SMS Problems in WM5.0

Hello everyone,
Ever since I upgraded to WM5.0 (Magneto) I started having problems sending SMS. Under WM2003 and WM2003SE it was working fine.
I can receive them OK, but unfortunately I just can't reply nor create a new message.
I always get a "Your text message cannot be sent."
No matter what I do, it's always the same error!
I have checked my Text Message Service Center number (Telcel) which is :+5294100001410 (I verified this number from another phone I have).
Have you experienced any problems with SMS once you upgraded to Magneto?
Any ideas?...
Thanks in advance,
Rayan

try removing the countrycode and see if it helps

I've actually found that some carriers dont like the additional characters for punctuation:
I'm
can't
don't
won't
etc .. once I remove those there are no issues in sending the message

Thanks Rudegar, but can you explain a little more about this?
Are you talking about the carrier name? (i.e. O2, TMOBILE, etc)? Should I change it to TELCEL (my carrier)? Leave it blank? or is it something else I need to edit on the ROM? I tried looking for the 44 00 65 00 76 00 41 00 HEX String in the nk.nba file but found nothing.
@ itr2401, it's possible, but I have tried to send very simple texts (i.e. abcdefg) and still no good!...
P.S.- I even tried changing Radio versions but it did not fix anything (except that 1.17 is more stable, better signal and quicker mode changes but this is another topic).
Thanks!
Rayan

i dont know just was an idear to try and remove the country code part of the nr
as in +5294100001410 nr with country code
94100001410 nr without country code
the + and the first 2 nr's are country code's

Okay... Finally found the solution to my problem...
I just learned that my provider had given me an old SIM card (Type: GEMPLUS V1), well, actually, I have this SIM Card since a long time ago, and that was ok with Windows Mobile 2002, 2003 and 2003SE. But it appears that Windows Mobile 5.0 has problems reading it or it's not 100% compatible. (according to my provider, some new top-of-the-line mobile phones have problems with old SIMs too.)
So I went to my nearest Telcel Customer Service Center and purchased a brand new SIM Card (Type: H1 V3.5) and transfered my phone number to that new SIM Card and that did the trick!!!
With the new V3.5 SIM Card I'm able to send and receive Text Messages again!!!
Thanks for your valuable ideas guys!!!

contacts showing sim and phone contacts

as the title says since i flashed with crossbow when i open contacts i see all the contacs which are on the sim and all contacs which are on the phone.
which means alot of the contacts are double
with all other (pre-crossbow) roms i never had that problem, i couldnt find anything using the search. so i ask if anyone know a way to "fix" this or make an option to only show phone or sim contacts?

change registry as follows:--
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
ShowSim=0
It should work...

the key wasnt there so i added it.
but it didn't work, als tried ShowSim=1 and also tried altering the other keys there (AllLang and Group) but no effect
thanks for the effort though

Works!
Hello, go under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone and you'll find the ShowSIM value. Set to 0 and you will not see anymore your SIM contacts

the key wasnt there so i added it, this one worked
thanks

Well, was my first message in this forum, I'm happy was useful ;-)

Switching Phonebook memory,..

Hey guys,...this could be pretty silly question but here i go,...
I just started using HTC Touch Dual and I cant seem to find the setting for switching phone book memory,...I just copied all my sim contact to the phone memory and now all the entries on my phonebook are doubled. (sim & phone contacts),...thanks in advance for any help
by the way,..phone runs on windows mobile 6.1 pro
thanks again

search in the forum, there is a registry setting here to "hide" sim contacts

My contacts aren't showing fully in Touch

Hey guys,
I need some help, just got the HTC Touch and I'm using a 3G sim card with it. Problem is, when I go to contacts, I can only see up to 200+ contacts in my SIM Card. I've downloaded asukal SIM Manager and it still showed around 200+ contacts. Now I know I have more than this, I plugged my SIM card into another phone and it showed my contacts no problem so my contacts aren't lost.
If it helps, the SIM Manager says in SIM information;
Total phonebook size: 250
Phone book entries: 206
etc..
And the funny thing is, when I create a new contact it will be saved in the SIM Card contacts.
Anybody can help?
Thanks in advance

Can anybody help? I like this phone but I'll sell it if I can't solve this problem.

The SIM CARD has a limit for contacts: up to 250.
But maybe, there is a limitation from viewing it.
Have you tried the "Advanced Config" application? You can download it from www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi .
It a great program to manage the cellphone.

SMS messaging displaying duplicate contacts

Hi there,
I'm having a small problem when I come to type text messages. When I add recipient, I have 2 entries for all my names; one sim and one contacts. I had a similar problem in my 'people' folder but there was a menu option to display sim only contacts. However there doesn't appear to be a similar option in the messaging menu. Does anyone know how I can overcome this so I only have one number displayed for each of my contacts?
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem and would like to know if anyone has a fix for this. Most annoying and has led me to delete all my contacts from my SIM card, which is not ideal as I like it as a backup...

Yes I was thinking of deleting all mine from sim card too but as you say, not an ideal solution if phone then ends up having a major crash!

BsB Tweaks and disable "show sim contacts"??

thanks ill give that a try. I'm quite new to all this as you can probably tell

hmmm..... I've installed the bsb tweaks (very useful program), and turned off the option for show sim contacts, but I still have the duplicate entries in messaging. any more ideas?

anyone have any other ideas regarding this issue? the option in bsb tweaks does not appear to make any difference.
thanks

does anyone know why I am still having this issue? I've installed latest version of BsB tweaks but I still get my sim contacts displayed when txting

Did you by any chance do a ROM upgrade and restored data from a back up software?
On the duplicate contacts, do you see a blank face and a sim card or two blank faces?

no not performed any ROM updates, just running the O2 rom (1.43)
when I go to add recipient after typing a txt, there is both the blank face and the sim card symbol for each contact

soft reset?

I had this problem, deleted all contacts from the device and just used SIM contacts. Works a charm. Use 'select all' and then delete...but make sure you are on the device list and not the SIM list, or you'll accidentally delete your SIM contacts (mind you, you could always copy them back if they're still on the device).

What I did is, I copied all my sim contacts to phone, then I selected to hide Sim contacts. I don't get any duplicates.

That works in the contacts list but doesn't seem to in the text messaging app.

Anyone solve this yet?
