Hi Guys,
i have a MDA Vario and I love that thing. But I recognized with the time.. that SMS are blocked. Over night I turn off my phone and when I turn it on the next morning, no message is coming. A lot of my friends asked me if i got their message last night.. They sent it to me after i have turned it off. And on the morning i didn´t got anything. No message.
Last week i registered myself on a Website where a SMS-Registration was necessary. I clicked on "send the Message". The MDA Vario blinked up.. and I expected that it will ring and signalize the message. But nothing. I never got a message. The SMS is lost till now. And i´m afraid that there are some more messages which got lost.
Does anyone recognized the same Problems like me? Or can anybody help me? :?:
Thx
Maresch
where are my new messages?
got the same problem. SMSs just stopped comming. i started using sprite backup - the only change in used programs.
hardresetted device works, but after restore: no go. even microsoft activesync backup restores settings with no SMS...
any thoughts on this?

This MAY NOT be your case, but...
Sometimes (although the "nice" people at Sprite Software won't recognize it), after restoring a backup made with sprite backup, the SMS inbox folder (and sometimes even other folders like draft and trash) stop working. The effect varies:
you may see "x messages unread" but the new messages are not visible.
you may never see new messages.
the new message notification can stop working, with or without the other symptoms.
recovering from this problem is difficult: the easiest way is, ofcourse, and hard reset. if you want, SMS Organizer can still extract the messages from the damaged database most of the times.
SMS lost - not received
This is interesting - I have posted exactly the same behaviour - only some SMS received.
I can recreate the problem that you describe almost at will - It is not related to any backup software - it happens on a "virgin" XDA after hard reset without anything being loaded or even an Active sync attempted.
bottom line is: put your XDA in a spot where the reception is weak and switch it off. Send two messages to the phone. It will wake up trying to receive the first message. It will loose the network and re-aquire, but no SMS will be received. (although a confirmation message will be sent) - as it is awake now it will receive the second message. The first one will be lost forever.
I have upgraded ROM to no avail. I had it in for repair twice - still same problem. O2 has now agreed to exchange the unit. I will keep you posted.
My concern on reading this is, that this is an issue with the unit itself.
Certainly hope I dont have any issues as I send and receive a lot of sms messages and any kind of failure like this would mean the phone being sent back and contract cancelled unless I can find a different phone that interests me. Unlikely as I was only considering this or the XDA Exec.

Maybe someone could help me with this:
after using the Qtek S100 for some time I can't receive SMSs anymore, only send them. If someone sends me an SMS my device would wake from standby, the screen would turn on but no SMS can be seen in my inbox. Only a hard reset would help.
Anyone recognizes this problem?
you bet I do
see my posts and many related in here -
strangely nobody seems to acknowledge that problem-
you describe EXACTLY my symptoms and the ones of a few others.
I had my XDA repaired by O2 twice (which did not solve the problem) and now they have agreed to exchange it. I am now just worried that on reading here in the forum that this is a general problem with the XDA - receveiving SMS when waking up. Proof is - put it in a spot where the reception is weak and switch it off. Send two messages to yourself - it will wake up, loose the network, re- aquire and ONLY receive the second message - although you will get two delivery messages.

I have had the same problem. I discovered that it was caused by a backup software, i don't remember if it was sprite backup or something else.
Hope it helps
Bye
@Karol
Karol - yes there were references in the forum to backup SW -
but I can recreate this behaviour at will on a "virgin" XDA after a Hard reset BEFORE any SW is loaded or even a first Active sync. So this instance of the problem is definitely not related to any installed SW
Dear All,
thanks for your replies. It is indeed a tricky thing.
One thing I observed is that after a hard reset it works for some time and then it happens again. The periods that its working are variable. Sometimes even for weeks. I tried to do a Sprite backup while it's working, hoping that a restore would fix the probelm. Well, it doesn't. A restore of a backup done while it works will not fix it.
In my case only a hard reset helps.
So, what Iive done now, is make a SPRITE backup WITHOUT the "Email" section and a backup with xBACKUP, the standard backup software in the Magician. When the problem appears, I will try both and give feedback.
Regards.
I have been using my Jam for about 6 months, at first times everything was fine but for 3 motnhs i can send SMS but can not get ! I tried a lot of possibilities ( checking the SIM card on other phones, using another SIM card on JAM, reinstalling the GPRS & WAP settings, checking the SMS center # etc. ) and the device is fully funcitonal but so far nothing solved my problem. I love my phone and this little problem makes me very upset. I hope its not a hardware problem, it seems to me like an interfered and disfunctional network settings made accidentally by me, but im not sure. Please someone have an idea to end this problem help me !
Corrupt inbox?
It could as well be your settings I guess but if nothing else helps maybe you have the more extreme problem I had...
I got a corrupt inbox after doing a restore using an older version of pocket backup (turned out to be a well known problem...). The OS just throwed away incoming SMS's due to the corruption. Had to hard reset to get it working again.
Try to send a sms from a friend's phone with delivery notification set, and see if the sms is recieved or not. If it is noted as recieved by your network but not displayed in your inbox you could have the same problem as I did. /Patrick
Thats right. Sprite Backup, restoring causes this error but they fixed it in their later versions. If your problem arised after a restore, head into sprite' website and they have a small tool to flush inbox, distributed to those who got this sms error.
If not, a hard-reset could solve the problem!
I did hard format Carty, even 3 times since the problems begins, i hard formatted the device and reinstall the ROM, it didnt change the situation.
oi,
i (and it seems like others as i´ve read in a german forum do as well) have serious problems with sending sms.
- some of them arrive twice
- some of them arrive in a "scrambled" way ...like mixed up with old ones
- and sometimes old ones are being sent a second time
this does not happen all the time - and it happens with several recipients.
i´m using a "naked" o2 trion. no other software (well, total commander and a media player) installed. it also happend back in the days when i used my t-mobile card with it.
this is really pissing me off ...because some of the recipients already think that a) their mobile is the prob. b) i´m nuts or an idiot who´s too stupid to send a simple text message
and help, hint, suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same Problem (sending SMS twice) ..
but I'm not sure if it's really a Problem based on the device, cause the double SMS are only billed once! (at least on my account)
And as I have been told only people using other Providers get my SMS twice..
never heard of any fellow T-Mobile User getting my SMS twice...
so it seems to be a combine Problem of HTC Devices (got that error since MDA1) and our Providers
did you force your network to gsm or umts?
or does it auto-switch depending on where you are located?
Sending twice happened to me when I disabled the 'message sent' warning and was closing the messages program before that warning would have appeared if it were active.
It was as though the machine sent the message quickly, but when the program got shut down too soon, was not sure it had done that and just sent it again.
Since re-enabling that warning and waiting each time for it I have had no more trouble.

well I think this is exactly the point...
just keep the messaging software running and you won't have any problems
Sms sending 2 or 3 times
I'm not sure that above solution is true for all. I often get a specif notification saying message cannot be sent, but in fact it has been. Tendency is to send again and again still getting not sent message. Recipient ends up with several messages. I was given number of someone at HTC who seemingly can talk through a solution for this one. Don't have number to hand but will post later, nor have I spoken to them yet.
re my last post, I was given following info:
If you call HTC support Hot line they will talk you though how to resolve this..
The number is - 0845 8900079
It could just be a coincidence....
but ever since I've had my HD, I'm losing text messages. I've had people say they've sent me a text but I've never received them. I've even sat next to someone and got them to send me a text (with delivery reports turned on) and it says it's been delivered, but the text never arrived.
it happens randomly though so difficult to trace.
Like I said, it could just be coincidence, but this morning I went to my phone and found 4 text messages sat in my outbox that hadn't been sent...no warning, no alarm, they just never went. I had to reset my phone before they would go.
I'll give O2 a call but I know the response I'm going to get...nothing wrong that they can see!!!
starting to get frustrating as I could have missed lots of important texts
This is strange indeed. Have you also tried looking in the full inbox? Not just in TouchFlo 3D...
I don't use TF3D so it wont be that. I've just set up bluebook on o2 so if messages appear in there but not on my phone then I'll know it's a system problem and not a phone problem.
and since the O2 customer service system has been down ever since I got my phone they can't even help me look into it!!
Hi,
Had my phone for a few days and found the forum here incredibly useful. I've not had any major problems so far with the HD2, and am getting used to the capacitive screen after previously using resistive.
One issue I have found is that SMS messages keep getting stuck in the outbox and are not sent. I've checked and re-checked the settings (I'm using it with O2) without much success.
Soft Reset the device and it seems to work again for a time, before eventually the problem re-occurs.
Another thing I've noticed is when restarting the device, it comes up with a message 'Cannot Connect - Dialed: The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings.'
It comes up just before I enter the Pin Code. Whether this is related I'm not sure?
Has anyone else had similar problems or am I doing something wrong thats blindingly obvious.
Thanks
Nick
I have the same problem. SMS messages being stuck in outbox.
Not done any troubleshooting so far except removing the battery and restarting.

Update your ROM. This problem is over a year old and that's always been the solution.
