Maybe it's just me with the problem, but when someone text messages me, and I press on the Reply icon, the reply won't go through once I send it. I manually have to go through my phonebook, find the person, and choose to text message them from there.
Anyone else having this problem?
This has happened to me with previous phones, I do not think it is a problem with the Magician...
The problem occurred on my SE P900 because the person who sent the SMS had a setting on their phone "Reply via same Message Centre" in their SMS settings. Seems some phones do not respect this setting (and reply using the default message centre number) meaning the text message is sent sucessfully... however, some phones (the P900 being one) do, and try to reply to the text using the SMS message centre number that the original text was sent via.
Now, this doesn't normally cause a problem, however, if you are on a network which has various message centre numbers (for contract, for pre-pay etc) then this is where the trouble can start.
O2 - UK is one of the offenders. They have a message centre number for contract users, and one for pre-pay users... however, for some unknown reason, they bar you from sending a text message via the other message centre... so, when my friend, with her Nokia 3410, on O2 pre-pay sent me a text, I couldn't reply to it, however, I could go in and make a new one and send it fine.
Ironically, I could reply to texts from other friends on completely different networks no problem, and I could reply to friends on O2 contract no problem!
Well, there's the theory... your situation might not be the exact same...
But anyway... the solution is to inform your friends to find the setting (in SMS settings) on their phone that looks like "Reply via same Message Centre" and set it to NO.
(Also note, Nokia 3410's sometimes do not have this setting available on them! I think the setting is stored on the SIM card, maybe, so you'd probably have to switch the SIM to another phone, change the setting, and switch it back.)
works for me if i delete all but the phone number in the "To" field after i choose "reply"
Well, its been a while since I am trying to get sms confirmations but they dont seem to work.
Everytime I enable the checkbox asking for confirmation but all i get is SMS sent message which is almost instantenous. I know there is a tweak to activate sms delviery notification by default so that you dont have to click the checkbox everytime but nothing works.
I saw a program which allows you to get your contact name in the delivery confirmation but in my case I just dont get any confirmations.
Using: qtek 9100 with factory ROM 9/22/05 on cingular.
Or could it be a cingular problem ?
Guys, please let me know

Could be your network operator's problem, could also be a problem with the recipient's network operator. Both networks have to support the feature. Try with somebody else's SIM for an entirely different network - preferably after making sure that it works for them on their phone; assuming your device is SIM-unlocked.. if not, either unlock it (void warranty and whatnot) or just ask Cingular whether it's supported at all (good luck getting an answer beyond template replies)

Thanks for the reply. Well, I see your signature and I have the same device with the same ROM as yours. Do you have this problem ? Are you able to get delivery notifications. IF yes, then please let me know which provider to do connect to.
I tried calling cingular, and they were so dumb that they started giving me solutions like poweroff and on your phone etc. So i just had to cut it short with them.
I wish they had a technical support team.
well, sounds like you got fed "The Script" by cingular... a bunch of places with support sites have their people read a 'script'... it's long, tedious, and very often for people like 'us' who do know what they're doing it'll feel rather ridiculous and pointless. If it's a free number, though, walk through it - if nothing else they'll give you a case file at the end and somebody higher up to talk to. Could ask for the higher-up from the get-go, but they tend to ask you whether you did all the things the lower-down asked you to do, and if you say 'no' or 'yes' (lied), they just send you back
Anyway, on to your question...
Yep - it works fine for me. I'm using a Lebara Mobile SIM, which used to connect to the Telfort NL network, but appears to be connected to the O2 NL network at the moment. I've sent text messages to people in NL on Vodafone and Orange, to one person in the USA on Verizon and one person in Australia whose provider name I don't know They've always worked for me - always getting a "delivery notification" text message - typically just a few seconds after sending, though I've had it happen that it took several minutes as well.

This could well be the network as I had a similar problem when I was back in the UK recently and connected to O2. They don't support deliver confirmations on their network as standard but you could add a 4 digit sequence to each outgoing text message that would then give you a delivery message back. Pain in the ass but it was fine for the week I was back.
I'm on T-Mobile in the UK and I know you can prefix an SMS with *0# to get a delivery report issued. I'm using that quite a bit at the moment as the normal delivery report notifications don't seem to differentiate correctly between pending and fully delivered messages - i.e. on my Vario both report that the message has been delivered, which for a pending message is completely wrong.
Do other people get this problem too, by the way? Using *0# option you can get a full pending or a full delivered message, complete with the actual delivery time/date info and the system's message-ID number so you can match the pending report to the delivered item.

*0# didn't work on my Lebara (from PPC to old phone)
but it did work on Vodafone (from old phone to PPC)
funnily enough the *0# remains part of the text message on both ends
Edit: and looks like vodafone charged me an extra 3 eurocents for the service %)

Did you remember to leave a space after the # ?
I didn't the first time and it was delivered with the message )

Oh this is something I didnt know, so I should try it. Not sure whether cingular supports it or not but lets see. By the way when you say prefix an SMS, do you mean the number to whom we send the sms or the sms text ?
From v8Dave's response I guess you have to prefix the txt with this code. Can you confirm ?

With O2 you prefix your message with it and the network strips this off the message before sending to the recipient. Remember to add a space after it otherwise it does not work and the recipient gets the whole message with the *0# at the start.

Yep - tried that after googling around to see if I'm doing it wrong on the wizard and noticed that somebody mentioned that it was "star zero hash space".. still gets sent along %) Very odd
~ Z
On T-Mobile UK, the *0# (star zero hash) message prefix is correctly stripped off the message whether you use a space afterwards or not. You still lose 3 characters from your 160 maximum, though.
Could someone confirm whether they have the same problem as me with their normal Delivery Reports system though? i.e. when I send an SMS to a phone which is currently switched off, I get a "Delivered" report on my Vario almost immediately, and then another identical "Delivered" report whenever the SMS really is delivered to the recipient's phone. The first report should say "Pending", of course.
It works correctly when I use the *0# method, so I'm wondering whether the T-Mobile software in the Vario is re-wording the delivery report in some way, but getting it wrong for "Pending" status reports?

it's a known problem in the old ROM of HTC (here in Holland). Just update to 1.66 via the HTC website or flash a custom ROM.
i've flashed to the latest from 1.72 that i could get and still the problem persists?
Hi,
To the best of my knowledge, and personal experience, the original SMS problem was silent. You didn't get an 'unable to send sms message' alert. How did this message appear, was it from Windows, the message client or a text from your service provider? To be honest it looks to me like a service provider issue. have you ever been able to text out with the current SIM?
Now I have the same problem. How did you fix it?
SMS problem
I have this problem also.
I think it's a bug in the software of HTC-sense ( not WM ), while, when I send a free sms (only one's a day) from the Vodafone-button in the Start-menu, this works well.
I have all the update's done from the HTC-site, also all the Rom's I've tried from this site.
Update!
I have tried to send a SMS with HTC sense Off, this has No effect!
Update 04-04-2010!
With other sim in Phone (also other provider) it works normal! So, my phone is working good!
It must be a problem with my Sim or provider (Vodafone).
I let you know the next days the solution of this problem!
Update 06-04-2010
When I installed a new rom on my phone, also the original Vodafone-rom, he installed the wrong number for the messageservice, I have tried this many times, the install was without +31 (netherlands). After editing the number everything works great!
It could be that other costumers have the same problem, but with editing the number with your Country-number the problem must be fixed, my old number was 06540881000 (vodafone),
the new number is +316540881000 (Netherlands)
can't send sms
I have the sam problame with differt sim card of different providers so I don't know what to do, pleas help.
My rom version is 1.66
Thanks

Hi!
I have the same problem. My HD2 have the latest hungarian-compatible official ROM (v1.66), the SIM is T-Mobile. I send group sms often and the device send for example 18 from 22 and the last 4 stay in outbox (after a "sending message is unavailable" error meassage. Maybe its a secret settings the max sms of a day? In HTC or provider?
Could it possibly be a ROM/Radio Version mismatch?

if you go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Phone > Voice Mail and Text Message, what is your text message service center number?
this should be set to Optus' service center number, im afraid i am a telstra customer... so i cannot tell you what the number is... i can tell you if the service center number is the telstra one though.
good luck.
I have another type of question, but in the same subject: I have sometimes the same sms problem, all settings are ok but I need to check every time if the sms message went out from outbox. Sometimes the outbox is empty so the message is sent but sometimes sits there and I have to send it again or delate and compose again. But I receive no info about this!!
My question is if it's possbile to activate somehow in HD2 the information that the message is sent? Like in most simple GSM phones, you have info "the message is sent" and sometimes animation of flying envelope. Before HD2, I used a Qtek S200 with Windows Mobile 5.0 and when I was sending an sms massage, always the information "message sent" was appearing.
Is it possible to activate somehow this info on HD2?? Because, if the message is sent, I can only guess that it sent before checking the outbox or sent messages...
Thanks in advance for a solution !!

Check with your telecoms website, it should tell you what the phone number the SMS service goes through
Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Phone -> Voice Mail and Text Message. The number should match your telecom's number. For some reason this can be blank, and can be the problem.
Sorry to reopen an old thread, but someone might find use for this answer.
I had the same problem, sms service center was ok. Solved it by changing sms carrier from gprs to gsm in advanced networks, witch can be found in Phone settings/menu/Advanced network/SMS service.
Hey guys,
I'm having some issues here. When receiving sms, the senders number doesn't always appear. Instead, it shows the first word of the SMS as the sender.
This happens when the length of sender number is less then 5 digits e.g. if you receive a text "test message" from 224 or 2244 then instead of showing 224 or 2244 as sender's number, it will show "test". I don't know what these kind of number's are called in other countries but we call it SHORTCODE. I've also heard people calling it SNO. Normally these messages are sent from the mobile operators or VAS providers.
No matter what I do, I can't see the sender number. I've tried using Handcent and ChompSMS. I've checked the message details etc but nothing helped. I've even tried using different ROM's. Currently I'm using Cyanogen's latest ROM.
I hope someone out there knows how to solve this problem and will help me as well Thanks in advance.
Guys! Has anyone else faced this problem? Looking forward to your replies...
I haven't rooted but when I used to have problems with custom builds on my g1 I would usually just wipe and flash...that fixed my problems almost every time
I had this problem even in the stock ROM. It's not specific to custom ROM.
I was in Canada but am now living in Australia. I have tons of messages that were sent/received in the format 416-555-1234. Now that I'm abroad I need to put +1416-555-1234.
That's fine and I've updated all my numbers in my address book. The problem is this doesn't change my text message threads. I need to manually enter the +1 every time I want to sent a text. It's driving me crazy. I could delete the thread and I'm pretty sure that will resolve it, but I don't want to lose all my old messages. Is there any way I can remedy this?
Thanks..
