XDA II SMS Replying Problem?

Hope this is the correct forum... if not mods feel free to move it
Details are:
Network: o2 (UK)
Phone: XDA II
ROM: 1.60.00WWE
Radio: 1.10.00
Protocol V: 1337.18
ExtROm V: 1.60.50
I have this really annoying problem with my o2 XDA II, where I cannot reply to SMS messages without a failure.
If I write a SMS from scratch and select the contact from my contacts list it will enter the contact number as "07799123456" and the text will send without any problems.
however if I was to receive a SMS from someone and hit the reply button (like we all do) and send the SMS I get a lovely "Your SMS message could not be sent" and it goes in to drafts. When replying it would eneter the number as "Name" <+447799123456>;
Then if I go in drafts and try to send it will show the same error... and keeps doing it. So I have to CUT the text from the message, do a new message and select the contact again and send it... this was it will send the message.
Why does it do this? and is there a cure for it? Its really, really annoying.
Any help you can give will be appreciated!
thanks!

I have the same problem occationally, for me it looks like th eproblem occurs when replying to a contact which have another operator than mine (Telia).

Message Centre
Hi there,
The problem could be occurring if you receive a message from another network. The issue is with a setting which would say "Reply using same centre". This means that the message you intend to send will go directly to the message centre of the other network. Obviously your message will not go through because you are not on that network! If this setting is disabled on the sender's phone and then you try to reply to his message you would not encounter this problem.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

ah right ok... bit annoying though cos I cant tell everyone I know(who has this setting enabled) to do this. There is a paticular contact it happens to and she always has a "Reply Request" enabled (i.e. on my old T-Mobile T610 it would say the user has requested a reply after i read all her messages). Could that be sumin to do with it?
Cant I change a setting on my XDA to send the message via the usual route it goes with it sends a message from scratch? This would work surely?
Thanks for your help, appreciate it!
Thanks,
Steve M

Replying to a text message?

Maybe it's just me with the problem, but when someone text messages me, and I press on the Reply icon, the reply won't go through once I send it. I manually have to go through my phonebook, find the person, and choose to text message them from there.
Anyone else having this problem?

This has happened to me with previous phones, I do not think it is a problem with the Magician...
The problem occurred on my SE P900 because the person who sent the SMS had a setting on their phone "Reply via same Message Centre" in their SMS settings. Seems some phones do not respect this setting (and reply using the default message centre number) meaning the text message is sent sucessfully... however, some phones (the P900 being one) do, and try to reply to the text using the SMS message centre number that the original text was sent via.
Now, this doesn't normally cause a problem, however, if you are on a network which has various message centre numbers (for contract, for pre-pay etc) then this is where the trouble can start.
O2 - UK is one of the offenders. They have a message centre number for contract users, and one for pre-pay users... however, for some unknown reason, they bar you from sending a text message via the other message centre... so, when my friend, with her Nokia 3410, on O2 pre-pay sent me a text, I couldn't reply to it, however, I could go in and make a new one and send it fine.
Ironically, I could reply to texts from other friends on completely different networks no problem, and I could reply to friends on O2 contract no problem!
Well, there's the theory... your situation might not be the exact same...
But anyway... the solution is to inform your friends to find the setting (in SMS settings) on their phone that looks like "Reply via same Message Centre" and set it to NO.
(Also note, Nokia 3410's sometimes do not have this setting available on them! I think the setting is stored on the SIM card, maybe, so you'd probably have to switch the SIM to another phone, change the setting, and switch it back.)

works for me if i delete all but the phone number in the "To" field after i choose "reply"

Message keep sending error every time phone is turned on.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Delete all record of the problem number that will not except text messages.
Including contact, favorites, call log, text log...
2. send a text message to the phone number manually make sure to include the area code, no 1 needed.
3. click the sms button on your home screen, then select the number you just sent the message to and create a new contact from there.
4. Done!!

anyone having texting issues?

So i'm having a problem with texting on the g1.
1) receive a text from someone not on your contact list.
2) add user to contact list
3) reply to text message
4) text message thread name shows as someone else
5) text goes to first person on contact list
6) delete text thread
7) compose new text, (select that new person)
8) text goes to new person
9) text thread shows as the same person from as person in #4
10) person from #8 replies and you receive it just fine.
11) reply to that text, but it goes to first person on your contact list. You don't even have to reply, when you open the text thread, the top left name shows a different name.
I have 2 contacts on my list that is linked all funky.
I have tried deleting the contact from gmail and adding them again, but I still get the issue with them.

oh if you leave the retarded thread sms there (that is displaying the wrong name) and compose a new text to the original person #8. it sends an email to #8 (that #8 cannot reply to) but shows up in your text inbox with "(no subject)" as the message preview

i know you probably sound crazy but i've had that exact same problem but good job on the description

i'm glad i'm not the only one. LOL

factory reset fixes the issue with that user's contact, but now I have to reinstall everything.

I had a similar issue where I had an email via mms sent to my phone monthly. Like, [email protected]
Once that came in - any sms I received (when I hadn't started the thread) would say it was from that email. When I tried to reply it would go to the first person in my contact list (Aaron for example) rather than the [email protected] or the original sending party.
Only way to fix it (and this is TMo's advice too since it's now a known issue) is to not get the email anymore and do a factory reset. (Haven't had the problem since then, but will be nice when it is fixed.)

Yeah, I've had this problem as well. Bloody annoying.

SMS problem

Hey!
Can you send SMS from your HD2?
I get no error message, but my messages are not sent, I get a warning sign on the right of the message bar. Also, when I long-press it, I have "Retry send" option.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Anyone knows how to fix it?

Same for me. Any ideas?
I can receive sms but cannot reply back

Huh, got it fixed myself
How-to:
1. Settings tab
2. Menu -> More
3. Connections
4. Advanced network
5. Scroll to the last tab (SMS Service)
6. Set it to GPRS Preferred or set it to GSM (it's probably set to GPRS now). If it's already set like that by default and not working, just try to switch it
7. Reboot

I was having a similar problem..
I was on the Tube and I pressed send sms... obviously I had no signal which was fine but when I got above ground I pressed retry and absolutely nothing happened. At all.
Had to reset in the end and delete the message in the outbox and start a fresh. Bloody annoying!!

Hi,
Although this thread is ancient, i see it's still open and named "SMS problems" which is exactly what I'm suffering from.
I just purchased my new HD2 this month and ever since I got it I can't send any SMS. Whenever I try to I get a message saying "unable to send message". I have set my message center number and everything but it still didn't work. I called the HTC help center and they told me I should install the hotfix from the HTC website but when I attempted that, it said it wasn't compatible with my device????
I upgraded my official ROM from 1.66.415.3 to xxxx.4 again using the updates from HTC main site. Again I got the same message.
Up till now I'm still not sure what the problem I have is, and have no clue what the hotfix really does!
Can anyone help me out in babysteps? I'm still new to this.
PS. I did look through the other forums for something similar. It seems everyone's sending texts but to the wrong people, lol.
HELP PLEASE!
