Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem as me.
Every now and again I'll send a text message to someone (or sometimes a few people) and then I'll get a text back from them saying that I only needed to send it once as they'd received it twice.
Now, as far as I can tell, this is gonna be eating into my text bundle (which I'm not too happy about!) and wondered if anyone else has experienced this with their device?
I had this last night.... I sent an SMS to my Dad the day before... and last night he rang me up asking why I sent it again..... I had no idea!! Nothing to do with Orange is it??
Nope, nothing to do with the Orange network as a mate of mine has just bought an O2 XDA II and he's sent a few texts which I've received twice.
Dears, I guess you have Sbp Pocket Plus 2.0 or 2.1 installed in your xda, it creats the problem of sending doublicate messages.
The Solution???
In the options, do not use the "close" feature in Pocket Plus, simply take out the tick in the "Close" feature, then try to send SMS. Your imate, or xda, or wshatever, will work ok afterthen!!!
Ahhh, right...
I'll try adding an exclusion to the list for "tmail.exe" (which is what PocketPlus identifies it as) and see if I get any more problems...
Cheers for that

I will give that a go myself... see if that sorts the problem.

I don't have it (SPB Plus) but I have the same problems! ITS A CON Back in the days of free texts on Pay as u go on o2 I noticed this.... MY SMSC (Text Message Service Centre Number) had changed because I was investigating why my friends where recieving multiple copys of messages on seeing that the smsc number had changed once i had added (Whats now called a 'bolt on') to my number I changed it back to the original once that was done I STILL Recieved my free messages and the multiple copys had stopped
this used to happen with me , i tried this solution and it worked with me
when u send any message, DO NOT exit the sms program until u get a sent message confirmation and that won't happen.

That seems to have done the trick...
Yep, adding tmail.exe to the exceptions list works like a charm - nice-1

Have added the tmail.exe to exception list hope this works
Hello,
I seem to be having an issue with the time stamps on my text messages. The ones that I send are okay, however the ones that I receive all have different times on them. For example:
If I send a text at 8:15PM and receive a reply right away, it'll show my text sent at 8:15PM, but the reply will have a back dated time... Maybe 5PM, 4PM... something like that.
Any ideas why?
Thanks!
I find this but its by no means universal. some messages I recive are an hour ahead others are not. I recived two messages at almost the same time & one of them had the wrong time. I can't wait for the new update to fix all of these little issues
I've seen this problem since my G1. It's still suffering from it, as is my Magic and my Hero.
I'm still having the same issue.
My received text messages show a time of 4 hours behind.
So if I send a text at 6:30 and receive a reply at 6:32, it shows 2:32 as the received time.
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this? I have updated to the latest (leaked) firmware, but still no luck.
Thanks!
Are you all on the same network? Might not be the phone because i've never noticed this

Was just going to ask this... What network are you on, have you set network location to automatic by carrier, if so, set it manually to the city / country you are in.
I'm on O2 and have been using the network provided values.
I've set it to manual and text someone at 12:44. The reply came in a little while after and was stamped 12:45 so no issue there it seems. Strange.
I'm now getting issues now with texts in fairly quick succession.
The time stamps can be the same i.e. 21:17 but a reply from someone will sometimes appear before my original text in thread view.
Also a reply came in to one of my texts with a time stamp before my original text. This was displayed "correctly" as before my text, but the fact its timestamped in this way can't be right.
Anyone else seen this?
It's like the phone is looking at minutes for accuracy, not seconds. Also taking the timestamp of when a text was sent from the other person's phone as the time received to my phone. Hm :/
I get this on Orange when I receive a message from the US. All my outgoing messages are listed at the bottom of the conversation, while the one received from the US are at the top.
UK based conversations are all threaded correctly.
Ok thanks.
It never used to be like this so I'm wondering after prolonged use the sms database gets a bit corrupted somehow?
For me it seems to behave like this: for outgoing (sent) messages I see the time that is set on Hero. For incoming messages, however, Hero shows the time on the network provider.
I assume there is some header in SMS message containing the time, and Hero uses that instead of using the time Hero has when the message arrives.
I started using the Network Provider time (automatic) to get rid of this.
Hey guys, I havent heard anyone talking about this but i discovered e bug today!
So here's how it goes :
1: I was typing my sms halfway to person A
2: I went to type another half sms to person B
3: I went back to person A's incomplete sms, completed the message and sent out
OUTCOME: The msg went to person B instead!! But on my message chat log, it says that the msg was sent correctly to person A!
Anyone having this problem? So far I only heard of msg getting stucked in outbox, havent heard of this yet!!
why send 2 messages at the same time? seems a bit confusing!
because I was composing a long message to A. Then B needed me to sent an urgent reply over. So I decided to send B a reply first before continuing to compose e long msg to A!
Anw that shdn't be the problem since my previous phones can all handle this kind of multitasking!!
Yes ive had this problem of a message going to the wrong person even though in the log it states it didnt. Was quite a embarrassing text as well ):
exactly what happened to me! I hope this is e ONLY way to send a wrong msg to the wrong recipients without realising. SIIIGH
Anyone knows how do I feedback to HTC so they can make a patch or someting?!
i also have same problem as well as having text window open with person A and then person B texts me and it comes up on same window as my person A page. so now im replying right after this text of person B thinking im replying to person A and it goes to B. this is after i installed cookie home tab 185 and editor 1851 and then resinstall 185 and same thing. now it can also be after that one sms hotfix that is on hd2 site. whatever is the reason is there a way to fix it. also sometimes under swype my delete button wont work for texting but it will work in traditional qwerty so thats another bug as well as when this bug happens i get this other bug when u type with swype every letter has a period like john is j.o.h.n. and space bar wont work.
i dont know whats up right now i backed up with spb backup and will try uninstall cht and see if it was the cause or not but i dont think ive seen any post regarding this issue after posts for cht 185 on xda. any ideas?
i've read several threads about sms messages going to the wrong person.
i would just like some clarification from you guys! are you using HTC's messaging client or are you using windows mobile's default sms messaging application?
personally, i kept HTC messaging disabled on my stock ROM and i'm currently using an NRGZ ROM (Energy ROM "Standard" Sense June 11, 2010) which does away with the HTC messaging out of the box. i much rather like the stock messaging client and it also keeps your messages in a form that is much more friendly and compatible for backup with pimbackup and/or microsoft myphone.
the only reason i'm asking is if someone can confirm if the problem occurs ONLY and SPECIFICALLY with the HTC messaging client or it has also been known to occur when using the stock windows mobile client?
would just like to know if i should also be careful about my messaging practices...
i can confirm its using HTC messaging which i believe is what it uses as stock and when u do factory reset. i have factory reset three times and still get issues.
How do you disable HTC builtin messaging so i can use WinMo one? thanks.
ok i used Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2 to disable HTC and using win mo...it works correctly so far....i have question...how do u turn of the MESSAGE SENT notifcation that pops up after every sent message? i dont see any options for it and under MESSAGE OPTIONS .."request message delivery notification" box is unchecked. thanks

You have to get a registry editor and change these keys:
Code:
[B]HKCU[/B]\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg =1 (default 0)
[B]HKLM[/B]\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg =1 (default 0)

ok i did that and it works thanks...however i didnt have a SMSNoSent available at the HKCU section but I did see it at the HKLM area and enabled to 1.
i have another issue which you may know about. When you send a text...then when that person replies back, you get incoming text notification. When you click to reply to that person and youre in the reply window where the screen is greyish and theres a SEND button thats on the screen itself next to your reply box, sometimes that window shows my reply back to show up before he replied to my original text so its out of order. However, if you go to ALL MESSAGES and view a specific conversation that way then it shows correctly (this is the text reply white window where you see the colors icons next to the names.
Is this bug due to me replying to that text too quickly? so thats why it was out of order. this only happens sometimes ...im going to play around with it to see if it is only due to really quick replies.
Thanks
also i got this other problem. when you are in home screen and you get incoming text you will see the number 1 on your messaging icon and when you click it and reply to text, the number 1 doesnt disappear, it still treats that text you received as new and only way i can get rid of it is delete text which i would rather prefer it disappear after i read text. anyone can help please? thx

This problem was already mentioned here on the forum, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642091&highlight=sms+wrong+contact
One workaround is to use the back or home hard keys instead of the "All Messages" option to travel between conversations.

i got my hd2 on june 1st, 2010. i used the stock ROM for 30 full days with HTC messaging DISABLED (i even wrote a guide about it...search for threads started by me in the HD2 general section). in these 30 days, i learned that disabling HTC messaging had no SERIOUS ill effects, but it did have some annoying odd little problems like you've mentioned in the quoted post above. additionally, my "green LED" would keep flashing for several minutes after reading the last unread SMS. another odd problem was that accessing a contact's page within Sense would work fine until i scrolled to the contact's messaging history tab...it would just close the contact's page altogether! i suspect the reason for this was that this tab relies on a fully working HTC messaging client, which i had disabled!
due to these issues (and a few other issues unrelated to SMS messaging), i decided i had familiarized myself enough with the HD2 and its stock ROM...so i went for a good cooked ROM after a few weeks of research. i highly recommend NRGZ's "energy" ROMs (there are many flavors). all the variants of energy ROMs completely EXCLUDE HTC messaging and the stock messaging works 100% properly with no odd side effects.
you can battle these little issues all you want but you can save yourself some time and effort if you can find a ROM that suits all (or most) of your needs.
PS: it would be nice if someone can suggest even more custom ROMs that also exclude HTC messaging, as described in bold above in the second-last paragraph!

that workaround worked so if im on person A window and i have partial reply text going and get a new text from B and when replyin to B with using back button i can text np.
my thing is sometimes when u have like 4 conversations going ...having it listed like in ALL MESSAGES is useful. im still seeing how having 3 conv. behaves with usin back button but thanks for that.
also since cookie home tab uses htc text app ..i wish i can use the text app that was being used in spb mobile shell 3.5. on that one the gui is better and u just press OK on the partial screen u were on and it will take u back to all messages and u can open and reply anyone n it works. this workaround pressing back key is good but i dont want to hard press a key all the time like this i prefer touchscreen . so in meantime im stickign with my cookie home tab 185 and will use back button for now or winmobile one.
p.s. i tested out this issue on my friends hd2 and neither his htc sense text app or the spb mobile shell text app is buggy and both work correctly. so i either can keep doing factory reset til it works right or deal with it.
The new update maybe can help ...

Hi, I think you didn't realize unfinished texts should be saved as draft, otherwise it reappear in every new message tread input box in hTC message.

After an RMA and getting replacement phone with latest rom i still had the same problem. However, now thers a fix that helped me that TM said it came out june 8th regarding Contacts issue.
My contacts were saved to SIM only so i had this issue regarding texting wrong person. If you save to SIM/PHONE or PHONE only, texting works correctly. So this is the fix for me at least.
At the moment i saved my contacts out of my SIM and into my account. I did factory reset and then tested out texting without any contacts on PHONE or SIM by using numbers. This worked but you may suspect it may be due to using numbers rather than choosing of contact list? I will know soon cuz im waiting for TM to sync up my contacts from my act. to my phone and she had to create a trouble ticket. So when i get my contact list on my phone only, i will try again and make sure its works. Right now im crossing fingers but i believe it will work.

has anyone else had these three issues with handcent sms
i've used the g1 fine since release and have upgraded to the htc desire last week, i find three issues with handcent on the desire
1. the "notification" led stops flashing after a few minutes until i unlock the phone, then it starts flashing again
2. unable to change the LED colour, there is the option in the settings but this merely disables the led when changing the colour
and
3. in the notifcation bar next to the clock, there used to be the handcent envelope and then it would have a number of unread messages - it now just shows the envelope with no number. even though in the settings i've asked it to show the number of unread messages with the envelope
i have played with the settings as i've used it fine with the g1 but cant get any of these things working with the desire, is anyone else facing these issues?
thanks

I also got issues with the LED-Color in handcent...
But for me its more like there is NO led notification even though its activated.
LED me know BETA notifies me very well - so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the led...
I used Handcent for a long time on my Desire - it always worked well.
Last weekend I flashed the new DeFroST-Rom and with this it doesn't work

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:
