Hi Guys,
Appreciate if you can help me with my problem. My phone is not receiving some SMS/TXT Msgs from my other contacts. My phone is able to send SMS properly but there are times that I don't received any SMS from my other contacts. Have you guys encountered the same problem as well? If so, did you manage to fix it? I'm using a HTC Sensation XE which is not rooted and no custom ROM is installed.
Thank you and apologies if this issue was already answered (I wasn't able to find a thread for HTC Sensation with my specific problem).
Have u tried restarting the phone? Have tried clearing the messaging cache in applications>manage apps? How long has this been going on? Nice phone by the way sir.

Thanks for the reply! Yup, I've already restarted the phone a couple of times and cleared the cache as well. Hmm. I think this has been going for a month or so.
You have a nice phone as well sir.
Have u tried doing a fctory reset? Are u using the stock message app not handscent or chompsms? Also you can go to your carrier and tell them u think the sim is bad. Ive had a few messed up sim cards that would do the same thing. Everytime i got a new sim the problem went away

I haven't tried doing factory reset. I'm saving it for my last option. I'm just using the stock messaging app of HTC. At first I was using Go SMS and I uninstalled it thinking that it was the cause of the issue. I've also reported this to my carrier twice.
Thanks again for the reply sir! It's very much appreciated.
Which carrier do you have? Call them and tell them u need a new simcard. Thats the problem man im 99.9% sure.

Thanks again for your inputs. It's much appreciated. I'll go to our local carrier and request for a new Sim Card. Hopefully it will resolve my problem. Thanks!
so did the new simcard work out for you?
Apologies for my delayed reply dude. I wasn't able to check XDA again til recently.
The problem was with my friend's network provider. Hehe.
Thank you again for the help and sorry for the very very delayed reply.
I also switched to Galaxy Nexus. Hehe.

As the title says I'm having a problem with receiving text messages. But here's the thing, I will get most of my messages. For example yesterday I didnt receive two, and the day before was the same thing I didnt receive one message. I noticed this about 2 or 3 weeks ago. The reason why I know I'm not receiving any is because I told a couple friends about my problem, and if for some reason I'm not answering back or I ask the question again, they will say they sent me a message.
But its not like I'm not receiving any messages, it just happens to be 1 or 2 every now and then. I dont get whats wrong.
Is it T-mobile?
My nexus S?
My ROM? (NS Collab 1.0.12)
My Kernel? (Netarchy 1.3.0.0)
Anyone else experiencing something similar??
I had this same problem. Was never able to figure out what it was, but flashing to a stock rom or near stock rom solved it.

What ROM were you running before? The ROM I'm using is based off of CM7 nightly #28 right now
CM7 or CM7-based.

Hi All,
First, I wanna say that you guys are so freakin awesome! I've been an xda lurker for a while, but figured it's time for me to join and interact with my fellow HTC Sensation-ers.
It'd be a good chance for me to contribute to these forums, as well as getting some help for my Sensation problems. Glad to be a part of you guys now
Question: Why doesn't Facebook for Android push notifications work on my Sensation 4G?
Background Info: Private Messages in Facebook get pushed, but regular notifications (e.g. wall posts, comments, likes) do not get pushed to my device.
Went into facebook settings, and everything it's at its default values (never touched a thing). Notifications are on.
Other information pertaining to situation: Background data is ON. Always-On mobile data has been tried on and off. Same results both ways.
Can you help a brotha out?
Thanks, guys! I look forward to being a part of your community.
I read that if you sign in on a blackberry it fixes that for android due to a permission that Facebook for bb gives. I don't know if its true but worth a try I guess

Hi fr0zenblood75,
Thanks for the response.
I also have read that before. I actually went far enough to borrow my friends Bold 9780 without him knowing
Alas, it did not work
Does every Sensation user have this issue? Or am I in the minority with this?
Also, I've restarted my phone, factory reset, uninstall and reinstall app....nothing works.
Facebook kinda sucks. You try another app like friendcaster?

It sucks that the Facebook app is garbage
I guess the developer has no incentive to get the app working properly for everybody, seeing that it's not ad-supported.
Believe it or not, my search of this forum was unsuccessful in solving my problem. My received MMS pictures are tiny! Several different phones and networks sensing them.
Running leedroid. Thus did not happen once stock. I thought there was a fixed APK, but I can't find it.
At the very least, can someone on stock post their Messaging APK?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
It isn't the apk, it's the default.xml that needs editing. A data wipe also needs to be done.
Check the Dev forum, there are two threads on it.

Wow, Swype really screwed that post up.
In any case, it didn't happen on stock, and I'd prefer if my phone didn't have to lie to the network.
Did I read something about a flashable zip? Wiping seems silly.

Ok, after asking on various Rom threads to no avail I'm making a topic about it seeing as I'm not alone on this one...
I seem to have lost all cellular data. When I turn on mobile data I keep getting ' connection failed due to incorrect apn settings'
I have flashed different roms, re flashed current viper Rom, factory reset, full wiped, reset apn to default settings, even got a new sim from my service provider. My apn settings are correct, as have been confirmed by my service provider, I've updated radio and firmware...and still no mobile data.
Does anyone have the faintest idea what's going on?
Thanks guys.

Hi,
Have you tried deleting ALL your APN settings,rebooting,then,re-installing them?
Just tried your suggestion malybru, unfortunately it hasn't made any difference
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I'm running viper too and when I upgraded to recommended radio this happened to me. I lost all data connection ! To restore my data I used one of the five(I believe it's 5) generic ics radio and matching ril. I got lucky first one I tried worked for me! I'm not exactly sure of your situation but it sounds very similar to what happened to me... You might want to try the generic ics radio with matching ril.it restored my data right away. You will have to do some searching to find it. But it's there. This just happened to me last week. I really hope this helps you! It worked for me... Best of luck.

this problem seems similar to the problem i faced recently ..i would have complete signal ..but no data
in my case ..if i change the network mode to GSM only ..i used to get Edge
the thing which caused this problem in my case is... loose sim ..yes the sim is loose ..and i kept a paper on top of sim to make it fit tight ...and voila problem solved ...just try this ..it might work
:fingers-crossed:
also check in phone testing that you are st to WCDMA preferred
from key pad *#*#4636#*#* phone settings - look for the only drop down box - hit it choose WCMDA preffered then home
I even lock on wdcma only by pressing *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information press your current channel and another menu will come up, choose your desired channel from there then press refresh. My device kept going to edge sand it drove me crazy so I locked on wdcma only
And had no problem ever since. I now stay on H. I'm sure it depends on your area also but I've never lost signal doing it that way.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why I can't send picture MMS messages on this ROM (I'm using Bruce's 4.1.2 Kang JB ROM, 11/23 BUILD). I've checked all of the APN settings for T-mobile US, and everything looks fine but I can't send a picture. Can someone please give me some guidance? I have searched, and can't fix this issue. Any suggestions?
I can receive picture MMS. When I try to send it just sits there and says "sending" but does not send. I have no issues sending regular MMS.
Thanks!

Hi,
I find with JB ROMS that I always have to make a separate APN for my MMS.
So,I delete all the APN's in the list,and just keep the 2 I need.
One for data,and one for MMS.
I'm not sure there is a way to enable two APN's in this ROM. I can certainly add an APN, but it appears I can only choose one to be active. Maybe I don't understand how it works, but I'd like to figure it out.

Hi,
That is how you do it.
Have 2 APN's with the main data one selected.
Thanks! I'll try that approach.

The ROM isn't broken, so the problem must be on your end. Rather than figuring out what has gotten screwy in your set up, it might be easier just to do a full wipe and fresh install. It should only take 15 minutes. And if something has just gotten screwed up in your install ( which can happen) a full wipe and fresh install should cure it.
I can't imaging its a hardware issue if everything else works.

Maybe you need to add a proxy for the APN settings. Over in the UK the carrier 02 has 2 different types of APN settings, one with and one without the proxy. You can try add/remove it and see how you get on. And for the record I use only one APN and get data +MMS

No luck

I finally resolved this issue. I downloaded the GoSMS app and manually input the APN settings. Once I did that, I was able to send picture MMS.
