sms replying

hi,
when i receive a sms, i notice if i use the reply option my sms will not go through...it says sent but actually not get delivered. i have to use the NEW option all the time. anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

The same thing happens to me!
But in my case, it says NOT SENT!
only the NEW option works....!
I guess its something with the Radio unit!

ezzkht,
u ever solved the problem or know the cause of it?

Nop! I never find a solution for it
I guess it could be a problem with the SMS message center!
I remember the Nokia phones, there has been an option under the SMS menu, named USE SAME MESSAGE CENTER WHEN REPLYING!
When I used to put this option on, replying to SMS won't work with me, but once I turn it off, everything goes alright!
I donno if there's such an option in Pocket PC :?

I have the same problem on Tmobile's system here, but only when replying to cingular customers. TMobile has a ticket open for me but it has been open since February, I was told in May that it would probably be another 6 months before they got it fixed. The problem I have found is that when you reply it uses 11 digits instead of 10.....If you do a message with 10 it gets delivered, if you do it with 11 it says sent on your device but never gets past their server. If you do a delivery confirmation on the replies then you will get them back after a couple of days detailing the problem above, or at least I do.

sms with delay

Hi there, due to the fact that the search option doesn't work with less then 4 characters, i can't search for "sms".
But here's my real problem:
I've flashed different roms into my mda vario, after unlocking it. First the Molski.biz rom, then the last original t-mobile rom, but it was toooo slow, i've imediatly deleted it, en flashed the mr clean rom.
But in all roms i have some delay in recieving sms-messages.
Half the time they appear directly after they were sent by my friends, but sometimes i get them after a few hours. for example: it was sent at 15:00, and i received it at 17:30.
And sometimes i don't get any sms-messages, and after an soft-reset, i get 10 at one time, all delayed.
does anyone know what to do about it? or what causes it?
Regards,
Twan

i sometimes get this too though not often its usually when my phone loses signal and when it comes back into signal it wont recevie txt messages until i soft reset or send another txt out then ill get like 4 all at once lol.
Wizard isnt the best phone for txtin i must say as i send a good 1,000 txts a month and so far its poor.

Sounds like a network issue to me...
The network isn't registering the phone or something similar. For SMS the towers "push" the messages to the phone. Queuing them when they don't detect the phone on the network. If the phone is on the network and not getting the messages until it is reset and forced to re-acquire its signal than it is a network problem.
I've seen this problem on a few networks regardless of phone make and model.

I would agree with the above, its a provider issue not a phone issue.
I have a debate with Orange about 10 years ago about not getting text messeges when I loose and then regain service. I was told that when a text is sent to a phone that is off or lost a signal the message is stored until a set time has passed and then delivery is retried, thus getting all the messages at once. The way 'around' this is the disconnect the phone from the network and re-connect. This forces a scan of the message queues and again you will get all messages in one go.
I would assume going in to Flight Mode and back will do the same thing as a soft boot, but I have not tested this.

Okay,
so i could suggest it's not quitte an rom- or wizzard-issue, but a network-issue.
I also think going to flightmode and back will solve the problem. So we will hear from you if that's a solution?
I'm busy reflashing a new rom into my wizzard.

I would hope that as you seeing the problem that you could test this. I get all my texts on time (luckely) so I can't help you I am afraid, I can just share my thoughts.
Let us know how you get on.

I've tried, but now there's nobody who has sent me an sms
ghehe, i'll wait....
but i do think it will work.
i'll keep you posted

This is happening to me all of a sudden and its not a network issue. I have 4 phones on my account and i texted between all of them and only my phone won't get the messages UNLESS I reboot my phone or use smartskey to close a window.
Here is the strange part, when a text message is sent to my phone, the screen turns on, but doesn't show the message pop.
Is smartskey blocking it?
Also, closing a window by clicking on the X also kicks the message to come through

Double SMS delivery notification

Hi,
I've got big problem... When I send SMS to someone and he has turned off phone, I get a delivery notification. When he turn on phone, I get another. So in this point, delivery notification are useless for me, because they don't tell me that someone gets message or not... It's quite confusing. I searched for similar problem, but no luck...
Of course when someone had turned on phone I get only one, proper delivery notification,
Rom which now I use is TESS 4.2, but rom isn't a problem (same on Energy, Shadowline, billyj80, bysio), operator is Polish Orange.
Anyone have any ideas?

Are you talking about "SMS send notification" or "SMS delivery notification"?
The first one you receive directly after sending the SMS (notification from your device). The second one when the SMS is arrived on the device of your correspondent (notification from the network). Both of them you can enabling and disabling with Advanced Config or another Config-tool...

Hi,

Then you can nothing do I think... Maybe you can call your operator for asking how this is possible...
Do you have it with only one contact or with other numbers to?

I've got this problem with diffrent numbers (and diffrent ops), earlier on Trinity everything was ok, so realy I don't know what is going on... Maybe somthing wrong with radio?

No, no, no, you receive the message when the sms is received by your contact. Your device and your radio can't know that... It's your operator who send you the message. So you can do nothing, except disabling it. Best idea is to call your operator...

Hmm... Just a while ago, I make test. I send sms from topaz to turned off phone and of course I get delivery message :/ When I turned it on, I got second one. Next, I insert SIM to my second phone, e52, send SMS to switched off phone and what? Nothing. I wait 5minutes, no delivery report. I switched on phone, and when sms arrived I get message.
So it is something with Topaz, not operator...

Cannot connect

hi
i get this message (see pic) almost every time I wake my device up. It's kinda starting to annoy me :S. It says something about not able to connect, altough I can instantly start surfing the web without any problems

Someone must know how to fix this?!
This is the single most annoying thing about my HD2. I want the data connection on but I don't need it telling me when it can't connect especially when I am in the middle of trying to compose a text message or navigate somewhere using tomtom!

Thanks but the issue is not the connectivity or lack of it just the annoying notification. I don't want to be notified regardless of whether or not I can connect. Anyone know how to turn off the notification?

[Q] SMS issues on new ATRIX 4G

Hi there,
I exchanged by HTC HD2 phone for a Motorola Atrix 4G a few months ago. And am not really sure any more if I took the right decision Am frustrated with the following problems:
- I tend to receive the same text messages sometimes more than once and interesting the time stamp for both the messages is the same. For example a message which says 'lets do coffee' is sent/received on the phone 1030am and the same message pops up again with the time stamp of 1030am at 0200pm!!
- Sometimes i get a text message which says "Incoming message is not delivered to your mobile as your INBOX is full. Please delete some messages to free some space". However, my phone has ample memory (approximately 8-10gb), and i just have 10-12sms the rest I normally delete after reading.
I visited the service provider and they claim there is no problem from their side. I have checked and rechecked the phone/settings but in vain. Can some kind soul out here please please help me. I am really frustrated and probably planning to sell off the phone as I have missed some important SMS's in the past (which got delivered to me after 3-4days with the original time stamps!)
Cheers!

If your using a different sms app then stock one then you'll need to disable one for notification . That should fix for more then one pop up.. As for running out space maybe someone else jump in to help on that...

Have you tried a factory reset? I assume you not running a customer ROM or anything. I have had that issue before on a different phones and it was all ready service provider issue they had something messed up in my account or a auth issue with thier network

Switch to google voice. That's my solution
But in normal terms, your sd space is not for sms or whatever app to take all tue space. That'd be like saying the browser cache could get that big just cause you have the space
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G using Tapatalk on AT&T, the company that disappoints me so much that I have to use my tapatalk signature to tell everyone

hello all,
Thanks for responding. The phone is fairly new and I have not changed any ROM's or anything like that. Its updated with the current official version...absolutely no hacking on it... I am using the standard SMS app that is inbuilt. Interestingly I did a factory reset today and so lets see how it works.
When I delete the message am hoping it gets deleted for ever..or does it get stored in some 'delete' box that I need to clear ?? Though I have a general feeling that the problem is probably from the service provider and not really the phone...
Any other ideas/tips would be appreciated.
Cheers!

i am pretty sure that just deleting it form the phone should take care of it. i am almost positive that there is no were else it is stored on the phone. not sure about if it is stored on hte network some were but i highly doubt it.

I think it has something to do with cell towers.
not sure what the explanation is.

Hello all,
The service provider sent me a text message last afternoon at 1600hrs and as per their records the message was delivered immediately to my number. However in actuality I received it this morning at 1035hrs!! Its so spooky and strange. I really don't know what to do. Motorola is not ready to help either.Their customer service says there is no problem from their side.
I am quiet sure its not a signal issues as I seem to be receiving calls and most sms. Its just a few messages that I don't receive ..and its random.. not from specific numbers...
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks
