My girl just got a Thunderbolt.
She has sent me 5 texts. 1 came from her number. 4 came from a long strange number:
+131180090047547 (fake number, but you get the idea)
I assume this is a verizon problem, but since it's never happened before I wondered if anyone else has seen this and maybe it's a Thunderbolt specific issue?

The number is the SIM card number. Reboot the phone, should clear up.
Hey, I had the same prob. Just call vzw explain your problem, they will tell you to pull the battery, and ask for the esn # I believe. (which is behind the battery) problem should be solved. Enjoy!

Looks like reboot/batt pulling solved the problem.
XDA rocks.
if you would searched you woulda seen this was talked about a few days ago, and has already been solved.

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.

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..
I've already posted at VZW, but I figured you guys at XDA are probably smarter than they are anyway. Especially when tech support can only offer me scripted solutions like "pull the battery lulz!"
I just signed up for VZW with a brand new Thunderbolt and ported my number from Tmobile. Now sometimes all the sudden people I text report that the sender's number was something crazy like +120837598139485. They cant respond to it, and only once they figure out it's me do they go into their address books and start responding using my actual phone number. They can send to me just fine, and sometimes when I reply it looks like it came from the right number. But other times they get this. One of them uses Tmo and the other is another VZW customer, and they both get the same result at times.
So what gives? Anyone ever heard of sending txt messages from a totally random number like this?
I had the same thing happen to me. I bought a used Thunderbolt, and once i activated it with the new sim card people told me i was sending them texts from a 15 digit number.
It only lasted for a few hours for me, and now everything is running as normal.
Its your sim card number. A simple reboot should fix it, if not, pull the battery and it will fix it

I believe that VZW gave you a temp number. It happened to my sister who also had a 15 digit number. Actually the temp number is gonna cost you alot! Call Verizon and let them know that you got a temp number and would like your old number immediately

What a surprise, approx. 50% calls received are total failure and shame at the same time.
The other party cannot hear me at all (!!!).
I can hear the other party well and clear so it's not "out of range" problem IMO.
Brand new device, 6 days of usage, the newest ROM.
Anybody else?
Returned the device, back to my almost-perfect SGS2
I'm not beta tester anymore, it was the worst phone purchase ever.
Good luck with your Titans, enjoy them if you can and good bye!
I'm having the same problem, my rom version is 1.08.
I think I will call HTC support, I like the titan and I want to keep the phone
Iosu
Good luck then, they should fix it asap. Hopefully it's not hardware problem and new Rom will fix it.

You got a faulty phone. My Titan is working perfect. These things happen and every phone manutacturer has returned phones. In fact Android phones are the most returned at 14%.
i had the same problem when i recived my Titan, but i called my carrier and found out my sim card was 8 years old, so i got a brand new sim card and now all my calls can be heard from the caller maybe wp7 is tuchy to old sim card?
I have the same problem sometimes, only the other way around.. I call someone and they answear the phone but the phone is totally silent.. can't hear nothing! After almost one month of using Titan I've suffered from some really stupid bugs..
I have the same Problems, HTC Titan Provider O2 Germany. I bought the device on friday. Sometimes peole can´t hear me at the first time.
When they call again they can hear me.
Sent an Email to the HTC Support.
Do you think they can solve this problem with an Update?
And those who having this Problems are you covering the noise cancellation mic on the back of the Titan???

I've got a new SIM card (<1 year old) - so it's not the reason why...
I've also experienced this problem with 2 new unbranded Titans. I hope it will be fixed soon. I think its not a hardware failure.

HTC wrote me i should do a reset.
If this doesn´t help i should send my Titan to HTCs repair center.
Let us know how you get on with that reset. I'm experiencing the same problem, when a call is answered sound emits from the speaker from the caller for a split second, when this usually occurs, the caller is unable to hear me. I hope a radio flash can fix this

That's a typical solve-it-all answer callcenter agents give in order to get rid of the problem quickly. It will most probably not change anything regrading your issue unfortunately.

Did you have problems before???
Thanks!
I upgraded my Dad to a One X a few weeks ago. Today he tells me about some sim message and then he said he couldn't make calls anymore.
Sure enough the home screen says the PUK Code is locked. Att tries to tell me that i can happen due to a variety of things yet they can't explain what these variety of things are so I tell the cs person to send me to tech support.
In the mean time I pop the sim out, replace it and restart the phone. Looks like he's back in business.
The tech support guy was kind of a **** and suggesting that my dad might have tried putting a tmobile sim or something in. My dad doesn't even know what a sim card is nor does he have the tool to do this.
Did ATT just improperly seat the sim when they shipped it to us? What else causes this?
I saw this problem before when buying phones off of ebay. (Unlocked / rooted)

This comes from someone trying to change the sim password which is not for the user to change. You can get the code from the website or from a tech that knows what he is talking about. I saw it often when I worked for them.
Wayne Tech S-III
I understand it comes from someone entering the wrong code. We're dealing with my dad here. Has no idea WTF this code is in the first place, obviously didn't see or understand the error and just wanted to dial someones number.
This just shouldn't happen.
Today he had no service again because it said the sim was missing. Going to return this phone.
It's a bummer because I know generally its a good device, friend has one with no problebs. But if my dad is going get frustrated (and rightly so) every day because the damn sim keeps coming loose, I don't' have the patience to deal with that.

Instead of starting a new thread I'll try here. I'm having problems of not receiving just sms messages from time to time. At least two friends now have text me and said they didn't get replies from me when they text me. That being cause I never got them. Anyone else have this? Any ideas?

Did you have an iphone before this, or have you put your sim card in an iphone? I know that there is a problem where imessage can kick in and cause problems. Also ask your friends if they have iphones and if they do, then have them go into message settings and make sure they have the toggle "use sms when imessage not available" clicked.
I have a spare iphone 4s and I put the sim from my old galaxy s3 in it and it caused a world of hurt on my texts. I had to go in and turn off imessage on the iphone even though I had removed the sim and never put it back. Hope this helps.
One of them has a iphone the other doesn't. AT&T had me turn off my imessage when I got this phone. It just started out if the blue. Pretty much just the last two days. Didn't know if it was because I don't ever delete any old messages or well anything. Lol. Very frustrating though. Lol.

For those having trouble, let me post my experience so that it may help someone. I'm a corporate client, my law firm has about twelve phones under the account. Since this is a family firm, we steal each others upgrades all the time, usually someone is breaking their phone and not due an upgrade, so they take someone else's. So when I upgraded, even though I was eligible, my uncle had nabbed my upgrade back in october. So I, in turn, grabbed my cousin's upgrade. The problem here is that I am the only android user. Somehow att screwed up our account when I upgraded and suddenly I couldn't get texts from the people in my office on iphones. Eventually our I.T. guy called att and straightened it out. I say all that to say that if you haven't modded your apn, sms app, or anything else and are having issues, it is most likely on att.
Have you gone into settings within messages and then mms settings and checked auto-retrieve and set max message size to 1000k?

I'm having same issue as OP. Will receive small blank box messages. Clicking on it opens a blank slideshow instead of a picture. Saving the attachment just saves a blank image. From the same sender, sometimes pictures go through, other times they arrive blank. This is from an android user. I didn't have this issue on my previous phone.
MMS set to auto retrieve and 1000K limit.
Having the same issue as well, ever since the M7. It mainly happens from a couple people who both use iPhones.
Hate jumping on the bandwagon, but I'm having this issue too, and mostly from iPhone users, but not all iPhone users. It's really strange. Sometimes saving the image works, other times it doesn't.
I had it too... I called HTC... They walked me through the expected steps and after a few tries, airplane mode, turned off Wi-Fi, removed and reinstalled Sim card... Restarted phone... Finally worked now... I can get the pics from my husband's iPhone now

I am having the same issue as the OP but the person sending is not an iPhone user, rather another person on a HTC m8. Only difference from me is he is on Sprint and I'm Att. I can send to him with no issues, he can't send to me unless he crops the shots. Also, he has never had an iPhone. He also can send to others with no problems. I'm the only person he knows with the M8.
Ive had this happen with people on verizon,cricket(sprint third party)....not sure why it happens,maybe when switching across networks something screws up, when an mms pic comes through like that and there is indeed a picture, you can click on the little box and will be given an option to save the picture and it will save to your downloads folder.It is only random but only happens from people on cdma carrier networks sending to me,which leads me to believe its partly a network issue as well as a phone issue possibly.
Any fix for this yet?
