Hey everyone, I'm not sure if one of you has experienced this but I have been having something very bizarre occurring with my text messaging. ONLY (so far as I know) between my mom and myself, text messages occasionally get truncated and concatenated with random old messages. For instance, I just sent her a message and what she received was the first half of my message and the second half of a message I sent over a year ago (from a different phone, no less)! She has had the same phone the whole time, but we've restored it several times and nothing's helped (the portion of the message that gets appended is not even on her phone anymore). It seems to only happen between my phone and hers. My texts to everyone else go through fine, her texts to me come through fine, and others' texts to her go through fine, but periodically, our exchanges are just garbled nonsense. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any ideas on what could be going on? I'd greatly appreciate any input!
Oh, it might be noteworthy that this seems to only happen when I send messages from my computer, but I don't think this is the culprit because I've used multiple desktop SMS clients and it's happened on all of them (and still only with my mom).
Edit: I just looked at two of the "broken" texts that she forwarded back to me and both got spliced after 154 characters. This doesn't seem like a coincidence to me but being that it's under the 160 character SMS limit, it also seems like a rather odd number. Perhaps someone can make sense of it.
Edit 2: I sent my mom a lengthy message simply saying "test test test ..." and got another unusual result. The first one, which was greater than 160 characters, went through just fine, but the second, which was closer to 500 characters exhibited this peculiar issue...But this time, the message was as follows: "test test test...[after 154 characters] __PORTION OF RANDOM TEXT___ [back to] test test test ..." Does anyone have the slightest idea why this is happening? It's so odd and now I'm mostly just curious about what the **** is going on and why it's following this pattern.

Is there a program that let you send the same text Automatically Daily to a person without you actually having to type it.
i had searched for software like that but to no avail.... but my phone does that automatically, and the only way i will be able to fix it is to flash [sic]me[sic] phone.... "my phone sends the SAME text message to my girlfriend all the time... after some troubleshooting, figured out it only does this when I open Text or E-mail (tmail.exe) - the signal quickly changes from Ev to 1x almost instantly after opening tmail.exe... currently I just leave it running in the BG, (not much time to flash) there have been days where she will get the same "Ill call you in a bit" message 8 or more times... There is also an issue where I will soft reset the phone and sometimes it will send a random text to someone I had texted earlier that day or even the day before." it is a wierd issue... ba-a-ad software issue. wonder how many people have experienced that

you could just hard reset your phone...
or take it to your carrier and tell them what is happening
There is a program that is a powerful text message program
There are these two guys that specialize in text message software. They have software called Auto Text Sender that can be found at www.autotextsender.com

I've had the same problem, with people getting random texts from me. I don't have T-Mobile though..
My Problem is, that I recieve only some of my SMS/text that was sent to my. So I heard from friends that they sent me a text message, but I didn't get it. There is no pattern on this problem. I have a conversation with 4 sms sent to me, but i only recieve 1,2,4. Message Nr. 3 is missing. Sometimes its also the first message thats lost.
All my friend got the status for sms/text activated and they get the status "delivered" for the lost messages.
Someone else that problem?
I only have seen the problem about sending, but none with getting.
yeah the same happened to me recently, but only with my GF number (same operator), not other contacts (AFAIK: since no one complained, no sms got missed!). still no diagnosis, and no solution obviously. hope that won't lead to a hard reset, which is a major pain
I had an issue that my sim card was full - it seemed the phone was trying to save sms to the sim. I deleted a few and now all seems okay. However they can't be going to the sim any more as I have received more than I deleted.
This happened after I had been using a spare phone as I went camping and needed a phone that had a few days battery life instead of the day or so that my touch pro 2 has
thanks for your help smudge.
it's not my case since my sim card is blank, no sms or contacts in it.
however, yesterday evening I hard resetted the phone, now I'm waiting to test if the problem is still here. If it is, it must be the operator's fault, or something related to my GF device / SIM. I'll let you know if I discover something new...
I have similar problem - I'm supposed to receive SMS, but I don't. I didnt have this problem (I didnt notice it) before I installed latest version of S2U2, maybe there's some problem with it? I have S2U2 set to show incoming SMS/MMS messages...
Also I have enabled hack mentioned in this forum which powers on mobile on receiving message (so it is displayed on the screen, not only notified by blinking LED and sound as is default setting). Maybe there is some incompatibility with S2U2, Im trying to pipoint this.
ChAr
uhm...missing sms should be the operator's problem,
i've been having such issue not only with TP2.....not all the time but usually consecutive sms with only one person usually caused it
i have the same problem, tried hard resets rom flash but no success!
i am from austria!..
please somone fix that thing
after HR yesterday evening no more missed sms until now, no one I had notice of. but that doesn't make me feel safe, it needs to be checked further.
surely gunggu is true!
sorry, probably ot, but i have the opposite problem.
I have too much sms in the incoming folder: I can see my sent sms. That means an sms like (me: hi bla bla..)
the received notification is disabled. any hint?
so after some tests, I figured out my problem.
It was the programm proxy cab, that I used. If it is installed, I got only every second sms, after it is deinstalled I got every sms...
Strange problem.
Hey there people all much smarter than me. I just bout a HTC touch pro 2 (i know 2009 called and wants their phone back) anyway i am having this problem of some sms messages not getting through. i have not been able to see a pattern due to not finding out about missing messages till sometimes weeks after i missed getting them
if anyone found a solution thats not alreay mentioned in this thread (cant find an option to save stuff to the sim)(cant find mention anywhere of "program proxy cab"
any help would be great otherwise i will have to go back to using my HTC tytn 2
Hi, I am having more odd problems in that some text messages that come in with no number pick a random contact (appears to be the same one). Also, i sometimes get texts from different people appearing in the same thread (as a conversation with someone else) and when you click reply it goes to the wrong person...... very odd..... im not sure what is going on there but has anyone experienced this? This might be me not knowing something or doing something wrong though...... many thanks in advance, matt
This also happens to my girlfriends phone. When she receives a text from a no number (ie a text from Orange 241, or a National Express ticket) it appears as it is from my cousin...
It does another odd thing too, where when she turns the phone on she gets a black text message every time from no number.
Very odd!

Hi, I am currently experiencing a wierd SMS issue on my Desire running Robo's HD rom 0.13. Lets point out first that my sms is fine, I can send and receive texts perfectly. Except for one contact.
Me and my girlfriend text a lot, and I believe my phone doesn't want me to. Whenever I text her, she texts back, and I go to text her back,it says message not sent. However, if I delete the thread (with two messages in) and create new message,it sends fine. Baring in mind we exchange around 100sms per day, I am having to delete the thread and create a new text message just to get one through, which is getting quite annoying. I shall just stress this is the only contact out of the 25-30 people I text regularly who I am having this problem with. The things I have tried are:
Deleting and creating new contact
Changing her number to various formats (+44, 44, 07 etc)
Reboots (many of them)
Changing her contact name
Different sms apps (chomp, stock, handcent)
Nothing has worked, and the problem still remains. I would really like this sorted, as it is getting quite annoying. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm experiencing it sometimes as well on my phone, but not as frequent as you are describing here.
I had this issue once with a Sony Ericson. It dissapeared when changing carrier and sim. Maybe you can try a "pay as you go" sim card for one day?
Good morning everyone and Happy New Year!
Does anyone have issue with Text Message being slow? I'm using the stock Message App come with AT&T. It always take about at least 3 or 4 second to complete the sending (i.e. the spinning circle on every text). No matter how short or long the text is. Especially, group text is very slow. I think it's not the Network issue because I had Note 3 before and never have the issue.
Might do you some good to reprogram your phone. I do not know the number you dial for reprogramming though... Call AT&T or visit a local store.
I don't have issues with slow text messages myself. I have issues with my phone just randomly not getting them until I reboot. Any text messages sent between the time it stopped getting them and I reboot are lost. Not sure what causes it to happen. Happened a few times within a month then went months without happening and then just recently happened again...
