Desire HD with Lord C's 5.5 ICS Rom.
I've had a few problems with the rom so am doing a full wipe and upgrading to 6.1, with as few titanium backup restores as possible this time.
I've had a few texts not appear on my phone? They show up as sent on other people's phones but I don't get them? Happened twice in two days, with two different people (one from an iphone 3gs and another from an android, not sure what phone). I have hundreds of texts with these people and didn't ever experience this on gingerbread roms (I used ARHD and CM7 for about 6 months each).
Any idea what might cause it? I'm using stock sms app, and I'm about to do a full wipe and upgrade from 5.5 to 6.1.
I opened go SMS and didn't see them; they aren't on my phone and I don't receive notifications of them.
Thanks
I see you're on Orange. I would say that is your problem.
Nowadays it only happens every now and again. You should get the messages in a few days.
Sent from The App that Time Forgot.
I'm not convinced; there was one that was sent on the 9th march that I haven't ever received, and I've only had the issues since ICS.

dropped texts are a very common problem across any network and phone. Lord knows how many fights ive had because of a text that said "do you miss me?" that i never got lmao. Anyways, what specific data are you restoring from backup with tibu? I'm sure the answer is no, but were these texts sent to you during your upgrade process of flashing the phone?
In the UK texts are actually really reliable; obviously you don't always know when they haven't delivered (orange charge like 3p per delivery report, no thank you to an extra £30.00 a month!) but I've never had anyone mention "oh, didn't you get my text" or feel that someone had ignored me pre-ics upgrade. I assumed that their phone was the problem, but after it happened several times I've decided it was me
No they weren't send/received during flash; I tend to flash a rom and then (as long as it's stable) stick with it. The last time I flashed a rom was a couple of weeks ago, and only as an upgrade.
TiBu is just restoring small things like wifi netwrosk and fruit ninja scores haha
Having full-wiped and restored SMS, call-log, re-setup accounts and got the majority of my apps all sorted, the phone seems quite stable. Had 2 reboots during the first hour or so but I think that's probably down to everything running for the first time, it seems rather stable now.
I've got alogcat running & saving logs to sd card so we can see what's causing any reboots if they occur too!

Is it just me, or is the SMS screen a bit jerky and slow? I do have a 1000+ messages in there, but I can't imagine why it would make the scrolling so poor.

Actually it's almost 3 years worth of messages (transferred it from phone to phone).
Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
I had to factory reset my phone because of this a couple of days back. My contacts went blank and I could barely load the messages.
I can confirm this. Scrolling through sms is laggy and not very responsive. Even in threads with only less than 10 messages. So annoying...
Mines always been like that :-( grown to put up with it

doesn't froyo fix this?
If you let your message count get that high, then you're bound to encounter speed loss with the app. Try clearing your messages? Unless you need to know what happened 3 years ago?

Technically no. They should have dealt with performance issues with a high volume of text messages. I work within software development, and something like this would most certainly raise a red flag.
Hey sorry to raise a thread from the dead.
My Messages app now runs extremely slowly - can take 5-10 seconds to load an SMS thread and sometimes lags when i'm typing a reply.
Sounds like other people have experienced similar issues. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? It's almost certainly down to having a large number of messages in the thread (over 3,500 from this one contact for reasons i won't go into!) but surely with a modern smartphone it should be able to handle lots of text messages! My iPhone with 2 years worth of messages had no such issues.
One other issue - for no reason whatsoever it somtimes jumps me back up to the very top of the thread of texts meaning i either have to spend ages scrolling down or back up and reload it go get it to show the most recent ones. Anyone else experienced this?
I dont have any issues with lag etc but i second the jump-to-top issue.. its happening once a day for sure and im sooo sick of it! Anyone knows anything?

So just as an update on my woes - my phone on Friday randomly wiped every single one of my text messages. I reset the phone but nothing came back.
Great.
On the plus side, messages is now running very fast. But seriously, a smartphone that can't handle lots of text messages (which are surely microscopic in file size) is just pathetic.
A person who can't be bothered to store extra messages seperatly is pathetic. There are apps to store/back up messages and if you are constantly referencing 2 year old messages you need help.
Just my opinion though.
I realise your comments aren't targeted at me but perhaps rather than just insulting someone's choices you could actually be helpeful and tell them the names of the apps you talk of.
Not even going to bother addressing the insular comments.
Search "SMS backup" on the market. There are lots and lots of apps. "Backup to gmail" is one I saw that looks good. I personally don't news or use any backup solution for SMS.
It seems that my phone is sending ~90 text messages a night to one of my contacts, but they aren't showing up in my sent messages (stock messaging app or Handcent), or listed in my usage when I check my plan online. When my friend called his carrier, they said that one of the phones must have a virus. He doesn't have a smart phone, so I'm guessing that my phone is the one with the problem. No one else has mentioned this to me, but it's happened two nights in a row now.
Has anyone heard of this happening? I'm running CM Nightly #32, but nothing too fancy other than that. I'm going to try a full wipe and reinstall, but I wanted to tap into the knowledge here and see if anyone knows what this is and how to stop it.
weird. what does it say in his smses?
Check all of your applications that have permission to send SMS messages. One of them may be nefarious.
I've had this happen with nokia dumbphones before. Where are the two of you located? it seems to happen a lot in Europe. I was living in Poland for a few years, and I often had random or 10x copied messages from people. It was usually a network thing, and nobody was ever charged for it, even when an international SMS was delivered tons of times.
We're both in Philadelphia (US), he's on Verizon and I'm on T-mo. His phone is older and dumb, but not a Nokia, I don't think.
Am I right that if I had picked up some kind of virus other people would be receiving hundreds of texts, too?
In any case, I think that the full wipe has taken care of it. I am still interested in finding out what exactly happened, if anyone has any more ideas.
Long time User, First Time Poster. Lol. And Because Of My Lurking and no Posting, I Couldnt ask this Question In The Thread. Definitely More Incentive To Start getting Involved In These Forums. Any ways:
I'm experiencing an Issue with Randomly deleted Text messages With this Rom. Especially When I've Received Multiple Messages, That Have remained Unread. Lets Say for Example I've Received a 2 part text. 2 Messages Are there, But when i go to read, the first half is missing. Also, I Use An App, "SMS Popup", So It Could Be the Combination of the app and the rom, I guess. But the app has never malfunctioned in this way before across previous ROMS I've Used. After I Experienced Numerous Deleted Texts yesterday, I've uninstalled The app to Test This theory. I Was Unable to Find any other postings in the Thread mentioning any similar Issues, So I Figured it should be brought to attention, And hopefully fixed. Thank you for your Time, And I'll report back My Own Findings Tomorrow When I've Gone through the Day without SMS Pop Up.

I just posted the same II've experience this problem with that rom as well as Kingdom REVOLUTION and Mik Rom..basiaclly roms with sense 3.0 implementations. Ive tried several diff ways to get rid of the problem...none have worked.
Methods I tried:
Restoring all apps from market (dont use titanium backup)
Use only the stock mms app
a2sd lowmem-default
Hey guys, I put Synergy (non-Godmode) on my girlfriends phone. It ran great at first, but for the past week or so she hasn't been able to send or receive picture messages, and sometimes she isn't getting texts. And she says her internet has been super slow since she started having texting issues. Now, I'm not entirely sure this is an issue with the ROM, combined with the fact that I can't post in the Dev area yet, I figured this was appropriate. Any help is appreciated!

I also had several issues with synergy. I tried both versions. It seems it is cache locking on my hardware version 0004 and caused all sort of lag drag drop issues. I would suggest Mikg on her phone B/c it seems to be specific it certain hardware within the 0004 hardware set. I was able to temp cure this issue you describe with prl update and v6 script but it came back days later. Try Mikg
hacked ass EVO. Mikg 2.58/aggresive freedom .9 universal
I would start by going into recovery and wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache and seeing if that does not help.
Are you using Titanium Backup to freeze anything?
No, I don't have Titanium Backup on her phone for anything other than restoring apps. I might just try a new ROM. I'll report back, thanks guys!
Well depending on what apps you are restoring, sometimes Titanium resotres them to the phone memory, then you have to push them to the SD card. Without doing the push, then you will lose all the phone memory space and that has a huge effect on lag.
ALSO, does she use Handcent or the stock messaging app? If so, the widgets do not work unless the program is on the phone memory. Well, that also means that all the texts and mms messages will also be on the phone memory. After a couple hundred texts and dozens of pics, you run out of memory quick. An app like GoSMS Pro allows you to move EVERYTHING to the SD card, and then get the GoSMS widget to install on the phone memory and all is good space wise.
That is all I can think of as I had that problem at first, once I figured out the extra 2 steps to titanium and the SMS problem, I have been hassle free for months.
I have two Major problem using after market ROM's
First -
My keyboard and haptic buttons do not work a lot of the time. Often they will work for the first boot only after a clean install.
Does anyone have a quick fix for this? One that is not a fresh wipe (I have done this a lot)
Second -
My contacts are weirded up. It seems I've super synced with my GMail and I am getting loads of random number (A lot of them from abroad). Also the number I did have (Friends, Family etc) have now disappeared.
I cannot call my girlfriend but I can call a Kebab House in New Zeland!
Weird stuff going on. Is this ROM specific? I'm using Andromadus but this has been happening since A13 and now Beta1
More then likley rom specific, or a bad flash

Looks like specific ROM issue. I never experienced this.

Really strange.
I would say ROM Specific but i've tried several Andromadus versions and never had that kind of issue.
What surprises me most is your google sync problem. I've installed many different ROMs many times and never had a single problem with numbers disapearring or unknown numbers appearing.
I think that you won't have any other choice than installing an other ROM and see what happens.
Solved the Contact Issue
Thanks for the advice. It turns out I sold a spare handset and stupidly left my GMail logged in. He then overwrote his contacts from his SIM to my GMail. At least I think this is what happened.
I just went to Gmail and reset my contacts by Two Weeks and it worked a treat,
Still having the Keyboard Issues with Andromadus but I just bought a Touchpad so that is keeping me busy now...
