Hello, I wanted to share a very interesting problem with my Dash that I experienced and finally defined yesterday.
I have a Dash, on the T-mobile network, on which I installed the Ricky and Stylez Rom about 6 months ago. Since installing the Rom, I would randomly see the phone light up as if it were about to receive a text message, but then never receive one. I never really thought twice about this, though it had never happened with Kavana nor with the Tmobile software. A couple months ago, it came to my attention that I had missed text messages from two people in the same day. Occasional missed texts are normal in my experience, but I found it odd to miss two in the same day. I asked both people to resend the texts and still didn't get either. I then asked one to resend hers and sat there watching my phone. All of a sudden I saw it light up but never show a text. I asked her if she had just resent the text, and she had. All other texts were coming through normally. I then asked the other guy to resend his, and the same exact thing happened - it lit up, but never showed me a new text. I asked them to rewrite the texts in new messages and send those.. still didn't get those so I thought maybe it was something with content. I called both and had them tell me what they were trying to write. The only similarity was that both texts had the word f*ck in them. So I asked them to send me just the word by itself.. and I received those messages. I couldn't figure anything else out, so I ignored the problem for now.
Last couple days, I started getting interested again as I was also trying to deal with some memory issues. I started having people with different phones on different networks send me messages for variations of the word f*ck. In sentences, by itself, capitalized, not capitalized, at the beginning or end of messages, and so on. I even tried sending myself messages. The entire experimental period, the phone would always light up, but never show me the missed messages. I also called T-mobile tech support to see if they could help me, eventually being forwarded all the way to third level support, which is their engineers. All the experimentation along with the help from T-mobile finally narrowed the problem down to me not ever seeing any messages with the word "****" in them, in all lowercase letters. "****in", "****ing", and all combos with "****" lowercase in them would never appear in my inbox. This would happen even if I sent them to myself, though I could send them to others no problem. Any alternate spelling as well as capitalization let me receive the messages. This problem was repeated with ATT, Sprint, Tmobile, and Verizon senders. Tmobile did everything from turning my texting on and off, checking all possible filtering, and sending test messages with the code they have that lets them know if it was delivered or not. They were able to tell me that the messages I was not seing WERE being delivered. So the problem was with my phone. I checked every single menu and nowhere could I find any filtering.
At the same time, I was trying to deal with a memory leak, and stylez had suggested I do a hard reset for that issue, so I thought that maybe I could get at both problems. I did a hard reset yesterday, and both the memory leak and the "****" problem still existed just like before. I then tried reinstalling the Rom from scratch. The problems still existed (both, though this post is focused on the "****" problem).
Finally, last night, I installed the ricky version of Kavana... and I have to say both problems are gone. I now see all my texts, including those with the word "****" in them. I also no longer am having a memory leak. With the other Rom, I text so much that I was having to reboot once every few hours, or with really heavy texting, as often as every 15 minutes. Indeed, after reinstalling Rose last night, I actually had to reboot it within 15 minutes of doing an initial hard reset because of heavy texting.
Just wanted to share my VERY unique problem. Nobody at tech support had ever heard of anything like it and I've certainly never dealt with anything like this. I do have to say that the memory leak DID exist in my case, even after re-installations and resets, with Rose, and now it is gone using Kavana. Anyone can send me a whole message full of "****"s now too and I get them unlike before. I liked Rose more but I just couldn't accept not receiving those messages.
Anyone else have such a crazy problem? I didn't find anything through a search so I figure it is something unique to me.
Thanks for reading! Would love to hear your unique problems or whether anyone has experience this legitimate and real problem I was dealing with.
I'm glad I choose kavanas ROM to keep, or I'd be missing out on some late night texts! Although I do get the phantom text sometimes. Personally I think its just a bug in the OS.
wow, that is bizarre! I use Kavanas ROM so I can not test this myself. Any one else want to try this on their Rose based ROM?
EDIT: I forgot I have NRGz Rose ROM remade by Ricky and Stylez on my other phone and i can confirm that the word "****" can not be received via SMS. Wow, that is really really weird. Good thing I dont use that ROM or I wouldnt get half of my txts.
Very interesting... Good find magic, this may help all the people experiencing the "phantom txt/phone lighting up" issue. I wonder if there are any other words that wont go through.
I thought you had lost your mind... but sure enough, I do not recieve texts that have the work "****" all lowercase. I have tested from several different originators as well.
wierd.
Thanks for the confirmation guys! It's good to know I am not crazy nor did I do something myself to cause this. I reread my post and just wanna clarify that what this post is focused on is the filtering issue. Me and stylez have some disagreement on the memory leak (which I can say does exist on all versions on some level, I just have more problems with some than others) and I don't want that disagreement to eclipse this other problem. So I officially am laying off the memory leak now and would like to focus on the filtering since I was able to pinpoint it and we have confirmation.
I don't know if any other words can create the same filtering to occur.. this was (sadly lol) the only word frequent enough for me to realize it. It'd be nice to get some more confirmations... though it appears this is legitimate. What's the next step? Any ideas from the developers on what's going on?
Glad I could help track this down guys!
Confirmed...... that is really interesting. In addition, I realized that I have not received any MMS messages the past couple days, so I tested it here at the office with about every provider imaginable, and no MMS messages received. I have a co-worker with stock rom and he can receive the message fine that I was not able to receive.
I love the Rose Rom, but unfortunately I have to switch back to Kavana
Will test this tom when got time, find it interesting that the phone will filter, i'm damn sure my gf would have used that word more than once...
What is interesting is you all seem to be T-Mo that i can see your network.
Will post results.
Stylez, I may have found what is causing this behavior; it's just doing what it's supposed to do. In your SMS Pack (SMS Tools) >SMS Filter (SMS Firewall) it has [run] xxx and [run] **** preloaded. I deleted both and will try tomorrow, but I think that that's the problem. Seems like an easy fix, but won't know until I test it. (prematurely pats self on back)
Also, sending MMS has been fine and only took 15 seconds to send with delivery confirmation. Will test receiving tomorrow.
PS, diggin' the rose rom. The thing has run damn near flawlessly for me.

aussiedog nailed it. Open the SMS Pack and then SMS Firewall. The word "****" and "xxx" are preloaded on the firewall. Can not test right now because im late for work and dont want to change my SIM card into my other phone!
Cant believe I didnt think of this, I remember when I first installed the ROM I saw that those words were there

I haven't used MMS since the flash, but after seeing your post I thought that I would give it a try. I had no problems sending, but found out that I also was not receiving any MMS's. I went to T-Mobile's site just to double check the settings and found some discrepancies between the two. Although I had T-Mo MMS settings on the phone, the "Connects to" was set to T-Mo MMS (in the drop down) and not wap. I thought that it shouldn't make a difference, but it did. I made a couple of changes (ie changed to wap, added the ip address, etc.) and tried it again. Voila, I received a MMS in less than a minute. Thanks bupahs for the link.

Note: This is for the Dash (s620) with NRG's Rose ROM 1.7 remade by Ricky and Stylez and I have a full data plan on TMO US. Also, I may have left out a thing or two since I did this without noting the original settings, but if you follow the guide you will be fine. I had known about the other posts, but since all the other T-Mo settings worked fine, I had assumed that the MMS settings were good also.

I also had to do this using Kavanas ROM. The "Connection Setup" wizard only does half the job. I suspect that this has nothing to do with Kavana or NRG, I think it is made by HTC and for what ever reason it does not setup the phone 100% correctly.
I didn't use the wizard, I just manually checked and changed the MMS settings already on the phone and worked fine for me. The other settings for text, internet, etc. already preloaded on the phone's rom were fine to begin with, MMS seemed to be the only problem.

Oh, well then of course you have to setup the phone. Any ROM that isnt an official T-Mo ROM will require the phone to be setup. There are step by step instructions on the T-Mo website that I followed and later tested and they are a-o-k
Not sure what you are saying, does it work for you now? Also, of course you have to set up your phone when you initially load the the rom, I am just stating that the preloaded T-Mo settings in the 1.7 rom are slightly off in regards to MMS. Hope this helps with others that were experiencing not receiving MMS's, but could still send.

I receive messages, the inbox show a number of messages between brackets, but when I open it is empty, it does not show any messages. Anybody got a clue why? :?:
Duplicate issue needs help
I am having the same issue. I have the ATT fuze, however this is my third one. The first one was perfect until there was a party foul that took it away. The second one had a typing issue so I replaced it. This third one is doing the same as the above poster mentioned. My today screen will show that I have text messages waiting to be opened but when I navigate to the folder there is nothing in it. Performed a hard-reset but the same thing happened. Installed third party software and now I can view the messages and reply. I am not happy with this "bandaid" but it will temporarily do till this can be resolved. Please help.
ROM version: 1.95.502.5 WWE
ROM date: 10/20/08
there may be something wrong with your storage card
the storage card can, by any means, have nothing to do with it. i personally never had such a problem, so i can just guess:
sample situation:
- i receive an sms, i see a notification, with the sender and the first few words.
- instead of clicking read, i press the hardware mail button to open messaging and read the sms
- while having it opened, i delete it.
- i go back to home screen and there is still a message and a notification
now i have confused my phone showing me new messages, although i already read and deleted them.
that is the only way i could think of to even get in that situation.
btw. that is the same thing with missed calls. if i have a notification of a missed call and instead of clicking the notification i open the phone manually and look whose call i missed, i will still have the message on home screen, telling me, there was a call i didn't know about, although i already checked.
please make sure that the description above is not the case.
because that is a general bug/user mistake, since the notification service is not fully integrated in pocket outlook, sometimes it gives out older data if you bypassed it to get to your information. that is normal. next time you get a message, try clicking the notification and click read or save as read, and look what consequences that has in your messaging folder.
if then still there is no message to be found, right after you read it once, it is still probably an error in the communication between notification service and pocket outlook, but then it is not your fault anymore you'd probably have to flash another rom then,
OR
it is something completely different and you need to contact your carrier, that receiving sms doesn't work out for you, that either you get a new sim or other network settings need to be changed.
my solution
I made some changes using advance config and changed portrait and landscape mode to cleartype. the fuze does not work with cleartype in landscape mode. Turn that off and it begins to work.
Text Messages not displayed
I know this is a very old thread but did anyone come out with a solution.
I'm still using my Blue Angel and it's come up with this problem.
I think it was after I received an MMS message (the first I received).
I know u guys get these like 5 times a day. Yes i used the search didnt find my answer. I just got a data plan and i set up my internet works fine. But my MMS is the only thing that doesnt work.. i was on the phone with rogers did everything they told me and then they said the only thing they could do is hard reset.. im running kavanas rom.

Just to look at two...
yes ive heard of google and i woulnt have posted here unless i already tryed that. so i figured out i can end mms but cant receive
I wonder what you typed in the search box then.
First, set up the MMS connection:
Select Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
Then select the Advanced Tab -> Select Networks -> New
Enter "Rogers MMS" (or some other name), then head to the Modem Tab and hit New again.
Enter "MMS" (or whatever you want, again), select Cellular Line (GPRS) (not just Cellular Line). Enter "media.com" as the APN.
The User Name is "media", the password is "mda01". Hit Finish.
Now, to set up the messaging app:
Open Messaging (I have it mapped to the default hard key) -> Menu -> Tools -> Options.
Tap on the existing MMS account (if you don't have one, you need to install the MMS app) to edit it, and make sure that the following options are set:
Retrieve messages immediately is checked
Attempts before giving up is 2
Photo resolution is QVGA (320x240).
Head over to the Servers tab and edit the existing entry (if there is one) or create a new one. Enter the following settings:
Server name: Rogers MMS (this one's up to you)
Gateway: 172.25.0.107
Port number: 8080
Server address: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
Connect via: Rogers MMS
Sending size limitation: 250K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0

It don't matter what version of WinMo you are running because what count are the IP number and all. You would use the same codes with a V3.

thanks youve been quite helpful. I did everying it said and i can still only send them and not receive them it says message to be downloaded has expired or the screen will light up and nuthing will heppen.
Try to also check the other settings for say how much you set to download, from who and so fourth.
MMS do expire after a while if the person you sent it to can't view them.
If it lights up and does nothing, it could be that it is trying to send it again, or is trying to receive or sending out again and managed to do so.
well the max size i can make my message size to is 100 not 200 mabe thats got something to do about it. also when i hit send/recaive its just says errror syncronizing.

Every body gets the error when pressing send\recieve as the service is automatic there is no need to ever press that.
same here..
Mine is doing the same thing..Tmobile..reflashed last night to Kavana, manually put in all settings (mms / proxy). Phone sends MMS fine but will not receive them. Phone lights up when receiving MMS but never comes through. I will manually send/receive, and occasionally I see the envelope flash up with the down arrow, but it usually does nothing after that point...
I am also getting an 'Info' alert - Unable to receive your message(s). Your message(s) notification(s) will remain in your Inbox. - Press OK.
Hope I am not hijacking your thread, just sounds like we are having very similar issues.
yeah its seems like were just missing something small
I've had lots of problems with long texts (5 messages long) failing to send. Occasionally they go out OK, but more often I get an error saying that they haven't been sent.
If I split them down into shorter messages (such as those 3 messages long) then they seem much more successful (although these might be very rarely going wrong too, I'm not sure).
Does anyone know what might be going wrong? (By the way, I'm with t-mobile, if that's relevant.)
Also, I've noticed that when a text gets really long (6 messages long) then it becomes an MMS Message, is there anyway to avoid that? Because I get free texts, but I have to pay for MMS Messages.
Cheers
Paul
Can't help you with regards to the mms not sending as I have the same problem with mine on o2.
But to stop texts converting to mms...had a look on the stock messaging system and can't find this option. I use Handcent and if you go into settings there's an "auto-convert to mms" uncheck that and it should be fine.
Same behaviour as OP on mine too. Been struggling with it since day 1 (t-mobile).

Had the same problem when I first got my phone. Here is what I did with my phone:
Go to settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>access point names once you are here, click on the menu button and reset to default. That should sort your problem.

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't fix it for me
yep, same here. I though it was just me. (t-mobile uk)
Just tried sending some epic messages with Handcent and that seems to work! Cheers for the tip Who
Sucks that that interface is so ugly though, think I need to find an alternative...
Anyone have any idea why this would work and the normal one wouldn't?

honestly though this is a very annoying issue, probably the only issue i have with the phone
yesterday was the worst, the text actually refused to send, i tried resending it atleast 100 times.
i dont suppose there is an alternative message centre number?
tmobile uk here too
I am having a problem with text messages. Every outgoing text message is right, but every incoming text message reads an hour earlier than it really is. So if someone sends me a message at 4pm, my phone says it is received at 3pm. It's really annoying, and it messes up then entire list of messages from a person. Is there anything I can do about this? I have the Energy Sense Rom.
Anyone had this problem??
Hey, I run the Cookie Energy ROM and OCCASIONALLY on a new flash the time stamps will be messed up. What fixes it for me, is enter your time settings (click on the clock in the HOME Sense Tab) and pick the time zone, then manually enter the correct time and it typically fixes it inside the Sense Text Client.
However, you can also use something like SMS-Chat, which runs faster and cleaner. But occasionally freezes. I'm not sure how to fix this. But just a suggestion. Cheers
I talked to Rogers techs and they reset my phone settings from their end and still messed up. Then they blamed the fact that it was an unlocked phone. I told them that the last 3 phones I used on their network all unlocked and showed the correct time stamp. I also attached an official answer from HTC.
Who am I supposed to believe?.
HTC answer:
Thank you for contacting HTC about your Touch Pro 2. I understand that your text messages are coming in four hours off. I wish we could be of more assistance, but your carrier stamps the time on those messages. This has happened for years on the Rogers network. There is no setting on your mobile device that controls the time stamp you receive. Some Rogers-branded devices have a hot fix available that accounts for the Alaskan time, but the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 doesn't have a patch available for correcting this issue. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but I'm glad I could offer some insight into this issue.
Still confused?!?!?!
Just to add a little more confusion to the topic. My friend and I both bought Tmoblie phones. He a HTC HD2 and me a HTC touchpro 2. I had them unlocked . We put our Rogers sims in our phones and his text time stamps are right on and mine our 4 hours behind. I now believe its a Rogers cell tower problem. IF anyone out there has seen or has a soluiton it would be greatly appreciated...seeing that i get 50 to 100 textes a day, it gets confusing when the times are off.
Thxs
Its the rom it self, I am on virgin in Canada and with certin roms my txts times are messed but with some there not, try a different rom.
After 3 days of searching the forums I found a fix that works with all HTC phones. I used it on 2 HTC phones, HD2 and Touchpro 2 with great success. All you have to is download the small cab file to your computer copy it over to your phone and extract it. Thats it.....
Thxs to Dangerously for the fix. I added the link to the thread which has the cab in it.

Wrong SMS Timestamp: If you are receiving text messages (SMS) with the wrong timestamp, what may cause them to be in the wrong order, a solution was posted here.
I searched the CM7 thread, but MMS and issue are such vague queries that I was unable to find anything pertaining to my issue.
I can receive MMS fine, but I cannot send at all. I choose the pic I want to send and hit send, and it just disappears. Doesn't show up in the thread of messages. Then when I back out of it, I see the last message I sent that person is (no subject) like it was my pic, but when I go into the thread it is not sent. But it shows up with the pic again like I never sent it. It saves it as a draft. Any time I hit send it does the same thing over and over. I can't even get the pic to delete from drafts. The only way is to delete the whole thread.
I have changed my number in the call settings to show with a +509251xxxx, no dashes or anything. Is there something else I am missing? I have tried several different CM7 builds and all have the same problem.
bump - really? Nothin guys?
Edit: reflashed CM7 and only restored apps+data, no system data and problem was resolved. I assumed since my system data was from a prior CM7 version that it would be no problem, apparently I was wrong. Thank me for all the help
I have the same issue. It doesn't disappear for me, but it just stays there wit the spinning circle thing. It never sends and after a couple of minutes, it says I cannot send the MMS.
Is there a solution without reflashing?
same problem.mine says mms is too large
I have the opposite issue. I've been completely unable to pin down the issue. I can MMS myself pictures and can MMS them to my email, but I cannot receive them. I used to receive them just fine, but now it's an issue.
I've confirmed that I can't receive them from iPhones, BlackBerries, and other Android phones.
I've checked my APN and know it works. I can access Mobile Data.
I've tried third party apps for messaging and that doesn't help.
I've spoofed as an iPhone, BlackBerry, and Custom (Blank) Agent without any results.
I've ensured my phone number in system settings doesn't have any symbols.
Anyone fix this issue?

Uhh, yeah that sucks: I have absolutely no idea, im on GingerVill 1.5 and it works fine, I also flashed sense, regular cm7, miui, and I never had a problem with it..
Try to download handscent or go sms and try that? I doubt that will work but give it a try!

I've got a similar issue -
Using CM7 7.0.3's Mms.apk my phone processes sms no problem, however it will not process mms - send or receive.
Go SMS Pro however will let me SEND picture messages - and Its going through my carrier because in an email to myself it was full of their crap - Sent to you from a Koodo Mobile Customer!
Unfortunately I cannot receive mms; Go SMS implies that it relies on the Mms.apk to forward notifications.
Considering that the Mms.apk isn't syncing with the mmsc properly, I'm assuming the problem lies there. I've even gone so far as to go to one of the phone kiosks and ask to play with their new Nexus S (*drool*) and ripped the apns off of it and uploaded their apn directly to my phone. Still, no dice.
Any suggestions anyone?
I've been having the same problems. Tried lots of things. I was also using Go SMS pro, and thought that was the issue. Tried fooling around with apn, user agent and MMS size etc... Nothing worked except the simple fix:
What I had to do to make it work was to have my mobile network on -- (which I almost always have off from the notification switches). Once it was turned on, it still didn't kick over because I was connected to wifi. So I had to manually disable wifi and then resend the message. It worked fine then.
So:
Turn off wifi
turn on mobile / 3g
resend message
Seems like a simple bug that's keeping the mobile network from kicking on.
