hi
after using my o2 exec for a day in normal mode i decided to hard reset and use the corporate 0506 as i am not using an o2 sim.
firstly i noticed the battery monitor changed to a crappy one and now it has completly disappeared.
and now i can not send a text message without getting the stylus out, when i go to switch accounts i just get a little box pop up, and i have to click on the inbox with the stylus to change to text messages.
ok nothing major, but i think i prefered it before with the basic o2 setup?
This will help...

Just got a new XDA2 and I'm having a strange problem with text messages. I send a text as a single message ( less than 160 characters ) but at the other end it arrives as three seperate texts. The message appears to be broken up randomly, often broken in mid word. This has happened with messages sent to several different people including one on O2 like me so it seems its not a cross network problem. I've tried changing the phone for a new one and that didint solve it and if I use the same sim card in my old T68i everything is fine... Anyone else experieneced this ?? Any advice very welcome as O2 dont seem to have a clue...

Hi Gavin!
Same problem here , what extras are you running? I have battery pack 2004, MS voice, Games pack 2. then in my inbox 112 sms, sent items 107. also running check notifications. Sound more like an O2 problem :evil: . Anyway let me know if you managed to resolve the problem!
MerryXmas & Happy New Year! :lol:
Kind regards :wink: Jim.
I also had this problem with my MDA II, but only once. Since then, (and even after at least 6 Hard Resets) everything seems to work out fine.
Don't know what causes this problem, but maybe it helps you to know that I had this one in spite of using t-mobile.
MDA II
I dont know if this is related but when I use ' even at less than 160 the messages become split into 2 or more. But when i remove the ' it goes back to the original unsplit form, so I avoid using ' in my sms.
It IS related, as that is the fault. If you do a search on these forums you'll find lots of posts about this...I've posted a few times myself.
You say you bought a new XDA2, I'd be interested in knowing whether this is NEW or new to YOU...in either case does the phone have IntelliPad and IntelliDialer installed? If so, then that would further back up my theory that it's the dictionary that IntelliPad, in particular, uses and causes the old unicode problem.
As advised before on these forums, try going to Inbox > Accounts > Accounts - SMS > "Send SMS messages using UniCode when necessary", and choose No on this option.
See if that helps.
Cheers
Anthony
hey guys
I had this problem for sooo long and really annoyed my girlfriend, lol!
But the solution is: Goto Settings => input => Wod Completion and turn of ' Replace text as you type'. It splits the message beacause as you type a word like "Im" it automaticlly changes it to "I'm" however the apostrophe in the middle is the curly kind n for some reason isnt supported by SMS. So as long as you send txts with striaght instead of curly apostrophes you should be fine. (well it worked for me! )

I put the O2 software on my MDA Pro and works fine except I have no data service.
I setup MMS settings as per t-mobile's online instructions - wont send and just says it will remain in outbox.
Setup GPRS settings manually (general.t-mobile.uk) and it wont connect, requested them via text on web interface and text never actually turns up - nothing ever shows on today screen / inbox but on phone alarm theres a line at the bottom which shows part of the latest text and each time I request the text it shows a load of jumbled chars which I presume is the settings text but it just never shows.
I tried the settings cab file from wizard forum, didnt do anything other than remove my background.
Anyone got any ideas?
ignore, sorted it out, all it took was a bloody soft reset
do u find the o2 software better or are u planning to use a o2 sim??
Hi all,
This topic started in 'general' but would be better placed here. If anyone has any more input please reply here - I think this is currently the biggest problem with the out-the-box v1605.

I sent an email to HTC today and they told me there is no update...
This is still an issue
It apparently seems that the problem is only for Vodafone or Vodafone Group (SFR for example) users.
Any update on this issue ? This is really annoying....
Nothing I have heard yet. Apparently 242 mail notification works - but to sign up for this you have to get a code sent as SMS - and guess what - this SMS never turns up too!!!

I upgraded to the new HTC ROM but this has made no difference to the voicemail SMS issue

You can register at http://www.vodafone.net where you can set your alerts to be delivered by SMS. You need to enter your phone number for it to send a service SMS containing a passcode to, so you need to have your SIM a phone that you can get them on, ie not your v1605!! Once you've done that, you can put your SIM back into your v1605 and you'll then get SMS alerts for your voicemails and even the little answerphone icon in your top bar!!

I have finally taken this to the step of raising a technical ticket with Vodafone. After 3 days they came back to me saying it was definately the v1605 handset However, in order to try everything they are replacing my 5 year old SIM with a new one to see if that helps.
Hopefully this will at least solvev the problem of the vodafone,et registration SMS messsages not making it to my SIM no matter what phone it is on. At least then I can move to 242 instead....

as Matho indicates above, i have the v1605 as well as the Tytn and i have subscribed to 242 which now gives me voicemail text and icon.....
follow my thread indicated above, it's not the sim, it's the way the hermes variants handle the 'silent' sms texts that vodafone use for voicemail on their older 121 service
with 242 you can still even dial 121 from home or abroad and still pick up the same messages!! the voicemail icon and text service on 242 is much better than text or (annoying) dial every 3 seconds with vodafone 121
This is driving me mad - could not get the vodafone.net registration to work (it never delivers the autentication SMS) and my 121 has now also stopped 'alerting and delivering'. Vodafone sent me a new SIM but this has had no affect. I have tried the new SIM in a K750i but nothing. However, put my other (personal) vodafone SIM in my TyTN and I get the authentication SMS through straight away??? Could this be something to do with my main number being a business number and not a personal one?

I know it will not help, but my vodafone sim was also a business one and it worked 1st time
I haven't looked, but is there a way to repeat the signup process by selecting a 'forgotten password' option on the vodafone.net site? then put the sim into your k750 just at the point that the site sends out the sms confirmation.....I used a windows smartphone to get my sms so if you can get it on that I am sure the k750 will !
I hope you can get it work, it is a fantastic service
The problem is the same with all operators, it is a problem on the ROM. The only solution will be a ROM upgrade...
Suddenly at 22:00 last night I had 7 SMS messages come through - each with their own authentication string!!! Some 10 hours after my first attempt of the day. I went back to vodafone.net and registered again - worked first time. I am not ure if Vodafone did anything or maybe my new SIM neeed some time????
ALSO - it worked using the TyTN to recieve the authentication SMS - did NOT have to use another phone! I now have SMS notification and the *new* voicemail icon - excellent!
Rich (much happier)
Most excellent advice !
Subscribed last night and get text messages and the voicemail icon, even when roaming abroad now too !
Thanks all.
Just to add my two-pence worth to this subject.
I've just spent ages trying to sort out this problem!
I've got a v1605 on vodafone.....
I signed up to www.vodafone.net email, fax and voicemail facility (and managed to get the security SMS through ok) and all was looking good with my new mail/voicebox until I left myself a voicemail.
I got a SMS through saying I had a new voicemail to listen to, and the little O_O......I phoned 242 (or hit dial on the popup message), and was told I had no new messages :shock: - and as previous people have said the notification O_O wouldn't go away!!
As I soon discovered, dialing 242 on my mobile wasn't going through to the new service, it was going through to my old voicemail. If I dial my new voicemail box number (0788... number which I was given when signing up to vodafone.net) and press 9, and enter my PIN, I was taken through to the CORRECT mailbox, which had my message in it. After I heard that, the notification icon on the phone disappeared.
So for some reason dialing 242 isn't going through to the correct mailbox....I'm wondering whether this is something which will take a few hours to resolve.
I'll try again tomorrow, but if anyone has a solution let me know
Cheers people
you need to change the default number in the phone options.
goto phone, options, services, voicemail,get settings
in the voicemail box, I had 121 and still have but it seems to go through fine if it is on 242.......
each vodafone customer has a unique mobile number for answermachine but we can all access via 121 or 242....it was designed to use abroad when 121 was not always available, but most countries now support the use of 121 / 242
but, you may have noticed when you signed up at vodafone.net that you were given a new answer number (i think you can check it on the log in page).....if you are travelling where you can't get 121/242 or simply you have got used to entering your pin, put the new number in the voicemail settigs box in the phone app
hope it helps!
I updated my voicemail number to 242 in the phone settings.
I just tried 242 again, and it still goes through to the OLD 121 voicemail.
Hi Guys, i do not have a vodafone subscription so i don't have your problem. But i know there is some feature in wm5 where you can use incoming sms messages that meet given filter criteria to trigger a send/receive for an email account and collect your mail. thus an sms notification for new mail can be used to create a form of pushmail. if the sms message meets the filter criteria, you will never see the sms message. it just starts silently to get your email
on this link http://www-rocq.inria.fr/who/Arnaud.Porterie/projects/PushMail/
you will find a program that can make these settings. Could it be the case that on your phones this sms filter is activated by default for sms messages coming from your voicemail number but with no action attached to is. this could explain why messages vapourize
if this is the case perhaps you could switch this feature of with the program in the attachted link.
I have managed to get the Voicemail SMS Alerts to work.
I followed the link and regsitered and i recieved the sms with the code on my Voda Tytn and it did say it will take upto 24 hours.
I tested it and left a VM and it still did not work.
As i had errors, i ended up reflashing my phone again with the latest dopod version and did not modify the extended rom.
as soon as it booted up, i got the alert and it seems to working fine now.
I also managed to get all the Vodafone Connection Settings Back.
Use :
Vodafone_Contract_UK_PPC_V2.0.CAB

This will setup your GPRS, 3G MMS etc.

Right,
Tytn on Orange (UK)
using Oranges latest rom release.
The issue is when i perform a Soft reset the device loses recent SMS messages.
sometimes its just the last recieved message, sometimes its all the messages recieved in the last hour or so.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Maybe you left "message" app. open when you reset the device? If you use some software to reset the phone, the software maybe automaticly close the opened applications before the reset for you. But the pin hole doesn't.So use some software instead of the pin hole,or close the opened app. before you reset the device.Just give the chance of saving data to the applications.
Yes, I remember this isssue a while and back and used to have exactly the same problem. I don't have it anymore since using the WM 6.1 ROM's with the threaded SMS or if I use the Palm threaded SMS app.
Thanks, I'll give those things a try, and i'll see if Orange have got round to releasing WM6 for the hermes, I'd quite like WM6, but also quite like the simplicity of orange's "it just works" releases.
I don't know if anyone else has encountered this problem, but it seems to me my SMS/MMS manager is messed up. I had a SMS conversation with 2 contacts and they received all my messages at once, 3 times.. I also received several errors at once "message could not be delivered, stored as concept" (needed to press 10 times OK). I received a MMS but couldn't download it (mms worked perfect with my previous phone). I sent 3 MMS's, but only the first one was received. When I try to open "sent items" my manager "blocks" (and does weird things when I keep scrolling down), but I can go back to the other folders. Is it normal that every message I sent is stored in Outbox?
Another q, how can I display "time" in my topbar? I know it was possible with my P3600, but since HTC Home it's a bit difficult to find this (non-existing) option.
Thanks.
I don't have this problem with my Snap - I have an unlocked HTC-branded device (not obtained from a network provider), OS details as per my signature. You?
To get the clock to show in the Windows Mobile Standard icon bar you need ClockOnTop.exe - there's no facility to put the time and date there otherwise (as you could with Windows Mobile Professional).
See here.
Thanks, I got the clock installed now.
I also have an unbranded HTC device. ROM: 1.19.404.1, Radio: 3.45.25.30A.
So you can access "sent items" without a problem? And your outgoing messages, are they stored in "Outbox" or "Sent items"?
I did something wrong during the first setup of my device:
When asked for my internet connection, I pressed "cancel" since my internet provider wasn't listed. Therefore the setup of my device wasn't completed and that's why my message system was driving mad. Probably also the result of receiving a few messages before completion.
I performed a hard reset, chose a random provider and everything's working fine now!
SOLVED!

Allright mate
You got it solved!
Thread can be closed
Well I had the same problem and it was really screwed up, my settings were listed and applied. That night it sent my messages time after time to all the contacts I sent messages to previously. I thought there would be something wrong in the network but my operator ensured me the messages originated from my device at a +- 10 minute pace.
I contacted HTC support in the Netherlands, I was told to do a hard reset and it was fixed. I recommend hard resetting all new Snap devices upon first use to eliminate this problem. I also received a message from a fellow new-Snap-owner who had the same problem, so watch out with this as it will tear up your phone bill!
My Snap is unlocked HTC branded and everything else seems perfectly fine!
Thanks for the clockontop tip btw!
ozone unlocked
