Had enough/the last straw/Bin time

Hello all that read this. I was so looking forward to receiving my XDAII which i'd bought unsimmed, it was going to change the way i communicated for ever. It arrived on time and it unlocked very easily and i placed my Vodafone sim into it. That was where the problems started, firstly Voda & O2 didn't really want to know that i couldn't connect the GPRS but after a look at this forum i did infact sort that out. I then attempted to sort out the MMS part without any luck what so ever. The thing connects to the server but tries to send but then just leaves the message in drafts. Then when i started to receive sms messages i could not reply to them in the same menu, i had to go to the phone menu and reply to the sms from there, how stupid is that! I am so gutted that having spent many hours, lots of money (don't tell the gf) that i am left with what appears to be a piece of rubbish which cost £500.

No problem replying to a SMS.
Just keep the stylus on the SMS in the list you want to reply to and choose "Reply".
Or if the SMS is open, just choose in the bottom the letter with the green arrow...
Grtz,
Jos

Calm down ! Remember, you are trying to use an XDA II on a network for which Vodafone won't currently offer support. However, it should be entirely possible to get it to work with a bit of patience. I recently started using my O2 XDA II on Orange and it took me a couple of days to figure out the settings needed. I can try and walk you through the process if you like. There are a couple of quirky settings required to get it to work with Orange and I wouldn't be surprised if Vodafone were them same. Leave me a PM if you are interested. Once we've sussed it out, we can then publish the results for everyone else to enjoy.
Firstly, have you managed to establish a reliable GPRS connection with Vodafone yet?

Have you sorted this yet?
I've got all the vodafone settings if you are still interested....

After Rom Upgrade I got every 5 mins a SMS from an unknown?

Hi guys,
I´ve done the ROM update from O2 Germany (xda_16052ger_o2.exe) on my XDA2. I am using a Vodafone Germany card in my XDA not O2. After the update I receive every 5 mins a SMS from an unknown sender. Often there is no text included, sometimes some stupid messages are included (0211 0203 or "Alles bestens"). It really a pain! Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance - Zockerman

i got a similar thing form orange uk, when they enabled roaming. Every 5 mins or so i got a text from 56347 with letters and numbers in (even had my phone number in the message). They said they had never heard of this problem before. Weird thing was i'd only get the texts when in signal. If out of signal the texts stopped (i.e. didn't stack up and get 100's when i went back in range)
I complained to orange who said it wasn't their problem. Nearly a 1000 texts later and more calls to orange, they left a message to say it had been dealt with. No more texts and no explination!

hi Zockermann,
i think that's something special for us german (vodafone) customers. got to start/einstellungen/telefon/mehr on you device and select Übertragungskanäle Aktivieren hit ok and then again telefon/mehr and deselect Übertragungskanäle Aktivieren. this should do the trick. and don't remeber to do this after every softreset...

Thanks for your really fast replies.
@JAtoAC your "trick" works fine...
My problem ist solved now ... SUPIIII THX

hi JoToAc,
Can you please translate it to english on how to remove the sms from unknown sender.
Many thanks
Fresly

Still impossible to send sms

I just bought my htc HD2 and upgrader to official rom 1.62, i think, released from last january, then i had this bug for sending sms. i upgraded the radio, twice, 2 versions, no way,
used the official rom, then three roms of the best cookers her, thanks to them for all the work
But, no way to send the sms, i receive instead something from my operator telling that i'm using a bad adress, something like that.
I read all around the site, and this seems to affect just some users.
but from another side, someone with the same issue desactivated the sms function with shap's utility, and solved it.
i don't know what to do, please help, is this a hardware issue?

have you tried getting the settings resent from your network provider?

It's not the normal sms bug you have. You have a problem with the settings.
Contact your provider and ask for the sms settings.
Or visit the a shop that have this provider and the HD2 and ask for help.

Thanks for the replay.
When i started with the phone, with Orange france, i think i was able to send some messages. but then i updated to several roms to hope resolve the problem. i'm receiving areplay from the provider just after sending every sms saying 'your message can't be treated else you have no credit, or you use a destination non authorized!!!!"

i cheked the parameter for the server provider, it's ok. nothing wrong on this side. Really strange to buy a handset 550$ and to be without sms function, i regret really having sold the Iphone 3Gs, at least i could do the basic things.

As I wrote, it is NOT the sms bug that is making problems on your phone.
Because with the SMS bug, the SMS never left the phone.
If you get a message from the provider, then it is the provider making problems, not the phone.
So either the telephone nr is wrong, or the settings or some strange thing in the ROM when used with your provider.
I suggest you test with another SIM card. Borrow a SIM card from a friend to test. Test both with the same provider and a different provider just to find out. Also, if you post what provider you use, maybe someone here can help U with correct settings.
But I agree there have been to many bugs on this phone. I had much less problems with the Touch HD, but HD2 is so much faster that i prefer the HD2.

U should also contact your provider with this problem since they are making the problem.

You are right!
Here is what i did.
i have another sim card from another provider, i switched the two sim from the two phones, and when i use the new sim hd2 configure automatically the settings. then i send the message from the HD2 to other handset with the faulty sim-provider-config or whatever. the message is delivered in 2seconds! so definetely strange thing here.
I cheked the setting - number for sms server, it's ok. back with my principal sim on hd2, and again no way to send the sms. really strange!!!
thanks anyway for the good help. i appreciate

delay recieving sms

sometimes i get my sms late, although it says the exact time the sms was sent, i still recieve it 2 hours later,
when i send an outgoing message, all my sms's come flooding in.. is there a fix for this.. is anyone else experiencing the same prob ??
i am on rom 1.66, official htc

what full rom version you using?
what network you on?
country?
has this been happening long time or recently?

it has been happening recently it was more common before the sms fix, its not all sms's just sometimes,and sometimes i dont recieve the sms at all
i am in uk, on o2 network, using the htc 1.66 rom, the one off the htc website,
i am SO close to selling this and getting an iphone

Give O2 a ring, I had this issue with my Nokia E90, and it turned out to be a corrupt message on their servers.

thanks mate,

dont think its the network mate, gave them a call.. cud it be the htc, becos the sms problems over the past are well known !

its a network problem genrally

delayed sms sound
I have similar problem on htc iolite since the new coocket roo303oom. The message sound is delayed to when i unlock my screen.

Im having exactly the same problem. Im on o2 uk and its really starting to get on my tits.
I sometimes get them an hour or 2 after they are sent, yet they are date stamped with the time they were actually sent. Did you manage to get to the root of the problem? I called o2 weeks ago about it and they just suggested i try a new sim, which they promptly sent me but it has made absolutely no difference. Is this a phone problem or a network problem?

Both of you on O2, I doubt it's got something to do with the phone.

sort of same issue with my HTC HD2 on Voda UK.
MEssages being sent or recived are not arriving on my phone!!
thinking of getting rid of phone now!!

just to annoy you mine works fine on virgin in the uk

Mine works fine on T-Mobile too

SMS delay
could somebody PLEASE find a fix for this !!!,

this is a widespread problem with htc's , if u google , late sms, you wil find, people on all networks are having this problem
i have contacted them and they say it could be the phone

Hi everybody,
I'm still experiencing this problem. That happened after the last ROM upgrade (see attached screenshot for current versions).
The message arrived a couple of hours later. Not it's about 24 hours or I don't receive the messages at all.
This might be a coincidence, but I often was browsing with Opera when the messages finally showed up.
I'm using Zenyee disable htc messaging 1.2 as I'm syncing with an Exchange 2010.
It's definitely not the provider, but the phone. I've put my simcard in a standard cell phone where the messages arrived in an instant.
Anybody got an idea?

It not the network, its a file in HTC phones. I havent been able to figure out what was causing it until now. I am 90% sure I know the culprit, but I am not 100% sure. I am on a TP2 and I just ran across this problem today after I installed a cooked rom I made, before everything was fine. I am in the process of testing this theory out. I should have a better idea by either days end, or at latest by tomorrow. I am testing 3 packages out at the moment to see if my theory is correct.
Will keep you posted.

I have the same problem too or sometimes I only get the text if I unlock the phone then I get 3 texts at once also sending text if it has more then 160 but less than 180 (i think ) then ppl don't seem to get my text weird no lol

I've had this problem in my HTC Trinity...
Fortunately I don't have it in the Leo...

Omnia 7 Call Ended Error

I bought a used phone from internet website, its worked great and it was locked on T-mobile UK. I got it unlocked from fastgsm and used my tesco sim with the phone.
The phone worked great for couple of days and on the third day it worked upto 11am (that is when i made the last call on the phone) and after that i am getting 00:00 Ended every time i press call even to voice mail.
it does not call anyone no texts either and when someone calls me it says the phone is switched off.
Steps i have taken to fix the issue:
I have swapped different sim cards.
i reset my phone through settings and diagnosis code.
I have updated the firmware to the 7740
I have installed a new unbranded UK retail firmware. its still running this firmware.
I have checked if the imei is blocked or stolen or something on a few websites nothing came up.
I have searched XDA to see if someone else has this problem and there are quite a few people here with the same problem but no solution.
I need help i have no idea what to do next
everything else on the phone works great no problems wlan connection keeps it connected and all the other features are fine its just the phone calls and text msgs which i cannot send or receive.
i have tested my sim on other phone it seems to be fine.
Please help i am not sure what to do next.
thank you and regards

Call Samsung support.

I've got a very similar problem - I can access the internet with my SIM but I can't make a call or send a text.
Omnia 7 - originally on orange but unlocked.
Any help appreciated.

ok then xda cant help me with this problem lets see if samsung support can do something about it. i have called them and i am taking the phone to their service center.
wish me luck i will report back if there is any news for other people with similar problem.

I have the same problem. Ive done almost all the steps as you have. Im beginning to think that its a hardware related problem. Maybe the sim-reader.. Well, i bought another phone but I hope to fix it anyway. I'll be back to check your progress in the matter.. gl
I can also contribute that I did the unlock via fastgsm.. (without any errors) And that may be the cause. But 1 thing is different though, I could never make any calls at all. You said that u were making calls.. I had a very long email conversation with fastgsm that ended with him not responding to me at all. But that was some time ago and I deleted the emails.. Not that I think it would help. Now I use the phone as a surfing pad (wifi/data ok) its sad really... lol

That's a terrible problem, I feel for you guys.
Definitely get it contact with your provider or SAMSUNG to get a replacement.
I can't think of any settings which you could change other than the obvious ones.
