Exclamation mark on a text I'm trying to send??? - XPERIA X10 General

In the middle of a text conversation and the last one I try to send has an exclamation.mark instead of the temporary clock as its sending. Anyone know what that is. BTW its the stock SMS app that I'm using.

Message sending failed

This happens to me occasionally and if the problem persists, it means your phone has decied to forget its SMSC number.
Go to the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* then click Phone Information, scroll down refresh the SMSC number and click Update, this usually fixes it, sometimes it will need a restart too.

Restart of the phone worked. 1.6 fail.

It sounds a bit stupid, but keep trying what I discribed above, OR wait it out, both of these have worked for me in the past. It's like the phone has a mind of its own

When I press update next to SMSC: it says 'update error'. Any idea?

You could always manually type in the SMS center number if you know it

I don't think there is , but is pushing one notification icon too much work??
Get handcent or compSMS. I use handcent. Worked better for me.
Edit: thought I was in the Desire forum, but I guess it should work anyway?

i mean its not that big a deal but just like anything else you put on the phone you dont need it but its cool.
Go into the notification settings:
settings-> all settings-> sounds & notifications-> notifications
from there select the event: Messaging: New text message. Check the box "Display message on screen"
Now when you get a text there will be a window that pops up from the bottom of the screen.

The apps you suggested are for Android and the HD2 is Windows Mobile so its not going to work.

Picture messages taking forever to send?

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any tips anyone knows to make it go faster? Also, does anyone know an image converter? Shootme takes screens with png, I want to get stuff to jpg. Thanks.
I'm also using handcent sms.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Try image shrink lite.
I thought there was a setting on MMS to automatically resize the picture before sending... or that was my old phone? my phone send pictures very fast and I don't do anything to the picture and the camera is set to the highest res

Are you using default messing or Handcent?
I'm still having a problem with this. On all messaging applications too. It is taking 10+ minutes to send stuff and still failing. I'm using my wifi too and get 1.5 mbps up. Please help!
It's only a 17kb picture
I notice it says, "priority normal"
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I don't have any problems with mine... I use the stock messaging and when I look at the details it says it's up to 200kb and it sends within 20 seconds on edge...

It doesn't have the swirling circle next to your messages?
Maybe this is a.t mobile issue?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
No swirling for me. It just says sending for a little bit and then it shows the date and time that it was sent. You sure that your apn settings are right?

How do I change those? Or look at them?
I called T-Mobile and they said the android issue has a known problem with sending data over wifi.
anyone ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem.

Don't use wifi, only edge or 3g.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Maybe there is something odd with WiFi, but I use WiFi daily and have no issues... sorry man.
I had a problem yesterday, I was in a bestbuy and i took a picture of the touch pad to show my wife. I sent it then called her on the home phone asked if she received it. After about 4 minutes it showed up as the download button but would never download from the server. I wonder if there was a server side error yesterday?
I have this problem with this phone and two previous android phones. sometimes it takes forever, sometimes it is quick. I have written off to a T-Mobile network issue, though who knows.

Can't Receive Texts

This has been going on for the past few ROMs I've been on.
It seems I can only send texts but not receive them.
This has happened to me on EE03, EF02, and EG22. (basically any Gingerbread ROM, and not just stock ones)
I have tried changing my modem numerous times, and none seem to fix it.
The only way I can ever receive texts is using Google Voice, but I don't like using a third-party app for such a simple function. I have tried uninstalling Google Voice to see if it was the app that was blocking it, and no dice.
So if anyone knows how I can start receiving messages with the stock app again, please tell me! This has been on-going for far too long.
Thanks, in advance.

I'm still using SRF 1.2, so I'm tossing a common resolution here. Have you used a program to clear level 2 ram? Try a reboot and see if you can send MMS again.

Help with messaging limit

I recently updated to temasek's cyanogenmod 11
Everytime I send a text message, it shows the pop up "Messaging is sending a large number of SMS".
And this pop up appears every single time I send a text message even when I did not reach the limit.
Previously when I was using official cm11, I was able to overcome this problem by going to the app info and changing the "send premium sms" option to always allow.
However in this rom, changing it does not make a difference. Whenever I go back to the app info page, it changes back to the ask option.
This is driving me crazy..
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

May be it is the firmware problem. Try to flash another rom/firmware.
