Just been speaking to a guy from work who in the same situation as me, hes on orange, im on t-mobile, and basically, about 1 in every 10 messages sent, doesnt send, or some send twice etc...
Iv just installed a new rom and rooted, and if anything my issues are getting worse.
As i text a lot, this is rather annoying and i now it not just me!
So question is , is it a software issue or hardware?
and can it be fixed, or helped?
many of my messages are only sent half since i have my desire.....
I get the same. I kinda thought it was because I flashed with a stock ROM instead of the Orange one but when HTC sent back from repair with the Orange ROM it did the same bloody thing!
It only happens when I text Vodafone or O2. Orange, Virgin, 3 etc. are fine.
To be honest I think it's a network issue. Either that or your phone is in a weak 3g area, and as you are sending the text, it is changing from hsdpa, to 3g etc. That might cause it to double send, or fail.
Try setting it to 2g only and test it.

Yeah he's rite its prob ur signal, i get it when im on one bar hsdpa rather than, 4 bar gprs lol also data affects txt msgs, it sometimes happens when my fone is sending or receving data
if its signal why does it happen on my tmobile phone, and my friends orange phone???
I turn 3g off most of the time, makes no difference , still messes up.
Both networks share the same masts don't they? If you are both in the same office and connected to the same mast that would explain it. Also this thread only has people complaining from tmob, and orange. I'd say that is a pointer. I'm on O2 and have never had this problem. I also don't remember seeing any other threads on the same issue.
I'm by no means saying this isn't an issue for you, but I'd be looking more at the network than the handset. Have you rang Tmob and asked them what might be up?
For me, this issue is related to spesific contacts. When I text some of my contacts, I always get an error message. I have reentered their number in phonebook, but it does not help.
This is rather annoying, as one of the contacts is my wife...

Not a network issue. It also happens on Vodafone. I don't have so many messagee broken as you to but one out of eight is not sent. I think it desires problem.

Yep same on my unlocked unbranded desire on 3 uk getting pissed off with it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Im on orange generic non-branded phone with bog standard Sence ROM, I noticed I get this and as I have notice will all phones it only tends to happen if im sending a text at the same time I receive it, Of course actually getting it to resend is a bugger! and normally requires a battery pull, Im used to it these days but
Has anyone who is having problems tried a different messaging application, e.g Handcent?
Regards,
Dave
I've posted all of this before and there are loads of threads on this topic already
If you uninstall chomp/handcent (or any third party messaging app - even the HTC sense one) and use 'messages' instead this problem goes away.
Like you, I would get send failed/multiple messages received quite often, but since using the default app i've now sent 1, 127 messages without 1 problem I used to get this all of the time and this is what has cured it for me
1) uninstall any messaging software you have downloaded from the market
2) download sms unread count and sms popup from the market
3) put the sms unread count widget on the homescreen
4) configure sms popup to your liking
5) send messages to your heart's content
This uses the default 'messages' app rather than anything else and works perfectly
For me this happened continually, regardless of if the phone had just been hard reset and only had the stock message app.
In my case it was an issue with a local mast and the switching between WCDMA and GSM signal.
The issue went, as some other people have said, when I switched the phone to GSM only - keep in mind just turning Mobile data OFF isn't the same thing, you must go into settings and select 'GSM only'.
Give it a try and see if the issue remains.
There does seem to be several causes for the same issue so what works for me / someone else may not work for everyone

This was part of my problem too as my signal at home constantly moves between 3G and E, however, the method I posted above has fixed this too

Same issue for me one contact can sms me but every time i try to reply it fails other contacts seem to work just fine.
Sorry but how do you uninstall the sense messaging app?
This is defiantly a problem with the desire not network. I've never had this problem before with any of my phones. but since got the desire it happens a lot. it seems to be when I try to send multiple texts very quickly. plz stop blaming the network it didn't happen when I had an iPhone so how do you explain that.
I also have an issue sending multiple sms. My Desire is on Vodafone, unrooted.
Whether I use the default messaging app or Chompsms, if I try to send a message to multiple people it immediately fails to most of the recipients.
The phone will give me repeated warnings (vibration/failed msg reports) again and again, until it has managed to send the sms to all recipients. It will generally complete the request eventually, but in the process it's thrashing my battery down as I have to keep checking if the new notification is a warning or in fact an sms that I have received from someone else.
This behaviour is absolutely AWFUL, and although I used to forward on jokes that I received to a list of about 20 people several times a day, I just cannot do it any more. The same action using the same sim in my old Dream completes fine without a hiccup.
how do you uninstall the htc sense messaging app?
do you just mount /system and remove the Mms.apk from the App folder?
will this still mean that the default messaging app is not removed?
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.

The merged network has been great up to around a week ago. I was sending texts, calling and using 2g data. Great.
Now however I can still call and can still use data but text messages fail to send. As soon as I switch back to T mob only they are able to send.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Or am I alone?
Eph.
happens to me too on rare occasions, i think it's temporary, especially considering that the merge is a work in progress and we will only really begin to experience the benefits in early 2011.
I don't have such an issue at all, yet I'm mostly only connected to the Orange network with the Roaming symbol showing. I text 100-250 min/max daily with the same number incoming. I wonder why the difference.

That didn't last long. I've been getting the same issue all day.

My problem was my own fault. Somehow I had changed my sms centre number in messaging settings. Once fixed back to t mobile all was well again.

Curious to see what others with the Sprint SIII have encountered with this app. I love my sms/hangouts in one that I am excited about.. But I'm having some weird issues that were not present prior to the app's installation..
I'll be on WiFi and sending a photo MMS will send.. Other times it will NOT send even though WiFi is on and functioning. Instead, I have to enable mobile data. Things get weird here. The 3g/1x icon will show while the WiFi icon is showing in my status bar. WAT?
This seems to be the only issue that I've found so far. My only real gripe with it is that it does not support long SMS (yet).
What are all your thoughts on it and have you encountered the same or different problems?
So far I've loved hangouts. I do notice that on wifi, there's a slight lag when converting to mms and then changing to 4g, but I never lose connection.
Maybe try disabling SMS and then reactivating?

Have you found a way to add a widget for hangouts? That would be more better
