SMS Icon still there (after the sending confirmation)

Hi guys,
I have a confirmation after a SMS is sent. Telling me "the sms is sent"
and an enveloppe will show at the top of the XDA2 (the same enveloppe you got when you received an Email)
But the enveloppe Icon won't go?? Unless I do a reset???
If I get an SMS and I read the SMS, then the Icon will go away.
But in this case since this is just a confirmation, and there is no SMS to read. I can't get the icon to leave??
can someone help?
thank you

This happens to me as well from time to time...I think it has to do with if you come out of the Inbox applet a little too soon, or sometimes if you don't click on the envelope icon once it appears.
One of those annoying little things but I don't think it does any harm to your messages or anything. A soft reset always clears it for me.

same here with ruu172104wwe on O2 XDAII, does happen 3-4 times a week, soft reset will wash the taskbar..

same here
Exactly as Anton says (same on XDAI). If you send an SMS message and exit the INBOX too quickly, the "sent" envelope gets stuck.
It's a bug! :roll:

never happent to me but i have heard that people with pocket plus who have not removed the option where it really do close applications insted of just minimizing them having this problem

Thank you
thank you
I was thinking I'm the only one.
Have a nice week-end

My problem is even worst! Sometimes, when I send an sms the small box-icon remains there and if I tap on it,..the beneficiary gets another sms once again!!
I have Spb Poket Plus & Spb Full Screen keyboard installed. Maybe it's due to those software!

iv been getting this with my m1000
and wadda ya kno.... iv got pocket plus running with the "close" option bit....

well if you got pocket plus
and do use the REAL close option
cant you just wait untill the sms is sent before
you close outlook
imho then the real close option is a bit of a problem
because ms never ment programs to be closed that way / at all

Hi there,...I contacted Sbp software and explain the problem,... I disabilited the "really close option" and the problem never appears. ... I close applications manually.
That's all folks

i dont really see it as sbp's problem but more as outlooks problem
if their request to send get messed up because of the sender being killed it's not really sbp's problem it's the way outlook is
of cause one may think it odd that sbp make their closing the default option

For Rudegar
Of course you are right! it's not sbp's problem. I immediately supposed it's an outlook problem. I really hope future versions of outlook would consider this fact. But the important for me was to stop SMS problems. Disallowing "close all" option solved it. And for me (and I think other people having this problem) it's more than acceptable.

sms icon
You need to add tmail.exe to the programs the Plus 2.0 marks as exceptions.
you need to open your inbox,then open Options of Plus 2.0 and add in the exceptions the last program opened(in this case the sms program which you opened...tmail.exe)
that should do it

It seems to be working fine!! many thanks jokz23!!

thank you very much

It seemed working fine,...
After my previous post, I added tmail.exe as exception,... The application didn't close. Good, I sent an sms. the icon didn't froze,...but my girlfriend got -3- sms
I think we only have to renounce "really close" function.

SERIOUSLY, please help with SMS torment!

Sorry to return to an older topic, but nobody answered me and this bug is really annoying...
Sometimes selecting a contact and "send Sms" from its card pulls up a blank SMS form, without the receiver's number already typed in. This happens with some contacts only, but... HOW DO I FIX THIS?
TIA,
yours truly (exhausted)

Hmm... have you tried recreating the contact?

This happened to me before, when sending text messages, or even emails, it lets you just click on the space provided and puts in the contact numbers. However for SMS, use your stylus and tap on the "To:" word.
Ta da! It's actually on the manual and I've been trying to figure this thing out for a while myself. Good luck

I have tried this on my qtek and does not have this bug. Do you need to send sms this way or can you not select message\new then select to to get list of contacts - may solve your problem. If not prob a ROM problem - did a quick search cannot find any references to new qtek italian rom so suggest you go to qtek italian website to look for new rom. Or upgrade to WWE ROM
Good luck

Cutejules: I know you can use that workaround, but still the problem remains. Why only a few contacts have this bug? How can it be solved?
Meschle: I don't think there is any upgraded IT rom, but I will look about the WWE thing (which I don't know anything about, but I'm sure there are infos about somewhere in this forum)

i dont think it pulls up a blank page, the problem I noticed after a while is it pulls up a sms page and shows you half way down the page as if you have scrolled down.
the work around = scroll back up.

the number should be saved as mobile, may be you saved it as somthing els like home or work.

Karzi: nope, it's the actual "To:" field which comes up blank.
Ammar: Nope again. The "missing" numbers are correctly listed as "mobile"
This is really driving me crazy...

Why wont anyone answer this question??? SMS Problem!

Ive seen this question asked several times during my search for the answer, but no one ever replies to it....
Since the upgrade WM6, the Reciepients name in the "to:" field within any new message will not auto complete...
I always have to fill in the number, or their name and select 'Check Names' in the menu and then choose my selection.
PLEASE will SOMEONE tell me the reg entry i need to alter, or the cab i need to (re)install to fix this chink in my BA's armour....
Many thanks in advance.

No one has answered this question cause probably no one has faced this problem after upgrading to WM6. I just now checked by creating new Text Message and when I hit at "To:", it opens up my contact list and I can pickup any number.

I know others have faced this problem 'cos several other people are asking for soloutions to the exact same issue, they just never recieved replies...
Also, yes mine works when i click the 'to:' button aswell, but it should predict the recipients name as you type it.
there are users on several platforms, not just BA, running WM6 roms with this exact same issue...
C'mon guys, PLEASE HELP!
Dickie

May be I dont understand your question!!
When I type "a" in the space, list of all names starting with 'a' opens up and gets shorter and shorter as I type more letters. What else do you expect it to do?

This is EXACTLY whats not working! this 'auto complete' function has stopped since the WM6 upgrade...

hey, i got the same issue also..
when i typed "A" in the recipient it dont auto complete with "a" contacts.
my solution is :-> type "a+space" then delete the space, the auto complete will come out with the "a" contact listings. hope it helps.. =D

I have always found it faster just to click on the to button and let that do the auto complete. I seem to always select the wrong contact with the auto complete in the actual message.

do you have other then English language support on your device?
I have Hebrew support, I have to type the first two letters and delete the last one -> then it source according to the first letter

SMS works fine for me but MMS doesn't do the predictive contact call up and it is a pain in the arse.
Not a big problem but a pain in the arse nonetheless.

did you install "htc dual keyboard + keypad". I installed this app, and the predictive contact search stop working on sms. After uninstallation, its working again.
as with mms, i dont think it has ever worked since 2003SE. you have to click "to:" and search within the contact list.

the answer to your proplem is :
this is because the contact are not stored in your PIM database, but on the SIM card, that is why they are not predicable but they can be accessed by pressing on the "to" button.
solution: use sim manager to save contacts to the phonebook
hope u find it helpful

that is what i was gonna say "life owner" you are correct according to the problem i had

i will NOT do that if i were you...
that would only make the predictive list double the names you have...
(Or you could delete the contacts in your simcard after you copied)
if you played with the options
in the Settings->Input->Word Completion.
i would suggest a hard reset
if you did the above and no changes was reflected.

thank god, someone agreeing this issues does exist and its not something i'm doing...
Although, typing a space after the first character, then deleting it does not bring up the auto complete.
But.. i did install "htc dual keyboard + keypad", which i will remove now to see if functionality returns..
Also.. my contacts are stored on the Phone, not the sim.
Cheers for your suggestions guys, i'll keep u updated...
Dickie
UPDATE - Removed "htc dual keyboard + keypad" and functionality is restored.... what exactly does this program do? if its supposed to skin the touch screen keyboard, it never worked for me anyway...
Cheers Guys!

"htc dual keyboard + keypad" give you big numbers and letters button (the idea is to allow you not to use stylus and use your thumb to type) AND it also give predictive english words feature.. and i guess it cannot co exist with the predictive contact feature of sms... i guess this is the most logical explanation... for me anyway

actually it's not an issue regarding auto-complete...
htc dual keyboard+keypad is filtering your input and displays it's own "one-liner" prediction and thus the default system Auto Word Completion doesnt kick in.
and it doesnt matter to the default auto-complete if it's in the phone or in the sim card... if you have two copies of one item... it will list double.
it's not an SMS problem... it's a program glitch(feature?). haha...

Hi I have the same problem.
i removed htc dual keyboard and its still not working!
do i need to enable some options some wherE?
Thanks

try to do what silver samurai suggested, the setting may have been changed:
start > settings > personal > input > word completion > place a tick mark on "suggest words when entering text"

I tried that and it didn't work.
Thanks

Bluetooth not receiving files, wont receive anything!

I can send files but not receive with bluetooth. I am paired up with my mates phone, he can see me, ive ticked the receive incoming files box, ive tried with and without the 'authentication passkey required' box ticked. I installed something 'obex inbox' but that did squat all. any ideas??

I had the same issue pal, in the "obex inbox settings" make sure that the default download directory points to an ACTUALLY EXISTING directory. If it doesn't then type in an existing path (i.e. "\Storage Card\[a folder of your choosing that actually exists]). Browsing did not work for me, i had to manually insert the path. I guess it is probably a localisation's issue, but after this little trick everything came back to normal and i could send/receive files without any problems. Hope this works for you

Hi mate! This also happened to me after installing an application that i think is not compatible with xperia and i just hard reset my phone to fix it.
Can you explain in details what you did to correct the problem? I would really appreciate it and thanks in advance.

<error in post, removed>

Where can i find the "obex inbox settings"?

Yes i have the same problem. I am not sure if i had installed a programm that isn't compatible with xperia. I hav installed some games and some progs. Can i solve the problem by unistalling the progs or have i also to do a hard reset??
PS: Sorry for my bad englisch.

it won't do you any good as that is what i have done also. let just wait for MacCarron to further explain what he did or if you can't wait just hard reset your phone but be sure to backup of your contacts first.

When im in Setting>Connections>Obex Inbox, I cannot find 'Settings'. The two soft keys at the bottom just display whatever program is running 'benneath' it. When i press on the three dots '...' next to the 'File store path' text box nothing happens. In this text box there is already the path '\Storage Card\FTP' and I have manually created a folder 'FTP' in my storage cards root directory. Did you guys have this same problem?
I still cannot receive bluetooth files!

Why can´t I find this menu "Setting>Connections>Obex Inbox" ??

You need to download it and install it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=140860&d=1230506044

It sounded really odd to us when we tried the Bluetooth, but the magic word is Beam, you need to go to Setting -> Connection ->Beam -> and tick the box "Receive all incoming beams.
No installs or downloads anything else needed for me. I think it's the same for the HTC handset, maybe for all Windows Mobile phones, correct me if I am wrong, would be interesting to find out.

I have ticked the box, but nothing happens. I still can't receive anything.
I also have tried Obex Inbox. I changed the settings, but that doens't help.
Is here somebody that has another idea instead of a hard reset? Probably unistalling all programms that aren't compatibele with Xperia.
Does anyone know how i can find out which programm is compatible and which isn't??
Please help.

as i've told you before uninstalling apps will not make any difference mate because i've tried it before until i came to the point that all that was left was the original apps in my xperia. anyway maybe others can share their experience too including a solution. as for now after the hard reset i am more careful with the apps i'm installing as reading every comments of all users and being sure that it is really compatible with wm 6.1 and xperia

Have you tried "revisiting the box"? It has a habit of unticking itself, it si on mine anyway.

I have been using the OBEX Inbox cab...
I love it!! No problems with on my X1i generic UK ROM!
On the OBEX file transfer problem here is a little insight from a problem I had!!
I installed PocketMax Phone Alarm. And I started to have the exact same Problem!! But I still could active sync too!!
What I found out, it was messing with the the OBEX Service Mask Setting!!
So to allow OBEX File transfers to work correctly.
You must make sure these setting are correct in the registry!!
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\
:IsEnabled- 0x1(1)
:ObexServiceMask- 0x3(3)
hth,
Stuart

Possible Solution! (If your using Phonealarm)
I've had the same problem with not being able to receive bluetooth files on my xperia.
Turns out its PhoneAlarm thats blocking them.
Under Profiles, make sure the setting "Activate IR" is on.

yes, there's no need to install anything just to receive and/or send files over bluetooth.
when you attempt to receive, do you see any pop up message prompting if you want to receive (if you have previously click yes, then it'll be default for subsequent receiving from the same device)
if your device is receiving but you ended up seeing no files in your folder, it could be that your device is running out of storage.

SMS problems

Hey everyone,
I've got an issue with my Dutch T-Mobile X1, my SMS messages don't show up correctly. On the SE panel it shows that there are new messages, for example 2 new sms. But when I check the inbox there is nothing new.
I updated the phone yesterday through update service in the hope that it would fix it, beforehand it (the SE panel) would for example say that there 70(!) new messages. But I fear the update didn't fix anything.
Also, messenges that I've sent show up in my inbox? What's up with that?
If I knew a screenshot-maker I could post some screens to better illustrate the problem.

I have the same problem with my X1. The Home-Screen shows one unread sms-message but my sms inbox is completely empty, also the other sms folder are empty.
I have tried the following things:
- unistalled xperia tweak software
- soft reset
- restore sms/mms data from my spb backup file
- send me a new sms and tried to delete ALL
Also I have searched in the registry for a key to change, but I haven't found one.
Could anybody help me?

My SW revision is R2AA006

(watch which ver. of SW you have before downloading)
2. using tweak tool, disabled "conversation style SMS / MMS"
3. reboot
4. \o/ woot.. sent msg-s are no more in INBOX
well, I guess I didn't Google good enough

maybe this helps you
