SMS: no automatic resending if out of reception

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,

Android 1.0 bugs and glitches

Has anybody else found annoying bugs so far? Here's the ones that I've run into:
- Address Book server sync overwrites changes that you've made from the phone (haven't confirmed this one, might be my fault somehow)
- Multimedia volume slider plays your ringtone once you adjust the volume, but plays it at the volume set in the ringtone slider (not the volume that you're actually adjusting)
- Browser bookmarks list has a lot of trouble keeping site icons straight, it just kind of randomly shuffles them around to the wrong site as you load different bookmarks
- AOL Instant Messenger app shows weird behavior, not sure if it's a bug but it is definitely difficult to use in its current state. Locking the phone prevents messages from showing up, then on unlock they stream in all at once, and if you go too long without checking in on it the program will be terminated but your screen name will not be signed out of AOL's server
- There doesn't appear to be any way to set a vibration for notifications like Text Messages or IMs
- Some apps (MySpace Mobile, specifically) do not account for their process being interrupted when the screen rotates and the current action will be cancelled or the program will freeze.
Overall great phone, I'm really extremely impressed with it as a whole so far. I'm amazed at how fast my internet connection is on EDGE, my old Dash was technically on the exact same connection but took 5 or 10 times longer to load a full web page. Even without 3G the web browsing experience is comparable to using my desktop at home.

ya there is. for example, go to the main Messaging page where it shows all of your threads. Click on Menu > Settings > Vibrate (put a check mark)
same thing with IMs or EMail

Awesome, thank you! Weird that the option isn't available in the same place as setting the vibration function for the phone. Has anybody found solutions to any of these other problems?

Thanks
That fixed it for me. Thanks..its so Funny because Ive been messing around with my phone for 2 days and Just found this answer...Thanks

Android will get it wrong sometimes on sms threads when the sender is not in your contacts.
I noticed yesterday I received an sms from [email protected] and deleted it. Later an sms from +1913XXXXXXX. When I pulled up the my sms folders later, the newer, undeleted sms from the 913 number said it was from @domain.com.
(and the two are in no way related.) I did a reboot and it still displayed the same.

When I plug my G1 into my iMac the computer freezes and I need to do a hard restart. Is anyone else having this issue? My updates are current on my iMac and all of my other phones work without any problems.

when i play music and i turn of the screen, there is a jump every 15 seconds

here's an email bug...
Go to craigslist.org. I wanted to ask a seller a question. When I email from there, it gives me 2 options, to use my pop 3 email account or gmail. If I use gmail, it takes off the craigslist.org extension and replaces it with gmail.com. If i choose to send with my pop 3, it just opens a blank email without the email address. I try to copy and paste the address into the sending field, but it won't let me. I use craigslist a lot, so this is a bit of a pain...
Otherwise, lovin the G1

When it switches you over to gmail. Is the body filled out or the sender in the field?

no, just replaces the extention
Give it a try see what you find. www.craigslist.org

Actually i did try it and it worked for me.
But, i used the mobile version of Craigslist.

Checking mail in standby doesn't work

As the topic title suggests, I'm having problems checking mail with poutlook while in standby.
The "Check every..." option doesn't work, and when I hit "Send/Receive" and then press Power to enter Standby mode it stays in the same state when I power on the device later.
Does anyone else encounter this? On which ROM version/build?
I'm using ROM version 1.14.401.3 build 22273 WWE.

through which connection ar eyou checking mail? wifi or celluar?
when your phone goes into standby, only celluar connection is active.the wifi is turned off (unless you change the registry or use aadvanced tool to maintain wifi connection while the phone is in standby).

Cellular of course. I know that Wi-Fi doesn't work in standby.

Hi,
I've got the same problem. My X1 is configured to fetch mail through the data-connection (which remains open while in standby). But the mail is fetched only when I get the phone out of standby.
My version is the dutch unbranded version. Rom version: 1.02.937.3

Hi,
I have the same issue with my recently purchased Raphael.
No email pop when the device is in standby mode.
My former phone (Hermes, WM6.0) had a totally different behaviour, retrieving emails at the configured interval, either through cellulafr or WiFi connection. It seemed that the scheduler was able to wake up the device, open the connection as appropriate, and pop the mail server. Then notification was issued as a sound alarm, LED blinking and/or screen pop-up.
Is the new behaviuor linked to WM6.1 or to a manufacturer specific setting?
Please can someone help to sort this out ?!?
HTC Touch Pro T7272 (Raphael)
ROM 1.90.406.5 FRE
Radio 1.02.25.19

I haven't been able to solve this issue. I doubt it's a WM6.1 bug because I haven't encountered it on my previous devices with the same operating system. So the firmware has something to do with it apparently.
I installed one of the push mail programs called Seven (www.seven.com), and checking mail in background works just fine for me now, but this is not a fix for the native client bug of course.

I accidentally deleted poutlook file. Can someone please upload it so I don't have to resort to hard resetting the phone? I have a lot installed on it.
Please.
Thanks.

same problem
I cannot get the mail client to check for mail every 30 minutes when it is in standby.
Anybody?

Same for me. Discovered this problem in the last few days after setting up my Yahoo account to collect every 15 mins. It seems to do it as soon as I wake the device.
Also tried setting up Peak and Off Peak times and the schedule box is greyed out.
I set up a fake exchange server to highlight it but Im not sure if the settings are universal or just for the fake server?
@vangrieg
Which seven product was it please?

How does this Seven work?
Surely there's a way to make it sync while in standby? It's almost like you can't receive a text or a phone call until you wake your device??!?!?!

It works fine in standby. I'm not sure what you mean when asking how it works. It's a push mail service which uses their server as a proxy of sorts, which checks your mail on POP, IMAP, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and even Outlook Web Access accounts. Whenever there's new mail, it's pushed to your device. So you don't check mail from your device actually, it's done by the server, your phone just downloads mails when they arrive.
From the UI perspective, you are just using your stock WM Outlook.

Text messages seem fine, but I've noticed the same with emails - nothing happens til the device wakes.
This is a bit of a deal breaker really - MS couldn't put this in to force people to use Exchange or something daft like that, could they?

I had the same issue on my diamond and You have to use one of the following programms called "Kaiser Tweak or Schaps_AdvancedConfigTool". There are two points, where you can set the "Suspend Timeout from AC resuming and Battery resuming". I have set the values from 1 second to 75 seconds

I dont quite understand how or why it should make a difference but I seem to have inadvertantly fixed this issue with my phone. Im on O2 and couldnt get my MMS to work despite having the correct settings. Eventually on the O2 active connection, I changed the WAP protocol from WAP2.0 to WAP1.2 and my MMS worked. Since then though so has my email! Previously it would only work when the phone was fully awake or when i sent/received, now there are messages waiting when I switch the phone on!

Ive had this since my Wizard. I assumed it was for a reason. If you dont touch your phone for 8 hours, but it is still connecting and retrieving mail every 10 minutes it is a waste of battery power. You won't see the mail till you bring it out of standby whether it has retrieved them or not.

Schoolydoo, Mine checks every couple of hours and when i use my phone they are there ready to read which im happy with as it irritated me having to send and receive manually. Just posted what Ive found to possibley help others. Ive not had chance to set up a push mail system but as Ive got several different accounts Im happy with how mine is now working. It just seems odd that the protocol thing should effect the auto retrieval.

Hey, could you describe exactly how you did this please? I can't find the setting for this anywhere

In messages select the left hand 'all messages' tab, then right hand 'menu' select mms options, then the 'servers' tab. My phone then shows the only connection as 'o2 active MMS', select it and it opens a screen where you can edit the settings, the bottom option is WAP Version, select 1.2 and its done.
Like I said, stil dont know why it works but deffinately does! Let me know how you get on.

A Bit Confused Re SMS and WiFi

I'm currently forced to use WiFi instead of data to access the internet. Since I'm now leaving WiFi on all the time, I can no longer send SMS messages. And I'm not sure I'm receiving them. Is that normal? Is there some sort of setting I need to change? Or is this the old SMS bug from the past?
Thanks.
-Bob-

Pretty sure you have to have data access to send SMS, as it's phone number based, so phone service is required.

there shouldn't be a problem sending and receiving txts when wifi is on.I surf over wifi all day long with no phone issues.

The strange thing is that NOW I'm receiving and able to send with wi-fi on.
Guess I'll have to turn on "Request delivery report" for now and hope I receive my messages.
It's odd that after 3 months, I've suddenly experienced the dreaded SMS bug.
BTW, can anyone tell me how to access the out box to see if the unsent messages are there?
-Bob-

on the messaging tab,
all messages - menu - settings - traditional mode. makes it easier to switch between in and out box etc.

the outbox usually keeps the messages those could not be sent ... if there 're any of it so ur suppose is ture..and i think there is a number u can define to send a message...not sure about hd2 but xperia x1 my phone automatically get the config...

Well...no unsent messages!? The "Sent Items" shows all my messages as having been sent, but I know they weren't received. Now I'm starting to wonder if there isn't some user error on my part.

I agree.
SMS was never designed to be instantaneous, and networks will argue this case.
Wait a few days beforehand, then ask your network provider if they do not appear, it may be a 'stuck' SMS in the network's system causing issues.
I've known a text message to take 363 days to arrive...

The messages that I sent at 8:00 this morning, that were not received, suddenly flooded into the recipient's phones at 11:00. Since they weren't sitting on my phone, as far as I could tell, I guess T-Mobile was hanging on to them. Odd. That's never happened before.

Droid-X and Gingerbread and Sync/Push

i have two droid-x`s pretty much identical setups (both have been rooted and not rooted and both do the same thing)
currently i do not have cellular service on either droid-x
both droid-x`s are currently running 4.5.602 OTA rooted (but i have tested stock and they do same thing)
both phones are setup to use wifi 100% of the time
"settings/wireless & networks/Wi-Fi settings/menu key/advanced/Wi-Fi sleep policy/never" = checked on
"settings/wireless & networks/Mobile networks/System select/Automatic" = checked on
"settings/Battery & data manager/Data Delivery/Background data" = checked on
"settings/Battery & data manager/Data Delivery/Data roaming" = checked off
"settings/Battery & data manager/Data Delivery/Data enabled" = checked off
"settings/Battery & data manager/Data Delivery/Social applications/Sync over Wi-Fi only" = checked on
"settings/Battery & data manager/Data Delivery/Social applications/Data delivery frequency/Automatic (Push)" = checked on
"settings/Battery & data manager/Battery mode/Performance mode" = checked on
on my desktop i login to my hotmail with chrome browser (windows 7 x64) i then send an email to my gmail account
when i do this i have google chrome setup with notifications and it notifies me i got an email
on my phone when screen is black (locked) i sometime get a notification and sometimes i do not
with skype for android
i pick up my home phone and call my skype number
sometimes i will hear it ring and alot of times it goes straight to voice mail
i can confirm with froyo everything worked 100% of the time
you know when your phone hasnt rang all day something is really wrong
same thing for gmail...i get email`s from spam at least 4x a day and i hear it on my google chome browser for my windows 7 pc and about 1/5 the time i will get a notification on my phone....
there is something majorly wrong for sure
i dont know what other apps have push settings.
is there a way to find out what apps are supposed to be syncing?
on my router i checked the logs and the phones are staying connected 100% of the time
not one drop in like 3 days unless i reset the phones or something
there is a sync/push issure for sure with gingerbread
can someone else verify their gmail push by setting their phone to the settings i have above (if applicable) and then logging into another email account and send yourself a gmail email?
check to see if your sync/push is working
i am betting its not working on any apps consistantly
let me know
little more info to add
if i turn my phone to off
i then turn my phone to on and let it boot to the lock screen but i "do not" unlock it and i let it goto sleep and if i wait like an hour and try to send me an email or call my android skype number none of that will make it to my phones`s
if i hit the "back" button to look at the "locked screen"
i can then see my "wifi" and "cellular" are white in the notification area instead of the normal blue.
if i then unlock my phone and let it boot to the desktop the "wifi" and "cellular" will turn blue and then i will recieve my emails and skype notifications
there is definately a bug somewheres....
more info:
after i am at desktop of phone and i let the phone fall asleep and i wait a little over an hour.
i then hit the back button i can see notification icons of the "WIFI" and "CELLULAR" they are still BLUE
i then slide to unlock....it goes to desktop and then after a couple seconds the "WIFI" and "CELLULAR" BLUE icons turn WHITE for about 15 seconds or so and then they go back to BLUE....and then i hear my email notifications and skype missed calls
this GB IS BAD!!!!
something majorly wrong with sync/push/wifi keeping connection but losing data or something
something just is not right

So your issue is that emails and skype isn't notifying you?
