i recently upgraded the rom on my wizard and now when i switch it on i get a "message from network" notification telling me what area code to use for where i am.
This morning i kept getting the message every 10 seconds until i switched flight mode on and then off.
Is there a registry setting to turn off this annoying, unwelcomed addition.
Thanx
I'm meeting this problem either...Can't find a way to fix it...
these are cell broadcast messages.
Some networks have them, most don't.
You can switch off receiving these messages via Phone / options / More / Broadcast Channels.
Sometimes when you switch on the phone you might such a message anyway.
@edsub
No,that option has been switched off yet.Thanks anyway.
Hmmm,must be something within the ROM.I just replaced all the shortcut in startup folder,no good.The message is really annoying...

I have a new Prophet (Jamin) and I'm getting the same annoying message mostly when I do a soft reset. The other day it started giving these stupid messages again and again every few seconds. There were at least 10 network messages in a row. I have gone to phone settings and sent the settings to the network in every category. Now it seems to only happen when I soft reset...sometimes.
I flashed new I-mate ROM.This issue has gone.I've been with Qtek,O2,I-mate and T-Mob.Seems only T-Mob Rom makes this trouble...

I normally have my Mini S on suspend when it's in the pouch. I have for some reason been unable to recieve messages. The last SMS I got was from O2 when I turned the phone on the 1st time. Can anyone help me out on this? I don't really need MMS...just SMS.
Not receiving? or not getting the notification?
If its not receiving, how long has it been? networks sometimes get screwed up and hold messages in the server for ages. having said that "since i first turned the phone on" sounds like longer than 24 hrs.
Put the sim in another phone (if poss) - does it work?
I cant think of any real settings for SMS, they just arrive! If the SMS works in another phone follow it up here and hopefully someone will eb able to help. if it doesn't work in another phone, its a network issue - call O2.
If its the notifications you are missing, let us know - thats much easier!
I will give it a go in another phone but it's been a week since I turned the phone on. I'm not totally sure what you're referring to as notifications but I just don't see any messages when I go to the Text Messages folder in POE.
Ok...here's what I did, I stuck my sim into my friend's mobile and no backlog of SMSes arrived. I put the sim back in mine and then had him send me a message. Thing is the device was not suspended and I recieved the message immediately. I have my device normally in the suspend state. Could that be the problem?
I have my wizard in suspend (time out, press top button once etc) and have no problems picking up messages, they wake the device.
Notifications = the beep or sound for a text, wakes the device and puts the left softkey to show you have a SMS - it gives a preview there.
You say when you swapped out your sim you didn't get a backlog of messages so there isn't a load on the server waiting for you.
Last possible idea from me atm, you're not in the e-mail or MMS inbox are you? just checking
Well, I have checked the notifications and no, they're set as they should be and I do check the Text Messages folder. I have yet to setup email anyway :?
I wonder...if it's a network problem...damnable.
it sounds to me that its a phone issue not network. i'm on 02 and have now problem when my mini s is in stanby mode. it just switches on and beeps and a notification window appears.
cheers
Ok, now after subscribing to SMS.ac (just to send 1 single message and then terminate it) I got a total of 4 messages -1 confirmation for joining, 1 confirmation of joing, 1 test message, 1 cancellation message.
I cancelled when I noted that it was .5 / message :shock:. I'm puzzled. Maybe there was indeed a problem with the sim?

im having problems with my notifications of SMS, i recieve them fine but get no notification at all, i chack the sound settings and its all set up the same as standard but i get nothing any help??
Hello everyone,
Last week I upgraded to the hacked 2.17 ROM cooked by summiter for the Cingular 8125 and now I have a voicemail icon on the top and the left soft-button showing "notification" and neither won't go away even-though I have no voicemail. I soft-reset the device and unchecked the option in sounds and notifications but nothing seems to work.
HELP!
You are not alone and this seems to have nothing to do with summiters rom. Many cingular customers complained of this and cingular seems to be aware of the problem. When this happens to me, I call my number and leave a short message (or wait for someone else to leave one). Then I listen to the message waiting for the prompt to delete. I delete the message and then wait for the prompt to disconnect. I disconnect pressing the * button. Then the notification goes away-for me, at least. This problem has come and gone in the last couple of weeks but seems to be gone now for awhile.
It's happening with T-Mobile as well, so it must be something to do with the Wizard. After spending nearly 5 weeks on the problem with them doing everything from sending me a new phone to resetting my voicemail, over and over again, a lowly level 1 customer service rep asked if I had replaced the SIM card. I said I had not and that it hadn't been suggested. Anyway that did it.
Even the engineers couldn't figure it out. :roll:
Not just the wizard
This also happened, to both my wife's RAZR and my Treo, periodically. T-Mobile would feign ignorance, but others in the community with T-Mobile had the same problem.
Usually leaving yourself a message and then deleting it would fix the problem. I haven't yet encountered it with the MDA but in my experience it is a matter of time.
I find the inability to dismiss a notification annoying; sometimes I don't want to listen to a voicemail right away, or can't because I don't have a signal, but the notification keeps popping up until I do.
I had this happen to me earlier this week, but the problem eventually went away by itself. Since swapping SIMs seemed to work, it made me think:
Any of you using PPC Profiles Pro? A few times I've swapped profiles and gotten a "SIM 1 error" warning, so maybe that's connected?
Incidentally, I also had an issue where the power button would clear the screen but wouldn't turn the device off while I was in a particular profile, so I had to delete that profile...
This has happened on my Samsung phone with AT&T Wireless, the same phone with Cingular, my Razr with Cingular and my 8125 with Cingular.
The problem has nothing to do entirely with the Wizard, and I was told by an engineer that it could be an intrinsic fault in GSM systems.
Hi there, due to the fact that the search option doesn't work with less then 4 characters, i can't search for "sms".
But here's my real problem:
I've flashed different roms into my mda vario, after unlocking it. First the Molski.biz rom, then the last original t-mobile rom, but it was toooo slow, i've imediatly deleted it, en flashed the mr clean rom.
But in all roms i have some delay in recieving sms-messages.
Half the time they appear directly after they were sent by my friends, but sometimes i get them after a few hours. for example: it was sent at 15:00, and i received it at 17:30.
And sometimes i don't get any sms-messages, and after an soft-reset, i get 10 at one time, all delayed.
does anyone know what to do about it? or what causes it?
Regards,
Twan
i sometimes get this too though not often its usually when my phone loses signal and when it comes back into signal it wont recevie txt messages until i soft reset or send another txt out then ill get like 4 all at once lol.
Wizard isnt the best phone for txtin i must say as i send a good 1,000 txts a month and so far its poor.
Sounds like a network issue to me...
The network isn't registering the phone or something similar. For SMS the towers "push" the messages to the phone. Queuing them when they don't detect the phone on the network. If the phone is on the network and not getting the messages until it is reset and forced to re-acquire its signal than it is a network problem.
I've seen this problem on a few networks regardless of phone make and model.
I would agree with the above, its a provider issue not a phone issue.
I have a debate with Orange about 10 years ago about not getting text messeges when I loose and then regain service. I was told that when a text is sent to a phone that is off or lost a signal the message is stored until a set time has passed and then delivery is retried, thus getting all the messages at once. The way 'around' this is the disconnect the phone from the network and re-connect. This forces a scan of the message queues and again you will get all messages in one go.
I would assume going in to Flight Mode and back will do the same thing as a soft boot, but I have not tested this.
Okay,
so i could suggest it's not quitte an rom- or wizzard-issue, but a network-issue.
I also think going to flightmode and back will solve the problem. So we will hear from you if that's a solution?
I'm busy reflashing a new rom into my wizzard.

I would hope that as you seeing the problem that you could test this. I get all my texts on time (luckely) so I can't help you I am afraid, I can just share my thoughts.
Let us know how you get on.

I've tried, but now there's nobody who has sent me an sms
ghehe, i'll wait....
but i do think it will work.
i'll keep you posted
This is happening to me all of a sudden and its not a network issue. I have 4 phones on my account and i texted between all of them and only my phone won't get the messages UNLESS I reboot my phone or use smartskey to close a window.
Here is the strange part, when a text message is sent to my phone, the screen turns on, but doesn't show the message pop.
Is smartskey blocking it?
Also, closing a window by clicking on the X also kicks the message to come through
i am getting some lockups on my hd2.
i have had it for 4 days now and it seems to be getting progressively worse.
it seems to have something to do with texting.
when i text there is a long (20 seconds or more) pause before you can enter text.
sometimes after sending texts it wont go back to the home screen.. the phone then will lockup with only the start menu showing..
at this time nothing works.. i have to reset the phone via the HD2SoftReset button i installed from the HD2Tweak program.
any ideas on what is going on?
I had the same problem as you before. I fixed it by deleting my txt from time to time. So you don't store too many of them on your phone.
thats crazy, i never deleted the messages from my tmo 3g dash and it never crashed
hope they fix it soon with fw update

yea, it's weird. somehow it takes awhile for hd2 to load previous text messages.
its entirely the fault of the sense messaging app.
keep your messages to around 100 in and out and you will be fine,
or disable sense messaging and use standard 6.5 threaded and you can keep them.
not a great fix but still a fix
Ditto! I'm having the same issue - locking up and freezing... Augh!
I do not have any text messages on the phone and I get dropped data connections all day. If I power cycle it does come back. It also seems to have an issue with updating my "Current Location" on the home screen. All of the other locations weather update but the phone just can't seem to figure out where it is.
Any ideas on this one?
thanks
i was having those same data issues i just called t mo and they provisioned it properly. have you done that yet/
Hey there,
it's me again!
The Wildfire of my girlfriend got another stange behavior:
Since I flashed RUU 1.37 she receives strange sms,all day long (every 5 minutes or so):
A popup comes up, showing a (random) number eg like 3409362712 and there is a "cancel" and "save" button below.
Any idea what that is and more important: how to fix that?
I guess these are "hidden" sms send by the provider, which normaly stay hidden
but thats just a guess...
I'll try to make a screenshot, next time such a sms comes up..
Where did u download the RUU from?
I got mine from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836771 and it works fine with no messages or anything.
Every time I switch off and then back on (reboot) It sends some random sms to my gf, but only to her...
I think I got it...
after a bit of research I found out, that my provider sends the coordinates of the cell I'm currently loged in via cell broadcasting.
So the numbers I get are the locations of the cells.
After I turned CB off, it stopped.
