SMS Icon still there (after the sending confirmation)

Hi guys,
I have a confirmation after a SMS is sent. Telling me "the sms is sent"
and an enveloppe will show at the top of the XDA2 (the same enveloppe you got when you received an Email)
But the enveloppe Icon won't go?? Unless I do a reset???
If I get an SMS and I read the SMS, then the Icon will go away.
But in this case since this is just a confirmation, and there is no SMS to read. I can't get the icon to leave??
can someone help?
thank you

This happens to me as well from time to time...I think it has to do with if you come out of the Inbox applet a little too soon, or sometimes if you don't click on the envelope icon once it appears.
One of those annoying little things but I don't think it does any harm to your messages or anything. A soft reset always clears it for me.

same here with ruu172104wwe on O2 XDAII, does happen 3-4 times a week, soft reset will wash the taskbar..

same here
Exactly as Anton says (same on XDAI). If you send an SMS message and exit the INBOX too quickly, the "sent" envelope gets stuck.
It's a bug! :roll:

never happent to me but i have heard that people with pocket plus who have not removed the option where it really do close applications insted of just minimizing them having this problem

Thank you
thank you
I was thinking I'm the only one.
Have a nice week-end

My problem is even worst! Sometimes, when I send an sms the small box-icon remains there and if I tap on it,..the beneficiary gets another sms once again!!
I have Spb Poket Plus & Spb Full Screen keyboard installed. Maybe it's due to those software!

iv been getting this with my m1000
and wadda ya kno.... iv got pocket plus running with the "close" option bit....

well if you got pocket plus
and do use the REAL close option
cant you just wait untill the sms is sent before
you close outlook
imho then the real close option is a bit of a problem
because ms never ment programs to be closed that way / at all

Hi there,...I contacted Sbp software and explain the problem,... I disabilited the "really close option" and the problem never appears. ... I close applications manually.
That's all folks

i dont really see it as sbp's problem but more as outlooks problem
if their request to send get messed up because of the sender being killed it's not really sbp's problem it's the way outlook is
of cause one may think it odd that sbp make their closing the default option

For Rudegar
Of course you are right! it's not sbp's problem. I immediately supposed it's an outlook problem. I really hope future versions of outlook would consider this fact. But the important for me was to stop SMS problems. Disallowing "close all" option solved it. And for me (and I think other people having this problem) it's more than acceptable.

sms icon
You need to add tmail.exe to the programs the Plus 2.0 marks as exceptions.
you need to open your inbox,then open Options of Plus 2.0 and add in the exceptions the last program opened(in this case the sms program which you opened...tmail.exe)
that should do it

It seems to be working fine!! many thanks jokz23!!

thank you very much

It seemed working fine,...
After my previous post, I added tmail.exe as exception,... The application didn't close. Good, I sent an sms. the icon didn't froze,...but my girlfriend got -3- sms
I think we only have to renounce "really close" function.

SMS sending with XDA II

ever since i've upgraded mine to WM2003SE, my friends are complaining about how they receive the same message twice every after 10 minutes...is it the software? or my service provider? any help would be much appreciated...thanks. :lol:

i have te exact same problem....
Can anyone help.....

I gues you both are using "Pocket Plus" software, you have to disable the "close" feature, or at least, execlude "Outlook" from the the "close" feature so when you next time send SMS, it goes as one time, not dublicate!!
Hope this helps.

this thing also happens to me, my receipients complain that i send the message more than once (even up to 10x!)
i tried diabling the "close" function of SPB Pocket Plus. hope this works

what i did and works so far is i don't t tauch anything on the screen antil i ge the ''message send'' bubble, by doing anithing else the messages get to be send twice!

known bug...
What you experience is a well known bug in Windows' way to send SMSs:
The only "workaround" is to wait a few seconds after pressing the "send"-button until the bubble "message sent" comes up, just as chlouk wrote.
If you close the messages app before the bubble comes up, your SMS will be sent twice - only MS knows why...
Greetings,
BGK

Just exclude the tmail.exe from the close button feature of pocket plus. It'll fix the problem.

you are soooo right.....
it's fixed!
Thanx man... :lol:

no prob.. btw look for the tmail.exe in windows folder.

it's been nearly 2 months since i last posted this, n checked it only just now. :lol: my problem was solved a month ago by uninstalling SPB pocketplus...i'm reinstalling. thanks much for the help!

I have exactly the same problem only when I send a sms while I am talking on the phone.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you have a taskmanager such as SPB Pocket Plus or Magic Button installed with the option to really close programs? If zo, add \windows\tmail.exe to the exeptionlist to prevent the sms program is really closes, this could solve your problem.

same problem with same ROM but fr version. :x I've no solution.... :evil:
I'm interesting by a simply explanation :!:

1-2tje:
Yes I have spbpocketplus. I'll do what you suggeat and test. Thank you

I have the same problem but with MultiMedia messages (not text messages) being sent twice. I think tmail.exe handles those too, so I'll try your suggestion.
Andre

If it doesn't work (e.g. for MMS), try adding the file "poutlook.exe" in the \windows folder to the exeption list.

This seems to happen when you close the messaging application before the text message is sent. If you wait 2-3 seconds after sending your sms before you close the messaging application you should not get this problem.

Re: Sending twice
Hi all, I thought i'd add my findings to this.
It has happened since the Wallaby's this has. I found it was down to not waiting for the "sms sent" nitification. If you shut the app before you get that notification it sends them twice. If you wait for the notification and then shut, you'll be ok.
I haven't tested this on the wizard as i use SmartSkey to close, which has an exception list, messaging being one of them so i only ever minimise it, but this was certainly the case on the older models.

Scheduled Sending SMS Messages

Anyone know of an app that'll let me schedule an SMS message to be sent?
I want to be able to write a text message then have it automatically sent at a given date and time.
I've done some searching here and on G, but can't find anything.

PowerSMS

/E

RJV also used to have SMS Scheduler, but it doens't seem to wake up the device on WM6.1.
PowerSMS testing while I type
Update:
While running the application in the background the Diamond woke up
After this I've tested to schedule an SMS and closing the application. This does not work. So you need to exclude PowerSMS on your favorite Task Manager.
Update2:
The application sends the message as soon as you turn on the Diamond. So it's still working after it's closed. But it does not wake up the device.

Cool, thanks both - just what I needed

You're welcome. Seems like PowerSMS has the potential to become a great product. It's still in Beta but working pretty good. Would have to test this some more to give a final judgment

SMS notification every x minutes ? How to ?

Hello,
I would like to be notified with an SMS notification sound every "x minutes" for a new incoming message.
Thank you!

Hello
Try the SPB Phone Suite

Thank you but the application is quite heavy just for that and it increase the time for the phone to boot.
If you know another application...
Thanks

I'm using MSentinel:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-msentinel.html
It has some minor issues but it does the job and it's free, so I don't complain

I use phonealarm

Msentinel seems to be great ! Thanks !
