I currently have an XDA I and expecting an i-Mate XDA II in a week or so. Has anyone else experienced SMS Spam? I get about 30 SMS Spam message a day !!! My current XDA I is through AT&T and they said they need SMS to download software updates. Although, my XDA II will be an i-Mate and not supported by AT&T, therefore I should be able to turn SMS off.
Is there any way to turn SMS off on the XDA II?
Thanks.
Mate, afaik there is a law in the States protecting you against it. You need to register with a service. Dunno though if it's with AT&T or provider independant.
Thanks, I'll check into that.
Dunno if it's a "system command" but here in Holland we can block (commercial) SMS by sending "stop" to "255"
(w/o quotes ofcourse :roll: )
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,
having a problem with my xda 2 and messages recieved when sent from other phones, basically what happens is that when i or someone sends a txt message to me or i send to them (on a sonyericsson, nokia etc) and my message contains "return spaces" (new line) on the other phones it doesnt come up on a new line the message is all on the same line just with more spaces in between the text, this also happens when i recieve a message which is supposed to have new lines in the message; it all just comes up in one continuous line.
eg.
If i wrote:
im going out to london
Cya there!
On any other phone i send to (particualrly nokia, sonyerisson; as these are the only phones i have tested against) would come up as:
im going out to london cya there!
And vice versa if anyone sent me a msg reading:
Meet U there
Dont be late!!!
On my XDA 2 it would come up as:
Meet U thereDont be late!!!
quite annoying really! especially when you get those messages which make pictures, etc.
Let me know if annyone else has the same problem, or knows of a way to fix this! Thanks
Hey guys,
As previously stated, I'm a noob, so I'll be posting some dumb questions (after searching and reading stickies, obviously...) over the next few weeks/months as I get used to the Legend (aka the JesusPhone). One of the things that sucked most about having an iPhone was the fact that there's no real community around apple products, and having people at XDA help you out is one of the best parts about WinMo/Android ownership.
My question concerns an app called SMS Popup which somebody in this forum recommended. It's great - wakes the phone on SMS, gives lots of settings and options to customise the popup that appears, etc. I'm having one really annoying problem with it though.
I've got the app set to mark the message as Read when I hit Close on the popup that appears upon receiving a new SMS. This way, when it's a short message that I don't need to reply to, I don't need to both going into the messaging app to read/delete it.
Except it doesn't work.
Whenever I try to do this - whenever I close a message, or choose to reply to it - the messaging app on my home screen has the notification badge for 1 unread message.
Has anybody else encountered this problem/could anybody suggest a solution?
Not a big deal, but kinda annoying, as I have to manually go in and either read or delete each message to make it stop reminding me that I have a message I've already read.
Cheers
Try reinstalling. If it still occurs, the problem might be in the settings or it is a bug.
Try Handcent SMS...
This is a known problem with phones that use HTC Sense UI, as HTC does not offer an API to tell the home screen icon to "refresh" itself. The message itself is still likely being marked "read" if you go into the actual messaging app.
There is an FAQ covering this on the SMS Popup google code site (search for "sms popup android faq" (sorry I can't post links as it says I'm too new).

Thanks Adam, I'll just have to get used to it
I have an HTC EVO 4G shift. My SMS and MMS settings are set to request "delivery reports" as well as "read reports" for each message I send.
However if I send a message and click on "view" it just says "Message Details" Type: Sms message from ####
I already know that much!!
I want to be able to see if message was received and whether or not it was read. Please help!
This is my first Android and I am loving it but need to fix this glitch. This particular feature of seeing if messages have been received/read is important to me.
thank you!!
Don't quote me on this but I read somewhere about this same issue and from what I gathered it depends on the service provider if they have it set up to "ping back" to your phone and vice versa whether or not a message was received... Sprint I don't think has that type of service enabled or don't use it altogether. I believe that's more of a gsm network feature if anything..it just happens to be included in an OS so its as complete and least fragmented than another phone with same OS. I had the same feature on a Windows 6.1/6.5 phone and it didn't do anything either. If anyone has anything to add please do so but that's my understanding. Hope that might explain it to a certain extent.
