My O2 XDA Mini S seems to send messages twice (it only seems to happen if I send it to a lot of people at once, say 10 or 12 people).
This is annoying as I don't have a huge text limit in my O2 contract.
Any ideas why it's happening?
Are you using a task manager like Wisbar etc? Anything that lets you close apps?

I use InClose for closing apps instead of minimising them.
If you immediately close (not minimise) Pocket Outlook after pressing send, it will try to resend it, ultimately sending it twice. Give it a few seconds until you get confirmation that it's sent, before closing, or set it up as an excluded app.

ok ive had my XDA-II now just over a month and loving it, upgraded from a symbian mobile history, ive pretty much got the phone sussed but i still have a few niggles which i would be most greatful if any one could help me
1. GPRS counter?? are there any freeware GPRS counters?? or am i missing the built in one??
2. is it possible to recieve SMS delivery reports on my XDA-II??
3. after sending an SMS i occasionally get the "Message Sent" box stuck at the top, just a pic of envelope which pressed brings it up, and the only way to loose it is a soft reset
4. Are there any applications that take advantage of the built in camera??
thats all i can thinki of at this instant
Most greatful for answer i can be provided with!!
Many thanks
Lee
For reports try putting *0# in the subject line.
In relation to the message sent envelope stuck on the top of the screen. If you close down the inbox application before the message sent indication is received it is stuck there until you do a soft reset. its a glitch in the software.
Steve
I found the envelope is caused by SPB's Pocket Plus closing the Inbox application. PP has a feature where the close button actually shuts down the application as opposed to minimising it in the case of deafult WM2003 behaviour.
Dave
yeah i had issues with plus terminating my applications too
i set it to minimize like default and use
PHM task manager
when i want to really close applications
it's a close of the task manager in windows and it's free
great stuff people!! thanks for your help, funnily nough i do have pocket plus installed!!! ill have to have a play with it
It seems that every time I send an SMS it is sent twice. Anyone who has experienced this? It's not sucha big deal but still.
And does anyone but me think that the UI for the message application is totally retarded? I always press ok, realize it was wrong, go into the Drafs folder, bring up the message, and press "Sent".
Somehow they didn't think this one trough.
Anyways, who knows sometging about the double SMS thing?
Thanks!
If you have installed SPB pocket plus.. You need to exclude the tmail.exe from your close feature.
click on the upper right part of your lcd/options/close button/feature options/exceptions/add/browse under windows folder look for tmail.exe and press ok.
hope this helps
If you're not using SPB PocketPlus... just make sure you get the Message Sent notification before closing the messaging app.
What about when you're using wisbar advance? Is it enough to set the single tap to "minimize"?
Yes, WA is probably causing the same issue. Try single click is minimize or minimize the mail-app with the red-button.
Regards, M
I have same problems!
Try to send SMS from Contacts List.
Hold on Name and Click on "Send Text Message"
It not possible to send a SMS twice.
I have the same problem. Are you saying a software app are causing that?
This has been discussed long ago. The solution (which is not ideal) is not to close the app until the confirmation message has been received.

Hey bro. I have this problem too. but rarely. Sometimes when i send one message to 5 numbers, one of them will receive more than 5 message while the rest had it once. I hope tis one helps because it is getting iritatating to some text mates.
every time i send a short text message, it deducts 48p off my balance instead of 12p.
POS!
whats wrong with it ?
are you using pocket plus or other programs which really close applications insted of the normal minimize ?
Same for me : Text messages are sent twice !!!
Doesn't really bother me as I don't have to pay for it anyway (thx a lot, boss ) but it is pretty annoying for the recipient
Using the default SMS-programm (Messaging) on my BA with WM2003 SE
There is a bug when sending txts that I found. Look at the characters and pages. For some reason if you use T9 and it auto punctuates more than once (sometimes just the once) it will shorten the txt message to half therefore sends 2 or more. It's stupid but just keep an eye on the counter and manually remove punctuation e.g, there's to theres and it will be fine... I only found this out after months of double and triple txt messaging charges.
Thx a lot for the feedbacl, although the problem/issue I'm facing is slightly different as I'm not using T9 and the message is not being split up.
It is exactly the same message that is being sent twice

That's no bug.
SMS are shortened whenever the phone switches to unicode (which is necessary for using some unconventional characters)
But the Qtek devices show clearly how many chars can be sent in one SMS and even how many SMS will be sent.
Simply watch the counter at the bottom before sending an SMS and avoid characters demanding unicode.
Sascha
okay. will do.
cheers.
rite...
Well im using the 02 300 free texts and mine gets sent 3-4 times. even thou i avoid using T9 and Unicode characters (annoys me) but i donno why, is there a solution to it. cheers :?

Does O2 deliver the same SMS 3-4 times to the recipient or do they "split" the message into 3-4 messages.
In the latter case, you are definitely using unicode characters.
In the first case you should contact your provider.
And don't forget: watch the counter before sending.

Double txt messages
Hi,
I am getting the smae problem every message I send is getting sent twice from the XDAII.
Doesnt matter if the txt is <160 chars or multiple messages.
The receiving device receives the message.
Then sometimes (NOT ALL THE TIME) it will send a duplicate message.
Usually (but again not all the time) the duplicate is sent later when the XDA is used again, after turning it back on.
Any one any clues?
It does run PocketNav as a task switcher/killer and I am going to diable it to check this as a cause.
Thanks in advance
This is a bug from spb Pocket plus when closing the SMS application while message is still sending, try not to close the SMS app while message is still sending.
me too...me too....while using XDA II sending msg, receipient get 2 msgs...i m using spb pocket plus and some chinese translation software...which is the cause of the problem?.. :roll:
The cause is 'tmail.exe'. If you are using spb Pocket Plus you need to do the following:
1. Tab on Start, Settings
2. Select System to launch Spb Pocket Plus
3. Tab on the Features Options that will bring you to Close Button panel.
4. Tab on Exceptions that will show you a panel 'Listed programs will always be minimized when tap the X button'
5. Tab on the ADD button and a pop-up box will display. Then select tab on the Browse.
6. A panel will be displayed showing all the directories. Then tab on the '+' sign of the Windows Directory to expand it.
7. Scroll down till you find a program 'tmail.exe' and tab on it to select it.
8. Lastly, tab on the OK button and it will bring you back to the Close Button panel. In the box it will showed that you have selectet the 'tmail.exe'. Then tab on the OK button on the top right corner.
9. That's all. It should work. On a safe side do a Soft Reset.
You won't have mail sending twice and you will be prompted immediately when the is an incoming mail.

Also that problem without Spb Pocket Plus installed
Hi y'all. I have an IMate Jam PM10A (former T-Mobile MDA) and I'm having the same problems. My sms messages are delivered twice, the 1st immidiatly, the 2nd sometimes an hour later. I do not have SpB Pocket Plus Installed, here is what i do have installed:
# Xvid Codec
# Smart Movie Lonely Cat
# IRemote Majeres
# Windows Theme Switch Today
# Pocketmind Pocketmusic
# Virtual Display Nyditot
# Resco Explorerer 2003
# Wisbar Advance
# Laridan Pocketbible
# Todayinfo Lou Terailloune
# Calendarplus Mohairsofa
Could the Wisbar Advance be the problem=
V-Bar
I'm sending multiple sms as well
Im not using pocket plus but i do use the T9 autocomplete so will turn that off and see, think i do send small multiple sms as well, also i use V-Bar which closes applications so i have removed that and will see if anymore ppl complain about me spamming the multiple sms
Anyone got any idea if any of the following problems cause conflicts in a similar way to pocket plus

Poket Plus ?? Multiple texts

Hi Rudegar,
You mentioned - POCKET PLUS to other user ...
Both my XDA IIi and my wife's XDA mini-s send same message multiple times. I will always receive the message immediately and then again when my wife 'activates' her phone in some way, and vice-versa.
We both use Pocket Plus - Is this the cause. I have been stripping away third party software for amateur developers but I reckoned Pocket Plus seemed 'safe'
Tony - [O2 ireland network]
pocket plus have an option which terminate (really close application rather then minimize them) when people press the X
this is as far as i know useless and a wish people comming from windows on pc like because they dont know that win ce automaticly close unused applications when it require the memory those applications is using
so one can safely turn off that "real" close of application unless one get serious slowdowns from using applications which eat alot of mem
otherwise excluding outlook from the "real" close option is a way to avoid it
or to not close outlook with the x before one gets the msg is sendt icon on the title bar of
Thank You
Thank you Rudegar,
I was fairly sure I had replied to your very helpful post when indeed I hadn't - So, Thanks again, your help pointed me in the right direction to sort my problem!
I've got an XDA Mini S on the O2 network, and people keep telling me that they are receiving my texts twice :?
Does anyone know why this is, or how I can fix it?
Hi Gazhowell
I had the same problem with mine on O2. Found the problem to be SPBpocket plus on the phone! Try not to close the text messages window until you get the message sent confirmation.
I was closing it just as it had sent so when i opened it again it would send again without a notification!
Hope this helps.
Blimey that was a quick reply
I do have spb so I'll try your suggestiong about keeping the window open. Thinking about it now I have been quickly closing it before waiting for the sent confirmation.
Seems an annoying little bug though.
It is not a bug. SMS just cannot be closed while sending. Try to add tmail.exe into hidding (not really closing) apps [in close settings in spb].
In my point of wiev on pda's with phone Contacts and Messages should be hidden, not closed. It speed up opening a lot. While using phone this two features are used most.

Thanks for that - I'll give it a try
Yeh i found the same issue when i was closing it too quick!!
give it a shot and let us know how it goes.
Savac has a good point actually. it really should be set to hide as opposed to close that would cure the problem.
good luck!
sms twice
i also had the same problem but didnt have spb installed then so it isnt that that is causing this problem i just wait too till see confirmation message
SMS TWICE
Any suggestion ? Maybe any tweaks or reg modifications ? I wait for confirmation about sms sent, but after wakeup my wizard sending sms second time anyway .
Easy fix don't use Spb Plus
This not only goes for SPB Plus, but for every task manager that really closes apps instead of minimizing them like the standard Wm5 behaviour. They all close the tmail.exe too soon, thereby causing the app to think that the sms was not send and sending it again. Just wait for the "message sent"pop-up before you close the messaging app and you should be fine. Alternatively, you can make an exception in your task manager that tmail.exe is not really closed but only minimized. That also works of course.
I'm sure I'm not the only one having this issue and just wanted to know you thoughts...
My SMS threads with 400+ are really starting to take a while to open, one of my threads with 600+ takes over 8 seconds before it shows up after I select it (just shows the loading message) and then another 3 - 6 seconds before I can click on the message to reply... Other than deleting the thread, does anyone else know how to resolve this? I find it hard to believe that a 1GHz processor can't handle a thread of 600 messages...
By the way, I have HTX Sense turnes off, I'm running a stock HTC non animated background, only 3 widgets that don't do much, and nothing running in the background (by using Advanced Task Killer @ Fast Reboot).
Thanks You'all for your help!

I just want to say thanks- I've used this program before, but never noticed its superiority until now... it really is much faster and better in every way- now I just gotta figure out how to remove the stock SMS notification so I'm not clearing two notifications for each SMS...
Thanks Again,

Just open the stock messaging app, hit menu, settings, disable notifications.
Don't take this wrong - but why would you need/want/desire to keep 2000 text messages. Are you in a legal battle and need to document everything?
Keeping messages can come in handy, but I prefer to clear out occasionally, so I use SMSBackup (free app) and it copies all my messages to a folder in my GMail account, so I can still search them if I need to get a hold of something in the history. Not to mention the added plus of looking through my messages from a desktop when I want to find a number or address..
