I just sent a txt message off my XDA, but it sent it 3 times.. well i assume it did. The sent notification popped up 3 times and i got charged for 3 times(not good when im low on credit :evil: ) Anybody found a solution to this or is it just crappy software again :evil: :evil:
do you have 'Pocket Plus' installed with the close button feature on? as i found on mine if i did it would send my txt messages 2-3 times as well. got round it by turning that part of the software off.
do this mate:
go into inbox
then click on tools or accounts at the bottom
then go into accounts or options again or what ever it is
cclick the accounts tab
tap the sms account
make sure send message using unicode is unticked and then send texts mate
never get charged more then normal charge then
sorry about not being able to tell you in top detail as i dont have my xda2 t the mo its in repair

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem as me.
Every now and again I'll send a text message to someone (or sometimes a few people) and then I'll get a text back from them saying that I only needed to send it once as they'd received it twice.
Now, as far as I can tell, this is gonna be eating into my text bundle (which I'm not too happy about!) and wondered if anyone else has experienced this with their device?
I had this last night.... I sent an SMS to my Dad the day before... and last night he rang me up asking why I sent it again..... I had no idea!! Nothing to do with Orange is it??
Nope, nothing to do with the Orange network as a mate of mine has just bought an O2 XDA II and he's sent a few texts which I've received twice.
Dears, I guess you have Sbp Pocket Plus 2.0 or 2.1 installed in your xda, it creats the problem of sending doublicate messages.
The Solution???
In the options, do not use the "close" feature in Pocket Plus, simply take out the tick in the "Close" feature, then try to send SMS. Your imate, or xda, or wshatever, will work ok afterthen!!!
Ahhh, right...
I'll try adding an exclusion to the list for "tmail.exe" (which is what PocketPlus identifies it as) and see if I get any more problems...
Cheers for that

I will give that a go myself... see if that sorts the problem.

I don't have it (SPB Plus) but I have the same problems! ITS A CON Back in the days of free texts on Pay as u go on o2 I noticed this.... MY SMSC (Text Message Service Centre Number) had changed because I was investigating why my friends where recieving multiple copys of messages on seeing that the smsc number had changed once i had added (Whats now called a 'bolt on') to my number I changed it back to the original once that was done I STILL Recieved my free messages and the multiple copys had stopped
this used to happen with me , i tried this solution and it worked with me
when u send any message, DO NOT exit the sms program until u get a sent message confirmation and that won't happen.

That seems to have done the trick...
Yep, adding tmail.exe to the exceptions list works like a charm - nice-1
Mine started doing this to-day ahh!!
Have added the tmail.exe to exception list hope this works
every time i send a short text message, it deducts 48p off my balance instead of 12p.
POS!
whats wrong with it ?
are you using pocket plus or other programs which really close applications insted of the normal minimize ?
Same for me : Text messages are sent twice !!!
Doesn't really bother me as I don't have to pay for it anyway (thx a lot, boss ) but it is pretty annoying for the recipient
Using the default SMS-programm (Messaging) on my BA with WM2003 SE
There is a bug when sending txts that I found. Look at the characters and pages. For some reason if you use T9 and it auto punctuates more than once (sometimes just the once) it will shorten the txt message to half therefore sends 2 or more. It's stupid but just keep an eye on the counter and manually remove punctuation e.g, there's to theres and it will be fine... I only found this out after months of double and triple txt messaging charges.
Thx a lot for the feedbacl, although the problem/issue I'm facing is slightly different as I'm not using T9 and the message is not being split up.
It is exactly the same message that is being sent twice

That's no bug.
SMS are shortened whenever the phone switches to unicode (which is necessary for using some unconventional characters)
But the Qtek devices show clearly how many chars can be sent in one SMS and even how many SMS will be sent.
Simply watch the counter at the bottom before sending an SMS and avoid characters demanding unicode.

okay. will do.
cheers.
rite...
Well im using the 02 300 free texts and mine gets sent 3-4 times. even thou i avoid using T9 and Unicode characters (annoys me) but i donno why, is there a solution to it. cheers :?

Does O2 deliver the same SMS 3-4 times to the recipient or do they "split" the message into 3-4 messages.
In the latter case, you are definitely using unicode characters.
In the first case you should contact your provider.
And don't forget: watch the counter before sending.

Double txt messages
Hi,
I am getting the smae problem every message I send is getting sent twice from the XDAII.
Doesnt matter if the txt is <160 chars or multiple messages.
The receiving device receives the message.
Then sometimes (NOT ALL THE TIME) it will send a duplicate message.
Usually (but again not all the time) the duplicate is sent later when the XDA is used again, after turning it back on.
Any one any clues?
It does run PocketNav as a task switcher/killer and I am going to diable it to check this as a cause.
Thanks in advance
This is a bug from spb Pocket plus when closing the SMS application while message is still sending, try not to close the SMS app while message is still sending.
me too...me too....while using XDA II sending msg, receipient get 2 msgs...i m using spb pocket plus and some chinese translation software...which is the cause of the problem?.. :roll:
The cause is 'tmail.exe'. If you are using spb Pocket Plus you need to do the following:
1. Tab on Start, Settings
2. Select System to launch Spb Pocket Plus
3. Tab on the Features Options that will bring you to Close Button panel.
4. Tab on Exceptions that will show you a panel 'Listed programs will always be minimized when tap the X button'
5. Tab on the ADD button and a pop-up box will display. Then select tab on the Browse.
6. A panel will be displayed showing all the directories. Then tab on the '+' sign of the Windows Directory to expand it.
7. Scroll down till you find a program 'tmail.exe' and tab on it to select it.
8. Lastly, tab on the OK button and it will bring you back to the Close Button panel. In the box it will showed that you have selectet the 'tmail.exe'. Then tab on the OK button on the top right corner.
9. That's all. It should work. On a safe side do a Soft Reset.
You won't have mail sending twice and you will be prompted immediately when the is an incoming mail.

Great.....good to hear that......
Also that problem without Spb Pocket Plus installed
Hi y'all. I have an IMate Jam PM10A (former T-Mobile MDA) and I'm having the same problems. My sms messages are delivered twice, the 1st immidiatly, the 2nd sometimes an hour later. I do not have SpB Pocket Plus Installed, here is what i do have installed:
# Xvid Codec
# Smart Movie Lonely Cat
# IRemote Majeres
# Windows Theme Switch Today
# Pocketmind Pocketmusic
# Virtual Display Nyditot
# Resco Explorerer 2003
# Wisbar Advance
# Laridan Pocketbible
# Todayinfo Lou Terailloune
# Calendarplus Mohairsofa
Could the Wisbar Advance be the problem=
V-Bar
I'm sending multiple sms as well
Im not using pocket plus but i do use the T9 autocomplete so will turn that off and see, think i do send small multiple sms as well, also i use V-Bar which closes applications so i have removed that and will see if anymore ppl complain about me spamming the multiple sms
Anyone got any idea if any of the following problems cause conflicts in a similar way to pocket plus

Poket Plus ?? Multiple texts

Hi Rudegar,
You mentioned - POCKET PLUS to other user ...
Both my XDA IIi and my wife's XDA mini-s send same message multiple times. I will always receive the message immediately and then again when my wife 'activates' her phone in some way, and vice-versa.
We both use Pocket Plus - Is this the cause. I have been stripping away third party software for amateur developers but I reckoned Pocket Plus seemed 'safe'
Tony - [O2 ireland network]
pocket plus have an option which terminate (really close application rather then minimize them) when people press the X
this is as far as i know useless and a wish people comming from windows on pc like because they dont know that win ce automaticly close unused applications when it require the memory those applications is using
so one can safely turn off that "real" close of application unless one get serious slowdowns from using applications which eat alot of mem
otherwise excluding outlook from the "real" close option is a way to avoid it
or to not close outlook with the x before one gets the msg is sendt icon on the title bar of
Thank You
Thank you Rudegar,
I was fairly sure I had replied to your very helpful post when indeed I hadn't - So, Thanks again, your help pointed me in the right direction to sort my problem!
Hi i am now the proud owner of a UK O2 xda mini s , i came from the treo 600 and one of its features i miss is the automatic resend of sms messages if your ouit of the reception area at the time you send it is this possible in any way with WM5 ?
Sorry to bump my own post, but anyone any ideas
For me, this happens automatically I think. It is hard for me to get out of coverage to test, but I will try it next time I do just to see. I don't see any configuration for this feature, but it may or may not be there by default!
hmmmm ok ill run some tests here as well .I was assuming it didn't work as I found texts I had tried to send still in my drafts folder when if they had been sent should have been moved to sent but that might be a feature of wm5 ...
OK i set up a text to send to me whilst in a dead zone about 2 hours ago and its not come through yet .
I used to have (still have dont use it much) Nokia 9210. Very old by todays comparision but some features are just something which makes me wonder why no other phones have since. When I sent SMS by presing button SEND I had about 5 seconds to cancel it by pushing cancel button in OUTBOX folder. If I didnt I could just close the phone knowing that it will be send whenever phone gets back to mobile network.
So I wonder is there any registry tweak to keep trying to send SMS or re schedule failed sms? Or do I have to wait every time in the tube before I got out to send all the sms I wrote?
Backup is an internal application of Nokia 9210 which I used but never needed it. That phone has never crashed by meaning of loosing all of the information in 5 years!!!
I messed up today screen and lost all sms and other stuff on UNI just under a week of using. Is it the windows or the architecture that bad? Using Midget 0.1 Crosbow
For unknown reason whenever I plug the Uni in the PC and Active sync starts to synchronise it doesnt stop. After hard reset I was suprised that it didnt synchronise for at least a week.
What settings are wrong?
Because I cant change what will be synchronised and for example favourites doesnt do anything.
I use Active sync 4.5beta
I had Motorola A925 afterwards and that phone is crap. I could not get back to nokia 9210 because that doesnt support USIM, the only disadvantage of that phone.
I just hope that with all the backuping will not loose all data again, its a pain in the a***.
Thanks anyone who knows anything about tweaking SMS settings..

My MMS messages won't send (I don't have the correct settings), but they keep trying and advise me a few times a day that they're not going out. I'd guess that SMS messages do the same thing...? Cheers,
Ok so I hard reset did everything ya ya ya,
now tho, when using VITO SMS Chat it came apparent that my sent texts are going out, AKA sending perfectly fine, then deleting from my phone right afterwards it appears... So in VITO SMS i only see incoming text messages and even in the standard text message APP when i navigate to sent items it shows no items in there even right after sending a message...so it's basically just inbox and nothing in outbox.
any suggestions/help as to why?
edit: i have an HTC vogue from VZW
There is a setting in the sms options to save copies of sent messages.
I dont know about your app through, did it work before ?
I imagine it uses the same setting or has its own somewhere.
all fixed i just reinstalled it the 11th time and it worked. random i guess. plz delete thread
