Huge problem - I don't receive all SMS, just some of them - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hi!
I'm subscribed to weather forecast that comes in 3 text (SMS) messages every evening @ 10 PM.
When I swiched from wizzard to hermes, I noticed, that I got only one or two messages instead of 3 every night. I thought there has to be a problem with the device, so I changed it.
== BUT==
Now I have a brand new Hermes - and with the same problem!!! It just looses SMS messages. Several people have been complaining to me that they sent me SMS which I did not receive.
What would be the problem?
the first hermes ran WM6 black 3.01 with 1.41 radio and the second one runs WM6 black dymond with 1.40 radio. The only common thing is that both devices were treated with Oli's HardSPL 7.
p.s. when I put my SIM card into a nokia, I receive all 3 messages as normal.
PLEASE HELP!!!

I dunno if this will help at all but...
...try going into start>settings>phone>services(tab)
click on 'voice mail and messages' then tap the 'get settings' button.
It should get the SMS and voicemail numbers from the network.
Might help...but its a long shot.

That actually helped me in the past. For some odd reason my SMS's would get stuck in the outbox and not send, so upon advice like above, I clicked "get settings", and all was well. It hasn't happened in a long while, but it was solved by doing that.

it actually may be your sim card similar thing happened to me got a new sim card fixed it.

I had a very similar problem with normal ssmes not coming thru and smses being held in the outbox. The problem started when I changed to an AKU3 Rom. The old South African 1.35 Rom worked perfectly but as soon as I changed to their new AKU3 the sms problem started. I had also upgraded my Radio to the 1.41 Rom.
How I solved the problem was I got my sim card replaced (which I found didn't solve the problem). I then only installed the apps I really needed and didn't upgrade the Radio.
For the past 2 weeks I haven't had any problems, so maybe try hard reset your phone, and start by only running it as standard and see what happens, also maybe try downgrade your radio.

Ensure the you have a message centre assigned in the phone settings. If you cannot get it automatically, call your operator and enter it manually.

Hi rebel I have noticed the same problem...but it is regarding the SMS and MMS...so could be some operator incompatibility or sth...will try the"get operator settings" thing...but I think this won`t solve our problem, cause not receiving all SMS/MMS it is a thing...but not receiving just some SMS/MMS is another problem...

Hello to all!
I tried "get operator settings" and will report if there will be any progress. But I doubt, because if settings were wrong, than I wouldn't receive any text messages. But I can receive SMS, just not all of them.
It just makes me crazy.
@PC78: we're both using same network (Mobitel Slovenia). If you had exactly the same problem, than I guess it has to be some incompatibility between hermes and operator? I will contact them and ask for explanation.
In the meantime, I will flash my hermes to some old ROM with stoneaged Radio (1.03 or something). Let's see what happens ...
Greetings,
Robert

I have the same problem, could it be the HardSPL?

gh0st, where are you from? Till now, only users of Mobitel Slovenia reported this problem.
I don't know if it's hard SPL. But it's possible. Can it be removed from the device? I'm willing to try. But I need some instructions on how to remove it and bring the device back to the "factory" state.
regards,
Robert

...Hard-SPL?...what have the Hard-SPL to do with SMS/MMS?...I think it could be only an OS/Radio ROM problem or operator incompatibility but not Hard-SPL...
Regards,
Primoz

same problem here...
delayed texts and no sms recieved...
i found out that even i have signal on my cel, im out of coverage when contacted.. but this is intermittent
there are times its ok.. then not.. then ok..
this happens only when i upgraded my dopod 838 pro
thats why i ask experts here on other thread how can i roll back the original
setting of my cel.. specially the radio..
im from asia region... can anybody help me too..
i upgraded to 1.40 radio which i think suited only for cingular network or other else...
Hard spl olipro 2.10 etc...

I had problems with SMS wneh using Black 3.0, using LVSW (latest) now and have no problems.

I suggest you try using one of the LVSW roms instead of Black - try Elf's or Sleuth's variants as they are the most complete.
Also, the most popular shipping "new" radio out there is 1.38.00.10. Try that radio as well.

Hello guys,
A bad news, really.
It's confirmed: Hermes has some serious compatibility issues with certain mobile operators (networks).
I contacted a company that imports and repairs HTC devices in Slovenia. Technician told me that they are aware of the problem and are solving this "missing SMS" issue together with carrier (Mobitel) and manufacturer (HTC).
They didn't yet solve it, though.
This technician also told me that this problem is ROM-independent, so it does not matter if I'm using june 2006 stoneaged ROM with 1.03 radio or newest cooked WM6.
Greetings,
Robert

go into start >> settings >>> phone >>>services >>> click on voice mail & text messages and click on get settings
it will show you your settings for text message service center. Make sure there is a "+" sign before the number. for example + 1 (312) 314-9810 >>> this number is for cingular message center anyways "+" sign should solve the problem
cheers

thesame problems with sending sms or replaying and reciving.
even on orginal Era's ROM
Sometimes everything is perfect but when I tap replay, sms stucks in outbox.
Or sometimes when just wanted to write new sms.
Only SR helps.
my operator: Poland - Era gsm

Thanks for the replay Rebel...so my concern was [email protected] incompatibility problems...doooh...

I have had my hermes for only 1 week on T-mobile uk PAYG. Everthing works cool, but I have had a couple of calls from people why didnt you respond to "x" text message. they just did not ever come through at my end.
Guess this is the price to pay for having everything bar the kitchen sink in your pocket.

I can comfirm that I had this problem on Black Dymond (3.5) with certain type of sms.
with elf 2.1 crackberry all works well.
So it Is rom dependant.

p.s radio 1.40

caller id on missed calls

I have noticed on my xda iis that when i miss a call, even if i is from someone in my contacts, the missed call list only has the number, not the ID of the contact.
this is annoying, as i have to think 'hmm, who is 0409111222 again??'
has anyone found a solution to this? or possibly better still, a different 'missed call' program?
It works on mine.
I did find names not showing once, and found it was because I saved first/last name in the 'Last' field of Contacts. When I moved both first/last names into 'First' it solved it.

The iMate website lists this as a known problem which is resolved in their latest release of ROM firmware. Us IIs people just have to wait patiently for our update from O2!

I have to say again. My UK device doesn't have this problem.

I had this problem as well on my T-Mobile MDA III after upping the rom from 1.06.01 to 1.22.01 GER. It took me 24 hours of "suckin balls" to resolve this problem. I finally found the problem, and it was a program called Omega 1-pass. After I removed it, this problem disappeared.

SMS not coming thru

hi there, just noticed the last 2 days i am not receiving any sms at all???? with O2 ireland. does anyone know what it could be????? Thx
to mine happens sometimes...
then i do a softreset and i can receive sms again...
SMS not coming through
I am experiencing the same problem for some time now -
see my post "receiving only some SMS"
It is not SW related - happens on a freshly Hard Reset XDA -
i have upgraded the Rom - which made no difference
I have handed it in to O2 for repair twice - no difference
they have now agreed to exchange it
pattern is at follows
if the XDA is off (not the phone in flight mode) and the signal is weak - it will switch on on receiving the text but loose the network, re- aquire but no SMS notification will be there and no SMS - the sender will get a delivery message. Interesting - if you send two SMS consecutively (before it can switch off again) ONLY the second SMS will be received.
Worryingly there are quite a few posts here that describe that problem but no solution which makes me wonder if this is a general bug of the XDA

to be honest i'd say this is not phone related. i'm in england on O2 UK on contract, and a number of my friends are on O2 both PAYG and contract, we often have difficulties in not receiving messages, mostly between each other (i.e. other o2 phones) and occasionally other networks, messages do not comes through at all or sometimes hours late.
this seems largely to do with o2 PAYG more than anything tho.
sorry to correct you -
this is not related to O2 - on a different phone I receive ALL text messages -
in the XDA the failure is network independant - not receiving messages on pay as you go as well as on post pay sim
several posts here describing the XDA failure
point is that messages are not received on wake up of phone. Although the phone and the SMS server think they have received / delivered.
If you have a problem as well - please let O2 know about it (either via the O2 XDA support) or via their repair contractor.
What was the solution for me is that I did a hard reset, restore the backup I made with Sprite Backup. After it was finished I ran the program cleanmail.exe from Sprite ( http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=141&back=browse.aspx#p17 ).
Now I receive all sms messages!
THANKS
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!! I finally did a hard reset and upgraded sprite to 3.14. Now sms are coming thru. have also downloaded sprite clean mail so i hope in the future if i have to restore a backup the sprite download clean mail will elimate this problem. Thanks again for all your thoughts and suggestions!!!!
you are one of the "lucky ones"
where the problem was caused by Sprite backup and where a clean of the mail DB sorted it.
keep monitoring this however as in my case - (and several others) - Sprite backup is not used and hard reset does not solve the issue.
SWEET
I very frequently install trial versions on my pda before i buy the program. some are good some are bad...in any case i noticed that when I remove software from my pda a lot of debris is left behind and my pda is some what sluggish, registry....etc.... So i can only suggest to do a hard reset....and then re-install the shipping rom for your particular model. My pda is now running SWEET and is very Stable plus sms are coming thru!!!! So I am a happy man at the moment.
Not quite sure where the problem was with sprite.... I did a hard reset and did not install sprite on my pda. sms came thru. As soon as i installed sprite and did a restore my sms did not come through once again. Very simple it is two things....1 its sprite (3.14 working fine, the older version was the problem).......2 it was my config. In all honesty I did not have the time or patience to find out exactly where the problem lies (and hopefully I will not have to).
to contradict myself....it is phone related i have had the same problem to the extreme O2 replaced the phone twice and still have the same fault.
my nokia 6800 receives all msgs fine however. O2 won't accept there's a problem with the phone.

Problematic Txt Msg Requiring Resolution

I Recently took ownership of the O2 Orbit aka the Artemis.
This is a continuation of an existing contract and instructions are to place existing sim into phone and switch on whereby it will I assume perform the necessary configuration. When I done this I received a txt message from O2 informing me of the following:
O2: Sorry your handset does not support automatic settings. Please call our care team on 100 for further assistance.
So as the msg goes I called the care team. They then asked the Orbit team who informed them that the handset should be returned, as it is faulty. They will arrange the swap. Phone appeared to function okay but who am I to question why. Phone swapped and new phone up and running…I have received the same message again! Now the phone appears to be working okay so not sure what to do next. Has anyone encountered this type of error before? And if so does anyone have a solution/suggestion as to what this exactly means? Thanks JD76.
I get this Error Message every time i order a configuration SMS for my device. I dont know if you know, but on the O2 Website, you can request a text message which is supposed to setup your device for different Services, e.g. MMS or Wap...
Well everytime i ordered such an SMS, my device would not get configured, reporting the Error "Your device does not support automatic configuration" which is not that bad at all i think, because everything works just fine, without any limitations and the Settings you need for Wap or MMS or other stuff can also be found on the O2 Website and can then be set-up manually.
So if you do not feel like replacing your handset again, i would just leave it, i am not experiencing any problems (I should mention though, that i run a CID unlocked T-Mobile MDA Compact 3 with german O2 Windows Mobile 6 ROM) but i guess that makes no difference.
I had the same problem and was able to solve it by downloading this configuration .exe from HTC. Get the one that is regionally applicable to you...

Although it 'says' it is for the 3600, I used the German o2 setting without issue on my Orbit.

Unable to Send/Receive text messages

Hi guys,
Need Help...all of a sudden my hermes is unable to Send/Receive text messages...any idea?
I have suddenly got the exact same problem. Using OS Rom 6.1 cooked in Pandora, I've re-done it, re-flashed nothing seems to be fixing this problem. Texts just sit in my Outbox.
Daft as it may seem but is the phone in flight mode and you haven't spotted it?
You checked with your respective operators to see if there are any network problems (o2 in the UK had a similar problem only 2 weeks ago, confirmed first hand by me)
WB
Hi guys,
Did hard resetting on my hermes and it works, just didn't know what actually happened earlier. Anyway, thks for the help.
Frustrating!!!

I've got the same problem - but this was after I flashed with Schaps latest ROM (4.0 RC). The problem is completely intermittent. I'll try to send a message and will get the error message "text could not be sent" and the message sits in my outbox
I called T-Mobile and they said that since I am able to send messages when I take the SIM card out and into another, then it must be a problem with the phone (and there's nothing that they can do since the 8525 is not one of their phones).
I've done a hard reset and still get the same problem...
I am half a nose-hair away from flashing back to the vanilla HTC ROM.

what's the deal with "message cannot be sent" message

i must say this is very annoying , not the message but the situation itself , why the message cannot be sent why? there is reception and all ..

I've noticed on my phone that if I happen to be sending a message at the same time I'm receiving one, my outgoing message usually fails. I'm not sure why this is though.
i agree , i think there is a bug hidden in this issue..
i have many good things to say on my deviice but there has to be a good reson or solution for this , to bad HTC are not recieving our complains and check this
I had always assumed it was a carrier issue. Disconnecting and reconnecting the radio always has fixed the issue for me.
may i asked how u do that ?
my solution is softreset...
is that happen with the TF messeging ?
or the Win messeging ?
casue it happened with me in the TF thread mode
and i stoped sending from that interface till a solution come up
now i send from our old good Win messege with no problem what so even
itdid happen with in the touch flow mode ,
i will try the old known and good wm mode in order to send message , and i will keep you updated.
For me it has something to do with the numbers saved in the phone. I got them all in +49 (0xxx) 1234567 format. When calling someone the phone automatically ereases the 0 and dials +49xxx1234567 - when sending messages the 0 remains in the number and I get the error. I can erease the 0 by hand and then the message is send. After that i can reply to that person using winmo messaging without ereasing the 0...
Partial solution perhaps

Hi Marc.
Don´t know if it´s the same problem but there´s an official fix that sound´s about right here:
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=0&dl_id=625
For some obscure reason the explaining text is in french on that site, whereas everything else is in english.
Be advised however that this fix is dated july 30. 09.
There´s a ROM-upgrade dated August 8. 09. Now i can´t be absolutely sure but if I was employed in HTC maintanance, i´d include old patches in the ROM-upgrade. Your post states your ROM version to be 1.14.111.2 and the new German version is 1.19.407.1 so you might be able to solve the issue with a ROM upgrade.
I haven´t upgraded my self. Even though there´s a Danish one provided as well. I´m waiting for the stock WinMo6,5 rom. Installing bought software, contacts, backup and everything feels like too much trouble when we´re going to have to do the whole shebang all over again in a fortnight or so.
In any case the German rom can be found here:

I've also had this occur on the TP1 and the Titan, where I was using the Windows default app.

Thanks Elo, just tried it. Seems to work only on Unbranded TP2. Mine is a T-mobile Vario V, I get an error "Incorrect Device".
I will wait for WiMo6.5 as well, I guess it will be included there. And T-mobile will provide a free update for their MDAs.
what's worse - while that error message is sat in the background, until i click it i cant receive any incoming messages (actually looks like i loose them). it cost me a fortune using it abroad, this bug! what's even worse - the tp2 rom provided by mpd is an older version to what this patch fixes, hence incorrect device. waiting for htc reply
