the symbols work onyl if the reciving phone uses the same symbols and for the notification light ...the htc 8s has one but it shows only your battery status when you charge your phone..maybe this will change with updates from microsoft

Missing SMS / text messages

Hello,
I've suspected for a while(and confirmed with friends) that relatively often, my sms don't get to them. It's shown as sent in my phone and in the sms threads, but they simply don't recieve them.
So I tested it out with another phone, sending 5 sms' to the other phone and it only recieved the first one. the other 4 never got there... Now could this be some sort of anti spam causing it? - I did send them in rapid succession. However when I send messages from the OTHER phone to me, regardless of how quick, I get them all. And we're on the same network/provider so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
During regular use, even SMS' sent with lots of time inbetween gets lost occassionally.
I've never had this problems with my old phone so does anyone else have a clue why this is happening? As you can imagine, it's frustrating thinking someone has gotten a message but it never reached there.
Thank you.

Hey thanks for the reply, I saw that but doubt that's the same problem.. I usually list most of my numbers with +, and it shows the message is "sent". If it was the same problem as the link above, I guess it would b epossible to reproduce it everytime but mine is seemingly more random.
The specific number I tested it on was a number WITHOUT the +areacode, and even that produced 1/5 messages recieved by the other party.
Any other ideas?
I had that problem before with my touchPro. All I did was hard reset the phone, active sync my contacts and I sent out text messages. Everything worked fine after that.

Also checked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4016381&postcount=31 ? see if the number is still correct in windows mobile?
Also try to sent from the windows interface a couple of times (in the textmessage touchflo tab touch the new sms icon in the above right corner.) see if it does better then.

God you know what, you're right. Thanks. I did look through the WM sent folder before but not far down enough..
It does seem to drop the + after the first SMS then not reapply the + until I get a reply.
Annoyingly my phone still tells me "Message Sent" instead of invalid number though, so there's no way to tell if it sent the message without going to check the sent folder I assume?
Doesn't seem like there's a fix or even a confirmed cause for this yet?
I'm having a strange reversed problem: all SMS I send are regularly delivered, but I "miss" many incoming ones. the strage thing is that it happens (AFAIK) only with my girlfriend's ones!! nobody else still complained about me not anwering, so that should mean I received and answered all other mesages.
Please note that we have the same mobile operator (Vodafone Italy)
today she tried her SIM with her bro's phone, and guess what, the problem is still here BUT the difference is in lost messages: 4 out of five lost with her Moto v9, 2 out of 6 lost with her bro's nokia. that sounds really weird to me.
where do you think the problem might be? mine/her SIM, or phone?
I'll call Vodafone Italy later, but their assistance and support is really awful, they do not even know what they are talking about, and reply with the same pre-confectioned anwers every time.

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

Do you happen to use PIM backup?

i am sure this is a bug, i use now the windows mobile messaging module and its flawless.
HTC YOU HAVE A BUG!!!
(please fix it )

Getting blank anonymous texts

Anyone any ideas? They also tend to reappear when phone is restarted even after deletion.
-------------------------------------
Sent from my HTC Desire
Dude, Im getting the same sms. and Im with orange Uk too! but no idea what it can be
me too, am on orange as well
when i click on the message, it is blank. though the icon on the top looks like a sim card!
don't think its an update! very strange
me too and im on orange and i flashed the rom using gold card method...
anyone got any ideas?
on another note... first post woo woo !
I get that on orange 2, the sim card icon means the message is saved on the simcard
yep I get the same message after every reboot
I just delete it afterwards
Apparently it's voicemail related. From what I've seen this does appear to be the case.
Yeah, I recon so too, now it's been pointed out. I had one the other day when I had a voicemail waiting, not before or since though.
Anyway to stop them .. they are not stopping me doing anything .. but they are bugging me .. why only on the desire??
As posted in the themes forum:
I had this for a while (also on Orange, stock ROM) and did manage to get rid of it - problem is I can't remember exactly what I did as fiddling around so much!
I think it had something to do with a missed call or voicemail message. Try deleting an entry (or entries) from the call history with a similar time stamp to the sms message.
Otherwise, using the built in message app (not handcent etc) press Menu - Settings - Manage SIM card messages and delete from there.
One of these methods sorted it out for me but this was weeks ago...
not just the desire
I've an HTC Hero on Orange and have been getting these since I upgraded it to 2.1.
For those of you on Orange, this is due to the the way Orange update the voicemail icon.
I wrote a simple application to automatically delete the message from the SIM when it arrived, thus preventing it showing up to the user.
If you are not on Orange, I don't know!

Strange notification symbol - related to texts disabled

hi guys,
Something strange happened to my Desire on Sunday and it has caused a few issues for me since.
The attahced pic shows a symbol in the notification bar that looks like a fence.
(I cannot attach the screen shot as i have not made enough posts but PM me if u wish to see the symbol and i can show u it)
Since this symbol has appeared all my texts have dissapeared and i am unable to send or receive texts.
Also when i go into my dialler my call history has cleared and when i try to using the quick input method of finding a contact (eg 3-2-3 for DAD) no contacts come up.
The phone does work to make calls but it can only be done by going into contacts and sleecting the number from there.
Anyone ever come across this before and know how to resolve it?
BTW i am using MIUI rom
TIA
Ok symbols will probably be different in a standard ROM but here is a list of what they are and what they mean http://htcdesireportal.com/htc-desire-android-notification-and-phone-icons/
SOunds like you are refering to the notification for SIM2 features. Possible sim fault. Call your telco and ask them to check you Bearer services for incoming and outgoing text and also to check your diameter router settings.
Sounds like Visitor Mode. Press Power Button and Disable.
Basically Semi locks down the phone if people want a look but you don't want them Using it for Calls/Texts/Other stuff.

1. Yes, they have different codes.
2. HTC 8S, 8X doesn't have a led flashing for sms. Only for battery charging.
