Hey, so I got my Hero yesterday and loving it. It seems that a lot of people are getting the wrong text time when receiving messages. I've looked up a few of the solutions but nothings really working yet. Anyone successfully fix it? My automatic time is off and all.
Second thing is, is there a way to change the format of the text as its displayed in a thread. This might be directly related to the text time, because right now I'm texting someone and their texts are in the 8am area and mine are at the real time (1pm). It'd be nice to have them displayed correctly as a conversation cause I have to scroll to the middle to see the new texts. Or can I turn off displaying the ones I sent?
Hopefully I'm making some sense.
Can someone please help me with my long going problem?
Intermittently, when replying to a text message (either in stock messaging or handcent, etc) the phone does not send the text message, and refuses to send for up to a minute after retrying, then the message will eventually send.
This has been happening for MONTHS, and I have had my HTC hero replaced through orange several times regarding the issue, as they had identified it as a handset fault. I then got a replacement SIM from orange aswell to try and rectify the issue, but shortly after registering my new SIM, the issue still occurs.
It seems someone in this thread has the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665932
I tried the "fix", ie. making sure all numbers were in international number format (+44...) but this made no difference.
As I said, this issue is intermittent and RANDOM, but happens around 3 times a day. It is very frustrating especially when trying to reply to a text urgently.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Before anyone asks, yes my message centre number is correct (+447973100973).
It only seems to be when replying to a text message, well that is when i notice it anyway.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
I started to get this when I rooted to VR12, it did it alot the first couple of days then didn't do it much. I've now unrooted to orange 2.1, its done it twice in a week. It didn't do it at all on 1.5, maybe a coincidence. Location doesn't matter either.
I noticed this issue. I updated to 2.1 and found im having the same problem. Its intermittent so i cant tell what is forcing it to "retry". Only noticed this since going from 1.5 ---> 2.1.
I installed Darkstone's Froyo Sense v1 and just today gave me the error. Friend of mine actually mentioned it earlier today. We tested it a few times. When I sent him an mms, I got the error, but he still got it. The little envelope icon remained on my message. Tried it again with another friend and same thing, but after 2min the message was sent.
I had the same problem.
I fixed it by entering the service number in the service-menu of the radio. DIAL *#*#4636#*#* and you will see the menu comming up. Take the upper option. Scroll down and update your servicenumber there. While you are there check if the prefferd network is " gsm auto prl" instead of "wcdma". It can save some power.
Goodluck.

Hi mcall_r
just wondering if any of these suggestions fixed your problem as I'm having the same issue. mach2005 where do you get the service number from to enter?
Me too!
Hi,
I've been having this issue too. Along with all the other bugs introduced with 2.1 it's been driving me nuts.
The issue seems to occur intermittently and with a variety of numbers. Normally I get the notification sound, a text icon with an exclamation mark in the notification bar and the text 'unable to send text message'. After a while it normally resolves itself and the message is sent however with one number, my mum's, the problem always persists.
Initially I tried checking the message centre number, ultimately I tried a master reset, without any joy. Then I got a new SIM from Orange, which still hasn't resolved the issue. I can pop the SIM into another phone and send messages to her number so it's definitely the phone.
Just today I noticed that I had an unread text from 'Anon' deep in my message thread, which apparently had come from nowhere (I have observed this before). After deleting the thread I was again able to text my mum, is this just a coincidence? Seriously pissed off with this issue but hoping it is now finally resolved. The messaging in Android/Sense seems fubar, I've also had issues with it resolving to the wrong contact when selecting 'Send message' from another contact. Anyone had these same issues in combination with the 'cannot send text message' error?
I have noticed this issue when receiving text message from a certain contact (he has a iPhone 4s, if that makes a difference). The text message comes in as a 1kb file and my atrix shows a download button within the message. I go to click download and a message pops up saying unable to download. This seems to come in with every text message that he sends me.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a probably with iPhone4s texts?
Thanks ahead of time
[Q]
I have a really weird and annoying problem with my Lumia 800.
Pretty much it starts with this:
The phone totally random powers off, it wont start until i put the charger in (even if the battery really is at 40% or more).
After that whenever I receive a text message (sms and mms) it won't be listed in the messaging conversation.
I only see the last sms I sent/got after the phone powered off, new messages is listed in the notification window, but only there. Sending new messages works, but they won't either be listed..
So I can't really read my new texts other than in the notification window that pops up when I get a new one...
Deleting all my messages doesn't solve it, restarting the phone doesn't either.
This is the second time in a month it has happened.
The only thing that seems to fix it is doing a reset of the phone.. I really don't want to have to do this again.
Please help me, I can't find anyone with the same problem on the interwebz either.
I am in the same boat, my sister gave me her lumia 800 saying her sms was not showing. I tried sending the word "test" via sms and I get the popup on her phone. I then go to messages but its not there. After looking through the phone I noticed both her date and time was wrong. Setting this agin seems to have solved the problem
Hi Guru's,
I'm getting frequent Text Msg failure notices, a pop-up saying Text Messenger has stopped, with an "OK" button that must be clicked or the screen stays locked on that pop-up. It was only happening in group texts with rapid texting between multiple people at one time, but now it's happening randomly, even when texting with individuals.
In addition to this error, there are some cases when pictures or attachments will show they're loading (downloading with the spiraling circle), yet the download never comes in and the spiral never stops spinning. I end up deleting that text to make it go away. It never attempts to reload.
In an effort to help with diagnosis, I've closed all apps when texting and I still get these errors. The only two apps open when I'm texting is the stock texting app that came with the phone - with Swift-Key ... and as stated, I'm on Verizon with a phone bought at the Verizon store.
I've done everything I know to do, except a Factory Reset.
Anyone have any helpful answers/solutions?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Gregory
Are you using the Verizon messanger? What is the specifics on that?
Not using Verizon's text app.
Mostly because Verizon keeps secondary copies even after I delete them.
Since I wrote that and having surfed every thread on similar topics, I decided the best course of action was to back up and do a Factory Reset.
It worked, but I've got issues with notification settings that I'm working through.
First-World problems. ;- )
