SMS Timestamp Problem

Hi all,
Im having a problem. Whenever i recieve a text message and the screen is locked the text displays as always 11 minutes before the current time. For example lets say i send a text at 7:05. The person replies a minute later and it says 6:55. The thread then becomes all messed up. Have had this issue since the original rom and have done many wipes since. Currently i am running the 2.2e MoDaCo Rom and was wondering if there is a fix for this issue because it is starting to become very annoying scouting for replies in the threaded sms. Please someone help

Just how bad is the sms problem?

I am thinking of binning my omnia and moving back to htc with the hd2. The big problem i have is the issue with sms not working correctly. I use sms alot, and would not be willing to live with a phone that sms doesnt work properly.
Please could you fill in the survey and also give me an idea of which rom you are using and if this changed the sms problem for you?
Thanks

Non-existent, if you have the 1.6.1 ROM

No problems at all even on 1.43 ROM

Never had any problem with sms.

After flashing 1.61 no more SMS issue (as well as no other bugs so far, still testing...)

t-mobile
ROM 1.43.110.2 (70315) WWE - Set up the phone, sent text with RSVP and got one back seconds later.
Same with email.

There are currently two separate sms bugs:
1. Messages get stuck in the outbox and never get sent
2. Horrible lag when loading an sms thread with lots of messages.
The first has supposedly been fixed in the 1.61 rom(never had this issue myself), but the latter hasn't. The music player suffers from the same lag.
So if you send a lot of messages I'd still recommend switching to the default WM application.

never had a problem with SMS. ROM 1.48

Where can you find the 1.61 ROM?
I cannot locate this anywhere on HTC's website. Can anyone please point me to where they downloaded the 1.61 ROM from?

It's a leaked rom so you might want to check out the leo rom sub forum.

I am not having any issues with SMS getting stuck in the out box.
I am however getting the slow down when loading SMS threads. With about 30 messages its getting slow. Not terrible but compared to instant when i started it seems horrible.

Never had any problems with SMS, with 1.43 or 1.48.

I have no idea, what is sms problem this phone work awsome out of the box.
You wanna see fu*ked up phone try lg viewty or other lg crap...

I'm using the O2 HD2 with 1.43 ROM
Today is the first time my GF didn't receive my sms and she called me as worried something happened to me. After we hung up, I was gutted that my HD2 actually had the sms problem like what people have said. However when I tried to send her another sms later on, I realised I didn't actually press send before pressing the home button. I'm guessing the O2 HD2 doesn't have sms problem?

In regards to sms bug 1: I'm running 1.61 rom and the messages I sent today I've still not received any delivery reports for.

no1 had this problem??
receive are all 2-3 minutes too early (time is not match with own mobile time clock) as it basic on sender time and so put the text conversation out of sync.

It most certainly does. I'm with O2 and have this problem, also the occasional text going to a different (and non-requested) recipient!

HTC have provided a hotfix today for SMS issues. I havent experienced the problem myself so am interested to see if the problem is resolved.

Nope that hotfix didnt fix anything. I still have messages sitting in outbox for hours now..
humbug
(ps, using the ROM 1.48)

i still had time stamp error

Blank SMS from "Δ@" ?!?

I've recently received two blank texts, the author of which is simply "Δ@", following which I promptly restarted my blackstone.
this isnt the first time i've received such a text. A little concerned, since I
read that receiving a blank text from dodgy places means someone might be
trying to hack into your phone.
Has anyone ever received similar texts before? Any advice / help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I got it a while back, but if I'm not mistaken, it was the iPhone which was vulnerable to this SMS attack.

Have you checked your Voicemail, if I remember correctly, I had this and it is your Voicemail. I think the way the voicemail icon is activated on phones is via the SMS protocol, and your phone should not show you an SMS message like that, but intercept it and show you your voicemail icon.
If you have a voicemail, read and delete it and you will probably get another text message, which is similar, to instruct the phone to delete the voicemail icon, again you shouldn't see this normally.
I am sure there is a patch to sort this out, but I haven't had any problems like this for ages, so maybe update to a newer ROM and see if it goes away.
Jason

Thanks Jason
I'll look out for voicemail in the future i think i did have some at the time.
However, I keep getting told I have voicemail waiting to be read when I don't actually have any, so its a little difficult (and annoying) determining whether I actually have voicemail or not.
As for my ROM, im using NRGZ28's latest ROM released in late December :s
Maybe its an Orange thing?

If I recall I was on Orange in the UK at the time, so I am not sure if different networks use different ways of forcing the icon to appear, and your phone does not support it. I would of thought it was something to do with the software, so the ROM is likely to be the problem, but I dont know for sure...
As I moved network, I cannot give any definites on whether my ROM would work for you either... You have not indicated your country, maybe if you advise, another person may be able to give you some assistance against that particular ROM.
Jason

I am on orange UK
I have a HTC Tytn with 6.5 (23060)
The Tytn gets the SMS strange symbols when I get Voice message
My HTC HD phone on Orange has Miri 6.5 (21876) V13
Voice messge icon works OK on this
so I would think it maybe win 6.5.3 / Orange problem

You should try calling your phone and leaving a voice message. Orange have a strange issue that I've helped people on xda with before in that if you hang up to soon after deleting voicemail the voicemail icon doesn't disappear. It could be that your phone isn't translating the sms that's sent to display the voicemail icon properly and the sms keeps being sent to you cos Orange thinks you've still got one.
1. Call yourself and leave a voicemail
2. Call you voicemail from your phone and listen to the message
3. Delete the message (option 3 I think) but wait about 5 seconds before hanging up
If you then stop recieving the sms and you're no longer told you got voicemail then great.
4. Leave yourself another message and see if you get the proper icon or a strange text
If you get the strange text then you'll need to do some research into it. I used to get it when I had a Prophet on Orange so take a look in that forum as there was a fix for it.

HTC HD2 replies going to wrong contact

Hi, Cant see an answer or thread about this so here goes. If this has been posted elsewhere please excuse me ..
My HTC HD2 has a random problem when replying to SMS messages. If I use REPLY ,or tag onto the last part of a 'conversation' with a contact, the message has occasionally been going to another contact. It still shows in the 'conversation' with the intended recipient but has actually gone to another....
Hope I've explained that ok .. Any help gratefully received.
Cheers, Will

Lately, I've been getting a few "wrong number" SMSs on my TMOUS HD2, as well as a friend (on AT&T) constantly missing SMSs that have been sent to her from various friends. So far, I believe all my SMSs have went through properly, as far as I can tell.
I'm starting to wonder if it's all coincidence, or something with the carriers.

SMS Problems when text is longer than one page

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anybody can help me with this problem I am having with my Samsung Galaxy i5800...
Sometimes when I receive a text message that is longer than the maximum number of characters in 1 text message...my phone will mix the remainder of the text up with a previous message from my inbox.
Does anybody know what the problem could be here? I have tried deleting my convos and minimizing the number of messages in each convo to no more than 500 and the problem still occurs. I took the phone to the carphone warehouse where they installed the most recent software onto the phone but I am still convinced this is a problem with the software and not the network - never had this kind of trouble with my network and I have been with them for at least 5 years.
Cheers,
Lewis

This doesn't answer your problem completevely, but you could use an alternative messaging application. At least as a workaround if you can't get this fixed, maybe you could use it only for longer messages or something.

Or try reinstall soft.
