@dh101 The battery running down is more likely to be something else. I have not had this issue with SMStomailbox LITE. Are you sure you did not have bluetooth/wifi/GPS on?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh101:
Certain that it was SMStomailbox LITE, as it was the only app that I installed on that day. After activating the app my battery life dropped very quickly. After disabling the app my battery life stayed constant. No other changes were made to the phone in that time. Can't think what else it could have been - although I'd love to be proved wrong as I don't like the idea of missing any more texts!

[ I'll try it again later when I have access to a charger to make sure - can't do it now as I may be caught short. As I mentioned before, I've not heard of anyone else having problems ]

I've looked at the contents of the database and an sms that didnt arrive is not in the database, but I didn't get that in my email either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paranoid2007:
Great, now I'm facing the SMS problem too. Since two days people have started complaining about me not answering.

Congratulations HTC, you did it again. It's so pathetic to release a mobile phone, which even fails to deliver SMS correctly. This fits well in the gallery of HTC release disasters (P3600: crumbling paint; Touch HD: 5 seconds freezes etc.). :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TailsNeon556:
this is a problem on ported versions of the Hero rom on the Dream/G1 as well.. it has to be a software issue.. ive tried various Hero builds and most miss sms messages.. ive found one that doesnt and ive stuck with that for now.. (Drizzy's Full V3) hopefully this gets sorted out soon
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
So, is Drizzy's Full V3 a ported ROM or is it something that we could look at installing on the Hero itself? Maybe someone is able to examine the differences between it and the stock ROM to see if the problem can be located?

I'm starting to reconsider my battery life impressions of SMStomailbox LITE. 42% battery reduction over a period of 9 hours, including google mapping, phone calls, texts, internet browsing etc. with SMStomailbox LITE on at all times. No idea what caused the rapid battery drop before (no changes to the system - must have been a rogue app running in the background).

I'm loving the location data you can include in the emails it sends you to tell you where you were when you received a text/call - no real use for it at the moment for me, but still...

sms 2 mailbox just saved my first sms. And there I was hoping the leaked rom update had fixed it. hah. (that was the first one, installing 2.0 Modaco as we speak!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh101:
kiz, are you saying that texts still go missing with the update that was leaked yesterday? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiz:
no sorry dh101, I hadn't even realised there was a new leaked rom when I wrote that! I was referring to the earlier one.

I've flashed MCR 2.0 (build 2.74.405.5) in my sig and we will see how things get on!

This need to be fixed ASAP. I don't have a Hero myself, but my cousin does and he's not happy at all right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritdaw:
Could everyone please quote what rom and radio you were using at the time you missed messages? Also whether you have any third party sms messaging software installed. I am then quite happy to try and put together a list stating which rom people have missed messages on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallen3:
I reported this problem to HTC and got no help from them. I am now using a fab piece of software SmsToMailbox it forwards all text messages to your email account. I can now see any missing texts they come as an email not as quick as text but at least I see them and now have an automatic backup to all my sms. I know this shouldn't be happening but until there is a fix this system works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justbabu:
I use SMS Backup to do the same thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunt83:
I've been experiencing this issue with a stock Tmobile G2 also.

I'm using handcent sms and initally realised that I was receiving texts without being notified.

But now after some research I am not receiving texts from various ppl. I am receiving texts from my brother but not from a friend. Both are on Tmobile too...

I did a test by sending a message to myself, which I am yet to receive!

Any ideas people??
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewshaft:
I've reported this fault to T-Mobile Technical Support (Nice Scottich lady called Keren) She has told me that nobody has reported the fault to them just yet & that I was the first (Yay 1st at something. Mummy will be proud!) she has promised to call me periodicly to log all of the texts that I am missing.

Unfortunetly any update from HTC will take an age to trickle down to the T-mobile & presumably Orange because both networks love to test things to death
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh101:
SmsToMailbox delivered two texts to me yesterday which the standard text message handler on the phone did not deliver. Both were from the same sender. I'd highly recommend SmsToMailbox - I can't guarentee that it will capture all the missed messages (as there is really no way of knowing), but it is definately catching some (if not all).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
I believe we've had people report losing texts despite having SMS Backup installed. I'm not sure we've had reports of losing texts from those also using SMStoMailbox?

I'm using both. I don't believe I've missed any recently; hard to tell for sure, of course, unless people moan at you for not replying.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunt83:
I've got SMSbackup and it only stores the messages sent/received from the phone.

So even if you sent a txt and it wasn't received by the other person it's still backed up.

This also works for missing texts that haven't been received i.e. it's only backed up if you actually received it...

It's definitely an issue as I sent a text to myself, which was backed up but I am yet to actually receive it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweedie:
Gonna have to try SMSbackup because SMSToMailbox isn't quite perfect for me. Got a right earfull last night 'cos I missed an important text despite SMSToMailbox installed!

I think the problem with SMSToMailbox is that you need an internet connection on all the time which is not always possible when traveling especially on trains.

Failing that, I am pretty much stuffed - will have to try wrangle my money back somehow because surely it not "fit for purpose" and its a software problem that htc isn't too bothered to fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petrowitsch:
Hey people,

unluckily, I have something o contribute to this thread as well.....

As of the moment, I do not receive ANY sms.

When I first got my Hero two days ago, I initially received one sms.

Then I switched to MaDaCo´s ROM 2.2 and since then have not received a single SMS, when at least six were send to me, but surely more.

One thing that I have noticed that was not described in this thread so far, is, that when i get an sms, the notification sound is played and the phone vibrates, as it should. But there neither a notification icon in the notification bar, nor an sms in the app.

I am running the following right now:

firmware 1.5

radio: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

ROM: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 MCR2.2c

apps installed: astrid, bluerss, converter, express news, google sky, google maps, labyrinth lite, layar, locale, nytimes, shazam, taskiller, wikitude, plus the apps supplied with the modaco core rom 2.2

I will try the SMStoMailbox solution now and report the results.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweedie:
Well I tried SMSBackup and it does look more polished because of its threaded message saved to email. Unfortunately it won't solve my problem unless you have uninterrupted internet connection.

I got in touch with HTC as this is ridiculous to have missing text. Their response is encouraging, but who knows.

Well, I guess we will have to wait and see - we did kinda expect an update two weeks ago but fingers cross hopefully the update WILL fix the problem next week, otherwise its unfortunately have to go back as its not fit for purpose.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
unfortunately, petrowitsch is already running the ROM version that is expected to be released next week :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
I have the same MoDaCo ROM/radio as you, and am receiving lots of msgs. I am using SMStoMailbox.

You have some apps that I do not: astrid, bluerss, converter, express news, labyrinth lite, layar, locale, nytimes. Although I'm struggling to believe they could be responsible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
and I've just read that HTC has already released the update in Scandinavia, today. It is indeed the 2.73 release that we're already running via the MoDaCo ROM.

So, that suggests it will not have any fix for the SMS issue, at least for petrowitsch.

That said, I've yet to hear that I've missed a text since I went to that ROM, so perhaps...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiz:
No missing smses so far with the update... fingers crossed it will stay like this!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olatho:
I have a rooted phone, and I do not seem to have a /data/data/com.android.providers/ folder at all.

I did a wipe when rooting - could it be that this folder is not created automatically, and would that explain the missing SMSes?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olatho:
I do, however, have a "com.android.providers.telephony"-directory (needed the sdk and adb to get to it).

Copied mmssms.db to the SDcard and are analyzing it now.

* The table incoming_msg is empty

* There seems to be some inconsistencies int the db. I can see references to old messages (I did receive a few before the wipe) in the tables "canonical_addresses" and "threads"

So somehow the wipe has not emptied all the tables here. I'll try to flush them and see what happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olatho:
Emptying the sqlite-tables did not seem to help.

Deleted mmssms.db and rebooted. Now I seem to receive messages again!

Thanks for the tip about that file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshtonBRSC:
Deleting this file also seems to have worked for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
Let me guess, there's a permissions problem on the relevant *.db files, this sort of thing is a common cause for many problems on unix based desktop systems, e.g. OS X, Ubuntu.

4 questions for people who have purged their *.db files:

What are the permissions on the relevant files before deletion?

What are the permissions on the relevant files when/if they have been recreated after deletion?

How long does this fix last? Is it temporary or does it last for some time?

Any solution for those of us who have not rooted their phones?

Thx

I found this thread last night and thought I'd better check.

T-Mobile G2 Touch with stock ROM

I have SMS popup installed and last night I installed SMS to Mailbox.

Lo and behold the first text I had this morning caused SMS popup to popup with an old message, the new message was nowhere to be seen. SMS to Mailbox caught it so I know it was received but it's not in the messages feed.

I've now disabled SMS popup to see if that makes a difference but I've yet to receive any more texts which is unusual but not unknown.

I've logged a complaint with T-Mobile.

I'll see what happens and let you know.

Pete
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worcester4x4:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
@mikaelf Thanks. This looks like a good argument for rooting the phone although it's kind of ironic that you would need to 'break' it in order to mend it and have it work as it should.

I am a little confused as to whether or not this issue may be fixed by the new official ROM, I see a post above saying no but could someone clarify? Also, since I am on a T-Mobile version, what is the chance of getting this or further ROM updates? I would like to ask what the T-Mobile ROM update history was for the G1/Dream compared to the HTC branded/ 'official' ROMs to get an idea what to expect but cannot see this already answered in the G1 section of this site and am not clear where I should post to ask. Clearly if T-Mobile don't provide updates then it is worth my rooting now regardless.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuumuun:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteSoxxx:
Damn, I just noticed I am having this issue as well... I was wondering why my friend wasn't responding and when I asked, they showed me their sent messages... this is dumb.

I purchased my Sprint Hero at BB 1 1/2 weeks ago, and last week I swapped it for a new one because there was an issue with my screen.

Originally, I had PRI: 1.68, Mobile Network: CDMA-EvDo rev. 0, no with Google on casing.

Newly swapped PRI: 1.70, Mobile Network: CDMA-EvDo rev. A, with Google stamp on back.

No clue how to solve this problem but I HATE the thought of intermittent reception of text messages.. that kind of defeats the whole idea of text messages / threaded conversations.... please fix HTC!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquiffSquiff:
@ whitesoxxx: well this issue was fixed for me with a firmware upgrade and deletion of the .db file mentioned above. Seems a shame that they released the American version with the same known bug. I would suggest installing sms to mailbox until you can upgrade your firmware. Maybe post in the cdma hero section?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteSoxxx:
ah, didn't even notice this was for the GSM Hero... they should add that to the tree structure :P

Hi,

Has anyone managed to find a way to get the i780 to be able to select text without touching the screen?

I cant hold my shift key and scrub my optical DPAD and select text, and the only way i can select text is by tapping on the screen which is highly infuriating!

What do you guys do?

Yes. Heres the trick.

while in the texting window,

Hi All

My deepest apologies if I didn't find the threads that this topic may have been covered on, but ideally I wanted to know if any ROM updates are available for an iPAQ 5550 (Pocket PC 2003 Version 4.20.1081 - Build 13100) such as Windows Mobile 5 or 6.
