I have a problem with the incoming SMSs ,when I receive a sms the time on it is lagging behind my DELL STREAK set time,when I select either internet time or service provider time. Eg time set through internet is 7.00 PM but when I receive a reply for my msgs/sms it is 6.50 PM ,thus it is lagging behind,and the sequence of the msg thread becomes upside down.If I correct this lag by manually setting the time,my mobile clock becomes 9-10 mins behind actual time.how do i correct this?the sim works fine in other handsets.
Sounds like its the sms app itself, try looking through in app preferences for time stamp issues if that doesnt work try "go sms" free from the market, it has various fixes, troubleshooting options which may isolate the problem
Ya mine does the same thing on the Rogers network. It's pretty frustrating - I tried some different apps, the is an sms time fix on the market that worked, but then it broke my notifications, so the sms would come in showing the right time, but I wouldn't be notified of new messages, so that didn't work for me.
As mentioned above, the best remedy for me was to use another sms app, like go sms or I actually prefer Handcent SMS, all free from the market, Handcent SMS fixed the time issue and also has some other cool features that I like including an unread reminder etc.
I'm not sure why no one knows what causes this or how to fix it in the native app, but either way, the other sms apps are better anyway so you win in the end

What settings do you use on Handcent? I'm on Rogers too and my SMS come in with a -4 hour timestamp. Not all though, but some. So it's pretty weird.
isnt the time stamp on a text, the time it was sent not the time it was recieved. So maybe you phone is just taking ages to recieve texts?
No, it doesn't take 4 hours to recieve a text. Something is screwing up the incoming text's timestamp. When I get a text without first texting someone, it displays the correct incoming timestamp, but if I close Handcent and then open again, it will show that message as -4 hours. The minutes remain correct though. But if I text someone and they reply, the timestamp remains correct. Been trying different settings in the Recieved Messages menu. Provider's delievery report checked, unchecked. Handcent delievery report checked, unchecked. Combinations of the two. Offset recieved messages by -4 hours. Can't seem to fix that little quirk.

Or actually, not completely randomly, as it happens ever time with certain SMS senders. The weather, for one, always triggers MMS. I never see the message in the SMS inbox, only MMS. I don't believe there is anything but text in the weather messages. They used to come in normally when I first got the XDA II (a week ago), and this problem just started yesterday.
Ideas?
Somebody cracked/hacked the OS SMS app and posted it over on PDAPhoneHome:

It's working on my 8125 so far. It's kind of limited (all notifications and SMS related events still open the Outlook/Text Message app), but if you're having a conversation with one person it seems to work nicely.

o2sms
i have been using this program and its great, i keep it minimized so when i get a text i just hit the icon and just use it for my sms. the only problem i have is i wish i didnt have to manually open the message so that the notification goes away. i have been looking for a reg hack that will still notify me via tone and vibration when a text comes in, but doesnt sit in the notification area. i aslo use pocketplus which allows you to preview texts and reply from them from the today screen, and right now im kind of torn between the two.
Hmmmm...I'm not using PocketPlus and I can also preview text messages and reply from the Today screen, are you sure that's not a WM5 attribute?
But you're right, it would be nice to have all the alerts, and default SMS handling go through this app, and I know there are some developers working on just that. But until then, this helps a bit.
I only use it when I get a message that I expect to turn into a conversation with lots of back and forth dialog. Most are ask/answer/done or just informational, but a few I get during my week I can pretty easily tell will involve several back and forth points. Other's text usage may not be so clear cut so this partial functionality is not good enough.

O2SMS
I am using the wizard and used the O2SMS programs for a few months. I often use the program to send to a group. I notice sometimes that while sending out to his group (1 by 1) the program will stop sending and close. Does anyone else have this issue..if not any suggestions to fix
thanks
screenshot please
I've used O2 SMS Plus also, but I must say that Palm Messaging is more, if not fully!, intergrated in the "system"
yes
i love palm messaging
I am after a small program that will beep every minute when you have unread text messages. This means that when I get a message and I am not within earshot it will be beeping when I am in earshot and I should miss fewer of my girlfriends text messages.
Anyone know of anything that can do this (or how to reconfigure the software already present so it achieves the same result).
PhoneAlarm will do what you need. Their web site is www.pocketmax.net but then again it is not a small program as apart from repeating missed call, unread SMS, MMS and e-mails it has a host of other functions such as profiles. Some also say that it tends to slow down the device. Anyway I am more than satisfied and suggest you give the free trial version a go.
Regards
Cool. Shall give it a whilr when I get time.
Any other options? Maybe free tools or something smaller?
Hey guys, currently on this setup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827593, and have been suffering proper lag with SMS. I have well over 4000 texts, but recently I've noticed proper speed issues.
For one thing, the phone first lights up, waits about 7 seconds, and then shows the text (using sms popup in handcent sms). The second issue is sometimes, texts come in a lot later than they should. I've noticed getting about 3 texts after I send one, like after I send a text I'm reconnected. It's random though, usually get texts at the right time. Sound familiar? Cheers.
4ooo texts... I think you should start deleting a bit... In any case that will help!!!
1-save your texts with sms backup.
2-use HandCent SMS app ***
3-delete your texts
defs delete sum of ur texts lol.... even if its just 1k wud probz make whole loada difference
I'm having this strange issue where my messenger has decided to start converting conversations to MMS automatically for some reason. It seems to be when I am texting iphone users, but I can't 100% confirm that.
For simplicity's sake let's say I start a new text message conversation with someone. I add them to the recipients section and send them a message. First one works fine. Now I press the back key to go back to the screen where all my conversations are shown. Instead of the contact name that was there when I started conversation, the phone number is displayed followed by the @provider.com (IE [email protected]). If I go back into the conversation i get a little popup at the bottom saying "Converting to MMS." The contact at the top is still listed as the phone number and not the contact name. If I try sending a message it doesn't go through.
I scrolled through my conversation window and I noticed that my phone also converted several old conversations in this same fasion (changed the recipient to a [email protected]). Now anytime i need to send a text to one of these people I have to start a new conversation every single time.
I tried to clear cache out and data for the messaging app and it continued to happen. The weirdest part about this is that the default messaging app, and gosms both convert the conversations, but textra does not.
Has anyone ever experienced this type of behavior before? I did some googling but couldn't turn anything up.
Something similar: when I write slightly longer SMS, it tells me: converting to mms, and they don't go through. This didn't happen to my previous phones. . But I did not notice the change in recipient ID.

I think you cab set the max length inside an XML in system. I can't remember which duke though, sorry.
It sounds like you have a short limit, which causes the text to become an MMS.
