I updated my phone a couple of months ago. I'm not even sure what the update was. I am not an educated person when it comes to phones. Anyway, after that update, my group texting quit working. I even did a hard reset and it still doesn't work. It will download most people's text in a group message, but not all of them and not all of the time. It just says "downloading". It's frustrating to be in a group text and know I'm missing half of what is going on.
Any help for this amateur is greatly appreciated!
I'm on cricket and had the same problem. I switched to textra (the app) for messaging and it fixed the problem.

I have had the HTC touch diamond for a few months. For the most part I have liked it but now I am having problems. I get freezes like alot of people have reported but it's nothing consistent just a annoyance that you have to remove the battery just to make everything work again.
Recently I couldn't use the phone, network was having problems so I thought. Called Sprint and they said the tower in my area(only 1) wasn't at 100% so they said that could be my problem. Couldn't send or recieve calls or text. They changed my msid and also said I could try updating my rom. I had 1.09, now I have 2.00.
My main problems has to do with texting and settings for texts not being saved. When I have a open conversation and a text comes in, it keeps saying that I have a text to read but I don't(I have already received the txt during the conversation). Only way to stop that is to click on the persons name/number or leave the conversation an use the up and down arrows to find the latest text then it stops saying I have a text. Before the 2.00 update, all I had to do was txt the person abck and the message would go away(meaning I had read the txt) or just leave the conversation.
I cannot get any settings to stay saved. I keep getting like auto correct,suggestion for words and capitalization for first letter. I have them turned off but they keep happening. It's extremely annoying and don't want or need any suggestions. Half the time it's not even giving me the right word and sometimes I have to type the word, delete it then retype the word for it to just be accepted. I am also getting slight pauses/freezes when I text. Most of these problems I believe are caused by the 2.00 rom update. I did not notice most of these except for the settings not being saved. I believe that has always been a problem.
I have tried a hard reset but that didn't fix anything. I thought it would give me back the 1.09 rom but it didn't. No matter what I do, I still have 2.00. So If I am stuck with it, I would liek to know if anyone can help with these problems.
The time isn't always right. Sometimes it says I sent my text an hour before or an hour later and i get texts the same way. It's just random, nothing consistent.
90 views but no replies. Can anyone help?
Sorry to hear that no one is helping you. I been looking around and can't find a viable solution for you.
Apparently with HTC's website, it's better not to downgrade your ROM. So if you want to keep your guarantees or waranty with the phone, take it back to Sprint and they should be able to help. Or contact HTC directly.
I think that will be the best thing to do as no one here suffers the same problem as you. Hence for the no feedback.
Good luck!
Hey everyone,
So yesterday I noticed that I would occasionally receive multiples of the same text message. It started out only being once or twice, but it has increased in frequency. Today, I reset my phone with Odin3 and installed SRE 1.2.2a. Also, I added the lag fix. Unfortunately after ressetting, I am still experiencing the same problem. I thought it was an issue with handcent, so I switched to chompSMS and the same thing is happening. Most recently, I have received the same text message 7 times, and it was originally sent an hour ago. The odd thing is that each copy that is sent to me shows the ORIGINAL send time, so its something on my end that is going wrong.
For the record I have notifications only turned on for one SMS client at a time, so thats not an issue. i have toyed around with my sms settings and everything but for some reason I still am getting this problem. anyone have any help?
update: just texted myself and i have gotten 3 duplicates of the SMS in the last 3 minutes....wtf????

I have sre 1.2.2, the lagfix ext4 and firmware jh3.
The same crap is happening to me! I have no clue what it is, I'm talking to this girl and since I'm getting some of her text multiple times, it is delaying her other text so it ruins the whole conversation. It's bull****! She's on an iphone and she wasn't having an issue.
Anyway, I switched my sim card from the Captivate to my Bold 9700 and started to text myself, the same crap is happening. So, I don't think it's the Captivate.
Hai there. From some time im dealing with a fairly annoying issue that i can't seem to find help on google or out here. That calls for the new thread, right?
So, back to business, max of 2 weeks ago this happend to me, when you go to your messages, on the first step you have the list of all the messages you received and sent. Those with contacts will have their names, those without won't, but the thing is, that for some reason my phone is removing + from some of the message threads, instead of +353 (which is for the Ireland) im ending up with just 353. That causes message threads to loose their name (contact name) and unables me from sending txt messages to that contact/number. Yet, i can still recieve messages in that thread from the person who sent them. Ive tried deleting contact, saving it again, restarting phone etc, you know, the basic sunday fix things. Nothing has helped permanently. It just keep loosing the +. Im attatching screenshot to show you how it looks, but its fairly simple once explained. I hope that none of you have experienced it, but that some of you might know how to fix it.
Cheers!

My phone recently stopped allowing me to send/receive picture messages. I am rooted and on FireKat but that's not the issue because it worked fine for a while after that.
When I try to send a picture message, the preview pops up and the little rotating blue circle thing just keeps going around and around and around and they never send. When someone send me a picture message, it has a button to download the picture and then it fail every single time.
Any ideas? This is huge for me because me and my sons mother are always sending pictures back and forth of our little boy. I really need to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have searched the internet quite a bit and can't seem to find a solution.

I had the same issue and it seemed I was the only one.
What worked for me was disabling adblock plus and a clean reflash.
Hope this helps.
That adblock plus removal fixed it for me as well. Was bugging me to no end.
i have this same problem, cant recieve or send sms w/ emoticons or pictures. i uninstalled adblocker but the problem persists. could it be that i started using iMessage on an ipad?
edit:
it just sent. took a minute or two. removing adblocker works!
I'm having a bizzare issue that started on Christmas Eve.
I'm not getting my text messages. Well, I get them, but very, very late if at all. I sent well wishes to people that night and received a barrage of responses about 8-12 hours later.
Even when I text myself nothing happens. I've tried reflashing, playing with every setting I could and nothing.
The only way I can force them to me in is by dialing voicemail and texting myself while the call is active. THEN it works. I get my text immediately and whatever's been waiting in queue.
If anyone's got any ideas, I'm all ears. T-Mobile GS6 running xtrestolite on DOI1 baseband.
Problem resolved. After trying everything I could think of I called T-Mo. They reset my APN on their side and voila!
So if anyone ever has this same issue, call you provider and have them troubleshoot on their side too. Especially if you know that no one else is having the same issue.
