I'm using an unlocked HTC Incredible S from Virgin on the TELUS network.
I just wanted to confirm some things. Texts have been delayed coming to my phone anywhere from 15mins - 2hrs. I called the service rep and he said it takes up to two hours for a messaged to be delivered when coming from a different provider other than Telus, but it shouldn't happen all the time.....i didn't bother speaking to him any longer cause it didn't really make too much sense as i was receiving texts immediately before i was having this issue.
i just wanted to know if anyone else has the same issue with using the unlocked IncS on TELUS.
Also, if you're not what radio did you flash? Lastly, can you flash a radio from the TELUS Desire HD forum?
Thanks for reading
Many people seem to have the same problem.
Seems like a gingerbread issue. I've tried telco ruu specific to my carrier which helped abit but it still happens.
It's so annoying i wish someone would fix it already.
I had this issue after upgrading to Gingerbread, and also several people had said they'd tried to ring me but couldn't get through. My phone never displayed any missed calls.
I was on "3805.04.03.22", I upgraded to "3805.04.03.27" the other day and it seems to have been fine since.

Aren't radios specific to regions in the world?
Where abouts are you?

UK. I don't believe the radio's are specific to a certain part of the world.
Looking at the radio thread, the .22 radio only seems to have been used in one update, whereas the .27 one seems to have been used in lots, which would seem to suggest it's maybe a more stable version to me.
Try it and see, it certainly seems to have been fine for the last couple of days for me.

Well I upgraded to 1.56.70.11 through sd card process and it said GSM Updated Sucessful, however it still shows 1.54.30.10
Havent experience any problems so far.
I have see many of your posts all over the internet at differet Palm forums regarding the crappy radio version 1.54.30.10 you are experiencing
I think you should go a head and try the upgrade and post your result to help others. Since you are having so many issues with the 1.54.30.10. After you upgrade to 1.56.70.11 if u no longer have problems then that means the radio upgrade really works even though it doesnt show under the phone version menu.

I want to install WM 6.5 on my ATT tilt 8925. I just want to know what ROM and what Radio Version I can use, because the radio version is 1.65.21.18. I live in Puerto Rico and I don't know if I change the radio he can still work.
You can use any ROM as long as you are Hard-SPL'd and regards Radio it will come down to many variables and only you will be able to find best ROM/Radio combo..

Wouldn't it be great if one could just indicate where they need the phone to work, and a list of radios could be listed for that location?
I know it is simplistic. Getting tired as I age!

Ain't that the truth, funny thing is that all of the radios I have flashed work in my area. Even the japanese one, just some better than others.
Hi
I try to unlock the phone with JumpSPL 1.56, 1.93, and 1.94, and Kaiser-HardSPL-3.56 and 3.29, and the phone don't install anything. It could be that my phone is refurbish?? What other options do I have?
I here you. Just so you know and are prepared. I have been flashing for 1 month straight and I cant get my phone to stay connected with anything other than the stock ROM. Not sure why but be prepared for a long battle. I have almost every radio available. Works for a day then dropped calls and network over and over.
I have a refurb and flash all the time. Follow instructions carefully and refer to sticky and wicki for help.

All of them work for a limited time in my area. Then after about 24-48 hours I have trouble with all.
Its frustrating!
I'm using an Incredible S. I dont receive messages sometime. It's getting delayed. Sometimes calls are droped. Any idea why ?
Thanks
Does anyone know how to fix this ?

awesomexda, where did you purchase your inc s from? what country are you currently in?
What country has the phone originated from?
This is what happened this morning.
"I just had HTC contact in regards to my **** feedback to them lol.
The lady went on to say that someone else had contacted her about the exact same issues and she told me that MobiCity should not be selling overseas phones to us because of frequency problems and so on. She said she is going to contact them directly aswell as aussie warranty to either send me an australian built one or give me a refund because of the rare situation we are in.
So it seems like it is something with the way the phones built.
I'll keep you guys updated. "
That's on android forums.
Thanks neo-X for the information !
I'm in sri lanka. It's HTC asia one. I bought it here. I think this is a major issue. most of the people who bought the phone have been experiencing issues like this. I'm disappointed with HTC becuase they said INC S is a flagship device and has no errors. But I still luv me device even though it has got problems.
Thanks people

Yeah it seems that asian sourced phones will sometimes not work properly in other countries for some reason.

No idea mate. That's all i got from them.
Here is my experience- I contacted HTC support in Singapore this week and was excited to read the email response:
"I would suggest you to go to the local service center to install the lately released patch on your Incredible S on the spot."
I rushed to the service centre, only to find out that HTC's definition of a "lately released patch" was to roll back to 2.2
At least the delayed SMS issue is now resolved!

I've tried MIUI, I like it, but it didn't really fix the problem. It seemed to make it slightly better, but I was still getting messages 10 mins late or so. I've just flashed CM7 Nightlies, but it doesn't show the time stamp of when the message was sent, only of when it was received so I can't really judge if it fixes the problem or not.

Same here, im on cm7 but can't judge it.
Here is what HTC said.
"Dear _,
Thank you for your reply.
After checking, we regret to inform you that we have been aware that the message delay is a known issue after Incredible S upgrades from Android 2.2 to 2.3 But currently our engineer is trying to finding out a workable solution for it. If there is any update or patch for the issue, we would put the information on our official webstie. And from our side, if there is any update, we will also inform you. We do apologize for any inconvenience which was brought by the phone issue.
We have to say that currently for the SMS delay issue, the only method is trying to select "GSM only" mode.
But for the **phone ringing issue**, we would suggest that you may try to put your phone in the safe mode to see whether there is improvement for the phone ringing problem.
Before you put your phone in safe mode, make sure that you have your fast boot option unchecked: Menu > Settings > Power > Make sure "Fast Boot" is unchecked.
To put the Sensation into Safe Mode, you may follow the steps 1.With the Device turned off 2.Press the power button briefly 3.keep holding the Volume down button once you see the splash screen (HTC quietly brilliant) 4. Once it loads you will see on the “Safe Mode” on the bottom left of the screen.
****, we are looking forward to your kind action and appreciate the time taken to write to us. Please feel free to contact us should you require further assistance.
Best Regards
June"
Apparently Optus kicked up a stink with HTC and made them fix this issue. There is a new Optus ROM but can't find it anywhere on here.
Hi guys!
So I have this weird issue ever since I updated to Jelly Bean.
Everything works fine after JB update, except my mobile data. I can now only get about 152kbps speed on 3g covered areas where everyone else gets 5Mbps.
I have tried a bunch of things, including flashing the JB radio firmware with the tool posted on the dev section... all to no avail. This is really bugging me!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FYI: I'm rooted, unlocked bootloader, and have flashed the FR Orange JB update.

Other people on here may know a lot more than I do on this, but there are really only two elements to this in my understanding: device capability and network offering. The middle-point is of course, reception. If you don't get those speeds, it's likely reception. Many of us on here, who like modding, imagine the most difficult option as being the problem, I'd wager that it's the simplest... (I mean that sincerely, I'm not mocking!)

Nope, but thanks for the suggestion. I've already made sure it's not reception or anything physical either. I've tried the three radio firmwares provided in the forums (C7, C9, JB) and nothing.
I think the most plausible thing is that I flashed JB from France when I'm in Mexico.... If only I could find the files from another country and flash them to check this possibility... but I just can't find the link.
Edit: I just flashed the EU retail version and that did not fix my problem. I'm despairing now :'(
Have you emailed Motorola? I have twice and they reply very quickly.

I did and also I ruled out every software and hardware issue. Finally today I resolved to calling my provider (I had avoided this because most often their service is very crappy and the reps don't know squat about what they are talking)....
....
... Turns out that for some stupid reason they had restricted my data. So I guess that's it, and now i feel stypid too hahaha
Is this something that is more prevalent on custom Roms? Because since I got my M8 Ive had no problems with missing calls or text. I was just curious before I go ahead and unlock and start flashing roms.

Your best bet is to probably read some rom threads to find out. I'm having zero issues with viper, but everyone's experience may not be the same.

Understood, however if there are issues they may be posted in their respective threads along with any fixes/updates.
But I personally believe that most of the issues you're reading about may be network or hardware related, but that's just my opinion.
I myself am luckily in a market that has strengthened the network early on, we were a second round market that started the build out along with first round markets.

Yeah I was pretty lucky with the upgrades all around Atlanta GA. I might not have the most amazing signal but just about everything is upgraded and ready to go.
Ill continue to search around but if anyone is reading this and is complete stock with these issues please post and let me know.

I can confirm my issues are related to the tower im on at home, as soon as I get far enough away from it to go to another tower I get all of my connections back.
The only issues I have seem to be when I'm at home.
Sometimes, it takes a while to send/receive texts. Most of the time when this happens, I get anxious and instead of seeing how much of a delay there is, I simply update the profile and they all come quickly afterward. I've found that reprovisioning my phone using the ##SCRTN#(##72786#) dialer code while on CDMA tends to prevent this from happening for a greater amount of time.
Though, I did it a few days ago, it seems to be working okay now. We'll see how long it lasts.
