Hello,
I've suspected for a while(and confirmed with friends) that relatively often, my sms don't get to them. It's shown as sent in my phone and in the sms threads, but they simply don't recieve them.
So I tested it out with another phone, sending 5 sms' to the other phone and it only recieved the first one. the other 4 never got there... Now could this be some sort of anti spam causing it? - I did send them in rapid succession. However when I send messages from the OTHER phone to me, regardless of how quick, I get them all. And we're on the same network/provider so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
During regular use, even SMS' sent with lots of time inbetween gets lost occassionally.
I've never had this problems with my old phone so does anyone else have a clue why this is happening? As you can imagine, it's frustrating thinking someone has gotten a message but it never reached there.
Thank you.

Hey thanks for the reply, I saw that but doubt that's the same problem.. I usually list most of my numbers with +, and it shows the message is "sent". If it was the same problem as the link above, I guess it would b epossible to reproduce it everytime but mine is seemingly more random.
The specific number I tested it on was a number WITHOUT the +areacode, and even that produced 1/5 messages recieved by the other party.
Any other ideas?
I had that problem before with my touchPro. All I did was hard reset the phone, active sync my contacts and I sent out text messages. Everything worked fine after that.

Also checked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4016381&postcount=31 ? see if the number is still correct in windows mobile?
Also try to sent from the windows interface a couple of times (in the textmessage touchflo tab touch the new sms icon in the above right corner.) see if it does better then.

God you know what, you're right. Thanks. I did look through the WM sent folder before but not far down enough..
It does seem to drop the + after the first SMS then not reapply the + until I get a reply.
Annoyingly my phone still tells me "Message Sent" instead of invalid number though, so there's no way to tell if it sent the message without going to check the sent folder I assume?
Doesn't seem like there's a fix or even a confirmed cause for this yet?
I'm having a strange reversed problem: all SMS I send are regularly delivered, but I "miss" many incoming ones. the strage thing is that it happens (AFAIK) only with my girlfriend's ones!! nobody else still complained about me not anwering, so that should mean I received and answered all other mesages.
Please note that we have the same mobile operator (Vodafone Italy)
today she tried her SIM with her bro's phone, and guess what, the problem is still here BUT the difference is in lost messages: 4 out of five lost with her Moto v9, 2 out of 6 lost with her bro's nokia. that sounds really weird to me.
where do you think the problem might be? mine/her SIM, or phone?
I'll call Vodafone Italy later, but their assistance and support is really awful, they do not even know what they are talking about, and reply with the same pre-confectioned anwers every time.

My Problem is, that I recieve only some of my SMS/text that was sent to my. So I heard from friends that they sent me a text message, but I didn't get it. There is no pattern on this problem. I have a conversation with 4 sms sent to me, but i only recieve 1,2,4. Message Nr. 3 is missing. Sometimes its also the first message thats lost.
All my friend got the status for sms/text activated and they get the status "delivered" for the lost messages.
Someone else that problem?
I only have seen the problem about sending, but none with getting.
yeah the same happened to me recently, but only with my GF number (same operator), not other contacts (AFAIK: since no one complained, no sms got missed!). still no diagnosis, and no solution obviously. hope that won't lead to a hard reset, which is a major pain
I had an issue that my sim card was full - it seemed the phone was trying to save sms to the sim. I deleted a few and now all seems okay. However they can't be going to the sim any more as I have received more than I deleted.
This happened after I had been using a spare phone as I went camping and needed a phone that had a few days battery life instead of the day or so that my touch pro 2 has
thanks for your help smudge.
it's not my case since my sim card is blank, no sms or contacts in it.
however, yesterday evening I hard resetted the phone, now I'm waiting to test if the problem is still here. If it is, it must be the operator's fault, or something related to my GF device / SIM. I'll let you know if I discover something new...
I have similar problem - I'm supposed to receive SMS, but I don't. I didnt have this problem (I didnt notice it) before I installed latest version of S2U2, maybe there's some problem with it? I have S2U2 set to show incoming SMS/MMS messages...
Also I have enabled hack mentioned in this forum which powers on mobile on receiving message (so it is displayed on the screen, not only notified by blinking LED and sound as is default setting). Maybe there is some incompatibility with S2U2, Im trying to pipoint this.
ChAr
uhm...missing sms should be the operator's problem,
i've been having such issue not only with TP2.....not all the time but usually consecutive sms with only one person usually caused it
i have the same problem, tried hard resets rom flash but no success!
i am from austria!..
please somone fix that thing
after HR yesterday evening no more missed sms until now, no one I had notice of. but that doesn't make me feel safe, it needs to be checked further.
surely gunggu is true!
sorry, probably ot, but i have the opposite problem.
I have too much sms in the incoming folder: I can see my sent sms. That means an sms like (me: hi bla bla..)
the received notification is disabled. any hint?
so after some tests, I figured out my problem.
It was the programm proxy cab, that I used. If it is installed, I got only every second sms, after it is deinstalled I got every sms...
Strange problem.
Hey there people all much smarter than me. I just bout a HTC touch pro 2 (i know 2009 called and wants their phone back) anyway i am having this problem of some sms messages not getting through. i have not been able to see a pattern due to not finding out about missing messages till sometimes weeks after i missed getting them
if anyone found a solution thats not alreay mentioned in this thread (cant find an option to save stuff to the sim)(cant find mention anywhere of "program proxy cab"
any help would be great otherwise i will have to go back to using my HTC tytn 2
i must say this is very annoying , not the message but the situation itself , why the message cannot be sent why? there is reception and all ..

I've noticed on my phone that if I happen to be sending a message at the same time I'm receiving one, my outgoing message usually fails. I'm not sure why this is though.
i agree , i think there is a bug hidden in this issue..
i have many good things to say on my deviice but there has to be a good reson or solution for this , to bad HTC are not recieving our complains and check this
I had always assumed it was a carrier issue. Disconnecting and reconnecting the radio always has fixed the issue for me.
may i asked how u do that ?
my solution is softreset...
is that happen with the TF messeging ?
or the Win messeging ?
casue it happened with me in the TF thread mode
and i stoped sending from that interface till a solution come up
now i send from our old good Win messege with no problem what so even
itdid happen with in the touch flow mode ,
i will try the old known and good wm mode in order to send message , and i will keep you updated.
For me it has something to do with the numbers saved in the phone. I got them all in +49 (0xxx) 1234567 format. When calling someone the phone automatically ereases the 0 and dials +49xxx1234567 - when sending messages the 0 remains in the number and I get the error. I can erease the 0 by hand and then the message is send. After that i can reply to that person using winmo messaging without ereasing the 0...
Partial solution perhaps

Hi Marc.
Don´t know if it´s the same problem but there´s an official fix that sound´s about right here:
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=0&dl_id=625
For some obscure reason the explaining text is in french on that site, whereas everything else is in english.
Be advised however that this fix is dated july 30. 09.
There´s a ROM-upgrade dated August 8. 09. Now i can´t be absolutely sure but if I was employed in HTC maintanance, i´d include old patches in the ROM-upgrade. Your post states your ROM version to be 1.14.111.2 and the new German version is 1.19.407.1 so you might be able to solve the issue with a ROM upgrade.
I haven´t upgraded my self. Even though there´s a Danish one provided as well. I´m waiting for the stock WinMo6,5 rom. Installing bought software, contacts, backup and everything feels like too much trouble when we´re going to have to do the whole shebang all over again in a fortnight or so.
In any case the German rom can be found here:

Thanks Elo, just tried it. Seems to work only on Unbranded TP2. Mine is a T-mobile Vario V, I get an error "Incorrect Device".
I will wait for WiMo6.5 as well, I guess it will be included there. And T-mobile will provide a free update for their MDAs.
what's worse - while that error message is sat in the background, until i click it i cant receive any incoming messages (actually looks like i loose them). it cost me a fortune using it abroad, this bug! what's even worse - the tp2 rom provided by mpd is an older version to what this patch fixes, hence incorrect device. waiting for htc reply

Is there some sort of app or registry setting that I could change that'd ask if I wanted to resend the message? Having to retype in messages is rather annoying.
According to this post Windows Mobile 6.1 added this feature but I don't see it and I'm running 6.5. Maybe the HTC TouchFlo 3D interface removed it?

It doesn't retain a copy of the message in your drafts folder, or outbox...? Whenever I get that message I can just pull it up from there and hit send again
Whenever I get this message, after trying to resend it a few times, I realize I tried sending a text to an email address.
Make sure the number has an area code as part of the number.
Just another possible solution.
Is it for all text messages? If its a specific number sometimes the persons number is disconnected

this is the correct answer...if you have a good signal and you get that error msg, then that person has not paid their billy bill...
This problem comes up quite often if you've flashed a different radio onto your device. If you have flashed a custom radio, try out another or stock. If that's not the case, you might be in a poor coverage area. Both are common culprits, but may not apply for you.
SMS doest go to outbox folder
I have the same problem
When I have no service coverage I would like to type sms messages and as soon as I get it make phone send them all out. But unfortunately, when I don't have service HTC touch pro 2 keeps trying to send sms out and after a couple of attempts gives me message that it was not able to send it. I have to click on each message and resend it when I have service. Instead, I want my phone to put all sms into outbox sms folder and send them all when I actually have service.
I know other phones perform this function well. I went thru all settings but couldn't get it to put sms into outbox when no service available.
Does anyone have fix for that?
Also having a similar problem
Hi all,
Same, or similar thing with me. I'm on Vodafone in the UK, and I've got a friend who is on '3' in the UK. If I text him with a new fresh message, and hit send, it goes to him no problems. If he replies and I attempt to reply back - then I get "Your message could not be sent. Try again?" underlined in red. Tapping on this just generates the same problem again and again.
I've tried his number with/without spaces in it, ensured his contact name has no non-alpha characters in it, tried his number in +447xxx format as well as 07xxxx - all to no avail.
It does not happen with any other contact in my phonebook and I end up having to let the message fail, then forwarding my reply to him, so it leaves my device as a new message.
Now, as it's the UK, its nothing to do with him having not paid his bill (we don't get charged to receive SMS in the UK), and I've got great signal (I work for a Vodafone associated company and we've got a cell on-site, so it's full signal of HSUPA for me).
I am completely at a loss to understand why this happens - I have other friends on '3' that SMS's go to fine, so I'm guessing it's not a Vodafone to '3' issue either.
Any ideas anyone?!

PS: Stock ROM running WM6.5, unlocked GSM, nothing odd about the configuration/software either!

Anyone?
Thx,

change your network setting for automatic to manual. and enable call waiting now your problem is solved. i was suffering from the same problem but now solved
Does anybody know why I can't send a text to one person? I can recieve texts from her, I can call her, she can call me, she recieves texts from EVERYONE else, and I can send texts to EVERYONE else.
She's my girlfriend aswell which makes things just that little bit more annoying
Anyone had any similar problems?
Cheers!
why can't you send texts to her? error message? is her number listed as mobile?
No error message at all. My phone actually just goes along as normal as if it's sent. The text is even in my Sent Messages box.
And yeah, her phone number hasn't changed.
I text her, and she recieved it, on Thursday morning.
Then around lunchtime...they just stopped working. Not sure what happened!
maybe send a text to her and somebody else at the same time and see what happens
- check if she's not twice in your contacts lists. (on SIM card maybe?)
- check the format of the number +<country code> or just 0xxxx
- delete her from contact list try to call and see if it will show enything while calling, maybe you have similar number e.g. last 7 digits (not quite possible) but maybe some error number or so, if it will show something delete that as well
- after deleting contact, send a message, by typing a number
- try to send from different mobile - maybe it's a network error
- try to send new message not reply / or try reply, not new.
- try to delete messages history
- try to change girlfriend - sometimes, i couldn't send my girlfriend messages, but problem was in her
- reflash phone
come back with results
Haha, I will try those Except for the second-to-last one!
aah, if you have threaded messages, i'll guess it will help if you just write a new message to number - menu - new - text - and type her number
try it as first

Call your carrier and ask what is going on... and have her do the same. It's possibly it's not even your phone.

if you tried from different phone WITH your SIM in it and it worked,
then it wouldn't be carrier problem, I suppose you need to delete messaging DB. search for a tool to do so, or a backup app, or hard reset the whole phone and make backup of empty messaging in case it will happen again.
maybe she's not that in to you?
Yeah, a joke about that has already been made...nice one.
Anyways, we talk on the phone every day, and she texts me, but I've just gotta PM her on Facebook as my reply so...

Haha, girlfriend upgrades are so much more difficult than flashing roms.....at least with the phone there is no talking back....and you can always just take out the battery if it starts giving you lip!
I read through the post rather quickly so if I missed something I'm sorry, but are you sure the problem isnt on her end? Has she contacted her provider and had them check her line out? I know the provider can do something where they reset something on their end and it flushes the system out. Also did you try the above suggested and at the same time send the same message to her and someone else? Also have you tried sending an MMS to her? If I were you I would trouble shoot this while you both were sitting next to each other. This is a weird one indeed...
So..... solved or what
it's like watching a soap opera.
wth happened? figure it out?
I don't think it's a problem with your phone, I'm pretty sure this is a network / SIM problem, because my family has experienced EXACTLY the same thing. My sister's SIM card will not receive texts from my mother's SIM card no matter what, and they have regular old "dumb" phones. Even with both of them using different phones it doesn't work.
In the end we just bought a new SIM card because of the obvious annoyance it caused, although I can imagine it is much worse for you not being able to text your girlfriend! The only way I can think of fixing it is, as suggested, contact your network. We didn't try this but maybe they can do something! If not you should easily be able to transfer your number to a new SIM
I don't know what device she has, if she has a TP2 you both can try this:
(at least on WM 6.5) go to:
Start -> Phone (should open the dialer) -> Menu -> Options -> Menu -> Advanced Network -> SMS Servcice tab
Try switching between SMS over GSM or SMS over GPRS

I've noticed an issue on my Galaxy Nexus (Stock Rooted 4.0.4, VZW) where randomly a text message will disappear.
I don't have any idea what is causing it and its so sporadic, it happens maybe once every 1,000 texts.
The only way I know I'm even missing a text is if I see it appear in the notification bar but not be there when I go into the messaging app (Using stock messaging) or, because I have mightytext installed, I'll see the message forwarded to my browser but I'll notice its gone from my phone.
I was able to pull a logcat after it happened most recently, so if someone thinks they would be able to decipher some information from it, let me know.
I'm posting because I'm wondering if I'm the only one seeing this issue or if others are in the same boat.
Thanks in advance and let me know if anyone would like some more info...I've been trying to nail this thing down for months now.
You're welcome to put it up on pastebin or something and post it, but I would first eliminate MightyText as the first possible problem. Uninstall it and see if it still happens.
I had the same problem when still on 4.0.2 stock, unrooted. Only ever used the stock messaging app. It happened very sporadic, with the same symptoms you described.
Messages popped up in notification bar but could be nowhere to be found in messages app.
Since upgrading to 4.0.4 it never happened again, or at least I didn't notice.
As you are on 4.0.4 already, that's probably not comforting.

Yeah, it happens so infrequently that I'm not surprised you haven't noticed it since updating, but nice to know someone else has the same issue.
Do you have mighytext installed or can we rule that out as a culprit?
Do you have any SMS Backup applications installed?
If not, I recommend the "SMS Backup +" by Jan Berkel.
Works amazing on my ICS.
Does backups of SMS, MMS and Call Logs (if you want.)
Yes, I do have that installed, but thats not really relevant to the issue I described here.
Thanks.

Sorry - I realized I never finished my train of thought. Got "distracted" as someone walked into my office.
To continue, when your texts disappear from your phone, do they also disappear from your Gmail SMS label?
As per every 1000 texts - I assume you get a TON of texts per day?
I ask - because my cousin who is a promoter also gets/sends 1000's of text messages a week, and he made a funny comment yesterday about how some of his incoming texts "vanished."
He doesn't have SMS Backup+, so I couldn't verify it for him at the time. I'm wondering if you and him have the same problems?
Regards,
var
I also have SMS Backup + installed, but not Mighty text. When a disappearing text arrived, it never even had a time to kick in, even though I'm on wifi and it's said to backup upon arrival. The text is just gone, right after the notification vanishes.
But hard to investigate as it happens really very sporadic... And yup, I get hundreds of messages each day in a developing country, where sometimes also sms are not delivered, so everybody knows and it's not that big of a problem.
