[Q] SMS problem - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, strange problem is happening with me over last couple of days and as usual Vodafone are no help whatsoever at rectifying it, hopefully someone on here can help.
All of my contacts are working as normal with sms and mms except for one contact. When I try to sms this one contact the phone does not even attempt to send it, it only keeps the typed text in the typing box and leaves the icon flashing as if waiting for more text to be typed! If I add a subject title to the message it will send fine as an mms message to this person and can phone the person all fine...just the sms option not working.
Would appreciate if anyone has any ideas

Try recreate the contact and try not to sync the contact with any web profile you have.

Have tried this mate, even spoke to HTC earlier and the guy was pretty helpful but baffled. Am running tbfusion3d but dont think problem is with that as I've been using it for months. Tried installing handcent app there but same problem, send button just refuses to work with the one contact

Can they send you a sms and then try to reply. Is the phone number stored(typed out) the same as the rest of your contacts? Try adding the number to an existing contact and see what happens. Deft strange tho. Subscribed

You have an extremely rare case here. Even if you've tried to clear the contact? Hmm, I don't think I can help you further no more. Sorry

They can text me fine but replying just draws a blank unless I add a subject title as an mms...really strange
Ps yes if i delete contact and only use number its the same

Installed GoSMS and all good.

[Q] Problem with my Messages

I have searched everywhere for this answer, but I thought it would be worth a shot asking here.
I have been trying for a month now to get this problem fixed and its on my last nerve. When I send or receive a message from my girlfriend, it pops up as two names instead of one. (refer to the attachment) The contact named "David" pops in front of her name every time. I have tried reinstalling and deleting or even re adding both people's contact. Nothing has worked and would absolutely LOVE some input on this. It happens with a few of my other contacts, but this one is the one I use all the time so you can understand my torment.
I cant go into the thread to send a message, because everything i send goes to both people obviously (very annoying)
I appreciate any help....BTW I use handcent for messaging

Isn't it weird.... i didn't have one problem with this on 2.1. When i wiped everything... including cache... for SkyRaider the first time thats when it started. I have had to wipe many times for SkyRaider ROM updates and every time i do, i still get this problem in some form.
It wouldn't be ROM related would it... or is it a Froyo thing? grr
This pic shows it a little better.

did someone mess with your phone and save your girls number under david lee as well? Also, did you text both of them in the same message? Can you confirm that david lee is not receiving your texts as well?

No one has messed with my phone at all. I just checked again and they are both totally separate. David Lee does not have Chelsea's in his contact numbers and Chelsea does not have Davids.
Yes if i actually send a message through that thread it will go to both of them. With my brother's contact, its worse. When the thread pops up for his it's not just two people, its like 9. The only way to ensure that she only receives my message is to go to her contact and select the "send message" button with her cell number.
Did you originally send both of them the same message?

No, I never send either of them the same message and originally I probably sent a message to Chelsea and that's what it looks like everytime instead of her name by itself.

As you tell from this picture, it doesn't really fix it. I deleted his contact...un synced Facebook....uninstalled and reinstalled handcent to arrive at what I have in that picture. How in the Hell the number still shows up even after the contact is gone is ridiculous...

htc sense sms problem

the order of txt messages is very strange, time received also wrong.. what should i do? i use the network time.
i've experienced this too, the message i received is about 2 minutes past my clock. This happened especially when the sender is on different carrier, so i guess this is because there is a difference in their time server.
+1

Thanks!!
I use the app "SMS Time Fix". Even I used to get this problem but now with this app the timestamps are perfect!!
Hope this helps!!

Do you have the latest update? 2.17? or 1.29?
Yes, I have the latest update... It's something pretty rare, I thought it could be cause it's factory unlock from Singapore and I install Spanish language through morelocale2, I was thinking also that it could be something relate to the Thai language or something but I cannot verify it none of them yet...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Try to send from another program, just to verify if the problem is from the system or just the sms application,
there's such nice third party apps to send & recieve SMS, such as Handcent SMS & Go SMS)
They are available in the play store for free. Try to send by one of them and give us a feedback.
BTW... welcome to Android club :good:
Problem
Try to start-up the phone without an simcard, put the sim in the telephone and restart. This solve the problem for me
Thanks for your replies, definitely it's the sms application, I sent sms from go sms and the message received complete, I will try the sim card solution, I'll let you.know.

Messaging app on stock problems

Does anyone else have issues writing text that are longer than one sms long? If so, is there a fix. This app has had the same issues on each update.
Another problem is when I go to compose a new text and I am typing the person's name in the contacts box it won't show the phone number I am trying to send a message to. It happens when I text my wife. I will type her name and it will show every other phone number she has but her cell phone. Can't seem to figure it out. I went into the contacts app and set her cell as the preferred number and that didn't fix it. I don't think that issue can easily be recreated.
So those are the two issues. Also, are those issues on the custom roms? I would imagine they are at no fault to the devs.

I am a noob but wanted to try and duplicate your issues on my phone.
I am flashed stock ZVB. I use GOSMS but tested the stock messaging app for your questions. I sent 2 text messages that were over the character limit. One sent correctly (1 of 2 and 2 of 2) the other only sent the second half of the second message (2/2).
I did not notice any issues with contact names.
Hope this helps.

[Q] messaging bugs/issues

Got my one the day after release day from Verizon. I've been noticing a couple little bugs going on with the messaging app and want to see if anyone else is having the issues. Friend of mine has the phone to and he seems to be issue free.
The first issue is when hanging up a call, I often get a " unfortunately messages has stopped". No idea what's causing it but it's happening Pretty frequently.
The second one is hard to explain but I'll do my best. A few times while messaging multiple people individually, it some how puts the full message that I just sent right back into the text field. Almost like I never sent it but I did. Ends up saving the message as a draft so I have to erase it. I haven't figured out the exact steps to make this happen but if I do, I'll post it here.
Anyone else having these weird issues?

Not sure if this will help you, but I had imported my old messages into the new phone during setup using the HTC app (I forget what it's called). Messaging was messed up when I started using the new phone. I deleted all messages and cleared the messaging app cache. All perfect since then.
