Starting about 3-4 weeks ago, I noticed I haven't been receiving any SMS messages (web-to-phone, phone-to-phone or voice mail). I can send messages, however I do not receive them.
I called T-Mobile and they "reset" the SMS account with no avail (still open ticket).
I checked the processes and "smsreceive.exe" is running as a process.
Any recommendations? :roll:
Thanks in advance!

Try another SIM on your device or try your SIM on a normal phone
It might be a barring problem on your SIM

There is a certain backup program that has this bug, it knackers your abil;ity to receive sms if you have backed up and restored your sms folder. Do a search on "sms backup".
Yeah, and the program is called Sprate Backup. There was a thread about it not long ago, just search for it.
It's supposed to be Sprite backup, not Sprate
I've got a strange issue. I can not receive SMS. If I do a hard reset, SMS works fine. But, after I restore my settings from Sprite's restore, I stop receiving sms.
I am *not* restoring the registry, just my normal databases, My Documents, and my inbox.
Any ideas?
My next try is to not restore my inbox . . . wish me luck.

did you just upgrade to 2003se ?
if you did, your sms change to messaging. (accounts - text message)
mate,
what do mean by "gone"? the messages are all gone or you canna send sms messages? if it's the lattter; this may have happened if you made a hard reset or upgraded the rom. you might want to try resending the sms profile to your network. try:
settings>phone>services>click on voice mail and sms>press "get settings">wait for a few seconds>enter your sms service center (this is normally your phone number but add the country code)>enter your voice mail number/carrier> press ok to load> press ok to exit
hope that helps
cheers
Yup,
Had hard resetting issues with mine, and sometimes, after a hard reset, it wouldn't come back. I figured it happened when either simm was not in, or I stopped some of the automatic file from reloading after the hard reset. Basically, back it up, then hard reset it w/ Simm and it will come back.
Hello,
I am using an unlocked TG01 from Orange (UK) on Rogers in Canada (GMT -5), using the official 6.5 ROM. CE OS 5.2.21840 (Build 21840.5.0.60)
My SMS messages recieved are logged 5 hours behind current time. My SMS messages sent are logged at the current time. My suspicion is that it has to do with the origin of the phone, from the UK.
I have searched xda forums and modaco forums, microsoft, and google.
I have total commander, and have modified the registry in a few was, as described below:
I have added the TrustTimeZoneField field dword (in HKLM\System\Phone Settings\OEM ... or whatever it was.)
I have modifed HKLM\Time Zones to include Eastern Standard Time with the proper TZI file.
I have tried to set the timezone to another setting (like GMT -3) reset the phone, and then change it back, and it doesn't not work.
I have download a cab file that was supposed to fix it too.
I am looking for any other ideas, please, and thanks.
Also, My Voice Mail indicator does not come on when I get a VM, but comes on and stays on when I clear the VM. I get the blank text messages from the system in with my normal texts, that are sent to indicate VM has been cleared
i've been using HushSMS to clear my VM indicator, so if anyone knows how to make this work properly, that'd be great.

Anyone have the sms time issue on this device?
Have you changed the time zone in the clock settings??
On my phone (UK Orange, using O2 UK sim card) when I have my time set incorrectly, the txt message times are correct!

Yeah, I've tried that. There's an inconsistency between sent SMS and received SMS of 5 hours. I've tested it by sending myself a text message, and I recieve it 5 hours before I send it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe your phone time travels!?
Have you tried a hard reset? (Master Clear) Also the SMS times are received from the network operators, might help to call them?
Hey, thanks for the response Big K.
I'm trying to avoid the master reset.. it's about the only option I haven't tried. Technically it shouldn't make a difference, but .. i know how that works with Windows.
I did call the network and they were useless (surprise!)

Do a full backup of your phone using software like SPB backup, then perform a master rest, see if it works. If it doesn't, then you can simply restore EVERYTHING back
There is a setting somewhere to use network time etc, maybe this is activated in yours?
Seems like the only choice at this point.
I'll probably do it this weekend.
I have no idea where those network time settings are that you're talking about, and google didn't help at all either. Thanks for your assistance.

Did a hard reset, still no good.
Used Sprite Backup to restore all applications.
Think it could possibly be an app problem? I doubt it, but i guess i should have tested the SMS issue before restoring the apps. Will do another hard reset in the next day or two and keep updated.
Yes, that is what I meant......test the SMS out BEFORE restoring lol
Otherwise when restored, all registry settings etc go back to where it was! lol
If the hard reset does fix it, only restore your user files, such as txt messages, files etc. NOT program files etc and then test. Install a few apps and test. Few more apps and test etc!
Yah, that was silly on my part.
I will retest and repost. I have 2 days off, tomorrow and the next.
I'll let you know.
Ok, so i hard reset the phone today.
Set the time to GMT-5 EST. SPB Mobile shell 3.0.1 Build 136621 is hard coded with the Rom, by the way.
So, i sent a test message. Time sent 17:02, Recieved 12:02
I reset the time to visiting GMT-8 Pacific, reset the phone.
So, i sent a test message. Time sent 14:06 Recieved 09:05
Thoughts? Should i hard reset and try setting it to a different time?
If so, what time?
So I tried setting the time to GMT +2 after a heard reset, and the time was 2 hours behind on SMS messages.
I then set the time to GMT-5 (EST) and it went back to it's normal 5 hours behind.
When I set the time to London (GMT0) it comes in 7 hours ahead.
I'm officially confused.
Now i've hard reset and set it to GMT0 and it is in synch, sent and received.
If i then go into time settings and change it to GMT-5, it still works, in synch.
Ifi change the time to the proper time after changing it to GMT-5, then it doesnt work.. it is 5 hours behind on received texts..
My solution then: hard reset, set it to GMT, but set the time to 5 hours behind GMT... that should work.
What do you mean by,
SPB Mobile shell 3.0.1 Build 136621 is hard coded with the Rom
As the 4 TG01's I have had from Orange UK have never came with any SPB software
Do this.
Hard reset. DO NOT install anything or have the memory card inserted. Have someone send a txt message and see what time it is, don't even bother changing the time as the txts should have their own time.
This is what I did in post #12.
I hard reset - set the time, timezone and date during setup
As soon as it loaded, i sent myself an SMS.
The only way the time is correct is if I leave it on GMT0, set the time to current local time which is EST, but leave the timezone on GMT0.
If I do that, then the SMS sent and recieved times are the same.
I can't leave it like that of course, my comp corrects it on sych, and all my appointments are off by 5 hours.
and SPB mobile shell IS hard coded mate. See post in ROM Development:

I'm getting the same problem too and I'm on Rogers as well.
I bought my hTC TD2 (topaz) in Taiwan but I'm using custom ROMs.
So far, from all the ROMs I've used (custom and official), all received SMS are 5 hrs late but the sent time was correct.
However, if the SMS was sent from Taiwan, the received time is correct!
My cousin's hTC Magic is experiencing the same problem too, so i guess it's Roger's problem.
The SMS are following the network's time (which is set to EST regardless of where you received them).
You might wanna call Rogers to see if they have solutions to this (yeah... it's getting annoyed to see incorrect time when you are having a SMS convo.... sent time are 5 hrs ahead of received time )
Guys If its work with time zone 0 set it in time zone 0. I mean universal time you have 3 different chose one and that is it.
If i set it to timezone0 then every time my computer synch's with my PC it changes it to GMT-5
Plus, all my appointments will be off.
Guys, I found the solution to this problem
Like I said before, the phone is reading the time from the network's tower (for Rogers users, it's EST regardless of where you are in Canada)
Now, if you go and find a cab file called "Ziggy2016Fix.cab", it'll fix up the problem.
That cab file was used to fix a known SMS problem which is constantly showing year 2016 as the SMS received time, however it can also fix the time delay problem
It worked on my phone, let me know if yours work too.
Recently wiped and started from scratch on Warmrom due to a messed up backup and suddenly I'm unable to send or receive any MMS messages.
Out of pretty much nowhere, I'm suddenly getting "Download of message unsuccessful - Generic network failure" when I try to download picture messages and "Failed to send after multiple attempts - generic network failure" when I try to send.
I haven't installed anything that would mess with my APN settings or MMS settings in general.
I've tried multiple fixes including clearing the data for my phone's MMS app as well as checking my APN settings for errors and problems with APN Backup and Restore - I couldn't find anything way out of the ordinary. I've also tried PRL and profile updates multiple times from settings.
Any ideas?
Edit: Apparently the "proxy" was stuck on from when I was on WIFI. I thought I messed with it, but apparently the settings didn't stick properly. Re-edited them and rebooted and messages are at least coming in now, but I'm still getting the generic error when I try to send or receive MMS.
Edit2: Also tried wiping MMS settings via Titanium. No go.
Edit3: Just restored a backup I made a month ago, back when my MMS messages were working. Again, no go. No freaking idea what could be going on.
update your profile manually or have sprint do it

How would I go about updating my profile manually aside from "System update > Update Profile"?
I've already used that method. Is there another way to do it that is more likely to stick? I know there's a technique involving one of the hidden setup screens, is that what you're talking about?
Edit: Called Sprint, they said they reset remotely and then told me to hit ##3282# and reset my profile. I need to install that epst.apk that allows for the process, so I'll come back here if it works.
Ok weird. No matter what I do, I can't get the data menu to come up, even with alternate EPST. No freaking idea what is going on. Hopefully whatever the sprint rep did will fix it in time.
Final edit: Figured it out. Apparently it was just a series of unfortunate events that led to me having screwed up messaging. The newest nightly of Warm seems to have a problem getting to the data screen even with the old EPST.apk, so I had to revert back to a Nandroid I made early December, reset my profile from there, and upgrade to the current version again after that to get my text messages working properly again.
