annoying "129 (1)" text message keeps recurring... - HD2 General

i keep getting this blank text message which has what looks like either my sim or storage card icon next to it. the contact or sender is "129(1)".i dont know if i am missing texts or if this is some weird glitch.
anyone know what this is?
ive attached a screenshot of my messages so you can see.
thanks,
jason

this happens to me all also, don't know what it is though.

Its a message stuck on your sim card. Just delete it and it should go away. If it was like mine it would go away, what I did was put the sim in a regular phone and delete it. Then put it back in your HD2 and it should be gone. If that doesn't work get a new sim card from T-mobile they should replace it for free for you.

so is there a way to go into thesim and delete this on my hd2 or must i use another phone?
thanks again

Try moving it from the sim to your phone and then deleting it. I remember getting this when I first got my HD2 and that was what I did.
Future 129's just go straight to the phone so no problem getting rid of them.

I seem to recall that one of the potential causes of this would be having visual voicemail enabled on the account without the vvm app running on the phone.

Sounds like its a notification message for VVM then. VMM likely normally intercepts it before you get a chance to see it would be my guess

I asked T-Mobile about this...
T-Mobile told me that this was a page from someone leaving you a voicemail message. If you call to check your voicemail options on T-Mobile, there is an option to not allow yourself to be paged. The only weird thing I noticed with this is that whenever I get one of those messages, it never contains any informaton. I started using the visual voice mail and I still get the 129 messages. After some thought I decided to not turn it off, any extra reminders that I have a voice mail are welcome!

Bingo. I later remembered that was the resolution when I got those on my TP2 months ago. The text is supposed to be the trigger for the vvm app to sync with the server...but I do remember them stopping as soon as I removed the vvm option from my account (I had tested the app and was unimpressed).

New Voicemail - but i have no new voicemail

Hey guys,
This is a problem that coincedently happend on my Trinity.
I have the Voicemail symbol appearing on my phone, and my mailla home screen says that I have a 1 New Voicemail message. But when i dial 123 (im on orange), i'm told I have no message, no saved messages, nothing.
If I power off the phong and then turn it back on, the first thing i hear is my sound aleart to notify me I have a new voicemail message.
Whats wrong with this. How can I reset this or stop this from happening.
Thanks,
WizzKidd
I have similar issue, except everytime I have a new voice mail message, the notification tells me that I have 8, but I actually have 1 voice mail only. This happen every time, even I already delete all my new & save voice mail.
Have you tried looking at your email inbox. open all account '+' and check for VOICEMAIL messages.
I have a VOICEMAIL folder listed under my email account.

Voicemails inside my inbox?
I also have a new voicemail notification every time I soft reset, I can only get rid of it by doing a registry edit, and it still comes back after a soft reset, this is on a stock ROM, unbranded straight from HTC, even after a hard. I am using a Fido SIM card (Canada).
Any help would be appreciated.
Might be a problem with Orange as this only started today, yesterday was fine for me.

Didn't work for me, I read somewhere that it may have to do with having voicemails on my account the first time I inserted the SIM card?
My partner has this on her Nokia that the phone shows a new voice mail even though there is nothing on the answer phone. We haven't looked into it yet but i bet its a problem at Orange that your sim is telling your phone there's a new voice mail available. I suggest you all ring orange and take it up with them, post back and let us know what you find out.
right people. easiest way to resovle this problem is to put your simcard in a different phone. turn the phone on. once the simcard is in the other phone leave a voicemail message. once your phone says new voicemail, listen to it and delete it. then pop ur simcard back in the HTC TOUCH HD. Problem Sorted....

HELP - new HD2 voicemail status icon stuck

Hi,
Hopefully one of you guys may be able to help.
I've just upgraded to a HD2 from my old Diamond. It seems ever since I've had this handset (3days now) there's a status icon always showing that I have a voicemail but when I check I have none and neither do I have any messages in the 'voicemail inbox'.
Tmobile have re-created the voicemail box which cured it for a few hours only for it to come back!!!
Tmobile are suggesting that my SIM card is too old and needs replacing. Before I go and do that has anybody here had a similar problem and maybe found a solution?
Cheers.
hiya,
did you get this sorted? im having the same issue
Voicemail stuck
It seems (I think) that if I leave myself a message and then go into voicemail, clear it but stay on the line until the voicemail icon disappears then its cleared but only till the next time I reset the phone and then its back! Best I've got so far...and haven't got the SIM replaced yet but I think that seems doubtful anyway!!
It seems it may be a 'feature' of the ROM I have (1.43) but I'm a little loathed to update the ROM as its tied to Tmobile. What ROM are you?
Cheers,
John
I have exactly the same issue with an Unlocked Toshiba TG01 (originally on Orange) running Windows Mobile 6.5, on T-Mobile UK.
It's rather annoying
Give your service provider ( t-mobile, orange, o2 ect) a call and there can reset your voice mail box.
There will leave you a message and then you hear it and delete it and restart the device and the icon disappears
Hope that works
I have this problem now - I had a voicemail from my old provider and didn't pick it up.
Now got a new provider and the voicemail icon is stuck. I can't get a reset though as my current provider doesn't even offer voicemail!!
Any ideas?
Same Issue
I've got an AT&T HTC Pure and I use YouMail.com.
I have no saved messages, no current messages. I've tried adding a message and deleting it and stil the phone says I have 1 new voicemail.
I have even hard-reset the device and no change. Oh, yeah, I also tried changing the voicemail info. back top AT&T. Still says 1.
Very frustrating.
I have a different problem.
Whenever I get a voicemail I cannot access it by calling my number.
Help please.
Hello
Who is you network service provider
THanks
Try this:
For the longest time my HTC Touch Pro has told me I've got a voicemail, but it's wrong. I don't. It somehow got out of sync. The phone has a way to reset the voicemail indicator, but it's buried pretty well. How to reset the voicemail indicator of your Windows Mobile 6.1 device:
1. Hit the "Phone" button like you would to place a call.
2. Instead of dialing the number, tap "Menu".
3. Tap "Options".
4. Navigate to the "Services" tab.
5. Choose "Voicemail" from the list box.
6. Click "Get Settings..."
7. Hit the "Clear" button.
8. Press "ok" to close the window.
Your main screen should reflect this action immediately, and should not indicate that you have a voicemail!

Hello,
Thank you for the instructions, however, my HTC 8925/WM6.1 does not seem to have any sort of "Clear" button, it just shows two textboxes, one with the SMSC number and the other with my VMB number.. The only options are to change/clear those text fields or click the "OK" box..
If anyone else has had the same issue, here are some workarounds:
Registry:
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\HiddenDeleteVM = 0
(DWORD, enables the "clear" button if it's not visible)
You can also go in and manually set the count:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread\Count = 0
(DWORD, set it to 0 to clear the VM indicator once and for all)
Hope this helps!
^_^

doesnt work !!
I had this same problem for a long time. I solved it by taking my SIM card out of my HD2 and putting it in another TMOUS phone. I found that I evidently had stored a voicemail on my SIM card, so I erased it. I had also been getting the infamous "129" text message that popped up on an almost daily basis. So, while I had my SIM card in the non-HD2 phone, I also looked for text messages, found one, and erased it. I then called TMOUS customer service, and they took me through a procedure they have for eliminating the "phantom" new voicemail messages. After my procedure and their procedure, problem solved! I no longer get New Voicemail prompts when none in fact exist, and I no longer get the "129" text messages.

I didn't think so either, but I gave it a try. I think the problem for me MAY have originated from my initial use of Visual Voicemail. I had no problem with either the "phantom" New Voicemail alert or the 129 text message when I initially started using my HD2. These problems arose for me after activating Visual Voicemail. Maybe it's that application which initially stored the vmail on the SIM (leading to a continuing New Voicemail alert when I thought I'd erased or saved all incoming voicemails), and the text message was the (Visual Voicemail) system's way of trying to let me know that I still had a voicemail message on the SIM??? Whatever may be the case, the method that I described in my post has worked fine for me. No more new vmail alerts when none in fact exist, and no more 129 text messages

SMS saved to sim, can't delete?

for whatever reason, the first four text messages i received upon using my tmo HD2 for the first time were saved to the sim. i can delete them and not see them while my phone is on, but upon rebooting, they come back! how do i delete them? i've searched and can't find much of anything.
thanks!
I have the same problem. Can't find a fix anywere.

i wonder why it stopped at four, though. after the fourth, all messages stopped being saved to the sim and it hasn't happened since. i haven't changed anything so i'm terribly confused!
So far, what I can suggest is for you guys to load the SIM card into any 3G/HSDPA modem client. This client will show the SMS contents in the SIM card. You can then delete them from this client.
what is 3G/HSDPA modem client?
bump this up, still need help!
anyone? anyone at all?
happened to me on AT&T when we went to DST a few months back. I don't even have a clue on how to save SMS with the HTC messaging client let alone how to delete it. After a few days the messages would disappear complete and all order has been restored.

I'm having the same problem man..I even called t-mobile "htc hd2 experts", but all they did is the same thing as what everyone else on this topic is doing lol...
I have the same problem here :-(
I have a message saved on my sim card that I can't delete either. It's annoying. Anyone found a solution to this? Is there a way to browse the sim from the file explorer?
bump. also have this problem
I try to found a solution, but I just has been reading about delete them from a SIM Card USB reader :-(
you gotta transfer your sim card to a different phone and delete the msgs there. thats what i did and it worked. I used a sony ericcson k800 phone to do it. Im not sure if theres a certain phone to transfer to but im guessing a non HD2 phone? haha

Finally I can delete the messages. I put my SIM Card in other phone (BlackBerry) and delete the SMS from there and put back the SIM Card on my HTC HD2 and the messages was deleted!
bump
Same problem here. I can 'get around' it by putting the SIM card into another phone, but that is unacceptable as a long-term workaround. Some messages are delivered straight to the SIM, and having to swap the card once a week or more is not making me happy with the device.
Is there a 3rd parry software package that allows one to delete sms messages from the SIM?
Disable SMS copy to SIM
::bump::​
Can we work on a patch to disable SMS copy to SIM?
That way when its accidentally copied we don't have to pull out the SIM to delete it on another device.
hey everyone, I've been lurking for quite some time now. Finally have something noteworthy to share. I had the same problem with SMS saved to my SIM...just go to your SIM manager...copy your SIM contacts onto your device...then delete the contacts left on your SIM. I then used PIM backup to store my contacts onto my SD card...just in case my phone goes to sh!t.
Same problem. Reported it to Tmo
They dont know balls.
I tried everything. Put Sim in another phone tried deleting the message but wouldnt work.
Even ordered a new sim card. Lasted about two weeks before the phantom voicemail/129 text started popping up again.
Text from 129 its part of the HD2 on TMO, accept it.

[Q] Getting rid of SIM messages in Messaging

I put Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 last week, and I swear while I was setting it all up there was an option to show or not show SIM messages when looking in Messaging.
However now I am using the phone regularly I can't find it any more! Every time I reboot the phone, the SIM messages are loaded higher up the list than my actual text messages which is really frustrating because it makes it hard to see my current conversations.
Does anyone know where the setting to stop it showing SIM messages is?
Thanks!

Try deleting one of them, and if it is not deleted from the sim, the check box might appear again on next reboot. Else delete what you don't need
Interesting that you can import messages from sim but not save to sim, how many messages are there?
i think what you've seen whilst setting up the phone was the message "import sim contacts now" and not sim sms... there's no setting about that in wp7 afaik
I think there are about 20 or so SIM messages. I deleted one and it went away, but didn't give me any more options to delete any others and the rest of the SIM messages are still there.
Obviously I could just delete them all but I find it annoying there is not the option to just hide them from the messaging view or something.

Cannot receive MMS (Cyanogen) Not APN problem..

I have been having this problem for 6 months, finally its annoyed me to the point of asking for more help. If i take my SIM out of my phone and put it in my wifes, i can get picture messages no problem. if the SIM is in my s4 then i cannot. i will get an error message half our later saying message could not be downloaded.
I have verified my APN information, it matches exactly with what telus says it should be, and with what it on my wifes phone. Ive also talked to telus who couldnt do anything more to help me. everything is good on their end, and like i said it works when my sim is in my wifes phone, and we have the same APN settings.
I would love to be able to get pictures in texts, everyone sends them to me and i can never view them.
another issue is that i canont send picture messages unless i turn off wi-fi. if i dont it wont send and will eventually come back saying ti could not send. if wifi is off, sends no problem. i dont so much care about this one, but if anyone knows...
Thanks in advance!
anyone?

Make sure mobile data is enabled and/or you have your messaging app set to automatically download/enable data for downloads or whatever. MMS can only be sent over mobile data and sometimes it needs to be enabled manually to send and recieve.
Hehe GUI setting is not going to solve your problem, can you attach your /system/csc/customer.xml file please, I know exactly what's your problem m8
