Just so others can help properly it's worth checking that your text messages are not being received despite the message. For a while I got the message cannot be sent messages but in fact they were being sent!

Oooooh! Not good, hope you they were not sent I ended up with repeated messages sent all over the place. Maybe you could check by sending message to yourself.
Mike

well...i sent msg to myself and it works fine, saying "message successfully sent" but all other numbers it still wont go.

I see a reply from qtotter which I don't follow but may well make sense to you. Just in case qtotter does not have the explanation the following may help.
When I had the problem I began to notice that some numbers worked and some did not according to the message sent pop up. (as I said before all were actually being sent).
In my case it turned out to be to do with whether the numbers were on SIM on Phone or had been imported from SIM. As an experiment you could try re entering one of the numbers that appears not to work and saving it. Then try it again, if it's the same as the problem I had you may find the same number now works. Worth a try?
Mike

i guess what qtotter meant was that SMS in Japan is only possible between Softbank(Vodafone) and AU. Docomo doesnt support SMS...
For the x01th (hermes), it is the only phone in Japan without a proper email address connected to the carrier ( at least to my knowledge, maybe Willcom`s awesome W-Zero series has no email...dont know)
About the issue with the sms...i will look into the contact list/ sim issue.
Guess i will send some SMS and Cmails (AU) around.
Thanks for the tipp....

it's more like there is no way to get an address with x01th and use it on x01th by default. firstly, if you put your sim into another sb phone and go to Y!, you can get an account. secondly, if you install an mms client in x01th and set up vodafone/softbank mms setting, you can actually use mms on it. there is still some problem which happens once in awhile, but it works most of the time.
by the way, zero3 comes with an email address.

MMS problems on Vodafone UK

Would any other members who are on Vodafone UK please let me know if they can send MMS messages. I have tried both contract and pay as you go sims, I can receive MMS messages but cannot send them. I would be grateful for any information to resolve this problem.

I wonder if this is related to my issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618218
According to this (I can't verify if it's out of date or not), Vodafone's MMS limit is 100k. If you want, you can try using Handcent Sms from the market, which severely reduces the file size (therefore the resolution and quality of the picture) before sending out an MMS. I'm curious to see if you're having the same issue as me. If you do, the stock messaging program has a pretty huge flaw in it which needs to be addressed.
Tell me how it goes.

Hmmm I was really hoping that would be the issue
I tried to do some research, and it seemed like some Hero users were having the same issue as you. See if this helps you at all: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/7776-mms-vodafone.html

The key would be this quote:
"All Vodafone Numbers MMS is deactivated At network level by default , you need to Ring customer services up on 191 Free of charge and ask them to Activate it"
I'm surprised they do it that way - it always used to be that the first MMS you sent activated your account automatically.

I think I had been down this way before but rang Customer Services again just to make sure. The guy at Vodafone first asked for my number which he checked and said that it was already activated for mms and internet, he then asked for make and model of phone, this is the good bit, he has never heard of this phone and it is not on their database so no support. I told him that they would be supporting this phone in the very near future, he said that if that is true I should just wait until that happens and ring back then.
What is it that makes it so difficult to send a flippin picture message

tell him you have a Vodafone Magic ... its a supported Android phone on Vodafone and the menus are identical so if he wants to talk you through setting anything up then no problem.
If he has to set anything network side to work on Voda then no problem either

TMOUS HD2 Problem: Texts being recieved by multiple people!

My HD2 is sending text messages to other people that are in my text log. I don't know why. I've done a factory reset on it. I haven't installed any roms or anything. This is straight out of the box t-mobile hd2 (US). This is a serious breach of privacy if I'm texting my gf!
Please advise

Just from a quick google I found two other posts with this same issue on other websites.
hxxp://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44927
hxxp://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-HD2/Have-to-exchange-my-HD2-but-just-for-a-new-HD2/m-p/340431
Only possible fix is replacing my sim card? Its less than a year old.

No one else on xDa having this problem?

I don't know what to do I bought the phone from someone online, I can't even get it traded from t-mobile.

no SMS problem here on AT&T with HD2 t9193

my texts work fine, except that if my friend replies in the same minute as me, their text goes above mine, but that is only minor nuisance. i haven't experienced anything you talk about. sorry i can't help.

wow, how am I the ONLY person with this issue on xda

I am having the same issue. It is sending texts to wrong person who is already in the text log...not to multiple people though. I bought my hd2 from tmobile store. I enabled the traditional mode in the text settings and that took care of the text messaging problem. looks like there is some bug in the sms software loaded on hd2.

me too.

Thank God I am not crazy. I thought that it was me. I sent a text message to one person and three people responded?!?! Irealized I was not crazy when two contact pictures showed up in the original persons thread of messages. I need to know what the fix is myself. I will call customer service tonight to let them know. I will report back with any news,

one of my friends had this same issue I planned on changing the rom on her phone but if something else works let me know thanks!

Do you mean add all the contacts "to" the sim card? All I have done was use the microsoft myphone feature to grab all the contacts. please clarify a bit for me. thanks.

Im having the same problem on my hd2 (us) as well. I even exchanged it and Iv had it for about 3 days and am still having the same problem. Does getting a new sim card for sure fix the problem 100%?

I returned the first HD2 I had and got another one. The problem went away until today. Not pleased. I swear, I have never had the amount of problems with a phone - out the box - that I am having with this phone.

There should be a program called SIM MANAGER you click on that and copy all your sim contacts to your phone. I think that is what he meant.

Have you tried removing HTC messaging and going with a different program?

Hate to not stay on topic here, but for this issue, I found out that hd2 uses client time for outgoing messages, but server time for incoming ones, which is why they seem out of order. Syncing the time fixed it for me.

^ How did you snyc the time?

No problem here..thats kinda odd indeed

tmous HD2 text logs my phone
i purchase my HD2 lastweek thursday and had to return it cuz it log as hell and freeze up, i look at the processor uses and some its sihome uses 98% wat the .. come on total freeze, now i found out that its the text message that is logging the phone and if i am doin something while the text is coming in it logs and if i continue to use it freeze..HELP is there some fix the the text issue

[Q / Solved] Android loves everyone but my wife

I've read, searched and done my homework on this problem, but can't figure it out.
SMS works fine texting anyone in my contact list EXCEPT my wife. I can send a new message to her but I can't reply to an SMS she sends me.
Looking into the details of the failed SMS, it shows it is trying to go to 01214-xxx-xxxx. There's a 0 where there should be a +
Everyone else is +1xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Looking at the SMS she sends me doesn't have the +1 (like everyone else). All SMS TO ME are on the form xxx-xxx-xxxx and all replies +1xxx-xxx-xxxx EXCEPT my wife.
She's on Sprint, I'm on AT&T. The kids are on Sprint and can reply back just fine. They both have Android phones too. I can reply to the kids just fine.
One more possible clue, she was the only contact that somehow got on my SIM card. I deleted that off and just use my Exchange contacts now. However, that's still not doing it.
*** Solved ***
The issue was the Twitter contact I had for my wife. She and I both have Twitter accounts. We followed each other. The Twitter contact info looked correct but was causing issues.
To troubleshoot I first deleted the Exchange contact. Then she sent a test SMS. My phone interpreted her number with the culprit 0 IE 01xxx-xxx-xxxx instead of xxx-xxx-xxxx or +1xxx-xxx-xxxx.
... the SMS shows as coming from xxx-xxx-xxxx but something in my phone was still appending a 0 .... and my phone still knew my wife's name. So I knew I had some remnant of info of her in my phone. The only thing I could find was the Twitter contact.
I unfollowed her and readded her contact info. Presto!!! I can reply to her SMS texts now.

She's cheating on you

That "0" is the country code, but for some reason its using 2 codes (0 & 1) check you contacts and make sure her number is right in there also

But the thing is, everyone else can reply to her SMS just fine. Thankfully, I have an identical phone to compare with. Both my wife and daughter have EVOs on Sprint. I can reply to my daughter's SMS messages but not my wife's.
I think mr_billionaire is on to something, and I suspected the same. The international code is hosed somewhere. Under call settings I found an international code difference on my wife's phone (than my daughter's) under Settings, Call. My daughter's said 011, my wife's was 01. Changing it to my daughter's 011 didn't help.
It must be some way my wife's contact is stored in my phone.

mayb its got to do with call barring?

I'm just going to take a guess and assume that your sig is what your running for your phone correct? if so then I wouldn't be surprised if you were having that issue.

maybe...
what if you just hard reset your phone and see if that fixes it....I mean kinda sucks but might work

Try deleting her contact from your phone, SIM, and whatever server you sync with. Then have her send you a text and try again.

This is a known problem, Android doesn't like my wife either.. My wife keeps on saying that i'm cheating on her with my Android... Bottom line man... Give up, they will never get along..

ok I might get killed with this one - but did you reboot to winmo and see if you can reply to your wife yet? aint hd2 great? if android doesn't work, go winmo!

This looks like a candidate for failblog.

WinMo always used to work, but I figured I'd test again. I booted into Windows Mobile and sent a test and was able to reply back just fine.
Then I booted into Android and ran the same test, ...fail.
The contact should be identical in both since it is pushed from the Exchange server. However, I'm not trusting it. I'm going to delete her contact and re-add her.

Take it as a blessing and an excuse!!

Wrong Contact being associated with numbers

When I get certain SMS's from non-contact numbers the SMS application shows it to be from a certain friend of mine. It is not him and the real contact information of the sender is only shown correctly in the SMS widget.
But if I go into the SMS application the message is associated to a contact of mine who has nothing to do with the SMS.
example: when I am on roaming I get an SMS informing me I am on a certain roaming network. when i look into the SMS application it tells me that the SMS came from a friend of mine.
any solutions ?

I have this exact issue too.

so no solutions then ?
HTC haven't even responded to my query regarding this issue.

I think I can help you guys but in order to make sure that you are affected by the same problem, please try the following and let me know:
1) Try to edit one of your contacts (one you haven't modified before) in other words, not frequently used and select the option to block that contact. Now go to the list of blocked users. Is the one you blocked in there or someone else instead?
2) Try to change the ringtone for one of your contacts again. Is the ringtone changed or same as before?

I get that problem sometimes, with new contacts. But usally solves itself, after about 10-20 SMS?

Guys your missing the issue, when we receve calls or text from people NOT in our contacts, sometimes the device will just pick a random contact and say its from them lol
