Today after a week of silence my wiz rang and there were 10x new messages yep 10x !
The first 2 came through ok but then I got the message "please hold the line"
After that have been unable to get the rest of my messages. Everytime I ring 901 I get the same message repeated .
I contacted o2 for 50 minutes( Nat call rate)and they were useless .They told me that this week o2 have had major service faults but they were sorted now ?!
anyone know how I can get my messages? I am about ready to cancel my contract due to non performance of contract.
bump :roll:

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??
Hi first post on here so hello. I have a HTC TYTN which is on the 3UK mobile network and i notice that i dont always recieve SMS messages and in fact a collegue of mine has the Orange version (unlocked with a 3 SIM) and also gets the same problem. I used to get this on a standard build TYTN and recently upgraded the Radio ROM to 1.35 and the OS to WM6 hoping that it was software related, but i still get missing texts. I just sent 10 texts from another 3UK mobile and only recieved 2...in fact when ever i have tested this you do seem to only get 2 out of the messages sent.
I also dont get delivery notifications, but not sure if this is related.
Any ideas? I would suspect that is most likely to do with 3's Network and as the phone is not officially support doubt anything will be done about it, but i thought i would just ask and see if anyone else has had this issue and had any suggestions...
Many thanks
Drew

Welcome to the wonderful world of Tytn - A rewarding if sometimes frustrating experience
I've read about folks not receiving or being able to send SMS at all, I've read about folk missing texts if the device freezes while in sleep mode, but I have not read about only receiving a proportion of texts sent. Still maybe you'll get some posts to cofirm or otherwise whether it is the three network.
As regards notifications. Normally notifications will be set to on, but perhaps not in your case. The following is taken from the wiki see brown bar near top of this page. This refers to the registry and is the change necessary to turn notifications off (as many seem to want). In your case it would be a reversal of the settings:
Disable SMS received notification
The following setting disable SMS notification and sms recieved icon on screen
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailable = 0>
To enable again
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailable = 1>
Cheers

Hi Mike,
Cheers for your reply, but what i meant by delivery notifications is when i send a SMS to someone and i get a sms back saying it got delivered. I think to be honest this is all part of the same problem. I know someone who works within the 3 messaging team so might ask him to trace the SMSs for me and see what happens.
Cheers
Do you get a notification saying "message sent"?
I have heard of cases (not on 3) where texts have been sent, and then the messaging application closed before this notification appears, and then when the app is opened again, 2 identical texts are sent.
It seems that if the app is not left open for sufficient time after sending (ie before the 'message sent' notification appears), the device can get confused.
Having said that, on t-mob, texting to and from o2, over the past 6 months there have been 1 or 2 occasions when the text sent has not been received for about 3 hours!
Hi,
Yea i have had the odd instance where friends have recieved multiple texts also occasional get the SMS was not able to be sent message.
I don't seem to get delay in recieving texts just never get some. Interesting a friend bought a newer TYTN last week (mine is august/september last year) and he doesnt have the issue and we both have same ROM versions.
Did another test today and out of 10 only got 6. Very strange, it is starting to drive me crazy LOL. Even more so that other people i know have same issue (out of the 6 people i know who have Hermes phones 5 have the issue all on the 3 UK mobile network either TYTN or Orange one unlocked). The 5 of use did buy the phones all about the same time.
I can only assume there has been some very minor change in the hardware or firmware between the earlier Tytns and the later ones.
I have logged a call with HTC Tech support europe and he said never seen this before but he will pass it to the dev team to look at...so be interesting what they come back with.

I recently moved about 300 miles from home for college and am now on a Cingular network according to my phone. I called T-mobile and they say I wont be charged roaming but I am still having problems and they can't seem to figure it out.
1. All text messages I receive are timestamped 3 hours late. Ex. I get the message at 9:00PM local time, and the message says it was from 6:00PM.
2. Sometimes when I try to send messages I get a popup saying "text message cannot be sent"
3. When I receive text messages they are typically on a 10-15 minute delay. Some people I send messages to get them and I receive their response immediately but most I send out get to them immediately but I get their response late.
I have called T-Mobile customer support each day this week but all they have told me to do is to turn the phone off, pull the battery and turn it on 5mins later. This only fixes it for a few hours if that long. Is my SIM bad?
Anyone have any ideas?
my friends always keep complaining me that i never pick up there calls, but most of the time my phone doesn't ring at all. One of my friend even confirmed me by calling my number in front of me, and my phone didn't ring.
what could be the problem. Plz Help!
Another related problem is that i sometimes receive the messages after 10 to 20 minutes of their delivery. And also after sending 3 to 4 messages, the new sent message stays into the sent box and gets delivered after i restart the phone.
Is this the phone problem or something else.

Ok to make a long story short i was over at the sprint forums and I was talking to a rep how I had huge text message delays like 6+ hour delays.. they would get my messages quick (people I send them to) however the message I would get back from them is huge..
Anyways they checked the tower in my area and it was find however they noticed my handset had a few messages trying to get to the device but unable to.. something like m buffer (2).. anyways he gave me some short codes to try before doing a reset.. and thats where I have my issue now...
The first one I did was the handset activation one I guess and I saw no change.. so I did the reset and now I'm getting a SMS Error Radio Interface Resource Shortage error.. unable to make any calls without hearing a error message recording.
in his message to me he said that for the reset I would enter in the code and all and it would reset but it just hangs at saying "Please wait while committing change..." it's been like this for at least 10 min.. and to make sure it was nothing in the background I wiped the phoen clean and tried to do it again and same hanging up...
Any suggestions?
OMG.. Sprint CS...
So I signed up with the Sero plan when I got my Evo because of the referral code and whatnot.. So I call Customer service and I could already tell when the guy spoke the first few lines that he was going to be a handful and sure enough I gave him my phone number and account name and he was Like...
OH wait this account is locked and I say to me locked what? and He was like this is a company phone and you need them to call and I'm like what are you talking about... I've never had this issue before with anyone else..
So he gives me some number 800-927-2199
and I can see it now.. I call and they are going to send me back and forth...
Reason why I'm calling sprint now is while the Sprint rep on the sprint form helped me I'm left with unable to make calls (gives a switch and error code) and SMS does not work.. oddly data works...
*edit
Wow what a ride.. it's a pain if you call from another Sprint phone under another person's name...
Anyways I called and a guy who I knew by the sound of his voice was going to give me a hard time and as soon as he saw my account was a sero plan he was like I can't help you and gave me the number for the business end of Sprint.. I called back again and I got this nice lady that helped me and then when she was unable to do anything she sent me to tech support and they were able to help me.. I did not get any of those pending messages yet.. but I did send a message between the two phones and it's really fast like 2-4 seconds.
also it pays to call back more then once.. you would think they would all get the same training but it's like hit or miss with Sero people..
