WM6 annoying SMS issue - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else noticed the annoying SMS issue in most of these WM6 Roms? I have used so many, on two different 8525s and a few different radios (curently using 1.43?) and I keep getting this issue on a daily basis. Well, I am a heavy texter, 4000+ a month.
This is how it will start, on a 3G or Edge network, it doesnt matter. I will send a text, it will pretend like it sent. I then usually turn my PDA off but notice it will turn it self on and stay on for a bit of then I will turn it back off. Like 5 minutes or so later, I will loose signal for a few seconds and get the message "Your text message could not be sent" Upon that, I regain signal and everytime I get a new text message immediately after, like they were waiting for me.
What is causing this? Its driving me nuts!
Thank you!!!

have you tried using the 1.40 radio for a while and seeing if the problem still exists with it?

I tried 1.40 but the 3g signal wasnt as good. Im currently testing 1.47 Ill let you know how it goes. Has anyone else seen this problem before?

Make sure messaging is EXCLUDED from your task manager. If you close messaging before the message has been sent, this happens.
And yes, I do see that you talk about suspending, not closing, but perhaps you didn;t mention closing first.
Have you tried the plam threaded messaging app? So many benefits that my typical ROm upgrade process is ROM, extended rom unlock, then threaded SMS before I do anything else.

Unread Voicemail Notification

Ok I been on the rom Im on for a good long while, and I had pretty much all the bugs worked out. Then I switched to T-Mo and everything seemed ok till somebody calleed me and I decided I didnt want to talk to them. They left a voicemail and I called and pressed 7 on it and it deleted just fine, but my phone is still sayin I got a voicemail. Anybody know how to fix, and does anybody know what T-Mo charges for the visual voicemail service?
Hey,
I the have the same issue. The light flashes to indicate a v/m. I listen to the message and delete or save it but the light continues to blink indefinately.
In the end I decided to deactivate the visual alert for voicemails. I figured if someone leaves a message the likelyhood is that I have a missed call as well so the visual alert for that would grab my attention.
Good luck, I'm interested to know if there is a fix out there...
Btw I have an unbranded TP2 and the issue occured whilst I was on both the Orange UK and T-Mobile Network so I'm guessing it's a phone problem not network.
I've heard of people having phantom sms count issues but never voicemail.... I don't know if this will help but in the past I know people have used this file (attached)
just unpack it to your phone or storage card... run the .exe and a program will run telling you its clearing your count numbers etc then close. Reset the phone and HOPEFULLY it will fix your problem.
The problem is with the network and the settings. At least that's what I have experienced in Canada. When you bring an unlocked phone on to a network sometimes there are some little issues with network services. I would call an get the notification icon disabled through your provider. It's something they can control and it might solve the problem, but create another. like Eclipsed24 said .. it makes it not come up at all, but I'm sure if you miss a call ... you'll check your voicemail
Cheers,

Text issues, fed up, its the phone, not the network!

Just been speaking to a guy from work who in the same situation as me, hes on orange, im on t-mobile, and basically, about 1 in every 10 messages sent, doesnt send, or some send twice etc...
Iv just installed a new rom and rooted, and if anything my issues are getting worse.
As i text a lot, this is rather annoying and i now it not just me!
So question is , is it a software issue or hardware?
and can it be fixed, or helped?
many of my messages are only sent half since i have my desire.....
I get the same. I kinda thought it was because I flashed with a stock ROM instead of the Orange one but when HTC sent back from repair with the Orange ROM it did the same bloody thing!
It only happens when I text Vodafone or O2. Orange, Virgin, 3 etc. are fine.
To be honest I think it's a network issue. Either that or your phone is in a weak 3g area, and as you are sending the text, it is changing from hsdpa, to 3g etc. That might cause it to double send, or fail.
Try setting it to 2g only and test it.

Yeah he's rite its prob ur signal, i get it when im on one bar hsdpa rather than, 4 bar gprs lol also data affects txt msgs, it sometimes happens when my fone is sending or receving data
if its signal why does it happen on my tmobile phone, and my friends orange phone???
I turn 3g off most of the time, makes no difference , still messes up.
Both networks share the same masts don't they? If you are both in the same office and connected to the same mast that would explain it. Also this thread only has people complaining from tmob, and orange. I'd say that is a pointer. I'm on O2 and have never had this problem. I also don't remember seeing any other threads on the same issue.
I'm by no means saying this isn't an issue for you, but I'd be looking more at the network than the handset. Have you rang Tmob and asked them what might be up?
For me, this issue is related to spesific contacts. When I text some of my contacts, I always get an error message. I have reentered their number in phonebook, but it does not help.
This is rather annoying, as one of the contacts is my wife...

Not a network issue. It also happens on Vodafone. I don't have so many messagee broken as you to but one out of eight is not sent. I think it desires problem.

Yep same on my unlocked unbranded desire on 3 uk getting pissed off with it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Im on orange generic non-branded phone with bog standard Sence ROM, I noticed I get this and as I have notice will all phones it only tends to happen if im sending a text at the same time I receive it, Of course actually getting it to resend is a bugger! and normally requires a battery pull, Im used to it these days but
Has anyone who is having problems tried a different messaging application, e.g Handcent?
Regards,
Dave
I've posted all of this before and there are loads of threads on this topic already
If you uninstall chomp/handcent (or any third party messaging app - even the HTC sense one) and use 'messages' instead this problem goes away.
Like you, I would get send failed/multiple messages received quite often, but since using the default app i've now sent 1, 127 messages without 1 problem I used to get this all of the time and this is what has cured it for me
1) uninstall any messaging software you have downloaded from the market
2) download sms unread count and sms popup from the market
3) put the sms unread count widget on the homescreen
4) configure sms popup to your liking
5) send messages to your heart's content
This uses the default 'messages' app rather than anything else and works perfectly
For me this happened continually, regardless of if the phone had just been hard reset and only had the stock message app.
In my case it was an issue with a local mast and the switching between WCDMA and GSM signal.
The issue went, as some other people have said, when I switched the phone to GSM only - keep in mind just turning Mobile data OFF isn't the same thing, you must go into settings and select 'GSM only'.
Give it a try and see if the issue remains.
There does seem to be several causes for the same issue so what works for me / someone else may not work for everyone

This was part of my problem too as my signal at home constantly moves between 3G and E, however, the method I posted above has fixed this too

Same issue for me one contact can sms me but every time i try to reply it fails other contacts seem to work just fine.
Sorry but how do you uninstall the sense messaging app?
This is defiantly a problem with the desire not network. I've never had this problem before with any of my phones. but since got the desire it happens a lot. it seems to be when I try to send multiple texts very quickly. plz stop blaming the network it didn't happen when I had an iPhone so how do you explain that.
I also have an issue sending multiple sms. My Desire is on Vodafone, unrooted.
Whether I use the default messaging app or Chompsms, if I try to send a message to multiple people it immediately fails to most of the recipients.
The phone will give me repeated warnings (vibration/failed msg reports) again and again, until it has managed to send the sms to all recipients. It will generally complete the request eventually, but in the process it's thrashing my battery down as I have to keep checking if the new notification is a warning or in fact an sms that I have received from someone else.
This behaviour is absolutely AWFUL, and although I used to forward on jokes that I received to a list of about 20 people several times a day, I just cannot do it any more. The same action using the same sim in my old Dream completes fine without a hiccup.
how do you uninstall the htc sense messaging app?
do you just mount /system and remove the Mms.apk from the App folder?
will this still mean that the default messaging app is not removed?

Text messaging not sending. Please Help!!

Do you guys have issues when sending txt messages? My phone almost everyday when I try to send a txt message i'll wont finish sending, it keeps saying "sending" and it wont deliver. I have to delete the message and restart my phone....
This is really annoying....
Is there a fix for this?
Are you doing level 2 ram clears to end applications? If so this has been known to play hell with SMS/MMS.
if you DID do a level 2 ram clear... just reboot your phone and try again
What's a "level 2" ram clear?
BTW, I'm in NYC area, and Sprint has been having major issues here over the past week or 2. Almost everyone I know on Sprint is experiencing dropped calls, failed messages and other connection problems. Supposedly a known issue.

I did have this problem on the stock Epic. Do not ask me why but if I turned the Data Network Mode off it would send all messages. I would then turn it back on and have no problems for a few days and then it would pick up again. It was almost like the phone just needed a change of routine. This hasn't happened recently, but was very annoying.

Stock SMS app?
Do you experience this issue using the stock SMS app or a different one?
If using stock app, have you tried a different one like ChompSMS or Handcent?
Yes, I do level 2 ram clear very often actually, so this might be the problem ahn?
I use the stock one, I've tried and handcent once and had the same issue with it....
Thanks for the feedback guys....
Don't clear the Ram (on any level) unless your phone stops working properly.
The Android OS manages memory better on it's own than you will ever be able to and it won't lead to issues like messages not sending.

[HELP] New texts randomly get deleted!

So I seem to have this HUGE problem. I've noticed this first about 2 months ago. The problem is that my notification light will blink, the phone will vibrate, and a notification for a new text will play. But I go to check my texts, and nope! Nothing! So, I thought it was just whatever. But people actually were texting me and my Evo decided to just delete it for whatever reason. Now this doesn't happen for every new text, I get about 150 a day, and it will do it for around 5 new texts. It gets annoying cuz then I have to text my friends to ask if they just texted me or not since I never got it cuz my phone deleted it. Not to mention I'm trying to patch things up with someone and it doesn't help if they text me and I never reply because I never "got" it.
I can replicate this issue when I play a memory intensive game. I know I'm getting texts because I've tried sending a text from another phone, and it would light up or whatever, but I would NEVER see that text. Plants vs. Zombies can replicate it. So I've considered it to be a memory issue. Maybe my MMS receiver closes as it needs more RAM. So I've been trying to figure out how to lock everything MMS related to memory but with no luck. And yes, I've tried to use MMS apps like Handcent, GO SMS Pro etc. No luck there either. And I've tried to use AMM to bring up the priority of my MMS service, also with no luck as it just resets to hidden app.
I've had this issue on quite a few ROM's. Synergy (Nightlies, RC1, RC2-Currently Running), MikG since the beta days, the Gingerbread leak, Kingdom REVOlution. Even on Froyo! I'm getting desperate to try CM7, I really love Sense but if this issue persists, I might just try CM7, but I wanted to know, has anyone else ever had this problem? Am I just screwed!? I'm afraid to get a replacement because of no root. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I would recommend signing up for Google Voice it backs up all your texts online and because your on Sprint you dont have to change your number Another Pro is that when switching roms it will download your texts for you when you install the App from Market. I am pretty sure this will fix it because your texts will get routed through Google Voice
google.com/voice
go sms pro
To avoid this problem i would advice switching to go sms pro its faster and lighter than the htc stock sms app. ever since I switched i had no probs.

Missing random text messages and Calls - ROM or Hardware?

Hey fellow XDAer's,
I am constantly missing text messages from friends and every once in a while, I see that I get a voicemail with no missed call on the phone. I am wondering is it is the ROM I am running or just the phone.
Has anyone experienced this before? If so, how did you fix it?
I was thinking about dropping my ROM back down to a stock ROM (rooted) and see if that helps. Does anyone have any good suggestions on a bone stock rooted rom to test?
Thanks!
Hey,
I have had this issue before and honestly it was neither, it was just the sprint service, I had bars but I was missing text calls etc and I called the sprint store to have them tell me it was just an outage. So most likely that is what is causing it.
Now to counter this I use google voice so either I normally get my calls and text through one or the other or both if data and 1x is working properly!
I wish you the best of luck and hope you figure it out!
If I helped please hit that thanks button!
I was missing random text messages until I started using Ghostly SMS. Since I started using that a couple of months ago it has recovered over 100 text messages.
which rom are you on?
roms like energy are notorious for not getting sms through. i have had mannnyy people think im ignoring them because texts arent coming through i will usually switch to voice intergration and solves it cuz everything is going through voice.
and/or see if there are certain radios that work better for the rom you are on. sometimes that will help too
