Hello,
I upgraded my T-Mobile USA to latest ROM and radio and somehow according to T-Mobile website I recieved like 500 incoming SMS messages which never appears on my phone but still billed on my account.
All of them are coming from some weird 4 digit number 3213 or 3208 according to T-Mobile website. I'm completely puzzled what is happening.
Anybody has any ideas?

P.S. I already called T-Mobile and they told me that they are going to investigate within 2 weeks and did not give much explanation of what is happening.
- I've just checked my account...sorry, I'm not receiving any SMS messages on huge quantities that are not appearing on my phone.

Hi,
I don't appear to receive MMS on my phone....or at least I can from some people, not others
I am on O2 pay monthly sim.
Can anyone verify the settings?
Thanks
Phil
if you can receive them at all, your settings are correct. If they were wrong, you wouldn't be able to download any!
Bet you that O2's shoddy data network is to blame. Three times in a month for the whole thing to crash? that ain't good and reminded me why i hated O2 in the first place!
Agreed...one that did not arrive has turned up.....will be O2 being flaky again!
On stock T-Mobile G2 I seem to be missing some SMS's from my wife. This has happened on at least two occasions and she has received a delivery report each time. Yesterday this happened when she was sat next to me on a train and sent me a text. In each case I had used the phone recently for text or voice and was using it for 'other things' e.g. in an app or a menu, and had signal. Anyone else noticed this?
Well, thats strange cos thats exactly what I am suffering from. two separate people apparently sent me a text which I never received them and don't know where it had gone. Just about to look at "3" help to see if there is anything there about it, but looked like I am not the only one and it isn't network related.
I have "sms popup" to notify me of any messages - I was thinking that might have broke something. do you have sms popup installed?
(using sim free hero)
The very first text I (should have) received was eaten, too. I honestly have no idea how many others are missing because I haven't talked to the people I have been texting yet.
That was before I had any apps installed at all.
Mine did the same yesterday. I have also had an hour delay on receiving a message and it didnt arrive until I sent another.
Well I have lots of apps installed but never 'SMS popup'. Problem happened again this eve- Mrs texted when I was on the tube (out of signal). She got a 'pending' and a 'delivered' report. I got squat. As she points out, texting is a core function that you need to be able to rely on. Any ideas what we can do to get this bug addressed? What ROM are people using?
Firmware version: 1.5

Come to think of it, I was texting back and forth with someone the other day and they never replied to a question (my last text to them). They are usually very reliable about replying... uh oh :/
Same thing here.. At least two texts that I'm 100% sure has been sent to me. (talked to the people later)
This is not good.
Just adding my missing texts too.
No SMS pop up installed and 100% sure they were sent.
Missed at least two!
Orange UK.
Same here. Message dissipated into the aether during the sending process. 3 (= Hutchison) Hong Kong.
My firmware shows the same labels as kiz
@ Sku11y : what does your firmware labels say? (although to be honest this seems like an HTC rather than network customisation issue)
Same issue here.
I've SMSPopup installed
I'm aware of 2 sms that didn't arrive.
When that happened, the SMSPopup window came up with an old message from a different contact.
Its happening to me too
I've got the standard unlocked version using Orange, popup sms installed but I don't thinks it's the software since reading this thread. Often I've seen an old text popup several times, I'm beginning to think these were new sms and I just haven't seen them. I text for a 241 film ticket this morning and thought I had no reply so sent the request again and Orange replied I couldn't have more than one ticket each Wed so their reply went missing.
this is looking like a phone software fault to me.
Best thing to do is to get in touch with the network to determine that it is definitly a phone fault.
Delivery reports are sent to the sender when the receiving network has received the message (auto send notification that they have received the message) and then they pipe this down their network to the recipient.
If the network are receiving the messages, but not able to send them to your phone they might be getting an error message, so should be able to shed some light on the situation.
Would be good if we know what networks everyone is on who is having a problem and whether its the unlocked version or locked to network...?
I'm on o2 with a unlocked T-Mobile G2, not having any issues that i'm aware of.
It's a bug for sure!
2 days ago i opened a ticket regarding this problem and today after a few mail i got the following answer:
Dear valued HTC customer,
We know this this issue with sms but there is no update to fix yet. You could check the web site for future hotfix.

Just seen one of the later replies too, pretty poor on HTCs part if they know about the issue but don't seem too bothered to fix it!
At least they are aware of it and not denying all knowledge!, Lets look on the bright side.
@Birba That's great news. Where did you report this to HTC?
Thanks
On www.htc.com under support.
I have also reported the problem to them, I suppose I ought to tell Orange. The trouble is I am using my o2 SIM, so there won't be a record of many texts being sent...
Unbelievable!
I can't believe HTC actually released a phone that is chewing sms messages and not done a very urgent fix by now! Thats the whole point of a mobile phone that has been doing sms for years- otherwise I might has well stick with a cheap basic nokia that can do a proper job!
On the side note, I remember with my old htc touch diamond (winmo), the sms if I was unable to receive it was stored onto the sim card when the phone becomes available. The device never did display any notification nor did it appear as "unread" - it "just" appears on the message list screen.
Perhaps thats whats happening - the sms is on the sim which android doesn't have access too?
I'm not sure of what I've done but since this morning I'm receiving an empty MMS from "unknown" sender for every sms that I get. Haven't changed any of the settings prior to that starting, notifications are disabled in the stock app (am using chomp sms). Please help, it's driving me mad..
Phone is rooted & running latest gladiatrix version.
Sent from my Motorola Olympus using XDA Premium App.
Could be the person sending to you is sending texts as a MMS. My wife used to do this with her BB and I would get 2 on my iPhone from her. Just a thought. May be the same issue.
Does it do this from everyone, or just one person?

Thanks for the reply!
No, it's from everyone, everywhere. I'm trying to back-track what I changed since last night on the phone but I haven't changed anything that could indicate causing an issue like this. The sender shows as "anonymous", when I try to dial that number it came up as 266-696-687 which isn't a valid number.
I was getting that last night and than it stopped after an hour

Getting the same, an mms before each sms?
Sorry to be a pain; the bug is very annoying.. I have now flashed everything back from 1.2.6 to 1.8.3, the bug is still there.
I used the SIM in another android phone, all works ok. Obviously something went bust on the settings of my phone.
Anyone heard of this issue or seen it?
So, issue took care of itself this morning. After spending 14hrs trying to fix it yesterday & almost throwing the damn thing out the window..
AT&T? o2 here in Germany? Some dodgy update of some sort? F**k knows..
Ok so got my phone from Phones4u a few weeks ago, downloaded quicktap app and was told by the app i needed a quicktap simcard, so phoned up orange and got one.
When i got the new simcard i registered it online to activate it with orange, then i opened the quicktap app and got half way through the registration and left it.
Then last week i had my number ported from 3 to this quicktap simcard and i went back into the activation and got an error about the simcard number and mobile number not matching, so i phoned up Barclaycard who changed the mobile number registered to the one i had ported and i could go right through the process now.
I go right through the registration thing until i get to the bit where it says it will send me an activation message within 30mins which is where the problem is, i never receive the activation message. Barclaycard say this is due to me not getting the phone direct from orange and apparantly i need a special model of the orange sgs3 handset, i spoke to orange and they said no it's just the firmware, so i have installed the correct orange branded firmware but still no activation message.
Anyone else had this problem? Barclaycard said i can't port my number to the sim i need to request one from orange with that number already on the sim but Orange are telling me that's not the problem and they won't send me another quicktap sim as i shouldn't have received the first one because i didn't get the phone from them. But according to Orange Level 2 tech support i have everything required for it to work, it just doesn't appear to be working.
