I'm getting strange messages on my HD that contain the 'delta' and 'at' symbols with no content and Orange cant tell me what it is?!
I'm now concerned for the security of my terminal, has anyone heard of this?
Thanks.
Me too. Also on Orange. They *seem* to arrive at the same time as a message from Orange but have a different time so appear earlier on the list. There's also an icon with it (stored on SIM maybe). My guess - strange but harmless. I'm just deleting them. I'd be interested to know what they are though.
Not sure if its related, but I have had people say that they are receiving up to 5 copies of text messages i am sending...
Orange think its a text/email that the phone cant interpret...
received one last week, opened it, blank message so went to delete it and phone froze then reset....
received 2 today, first one dated 4th Dec and second one the time said it was a few hours earlier... didnt open either just deleted them.
hmmmm
Lou, are you on Orange too?
I am wondering if this issue is limited to Orange?
tried to upload a pic i took of it earlier but cant as not enough posts

the first one worried me as froxe my phone after i deleted it!
dont know if it is connected but when i registered new sim card, i never got texts through to phone saying update, lease delete and turn off hone or what ever they say?

Hi Lou,
Yeah, exactly the same as mine, I have higlighted it with Orange and they claim to be looking into it for me, but do not yet know what is causing it.
It would be interesting to see if people on other networks than Orange are having this issue to know whether it is related to Orange or the terminal.
Yeah I've got the same its only Orange from what I've heard!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Received the same (although not for a while now), no prizes for guessing network...
Received another one a moment ago! You think it is best to just ignore and delete or open them and delete?
Im still getting them too, just on the phone to Orange, unfortunately they have no idea...
There doesn't appear to be any issue with opening them and deleting them, but please dont take my word for that (terms and conditions apply, etc...)
Are you guys using an Orange-supplied phone, or SIM-free? I'm getting this on a SIM-free phone on Orange network. Just wondering if this makes a difference...?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Mine is a bit strange!
It is supplied by Orange, but is unbranded, yet is locked to Orange.
Hi I've noticed I get this if I accidents remove the sim/sd card cover not sure what it means though lol.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Nice to see that Orange read this...
Still no closer to finding out what the issue is though :-(
Just had an update from Orange, they are now speaking to HTC about this issue.
If anyone else has a similar issue, please use this thread as this (beleive it or not!) is what they are monitoring!
Ta!

Since I got my m5000 almost a month ago I have only made 2 video calls, with orange when you get your m5000 you get some free video calls for the first three months, ... don't know that many people with a 3g phone.
How about you, have you made many video calls?
:idea:
1, to see if it worked, it did...

How do I make a copy of the ROM from my SVP M5000?
What's your experience like? What's the frame rate/quality? How expensive is it to use?
I don't know, since I'm in the USA and will never get to use that feature here on my Qtek 9000.
Cingular just launched 3G, but it's on the 1900MHz band.
I have used it twice! Just to see if it works and the framrate isn't too bad for such a little device.
With T-Mobile you get 30mins for free too!
Only problem is that you either see the person you are speaking to or yourself but not both.
And they charge 15p per minute to T-mobile users and 50p to other networks.
how many video calls have you made (orange m5000) 3

On my O2 Exec you can see both parties on the video call, kinda necessary really so u can be sure the other party sees u not the ceiling. Take a look at your setting. Not only both but you can choose the size of both incoming and outgoing images.
Hope this helps
0 calls, but I think I tested it once for work on VJBigPhone.

Yeah both me and my colleague played around with the settings but still no joy!
I shall try again - not that I will ever use it in the real world.

I have an Ericsson v800 for 10 months now, on which I never tried. Tried it once on my Qtek 9000 to see if it works. It does, ...............with two screens.
I'm losing my patience with my HD2 today. First of all there's the media player (see my other thread). Then it's 'died' on me again, this time when I hung up after a call. I know it's been said it's a notification issue, but I have no agendas set in the calendar, no alarms or anything, so why is it still happening?
Then I've took2 calls and listened to one answerphone message today and the reception has been nothing short of appaling, why is this?
And the phone's stuttering quite a lot, sometimes while scrolling, sometimes when opening apps. Also the weather animation has started stuttering quite badly. What's wrong with my phone??? I've done a soft reset

It sounds faulty to me. Have you complained to your supplier about it?
Please make sure you upgraded your phone to latest ROM version available from HTC. 1.66 or 1.48 depending on where you are from. You can get it from htc.com.
Should this fail to solve your issue, please inform the kind users of XDA from which building, in what direction, and at which time you will be throwing said device off of said building, so one lucky XDA user might be able to catch it and walk away with a free HD2.

It is impossible to back up all of my sms with an app (i have over 50k sms) so how can i manually take them off of my phone and put them back on the phone when i flash a new rom?
Most of the messages are from my girlfriend and DO NOT want to loose them, its the only thing i car about on my phone...but its so damn slow and i would like a new rom, the one i have now is from 9 months ago
With SMS Backup +, you can send your texts to a specified folder/label in a Gmail account, and restore them at a later time.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/sms-backup/com.zegoggles.smssync
i have 50k messages do you know how long that would take? plus i already said that it is impossible with any app.....the phone just freezes after a little bit cause i have a crappy rom on it
Ah, I missed the k part in there, heh. Yeah, I have no idea how you can manually do it (if it's possible I guess).
...more googling for me....YAY
Or just grow up and delete most of them

I have a ton of texts from my son in basic training that are important to me (whenever I start missing him I just go back and read them). If you're using CM6 or AOSP you can just back them up with Titanium Backup and restore the SMS messages. Today I switched from CM6 to LiquidSence and that method didnt work. I installed SMS Backup & Restore from the market and was able to restore all of my son's texts.
SMS B&R has a "no duplicates" feature. It will check to see which ones have already been restored and will pick up where it left off if your phone freezes.
I get it, it will take a long time. But if your messages are as important to you as mine are to me, it's worth it.

Hi, do us all a favor and keep your ****ty comments to your self. It is apparent that you have no one in your life that cares about you or you care about them. You will be lucky if your in box hits 10 by the end of the month.
If incoming messages are sign of importance, I'm right up there. I get a couple hundred a day, but most get deleted when their usefulness expires.
Your phone may be slow because it needs to be purged.
Handcent has online storage for donators I believe....
thats just it....the rom i have is a beta (didnt know that at the time) so it is really buggy now i get force close messages on almost everything i try and do....i just need a fresh rom and the ability to take the sms off manually and place them on a new rom

All jokes aside, you'll do yourself a BIG favor by not taking comments/posts personally. Getting worked up over something online doesn't do anyone any good (besides the entertainment value 3rd parties receive from it ), especially yourself.
Onto the actual topic now: As trindy said try using SMS Backup & Restore. It should do the job you need - should being the operative word here because I've never heard of anyone backing up over a few thousand messages...let alone 50,000
Hope it works out for ya
Hey there XDA
I have now been trying to get my brand new Desire Z to work proberly the whole afternoon but some problems remains which is why i now come to you for help. I've listed them in a list below.. Hope you can help me out here
My HTCSense.com account seems to be missing a lot of functionality.. Phonefinder didnt work, so i had to recover/reinstall something called "Locations" before it got to work. I had allready enabled this "Phonefinder" but HTCSense.com told me that it was disabled. However i still seem to be missing a lot of stuff at my htcsense.com account. See this screenshot:

}
It is like there should be some menu at the top or at the side which iam not getting. I have tried both Internet Explorer and Firefox, which gives the same results.
When i turned the phone on for the first time it showed me some suggestions to friends that i could add from HTCsense.com. When i wanted to select them they dissapeared and didnt show up again. How can i see this list again?
They have however later showed up and i managed to send a request to one of the suggestions but when i try to the other one (it gives me two suggestions) it says that it was not possible to request at the moment.
Everytime i turn on the phone or reboot it, i get a Nortification that my "SIM card has been changed", which is not the case..
Allmost everytime i try to access HTC likes and HTC Hub i get a message that it couldnt connect to the HTC Sense server.
Sometimes when i write speciel characters like ÆØÅ it writes them in uppercase no matter what i do.
I hope that you can help a newbie with some of these problems.. Its been a long time since i've used an Android phone
Thanks in advance!

Regarding HTC sense we have the same experience with errors and functionality. About the sim problem maybe you could try doing a full wipe/reset?

Anyone have problems receiving pictures? I'm having a weird problem. I'm using stock messaging app.. Looks like I can send pictures, but have trouble receiving them. In fact, a few times I didn't receive an MMS until I actually sent an MMS back. So I would send a picture and then immediately receive one once I sent mine. Except the one I just received was sent a day earlier. Another time I didn't get one until a few days later. I replied and my friend didn't know what the hell I was talking about.
Only started having this problem on my nexus 4. Everything seemed fine when I was on my old gnex a couple weeks ago. So is it a phone, tmobile or software problem? Anyone have similar issues?

search around here for the proper apn settings. that will fix you up.
Well wouldn't it already be proper apn settings when I inserted my SIM card?
I am having the EXACT same issue. I tried contacting T-Mobile support about they just "reset" my device on the network. It seems to work better now, but I can usually see when someone tries to send me a message. If it doesn't receive, I just send myself a picture and I'll get whatever was sent to me. However I attributed this mostly to being on 2G at home.
How good of signal are you getting and is it 2/3/4G?

nope. i am on att and just fixed a couple people in a dif thread an hour ago. this is your issue. i just dont have the t-mobile apn settings to help you further.
Do as follows and it might help you:
1. Go Settings - Apps - All.
2. Find SMS app.
3. Force close SMS app.
4. Clear data on SMS app.
5. Go APN settings.
6. Do Settings RESET of APN.
7. Reboot.
It worked for me - though I am in a different operator.
What is also important - MMS comes when you are not on WiFi. Only on Data.
Good luck!
Try these settings for your APN.

What exactly are those changes going to do?
To be honest I really do not know. Once I changed to those settings I no longer had issues with MMS and had better speed. They also seemed to help a lot of other people. YMMV
