Hi there,

A search has only shown one other person with this issue and then there seemed to be no resolution :-(

My XDA-II has stopped receiving text messages. I tested the sim in another phone and txts came through fine.

Also on my XDA I can send txts.

One thing, my smsreceiver.exe is running.

Does anyone have perhaps some things I can check to see why I'm not receiving txts please? I'd rather NOT hard reset.

Thanks in advance

Have you been using Sprite backup.?

Exactly the same thing happend to me AFTER I performed a hard reset and restored all the stuff using Sprite backup. What happened was that when someone sent me an sms, the screen on my mda ii would come on-it means that it definitely received something, but would not make any sound and I wasn't able to find that sms anywhere. I really couldn't resolve this problem so had to perform another hard reset and put all my programs back manually :evil: Very nasty experience, indeed :cry:

yeah I've got sprite backup and have done a restore, have just confirmed this over at tekgurus too.

Gah! I hate computers :-)

Been told its a recognised issue and should be fixed.... when tho? dont know.

Thanks for the prompt reply guys, I hope my aptley named subject will lead other lost souls to the answers :-)

If you do a restore without the inbox it may restore your ability to receive sms.

Sprite has a beta version of their software available upon request that fixes this problem.

Yes, there is a beta but many people that have used it have experienced other serious side effects. I think the bottom line at the moment is that there is no completely working version of Sprite Backup for the Xda II until they release the next version.
