SMS Time / Phone # Format HTC Touch HD - General Questions and Answers

Dear All,
I recently got an HTC Touch HD with ROM "Miri WM 6.5 | 14.0 WWE" & have some questions, lets start with the SMS thing:
The problem is, if i send an SMS now lets say, at 2.00 PM when i receive the reply in 1 minutes the SMS showed time is like 3.15 or 3.30 (1 hour ahead) so my reply is always older then the other party reply, thats weird that the other party reply is always up ahead 1 hour or more, is there anything i can do to fix this issue ?
2nd problem- Phone # format is wrong, whenever i receive a call its always shown as the following: (034) xx-xxx instead of 03xxxxxx.
Sorry if i have a lot of question but i recently moved from iPhone to HTC Touch HD.
Thank you.

Hey there,
Good to see people moving the other way (is from the dark side)
#1 check that you have set your correct region in settings/regional settings as this is mostly the culprit.
There are however exceptions and if your region is set correctly, try the daylight saving fix found here : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/daylight-savings-update.mspx this should correct the problem, but one or two users still report the issue, to which i have found no fix.
as for #2 setting the correct regional settings should solve this too

hehe, thank you for your reply, however, i was checking my settings now, i noticed that i dont have my country listed in the regions drop down menu..what should i do then ? proceed to the update thing or try to live with that ?

lol what counrty do u live in? Regional settings has most places in it
Update is pointless unless ur regional settings are correct.

Lebanon..and its not listed there lol

Send Multiple SMS Problem :/

Guys!
when i send a msg to someone, very very often instead of sending 1sms it sends several, ranging from 2 to 6 even.
so heres the story:
1. write sms to a friend. = 1 sms less than 160char
2. send sms to friend
3. receive delivery report, or even if option is off, no matter.
4. get a reply from my friend that i sent him the msg several times.
- this is not isolated case, this has happened with numerous numerous numbers. from different networks and different numbers etc. so theres a problem i think. whats wrong?
Are you using software like SBP pocket plus, to really close apps? When the mail program is closed to soon it resends the message!
If this isn't the case i got no idea.
Regards, M
nope not spb pocket plus.
i'm using wisbar advanced 2 and i have spb time installed. do you want a list of all the applications i got installed to check it out?
how bout a situation when i just choose NEW - > MESSAGE (from the today task bar). finish writin. click send and of course it closes it. what bout then? does it also count as too soon closed?
Not sure what is counting as 'closing too soon'. I never faced the prob. myself though I'm trialling SBP pocket plus. There are more posts/theads about this particular problem, maybe a search can help you as I only tried to pass info through that I've read on the board.
Regards, M
Ps. locatation Hospital sounds not to good.
Found this info for you maybe it helps reading it:

Hospital
--> I'm a med student, and believe it or not, most of my time is spend in the hospital - therefore i write on the forums from the hospital whether its my pda or from a pc there, or my laptop, and i practically spend tons and tons o time there reading, studying, etc
but i'll take that into consideration and perhaps change it thx mate!

HTC Touch HD remove Telstra

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott
Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!
How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....
Thanks

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search
Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks

Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??
waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?
Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

O2 SMS Reports on HTC HD2

Hi
As you know o2 doesn't have delivery report as standard. The only way can have SMS delivery reports is by having to type *0# each time you send a sms. Is there a way to have *0# (followed by space) in HTC SMS as default?
Hence everytime you are about to send a text out, its allready there by default, it save you the hassle of typing each time and also have delivery report as normal just like other networks.
thanks in advance.
To my knowledge there isn't a signature as such you can add.
You can however add it as quicktext (see menu) which would enable this to be inserted in a couple of clicks.
well nearly perfect
you can add a signiture
all messages => menu => settings => options => menu => signature
all done then enter *0# and it will appear each time + 3 returns.... cannot be perfect

are you supposed to add the *0# to the body of the message or as a prefix to the number?
also if setting as a signature would i be correct in thinking that the "New" "Reply" "Forward" boxes need checked?
thanks

Hi
Yes your suppose to add *0# (# must be followe by space) to the body of the text. Meaning the start of the actual text b4 you actually write your message.
And if signature way yes New, reply, forward needs to be checked too.
Hence everytime you send a message the *0# is allready with in the text msg and you then just write the text as normal. But also receive a delivery report for the text after sent
thanks in advance

didnt you see the post above, its the only way, O2 just point blank do not support delivery reports. So its either that hack to do it or nothing, choose a better network [not croweded by most iphones].

Hi Chris10230
Reason was asking was bcz as you know there alot of o2 customers out there and surely loads of them would have lot to see this feature on their htc hd2. Hence thought may be so sum1 may have something sorted now.
Anyways never mind we still got the signature way, its not too bad.
thanks ;-)

I have my own HD2 on O2. MMS is set by default to give delivery receipt and always does. I find it a waste of time, and have switched it OFF. SMS even if set in Options to give receipt does not.
Using the signature method, receipt only works if I delete the line feeds before the "*0# ". In other words, the * MUST be the first character of the message. But getting a receipt for every message I send would soon drive me batty. I only want occasionally to know someone has had a message, so quicktext is probably best for me, or just remembering the key strokes required.
Thanks for the *0# trick! Much appreciated was wondering why they weren't working. It's now nicely set up as Quick Text from the insert menu.
Cheers

I also have o2 de, but where the heck do I see the status reports? I've activated the option "Allow delivery report" and "Allow read report" under MMS options. Is this correct or should be there another setting?

[Resolved] [Q] Transfer SMS from SIM to Phone in WM?

I've looked everywhere for the answer, but can't seem to find it.
I am having trouble copying text messages from my SIM-card to my phone memory.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve that issue? I am using an HTC Diamond with WM6.5.
Thanks a lot.

Bump for visibility.
hahahahaha I had tried this for a very long time!
Seriously it too annoying!
In the end all I could do is :
put my sim in a nokia phone
transfer messages to the phone
sent them to diamond via bt!!
Sorry for the lame solution, but there is no other way!
Asus sim manager
Asus sim manager(any version) does it
Sorry dont have .exe n other related files.

You can also use apps below to save the sms located on sim card & import to device.

i don't exactly know what you guys here are talking about...
but if its simply about copying a sms from the sim to the phone (as the title suggests) then i don't see how come no one's posted the most obvious solution i've used myself before...
just as background info to those who need to know- i'm running a com5 23569 self-cooked rom on my htc gene (p3400)
and i stumbled upon the solution to this problem you mentioned while going through one of the millions of flashes and restores we chefs go through...
all i did to copy the message onto the phone memory was open the msg to view it and then hit the left soft key to open the menu and the last option on the menu list simply reads 'copy to phone'...i tap on that and voila!! its done...
do let me know if it works coz i don't think it would be this simple and yet left untried by anyone else and requiring external apps to be installed for it to be done...

regardless of fact, if it is working, i wish luck to anybody with many messages..not especially automated process, if you ask me.
for cooks(that flash frequently) matter is entirely different, btw.

don't usually have to contend with too many messages myself...this only arises when i put my sim into a temp phone while the flashing process completes...and at worst i have 4-5 messages to contend with...
ppcpimbackup is my first pick too but i don't remember trying it out on sim messages...worth a shot though...
WOW plenty of options available! thank you guys.
