Truncated SMS messages

Hi All,
I'm running 1.66.00WWE & when i send SMS messages to people sometimes only half of it comes through for them. The SMS's are not over the character limit, for example a 20 char SMS sometimes only comes out with the first 10.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a solution?

I've had this problem before. For the recipient, it's similar to that of recieving a multi-page sms which of course takes time to update on their phone.
I just wrote it off as a service provider problem, but if others have the same problem, maybe it is handset related.

Truncated SMS Messages
I too am having problems with truncated messages (just no text actually) on some occasions. Not sure if it is reception related or what. Can anyone help. I'm running latest versions of ROM on o2 XDA II, using an Orange SIM

In my case it was all or nothing. I ended up putting +44 in front of all my UK mobile numbers and that seemed to solve it -not sure if it is the same problem as you are having though.

I also had the similar prob before, and got it solved with the help of gazzaman2k. Try this out, this might do it.
1.) Go to Inbox
2.) At the bottom, Click Accounts, then Accounts again.
3.) Tap *SMS
4.) Untick \"Send SMS messages using unicode when necessary\"
5.) Press \'OK\' then the \'X\'
Let me know if this fixes it.

was supposed to POST reply to thig, but Gut_S beat me to it, hehehe.
YUP, unticking that SEND SMS using UNICODE when necesarry will solve this problem, and TELL your friends about it. SERVICE providers GAIN a LOT from this bug coz you might think your sending only 1 SMS but actually it is counted as 2 or even 3 mesages by the network.
cheers.

Troubles sending & receiving SMS

I've read some posts about lags in sms, but those were more related to the fact that, when sending to a contact with huge sms-history, the lag will occur.
I, and many users with dutch rom, have problems with sending messages to contacts, even without any sms-history. Messages will not send or i get a delivery report hours after i send the message. Even receiving messages is problematic. Only a soft-reset will solve the problem, but only for a few hours
Anybody an idea? Even better: a solution? It's getting really annoying.

A sollution could be disable the HTC Messaging and enable the "old" sms style like the outlook client.
The patch for this option disables mms, so thats not an option..
Maybee anyone who does know a better sollution?

I really never use mms, so thats a pretty good option for me, how could I disable the htc messaging ?

On another forum i've read this, but didn't do the job for me:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging\Compose -->string 'ExecPathName' --> change in 'Tmail.exe'.
I still want to use MMS, though is not that important. If it solves the sms problem, that would be nice. However, in my opinion it should work ok, even with SENSE on, so for now it's a nice workaround (if possible)

hehe thats the same solution that I tried from tweakers.net but also for me it didn't solve my problem

changing that registry string results in a not working button when ticking "More"..

rom 1.66 - does it fix the SMS problem?

Hi there,
Does anyone know for sure if the 1.66 ROM upgrade fixes the SMS issue with them getting stuck in the outbox? I'm downloading it as we speak but I don't want to have to completely reset my device without needing to.
I have all the previous hotfixes released in EU/UK installed.

not sure... supposedly it does... im running it and havent had the problem.
i delete alot of my texts all the time though so im not sure if i just havent noticed it yet.

it should and it is (for me) fix both the stuck in the outbox & lag problem on the sms app.

Sounds like good feedback! Making an app and tweak list so I can get up and running again quickly now... I remember the fun I had doing this on my Diamond...surely this SMS issue could have been done as a hotfix

There is new SMS hotfix from January 24th, which says is for ROMs older then 1.66, so it is supposed to be the same version of SMS software as is on 1.66 ROM.

i had an issue with 1.66.. UK unbranded device - After using PIM and then MyPhone to restore messages and such, any SMS i tried to send went as an MMS?
I couldn't find anything else like this for anyone else, so I went back to 1.48 and I've got no problems with my SMS'... one of the contacts said 550 after the name on 1.66 so I'm guessing this was a count of how many messages were in that thread.

Haven't experienced any stuck sms on the latest 1.66 ROM, but I noticed that the ringing volume is much lower than it used to be. Not sure maybe because I had like 40% battery left?

1.66 ROM solves the SMS issue for me.

Also fixed for me as well as other things such as windows live messenger connection problems, receiving emails problem, weather not updating etc. Best rom to date

I had the stuck sms syndrome on 1.43 and 1.48............no such problem on 1.66

stable...
Id say its running stable for now. Only thing i noticed is the "limited to 10 recipients" on th recipient input field for SMS. SMS thread loads faster and there is no lag on replying to SMS thru sense ui. Like i am experimenting with a long thread of 119 SMS on one conversation.
Once clicked on the SMS, it it loads the SMS conversation, and i can start to write on the input box immediately. Loading all the older msgs takes a few second which is OK with me as i dont go on scrolling to see the older msgs just as i open them.
anyone else got the imitd to 10 recipients coming on ur recipient input fields???

SMS issue

Hi guys i just got a white Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 last week the phone is really cool and i am liking it but i have noticed a really weird bug/error, when i recieve SMS messages from any short code (i.e. my provider or my bank) the SMS contact is displayed as another contact in phone book. E.g the my operator sends me sms the operator number is 90605 instead of the SMS showing its from 90605 it shows its from mike (a guy in my phone book).
Is anyone else facing this issue? how can it be resolved?
I have also noticed the phone doesn't feature internet sharing facility or no way to use it as a modem and connect ur laptop to the net. If anyone knows how to do this please share.
Thanx guys have a good day..

Mod. edit: not t&a related, moved to general

Can someone please help with the below issue
cheers

Did you check that 90605 digits are also part of your contact mike's details numbers/emails/etc ?

no those are not part of my contacts there are various numbers from the operator for various things e.g 1505 if u have voice mail 90605 to inform you about your bill and various offeres etc...

Why don't you try factory resetting your device once? That might help out. If not maybe you might want to send it for repair while your warranty still covers it.

You need this....

Email Notification sound together with SMS Notification

Dear all members,
I have encounter some problem with the notification when receiving a new SMS, it will sound the email notification with the icon on the top of the phone.
But when I check the inbox, there is no email at all.
Anyone can tell me how to resolve the problem?

Seems like nobody has this problem before?

I've had this issue since upgrading to the 1.72 O2 ROM but not sure how to fix it so just live with it as it's not all the time just randomly happens.

I have the same problem! Had this problem since I first got the phone last month. Been trying to google a solution but nothing is coming up and im running T-mobile usa stock rom

Guys,
I notice this problem after applying the Hotfix released by HTC asia website.
