A Big Bug, Annoying As Hell, A Dev Might Help Me :( - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
Recently coming to this device from Xperia Z3 Compact.
I'm running M8 unlocked rooted on 4.4.4, S-On and Sense.
I've just noticed that i can't send sms larger than SMS 1, I mean whenever my sms is larger than 160 characters, and it becomes SMS 2, it can't be sent!!!
it says: "Unable to send message"
I've tried everything, flight mode and back, restart, clear data and cache for messaging, disabling all radios (GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi), and even updated my service provider number.
If it was the problem with radio, i shouldn't be able to send SMS 1, but i can do that.
Any help? I'm frustrated

Anyone's home?

Seems like i'm the one here with this damn issue
this is my 19th or 20th phone, literally NONE OF THEM has been without an issue

Wait for an update from HTC/Your carrier.

Use something like Chomp SMS. In it's settings you can tell it to split long SMS messages before sending them...

Missing Incoming SMS/Text messages

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

TEXT MESSAGE NOT SENT - constant problem

Guys, about 90% of the time when i send a text message, of any size, to anyone, i get a 'message can not be sent' notification and the phone vibrates, this happens about 2-7 times before the text message is sent, and for each time it tries to send the text again, this amount is send to the recipient, for example if it retries 7 times i will send the message 7 times - very annoying
when using the froyo rom from both paul and richardtrip i did not have this issue, although i am almost certain this was due to the stock messaging app, i even tried using handcent on the froyo which i used on the stock and on the froyo it worked perfectly too, but handcent will not work on the stock rom.
so it seems to me that it is an issue with either the stock (sense based) rom or the htc messaging app
im on tmobile UK on a branded phone, this happens on any radio, both rooted and unrooted
does anyone have any advice, or know of a way to replace the htc messaging app with the stock android messaging app?
if i could get this sorted id be very happy, so i appreciate any help
thanks in advance
I've had this issue happen a couple of times aswell, not sure how to replicate it, it seems totally random, but i haven't seen a 90% change of getting it!
try a new radio lol
This happens to me if I use any messaging system other than the default one (e.g. handcent or chomp) and the signal changes whilst sending the message (i.e. H to 3G or E to G etc. etc.)
I am still using the default rom with the latest update as I am waiting for 2.2 before rooting
turn off GRPS/EDGE/ 3G Data

Had exactly the same problem on stock/sense based verions of romms. NEver had an issue on stock android messaging app, only with the sense one. Think it must be a bug with that app. I'm T-mo in UK to but have an unbranded phone.
dont resend it, just wait until the message is sent, the phone resends automatically, because if you click the resend, it will send another message. what i do is when i get that error message i just wait.
I'm getting this problem on my o2-uk Desire; they are sending me a replacement handset

Thanks everyone for your replies
So it is confirmed that it is an issue with the HTC messaging app but not with the stock android messaging app, and no messaging clients can fix this as they use the default messaging app.
Is there anyway to change the HTC messaging app with the stock android? I prefer it anyway it works much better, the official froyo release will also contain the stock messaging app which I guess will have the same problem.
I will try flashing a different radio
Setting the phone to WCDMA only does not fix the issue
I am having this problem, and also another which I feel might be related, it tries to resend the message, and it eventually goes. I have also noticed that quite a number of times when I try to make a call, it doesnt dial, it just goes silent and returns to the call register screen. Maybe both related to a siganl problem . Somebody suggested switching off Edge or whatever, but thats not really a fix, and why should you have to do this to send a text. ?

I agree, and I also experience the same problem, sometimes during a phone call the most strange sounds happen and then the call cuts out, I'm guessing is interference. Problems with calls, text messages, and the connection repeatedly drops when using the mobile internet, exactly the same problems as the hd2, they will not get fixed by HTC, speaking from experience.. very basic requirements of a phone still not being met
I have the exact same issue with both texts and calls that seem to take ages to connect and then just dump me back to the dialer. I've put it down to O2 being so awful but of people have the same issues on other networks id love to know

I get it off and on, but I let it be and the messages eventually get sent out.

Same here. I did the resending thing for a while, but now I just ignore those error notifications. The text messages arrive anyway

same. I get it 10% of the time. On a unlocked Desire with a UK T-Mobile contract. just leave it to send a couple times, put your desire on a window sill and it should be okay.
but i think the message is not automatically sent if you lock the phone. can anyone confirm this? my unsent message was still not sent when i locked my phone.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, i used to get this issue all of the time when using handcent or chomp. However, since doing the following i've not had it happen once in 2 weeks (where it would happen 10+ times a day before)
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

Extremely Wierd SMS issue

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.

Yep, forgot to mention have used both 5.09.05.30 and 5.10.05.30 with the same results. She has no problem texting me (hero with cm 6 froyo), nor does her friend texting her (stock 2.2 desire)

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?

[Q] Not recieving Texts! please help...

How to fix SMS recieving on HTC One m8 (T-mobile)?
Hello all, I am having an issue receiving regular text messages on my m8. It is particularily the longer messages, but not to the point where they have become MMS. Here's what has been done so far! I have...cleared my message threads, cleared the cashe, did a soft reset of the phone, did a master reset of the phone, now I have a replacement phone and it still isn't working, I've done a master reset of the replacement phone, and I have gotten a new SIM card.
I am still not receiving a lot, probably 75% of my messages.
Other notes: my old imessage is deactivated. My number is no longer associated with Apple. It is from all sorts of numbers. Not just a single person. They are using different phones on different networks.
PLEASE HELP!

From what you wrote, my opinion is its probably not your phone but a network issue. Either iMessages is still hampering things OR TMOs got a network issue delivering messages to you.
But if you came from an iPhone then go back to iMessages being an issue..
When did you go from iPhone to HTC?
give us some background on that.
Are you getting "null" at the end of your messages received?

[Q] Text message deleted as soon as it is received (HTC M8 Dual Sim)

Hi all,
I have an HTC Dual-Sim (China version) running Lollipop 5.02 4.25.1401.6, rooted and TWRP; and have been using it quite flawlessly since I brought it.
Since the 28th, I have not been able to receive any text messages on both sims, though sender's phone for the text message will show as delivered and read. I can send text messages no problem though.
So I did a few tests, a full reset or changing to a different rom will resolve the issue, but after I restore data the issue will come back.
I looked at the permission manager and everytime a message is sent (from my one sim to the next), three apps will show up: messages, phone and google play services
and the phone app shows it has the permission to read, write and delete messages, cant set it as denied either.
3rd party sms apps like handcent doesnt receive anything either, the same with Hangouts.
Checked for blocked contacts but the lists are empty...it feels as if the phone gets the message but a specific app is receiving and deleting all the received messages.
Now the question is, any way of getting my phone working without having to build up my data from scratch?
It the same whether its a 4.4.4 rom, stock, 5.02. Once data is restored, I cant receive sqwat.
Not being lazy or anything but I rather not install everything from scratch, I forgot some of my credentials for some apps and some are registered on old phone numbers which I dont have anymore.
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Ok so for whoever that may run into this problem also, the issue was greenify 2.6 beta 3...
It somehow disabled the text broadcast and I dont even receive the text in the message app.
Uninstalling it doesnt remedy the issue, had to install 2.6 final, install xposed for lollipop and enable all the options I did before the issue occurred and now I can receive text messages again.
