hii all,
i have just bought an o2 xda2 last week, i oftenly recieved double delivery report when i am sending a short message. i think that something error with my cell phone provider. but as i check and recheck, i found out that my xda2 sent the message twice (although i just only click the "sent" button once), and i'm loosing twice credit on it. sigh...
anybody having the same problem as mine? any solution?
and second.. i'm wondering if i can make delivery report activated as default.. ? thx 4 the reply..
Are you using a memory manager like Battery Pack, Pocket Plus etc?
These can be set to close an application, rather then send to the background. What can happen, is that you send an SMS, then close Inbox before it has verified the message send, so next time you open it, it sends again.
If you do use a mem manager, remember to wait a few seconds before closing Inbox, or set the manager to meinimise Inbox rather than close it.
The only foolproof way to request delivery reports is by putting *0# thena space before the text of any message. This does reduce the available message by 4 characters, but is a universal command. (set *0# as a setting in My Text)
I like being able to send a message, and getting a delivery report back. But I don't like having to delete them everytime, especially when I send a message to 10 people and get 10 reports back.
It would be excellent if someone could write a program that checks for incoming delivery report messages, disects the message to find the message being reffered etc, flags the original message as delivered, and then deletes the report message.
The way a message is flagged as delivered could be an icon, or making the message italic. For messages that were sent to multiple users, I guess the name of the message can change to include 2/10. That doesn't tell who has received what yet I guess. Maybe the body of the message can be modified to include pending recipients.
what do you think?
hello all, this is my first post on your forum, i'd like to ask if there's a way to prevent delivery reports to SMS's from being sent when i receive SMS's. I use Call SMS blocker but when i set it to block incoming SMS's the delivery report is sent, so the sender actually knows that his SMS reached its destination. I would really like to able to receive SMS's without sending delivery reports, but i don't know if it can be achieved. I have the v1640.
Delivery Reports like this are controlled and sent by your telecoms provider, not your device.
When you send an SMS, your device informs you that it has been sent to the network...if necessary, the SMS is transferred to the end users home network and when the SMS is sent from the network to the end users device a delivery report is then sent back to your device (if delivery report was requested in the SMS)
You cant stop it
yes i am already aware of that, but i was wandering if somehow i managed to intervene with the reception of SMS's and fool the network into believing that the SMS has not been delivered to me, like when the phone is off for example. There must be some kind of talking between the network and the phone regarding the reception of SMS's.
The network sends the delivery notification when it sends the SMS to your phone, and it send the SMS to your phone when your phone is visible.
The only way you can stop these notifications is to turn your phone off - you cant intervene with the network provider, they wont let you and yyou cant change the standards set for SMS
The other thing is, if you managed to somehow stop the network being told you had received the SMS, presumably, it would just keep trying to send it to you.
Ouch!
There is always a way
After receiving an SMS message, the recipient mobile phone will send back a message delivery report to the SMS center to inform whether there are any errors or failures (example causes: unsupported SMS message format, not enough storage space, etc). This process is transparent to the mobile user. If there is no error or failure, the recipient mobile phone sends back a positive delivery report to the SMS center. Otherwise it sends back a negative delivery report to the SMS center.
If the sender requested a status report earlier, the SMS center sends a status report to the sender when it receives the message delivery report from the recipient.
Once your phone receives the SMS, you can decide whether to block it. In case you wanna block it, the application has to simply send a Storage full / Message format not supported Error to the message station instead of normal status.

i tried googling.... but can't find such s/w... can u pls help me wid dat.....
Guys,
To the best of my knowledge you'd need to know the exact SMASI interface being used by the operator and then find a public API to be able to call it.
I've done it on a server level in Perl, but not on a device level.
Has there been any progress here?

Hello guys,
9yrs since the question first appeared. Has anyone had any success on this?
I have removed SMS app by rooting my android mobile. I tried to send SMS to that device and guess what? Of course, I did not received any SMS because I had removed SMS app completely by rooting but at the same time my second phone from which I had sent SMS received "delivered" report !!! How come?

Hi, i believe that the messages app isn't responsible for the delivery reports process. It is only responsible for showing the sms and sending. I have a messages service app in my phone so i think it is the one responsible for that, or there is another reason. For now I'm still searching and i will try some tinkering in my phone until i achieve a result and the I'll post it on XDA
Hi,
In some countries, if you send sms to landline phone via cellphone, you will receive delivery report!

So sending a failure delivery report to the SMS center will also send a failure delivery report to the recipient mobile phone? This would not be a complete solution to prevent delivery report but a way to prevent a successful delivery report. The sender could still track if the device is connected to the network.
If I remember correctly, I noticed that when some mobile network operators are overwhelmed with SMS, for example at the time of New Year's Eve in France, SMS can be received (sometimes delayed) but no delivery report is sent.
Also, if someone sends an SMS to a mobile phone that is powered off or in flight mode for several days, the SMS may never be delivered. I had this kind of issue with Lycamobile Germany and sometimes the SMS was delayed for several hours if the mobile phone was just powered off or in flight mode for a few minutes while the SMS was sent.
No there must be some way for real for example u can receive calls while it says your phone is shut down to the caller so if that can be done this can be also.
I am also looking for the same since long.....
Is there a prog or tweak, that automatically send the sms delivery report to the deleted items list. I like to know that SMS has been delivered but don't like manually deleting them. Anyone know anything? Thanks in advance.
I'm Interested in this as well.

Thanks I am using this wonderful program, but doesn't do what I want. I still have to press delete manually. What I want is only delivery reports landing up in the deleted box. So that I receive the delivery report but not necessarily as a pop up, and if I want to check whether msg has been delivered I can always go to deleted items and check.
This can be done with mortscript
Hi all! I have a question about the SMS delivery notifications in Blackstone. Is there a way to get a sms status report on already sent SMS?
Long time before the Blackstone I had another WinMo pda and it has a menu option on each of the messages to check if the selected message is delivered okay. And that doesn't look up at the local history, but makes a new "delivery request".
So, is there a way to use similar functionality on Blackstone?
Thanks.
doubt it the status report is something the device request your phone company when the sms is send doubt any of them offer a service for old sms
If i remember correctly, that service was available about a couple of days after the sms was sent.
