After two hotfixes from HTC, it seems that many people still have trouble with SMS getting stuck.
Should we try and make a list with the operator we're using and so on, to see if there's a red line here somewhere?
If you'r operator using another ones network, please make a note of that, so we'll see if that might be a part of the problem as well
I'll start
ROM: Norway 1.48.409.1 (stock)
Country: Norway
Operator: Ventelo (MVNO operator using Telenor's network)
3G Switched on, and using Exchange with push
ROM: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE
Country:United Kingdon
Operator:Vodafone
ROM: 1.43 (Stock T-Mobile ROM)
Country: United Kingdom
Operator: T-Mobile
ROM: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE
RADIO: 2.06.51.07
Country: United Kingdon
Operator: Vodafone
Signal: 3G On, Exhange with push.
I think radio should be in this list as well.
Issue is intermitant since hotfix, never had it before hotfix.
Sim is brand spanking new.
ROM: Norway 1.48.409.1(71294) (stock)
RADIO: 2.05.51.05_2
Country: Norway
Operator: Chess (Owned by TeliaSonera, using Netcom's network)
Installed all updates and hotfixes.. Only recently(just before last SMS hotfix) began to have messages in outbox. Not experienced it since last hotfix.
By the way, I also discovered that Mylocation would not update weather when i were unable to send texts.. Restart solved both problems.
Maybe a possible solution?!
Hey guys,
Not to mess up your list, but my sms issue has been solved! I had my HD2 running with a very very old SIM card inserted (Telfort, NL). I went to the shop in town, renewed physically my SIM card (so actually got a new one that took over my old account) and you know what happened?! Since 1,5 weeks, I do NOT have ANY problems anymore with sending SMS!
It could also be a coincidence, but maybe it has something to do with the internal infrastructure in the SIM cards. I hope this issue does not happen to me anymore. If it does, I will report it right away.
Good luck!!! Roy.
My simcard is not old, maybe 3 or 4 months. should honestly not be an issue for me, have friends with older simcards without the issue. But i guess it could perhaps be an issue with really old simcards..
Romversion:
1.48.404.2(71294) NLD
radioversion:
2.05.51.05_2
Operator: T-Mobile (netherlands)
I have never had any issues.
My sim is approximately 1.5 years old.
Only applied the camera fix.

I am lucky enough to live in Dubai, so I went out and purchsed the beast today..but I have found a bug in the SMS part, if you address it to a person with a GSM Intenationl formated number i.e. +971 50 xxxxxxxx
then it automatical removes the "+" which then causes the send to fail, I can however make a voice call to that same person "Phone" does not remove the "+", is this new I dont have this on my old Qtek or my i-mate Smartphone ? , I have tried to change the "Dialing Rules" but that dont seem to fix it either...
and Suggestions...
Derek
BTW if i manually insert the "+" it does send correctly...
Just found out that if I dont go via "Contacts" but open the new SMS and just start to type the persons name , then a pop up appears with all matches , selecting the enrty here "does" select the right format i.e.
Via Contacts on "97150xxxxxx" is inserted into the "TO" field instead of "+97150xxxxxx" , typing via the "V-Keyboard" and selecting inserts "Derek M<+97150xxxxxx>"...
what if you replace
+ with 00
you can do that as far as i know at least on std cellphones
that only works if the provider and the local country supports the "00" the gsm standard is "+" for intrnational access... Last summer I could easly make calls from Canada, USA, Germay and South Africa without changing the numbers in my phone...so why should M$ change this all of a sudden ?
BTW the whole software seems buggy !, I used the PC2003 on my Qteck thanks to the ROM kitchen, but now on the HTC implimentation of the PC2003 things are far from well I have hade the device 10 hours now and have lost 8 calls in flight, had to reset the thing 6 times due to hangs (mostly in an app when you press the Green Phone Button)
Don't worry about that.
Send your message anyway and it will reach.
I tried it locally.
I'll try it internationally and let you know.
I was in the UK last week , and really poor performance on O2 , VF was better but I had so many "Cant Take The Call!"...
:!: I can confirm the bug. it amazes me, that this slipped past HTC quality control, since it is so obvious.
BTW: Replacing the "+" with "00" gets you into trouble with MS Outlook, which then cant parse the numbert any more.
Seems to be fixed allready.
ROM version 1.03.00 USA
ROM date 09/24/03
Radio version 1.05.12
I found that it can't cope with a leading zero in the STD code (e.g. +44(020)8.... ) but after correcting for that it worked just fine strait out of the box.

Not on my handset here with the same software as you stated. Mine does exactly the same thing, removes the prevailing + from the contacts number. Hopefully will be fixed in the next ROM upgrade.
Hi guys!
The "new" ROM version 1.60, either from T-mobile or Dangaard for Qtek 2020, does NOT show the problem with the leading +.
I had originally 1.03 USA, but can not confirm if the problem was there too.
Good luck.
T-mobile upgrade was the smoothest one I've made to date. Currently using the county-id-hacked one from Dangaard, cause I've a Qtek.

SMS Bug in new Qtek 2020 phone - unable to send to Vodafone
Hi all,
I just received my new Qtek 2020 PDA phone from Expansys in the UK, down here in New Zealand. At first things looked great (eg. working) but when I went to send an SMS message, it failed , no matter what format I used. Then I came across this forum where the same problem also existed. My phone has the following versions ...
ROM version 1.03.00 USA
ROM date 09/24/03
Radio version 1.05.12
Protocol Version: 1.337.12
ExtROM Version: 1.03.21
Does anyone know where an upgrade can be obtained for an unlocked Qtek 2020? I am still waiting on a response from Expansys.
Snowman.
well one have to make sure that one is using the localizer because it have alot to say about how such things are handled
I own an O2 XDA II.
I am using the UK ROM version 1.60.00WWE, rom date: 12/03/03, radio version: 1.10.00, protocol version: 1337.18 and ExtROM version: 1.60.50. I am now in the US and I am suscribing to T-Mobile service. I am able to send sms locally as well as internationally, but I am unable to recieve sms whether or not it is local or international. I called T-Mobile customer service and after 30 minutes, they couldn't help me.
When I insert the sim card into a normal mobile, it is able to recieve sms. I have a feeling that the radio version of my ROM does not support the sms needs here. If any of you would be so kind as to help me, your thoughts and opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Gigabelova, Malaysia.
SMS texts
Hi,
I ws in Kansas and Chicago 4 weeks ago for about 1 week. I had no problem sending or recieving SMS on my XDAII. I had the same Rom/ Radio loaded as you.
Although I used my UK O2 sim card it seemed to use the T Mobile network for a large percentage of the time. Before I went I checked that all my phone numbers were in internationl format for message centres e.t.c. is it something like that?
Hi,
GPRS gets stuck almost every time I try to surf internet or sync email. It forces me to switch on/off flight mode and I'm tired of this. I have:
ROM: 1.3.9.4.RUS
Date: 09/25/05
Radio: 01.01.10
Protocol: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM: 1.1.7.105
Does anyone encounter such problem? Is there any solution?
By the way what GSM class is radio part in Qtek 9100?
edit1: answer to myself. I've found it's class B. Cannot call and get GPRS at the same time .
same for me
same for me on my 9100 its so irritating. between this and the speaker phone not working i don't know about this phone
Vishny
Had the same issue with MTS GPRS.
I have changed the operator from MTS to Megafon and it works fine now. Moreover, Megafon is the only one to launch EDGE yet.
i don't have the issue of stuck GPRS.
Is it EDGE related?

Actually not. MTS launched EDGE too, I've found information on its web site. Moreover, GPRS Monitor shows me connection speed up to 70 kbit/s. I guess it's possible with EDGE only.
Unfortunately I cannot migrate to another operator, it would force me to change phone number and it's not acceptable for me.
I guess problem exists because of MTS's EDGE but I don't know how to disable EDGE in my device and downgrade to GPRS.
Moonsower,
which version is radio in yours? 01.01.10 too?
I guess the problem could be fixed by flashing newer version, I've found people reported about 01.04.10 and even 01.08.10 versions in this forum:

I was in HKG few weeks ago and bought 3 mobile phones (HTC Cruise, Sony Erickson S500i and Samsung E528) in a local electronic store, so they should be unlock and unbranded.. All three works perfectly in HKG with local prepaid and contract SIM of different company.
Now lets concentrate on the HTC Cruise after all this is the Polaris forum.
I then went to Malaysia and Thailand, cruise worked with a local SIM without any problem. Now I am back in Germany and cruise works fine with my 10 years old Vodafone prepaid card, but doesn’t work with my one month old Vodafone prepaid card, it display a message saying something like “sim card is missing ….” (sure the sim is in). I called Vodafone but they have no idea and keep sending me a new replacement sim card, I now have 2 replacements but both doesn’t work (works with my old phone though, so SIM has no problem).
I then brought the phone to office and tested with my colleague sim cards, one was contract Vodafone and the other was contract T-COM, again, both doesn’t work.
Are there anything call region lock or something like that? Why it works in Asia but not in Germany? Why the 10 years old Vodafone SIM card is okay but all new SIM not? Actually except the Samsung, SE S500i has exactly the same problem.
I really don’t know what to do now, can someone in here please help me out?
Thanks!

Hello warrior2010,

Did you tried already to upgrade the newest Radio Version?
Radio Version: 1.58.25.14
(just keep atention to upgrade your radio flash first oli's hard spl!)

Hello Roman,
Thanks for taking time to read through my problem and ur advise.
The ROM on my cruise are still the original, this is my very first pda phone and therefore am a bit nervous to perform the upgrade, but do u think flashing the rom or radio version would help? I bought this phone because of the gps but sadly, this phone comes with MapKings and it only have Asian’s map, no German map , so if it doesn’t work with the new sim card then it is really a piece of expansive junk for me.
Thanks once again for ur help.

This my 2c worth:
1) I see that all the SIM cards you have tried in Germany are "contract" or pre-paid. Were the "local" SIM's you used in Asia also contract or pre-paid, or open ? My thought is that it is the telco carriers that are applying a lock, not the PDA. Perhaps try an "open" SIM ... if this is too expensive in Germany, then I suppose you need to approach the telcos with some persistence. This problem of telcos deciding which device and software you may use is becoming a world-wide big nuisance. It's like buying a car and then having the oil companies tell you what vehicle brand and accessories you may have !
2) MapKing is an Asian program and of course only maps Asian areas. Perhaps you need to decide on a European sat-nav program
Thanks ianl8888,
What is “open SIM”? The “contract sim” that I used in Asia and tried in Germany are from my friends who have a contract with a mobile phone operator; the prepaid card that I used in Asia was those I bought at local 7-11 stores, they all works fine.
What is telco? Telephone company? I call my prepaid card company (Vodafone) several times, all operators that I spoken to said that they have never heard this before, they said if sim lock then I would have another error message, every time I called they ended up sending me a replacement which is still not working.
Yeah, I know that Mapking is an Asian company but didn’t realize that they don’t have European map. By the way, I have a tomtom on my PDA, do u think that version works on Cruise as well?
Thanks once again!
Hello again,
Here in Europe I tried a lot of Navigation SW,
In my point of view I prefere the IGo 2006/ 8 when it is comming out
(Very easy to use and quiet good new maps)
The second I have is the new Navigon 6
(it uses a lot of instant memory, but with the cruise your are save on this behavor)
I think you should go for an upgrade. The rom you have is not the newest one and has a few old drivers.
1st upgrade Oli's Hard SPL (Very important and you must check after thu upgrade at the Colored splash screen to have it on the right version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964
2nd then Upgrade OS to (for example bepe it is very stable)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369310
3rd upgrade Radio Rom to the latest version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1967089
Okay, I think I will give it a try this weekend, but once again, do u think that the os is the source of my problem? My phone is actually very slow and for a person like me, who only used normal mobile phone in the past, the speed of making a normal phone call on this device is difficult to get use to, and the device is somehow very unstable, I have to perform a soft reset almost every second day, after a while the device doesn’t response, e.g. few hours ago, after making a phone call, I pressed the on/off button briefly to put it to sleep, but then it never wake up again . I want to do hard reset but not before I got all data backup.
Thanks once again to all your help and good night!
Hello,
You are right ... original roms are not very stable ...
I run bepe's rom and its very stable ... I reset my device only for upgrades for the moment.... Bepe's rom is stable like a rock and with the taskmanager you can easy manage it.
For databackup take the pimbackup.... it's a very good tool and free!

Have a good evening

Your ROM seems to have a different version from those "Shipped ROMS" posted here so make sure to back it up first before doing any "Flashing".
thanks! I do realize that I have a different version ROM (lower version, I think) than most people in here have and I wonder is it because of Asian version?
Backup the original ROM? That would be great, but how?
I called the sales woman in HKG and she mentioned that some sim card might have different voltage and that might caused the problem that I have. Then I searched this forum and did find some posts mentioning this, but I still haven’t found a solution yet. Any idea?
I have recently purchased a second hand HTC p3450 handset that was locked to the orange network. I paid orange to unlock the phone.
I have three Pay as you go sim cards
Orange - Works with HTC
Asda (vodaphone) does not work with HTC
Virgin (T mobile) - work with HTC.
I have tried two other ASDA pay as you go sims, and these do not work in the phone. I have a friend that has a contract with Vodaphone and his sim does not work in the phone either.
I get the following message on trying to dial with Vodaphone
Network Error
Cannot read setting from the network, try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again.
I have contacted ASDA and they have no idea's as to the issue. I went into the carphone warehouse and they advised that I contacted this forum as they had no explaination.
The phone settings are as follows.
Operator version : 23.116.1.611
ROM Version: 1.16.61.1 WWE
ROM Date: 06/20/07
Radio Version: 02.95.90
Protocol version : 4.1.13.45
CPU: OMAP850
Model No: ELFO100
Platform: PocketPC
I wish to use the ASDA vodaphone PAYASGO, as this is my main contact number. The sim card works fine in my Nokia 6100. I'm at a lost as want to try any suggestions would be great.
Many thanks in advance
I face the similar problem with my HTC touch P3452.
Tried with changing Radio versions (all radios available on this forum) and still have no luck.
