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.
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=812&news_id=407

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

TMOUS HD2 Problem: Texts being recieved by multiple people!

My HD2 is sending text messages to other people that are in my text log. I don't know why. I've done a factory reset on it. I haven't installed any roms or anything. This is straight out of the box t-mobile hd2 (US). This is a serious breach of privacy if I'm texting my gf!
Please advise

Just from a quick google I found two other posts with this same issue on other websites.
hxxp://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44927

Only possible fix is replacing my sim card? Its less than a year old.

No one else on xDa having this problem?

I don't know what to do I bought the phone from someone online, I can't even get it traded from t-mobile.

no SMS problem here on AT&T with HD2 t9193

my texts work fine, except that if my friend replies in the same minute as me, their text goes above mine, but that is only minor nuisance. i haven't experienced anything you talk about. sorry i can't help.

wow, how am I the ONLY person with this issue on xda

I am having the same issue. It is sending texts to wrong person who is already in the text log...not to multiple people though. I bought my hd2 from tmobile store. I enabled the traditional mode in the text settings and that took care of the text messaging problem. looks like there is some bug in the sms software loaded on hd2.

me too.

Thank God I am not crazy. I thought that it was me. I sent a text message to one person and three people responded?!?! Irealized I was not crazy when two contact pictures showed up in the original persons thread of messages. I need to know what the fix is myself. I will call customer service tonight to let them know. I will report back with any news,

one of my friends had this same issue I planned on changing the rom on her phone but if something else works let me know thanks!

I got the problem to go away after I imported all the contacts from the SIM. Do this and report back if this worked for you guys. Good luck!

Do you mean add all the contacts "to" the sim card? All I have done was use the microsoft myphone feature to grab all the contacts. please clarify a bit for me. thanks.

Im having the same problem on my hd2 (us) as well. I even exchanged it and Iv had it for about 3 days and am still having the same problem. Does getting a new sim card for sure fix the problem 100%?

I returned the first HD2 I had and got another one. The problem went away until today. Not pleased. I swear, I have never had the amount of problems with a phone - out the box - that I am having with this phone.

There should be a program called SIM MANAGER you click on that and copy all your sim contacts to your phone. I think that is what he meant.

Have you tried removing HTC messaging and going with a different program?

Hate to not stay on topic here, but for this issue, I found out that hd2 uses client time for outgoing messages, but server time for incoming ones, which is why they seem out of order. Syncing the time fixed it for me.

^ How did you snyc the time?

No problem here..thats kinda odd indeed

Unable to send messages from WildFire

Hi to all,
Unfortunately,for several days unable to send massages from WildFire.
When i trying to send msg i get notice-"unable send message after multiple attempt".
By the way i tried to enter into a 'Service Center' but there isn't option to change something there.
Any advise?
Thanks in advance.

My girlfriend has the same issues with her Wildfire, both using the buildin SMS application and with ChompSMS.
Some times she gets the error too (several times a day) and she has to resend the messages. The really weird stuff is though, that the receiver actually sometimes do get the message the first time resulting in that the receiver gets the message several times.
And I have the exact same issue with my Desire.. Right now I'm searching high and low for a solution. I've talked to my provider (BiBoB, Denmark, using Telenors network), and they've told me that they could not see anything unusual about the message, so it would either be our phones or our SIM cards.
Since some others have problems too, I suspect Android.

I think it something wrong with my sim card,because,if i change the phone to desire i also can't to send sms.and another sim cards works fine with wildfire and desire.
so i need to check with my provider what the problem.

Facebook to blame for identical problem
Had this problem with my wife's Wildfire last night. Turns out, Facebook was to blame.
The number of the person she was sending the text to changed on Facebook to the format "447### ######" instead of "07### ######". The link between the contact on the phone and Facebook meant the Facebook contact number became the default for that person and as the number wasn't valid, it failed when trying to send a text message or dial a voice call.
Fortunately, the contact in question was me so I removed my number from Facebook and the one on the handset started to work again....

Are you trying to send an SMS or MMS ?
For MMS you need to configure the APNs of your provider:

Yeah i've been there too.
If you long-press on the message that went wrong and select info, then you will see what number the sms went to for real.
This started when I used an app (think it was SMS Popup).
Now I only use handcent and haven't seen this problem since.

Android bug. Nothing you can do really except if you use a third party messaging app. Wait for a fix from Google.

Thanks you guys help~~
Trying^^

message not sent....

hi there i dont know if im in the right section but i need your help. my gf is in uk now and she had put her o2 number to her htc wildfire. the problem is everytime i sent her an sms she has to compose an new sms instead of replying me because everytime she reply's me it says " message not sent" and the problem is id does this only if i sent her an sms. if i sent from an other phone it works fine. i told her to put her SIM card to an other phone an put an other number to the htc and i sent an sms to both numbers just to see if its the SIM fault or the phone and both numbers worked fine :S
the problem is only when she puts o2 number back to the htc. i search all over the web and i even try the tutorial about the Handcent SMS and still no luck. is there something else i must do?

Same thing happens when my girlfriends mother texts her, they are both on o2 but the opposite way round, my girl has a wildfire and her mother a really old Samsung. Her mum cannot reply to messages from my girlfriends wildfire but can send them back if she starts a new message, I thought it was just a one off bug in her mums phone till I read this. Maybe its a bug in o2's system.
Dunno how to fix it though sorry.
