Phone: MDA
Provider: T-Moble
OS: 2.21
Has anyone else noticed that with the T-Mobile MDA, unsent messages (due to lack of signal) go to DRAFTS (which must be manually sent later) instead of being held in OUTBOX for when I have signal?
I actually upgraded my ROM thinking that would resolve the issue but it does not. Perhaps there is a registry tweak I need.
Any help/ideas would be most appreciated.
yeah, i have to agree its bloody stupid. what idiot thought that would be a good idea ffs.
a reg hack would be great.
Phone: MDA
OS: 2.21
Provider: T-Mobile
I am curious now how many other people have this problem, particularly Wizard users. If this is something specific to T-Mobile I might try another provider's rom to eliminate the problem.
Is this sms or outlook msgs (or both). I know that sms goes to drafts (not fixed in any WM version I know) but outlook email should go to outbox. I'm using the cingular wizard.[/quote]
Its SMS messages. So this is a function of Windows Mobile? Gawd what a stupid feature!
i must agree i wish they would go to outbox i hate having to go back to drafts and resend half the time i forget about them
It is a stupid idea, but surely something that could be fixed by a kindly app ?
I don't know about anyone else, but I've never had a phone that automatically sends when there is signal. It always saves to drafts and I have to send it later.
mine sends auto if there is signal.. but if its over 6txt msg long it sends to drafts cuz there is a timeout on it.. if we can figure out how to change the time-out or attempts made maybe we can come up with some sort of hack that will make it keep tryin until it goes thru!
My nokia 3650 always used to try to resend any unsent messages at a specific interval. I think you could even input how many times to try to re send.
i have it too, and the same thing was true when i was on wm2003se
it would be so much bettre if it auto sent once a signal picked up

Any bog-standard SonyEricsson or Nokia will do this. It's such as simple thing you'd assume MS would get it right, on what is after all version 5 of their phone OS.

I had a SE T610 and a S700i and both of them would just say "Sending Failed" and save the message in drafts, which do not auto-send.

Just so others can help properly it's worth checking that your text messages are not being received despite the message. For a while I got the message cannot be sent messages but in fact they were being sent!

Oooooh! Not good, hope you they were not sent I ended up with repeated messages sent all over the place. Maybe you could check by sending message to yourself.
Mike
well...i sent msg to myself and it works fine, saying "message successfully sent" but all other numbers it still wont go.

I see a reply from qtotter which I don't follow but may well make sense to you. Just in case qtotter does not have the explanation the following may help.
When I had the problem I began to notice that some numbers worked and some did not according to the message sent pop up. (as I said before all were actually being sent).
In my case it turned out to be to do with whether the numbers were on SIM on Phone or had been imported from SIM. As an experiment you could try re entering one of the numbers that appears not to work and saving it. Then try it again, if it's the same as the problem I had you may find the same number now works. Worth a try?
Mike
i guess what qtotter meant was that SMS in Japan is only possible between Softbank(Vodafone) and AU. Docomo doesnt support SMS...
For the x01th (hermes), it is the only phone in Japan without a proper email address connected to the carrier ( at least to my knowledge, maybe Willcom`s awesome W-Zero series has no email...dont know)
About the issue with the sms...i will look into the contact list/ sim issue.
Guess i will send some SMS and Cmails (AU) around.
Thanks for the tipp....

it's more like there is no way to get an address with x01th and use it on x01th by default. firstly, if you put your sim into another sb phone and go to Y!, you can get an account. secondly, if you install an mms client in x01th and set up vodafone/softbank mms setting, you can actually use mms on it. there is still some problem which happens once in awhile, but it works most of the time.
by the way, zero3 comes with an email address.

i want to try that. my wife will get a SB phone soon. ( i want her to get the 910SH..) maybe i can try to setup SMS/MMS using your suggestion.
For people who uses Flexmail...
I have tested this with Cingular and they are seeing a problem as well. They are still trying to figure it out but here is the situation.
Whenever I use flexmail for SMS messages...
Cingular to Cingular the text goes through.
Other carriers are able to send to me as well.
When I try to send a txt using Flexmail, it doesn't go anywhere. Cingular has confirmed that it's going through their server, but not being received by the other carriers. However, txt's that are sent using Flexmail to my own provider (Cingular), the text goes through without any problems.
If I don't use FLEXMAIL and use the built in SMS, it works fine despite which carrier it goes through.
Any one have any ideas what is going on?
I would check with the people at Flexmail, http://www.webis.net. They have a support forum and if you want to go the extra step you can download their latest beta from their forum thread : http://www.pocketinformant.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=10113
I have tried already. I haven't gotten a response and I figured I'd post here as well for those who uses flexmail. I know many people use that product and was wondering (for the users) if they encounter any problems with SMS using flexmail.
I use it on Cingular but admit that I haven't sent SMS to any non-Cingular people yet.

Sickchilly:
Do me a favor and give it a try yourself. Use Flexmail's SMS. Try sending to other carriers (Verizon, Tmobile, Sprint, etc.). Any of those and see if it goes through.
If it does then there must be some setting on my end. I know Cingular wanted me to test my Sim and my phone by switching it out and sending a message from another Cingular phone. It works so it's not the sim/phone. I'm pretty sure it's flexmail but then again, it could be some setting within my phone.
Let me know...
Anyone else please see if this occurs.
Hi,
Can FlexMail do MMS????.
and
SMS is threaded?
Regards,
Taguapire.
I used to have (still have dont use it much) Nokia 9210. Very old by todays comparision but some features are just something which makes me wonder why no other phones have since. When I sent SMS by presing button SEND I had about 5 seconds to cancel it by pushing cancel button in OUTBOX folder. If I didnt I could just close the phone knowing that it will be send whenever phone gets back to mobile network.
So I wonder is there any registry tweak to keep trying to send SMS or re schedule failed sms? Or do I have to wait every time in the tube before I got out to send all the sms I wrote?
Backup is an internal application of Nokia 9210 which I used but never needed it. That phone has never crashed by meaning of loosing all of the information in 5 years!!!
I messed up today screen and lost all sms and other stuff on UNI just under a week of using. Is it the windows or the architecture that bad? Using Midget 0.1 Crosbow
For unknown reason whenever I plug the Uni in the PC and Active sync starts to synchronise it doesnt stop. After hard reset I was suprised that it didnt synchronise for at least a week.
What settings are wrong?
Because I cant change what will be synchronised and for example favourites doesnt do anything.
I use Active sync 4.5beta
I had Motorola A925 afterwards and that phone is crap. I could not get back to nokia 9210 because that doesnt support USIM, the only disadvantage of that phone.
I just hope that with all the backuping will not loose all data again, its a pain in the a***.
Thanks anyone who knows anything about tweaking SMS settings..

My MMS messages won't send (I don't have the correct settings), but they keep trying and advise me a few times a day that they're not going out. I'd guess that SMS messages do the same thing...? Cheers,
MDA Touch Plus..recently just had it back from repair, but they have also done a software upgrade.
Unfortunately now my text messages are threaded and showing "Conversation with" and just the mobile number. Therefore I have to look up my contacts for who is sending me a text message.
Been through all the settings and I have deleted all sim contacts from my contacts list.
Racking my brains here, any help guys how to get it back so i can see contact names again in my messages? I dont mind if they are still threaded so long as I can see who it is.
thanks in advance.
My wife's got the same issue. Just been back to T-Mobile for repair, got the latest firmware installed and now contacts aren't being recognised in the threaded messages.
A temporary fix seems to be to amend the contact mobile number to start +447xxx rather than 07xxx and this seems to work, but as she's got a couple of hundred contacts (uses her phone for work as well as personal use) it's gonna take some time to update them all.
Don't have this issue with either my Diamond or my Trinity (both also running WM6.1).
Any further help appreciated!
One option might be to disable threaded SMS - install this cab and all should be well again.
Hope that works for you!
Message thread resolved.
It works! Many thanks Khrushy

Youre right, been onto tech guys, this is the only cure at this moment in time. Took me half an hour to change all the contacts to +44 but its workable now. Thanks for your suggestion Martins40
I've recently received two blank texts, the author of which is simply "Δ@", following which I promptly restarted my blackstone.
this isnt the first time i've received such a text. A little concerned, since I
read that receiving a blank text from dodgy places means someone might be
trying to hack into your phone.
Has anyone ever received similar texts before? Any advice / help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Maaz
Yeah, I got it a while back, but if I'm not mistaken, it was the iPhone which was vulnerable to this SMS attack.

Have you checked your Voicemail, if I remember correctly, I had this and it is your Voicemail. I think the way the voicemail icon is activated on phones is via the SMS protocol, and your phone should not show you an SMS message like that, but intercept it and show you your voicemail icon.
If you have a voicemail, read and delete it and you will probably get another text message, which is similar, to instruct the phone to delete the voicemail icon, again you shouldn't see this normally.
I am sure there is a patch to sort this out, but I haven't had any problems like this for ages, so maybe update to a newer ROM and see if it goes away.
Jason
Thanks Jason
I'll look out for voicemail in the future i think i did have some at the time.
However, I keep getting told I have voicemail waiting to be read when I don't actually have any, so its a little difficult (and annoying) determining whether I actually have voicemail or not.
As for my ROM, im using NRGZ28's latest ROM released in late December :s
Maybe its an Orange thing?

If I recall I was on Orange in the UK at the time, so I am not sure if different networks use different ways of forcing the icon to appear, and your phone does not support it. I would of thought it was something to do with the software, so the ROM is likely to be the problem, but I dont know for sure...
As I moved network, I cannot give any definites on whether my ROM would work for you either... You have not indicated your country, maybe if you advise, another person may be able to give you some assistance against that particular ROM.

I am on orange UK
I have a HTC Tytn with 6.5 (23060)
The Tytn gets the SMS strange symbols when I get Voice message
My HTC HD phone on Orange has Miri 6.5 (21876) V13
Voice messge icon works OK on this
so I would think it maybe win 6.5.3 / Orange problem
You should try calling your phone and leaving a voice message. Orange have a strange issue that I've helped people on xda with before in that if you hang up to soon after deleting voicemail the voicemail icon doesn't disappear. It could be that your phone isn't translating the sms that's sent to display the voicemail icon properly and the sms keeps being sent to you cos Orange thinks you've still got one.
1. Call yourself and leave a voicemail
2. Call you voicemail from your phone and listen to the message
3. Delete the message (option 3 I think) but wait about 5 seconds before hanging up
If you then stop recieving the sms and you're no longer told you got voicemail then great.
4. Leave yourself another message and see if you get the proper icon or a strange text
If you get the strange text then you'll need to do some research into it. I used to get it when I had a Prophet on Orange so take a look in that forum as there was a fix for it.
