I've noticed something that my ancient Nokia phone would do, but that WinMo is missing.
If you tried to send an SMS but didn't have signal, the message would go into your outbox. Then when you had signal again the phone would send the message automatically without intervention.
But on WinMo, the message fails and ends up in drafts.
Does anyone know a way of having the message sent automatically when coverage comes back?
I'm interested too...
Me too. I asked this same question in the "Questions and answers" forum here, as I didn't think it would be device specific.
Does anyone knows how to leave sms in outbox? It's stupid that sms are left in drafts...
That would solved my problems with errors when sending (sometimes)...

Can it be done with somekind of reg tweaking?

Phone: MDA
Provider: T-Moble
OS: 2.21
Has anyone else noticed that with the T-Mobile MDA, unsent messages (due to lack of signal) go to DRAFTS (which must be manually sent later) instead of being held in OUTBOX for when I have signal?
I actually upgraded my ROM thinking that would resolve the issue but it does not. Perhaps there is a registry tweak I need.
Any help/ideas would be most appreciated.
yeah, i have to agree its bloody stupid. what idiot thought that would be a good idea ffs.
a reg hack would be great.

I am curious now how many other people have this problem, particularly Wizard users. If this is something specific to T-Mobile I might try another provider's rom to eliminate the problem.
Is this sms or outlook msgs (or both). I know that sms goes to drafts (not fixed in any WM version I know) but outlook email should go to outbox. I'm using the cingular wizard.[/quote]
Its SMS messages. So this is a function of Windows Mobile? Gawd what a stupid feature!
i must agree i wish they would go to outbox i hate having to go back to drafts and resend half the time i forget about them
It is a stupid idea, but surely something that could be fixed by a kindly app ?
I don't know about anyone else, but I've never had a phone that automatically sends when there is signal. It always saves to drafts and I have to send it later.
mine sends auto if there is signal.. but if its over 6txt msg long it sends to drafts cuz there is a timeout on it.. if we can figure out how to change the time-out or attempts made maybe we can come up with some sort of hack that will make it keep tryin until it goes thru!
My nokia 3650 always used to try to resend any unsent messages at a specific interval. I think you could even input how many times to try to re send.
i have it too, and the same thing was true when i was on wm2003se
it would be so much bettre if it auto sent once a signal picked up

Any bog-standard SonyEricsson or Nokia will do this. It's such as simple thing you'd assume MS would get it right, on what is after all version 5 of their phone OS.

I had a SE T610 and a S700i and both of them would just say "Sending Failed" and save the message in drafts, which do not auto-send.
Hello All,
Something weird is happening with my MDA (Rom 2.26), whenever someone send an email to my cellphone email ([email protected]) I receive the text as a MMS message instead of a Text Message and I have to download it in order to read the message.
If someone sends me an SMS I receive it as a Text Message. So the problem seems to be only when someone email my cellphone. This was working fine (received emails as Text Messages) few weeks ago and know it doesn't work anymore and I'm been charged 25 cts per message instead of 10 cts.
T-Mobile said that they don't know what is wrong and that I should "hard reset" my MDA and test again....
Do you have any ideas of what could be the problem? Any hacks?
Thanks
Freddy
There is a discussion about this issue in HF: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037868
Does anybody here have the same problem?
I read your topic on HF and here and still have the same conclusion i had when i opened this topic and read your initial post... It is a T-Mobile network issue. The phone dosen't determine what an MMS or SMS is to the extent that it will convert one to the other. T-Mobile is sending you an MMS. Currently for me that is not the case. Maybe they are phasing out the SMS legacy support since pretty much every device now is MMS capable and this is starting in some markets.
Either way, no one here can tell you as we don't work for T-Mobile (though i can't speak for everyone so a T-Mobile employee might be lurking somewhere) and there is nothing you can do because there isn't a "problem" with your phone. Well you can call T-Mobile and complain; that is your best bet.
Hi I saw similar post in two other threads but nobody answered.
Problem with WM6 when you are in bad reception area, and send an SMS the phone does not keep trying to send until it gets reception - it tries for a while then puts a message of not been sent in the inbox.
Is there a registry setting that can be modified?
Cheers,
Alistair.
Hi there,
I've done a search and can't find anything relevant to this query.
But I wonder if there's a piece of software that will automatically keep trying to send sms messages if the send initially fails.
I quite liked this feature on old nokias I've had where if I had no signal when I sent an sms it would just keep trying to send it every 5 mins until it went.
It's quite irritating on the THD where I have to keep trying from the outbox.
Thanks for any info
Justin
I've been trying to send a multimedia message (the size is only 46K), but the message keeps going to my outbox and is then returned to the drafts folder after an error message pops up -"Unable to send your message(s). The message(s) will remain in the Drafts folder." Has anyone else come across this? The signal/reception's strong, and the message isn't big, so that shouldn't be a problem either. I sent one yesterday without any fuss, but I'm on my fifth attempt to send one today with no luck.
are your settings good? (are you able to send an other MMS?)
I had something familiar with my 'old' touch cruise, when it wasn't able to send I retyped the message and then it was able to send (or I had to repeat this one more time)
good luck!
Thanks for replying!
I tried retyping the message, again with no luck, and then I tried sending a different message (12K in size) to a different recipient, and it did the same thing. I asked a friend to send me an MMS, which at first I didn't receive. Now, 15 minutes later, everything works normally again, and I've managed to send and receive MMS messages. I guess it must have just been problems with Orange's server. D'oh!
i have the same problem , i received mms but i cant send.
i got a message "unauthorized".
my operator said that he does not know what is the problem.
