I normally have my Mini S on suspend when it's in the pouch. I have for some reason been unable to recieve messages. The last SMS I got was from O2 when I turned the phone on the 1st time. Can anyone help me out on this? I don't really need MMS...just SMS.
Not receiving? or not getting the notification?
If its not receiving, how long has it been? networks sometimes get screwed up and hold messages in the server for ages. having said that "since i first turned the phone on" sounds like longer than 24 hrs.
Put the sim in another phone (if poss) - does it work?
I cant think of any real settings for SMS, they just arrive! If the SMS works in another phone follow it up here and hopefully someone will eb able to help. if it doesn't work in another phone, its a network issue - call O2.
If its the notifications you are missing, let us know - thats much easier!
I will give it a go in another phone but it's been a week since I turned the phone on. I'm not totally sure what you're referring to as notifications but I just don't see any messages when I go to the Text Messages folder in POE.
Ok...here's what I did, I stuck my sim into my friend's mobile and no backlog of SMSes arrived. I put the sim back in mine and then had him send me a message. Thing is the device was not suspended and I recieved the message immediately. I have my device normally in the suspend state. Could that be the problem?
I have my wizard in suspend (time out, press top button once etc) and have no problems picking up messages, they wake the device.
Notifications = the beep or sound for a text, wakes the device and puts the left softkey to show you have a SMS - it gives a preview there.
You say when you swapped out your sim you didn't get a backlog of messages so there isn't a load on the server waiting for you.
Last possible idea from me atm, you're not in the e-mail or MMS inbox are you? just checking
Well, I have checked the notifications and no, they're set as they should be and I do check the Text Messages folder. I have yet to setup email anyway :?
I wonder...if it's a network problem...damnable.
it sounds to me that its a phone issue not network. i'm on 02 and have now problem when my mini s is in stanby mode. it just switches on and beeps and a notification window appears.
cheers
Ok, now after subscribing to SMS.ac (just to send 1 single message and then terminate it) I got a total of 4 messages -1 confirmation for joining, 1 confirmation of joing, 1 test message, 1 cancellation message.
I cancelled when I noted that it was .5 / message :shock:. I'm puzzled. Maybe there was indeed a problem with the sim?

im having problems with my notifications of SMS, i recieve them fine but get no notification at all, i chack the sound settings and its all set up the same as standard but i get nothing any help??
It could just be a coincidence....
but ever since I've had my HD, I'm losing text messages. I've had people say they've sent me a text but I've never received them. I've even sat next to someone and got them to send me a text (with delivery reports turned on) and it says it's been delivered, but the text never arrived.
it happens randomly though so difficult to trace.
Like I said, it could just be coincidence, but this morning I went to my phone and found 4 text messages sat in my outbox that hadn't been sent...no warning, no alarm, they just never went. I had to reset my phone before they would go.
I'll give O2 a call but I know the response I'm going to get...nothing wrong that they can see!!!
starting to get frustrating as I could have missed lots of important texts
This is strange indeed. Have you also tried looking in the full inbox? Not just in TouchFlo 3D...
I don't use TF3D so it wont be that. I've just set up bluebook on o2 so if messages appear in there but not on my phone then I'll know it's a system problem and not a phone problem.
and since the O2 customer service system has been down ever since I got my phone they can't even help me look into it!!
So this morning I go to send a couple text messages from my Tab and they wont send... just a red circle with an X. No explanation, nothing...
Awhile later I try to make a call from my G2 and am redirected to 611 with a message stating my service had been temp. disconnected because of fraudulent activity on my account????
The woman explains that when the Tab account was set up, they had no enabled unlimited text messages and the 3600 text messages I had sent/received in three weeks were billed at $.20 each. I asked how this was possible and she said that although the Tab plan does include unlimited text messages, it must be enabled separately and the sales associate had not done this.
She went ahead and made the changes and turned my damn phone back on...

That blows bro! I didnt have this issue when I got my Tmobile tab. Crazy I say!!!
wow $720 worth of texts! i would of died. lol
I've got a GS5 on Verizon in the NY area. My txt messaging is really broken. I don't get txt messages until the next day. When they come in I get 40 of them at 1 time.
Many times I receive the same text from the same person 10 times in a row although they sent it only once. Outgoing is hit or miss.
My phone is rooted. Is there something I may have accidentally turned off or froze? It's killing me.

This problem may be due to network issue.
You should ask your service provider/mobile operator to investigate the problem.
Recently, my Galaxy S5 will refuse to send a SMS unless I reboot the phone, this happens at least once/twice a day.
The text message will constantly display the round spinning sending icon, then a notification will say text failed to send (resending doesn't work)
S5 is on Three, not rooted - Three sent a SMS to me a few weeks ago addressing this issue and that simply updating the phone would resolve it... except my phone was already up to date.
Is this an issue with my phone or should I contact Three about this? - (try and demand an early upgrade with 8 months left lol)
Many thanks
