I did a check on HTC website on any support update for HTC HD2. I was quite surprised to find the recent SMS hotfix is not there anymore. As you may know, HTC HD2 is plagued with SMS issue. Since the launch, HTC has provided 2 hotfixes on the same issue but both did not work (I can confirm that). The “noise” in the Windows Mobile community is very strong, asking HTC to get it fix once and for all and not to push hotfix that does not fix the problem.
I hope that HTC can come up with a better fix fast. It is very annoying to check very single SMS you send. You have to look at your outbox and if it is stuck there, you might need another SMS to push it or you have to reset the phone and delete the message to purge it.
Today, I also discovered that my SMSes did not come in. I hope it is not a new issue but the same issue that HTC has to fix. BTW, the second fix has a few new enhancement. However, after you install it, you cannot uninstall it (unlike other fixes).
Do you face the same SMS issue like me or others?

Hi,
I have installed the 2nd fix and (touch wood), it has help solved the previous sms struck in outbox problem. I still not comfortable to deactivate the delivery report notification as yet.
The only problem I had which happens only once (don’t know if it’s related), was the phone is on but no calls could come in. Someone had to call me on another number to highlight it to me. I check I could not even make a call out, had to turn the phone off and on again to correct the fault.
Regards,
David

Hi, David, I thought I solved my problem too, until I saw the stuck msg at outbox.
Now, I will either turn on the delivery status or check the outbox manually.

I have faced this problem from day one and even after installing both the fixes. Admittedly, this has cause some problems for me in my work. now I have to chekc the Outbox after every SMS sent. I can confirmed that HTC has removed the latest SMS fix since I downloaded it last week.

Hi Joe, the sms problem was not solved with 1st fix, I just went to install the 2nd fix without removing the 1st one. I think it has been about a week since the 2nd fix, I have yet to have a sms stuck in the outbox (phew).
This phone is still awesome.
FYI.. Looking to buy this http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1008, wrote to them, but no reply yet on where to order. There is a UK site but would prefer to order from source in HK.

Hi Joe, still prefer the one I posted as I can fix with a x-mini and it will make a nice compact sound system. There is cheaper alternative to the one you posted, see http://www.netimes.com/shop/desktop-cradle-w-2nd-battery-charger-for-htc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2457.html?cPath=445_711_716.
I brought this cover http://www.netimes.com/shop/rubberized-back-cover-for-htc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2462.html?cPath=445_698_714, very nice fit and feel.
