SMS date format.. - HD2 General

i looking at my date format on my inbox and its set 01/06/10 but my region is set to uk etc any ideas? or am i missing something

Yes, I get that too. Not sure why tho as everything else appears in the correct format.
You kinda get used to it. Perhaps a little americanisation aint a bad thing!

awww so no solution

any fix to this problem yet?

Go to settings and change the regional settings to UK

They are already set to U.K. ..... its only within the SMS app that they display as mm/dd/yyyy everywhere else they are set as dd/mm/yyyy

I've never had this issue AFAIK, but then I delete SMSs once read...I've got one in my inbox at the mo so I'll leave it until tomorrow and see what happens

Ok thanks!

I can also add that changing date format from dd mm yy to dd m yy in regional settings doesn't help either.

Any solution to this yet?

Still nothing,
It's annoying ...
Cola ( not to violate any law ) for the good tip!

I have Australian locale settings set, which should display date dd/mm/yyyy
It displays that way some places, but it displays US format in:
SMS
conversation view
Picture/video properties
Calendar alarm notification pop-ups
... possibly more. I would really love a solution to this. I wrote to HTC but they brushed it off. In fact, they tried to tell me it depended on the setting on the device a photo was taken on or that synced the calendar entries. Pfft! All my photos were taken on the phone.

Rogers Canada Cab for GPRS & MMS

I created this Cab originally for myself and I have had some requests for it so here it is. If there are any issues please direct them here and I will look into them.
If people are interested I will soon include a cab with the MMS at default 600k, let me know.
Before Installing cab make sure that you delete your old settings first!
Enjoy!
New Cab for VPN users, settings from mangopudding. I don't use these settings, just made the changes from the settings provided.
Grabbed it, thanks!

The new vision stuff isn't on here, the guy that was doing the testing for that for me went on vacation for a month so I haven't been able to finish that off.
I will keep looking into though.
If you have the base settings or anybody else pm me with them, I will get it done sooner that way.
hi lurch how yu doing. i installed the cab and had already manually entered the settings. my problem is recieving ppicture messaging. i can send but not able to recieve any at all. i'm using the softbank x01ht. do u know a solution that could fix this

Have you manually gone in to look at the settings?
If you have let me know what the differences are from what you entered manually, It is possible that the MMS settings didn't completly override the old settings.
ok do forgive for the little naivety that will be displayed...i check in connections and everything is supposedly set up correctly according to the stettings you had written before you made the cab...i also setup the server when i'm gettin ready to send a mms message...just so you know i'm using the new black shadow rom with radio 1.43 is there somewhere else i'm suppose to make changes...when i go to manage existing connections, do i have to setup anything under proxy settings

No leave the proxy settings alone.
Go to messages, SMS/MMS (forgot you had Shadow running), options, click on MMS, and then the servers tab at the bottom, you should only see one thing there highlighted "Rogers MMS"
If you don't let me know. Or if there is 2 different ones there tell me what they are.

Here's a long shot but have you went to send and receive.
Doesn't make any sense?
I had to try myself on the 17745 build, I sent a message to myself and I received no problem.
Is the problem on the other sending end, send one to yourself, make sure that you put in the number like this 9995554444, no prefix and you have to have the area code in there which in my example is "999".
Sorry that I am writing all this out but there are people out there that don't know this and I am making sure that I am being very clear.
Hard reset works to.
I guess you don't want to waste time.
I am at work, but the PC is on, I usually get the messages fast so I will get you through this.
Once you are up and running install the cab file, no need to hard reset, then send yourself a MMS, look at my previous post. tell me if you get it, you will probably get a screen saying that a download is there, click download anyway.

if i'm not mistaken i was able to send it on the wm5 but think the problem occurred when flashed to wm6...i've only been using black roms so far, there was one time when send/recieve was highlighted but i use to get error synchronizing back then asi notice some people did also but now its just not highlighted at all...other than that no problems

Right now all that I can suggest is to try and manually install the MMS, go to the settings and delete the MMS Rogers that is there and make a new one, you shouldn't have to change the connection settings, and see if send and receive will highlight.

SMS Delivery Notification

Ok, maybe this aint completely a pure Xperia Issue, more a WM6.1 Issue. But maybe the solution might be? .. if there is any
I'm a guy that like to get Delivery Notification on my text messages,
not to be confused with Sent noticed, which I find kinda useless, you receive a error msg if the SMS isnt sent anyhow.
But back to the Issue, SMS Delivery Notification.
As it is, you send your SMS and then get a NEW SMS telling you that your SMS was delivered.
(And it dont even bother matching the number to your addressbook, wtf?)
How I want it to work, and had several cellphones that did, is to just flag your sent SMS as delivered.
Does someone share my frustration? or am I just a whining sob?
And does anyone have a solution to this highly annoying(according to me) problem?
Some kinda SMS client for Windows Mobile, or for the Xperia?
The Sent Notification isn't an issue
I don't like it, but I know how to turn it off.
--------
What I would like... is to have the Delivery Notification /Report,
not as a separate "sms" that dont match against your address book.
But as a "green flag" or something that indicate that your SMS has been delieverd.
Had this feature on my earlier devices, then the SMS-icon was a envelope(as it is now)
and to see that it was sent you saw a "stamp-icon" and when it was delivered it was a
green check flag i the corner of the envelope. Hope you understand me now
I feel your pain.... then I installed advance config and disable the delivery notification... since then, that I am a happy man

I have looked at this prog too, not used it thou ... It might be a good idea, but still dont understand why they didnt just flag you excisting SMS instead of creating a separate "reporting SMS", especially useless when it dont match the number with you addressbook, or it just me that have stopped memorize ppl:s numbers?

Okey I don't know if this is your answer but I've got a swe xperia as well.
I can write my way in swe and translate to eng but
in messages view, press meny -- verktyg -- alternativ -- SMS/MMS (i listan) -- Begär leveransmeddelanden
(menu -- tools -- alternatives -- SMS/MMS (from the list) -- Demand report on delivery)
This is deliveryreport and it works for me...
I shut off "Message Sent" xith Xperia Tweak from cliffords.

green check flag i the corner of the envelope. Hope you understand me now
What network are you on? I know some carriers don't support the delivery notification feature, but on O2 in the UK if you add *0# to the beginning of your message it will send you an SMS back when it's been delivered.. works for me (and *0# are all conveniently placed next to each other on the X1 keyboard, how nice!)
Hehe... I use TELE2 ... and I DO get a Delivery notification /report.
I just dont want it as a separate SMS! or as it say a msg from "System Administator" telling me my SMS has been delivered.
if you read the post I have posted above, I try to explain this a few times.
I do appreciate all you guys trying to help thou!
Cheers!
Same here - Again, the problem is NOT that the delivery notification itself annoys us, we know how to turn it off or on. The annoying part is just the way of presenting the notification. All other phones I had so far (as a matter of fact only Nokias) had a special way of treating the incoming delivery notification, they did not display the notification like a normal text message, but rather marked the corresponding sent text message as "delivered". If I turn on the delivery reports on the X1, I get a new text message for every one I sent. That is stupid
What we are looking for is a way of making Windows Mobile 6.1 read the incoming delivery reports and mark the corresponding sent text messages. Or at least they should not cause the X1 to notify us as the same way a normal text message does (i.e. same sound, same message dialog, etc...). I want to know that a message has been delivered without first having to believe "I got a text message" and then seeing that it's only a delivery report...
Yep, I'm looking for a solution to this issue too. Having recently bought an HTC Touch HD, this is one thing that I think my old Sony Ericsson K610i handled much better.
Would be great to find some tweak that makes the phone treat delivery reports as a status change of the sent text message (sms), rather than as a separate message altogether.
So what you're trying to say is:
Now: - You get a seperate sms saying the message has been delivered.
What you want: - The message in the "sent" folder changes icon when delivered.
Is there a solution for this that anyone knows of?
Thanks,

Another thing with the delivery report. I once got one when my ringtones were turned off, but the sound came anyway. So my theory is that its recognized as a system message, not a SMS. System voulme was still activated. Anyone noticed that too?

Nope, sorry, I'm not much of a win-mobile-developer... However, I did find a small app that actually fulfills my wishes somewhat. It's not perfect, but it's better than the default delivery reports...
Have a look at this site and have a go at SMS Delivery Recipt Fix. The author is active here on the forum, so you can find lots of info on this app in several threads (after all, that's how I found it). I just tried it on my phone (HTC Touch HD running Win Mobile 6.1) and it works brilliantly. The status message is still delivered as a separate sms, but now it pops up in a bubble, and the option to delete it is right there with it. In my opinion, that's a lot better than having to go into the inbox, find the report, and delete it from there. I think I'll stick with this solution.
That bubble with the "delete" option is how it works for me..but this just came with win 6.1, nothing special installed for that feature. Still it would be good to see wich contact is reported about.
But as i read that "fix" is meant to also show the contacts name, i will try that.

Yes, I do feel a bit stupid here, but I realised later that the bubble popup notification is a built-in function of WinMo 6.1... I just hadn't properly understood how to enable it, that only became clear to me once I had installed the sms fix. But, the fix still does a nice thing, i.e. link the displayed number to a name, which looks a lot better.
Yes but from the screenshot is moves the delete link from onscreen to menu / delete..that would be annoying again. Is that right?

Not at all. Look at the screenshots again. The one with a menu is the "new message" notification... There you have more options like "call sender", "delete message", and so on. The first screenshot shows how the delivery report is displayed, and this comes with two on-screen options: dismiss and delete. No menus to navigate here.

SMS comes with a country code

Hi all,
I've got this problem on my Dev Phone 1 - the "From" number of any SMS I receive has a form of "+<countrycode><operatorcode><number>", instead of just "<operatorcode><number>" or "<number>". It doesn't get looked up in an address book because of this.
I've never had this problem with any other phone, and it's really annoying - most of the time I have no idea who sent me a message.
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure about the dev phone in particular, but T-Mobile has always recommended storing contacts in that format. Google may have taken the hint from them when they spec'd the OS. In that sense, it might not be a bug, but a feature.

Thanks for replying.
Well, I tried storing the number with +<countrycode>. The result is that SMS senders are looked up correctly, but the incoming call caller doesn't get looked up now. So, it's "either SMS sender name, or Caller name" situation.
I tried it with sim cards from two operators (with different callers / senders), same results.
isn't it one of the main differences between US and UK firmware?

Sorry about that. It's Georgia (country, not the state), the operators are Geocell and Magti. I'm using stock adp1 firmware.
Maybe it has to do with operators using different formats for calls and SMSes.
The calling numbers are in 8<operatorcode><number> format, but SMSes come from +995<operatorcode><number> (I forgot about the leading 8 in the original post, sorry).
Note that my previous phone (Nokia N73), and every other phone I've used, and all of my friends' phones have absolutely no problems with that.

The only place I could find a setting for a country was in google account settings (timezone and an optional country field). Didn't make any difference (I did a sync and reboot).
I found this link, but I'm not sure if it's related - maybe just an old Windows Mobile issue.

very annoying
hi,
am having the same problem in here ...
sms'es include country code in the FROM field, whilst calls do not !
as a result if I want to have a contact to be rocognised to calls and sms, i need to add two entries - 1st with his number only, 2nd -> with the country code - ....
is there a way ( reg hack ) to make the phone remove the country code when receiving an sms, or the other way round ...
i have had no problems with nokia and SE phones before ... sms would still contain country codes, but for these phones , these two numbers would still be recognized and treated conveniently...

All my contacts are stored as +<country><number> and I have not had a problem with incoming calls not being identified. I am in the US using T-Mo. Phone also properly identified calls when I was using a different sim overseas. Looks like ymmv?
It was fixable in WM by going editing the registry key: HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIdMatch and changing the value to something like 7 or 6 instead of 8. Later on, HTC made it automatic by either grabbing the value from the provider or having a DB of presets for each country.
However, on Android, the problem still persists. More than 1 year later and it's still there, even on Android 2.2.

yeah i have the same problem and i'm with Rogers. maybe it's a problem with the carrier..

Conversation mode bug in messaging?

I just noticed that, when viewing all messages in conversation mode, the date format is mm/dd/yy despite my regional settings having the date format in dd/mm/yy. If I view messages 1-by-1 in the order they were received (ie. from the main HTC messaging tab), the date format is shown correctly according to my regional settings.
Anyone else noticed this?
never bothered to look before, but mine does the same.

I guess it's an oversight by HTC. The regional settings date format is a windows setting, which doesn't neccessarily affect programs that run on the phone. It's one of those things that a developer can just miss. They'll probably release 5 hotfixes or a ROM to fix just this 1 issue (knowing HTC).
