Don't you hate when you are having a great convo with someone, missed a great party, or showed up to work late cause of a delayed or getting no text at all. Arrrg I hate delayed texts. Freaking shocks me when I get a call and then all of sudden 20 texts come in all at once. Wish there was fix. Latest guys.

I've been having this issue too. Is it a problem on spirnt's end or a manufacturer hardware/software issue?
Best is when texts arrive out of sequence and delayed.
I hope most people realize texts are not as reliable as email, especially when sent between different providers.
No problems here but I did have this issue all the time with Alltell before AT&T bought em
Yeah, I get this problem quite often between my wife and me. It seems to be random when it happens. I'm thinking it's a Sprint issue, not hardware or software.
just stopped in to flame for your use of "convo" lol. I personally hate having a text conversation, that's why I have a phone. I try to keep texts short and sweet.

That happened to me last night, I got 44 texts all at once and a pissed off girlfriend.
Happening to me as well. Texted my wife "Stopping for dinner - do you want anything?". Got her reply after I walked in the door - with food only for me!

ahaha that must have went well...
A phone call will "normally" fix it. Sometimes it wont even make a call while this is happening.
Instant messaging seems to be the only way, other than a phone call, to ensure messages get through. And avoid pissed off wives/girlfriends.
I know, I am starting to rely on using google chat/trillian to get my message thru to the wife friends and all. I like the one about getting food for himself, that happened to me the other day and I was a unhappy camper sharing with the wife. But the thing is phone conversations i hate cause of akward silence. Texts is just straight to the point and easy to hide. hahaha
Look on the bright side.. You get free mobile-mobile. It takes 20 seconds to ask the question and receive an answer vs sending a text, waiting for it to be received and acknowledged.
This has to be one of those generation gap things. For years I hated texts and texting, still do. However it is beneficial to non time critical events.

and for those times where you cant call.
I don't know if im clients or google voice would eat up more battery. I used to go the gv route since that goes through the internet and not sms with the carrier. Of course it helps if the other side had gv too.
sucks big time!

I'm sorry if theres been a million of these posts but i seriously regret buying one and now its too late to send it back because its taken me over a month to realise how bad it really is.
Now dont get me wrong, its an amazing piece of kit but its horribly let down by terrible software.
Main features rarely work, Everyone is aware of the LAGGY text problem the terrible text input software, the fact that it loses data connection all the time and has to be restarted to work again, When i come out of standby alot it doesn't work and the buttons light up and i have to take the battery out.
The phone is unresponsive and laggy alot to name but a few.
Its driving me insane, i want to get rid of it but i cant, i'd sell it on but my girlfriend dropped it and scratched it devaluing it and TBH, i'd feel bad selling it to someone knowing how bad it is.
send it back to htc for repair. that **** don't happen with mine!!!!

indeed, only had mine around a fortnight but i havent had any real issues with the phone...not even the camera bugs that were supposed to be wrong with it...all my texts go through straight away same with emails n what not
think these devices are very hit n miss you either get a decent one or a sucky one
appears you got the latter, send it to htc, tell them you want a working version of the phone!
Yeah, send it back to HTC for servicing, it sounds like a **** batch
Tell me this, did you get your phone expecting the best thing ever, and it sort of was until these problems came about but you thought you would hold out for a fix/fixes. Still waiting out you lost your patience and want something that simply WORKS?
I'd agree with what people are saying, sending it back because really, it shouldn't be so unusable. Give them a sharp angry tone, it might quicken up the fixes release for the rest of us!

Anyway, you do know that it doesn't send the text directly to the phone don't you? It doesn't mean it'll get there quicker if they're right next to each other

Like most of the people here I have not had a single problem with the device. I did however have to loosing connection but that was easily fixed because of a discrepancy between what the htc wizard set up as my internet connection and that which it really was. I'm on the dutch KPN network and instead of the portal being "portalmmm.nl" it should be "internet". No problem since.

yeah, i know, would expect an sms to be sent within 20minutes though!
was saying they're right next to eachother so i wasnt waiting for a reply from someone i would know exactly when the text came through.
i sent a text to my boss yesterday and i havent been sacked so im guess ing that one didnt go through either
Yeah well, When i say she dropped it, it was from 2ft and the phone would have been fine normally but it hit a stone with scratched it.
I had these problems before anyhow and i was waiting as someone said...for updates to fix it, there have been many updates with no fixes and any fixes i do get are user created ones!
I had an Iphone previously which worked fine and was a bit slow at times i didnt expect the HD2 to be the best thing ever but i expected it to be quicker than my iPhone, i couldnt foresee the problems the HD2 would have as ive had HTC's in the past with no problems and i rate the company very highly.
I'm just so dissapointed.
I got the mobile through Mobilephones direct with T-mobile contract, who do i get in contact with? Mobilephones direct? T-mobile or HTC?

Yeah man, factory reset's, updated the rom, tried all versions and still get same problems.
I'm another person who's had no problem with the device - and I am quite demanding. I have not made any changes to the device as delivered other than registry tweaks. I did run the HTC official quick-fixes, found they caused chaos and assiduously removed them all. All the software I've installed has been well-tried commercial stuff.
The only unusual thing I have to do is to disconnect data services before I go to bed, otherwise it won't sync with MyPhone...
i experience kinda the same problems, laggy texting or even no texting at all until restart, data connection dropping and again needing restart...
but still most of the times it works great, better than any previous phone i had. despite these little annoyances i still say i love my hd2 and wouldnt trade it for any iToy.
hd2 issue..tg01
i have the tg01 and i love it..i was having issue with the phone as well and discovered that if you install certain programs to the sd card it makes the phone laggy..and have to reboot....i had the spb shell 3.5 and i installed it on the sd card and it was laggy and the 3d accelerator didnt work..so i uninstalled and installed it on the phone and ...now the phone is very stable..havent had any issue...food for thought...
I have twice now had my phone send text messages it said were going to one person to a completely different person. This wasnt like me clicking on the wrong thread in the Messages app. This was opening up a new message and replying to it, whereupon as soon as i pressed send the whole screen loaded a different thread where the reply i thought i had just sent to the original person had gone to this other random one.
This is stock deodexed 2.2.
Yes I have had this happen many many times. It is very annoying and I have learned to double check and check again where my message is going. Not good when they go to the wrong places. I am on Damage 3.5

I haven't had that happen to me yet but I do have a similar issue. When I open up a thread it opens another one that wasn't even next to the intended thread.

No bit my brother had that happen few days ago with his incredible.. I had trouble with receiving texts 15 later then when they sent the txt. Timestamp be earlier than when I got it. And sometimes the timestamp will say its from the future the next day lol. Asked a sprint Rep and he said its a HTC problem and will comeout with a fix. So far I'm good at receiving texts right away. Was bugging me out and gf would txt and say well must be busy all the time..

This has happened to me a lot, and I've had 3 different evo's due to other issues, so its definetly not hardware related. Mine will do the same thing, I will click on somebody's thread, type the message, hit send, then when it goes back to the main screen, I see it sent to someone else.
Let's just say I have sent some things that I THOUGHT was going to my girlfriend, but instead went to my boss. That made for an awkward conversation the next day.
thought I was going crazy. happened to me once when I was either cm6, or fresh, cant remember.
But I replied to recently received message, and it went to a completely different person. The problem was it was something private, that I didn't want the dude even knowing -.-
happens to me too. and the"tapped one thread and another thread opens " bug.
Ive always tried to handle personal things with calls, this is a good example of why.

I've never had it with Handcent *hint hint!*
I had this happen earlier to me but I just figured I made a mistake, I'll have to watch out for it from now on. It also started giving me an error saying Radio Interface Resource Shortage but when I tried to call someone it did something that cleared it up.
This just started happening to me recently too. Seems to happen most when trying to do to much too fast. For example, type a message, hit send. Then hit back before the message sends and trying to open a new one real quick. It pretty much happens like clockwork.
This is with handcent on cm6. All in all its a minor inconvenience.
This happens to me at least once per week. As a former BlackBerry Tour owner, I was already used to this sort of bug!
Recently, I added my buddy to my family account and had his evo set up just like he said he saw mine as. During the course of about an hour or two of rooting, flashing, and downloading; I started getting the same text message he sent me from the parking lot to ask what I needed from Wendy's, and so far I've received it 38 times TODAY.
I thought this was his doing because of some odd setting I must have set, or a wrong sequence of flashing... perhaps forgetting to wipe a cache at a particular time?
The problem is, I also got a text from my girlfriend, and although not as bad, I've been getting the same one about a dozen times. She's on USCC.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? I've become paranoid to the point to where I've flashed cm7, and wiped all data without a restore, but I still get the same problem. Anything I could do?
Thank you in advance for your time, all feedback is appreciated.

Oh wow! I actually do have an airave, but although the bulk of this was happening at home, I was still receiving some of these duplicates in the car.
That's pretty bad man, and it only started affecting me today :/

Had the same issue. The problem starts with the airave. Unplug it, then call sprint, tier two support. They flush something and it goes away.
I've have mine unplugged now, since it was the root of the problem. I would rather roam then go thru sms hell again.

I received about 50 from my dad the other day. I ahd no idea it was the airave because I received a couple more at work the next day... thanks
experienced repeated sms messages last night at home as well. unplugged the airave and the issue stopped... i also got flooded with what seemed to be backed up sms messages as well.
same problem and have the airave.
lol luckily i have never been the recipient of this, but i sure feel sorry for my friends... haha. Happened quite a few times.
its not the air rave, i have it but i received my duplicated txt's when i wasn't near it. try 30 something miles away from it.
i called in and im waiting on an engineer to call me back in an hour
AHA! Same thing happened to me last night. My dad kept sending me "Yanks and Sox are playing on channel 1127." I called him up bragging that there was something wrong with his recently purchased iPhone 4. Turns out it was me.
I had the same thing happen when i was with verizon unfortunately, seems sprint isn't the only one.
So, for the longest time...my mom has been claiming that she cannot answer phone calls on her DX.
The general custom would be to call her, let it ring a couple times, hang up, and wait for her to call back.
I mean this has been going on since she first got the phone.
A year ago.
Turns out...I was showing her a feature of gingerbread (text reply after ignored call) and I'm sitting next to her...and I call her.
She taps the red tab.
"No mom, ignore the call."
She taps it again.
"Mom...are you serious?"
(getting frustrated with my condescending remark) "OK! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!?"
She didn't realize those were sliders...all this time...holy ****.
Lmfaooo that is great! That would totally be my mom if she ever even got an Android phone lol...
I was raving about the X a few months before it came out...
And she ordered one and got it on the release date, same as me.
She has a total of about 10 non-stock applications...
One of them being launcher pro that I FINALLY convinced her to use.
I'm curious what the appeal is if she literally only uses it as a phone.
No browser use...never checks for application updates...

Hey now...I've shown her countless roms and such.
She still insists it's "illegal" and will break her phone.

Are you in a bad signal area? I think if it affected all android users more people would have a similar experience. I've noticed that happen in the XDA app, it seems to be better on MIUI than CM7 though, I don't know why.
i have never had this happen. i have only had owned the Dinc, with verizon, have had it since feb 2011. my wife has same phone purchased at the same time, as far as i know she does not have that issue either.
she did however have the problem of not getting text and phone calls.
i was however able to figure out the problem, after spending several hours with techs and a new phone, nothing helped. i had asked a tech at the begining if changing the phone number would help and they of course shot that down, well after the new phone and hours of reseting and trying this and that, i finaly tallk my wife into changing her number, even though it was poo pooed by the tech. guess what! fixed the problem imidiately, have not had that problem since.
sorry i know there are other threads, abourt this subject, but never realy got to tell what happen.
