While this is interesting and may provide a fix, it is still not acceptable.

Every phone I have had (and that is a lot, trust me) has been able to send text messages out of the box.

I don't have the time or the inclination, after 8+ years of mobile contacts (that have worked flawlessly on various S60, Winmo, Android etc devices, I repeat FLAWLESSLY) to go putting the international prefix on every number in my address book. It should not be necessary and should be fixed at software level rather than manual user intervention. Its a HTC Fail here on an epic scale across various networks and countries, SIM-Free, branded, etc. The sheer scope of this issue over something so simple as text messaging, on a device that costs more than many budget laptops is embarrassing and I hope that HTC get their finger out and sort this immediately. It is completely unacceptable.

And, with due respect to all the tweakers and hackers who provide invaluable assistance on this forum, its not your bloody job to go hacking the innards of a 550+ euro device to get basic message sending to work!!

A lot of end-users couldn't give a fiddlers fu$k about reg edits and the like.

No one, repeat, no one, should even need to go there to solve this.

Its HTC's problem to fix and it needs to work out of the box, period.

Now, I'm off to tesco to get a 20 euro Nokia so that I can get some work done.

Sincerely,

one seriously pissed off customer.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
all of my number are stored +44

and i have big issues

however - its also failing to receive quite a lot of messages which is even more of a concern - and this is after i have disabled the HTC messaging app!
[HD2 General] TaxiarchisGR:
Hello to everyone, I am in Greece, I don't have Vodafone but Wind... I have Leo about a week and today I faced the sms problem... I sent (or I think I sent) 2 sms but they were not been sent... They had been stored in the Outbox folder... I tried many times the Retry Send button, nothing happend. I deleted from inbox some messages (all the reports) and after a minutes 2 sms had been gone...
[HD2 General] Baccchus:
i've got the same problem as discussed on vodafone uk. from the letter that was attached on the above post (from htc), does anyone else find it worrying that they suggest using a stylus to soft reset?
[HD2 General] Z7vv:
Your spot on about the "style" HTC are just reading off a sheet of paper. :mad:On the vodafone forum, people are stating a new sim card will fix the problem, mine should be with me in the morning.
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
FWIW I'm unaffected (unlocked handset, Vodafone NZ), my are being sent fine with +64 country code prefixes.
[HD2 General] bobbyball:
Is anyone able to send an sms to multiple recipients? If i try to forward an SMS to about 5 people at once it gets stuck in the outbox then wont send any sms until i delete them.
[HD2 General] eface:
My phone, for a whole day long, didn't show the sms problem. This morning, it started again. The only thing i changed, is that i set my alarm(the windows mobile one). After i set it up, the sms outbox issue started again.

So, i removed my alarm settings again, and magically, now my sms issue is gone too. All 3 alarm clocks are set to 6 AM, with only monday selected, all are NOT active. These are the default settings actually.

Maybe some people can try and see if this actually helps for them too?
[HD2 General] Tigi-Gmo:
Seems more a network issue than a phone issue.

Have been using the phone for 1 week now and no problem with sms, every thing works fine ...

[HD2 General] xmoo:
Same issue here.

This also occurted on HD with leo roms.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
HTC have now asked if i would install some logging software on my phone to help then identify the root cause of the problem...

i guess at least they are

1) aware of it

2) working on it
[HD2 General] johnk1973:
I've already posted that my messages are getting stuck in the outbox but more recently I'm not receiving messages until I send one out, with up to 2 or 3 rolling in from different times and people. Can anyone post the link so I can report this to htc (uk).

Just as a side note my sim card is brand new, newer than the phone.

Looks like HTC are working on a hotfix, just got this reply from them:

Dear customer, We are aware of the issue with the sms message and it has been determined that this is not a hardware fault but a software issue and there should be a hotfix to be released soon to resolve it. Please monitor our website for the hotfix release. Best regards, HTC customer support team HTC Corp.
[HD2 General] ijob:
Thankyou for this, my HTC is in their centre for 'repair' because of this issue and the camera issue too. I doubt now both have been determined as software, that my phone will arrive back fixed, hmmm.....
[HD2 General] weareborg:
This is something at least.

Lets hope it gets resolved post haste. It would be no harm if any HTC rep posted here. Its a two way street after all.

[HD2 General] Z7vv:
Hi all,

Well got an update with my new sim card from vodafone, Good news! My sms are working, as they should be all days since putting it in. Mind though, my old sim was working without problem (well since the morning) before changing sims. strange as it is, everything working now.

... and of course my old sim cards has a different gold pated layout then compared to the new one.
[HD2 General] cfu:
my sms has worked since the beginning. i am on 3uk. the only thing I can think of is that all my contacts is currently on my sim because I haven't bothered with activesync yet.
[HD2 General] SAppie:
Same here......

I too have had the SMS issue, have logged a call with HTC UK, and was also asked to run the debug tool and send the logs back to HTC asap - which I have due-ly done....so, we wait and see......., and wait for a fix...... this is a huge show stopper for me and everyone, its the most basic function of any phone. Besides this issue, I too am experiencing the camera issue, as well as some very strange Bluetooth issues, where the handset has frozen and only removing and reinserting the battery recovered it. My is very vanilla, and i've also done all of the suggested quick fixes....to no avail...

So, luckily I have my trusty old HD 1 (with Miri- Rev 13 ROM) at hand.......noticeably slower than the HD2 (obviously), but at least it works.
[HD2 General] Graf Zeppelin:
SMS fix from Swiss forum:

Go into telephone setting and change the SMS delivery path from "GSM Preferred" to "GSM" and soft reset.

This should work as a preliminary fix. Try and post the results; I changed this setting on mine and it (still) works.

BR!
[HD2 General] nadderf:
Can't find that in telephone settings? Have seen it before but can't find it now :P

* Find it ! :D Hope it works, thanks =)
[HD2 General] spazz:
1. Press phone botton to go to phone

2. Menu

3. Options...

4. Menu (again)

5. Select the "SMS-service" tab, it's the last one

6. select "GMS" from the drop-down menu.

Good luck and happy teksting!

The HD2 seems to be trying to send SMS messages through GPRS (internet), which most providers don't support or allow. After a reboot your phone has not (yet) connected to the GPRS or 3G or whichever network you have and the phone will use GSM modus. This is just my theory, but so far it explains everything.
[HD2 General] nadderf:
As I said, I found it :D And you forgot "advanced network" between step 4 and 5 :P

but even after this it won't work =/
[HD2 General] ijob:
Can someone tell me how to locate the 'outbox' where all the messages congregate?
[HD2 General] Norw:
"Messages"

"All messages" (Lower left softbutton)

U have to be in "Traditional modus" (Eh...?) ("Menu" (Lower right softbutton) - "settings" - "Traditional modus)....

Then tap the "header" and u can choose "Outbox"

Pardon my English writing... :-o
[HD2 General] Graf Zeppelin:
Swiss SMS fix with delivery path via "GSM" only does not work.

Checked it this morning.
[HD2 General] jrrigney:
I contacted HTC about this as I was getting the same error (and reproducable by sending a lot of texts in a short space of time), it appears they are aware of the issue and currently I'm running debugging/logging tools on my HD2 (as requested by HTC support) at the moment which will hopefully uncover the fault so a patch can be released promptly.

Unfortunatly as this was a major release of the whole system hardware/OS/GUI (touch flo) there were bound to be teething problems (as a systems developer i should know :P), lets just hope their developers can fix it promptly.
[HD2 General] Thuggie:
sooo glad I found this thread......I got the same problem and I thought I was the only one.

I actually had the same problem on my HTC Touch Diamond also

My girlfriend has been a little mad at me because she thought that I was ignoring her when she sent me messages...
[HD2 General] jrrigney:
lol thuggie my missus thought the same :p.

When HTC get back to me about the issue I will post their response on here.

However if anyone else notices any patterns of usage that will easily reproduce this problem if you post it here I will pass the message on, or contact HTC yourself by going to

http://www.htc.com/uk/about_htc_bymail.aspx

To be honest it'd prob be best to contact them yourselves to put pressure on them releasing a patch sooner.

[HD2 General] bob2k4:
This might be a stab in the dark, but has anyone noticed this problem being associated with Wi-Fi being on? When I go for days with it not on I have no problems, as soon as I turn it on and then back off the problem appears until I reset?

I very rarely use wifi but still have the problem.

Hello

sim free on o2 network .. stock rom.. no tweaks ..I could send ..but not but not receive

Have swapped to GSM and now receiving fine ...but I have not received any older texts onlt 1's sent after the swap

O2....3 days old, no apparent SMS problems yet. I haven't set-up activesynch or WiFi.
[HD2 General] kellystewart:
SMS issues on O2

Had my phone 3 days now...sent fine initially but now isn't playing games at all grrr...had to go back to my omnia for the meantime.

Have to admit it's an awesome phone but this is such a schoolboy error and they risk loosing hundreds of potential HTC converts because of this. They need to get their act together.

Oh one thing I did notice is that it seemed to prefer sending while attached to the comp on activesync....havent had time to try it after the complete break down now.

[HD2 General] ijob:
I don't think HTC have been able to pinpoint the cause of this issue yet like they have done with the camera issue, as of yesterday [Friday] anyway which isn't good news.

After a week of tests on my handset that I sent to HTC repairs. HTC are returning it back to me without them doing anything apart from installing logging software that identifies the sms issue.

Many users have done this which makes me wonder when this patch will arrive!!!!!
[HD2 General] kellystewart:
that is a huge concern i know i certainly dont want a phone that is sitting around doing nothing while HTC twiddle their thumbs about the sms issue jeez man i have been waiting months on this phone (same as everyone else on here im sure) so very frustrated to have to go back to my omnia :(

[Hero CDMA General] mitul2288:
So I did the step by step rooting of my Sprint Hero

I get to the part where I flash the image in the shell and it is almost instant to get back to pound sign prompt

I then reboot recovery and the phone shuts off and powers on again with the HTC splash screen. The screen goes away after 1 second and the phone doesnt do anything. No recovery console at all.

What do I do? I want to install the custom rom but i I also want to backup the phone first.
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
Try this:

Turn the phone off. hold in the volume down button and the power button. When fastboot loads up press the home button and let us know what happens.
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
If it hangs at boot, reflash the recovery. Sometimes it gets corrupted during the download.
[Hero CDMA General] goku14238:
yeah, for some reason, when I try that way to it does nothing.. so i generally use the flashboot/hboot method
[Hero CDMA General] mitul2288:
When I press the home button using this metod, the phone just has the "htc" logo on the screen and hangs there indefinitely.
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
..........

Make sure you're flashing the correct one.
[Hero CDMA General] Ceger:
This happens for me as well and I am using the correct version with the "c" in it. Is the file actually 3.19MB? Also, when using the flash command, is it supposed to provide any feedback or create a file or directory on the SD Card?

Ceger
[Hero CDMA General] mitul2288:
answer for this would help me alot as well
[Hero CDMA General] arashed31:
It doesn't give any feed back that I know of. But there's a program called flashrec (Direct Link [.apk] ) that I use to flash recovery images right off the phone. And you don't even need to have a rooted phone.
[Hero CDMA General] rootbeer001:
this happened to me as well. i had to load up the stock sprint ruu, and then go through the rooting process again. the recovery image gets corrupted somehow during the flashing, and even if you try to reflash the image, the corruption remains on the phone. gotta start from scratch.....

Guys,

Is anyone experiencing problems with the automatic retrieval of email messages.

I have my HD2 set up the same as my Touch HD but unlike the Touch HD the HD2 does not forward emails unless I first hit Send/Receive.

Can't for the heck of it figure out what I'm doing wrong!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hyellow:
what kind of email provider are you using? i'm using hotmail, wich doesn't even has a pop or imap feature, but in email inbox, go to (right soft key) menu>extra>options and tap on your email provider in the list and go to sync schedule and set the sync frequency to: as items arrive. At least, this option I use for hotmail. It is a windows live feature btw.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zsilak:
I use seven from www.seven.com for my work email and my gmail account. works fine...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Guys, It's not the provider that is the problem..... That's why I mentioned both my Touch HD (which works perfectly) & my HD2 both share the same settings.

As to the settings you mention hyellow; I'm happy in how to set up sync schedule and frequency (again, I don't have any problems with the Touch HD).

It's frustrating, especially seeing as I don't consider myself a novice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Sorted..... and it was down to something stupid I had missed.

I had the box ticked under "This netwok connects to a Proxy server".

Once I had unticked it I now receive my email messages automatically without any intervention.

A small item easily missed.

This was a 'biggy' for me.

I needed auto email retrieval set to the 5minute minimum so that if fellow surgeons needed to send me patient details I was warned in advance.

Thanks again to hyellow & zsilak who gave their time in helping.:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beards:
I don't know of any software that will allow you to turn off email notification on a set period of time.

Why not just set your phone to 'Plane' mode. That's what I do if I'm not on call and don't want to be disturbed by email..... Other than that just turn off the volume.

[Touch CDMA General] vilord:
posted a new rootfs over at http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android

If you have a system partition AND a swap partition, but no data partition, it'll blow up.

to use it normally, just drop it in and go.

If you want to do partitions, bring up partition magic(windoze), or gparted(linux) with the card inserted but not mounted.

Resize or delete the first/primary partition, then create partitions as follows:

p1: most of the disk, fat32

p2: about 256MB should be plenty, ext2 for system

p3: about 256MB should be plenty, ext2 for data (optional)

p4: whatever you want, ext2 for swap (optional and not recommended)

then reformat p1 and add all your stuff to it. you don't have to bother formatting the other partitions as the built-in installer will do that for you.

boot up and when prompted push volume down to initiate the installer, then follow the on-screen prompts.

quick history:

11/14: lots of progress with data, but disconnecting failed

11/15: fixed disconnects in data and made it work with a partitioned card (but broke it for a non-partitioned card)

11/16: fixed non-partitioned cards and made it work if you only have a system partition.

I'm having slow home screen refreshes using this rootfs with donut on Vogue... if I visit a few sites and then go back to home (long cam press) the screen takes some time to come up. This is new behavior with this rootfs... can somebody confirm this or is it just me?
[Touch CDMA General] vilord:
updated with the partitioning support and a refactored installer based on mssmison's work.

now if you have three partitions, mmcblk0p1, p2, and p3, where p1 is your regular vfat/fat32, p2 is system, and p3 is data, it will use the partitions. To install a system to those partitions, press volume down when prompted, and it'll guide you through the options for installing your system and data to the partitions.

memfree values were updated slightly to improve performance, but at the expense that it will kill off a couple more background processes (like home screen) when things are eating up lots of memory... try it without compcache and see what you think... the numbers can be adjusted again if it sucks to much.
[Touch CDMA General] sshark:
Interesting and thanks.

Could you pl tell what should be partition type for data partition? FAT32 or Ext2?
[Touch CDMA General] vilord:
For now, data and system partitions should be ext2, although the filesystem will be created when running the installer, you just need to create the partitions.

Coming eventually will be either nilfs2 or some other log-centric filesystem that doesn't freak out when you pull the plug.

For the partitions, I would suggest about 256MB for each of system and data, although if you're tight on space, 128 should be enough for now for each.
