Cannot send SMS - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi everyone,
Here is the problem:
Every now and then, my XDA II cannot send an SMS
(nothing happens when click on SEND).
Settings-Phone also cannot be accessed.
To remedy this, I have to either
- Turn OFF and ON the flight mode
- or soft reset
My ROM is 1.66.00WWE
Radio 1.08.00
I cannot find the cause of this.
I have NO other software installed.
Once I tried to click on many places to try to get out of this problem
but it just went into HARD reset.
Anyone has a fix to this? Much appreciated

I had the same problem. That sometimes I had to softreset to get SMS to work.
Now I have recently upgraded to ROM 1.72 and I haven't had the problem since, BUT it is not so long ago that I upgraded, so I cannot say that the problem absolutly has gone away.

I have the same problem on 1.72 ROM on a clean device (after HR, no progs installed). But this happens rather infrequently.

I have the same problem your sms is kept in the Draft folder and after a soft reset you can go into Drafts and resend. inconvenient yes, but not much trouble.

hi, also had that problem! But it's working now!

Bummer, just got the same error state. So an upgrade to 1.72 does not work. Sorry.

JJ Freezes on Arrival of a new SMS

Now that the honeymoon period is over I have started noticing a few problems with the JJ. The most serious I noted is that when the JJ has gone through some use after its last soft reset it tends to freeze when a new text message arrives in the in-box. This does not happen when the JJ has been freshly soft reset and only when some time has passed since it was last soft reset. Since I have set the unit to vibrating alert on receipt of a new message the vibrator continuously starts operating and the phone freezes. To stop the vibrator you need to do a soft reset again.
Anybody had this problem??? I am planning to do a hard reset and see what happens.
Regards
Definitely related to some software that you have installed. I use sms everyday and havent faced any such problem.
Yes it does freezes your device when you receive new SMS, some time even I lost the SMS which was coming tru,..
Once I lost the MMS Account itself, then had to go for softreset and got it back again...
I've had the same thing happening. Very annoying. That's just Microsoft as we know it. We can't get out of the habbit of frequent softresets.
I did a complete ROM upgrade today and I replaced the Arabic ROM which came preinstalled on my JJ with the english version as available at the clubimate site. Without installing any 3rd party software I tested the SMS freezing problem and unfortunately it is very much there. This at least proves that no 3rd party software is to blame for this.
Now I am thinking that maybe I will have to dispose of the JJ as I so much depend on text messaging. The worst part is that as the JJ freezes on arrival of a new SMS the message itself is also lost and after doing the soft reset you can never tell from whom the message was.
I will really appreciate if anyone can help
Kind Regards

If you have an SD card inserted try removing it and see if the problem persist.
What i dont get is why this problem is unique to a very small percentage of devices. Many of use the device for SMS quite frequently and dont face this problem. I wonder what the triggering factor is.

I have this problem since I updated my ROM.
I posted this a few days back that the Jasjar tends to hang not all the time but most of the time when a new SMS arrives and in fact the SMS is also lost when you recover after a soft reset.
I thought that I will re-post this question because now more users would have had more experience with their Jasjars. For me this problem does not seem to go. I have tried even a hard reset and the problem keeps coming back even with no third party software installed.
I shall be obliged if anyone else who has had this problem may kindly post his views because this may put some pressure on the people at i-mate to come up with a fix. I fear that since this problem is being faced by a very small minority of JJ users a fix may never see the light of the day.
Kind Regards
I have a himalaya device with WM5 and have the exact same 'sms-lockup' problem.
Also, somethimes all the incoming calls are forwarded to my voicemail, even when my phone ison and the signal is strong and im not using my device. This can only be solved by a reset or after i made a call myself. Till that time no-one could call me!
The problems started when i installed another WM5-rom and a new radio-rom( 1.18 ). This was the first time a upgraded the radio-rom, so i think this could be the problem.
Im going to install the older radio-rom ver1.08 (recommanded in combi with WM5 by buzzdef.net). I hope this solves it!
I to have the same problem... Every time you open a new text message or even after sending message and when you get delivery report it freezes and you will have to reset.. but if you are in the middle of a call the phone still works fine but not able to use the PDA part because its freeze...
Have installed another, older, radio-rom( 1.08 ) and used it for almost a week... no freezes sofar!! I dont know if this rom can be used for a Universal device...
Just uncheck the "turn off device after..." option in battery settings and this problem will go away.
This was pointed out by user Khaled in another thread.
im also experiencing this after i upgraded to Second Edition. my Himalaya tends to freeze when receiving SMS. applications starts to slow down but will eventually recover after the SMS receipt notification, no need for softresets. i also noticed that currently, it would take about 10 seconds before SMS notification appears in the screen. im sure about this because i would know that an SMS is coming because my computer monitor, adjacent to my XDA, would flicker. so the turn-around time from the flickering of the monitor to the SMS notification would last around 10-12 seconds. is this normal?
I was so fed up with the SMS freezing problem that I sold my Jasjar, albeit at a much loss and exchanged it for a new one.
Just my bad luck the problem is also there on my 2nd Jasjar. It is exactly the same as the one I have sold. When I get a new SMS the unit freezes and has to be soft reset. Please note that this does not happen every time but say 1 in 10 times. Anyways this makes the whole system very unreliable. When your phone is in your pocket and an SMS causes it to freeze you will never know if now somebody tries to make an urgent call because your unit is not responding.
I have also tried the remedy / fix mentioned in this fourm to to Uncheck Turn Off Device but does not work.
My only hope is that this problem is fixed in the next ROM upgrade.
In the meantime I am evaluating prospects of leaving the WM platform altogether and going for a Nokia 9500
a friend just adviced me that it was my Radio version that is causing the problem. 1.18 has a lot of bugs including this freezing issue. so he suggested that i reflash my ROM and go back to Radio version 1.17. could somebody point me where the bug issues of 1.18 are listed here in the forum? thanks

Text messages disappearing

Hi,
I have recently upgraded my wizard to the newest imate rom. I'm finding it better however one 'feature' i dont like is that my sms/mms messages seem to all disappear every time i soft reset. I'm sure the old xda mini s rom didnt do this so is there a workaround ?
thanks,
malty
It happened to me once, a couple of weeks after a succesful upgrade. Couldn't find a workaround myself so i hard reseted the device and everything was fine ever after.
Cheers....

SMS missing after reboot.

Hi,
I've noticed that sometimes after rebooting my MDA Pro some SMS are missing. Usually the once I had received within about 2hours of reseting the device.
How long should I have to wait before they are saved to a more permanent storage?
usually it never happens that it deletes it by itself even i have never heard abt this b4 . Did u upgraded it recently or ne other sms software installed ,that might b the reason for it.
I have the exact same problem... very frustrating! I just have the plain O2 software installed on my Exec, but any texts I get within about 30 mins of resetting just go. I heard it takes a while so put them in the permanent memory - why is this? Anyone know of a fix?
Davey
Good(?!?) to hear its not just me. I've had the problem on every version I've had installed.
A fix for this would be great!

I've quite often elaborated on this problem and the solution to it (see for example http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=898&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ): make sure you entirely power down (simple suspending won't suffice with a Phone Edition device) the PPC BEFORE (or, instead of) resetting it. It will make sure the changes are flushed back to Flash ROM.
I have read somewhere in this forum that this can be solved my switching of (button at the left) and again switching it on before doing a soft reset. I didn't try it however.

[PROBLEM] Suddenly no signal & no working connections

Hi,
I have a problem with my Diamond.
I use my phone nearly without switching it off. About every 5 days my device loses his signal and stops every connection. Unfortunately not with showing me.
It still shows signal strength and connected status of HSDPA, but there is no connection anymore. If I'm called they are connected directly to my mailbox. I no longer recieve SMS and I'm no longer online. I can only notice this problem, because I cannot send an email or sms, cannot make a call or surf the web.
Strangely the fault is gone, when switching flight mode on, then switching phone back on (with PIN).
Anybody an idea on how to fix this. Did this happen for someone.
May I try a radio upgrade?
Please answer asap.

On the german forum called "HTC Developers" I found a thread similar to my problem.
A lot of people had the same issue and it was often mentioned together with cleanRAM. Some noticed that the problem first happened after installing the app. But nobody could really reproduce the problem.
I will try to reproduce it by only uninstalling cleanRAM.
If the problem persists; cleanRAM is not the problem!
Any other ideas?
I have / had exactly the same problem with my Touch Cruise. (polaris).
I think it has to do whit browsing internet.
The first week I had received a boardswap from HTC, ofcourse still the problem.
Occured last month when I was using lots of wifi I noticed.
Now I upgrade my radio, in the hope it is fixed.
Maybe you can try another radio version to.

I'm not using wifi connections. I already thought of upgrading my radio, but that is the last thing I want to do.
Just for my knowledge: are you using cleanRAM, too?
I'm already in discussion with ronenpg. Until now he says that cleanRAM can't be the problem, but perhaps it's a process I'm killing while cleaning.
i used shipped wm 6.1 from htc touch cruise.
only installed opera beta.. which i thought was the problem.
upgrading radio isnt that big of a hassle.
ronenpg told me that cleanRAM can't be the problem. It only handles software not the hardware.
But as a hard reset is my last way I will wait and see what happens.
So far:
2 days without losing connection after uninstalling cleanRAM!
Work Around
Turn on airplane mod and then back to phone

Yep This is exactly the only thing to get the phone back working.
But only until every connection "freezes"!
So far:
Did not happen again after uninstalling cleanRAM.
edit:
Too bad. It just happened over night. So it definitly can't be a cleanRAM issue. What can I do next?
Radio update?
Where can I get one from?
Does a radio update delete all the system data similar to a hard reset/ROM update?
It will sound weird, but may Opera Mobile 10 cause that problem?
After upgrading to the latest release b3, the issue seems to be solved!
Let's wait and see.

[ROM1.66 Dutch] Sms problem

Hey guys,
Despite the fact that I have installed this latest rom (1.66), I'm still having the sms problem. They dont get stuck or anything, they just never arrive, and this happens alot, which is really frustrating.
Since no one is still complaining about it, I'm wondering if the problem only hasn't been fixed in the dutch release of this rom.
I did notice, theres also a minor sms update, which says its for 1.66 and lower. But this update has been released before the rom was released.
I'm not sure if this will fix my problem, and since it can't be uninstalled, I'd like to know your experiences with this.
Thanks
Bump, anyone? This bug is annoying the hell out of me.

Not saying that it isn't the device, but have you tried another phone to see if they arrive on that?
I had similar issues with my old Nokia E90, and it turned out to be a network issue (they had to remove a corrupt message from the server)

Yes, I have tried my old Nokia N95 also, which went well. Messages just sometimes do, and sometimes dont arrive. Resetting doesn't change anything, neither does it make not-yet-sent messages, be sent.
Steef have you solved your issue already?I had this issue on rom 1.48 dutch as well, after x applying the htc fix it happens rarely now.very annoying that htc does not seem to be able to fix this issue.
since my sent sms would be sent if I soft reset my device if the problem appears, I guess your problem may be of different cause. I have read that a hard reset fixes the problem for some people.
I would like to know when and how you fix your issue...
