Text messaging - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a mytouch 4g, i can recieve text messages instantly by they appear for hours differnet. For example, someone texts me at 11( i get it instantly) but on my phone it apprears it as sent at 7...
I have tried a factory reset, refresh sim, and contacted both htc and my service provider. This didn't happen until i switched providers... What now?

Is your clock set to the proper time, are you using 24 hr. Are you using stock messaging app?

Depending on your rom there may be a setting in your messaging app that will have your times show when the person sent the message instead of when you received it. I set it to that once and it messed everything up. Try and see if maybe you have this option checked?

Is your Timezone and Clock set to the correct time, I had mine set to Indianapolis and I live in san Diego, so my text messages where random too.. so when i changed my timezone back to normal it cleared everything back to normal..
I have the same issue also and my clock and timezone are set fine. I think this issue was posted here a few times and it turns out I that its an issue with the stock messaging app. If you switch to handcent sms the problem should go away.
You could also try using a message/SMS app instead of the stock one.
I've tried both ChompSMS and Handscent and both are extremely customizable, fast and IMO offer better features then the stock application.
It seems to happen to me when three phone goes to roaming, if that helps at all.

How to turn off stock SMS after App SMS Install??

Just wanted to know how to turn off the stock SMS feature so I can use the one I downloaded. I have handcent and like it alot better. Usually when I get my first SMS it asks which one I would like to use as default, but it never did. I am getting two notifications and two pop ups at the moment Thanks!
Open the stock app then menu>settings>received notification (uncheck)

Mms problems

Quick question, every time I send a picture message to someone no matter what service provider all of them say that there its never a picture attached or
It says unsupported file type..and rarely actually sends them an actual picture I've tried it with the stock messaging app, handcent, go sms, and that seems to make no difference at all.
Thanks in advance.

Possibly related I cannot send an MMS unless I am attached wi-fi. Need to call TMOB and complain. It 100% of the time says "unknown network problem"
Yeah, or when I get pictures finally they are smaller than a thumbnail.

You guys need to be a bit more specific: Are you stock or rooted, which rom.. etc etc etc
If you're stock - you need to make sure you're using T-mobile's APN, not simple mobile or telkila or whatever else is there. This can be found under menu ->settings->wireless networks ->mobile networks
If you're rooted on CM - you need to try changing you user string. In MMs app its under menu->settings->custom user-agent.
Good luck.
Stock, no ROM and yes rhee son is on tmo.

Call T-mobile, although they most likely will give you the standard response about doing factory reset, etc, etc
I am just not sure why would it do with correct settings on stock rom and I don't use sms/mms to run into it myself. May be someone else can shed a light?
What should the custom agent be though?
you need to fix your APN settings.
I'm running royalginger and boned up my settings the other day, here is how i fixed it..
Settings> Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names> (Menu->Reset to Default)

Messaging annoyance

Ok, I tried looking online and even deleting the stock messaging app.
My problem is that everytime I receive a text message I receive the little envelope notification in the task bar. Even when I check my texts through this notification, it stays there until I actually press clear on all the notifications. This might be stupid to some, but it absolutely annoys me.
Someone please help.

What msg service r u using. If its 3rd party then u have to ho into stock app and tell iT in settings not to get notifications
I was just using stock and yes I unchecked everything in those settings, and unfortunately I kept receiving them.
Now I've deleted the stock messaging app, and now using the handcent third party app, but I'm still receiving the stock notification and a handcent one.... Is this a bug?
I'm rooted on stock rom.

You problem is deleting the stock messaging app. It still delivers the text through OS, even though the actual app is no longer present. You should have kept it and told it to ignore.
You have to go into your stock messaging app, tap menu, then go to settings. Once in there you need to find "auto-retrieve" and unchecked the box. Then find "notifications" and unchecked that box as well
