Hope this is the correct forum... if not mods feel free to move it
Details are:
Network: o2 (UK)
Phone: XDA II
ROM: 1.60.00WWE
Radio: 1.10.00
Protocol V: 1337.18
ExtROm V: 1.60.50
I have this really annoying problem with my o2 XDA II, where I cannot reply to SMS messages without a failure.
If I write a SMS from scratch and select the contact from my contacts list it will enter the contact number as "07799123456" and the text will send without any problems.
however if I was to receive a SMS from someone and hit the reply button (like we all do) and send the SMS I get a lovely "Your SMS message could not be sent" and it goes in to drafts. When replying it would eneter the number as "Name" <+447799123456>;
Then if I go in drafts and try to send it will show the same error... and keeps doing it. So I have to CUT the text from the message, do a new message and select the contact again and send it... this was it will send the message.
Why does it do this? and is there a cure for it? Its really, really annoying.
Any help you can give will be appreciated!
thanks!

I have the same problem occationally, for me it looks like th eproblem occurs when replying to a contact which have another operator than mine (Telia).
Message Centre
Hi there,
The problem could be occurring if you receive a message from another network. The issue is with a setting which would say "Reply using same centre". This means that the message you intend to send will go directly to the message centre of the other network. Obviously your message will not go through because you are not on that network! If this setting is disabled on the sender's phone and then you try to reply to his message you would not encounter this problem.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

ah right ok... bit annoying though cos I cant tell everyone I know(who has this setting enabled) to do this. There is a paticular contact it happens to and she always has a "Reply Request" enabled (i.e. on my old T-Mobile T610 it would say the user has requested a reply after i read all her messages). Could that be sumin to do with it?
Cant I change a setting on my XDA to send the message via the usual route it goes with it sends a message from scratch? This would work surely?
Thanks for your help, appreciate it!
Thanks,

Hi All,
I'm running 1.66.00WWE & when i send SMS messages to people sometimes only half of it comes through for them. The SMS's are not over the character limit, for example a 20 char SMS sometimes only comes out with the first 10.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a solution?
I've had this problem before. For the recipient, it's similar to that of recieving a multi-page sms which of course takes time to update on their phone.
I just wrote it off as a service provider problem, but if others have the same problem, maybe it is handset related.
Truncated SMS Messages
I too am having problems with truncated messages (just no text actually) on some occasions. Not sure if it is reception related or what. Can anyone help. I'm running latest versions of ROM on o2 XDA II, using an Orange SIM
In my case it was all or nothing. I ended up putting +44 in front of all my UK mobile numbers and that seemed to solve it -not sure if it is the same problem as you are having though.
I also had the similar prob before, and got it solved with the help of gazzaman2k. Try this out, this might do it.
1.) Go to Inbox
2.) At the bottom, Click Accounts, then Accounts again.
3.) Tap *SMS
4.) Untick \"Send SMS messages using unicode when necessary\"
5.) Press \'OK\' then the \'X\'
Let me know if this fixes it.
was supposed to POST reply to thig, but Gut_S beat me to it, hehehe.
YUP, unticking that SEND SMS using UNICODE when necesarry will solve this problem, and TELL your friends about it. SERVICE providers GAIN a LOT from this bug coz you might think your sending only 1 SMS but actually it is counted as 2 or even 3 mesages by the network.
cheers.
Maybe it's just me with the problem, but when someone text messages me, and I press on the Reply icon, the reply won't go through once I send it. I manually have to go through my phonebook, find the person, and choose to text message them from there.
Anyone else having this problem?
This has happened to me with previous phones, I do not think it is a problem with the Magician...
The problem occurred on my SE P900 because the person who sent the SMS had a setting on their phone "Reply via same Message Centre" in their SMS settings. Seems some phones do not respect this setting (and reply using the default message centre number) meaning the text message is sent sucessfully... however, some phones (the P900 being one) do, and try to reply to the text using the SMS message centre number that the original text was sent via.
Now, this doesn't normally cause a problem, however, if you are on a network which has various message centre numbers (for contract, for pre-pay etc) then this is where the trouble can start.
O2 - UK is one of the offenders. They have a message centre number for contract users, and one for pre-pay users... however, for some unknown reason, they bar you from sending a text message via the other message centre... so, when my friend, with her Nokia 3410, on O2 pre-pay sent me a text, I couldn't reply to it, however, I could go in and make a new one and send it fine.
Ironically, I could reply to texts from other friends on completely different networks no problem, and I could reply to friends on O2 contract no problem!
Well, there's the theory... your situation might not be the exact same...
But anyway... the solution is to inform your friends to find the setting (in SMS settings) on their phone that looks like "Reply via same Message Centre" and set it to NO.
(Also note, Nokia 3410's sometimes do not have this setting available on them! I think the setting is stored on the SIM card, maybe, so you'd probably have to switch the SIM to another phone, change the setting, and switch it back.)
works for me if i delete all but the phone number in the "To" field after i choose "reply"
I've been trying to send a multimedia message (the size is only 46K), but the message keeps going to my outbox and is then returned to the drafts folder after an error message pops up -"Unable to send your message(s). The message(s) will remain in the Drafts folder." Has anyone else come across this? The signal/reception's strong, and the message isn't big, so that shouldn't be a problem either. I sent one yesterday without any fuss, but I'm on my fifth attempt to send one today with no luck.
are your settings good? (are you able to send an other MMS?)
I had something familiar with my 'old' touch cruise, when it wasn't able to send I retyped the message and then it was able to send (or I had to repeat this one more time)
good luck!
Thanks for replying!
I tried retyping the message, again with no luck, and then I tried sending a different message (12K in size) to a different recipient, and it did the same thing. I asked a friend to send me an MMS, which at first I didn't receive. Now, 15 minutes later, everything works normally again, and I've managed to send and receive MMS messages. I guess it must have just been problems with Orange's server. D'oh!
i have the same problem , i received mms but i cant send.
i got a message "unauthorized".
my operator said that he does not know what is the problem.
i am using sim(2G) and not Usim(3G) , i am still waiting for it from my operator .
anyone ?
mms problem !
i have tried to do it with USIM(3g) and still the same problem .
the phone was unlocked from Orange and i am using other operator.
please help !
i made HR and now it is all OK .
Hey!
Can you send SMS from your HD2?
I get no error message, but my messages are not sent, I get a warning sign on the right of the message bar. Also, when I long-press it, I have "Retry send" option.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Anyone knows how to fix it?
Same for me. Any ideas?
I can receive sms but cannot reply back
Huh, got it fixed myself
How-to:
1. Settings tab
2. Menu -> More
3. Connections
4. Advanced network
5. Scroll to the last tab (SMS Service)
6. Set it to GPRS Preferred or set it to GSM (it's probably set to GPRS now). If it's already set like that by default and not working, just try to switch it
7. Reboot
I was having a similar problem..
I was on the Tube and I pressed send sms... obviously I had no signal which was fine but when I got above ground I pressed retry and absolutely nothing happened. At all.
Had to reset in the end and delete the message in the outbox and start a fresh. Bloody annoying!!
Hi,
Although this thread is ancient, i see it's still open and named "SMS problems" which is exactly what I'm suffering from.
I just purchased my new HD2 this month and ever since I got it I can't send any SMS. Whenever I try to I get a message saying "unable to send message". I have set my message center number and everything but it still didn't work. I called the HTC help center and they told me I should install the hotfix from the HTC website but when I attempted that, it said it wasn't compatible with my device????
I upgraded my official ROM from 1.66.415.3 to xxxx.4 again using the updates from HTC main site. Again I got the same message.
Up till now I'm still not sure what the problem I have is, and have no clue what the hotfix really does!
Can anyone help me out in babysteps? I'm still new to this.
PS. I did look through the other forums for something similar. It seems everyone's sending texts but to the wrong people, lol.
HELP PLEASE!
Hi i was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix a problem i've been having. able to do EVERYTHING on the phone except send sms's...they just go straight to the outbox and stay there and i get a message saying 'unable to send sms message'..tried everything i could find to no avail so far, so any suggestions would be much appreciated thankyou

it's a known problem in the old ROM of HTC (here in Holland). Just update to 1.66 via the HTC website or flash a custom ROM.
i've flashed to the latest from 1.72 that i could get and still the problem persists?
Hi,
To the best of my knowledge, and personal experience, the original SMS problem was silent. You didn't get an 'unable to send sms message' alert. How did this message appear, was it from Windows, the message client or a text from your service provider? To be honest it looks to me like a service provider issue. have you ever been able to text out with the current SIM?
Now I have the same problem. How did you fix it?
SMS problem
I have this problem also.
I think it's a bug in the software of HTC-sense ( not WM ), while, when I send a free sms (only one's a day) from the Vodafone-button in the Start-menu, this works well.
I have all the update's done from the HTC-site, also all the Rom's I've tried from this site.
Update!
I have tried to send a SMS with HTC sense Off, this has No effect!
Update 04-04-2010!
With other sim in Phone (also other provider) it works normal! So, my phone is working good!
It must be a problem with my Sim or provider (Vodafone).
I let you know the next days the solution of this problem!
Update 06-04-2010
When I installed a new rom on my phone, also the original Vodafone-rom, he installed the wrong number for the messageservice, I have tried this many times, the install was without +31 (netherlands). After editing the number everything works great!
It could be that other costumers have the same problem, but with editing the number with your Country-number the problem must be fixed, my old number was 06540881000 (vodafone),
the new number is +316540881000 (Netherlands)
can't send sms
I have the sam problame with differt sim card of different providers so I don't know what to do, pleas help.
My rom version is 1.66
Thanks

Hi!
I have the same problem. My HD2 have the latest hungarian-compatible official ROM (v1.66), the SIM is T-Mobile. I send group sms often and the device send for example 18 from 22 and the last 4 stay in outbox (after a "sending message is unavailable" error meassage. Maybe its a secret settings the max sms of a day? In HTC or provider?
Could it possibly be a ROM/Radio Version mismatch?

if you go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Phone > Voice Mail and Text Message, what is your text message service center number?
this should be set to Optus' service center number, im afraid i am a telstra customer... so i cannot tell you what the number is... i can tell you if the service center number is the telstra one though.
good luck.
I have another type of question, but in the same subject: I have sometimes the same sms problem, all settings are ok but I need to check every time if the sms message went out from outbox. Sometimes the outbox is empty so the message is sent but sometimes sits there and I have to send it again or delate and compose again. But I receive no info about this!!
My question is if it's possbile to activate somehow in HD2 the information that the message is sent? Like in most simple GSM phones, you have info "the message is sent" and sometimes animation of flying envelope. Before HD2, I used a Qtek S200 with Windows Mobile 5.0 and when I was sending an sms massage, always the information "message sent" was appearing.
Is it possible to activate somehow this info on HD2?? Because, if the message is sent, I can only guess that it sent before checking the outbox or sent messages...
Thanks in advance for a solution !!

Check with your telecoms website, it should tell you what the phone number the SMS service goes through
Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Phone -> Voice Mail and Text Message. The number should match your telecom's number. For some reason this can be blank, and can be the problem.
Sorry to reopen an old thread, but someone might find use for this answer.
I had the same problem, sms service center was ok. Solved it by changing sms carrier from gprs to gsm in advanced networks, witch can be found in Phone settings/menu/Advanced network/SMS service.
