Whenever I get a SMS from someone overseas, the time shown on the SMS is in their timezone, rather than mine. This is a bit confusing and also means that new SMSes from other countries are listed below other messages I've already read. Is there a way to get Windows Mobile to show all times in my time zone?
Bump...
Am also having this problem with my new HTC Touch Pro, except the times are totally off (the person that's messaging me is way behind my timezone, yet their messages appear two hours ahead of my timezone?)
Anyone know how to fix this? It's pretty annoying
Hey Guys, first time posting...
My Fuze has been great, except when it comes to sending and receiving sms messages... I can't!!... and if I go Start/Messages none of my original text messages from my Sim are there.
It makes me think that the phone and sim card aren't communicating properly?... although I can receive and make calls... could it be something that needs to be changed in the registry? I have installed PHM Registry Editor but don't know what I need to change.
Also, I have TouchFlo on the phone and when I slide the menu tab to messages, I can see new messages that I have received (yes that's right, I receive msg's through touchflo, but no other way!), and they are stored on my phone and not my SIM! AND it doesn't notify me when a new msg comes in which is very annoying!! And the same problem... I can't send messages
So in summary, I think the texting side of the phone it not correctly setup and needs to communicate with my SIM card.. I assume it is a registry change that needs to be made?
Please help...
Thanks, Seireon

I have the same problem and emailed ATT, their response was that if the SIM that I have is 3G it should work fine on the phone. I need to call tech support with ATT to see if they can troubleshoot, as I will not exchange the phone due to some investments in it already like invisble barrier. If there is a issue with the SIM that I should be aware of please continue this thread as I know that there are many in the same hole. Thank you.
more info
Spoke with ATT CS the sim card has to be matched to your phone in order for it to work properly, I can send and receive mms and sms messages now.
ok same problem again sms, stopped working,
new developments I have been able to figure out that the problem is associated with the media net connection. once media net has established a connection, sms stops working. I have been unable to send multimedia messages, what I will try next is to try by flashing another ATT/Cingular ROM to see if the issue disappears, if it does then is a software issue, if it does not disappears then is a hardware issue and I'll have to change the phone for another.
I'll post in a few hours.
Í've been having the same problem with my phones. Every 3-4 weeks I will lose the ability to sms. I go to att online chat support and they reset my phone. I believe it is related to att's account systems because it happened once before I got the fuze and it occurs on every phone on my account. Ít's getting to be a hassle to swap my sim into my "dumb phone" to call att for a resolution. I might have to get the pda plan so I can gripe about it more.
Ok I have PDA plan.
Flashed the following ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466219
Everything is working like a charm. I opted to flash that custom ROM because of its great reviews and apparent lack of issues. I'm still testing it, but so far is all good. I'll update if issues regarding this thread come to light. Thank you.
Having the same problem
Same problem here, although I can send text messages, my picture messages are hit and miss (miss in the beginning). ATT had me go in get another SIM card and do a hard reset... this kind of fixed it... now I can send/recieve sometimes.
I'm interested in hearing if the new ROM fixed this in the long run (not just for the first few days).
Hey,
got the same problem aswell now!
Flashed the same ROM, and now I can't send any SMS anymore. Before the flash I was able to (flashed from stock)
Would love to hear if you got it work! I'd like to know the solution!
Thank you

4 days of testing and still working perfectly, if you have issues with sms, or voice mail, please check that you have the right numbers on the Voice Mail and Text Messages services, at
Phone, Options, Services. For Att in US they should be the following:
Text Messages Service Center: 13123149810
Voice Mail: ""write your account cell phone number""
Hope this helps. Thanks.
i had this problem when i first got my fuze.. sometimes the touchflo messes up when installing and a hard reset solved my problem..
Update, no problems so far everything is working like a charm. Thanks.
still have that same problem
i lost the ability to send or receive sms after i flashed my phone for the second time.
first time from stock, did rre fuze 4.5 special edition.. sms worked like a champ.
second time changed to romeos and things stopped working for sms altogether. weird thing is i can do that whole call "get numbers used" in my contacts, and it will text me how many minutes i have.
i cannot send nor receive any messages. iam getting frustrated with this because no one really seems to have an issue.
i just did two hard resets, flashed to rre fuze 4.5 special edition, and still cannot get anything to work.
i read somewhere that turning 3g off worked. it did not.
my voice mail and text message service reads as follows
text messages service center: +1 (312) 314-9810
is it supposed to read like that or what?
please advise.
Problem
I'm having the same problem with SMS, I can't send or recieve any pictures, audio files through messages, nor can I recieve or send bluetooth files once connected to another phone via bluetooth, does anyone have a answer to that?
btw I have flashed my phone at least 4 times. different rom versions until i found one i liked. Now i am barely noticing I can't sms
Hi All,
I am having problems receiving sms on my HTC HD MINI. Sometimes sms comes through fine, but alot of the time they can come in hours late or not at all! I have tried a hard reset and taken my phone back to its original state, but still having the same problem. I have checked the HTC website for updates and all they have is one for ringtone quality. I got in contact with HTC and they suggested a hard rest, which I have tried already.
I have noticed my messages finally seem to come through once I send out another sms, make or receive a call, or turn off and on my handset.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem with Samsung Galaxy S... Usually when I put the SIM card in the other phone, messages come right away. But I noticed that sometimes I don't get messages from other network operators, only from my own, but sometimes I don't receive any messages. Weird problem. Tried hard reset, it doesn't help at all, my next step is to take the phone to service or hope that Froyo update will solve this.
Regards
Anyone got this problem of getting duplicated SMS? I receive a SMS and sometimes that SMS i receive again for example 30min later but with the original time, each SMS only repeat once.
I have the HTC Vodafone stock ROM, this start to happen about 3 weeks ago.
Check to make sure you don't have notification on more than one SMS apps. Check that you don't have reminder on. Try rebooting. That's all I can think of.
Sent from the Axiom One S.
Also check with Vodafone
I think i will send to vodafone for the 3rd time, the first two times there was because of touch button issue.
I love the phone but i am getting lot of problems, i found another problem with the GSM only work sometimes .
My text messages are delayed on T-mobile with the new xperia Z3 D6616. I dont get texts until hours after they are sent. I have tried to use the stock sony messaging, hangouts, textra, and whatsapp. they all have huge delay. I have restored to factory settings since I thought it was from switching from iphone and bringing text history with me...... after the restore to factory with no contacts or text history, there is still a several hour delay on texts. please help!!

Might be a sim or network issue, mine works fine. Take it to TMO and try out a new sim.

Is it SMS or MMS? If you have wifi calling enabled and its active, you will not be able to send/receive MMS. SMS should work though. Otherwise, maybe its an outage in your area.
thanks guys. i did a restore, removed all my old iphone text history, and turned off wifi calling. it seams to be working, but i tried turning off wifi calling before all this. I am using textra now, not sure if I like the battery consumption or not yet, but its fast now. mms seams to be going through fast now too.
on a side note, the stock Sony messaging app is terrible for mms messages, and just texting in general i think.

I just let Hangouts handle my SMS/MMS, you can do the same.

I was having issues with texts not sending. I found on another forum people disabling VoLTE and so far thats been working for me. Sucks not being able to use VoLTE but maybe it'll work in a future update.

Sorry to bring this from the dead. I am an AT&T customer and I have D6606 that works perfectly fine but I don't get text messages when I'm connected to WiFi.
How did you disable VoLTE?

Must only be on the T-Mobile version.
having the same issues with tmob. this is my second z3. not sure what the problem is
What does it say under Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> My phone number?
If it says unknown, try fixing that. I had to stick my SIM into an old BB Curve and edit the MSISDN. Since then Hangouts has been grouping iMessage MMS correctly
I'm also on my second Z3 (T-Mobile) right now. Everything they've told me to "fix" the solution in which my text messages aren't sending through until I retry 5-8 times, has yet to work permanently.
I've just now turned off the VoLTE to see if that will help. I've been told to turn off Wi-Fi calling automatically (even if that feature is turned off anyways) and that helped for what seemed like 24 hours. I've done several Master Resets and those, again, only helped for a day or two.
I downloaded Sony's PC Companion and all that did, essentially, was another Master Reset to my phone while saying "Software has been updated."
Now I'm still struggling with the same issue in which my phone won't send texts. I called Sony and talked to them; they're only offering a refurbished replacement. Otherwise, they said to hold the power button and the volume up button at the same time to do a power cycle. This fixes the phone temporarily, but not permanently. Plus, I don't feel like turning my phone on and off 5-7 times a day if necessary. None of my previous Xperia models needed this.
So after I use my phone with VoLTE off for a while, I'll report back. Otherwise... This might be the downfall of Xperia for me.

I am having the same issue as well. So is probably a software issue. Hopefully T-Mobile can update soon. It's really annoying. Are you also having problem receiving texts? People send me texts but I never receive them.
:[ Still having issues
Sorry for bringing up the old-ish thread but I'm becoming quite irritated over this issue. I got the phone as a bday gift last month, but since then I've been also experiencing these messaging outages. Before, it was a text delayed by some time, which progressed to some hours, and now some texts I don't receive at all until AFTER I restart the phone. The phone actually will show two timestamps (via the textra app, which I also downloaded to try and help alleviate the problem, but it hasn't) that show when i finally viewed the text (after restart) and when the text "should" have arrived. I notice the problem mostly persists when the phone has been on hiatus for a while; typically if I'm still actively using/looking at the phone or texting, the messages sent from people will arrive when they were sent. But, once the screen has been off for some time, that's when SMS arrives delayed/after phone restart and MMS are just a lost cause. I'm on the TMO service, and trying to contact them have been less than helpful. Literally, they just told me to text myself, and when I said "yes, the text arrived" they assumed the problem was fixed despite me telling them IF I'M LOOKING AT MY PHONE, MOST OF THE TIME THE TEXT WILL ARRIVE. So, I'm also partially ranting about their customer service. I've tried disabling the WiFi, I've already swapped the phone, I've tried tinkering with some of the settings about having data run while phone is off, and nothing has fixed the issue.
Thanks for bringing the thread back up. I have noticed that I have intermittant text sending issues, too. As well as receiving issues (it has been about 3 days now since my wife received the same MMS sitting right next to me with her SGS4. I didn't pay attention if they were when I was connected to wifi, etc, but I just tried disabling volte and will update as I come to more conclusions.
Come to think of it, I have another weird thing with group messages. When I respond, I'll get the same text I send out back, from myself.
Omg this is happening. Seriously nothing but disappoint on this phone on t-mobile. No group text, and trouble sending out some sms.. Hope for an update. Battery has been dying faster too 17 hrs. And sony remote play is just choppy now....3 month on this phone. Sad
