Same HTC response for me too

I have the same problem.

I got the same response of "software problem. We're looking at it".

I managed to get messages to be sent by sending a text to 0780... as oppose to my normal format of +44 780... But I'm pretty sure that was a coincidence. The first time it happened, the message that caused the queued messages to be sent was one to my normal style numbers (i.e. +44 780).

I also reported the voicemail notification bug where an SMS with 2 characters is (sometimes) received if a voicemail is left when the phone has no network signal or phone is off.

Phone is basically so unreliable for text that it is almost useless at the moment. I have asked the retailer for a refund.

Just for completeness, my details:

Phone: Brand New, Unlocked, no tweaks or mods.

Network: Orange UK

ROM: 1.43.405.1

SMS Over: GSM Only (orignally GSM preferred) - both show the problem.

This happened to me again today! very frustrating can't wait for a fix :mad:
[HD2 General] kruegz:
Mine has gone in reverse!

My 2c:

I had the problem when I first got the unit, having to reboot the thing to get messages to send.

Now, it appears to work fairly well... and has not missed a message in almost a week!.

:rolleyes:

*shrugs*
[HD2 General] KuroiOni:
I hope you guys won't mind to share your Firmware version too before posting your problem here :D

Same here.. 1.43 version

Looking forward for a fix..
[HD2 General] pympster:
I've got the same problem on my unbranded 1.43 which I revieved yesterday. I'm on O2 UK
[HD2 General] mox123:
i have an o2 1.43 hd2, from o2 (not sim free)

ive made it

gsm only

2g mode

auto disconnect data connection 60 sec tip 33 (i have changed this to 30 sec)

all my contacts begin without international prefix, so they are 079...077...etc. not +4477...

not had any problems from day one

pympster, try clearing out your entire inbox, sent inbox, etc. everything

then change the number to 077.etc. then do what ive done, see if it works
[HD2 General] nadderf:
how can you say that you made it when you now only have 2G? how fun is that? :p

disable htc messaging app instead.
[HD2 General] pympster:
I tried installing the the .cab file that would remove it got some strange errors! I'll have a go with both and see what I can do. I've also sent a message to HTC suggest everyone does the same to increase the priority!
[HD2 General] pympster:
Ok this is very strange. When I send a text message from a quicklink that has no +44 and shows the number in the "To" field and not a name that message and all in my outbox also send! V.Strange....
[HD2 General] sunking101:
It's happened again!!!! I got my replacement handset today and lo and behold, the wrong people are receiving texts meant for others! I sent my girlfriend a text and an hour later got a text from my ex asking if I'd meant to send her a soppy text! How embarrassing! I cannot trust this phone. SMS either don't arrive or go to the wrong person. This handset is going back now too.

whahahaha hubba hubba hubba

That's so wrong, so wrong dude haha

SMS message problem

hey guys, i had this problem and its frustrating cos its a new set and i could not send any messages. I almost wanted to dispose it but later i called my telco centre and the main issue is caused by the service text centre number. did you guys check on the correct number? give it a try and your issue will be solved instantly.
[HD2 General] sunni07:
there is no sms bug, this phone is the best ppc so far ......
[HD2 General] sunking101:
If this number was wrong, NO texts would get through - it would no longer be a random problem. This isn't the cause of the problem. Those of you who don't experience it yet WILL. Your time will come! My first handset started exhibiting problems after several days and my replacement started doing it after several *hours*.
[HD2 General] B3ler3fonte:
I got informed two days ago and reported back about the huge issue which all of us facing and the issue from status level 5 (minor), switched to status level 1 (high priority/critical). Hotfix update will be available shortly, through HTC's official "Support" webpage with a slight chance of a new ROM instead.

Stay tuned and all will be settled down soon.

Regards,

B3ler3fonte
[HD2 General] Toss3:
Got a message from HTC today saying that they're working on a hotfix for both the sms and in call sound quality problems! :)
[HD2 General] ageorgiou1984:
Someone should take legal action, this is ridiculous.
[HD2 General] Toss3:
Legal actions wouldn't make any difference as the functions do work(albeit not that well).

They are working on a fix so I guess there's nothing we can do about it, but wait.
[HD2 General] mox123:
i called them today and they are working on a fix, also a fix for the pink blob issue as well for the camera !!
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
The fix for the camera is now live on their site

however it says its only for ROM 1.60 and below?! so evidently there are some much higher numbered roms floating around than the 1.43/1.48 we are on. Also, they havent integrated the fix into the 1.60 rom?

hopefully they issue the SMS bug fix just as quickly - as i would consider it far more important than a camera bug
[HD2 General] Pixel:
The Camera update is on the UK site, but for some reason the 1.48 update is still missing from the UK?
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
From my understanding 1.48 is the asian version, 1.43 the english/european one

so while there are a few updates in the 1,48 i dont think it fixes anything and i dont think they are making an english version.

i think that is correct, but i am happy to be updated?
[HD2 General] Archer:
The list covers europe & asia. I've got the english european version on my phone.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
the English European version of 1.48 do you mean?

Where did you get it from? i haven't seen it on an HTC site - the only one i saw was on a different forum and i think it was "made" by someone rather than being an official one - i.e. someone took the 1.48 asian and added english language to it?.
[HD2 General] deep_space:
This is what I found on their site (EU):

http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all

but as it seems there is no English-European version or I'm wrong:confused:
[HD2 General] Archer:
I don't think that's what happened. They have to be official ROMs or they wouldn't install without hardspl. They just haven't been officially released.

I got it from here...

[HD2 General] laraczech:
+1 same problem, same operator and same country
[HD2 General] thengwee:
I’m from Singapore and encountered the same issue several times now. Have an unbranded Leo with a 1.43 ROM. So now ever so often, I have to go into the outbox to see if there are any messages stuck there.

I used WM phones since the time of XDA and this is the first phone that I have encountered such an issue.

This is so frustrating! How could HTC not have tested the device adequately prior to release! Considering the premium I paid to get my hands on this phone! %!#*&#@ :mad:
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
yeah i spoke with my contact at HTC and they were released in Europe officialy yesterday, but still aren't showing up on the UK site yet. i've downloaded but i dont expect it to fix the SMS bug as he said their engineers are still working on a hotfix.

With that in mind i dont think i can be bothered installing then re-tweaking if it doesnt fix my major problem!
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Straight up, that DID happen. I had been texting both, obviously one was receiving non-soppy texts relating to our sons and my new g/f was receiving soppy texts. I think the problem lies with the software, obviously I had two different conversation threads going on and my HD2 mixed them up. I'm not suggesting that my phone randomly picked one other recipient from my contacts list, I was chatting to both in the same period of time. Regardless, this is a very severe bug and one with potentially nasty consequences.

PS I don't like your tone.
[HD2 General] philtrick123:
My wifes Leo has been suffering from the SMS problem since day 1. I upgraded the phone to 1.48, and the problem happened again yesterday.

The SMS messages get stuck in the outbox. I've tried re-entering the SMS centre number, and also sending a message to myself, and also forwarding an existing message to myself. Sometimes one of them triggers the phone to start sending messages again.

This is annoying- and from what I've read we are all waiting for HTC to fix this... When??
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
they just say "soon" and "we're working on it"

what kind of QA they have to let this get through i can only imagine...
[HD2 General] DonDolowy:
Seems like updating the rom from 1.43 to 1.48.403.1 DANISH solved the sms problem for me.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
when did you update? sometimes i can go 2-3 days without having an issue then it crops up several times in one day
[HD2 General] DonDolowy:
Ah okay. I just updated one hour ago. I received the phone yesterday and people didnt receive my messages. After the update everyone gets them.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
hahaha, yeah, update us in a week and tell us if your problem is fixed!
[HD2 General] Archer:
A hard reset (which obviously happens when you flash a ROM) fixes the problem for most people. But it then comes back. It took 2 weeks for me to get the problem initially, and then about 3 days from updating to 1.48.

It's not fixed.
[HD2 General] DonDolowy:
That sucks. Then I still need to carry two phones around. Annyoing!
[HD2 General] pympster:
Ok well now I can't even recieve texts!! This is ridiculous now
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
I´ve got the feeling that this bug could be related to a not-so-good radio - either hardware (read those threads mentioning poor reception when holding the device in your hand?) or software - or even an unholy combination of both. Plus, a buggy HTC messenger application finally produces the bug as it is discussed here. No "error correction" inside, most probably, which is why unsent messages are not sent as soon as the connection is better.

When I compare in my household with several other phones (Omnia, Omnia II, Xperia X1, Prada II, some others...), HD2 has, by far, the most unstable 3G connection of them all. Poor sender/receiver in your handset, poor sender/receiver of your operator, poor software, a really poor combination. I am not an engineer, but I can definitely see that the HD2 is switching from 2G to 3G all the time, while all other devices stay at 3 or even more bars.

I ended up turning off 3G after seeing the strange reception of our 2 HD2´s, and guess what? No problems from the very beginning.

However, I am still wondering why the heck there is such a massive concentration on vodafone and o2 users here. If the same would occur in Germany, the forums would be as hot as hell about this, but in fact, it is astonishingly quiet. People over there complain more about the camera issue. In the sum, I do believe that the radio of HD2 is ****ty, and maybe some mistake or bug within HTC messenger produces that scenario.
[HD2 General] erosennin:
Had the phone for 3 weeks now, never had the sms problem. My 3g is disabled as I live in an area with very bad 3g reception. Even whilst roaming, and I do roam quite a lot like daily, never experienced such a problem.

Having said that, the reception of the HD2 is much much better than the ****ty SEX1. Damn I hated that phone.
[HD2 General] Russinating:
I'm getting the problem often. A quick fix is a soft reset followed by sending a new text (even if to yourself). It seems to flush out the outbox.
[HD2 General] weareborg:
Guys, something to point out which may be of note/benefit..

When using the HTC messaging app I was a little bewildered when I would receive texts from people using the long form number [read; international version] of their mobile phone number, on occasion. Not all the time, but then that would be too easy..

For example, when texting a contact in my address book, where I have full name stored, for example, "Joseph Bloggs", I send a text to Joe Bloggs. I receive a reply from Joe Bloggs (many days later sometimes, with a few soft resets to puncuate my day ;)) but instead of it saying its from "Joseph Bloggs" it says "0035387XXXXXXX". ie the Long Form international version of Joes number... no name.

Now, the next text that comes in is from Joseph Bloggs, ie name there etc.

So, this is inconsistent to begin with, hinting at a software problem in HTC's messaging app as has been outlined numourous times in this thread.

However, since God was a child, and He got his first cell phone, that piece of sh1t $20 Nokia phone could interpret the number and associate it with a name, either in short form (local) or long form (full prefix) in your phone book. A neat software trick, n'est-ce pas?

The Leo seems to have an issue with that. And that frankly is a big frikkin issue!

While the solution for many is to switch off HTC messaging app, I think thats a bit rich after shelling out over 500 euro to have to f#%k around with it JUST to send a text message (but that's another rant for another thread.. and don't even get me started on switching to 2G, thats just about the daftest thing I've ever heard after shelling out over... well..ya get me...).

Anyway just thought I'd mention it.

Bottom line, if HTC think I'm going through all 898 contacts in my address book and updating the numbers I've used without issue for years on a whole host of handsets and platforms, I repeat, WITHOUT ISSUE, well lets just say thats not a solution, is it?

Basement line, if its software and there is a hotfixable solution (which clearly affects a range of handsets across various networks) then there is hope, but HTC have been very slow to respond to this.

Bargain basement line, would people content in their HTC revery or smitten with their new hardware please butt out of a thread that is clearly affecting a large number of users.

We get it; "your phone works beautifully", "Zeus himself could not have crafted a more perfect handset".. get a room, just not this one, and... I hope your honeymoon lasts!

P.S: I flashed to 1.48 and this past week have not had any issues with texts using the HTC Messaging App *so far*.

Of course I have delivery reports on always for peace of mind, so my phone is chiming back at me like its on steroids or needs love, much to the annoyance of my work colleagues (but thats a rant for another forum..).

Sorry folks, been a long day, /endrant.
[HD2 General] sguro:
same problems in italy TIM..
[HD2 General] maati:
Actually, I prefer the standard WM test messaging app.

I don't have issues with WM but I turn HTC Messaging off because I prefer the WM messaging.

I don't see why having to use the WM messaging app until the official fix comes is a reason for complaining so hard.

Other phones have much more serious issues. Take the SE Satio: They have even stopped selling it because of sorftware issues. And this thing is just as expensive and only one example out of many.

Considering the problems that other, as expensive phones have/had, the SMS bug is really not that bad. And it's getting fixed by HTC soon anyway.
[HD2 General] joaquinmora:
I switched to WM messagging app after having issues with HTC´s sending sms and while i have been able to send every message from the WM app i havent been able to receive 2 sms´s out of a dozen that have been sent to me since. At least i was able to check wether my messages were sent or not before, but there is no way to know if someone has sent you a message that you haven´t receive.

This is bad....very very bad.
[HD2 General] weareborg:
Jaysus, in fairness, this is a serious serious issue. If you can't count on a phone to send a bloody text message... what can be done?? Who does one contact? Maddening!!
[HD2 General] InfernokingS:
Same problem here, people sometimes not getting my text messages, sometimes up to 11 hours later! I also had the same problem with a leo rom on my touch hd. Maybe it's a software issue then?

Vodafone + LEO + The Netherlands same problem !
[HD2 General] NSider:
I think disabling HTC Messaging using this hack will fix the slowdown and sending issues (requires .NET framework 3.5).
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
This is ridiculous!!!

i sent maybe 10 text messages yesterday, didnt get any replies

when i got home in the evening i restarted my phone and suddenly got replies because my phone had just sent some of these messages hours late!!!

if they dont fix this FAST i will be forced to return my phone, i cant work with this :(

Oh and im on O2 UK

i have posted ur solution in the sms lag thread too.

thanks again

I am also having this problem, O2 UK. Does anyone have a fix?
[HD2 General] SexedUp:
:mad: Same Problem, O2 Czech Republic, having my delivery reports turned on all the time due to that. Switching between CHAT and STANDARD mode doesn't help.

It seams to me that HTC SMSing didn't correctly provided SMS to Windows and keeps it somewhere... SMSes are not leaving later, but never. I have to reset and then send one SMS that triggers sending of the whole rest kept somewhere... :-(

I would really appreciate solution that will switch of HTC SMSing as this application is piece of crap!

May be it could be useful to share what installations, Reg edits we did if the problem can't come from here, so for me (copy & paste from Tips what I did):

Enabled Hidden Owner Info in Settings\Personal Folder

Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Owner and change Hide from 1 to 0 and then reset. You can now enter your name you want to register old apps.

Get the old Task Manager Back

To be able to really close programs using the X instead of just 'minimizing' the program and leaving it in memory,

install Duttys HTC Task Manager (attached below), restart and the X is back. Also in Settings you can configure its function.

Change Your Quicklinks from 9 to 16 Slots

Amazing tweak. Now have a 4 x 4 grid of quicklinks instead of a 3 x 3 grid. Install cab at bottom of post and reset. Please note you can only use the default black weather wallpaper when using the cab and also contacts photos will not show. If you will only use your quicklinks for apps and don't mind the black wallpaper, go ahead.

Enable LED Notification Setting in Sound and Notifications

If you want your LED to flash when you have a new message, new email, missed call or voicemail.. well you can't as it is greyed out. However the following registry entries can be modified to enable them or use the cab at end of post. Reset after changes.

Disable Auto Screen Lock

If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.

Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

[HD2 General] docchris1980:
Ok,, its not what tweak you have or havent done. mine is doing this on 100% untweaked stock ROM - its just a serious design flaw.

AND.... it gets worse

I found out today its not just failing to SEND messages.. its also failing to receive messages! my mother and i text each other several times a day and have done for several years (arent i a good son...). never have we "lost" a text, and seince we both work we dont bother with delivery reports.

Today i didnt hear from her, so i gave her a call.. and she had sent me texts during the day, which did not, and still have not appeared on my phone!

This phone is borderline useless and dangerously close to being returned. between a volume control which is nonsense, an audio manager app which crashed in less than 60 seconds, and SMS failing to work!

How on EARTH did this get past HTC's QC???
[HD2 General] ijob:

Hi guys...

im having the same problem here on Loop mobile in India.

My HD2 isnt sending msgs to everyone and they reach very late.

Any fixes / workarounds?

Need this fixed asap!

Well, I'm 99% sure that I already had the problem before I installed any program or did any regedit. That can't be the case. On the Dutch tweakers.net someone posted HTC suggested the SIM-card was wrong. My own SIM-card is at least two years old, so for me it could be the problem. Anyone with a brand new SIM-card and still facing the SMS problem? That would of course contradict the HTC suggestion.

Maybe it's a strange coincidence but at the same moment my SMS messages stop sending, the first page of the Weather tab in Sense stops updating, so the My Location page (1/x). At least the time in the right upper corner is way behind (several hours). For the other locations (2/x till x/x) the update-interval seems to be working. Anyone familiar with that?

(I have a Dutch HD2, so I tried to translate the menu-items into English, hopefully i did right)

I haven't installed any programs yet or edited the registry and I have the problem so it can't be that. Funny you should say that about the weather tab not updating, I had this yesterday along with SMS not being sent or received. If this problem doesn't get sorted soon I'm going to have to sell my device, I can't live with it like this.
