Hello!
My problem is that when sending SMS not sent the first two characters, for example:
As it should be: "Hello how are you?"
As actually sent: "llo how are you?"
I'm from Venezuela and the problem appeared when I changed the chip of the phone company, with the first chip sending ok, but the other not sent the first two characters.
I have a HTC Inspire 4G Android Revolution HD 6.3.2.
Any suggestions? Problem with ROM and company phone?
Thanks
If it worked fine with the previous SIM then its a problem with the new SIM/phone company. You should go and ask them.

As sashank said, it's most probably an issue with your sim.
My friend had his sim card replaced but in his case he could no longer send SMS at all, they sat in the outbox no matter what he tried to do.
He called the company's support and told him to replace his sim, the problem was fixed.

Hi,
I have a Norwegian HTC Desire unbranded phone, but i currently live in Qatar and i use it with my sim card in Qatar...
From time to time I write some text messages to Norway to friends and such,
but there is one of my friends I can't reply sms to...
I use "ChompSMS" as a messages client, and his phone nr is saved on my phone memory, with the country prefix and all...
When I compose a new message to him, he gets the text message, but when i reply to the message, the country prefix does not get in cluded in the text, so I get a failure when trying to send it...
When i press "view message failure", the nr its trying to send it to is "90508395" insted of "+4790508395", this is the only contact i have this problem with, all my other norwegians friend i can reply to without a problem..
Anyone have a soloution?
Thanks...
Anyone have a soloution for me?
Would be deeply apriciated....
I had the EXACT same problem and people thought I was crazy.
The only solutions I found were to either to change to Handcent, dont know why, but it fixed it.
OR
Reflash to a new rom. That completely fixed the problem and I was able to go back to chompsms.
Thanks ALOT!
I will try Handcent now, and hopefully it will all go away
Thanks again
It could be also a setting on your friends phone, something like reply to and he has that set up with his nr. but not in intl format. Worth checking...

I got nowhere using chompsms, and no help from posting on the forum. Some googling revealed handcent, which I now use every day. It just works, without requiring googling or forums etc. Like you'd expect an SMS app to be, really.

Hi guys n gals
I'm looking for an app which will automatically forward sms (and mms, if poss) to a different phone number?
Currently testing out a sim with a new service provider, and want to use it in my Desire to check signal/data coverage everywhere I go. However I don't want to carry a second phone with my old sim in it, just so I can receive calls and sms from people. Don't want to give out the new number to people yet, until I'm sure I'm changing over.
Of course I can set up the 2nd phone to forward calls via my network, but can this be done somehow with sms?
Thanks!
Why don't you just transfer your old number to your new sim?

I will, once I'm satisfied with the new service provider's data coverage/network etc. I'm just testing at the moment.
Since posting I've found an app on the Market which is called, funnily enough, SMS Forwarder which works for sms. So problem solved!
Hi,
My Desire HD has this issue when I receive an MMS msg from a user with an iPhone.
I can a receive the mms fine but when I attempt to open the attachment, I get a blank page.
This only happens with mms msgs from iPhone. I'm able to open msgs from other phones just fine.
I'm running Android 2.3.3 with Android Revolution HD 5.1.7 ROM.
I've tried googling this problem & have found many other users with the same issue but no solution so far..
Anybody know of a solution? Should I try flashing to the latest version of Revolution HD?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The answer, my friend, is never buy an iPhone. I'm surprised they can send anything.
Jokes aside. I can't see how it matters what phone the mms is sent from. Whatever phone sends it, its data all compressed or whatever the same way. So. The problem may lie in the type of data being sent.
Have you tried to receive different types of data and maybe a few different photos?
I have experienced receiving mms problems myself. Only ever resolved when I changed rom hope this helps.

I can only assume that, difficult as this may be to believe, the iphone MMS is in some kind of no standard format. My advice would be to suggest that your iphone owning mate either get an app that allows him to send them with a standard format (whatsapp would allow him to send them purely as data) or to buy a proper phone.
I know this was an old issue before we had Gingerbread, but I was surprised when a coworker of mine with the same phone (Tmo GS2) told me (and showed) me that he was experiencing this still even on a brand new phone (used to have the issue on his old Vibrant).
What happens:
Receive a text message, open up the conversation. Shows the correct conversation, but if you look more closely at who the actual Recipient is, it will be some other random contact.
Any ideas out there? Is Samsung using older, unpatched source for messaging?

I thought this was an issue that had been resolved though. I've never experienced the problem, on the same device, though I run custom ROMs not stock.
Wasn't this Tiger Woods' excuse?

Hi is anyone else here have issues receiveing text messages in foreign countries? I'm in the military and currently stationed overseas South Korea.
I am able to receive messages from some but not all. The ones I am not able to receive messages from instead of getting the actual message I get "Message format not supported."
The only difference I noticed from the various users are that smartphone users work and old style flip phone dont work.

They might be actually sending you MMS in a format that is not supported by the receiving phone. Works mostly when new vs old phones send each other stuff. If it's just text message, I fail to see how it's different though, unless it contains characters that the receiving phone cannot display.
Say if my phone is not able to display it how and where would I get the necessary software to display it? I've searching Google Play but nothing that actually installs the language packs onto the phone all side apps.
I've tried talking to HTC customer support they replied stating that the One X currently doesn't support all languages in Asia. Now if that were to be true what would be an work around? A global phone not having global support like seriously... My Nexus is way better then this phone.
Any suggestions? I'm currently stationed in South Korea not being able to receive text messages on my phone will partly render this phone obsolete.

Bump does anyone has an work around?

when my phone arrived, it did not have american english as an option. i downloaded an app from the play store called morelocale2. maybe that will help?
I just installed the morelocale2 switched it to Korean had them send me a text this time it just showed format not supported in Korean. I believe this rules out as not the software side. Perhaps that or morelocale2 doesn't fully switch the phones display and only the system language.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
there are some other locale type apps on the market. and there is the possibility to select korean for the keyboard on mine. so it might be worth checking around more.
one other issue mentioned elsewhere is message size. you can choose a size up to 300k in the message app supplied with the phone. possibly another message app would enable larger messages.
there's a korean version of handcent sms. handcent is, though garnering some criticism for the way it functions on the one x.
I currently have the maximum message size set to 300 already by default. I've also tried handcent, and pro sms. Installed both the Korean plugins for both app insteadof getting message not supported I get a blank space, as if someone sent me a text message with spaces no text.
The space isn't the full length of the message it only has about roughly 3-6 spaces worth.
I also installed the Google Korean IME I can type in Korean now but still no luck with text.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
if you've signed up for a handcent account and done everything else, you may have to try the korean service sms app or contact htc to tell them the difficulty you're having using the regular app. let us know how it works out. by the way, does your service provider in korea have it's own app? they may be able to help with tweaking to some extent.
I've contacted HTC support already they just site t ne to google play to install some third part program telling me they are allowed to endorse other products so I have to search around myself.
As for contacting my service provider I have not done so yet will be next on the list. My current service provider is "olleh kt"
It shouldn't be the provider though because my Nexus S works just fine send and receive no issues. It also supported every language unlike the One X such a let down.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
can't say i know how to do it, but maybe you can port over the sms/mms software on your nexus. some owners in the states are having to tweak apks and so forth to get at&t voicemail, for example. hopefully there's a fix for you, too.
It seems its the service provider issue at first I had assumed it was cause the old phone to new phone problem. Now I just realized its the provider can't receiveanything outsideof my provider going to talk to the manager later.

Sounds hopeful.
