttering up my Text message inbox until I was sure the service was working 100%.
Earlier today, I sent about 3 important text messages, got no delivery reports, so I texted my other phone to see if the messages were going through. Nada. I was annoyed.
I'm thinking.. whats going on?
So about 10 minutes ago I shut down the phone and booted up again. Within 10 minutes I was getting all my delivery reports and replies from people!
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong, what setting needs to be activated etc?
Obviously I can't use the text messaging on the device if I can't trust it to just work like pretty much every handset I've owned since... year dot.
PS: I spoke to Vodafone care team who said my sim card must be old; newer sim cards (128k) are needed for these "high tech" phones.
But I just took my sim out of my Nokia N97 (never had a problem) last week AND messages ARE going through on the Leo occasionally and only after a reboot, which is utterly pointless.
This is the last thing I thought I'd have issues with on a device like this..
Any advice? Have I missed something?
Thanks.
Same here, I thought I messed up something in the sms service or so.
Done many hard resets and soft resets. But still no help.
I'm experiencing exactly the same problems. Also Vodafone and no one seems to get any sms from me.
Okay, this ain't good!!
since you both have vodafone, and I haven't seen/heard about other people having these problems, I'd say it was voda's fault

Now tell me, why? I've never had problems on my previous phones.
I don't think the vodafone on the Ireland branch is the same as the one in the Netherlands
Kinda happy to hear that you guys also having the same issue.
It can probally be patched/fixed by htc. I googled for "htc sms hotfix"
And htc is also facing sms issues on other devices.
sigh... How will I live without outgoing SMS capability? so lame... hope you guys will find a fix soon.
seems to be the same like the sms bug in previous manila 2.1 build. outgoing messages weren't send, but only on some specific providers.
How could such a fundamental and critical phone component get screwed up? That just doesn't make sense. Anyone got ideas out there for a fix or we we have to wait for HTC to patch this? What about people who purchased a Leo and have no knowledge of this site etc deal with something like this? They buy a 500+ euro phone, try to send a text message, no joy. Baffled, annoyed, frustrated. Phone would get returned right? Not happy.
I've had this same problem on ATT in the USA

Had? so it's fixed now?
Just had this problem on t-mobile UK. The thing is that if you're in conversation mode it actually gets inserted as if it's been sent. I looked in outbox and it was stuck there, even after pressing 'retry send'. I tried a reset but it was still stuck there, so i retyped the message and sent that, both ended up being sent, with the origanal sms being time stamped as if it was sent ages ago!
I sometimes have this problem too....
O2 here.
In case it helps, I'm not having any problems on 3UK. Are you all certain it's not a network issue?
Perhaps it is to be honest... and perhaps tapping 'resend' just makes it happen in the background so it just appears that it does nothing.
I still find of the most annoying things to be the fact that the auto capitalise new sentence option to not work.... it's bad for perfectionists!!

+1 !!
It might look like it's mainly vodafone but in the UK at least it by far the biggest network, therefore it's bound to affect more voda users. Only 15 posts and already i see vodafone, att, O2, t-mobile, different countries, different networks.
This is the same issue that I've had this week with my Touch Pro running the Leo ROM, the device seemed to be turning all my SMS into MMS and then not sending them, though the odd one would sneak through. The problem has been fixed with an update to the custom ROM I'm using. It's the Energy ROM by the way. I'll send the author a message to see if he can pop on here and offer advice on the problem.
same here O2 in my phone.. even receive some messages later.. pls help us someone

No, I have not made any changes that would have fixed the problem, but it is sporadic and only occurred twice a few days ago.
unfortunately same problem on o2 uk

Not receiving text messages :S

hi my phone has been good but for the whole of today i havent been able to receive any text messages. i can send them fine and email seems to be working fine as well. When I got home I put my sim into my old phone and after a little while i received the 8 messages.
What could be up? do i need to send the phone back?
when i put the sim back in my phone is was working again.
When it wasnt working I had already tried turing phone on and off.
Also unrelated but I have had some weird problems with my phone not working with bluetooth properly. It will pair easily and work fine but then (again today) my paired devices were not connecting and I had to delete the pairing and add them again for it to work.
Just bumping once to see if anyone else has had this problem and has any suggestions.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i have had the same problem with not receiving texts on my galaxy s. though mine was just from one number. after the usual helpful advice of switching off and on removing sim card etc it still wasnt working. putting the sim in a new phone worked and the only way to get the samsung working again was to reset everything to factory. This lasted about a week and then it's happened again this morning.
Ive checked my blocked contacts and its empty and vodafone/samsung aren't being especially helpful.
It would appear a factory reset is the only thing that sort of works.
hope this helps
Same problem here, i just received 20 messages from up to 3 days ago.
Stock Rom, Rooted
Could be a provider issue tho...
Anybody still having this problem. Mine just started this a week ago. Only hard reset fixes it.
Hmm, I've been having similar issues, with texts not being received and all calls being forwarded straight to voicemail. A day later I get a barrage of texts and voicemails.
This has happened about 2 or 3 times now
A friend of mine had this problem, or something like it (she didn't really describe it in detail). In any case, she was told (by Optus) to connect the sim card to another phone (turn it on), and then put it back on the SGS.
I've just had this problem with the Galaxy S (stock Eclair) on Three(UK). Stopped getting text messages yesterday but could still send messages, emails, browse the web etc.
Bit the bullet this morning and factory reset. Two minutes later I received about twenty text messages.
Seems like this may be a problem with the Galaxy S. If it happens again the phone is going back for something else.
Maybe Froyo will sort it out once Three have worked out how to get it distributed.
Bump.
I don't receive certain messages from my girlfriend when she texts me, i do receive others though, it's highly annoying. I'm on giffgaff (O2) at the moment and running Ficeto's JVH rom 2.3.3
Any ideas why this is happening?
i have experienced this too. . . fixed it by switchin network mode to gsm instead of auto. . .
maybe my area has weak wcdma signal. . .

I am guessing your old phone isn't a Samsung ? I was having the same problem and I figured it out. Samsung phones don't receive texts when a full number is put in. +1-555-555-5555. This is the number format Facebook uses. So if the person texts you using your Facebook linked number you'll never get it. Bravo Samsung! Bravo.

Phone Retexting

Atrix - Alien Rom.
Apparently my phone is sending the same texts to some people over and over again.
My bill is already jacked up, any ideas to fix this?
This is a network level issue and not a phone issue if rebooting does not fix it.
You will have to conact your network
This issue has to do with the tower you're on. Sometimes shoddy tower signals can result in a mix up and your phone thinking a message insn't sent when it is. So it gets stuck in this loop of sending a message repeatedly. I would try turning your phone off, taking your SIM card out, booting up, turning off phone again and replacing SIM card.
edit: OH yeh and delete the sent messages before you do.
I hope you guys are correct because i remember having a problem with an old Motorola chocolate a white back which I purchased on ebay for my girl friend, I had to buy her a new phone from AT&T because the one I got her was spamming out text messages
I have had the reverse problem of recieving multiple (sometimes infinite) messages with my Atrix, i also believe its a tower problem. But I assure you, it is better to send than recieve.

Had this issue with sending a message to my sister. The problem is with the network the people you are sending to. Their network, (even if it's the same provider), is not sending message received data back to your phone. Call your provider and tell them. When this happened to me I made sure I wasn't being charged for the same international text message over and over. The constant repeat of sending the message will stop after 72 hours, as this is when the networks are set to cancel repeats for non delivery. I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T before they finally figured out the problem was network related.

I just had the same problem two days ago
When life sucks I just enjoy the head
I have the problem with incoming messages every few days. I use Go SMS and ill get one message over and over . Then no other incoming sms will come but outgoing will work. I usually find if I reboot with custom tethering APN on this will initiate the problem and also changing batterries from the BH6X to the BH5X seems to initiate it. Usually now pulling the battery and rebooting with the standard APN AT&T will fix the problem for me. Not sure if this is helpful but I was dealing with it a lot and I have had it happen once since the method above is used.
Sent using the phone with the biggest balls....Atrix 4G
