Hi, i have a desire on contract with 3.
All my texts arent in order, so when i get a new text, i have to search through them to find it and its getting annoying now. All the times are wrong on the texts, any ideas? thanks
Are you texting people in different time zones ? Mine get put out of order when I do that because it shows their time so thinks their reply was sent before my original text.
nope, all in the same zone

My phone froze with the notification for 2 new text messages staring me in the face. It didn't respond to the power button, so i popped the battery and restarted. On restart - no 2 new text messages were found! I know the answer is probably 'no way,' but is any recovery of these messages possible?
Oh, PS - i'm on T-Mobile running the new HTC 1.33 rom.
Nope. I had this issue, 2 messages sitting at the HTC Home screen. I had to take out the battery too, SMS's were gone and I was racking my face for about 3 days finding out who sent them. If there's one thing that tickles me, it's that.
Sorry I know of no way of getting to them, check all your folders and perhaps there is a stored SMS database file it might have remnants.
I went as far as having a friend who works for my carrier, run a network resend to see if they would be pushed to my handset again, to no avail.
i found out who they were just by contacting everyone it might have been. but i seem to remember this happening before at least once or twice, so it'd be nice to know there was a fix for this or a way to recover.
I tried to search the forums for this, but couldn't find anything. When I upgraded to the 6.1 ROM (CRCs 9.2) Whenever I receive a text message the time stamp is an hour before. If I receive a Text at 5:15 PM, it will say it was received at 4:15 PM. This isn't a problem when reading them because it still orders them in the order sent/received in the conversation window. But If I send a text and a different conversation within an hour later receives a text, in my summary screen the sent one will still appear at the top, because it has a later time. The biggest annoyance is when using PIM backup to restore my Texts, it sorts them by time. A lot of the conversations restored will have all the receives then after all the sents, because of the time difference. I thought it was isolated to one contact / cell carrier. It appears to be all texts I receive. Am I the only one seeing this? Any thoughts?
I did download CRCs 11.2 ROM last night, and wanted to give it a try, but fear restoring my conversations from yesterday, and not being able to read them.
Re-check your time/date/region settings again. I had the same problem and when i checked the region settings (a second time) it was a different time zone, i put in the correct time zone and all was fine . hopefully that helps
I tried that and it didn't make a difference. The regional settings are for the US, the the TZ settings are picked up by the network from my carrier. I am in the Mountain time zone. There are 3 mountain time zones, Arizona has their own mountain, with out daylight savings, and the one in Mexico. The carrier assigned it correct as GMT -7.
I may just have to live with it.
I to am in the same area as you and have noticed this problem from time to time.. I don't send/receive a whole lot of texts, but the ones that were an hour off seem to all come from the same source, my wife. I checked her phone and it was on the wrong time zone.
Hey guys,
Picked up a desire yesterday and its great, though I'm having some issues with sms. I notice I don't receive any texts until I send a text first, then I'll receive 2 or 3 texts, timestamped in the past, up to an hour ago!
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
edit: unrooted on o2
i get a similar problem, i know i should have received a text message but it doeant show up for hours.
unrooted on tmobile uk
Most likely when your phone is connected over GPRS the text don't come through till you disconnect, used to happen on my N95.
So if my phone is operating in GPRS mode, until it decides it doesn't need the internet anymore and disconnects, it won't retrieve texts... right. So any workarounds or fixes for this?
Prety much, after I use GPRS I just made a call and during or after the call my text came in.
Been getting this all day, are people really just dealing with this or is it only a few people that have this issue?
I am having another problem... on T-mobile, my phone won't download MMS messages. It will just say Download error, General Network Failure... After it expired (3days) , I was sent a link to the T-mobile website, where I am able to see it for 14 days.
Another problem that I am having, the phone is struggling sending long text messages... 4 or 5 normal lenght messages 500-600 characters... I am using the Text App provided with the phone.
I have a problem that I dont think is an actual problem I think its just how the phone works, and tbh its a bit rubbish.
If you dont have signal when you hit send (im my office at work I only get signal on a little square of the desk) the phone says "message not sent". Sometime when it gets signal it will send the message, but if it doesnt get signal quick enough it seems to just give up sending.... a bit lame really....
I'm going to post a message up with the T-mobile UK MMS settings so people in future can find it on search. Have a look in 5 mins.
JAmes.
I've got the same issue with my HTC Desire.
My operator is a Belgium one, namely Mobistar.
I've got the impression that when i open the sms box, i start seeing the messages. Don't know if it's the communication that goes wrong, or the 'throughput' in the phone (screen, alerting...).
After installing (and using of course) chompSMS, this problem is gone... yipppie...
so the problem is the gf epic 4g phone time is 11:58am and i send her a text at 12:00 and when she texts me back its sends at 11:58 for her but instead of the text moving down to a new row, the text moves UP above my text at 12:00.
i both live in the same city but how come the time is different and why does her text move up instead of down?
is there a way she can fix this ? but disabling something?
please help and thanks.
What cell provider are you with?
It sounds like your provider and Sprint don't agree on the time. Since the stock sms progam appears to sort by the time the message was sent, I doubt there's a good way to fix this. Either of you could try manually changing your time, but it will change back next time you switch cell towers. She could try handcent or chompsms and see if either of those sort differently.
the strange part is, when i bought her the phone last month, it was never a problem till this morning.. but i am with t-mobile. i recently asked her to download handcent and lets see if that works out.
thanks
I have this problem with.my epic.and.my wife's evo
Sent from my Evo Killer!
Weird, another problem is when the screen turn all white u can see static lines like something is bugging it..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I have certain friends that use either ATT or Tmobile, and sometimes when they text, they go off and send maybe 4-6 texts one right after the other. If I try to text back as I'm receiving texts I get an error message, I think it says Error message 34. I also notice that if I try to send multiple texts like that, the little loading icon comes up and they slowly get sent off one by one. I had the same problem with my HTC EVO 3D on Sprint and even my Palm Pre, they're all so painfully slow when it comes to texting.
My only remedy around this has been to use Google Voice and text using data with my other number, but I don't really give it out to anyone so it wouldn't make sense to do that, plus it can't receive picture mail.
Is this just a flaw of Sprint? I'm using the oem texting app. If you want to replicate this issue, you could use google voice on your computer to try to send multiple texts to your phone and try to text back with your phone as you're receiving them. Your text will either hang there for a while and eventually send maybe 30-40 seconds later, or it will just error out and you have to manually resend it.
edit: just realized that this thread may be in the wrong section.. I don't see a delete option unfortunately :\
Yes it is in the wrong section. It should be in Q / A . Ask a Mod to please move it. As for your issue I would lean toward it being a Network issue. Reason being, I've run into it before. Check online, or call Sprint. Ask them if they are doing any work in your area. You can also try Updating PRL /Profile. If that still does not resolve it you can try ##72786# . That will reset your Data. Make sure you leave it alone, and let it finish.
