Hi
I am having a problem with my Desire at the moment,regarding SMS messages.
I am currently in a 2G area, which is very sketchy at the best of times, and I seem to be having trouble receiving SMS messages.
Sometimes if I am on my phone using a 2G data connection, any text messages I receive during this time will not appear on my phone until I have either sent an outgoing text or made / received a phone call. Then I could get loads at once, as my phone has not gave them to me during the data connection, or even after I have finished actively using the data connection (APN still turned on though).
I currently have CM Nightly 09102010 with baseband version 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23.
Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening and get my text messages when they are sent, and not hours later?
Thanks
Stewart
No-one?
Doesn't anyone else experience this?
It sounds like a network problem, I had the same thing happen with older phones, not with my Desire though.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
So this isn't Dinc specific but as at least half of the problem occurs on a dinc I thought I might as well post it here.
I just recently had a problem with one of my associates where we are unable to send/receive text messages from one another. I have turned on received reports in the default messaging app and all my texts say received by the recipient.
Both of us can receive and send texts to other people and calling between us still works. I have wiped my phone, and gone with a stock Virtuous 3.2 rom and it still doesn't work. They are on a blackberry, also on Verizon if that helps.
I think this has something to do with your associates phone. My girlfriend's phone does the same thing, she won't receive messages or sometimes even calls. She has the new blackberry curve on VZW. We tried *228'ing it and that didn't help so we took it to the store, it was swapped and now it works like a charm.
It's not your phone, especially if you wiped it clean. Trust me.
I just bought an evo and had it flashed to metro. So far talk, and data works fine, data is a lil slow but that was expected on metro. Just a couple of issues tho, one I cant receive text messages, but I can send them. Two, the speed dial to my mailbox (#1) is still set to the old number of the privious owner, and don't know how to change it.
Can anyone help me out? any solutions?
Thanks in advanced
Take it to the place you had flash it.
They told me I have to wait at least 24 hours since I ported my number from Verizon. So I'll have to wait and see. I'll post an update later if its working or not so if anyone else has done it, they're aware of the 24hr wait.
Ok so after a day and a half or so. Everything is working fine, and I'm really happy with the phone. Data, txt, talk on the $45 plan on metro.
Now I'm trying to get my email app to work. Works with wifi, but not with regular phone signal. If I use the yahoo or gmail mail apps, it works with regular signal which i dont mine having to user their apps, but still need to figure out how to get my pop email accounts from my shared hosting. I set up all the correct incoming and outgoing setting but keep receiving errors. Just any FYI for any other EVO on Metro users.
Glad im not the only one that had this issue, I just flashed my evo 3d to metro from sprint.
Everything works but receiving texts. I can only get texts from other metro users but no one else yet.
Ill give it a day or 2 to see
Had Evo since day 1. Rooted right away and have been ROM-happy, flashing my favorite as developers release them. Went from Fresh to Myn to MIUI and am now on my favorite, most stable and reliable rom: Deck v1.
Problem:
9 days after switching to Deck I stopped receiving sms messages completely. This is not an issue of the notifications for sms being turned off, nor is it a ringer issue. The text never comes through. I can send texts without issue, no problem.
Tried to fix this in these ways:
•*I made sure I wasn't blocking any texts; this can be done at sprint.com > my account.
• I called sprint so they could remove/re-add my sms messages which usually fixes this type of issue.
• I restored a nandroid backup taken at a point when texts were working.
• I tried restoring the stock image - then updating profile. Still wouldn't receive.
• Obviously rebooted 35 times throughout the course of all this (i have to say it, somebody will ask )
• Full wipe etc.
Nothing worked.
Called Sprint knowing they couldn't do a damn thing and would probably stop listening if they knew my phone was rooted. Long story short they sent me in to get a new Evo. Was worth a shot, I wasn't convinced it was a hardware issue (how could it be, sms is not dedicated to a particular piece of hardware in the phone) but I went in and did the swap.
New Evo, unrooted, texts worked! but wait, that's not all.
9 days after rooting again and installing Deck v1 - poof - no incoming texts. The exact same issue.
WTF is going on here?? There is nothing in logcat, absolutely nothing happens on my side when somebody sends me a text.
Google voice texts are a good emergency workaround but I want my native texts. Is this a deck issue?? anybody else getting this? i;ve ggogled for weeks now and nobody has come accross this particular issue. Also this issue wont fix itself. i went a almost a week the first time without noticing i wasn't getting texts.
Have you tried a ##786# reset? You will need your MSL code. Also, it will wipe all data from your phone, so take that into account. When you ##786#, let the list load and then hit "menu", and "reset".
When I first flashed to a GingerSense rom, I lost the ability to send/receive MMS and I was not able to connect to 3G at all. 4G and WiFi worked, but the 3G was nonexistent to my phone. After calling Sprint several times, one tech told me to reset my phone this way. I told him I would have to call back because if my phone was going to get wiped, I had to back everything up first and it would take a while. After I backed up all my app/data with Titanium and made a NAND back-up, I did it and it got my phone working right.
Hopefully you get the same result. Good luck.

Flashed back to a Sense/stock rom to do just that. Didn't help.
Whenever somebody has issues like mine it usually involves sending AND receiving. For me it's strictly receiving.
People also center these issues around MMS. Sending MMS is not an issue for me. I can send everything. I can't receive a damn thing.
That certainly is an oddity. I've been using decks 1.2 since C, and am currently on Z. I've never had any issues with not receiving sms messages (as far as I know...I suppose it would take someone to tell me that they sent me a message and I never replied, which I haven't got yet) I have never really seen this issue, except on my buddies stock hero a couple weeks. His problem was that he had never deleted any of his texts, so literally had like 10k messages or more in there. Once I was finally able to get all his damn messages cleared out (took forever...he wouldn't let me factory reset it) he was able to start receiving texts again. I'm sure that's not your problem, because you've been flashing and wiping, surely your texts have been cleared out...unless you restore them all. That's the only time I've seen that. I would've suggested maybe it was an issue on sprints end, which would not be unheard of, but if that was the case it wouldn't have worked on your new unrooted evo when you got it.
I saw in deck's thread that you already deleted the telephony.db directory, and that had no affect for you. I really wish I had some suggestions for you, but that is just odd. My first guess would've been a problem with sprint.
EDIT: Also, are you using the GV and Sprint integration? I don't use it, but I saw that if some settings weren't correct with that (from the google voice website) that all messages will go thru google voice, and not thru the native messaging app. Could that possibly have anything to do with it, maybe?
If you have Sprint/Google Voice integration, that is the problem. There are some funky things going on with Google Voice lately. Can't send messages from Gmail to a Google Voice number and have it register as a cell sms. The message is automatically sent to and only goes to the Google Voice Inbox.
I've had some sms trouble with all ROMs, not simply Deck's. It sounds identical to your issue. Google is the only constant between all ROMs. My problem was resolved by going into Google Voice settings, unchecking "Receive text messages on this phone," saving changes, then rechecking it and saving those changes.
I have lost the ability to receive sms numerous times. I am convinced it is a Google/Sprint integration issue.
I cant get text messages either. I can send all day and im testing, flashing roms, recoveries, I just unrooted as a final solution (so i thought) and nothing. Same crap. If anyone has a fix or if the fix is on another thread let me know please, thanks. Other wise im just gonna root back and say F! text messages
If you're on MIUI and didn't wipe, when you flashed it can cause these issues. Try to reflash, after doing a full wipe.
This morning I started having an issue with calls, SMS, and possibly email notifications not being received on my phone. My gf called and sent two texts that I didn't get. Then I called her and the messages popped up a few seconds after she picked up. Same thing happened later in the day again. I'm pretty sure that I had signal the entire time. I was even browsing the web and downloading some updates from the Play store between the time the texts were sent and the time when I made a call and the texts arrived on my phone. She says that when she called me the call went straight to voice mail. It seems like the phone wasn't registered on the tmo network until I tried to make a call at which point the network became aware of it and sent the texts. The phone is rooted and running stock UVLH2. Any ideas what could be going on?
