Phone not ready try again in 15 seconds

Hi guys
I get the above error message every time I try to send an SMS message. I can make and receive calls without any issuses. I get the error message regardless of how strong the signal is.
I have tried reinstalling the O2 settings.
Any ideas or suggestions, please?
Thanks

Is it possible to see your sim contacts when usin sim manager?

I also had the same problem with imate official 1.72 ROM upgrade. This message comes if I go to setting -> personal tab -> phone and also if I click on sim manager under programs. I can get all the SMS but when sending SMS I got this problem.
Initailly thought it might have been due to post 1.72 upgrade restore from older sprite backup. But after hard resetting also it crops up.
Now went back to original 1.66.00wwe rom. That solved it. But I really want to try 1.72 any suggestions?

Hi
No I get the same message. Downgraded back to O2 1.60WWE and problem is solved, upgraded again to TMobile 1.72WWE and I get the 15second message.

i was using ROM 1.52, then upgraded to 1.72. and I had this problem too, and if you even try to open the phone options, it would take a very long time to show u the option window. I donnu , but it seems there is a problem in the radio version in 1.72. I just downgrade back to 1.52 and it is ok.

Possible solution
A colleague of mine was experiencing this problem after he upgraded whereas I was fine with my custimized extended ROM. After a bit of trial and error loadig each cab from the extended ROM individually, soft resetting and testing after each one, he narrowed down the cause to the OEM_WWE_04042201.sa.CAB. I hadn't used this in my customized ROM.

NOT the 1.72 ROM is the reason of this failure!
Sometimes the Sprite Backup cannot restore all of the mailbox databases.
When you backing up or restoring your backup file, don't include the mailboxes!!
If you need to restore your mailbox, download the "CleanMail.exe" from the Sprite Software's home, and run it after the restore!
http://www.spritesoftware.com/downloads/CleanMail.zip

I think sprite has solved the mailbox problem in version 3.0. I wanted to test it out again So just reinstalled 1.72 and after 3rd or 4th hard reset the problem is back again prooving that the problem is not with sprite as i had not used the backup.
Any suggestions?
Has it got to do anything with particular sim or Provider?

I observe this problem, only in the written situation.
(After restore, remain a not deletable message in my drafts or outbox,
and the phone cannot send or recieve SMS.)
I'm using the 1.72 i-mate ROM, and I haven't some other problems.
If you use the 1.72 t-mobile beta, upgrade it the i-mate's 1.72!
I haven't more idea...

Can't send SMS ? 'Phone is not ready..'

hi!
i'v just upgraded to Qtek 1.72. and now i can't enter options at settings/phone & can't send sms messages. everything, like calls and sms reciving is ok! only thing that mda writes, is 'The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again' ;((
any suggestions? thanks!

seem to recall that some people getting this problem if they restore with some version of spirit backup

thanks for reply.. but this is clean install. maybe flash another radiostack, can help?

this seems to be a SIM card problem ... try another one

If you have performed a restore from a backup that was created before you upgraded then this problem occurs (Happened to me)
Try a hard reset - should work.
If not reflash your XDA with the new firmware.

There is no reason I can see to risk a radio stack upgrade/downgrade.

kavalir, did you find an answer?? I have the same problem and already tried other sim and hard reset.
As you say it is only with sending an sms or trying to acces the phone option.

The same happened to me. Looking for help. Will try to rollback to last official O2 XDA II ROM. Changing SIM cards and hard-reset does not help.

Well, the answer was really simple - don't mix old customized extended Roms with i-mate 1.72 ROM. After installing clean i-mate ROM with its own extended ROM I could not send only first sms, then all went all right.

Will the WING stay Unlocked after Hard Resetting?

Please help,
I have an unlocked T-Mobile WING and the tap screen suddenly does not respond. After going thru the forums one option that I have is to hard reset.
Does the phone still stay unlocked after the hard reset? I went thru a lot to get it unlocked!
I also need to know what do I need to backup before the hard reset? Contacts, calender, tasks, theme, other files? Is the only way to do a backup on WING is thru Activesync on a PC?
I used to own a Blue Angel where I could back up everything on the storage card and thus restore using xBackup. Is there no similar feature with the WING?

first of all ... define "unlocked"
SIM unlock or CID unlock?
If the touch screen doesn't work, Is he OS operable? do the hardware keys work? Are you able to navigate thru the phone using the wheel and hardware keys?
Connect it to a PC and setup activesync to backup any files you need... you can explore the phone with your PC and save any files you need ... as well as backing up your contacts with activesync.
You can try doing a hard reset or running the Stock RUU
which will restore the factory ROM ... or you can try installing any other 3rd party Rom depending on what you have done to your phone regarding what you call "unlocking."

Thanks dupred, the phone is 'SIM unlocked' I use it in Africa on my local network..
Everything else works fine, all the hard keys and alternative navigation works apart from the tap screen which suddenly just stopped without any impact on the phone!

Sorry, just noticed that its duprade!

Try a hard reset ... hopefully that will fix it.
Regarding whether or not the phone will remain unlocked... I don't know, I've never SIM unlocked my phone, so I couldn't tell you... maybe someone else has the answer to this question.

sim unlock should ALWAYS stay in place no matter what phone you have. thats the nature of a sim unlock.

Back up data from a bricked smt5600

Is there a way to back up my phone data(sms, contacts, etc) from a bricked SMT5600? The phone stays on the blue Windows Mobile screen startup. I tried to do a hard reset(got to the point where it said press 0 to reset) but was not successful. The rom is the original AT&T(have never been re-flashed). Thank you.

Nobody knows? I guess I'm out of luck, I'll probably try to re-flash the rom.

Any hard reset or ROM flashing would wipe out your data anyway, wouldn't they ?

yes it would. I'm not sure if the hard reset I did was actually working since the phone is still stuck at the windows mobile screen when I turn it on.
I've also just tried to reload the rom using the miniSD method but got the "update not allowed". This phone was already app unlocked and provider unlocked. I read the instruction on the super cid stuffs, but I can't even have an active sync connection with the phone. Time for a new phone?

I thought you were trying to recover your data...
What I was saying is that flashing a new rom to get the phone to work would ALSO wipe out the data and prevent you from recovering it...
Good luck !

SMS/MMS account dissapeard

Hi guys
I have a HTC Touch Cruise and my SMS/MMS account dissapeared. I can't send nor receive any message. I've been searching since 2 days now and couldn't find how to make the account back on.
Please help.

Have you try hard reset....??
