HTC Desire :: Problem Receiving SMSs
May 19, 2010
I'm having an issue with my HTC Desire on O2 UK, and receiving texts. I found that they weren't coming through, and then suddenly popping through in batches. I thought it was perhaps because I'd been using a task killer on the app, but I've now stopped doing this, and still have the same problem.
I did realise though, that this tends to happen in the morning, and with texts from the night before (say from 10pm and later). Two times this week, texts sent about midnight have popped up at 9am (just after I exit the tube). Is there some setting I've got enabled that stops them coming through at night? Or is this just coincidence?

I've recently installed Handcent SMS on my Desire and now find I get two notifications when SMSs arrived. The first from the phone's standard message app and another from Handcent. Does anyone know how to turn off the notification for the phone's app?

I am writing a Security-oriented application for Android that is supposed to detect abuse of SMS sending.
In my work I encountered the problem of not being able to detect outgoing SMSs sent not through the use of conventional applications, i.e. merely by using SMS Manager's sendTextSMS method.
The conventional SMS applications add the contents of the sent SMS to the SMS Provider after they send it but I can assume that malicious applications will not do that... and neither will they provide the pending intents to the sendTextSMS method to be broadcast upon sending/ delivery.
My question is, is there any way I can detect the sending of the SMS without relying on the SMS provider?

IM is automatically loaded when I start my phone. I don't use it, but don't see a way to uninstall or shut that off.
Also, I occssionally get these odd sms messages. I looked one up on the web and it said it had to do with IM. How can I stop all this IM stuff?

I have this really weird problem and I'm burning to find out whether anyone else had it. Sometimes SMSs get sent twice! I don't think it is because I have accidentally added the recipient's number to the number field twice.

Recently installed the Custom ROM and used BackupPro to remember my SMSs. Upon restore they were put on my SIM card instead of phone memory. Any way to move these all back over together?

I'm using ChompSMS and was wondering if it was possible to have the sender's name appear somewhere on the lock screen, when an SMS is received? I notice that the native messaging app has the sender's name below the unlock bar on the lock screen, but using Handcent or ChompSMS seems to get rid of this.

I use Handcent SMS on my HTC Hero. I have also recently updated to Android 2.1. Recently I have received a couple of service SMS messages from different companies (bank mini-statements, adverts, etc.) which in itself is okay, but Handcent has been linking them to one of my Facebook contacts!
It only happens when I get a SMS from a non-regular phone number or a short number. Its always the same Facebook contact, but I don't have this person as a regular contact in my phone or Google contacts and their phone number is not on their FB profile!
I checked the stock messaging app to make sure it wasn't anything else and that was fine, so it's definitely a Handcent thing.

I'm using a Desire on T-Mobile UK and it seems a bit of a lottery as to whether I can send or receive MMS messages. Sometimes they are sent and received without a problem when I'm connected via WiFi, but on other occasions I have to switch to a data connection to send or retrieve MMS messages.The message I occasionally encounter is "generic network failure".

I'm having some trouble with my gmail app. Sometimes it just does not receive email. I tell it to manually refresh but still non of my new emails appear. When this problem occurs however, the app does still display the number of new emails in brackets at the top next to 'inbox'. Strange. Even stranger is the fact that sometimes this app works fine. I have done all the obvious things (restart, task killers, wi-fi check) but I am yet to find a solution. I know I could just use the HTC mail app, but I don't like it as much.

I use Handcent but I don't know how to turn off vibrate when receiving sms. I have it unchecked in the settings of the phone but not sure how to turn it off in the app itself.

i've flashed my device with a modaco rom with froyo to try it out. I've found a few bugs and found my last rom a lot better + i'm not receiving texts from abroad so i'm starting to think i may have to send the phone back to vodafone. Now i dont think vodafone have released there ROM - does any body have any idea where i can get hold of the next best thing?

I hope someone can help me with this, since searching has not yielded any help. I am overseas with my DHD and continue to receive SMS messages even though I turned data roaming off. I know I am being charged for this and now I am too afraid of turning the phone back on. I just want to use it for wireless and downloading some new apps, without phone calls or messaging.

Until yesterday my email was working fine, now for some reason I'm receiving mail from my yahoo spam folder in addition to my normal mail. Can't say I can remember changing anything.

I keep receiving a message from one of two numbers that i don't know. They always say KEEP THIS MESSAGE and then gives a IMEI number which is always the same. I don't want to reply to it and i just delete it but it is getting annoying now. Have installed Lookout but says my phone is clean.

I've just noticed a strange problem today, when I'm browsing the web on HSDPA or 3G and a someonce calls, the call takes over and I can take it, now when I'm on GPRS the call goes to voicemail, I've had my Desire since last Thursday and I have a 7 day return to shop swap out still in place (luckily) but is it a settings thing?

I,m having trouble receiving calls over the last couple of days. When someone phones me i pick up and can hear them saying 'hello are you there' etc but they hear nothing from me?.When we eventually hang up and i phone them back it's fine.So is it a network issue(Orange) or my handset?

I know there has been various threads about the Desire and issues about connecting to 3G and receiving calls.
I have experienced a number of problems connecting to 3G even when I have full signal and there seems to be no reason why it wouldn't work as on the odd occasion it works perfectly!
I have today found another problem. I was waiting for a call from my wife when I received a text message to say I had a missed call. The phone was on my desk right next to me with a full signal and did not ring. When I finally spoke to my wife she told me it went straight to voicemail with no ring?
I now appear to have a phone that can't receive calls or connect to the internet...smartphone indeed!
I have contacted orange who can confirm they have not been made aware of this issue before...
I am reluctant to give me phone to the Carphone Warehouse as a friend put theirs in for repair and didn't see it for 2 months and when it came back it was still broken!
I still think that it i a network issue but Orange don't want to recognise the issue.

I have a problem with receiving emails. I can't get push to work so set it to check every 5 minutes. It worked for a day then stopped. I changed It to 10 minutes and it worked again but not for long. It's a hotmail account and all settings are correct Im sure.

I have the gmail widget which displays my inbox (black background) with a little mailbox in the top right. When I click on the mailbox it seems to open a whole new page in white, same emails though. Also, when I receive an email I get TWO notifications and effectively have to click on both and open the email twice to delete it. It seems the gmail inbox is duplicated?

My environment is:
1 Exchange Account - Push
1 IMAP (Gmail) - 2 hourly
1 POP (Hotmail) - Once daily
My issue is that I am receiving alerts for the same new mail repeatedly. Here's the gist:
11:50 - New mail hits my inbox.
12:00 - I receive a notification of the new email.
12:05 - I check my inbox, but choose not to open the email at this time.
14:00 - I get a notification of a 'new' email, yet on checking it's the one received at 11:50, but still haven't opened.
15:00 - Rinse and repeat. Now, I'm not sure how many times this is happening, or even if it's everytime, but there's something definitely glitchy with mail notifications.Has anybody else noticed similar behaviour? If not I may try removing/adding my accounts back in again.

so I'm a new evo owner, had the phone for about 2 weeks.Love it, it's the best.Onto the problem.When I first got my phone I was sending and recieving pics no problem.A few days later I was not able to send a pic. I thought it might be too big, but knew that the evo should reduce the size and send it.After doing some reading online, I found many people suggested downloading handcent.I did this, but still can't send or receive mms. My phone is not rooted, don't know what that would do anyway.I know there are some hardcore evo users reading these threads and I see many people have had the same problem I have, but I have not found an answer to this yet.It's not a huge deal if I can't see the picture my buddy send me of his ass, but with this phone I should be able to see it if I want to.

How can two EVO�s purchased at the same time have the most random problems?My girlfriend and I bought our EVO�s at the same time/place and both have completely different random problems.
#1) When we first got our phones we tested out a bunch of stuff including texting photos to each other. She got the ones I sent, but I didn�t receive hers. I thought it was something wrong with my phone, but after a bunch of testing, it looks like it�s hers. What makes it annoyingly weird is that I can receive texts with photos from her UNLESS she sends it in this manner: from the photo she chooses share, then the screen comes up to enter who to send it to. If she enters my name by hitting the search magnifying glass in the upper right and then chooses my name, I will not get the text. Every other way she sends it, I will receive the text. Makes zero sense as I can send her a photo text any which way from my phone and she gets it.
#2) My EVO has the 4 navigation buttons dimly lit all the time unless it�s plugged into the charger. Her phone does not. Not a huge deal, but I am concerned it is draining the battery just that much more unnecessarily.

Well I've looked at all 31 pages in this forum and search and I'm probably not searching right but I still can't find anything.We've got two EVo's on our plan and my husband just brought it to my attention that he is not receiving pictures that have texted to him. So I sent one and while I didn't receive any kind of message that it didn't go, he didn't receive it.He turned around and took a picture and sent it to me and I didn't receive it.It's probably a setting but I can't find it, can someone please direct me in the right direction

I can confirm that joe.scheidegger information about data SMS does work on device. However, the port specified on the receiver does not seem to matter.
