Hi,
I updated my ROM as soon as it came out in January.
I have been using my HTC HD2 on and off over the last two months due to its niggles but thought I would give the phone one more chance.
To my dismay again - I having issues with sending and incoming text messages.
For example
There was about a 3 hour window today where I suspect I was not receiving any text or sending any.
I noticed this because I phoned vodafone to give me an automated SMS message to tell me how many mins I got left. But after 2 attempts and left it for 90 mins, no messages came through.
I also sent out a couple of texts but noticed the delivery reports were shown as not delivered. These were two several different people.
So I thought this must be my phone then.
I switched off my phone and back on again, voila the messages I had sent were delivered 30 secs after my phone was switched back on.
I phoned up Vodafone again to get automated text message - viola the sms came within 5 seconds.
Question
What cause the cessation of incoming and outgoing messages in that 3 hour window? Could an app/update running in the background could have caused this?
Is this a common issue even with the latest official ROM update? Is there a fix?
Please help as this issue along with short battery life is making me thing whether to get rid of phone.
But I also love the other features of the phone - for that reason I want this fundamental feature of sending/receiving SMS message to be resolved.
Thanks -rant over
that sounds just like the original sms problem.
did you use backup software when you upgraded? with the wrong settings, when you restore it can cause problems by writing back some old system files.
could be as easy as a hard reset.
no I did not use any backup software. literally just installed the new ROM and then had to install all my programs manually in again. any ideas? it does seem like the old sms issue as the problem is much less frequent but annoying nonetheless lol.

Sorry to hear all your disappointing references your having with your HD2.
I not long after getting myne when had rom 1.48 and now 1.66 never have had any SMS problems(although a fix was installed by HTC straight away apon purchase)
I then installed a app to disable Sence Sms (sorry cant find where i got it from) being processed by Sence as it created a few limitations i liked in windows sms .
Any way by shifting the total responsibility back to Windows Sms functionality > i have never to today experienced a single problem with stuck sms.
I hope this helps.
but my problem is very intermittent. could a program running in the background cause this issue
I have an O2 HD2 which came with ROM V1.43 i had no issues with sms. I installed the V1.66 ROM...still no issues! It may be something to do with your network? might be worth trying a different networks sim card to prove???
I thought the same but i have no issue with my old phone. strange huH?
ive had very annoying occurrence happen recently and i havent done anything major to make it happen that im aware of. im running an x10a that i've put the 2.1 official decrypted rom on, rooted and installed the multitouch kernel. i never had any problems after doing all this...this happened later.
if my text messages are too long (I dont know how many characters) but im assuming when it gets to "2nd message length" it always says cannot send. as soon as i shorten the message it will send without fail...everytime. this is driving me nuts, does anyone have any ideas? i've taken the battery out several times for 30 seconds, deleted call logs and message logs. i dont run any other 3rd party messaging app either. does anyone have a clue what this is about? im using ATT. Help!
sorry, meant to post this in x10 section. mod, please delete?
I searched the forums to see if anyone else noticed these issues. First I upgraded via the exe file from samsung and I even did a wipe of my sd card after backing it up...
I am on stock eb13 and not rooted..
My issue is this, sometimes when trying to send text messages they get stuck with sending and don't actually send... I am kinda assuming this is happening after receiving a picture or sending a picture, but I am not sure on this because I can't make it produce this problem on a constant basis.. the only thing that seems to fix this is rebooting the phone.. then the text messages that all had sending on them will send all at once..
Second issue is today I wanted to send a funny animated picture text I received to mutiple people and while typing the peoples names in I would get multiple force closes.. the only way it seemed to work was using the contacts then choosing the names that way... I didnt fully test this to see if that was the work around and was curious if anyone else were getting forces closes...
Overall my experience with the stock sms app has been very annoying. D118 worked far better for me in the sms category..
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter....

Regarding the stuck on Sending... this is a problem with 2.2 and there is no fix yet. It has been present since DK28 but is completely random on when it occurs; sometimes you go a month+ before it happens, other times hours.
When it happens, go to settings/applications/manage/running and FC the messaging app. When you reopen it, it should send. Only other option is reboot and it will send.

My Evo is known for getting stuck receiving the SMS messages. Never have been able to figure it out. very frustrating indeed so i feel your pain
Thanks for the replies.. much appreciated..

To tell you the truth I don't think I've ever ran into this problem myself...the only way I'm stuck on sending is if in a bad service area which is common, did you try to a hard reset possibly? I'm not much help on android development, but starting from scratch may help?

I have seen issues like this with sprint in general, not just on my Epic. Sometimes texts just won't send. Other times you get like 4 or 5 texts that get delivered late.
I know that your issue is probably software related though. I really don't like the 2.2 messaging app. The one on 2.1 worked great
I've also had this issue, back to when I had the Moment. Same fix for me, reboots and whatever I thought was already sent, finally sends. At least I have an excuse for when my gf wonders why I haven't responded to her texts lol
I've only had this problem since getting EB13. I've found that if you go into RAM manager via task manager and do a level 2 memory clear, it shuts down a critical SMS process and the phone will refuse to send any SMS until the the phone is rebooted.
By chance have you been clearing memory in RAM manager on the new EB13?

I know that I do, I actually do this rather frequently when I want to make sure my music player or game or anything else isn't still running in background. Not going to do a memory clear the entire day and see if this error still comes up.

Let us know your results, I'm fairly certain this is the cause of my SMS issues. I haven't done a level 2 ram clear in a couple of days and have had zero SMS issues since.

I've been having the same issue too, and I can also confirm that I no longer have this problem by not using level 2 clears.
I'm having problems still and data problems..
Although I found out yesterday that Sprint put up a new tower in my area (south bend, in) and the problems won't be fixed for about a month :/
at least i know it's (most likely) not my phone
I am having similar issues. Just activated my phone, about an hour later I am using Syndicate 1.0.2
I can receive texts, but am getting "Failed" sent texts. Cleared my ram. Reboot. Still having issues.
I'm going to get to bed, and hope the problem is gone in the morning =P
EDIT: Well I figured out my issue. I tried to make a call this morning and got directed to SPRINT. Sprint apparently had to finish activating my phone... now texting works. hah! I feel kind of silly now for worrying about it.
Hi,
I have been running Quarx2k the defy+ 11.05.2012 Nightly since it was uploaded.
However I am from time to time having problems with SMS's not getting sent and two times (I only make calls a few times a week) I have had the phone audio "stop" - Meaning that the counter keeps going, but the audio cuts off. I can't even hang up the call, only rebooting phone seems to help.
I have 2G/3G, so could network switching be a problem?
Have anyone else had similar problems? Did you manage to solve them?
I would like to update the wiki (Where sms and phone is listed as working perfectly).
I have the same problem with sms in CM9-NIGHTLY-120526-Defy+ (Quartz).
Failure in the first shipment of the messages, and sends it on the second attempt. I don't know how fix this problem

Please do 2 steps, check and give a feedback:
1. in widgets settings for network change from default 2G/3G+2G to 2G/only 3G/3G+2G, change your network through widget to 2G/3G
2. baseband switcher - switch to the latest for your region and reboot
Hi, I have a strange problem. Whenever someone sends me a picture message I need them to send it twice in order to get the first message to download. If who ever is sending the picture only sends it once it will never download no matter how long I wait or how many times I click on 'download'.
I am rooted on the Telus network running Bobcat Rom v9. I had v7 and at first the picture would download but this problem eventually started, I have tried wiping and re-wiping and eventually updating to v9.
I have confirmed my apn settings many times. I was hoping that someone has experienced this before or at least heard about it. I tired searching this problem on Google and on the forms but perhaps I am not wording it correctly.
I am never connected to WiFi.
