Hi,
I'm developing an application for Android 2.2 that should send an SMS
immediately when the phone starts ringing (under UMTS/GSM). I'm using
the android.telephony.SmsManager.sendTextMessage for sending the SMS.
The app is working fine under the emulator, i.e. when I call the
emulator phone from another emulator, the SMS is sent instantly.
However, when I'm testing the application on HTC Desire, the SMS
sending only succeeds after the phone has stopped ringing.
Is there anything that could be done about this or is it just a
restriction of the HTC Desire device? Seems strange as it's working
fine under emulator and it shouldn't be a restriction of the network..

Why, and where would it send it?

Well the most time-critical case would be to get information about the caller from an SMS-based service. So it would be important to get the SMS sent as soon as possible..

There are many services where you can send an SMS containing a phone number and the service will reply with an SMS that contains the caller identification of that number. Android is missing an application that could use these services on the fly. If the device could send and receive SMS's while the phone is ringing, it could show the caller id of an unknown caller before hanging up.
Unfortunately it seems that Android OS is preventing this, and that's the reason why such an application doesn't exist (there are such apps for Symbian S60 devices so the network isn't a restriction)..
There is a app called truecaller, it looks up whitepages via dataconnection.

Yeah i've been there too.
If you long-press on the message that went wrong and select info, then you will see what number the sms went to for real.
This started when I used an app (think it was SMS Popup).
Now I only use handcent and haven't seen this problem since.
Android bug. Nothing you can do really except if you use a third party messaging app. Wait for a fix from Google.
Thanks you guys help~~
Trying^^
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

Me 4. I too have this problem.
Admin please delete my previous thread, i was not able to find this topic but google did.
having the same issue here and its very annoying. I knwo the desire had the same issue until htc fixed it
Hello,
I have an 3G N7 and know that it can not receive / send SMS. OK, that is what was told of.
But today I got a notification that I have a message in notification bar, opened it and it looked like a regular SMS message.
Then I tested myself, I sent a normal SMS to my tablet gsm number and received it instantly. I'm on Vodafone if that makes any sense.
Build number is JDQ39 - baseband 1231_0.17.0_1205, Kernel 3.1.10-g05b777c.
Obviously this is some app inside that handles the received message, what's the app name ? location ? at least is interesting to know that at least SMS I can receive. How can I access it ?
Best regards,
Radu
Hi, i also have the same question. Anybody knows?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Download Go sms from store.
Google Voice works great on the N7 for sending and receiving sms, also. Sms works over wifi or data.
I maybe not beein too explicit.
I have received two SMS, regular kind, sent through my gsm carrier.
As i received them, means there is some app that recognise it and can handle the sms.
Question is, what is the app, how can i acces the messages received.
I'm aware of various solutions for sms that require to have an online account, in order to handle sms, do not want to use this kind of service.
Also, there is hack to install sms/mms apk by rooting, but, again this is not the object of my question.
I just want to check my incoming sms's for now.
Best regards,
Radu
Like mentioned above, if you install gosms or any other third party app it should allow you to view that text message that came through the carrier

Long press the notification and press "App Info" and that will tell you the name of the app.
Hello again,
Here is screenshot and detaild of the app.
As it says it receives SMS, but also can write SMS- see last line, in theory.
Question is, where can find this app. Looks to be hidden..
Sent from my Nexus 7
How to do so with stock mms.apk has already been covered here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34282107
Right in the N7 3G dev section. XDA search function is highly recommended

Hello Rebel,
I know the MMS.APK, saw it, thank you for heads up.
My specific question is, why should I use that, if I have an app already installed. I do get SMSs from any regular gsm phone, without being necessary to create an online account for GOSMSPRO or whatever similar. The screen shot says that I might be able to send also, on my cost SMSs. No probIem, just want to find that app that handles the SMS received. Can I do that ? can I send using same app that is ALREADY installed?
thank you for patience

So it seems the 'Simple message receiver' is an app that comes with the 3g N7. Mine is just wi-fi, so I can't check, but does your app drawer have that app? If you check Settings > Apps > All, is it listed there? I have no idea how to open it if it is not in the app drawer or if you would be able to send using it anyway. Interesting that it is included in the 3G version.

Yes. As thw thread states, they are successfully receiving and sending sms from the same app over gsm, just as you would on a phone. The only difference i forsee is doing so with a dedicated data sim, or using the sim from your existing phone.
Many are using the latter, and using other apps to forward thier phone calls to the data side, and using sms normally.

I cant seem to find a way to block calls & SMS ( no sending to voicemail or archived messages) Im looking for a method similar to what CM roms offer where I can have both blocked and no notification or even a trace that a call/SMS came from the said numbers. Is this possible on the stock rom w/o 3rd party apps ?
There is no real block function in stock (unless the latest update to the phone app doesn't send it to voicemail). Best is to use a 3rd party app.
Mr Number has worked for my mother.
Actually there is a work around in Google Contacts app. Check the guide below:

You can always use truecaller.

The stock phone app (2.3.12) now supports this.
I have not received any SMS after blocking (which I shouldnt, so not 100% sure about that), but I have seen posted elsewhere that SMS are also blocked.
EDIT: so I tried, it doesnt seem to block SMS. However you can block SMS in the messenger app. You still receive the message(s), but you get no notification and the messages are archived. Not exactly what you are looking for but, almost.
Id prefer not to use any 3rd party app and just the stock apps or maybe an xposed module that can do so?
At least the calling part is taken care off the SMS part is something id prefer not to have anything stored on my phone just like how CM does it but I guess I have to live with that for now.

how do you get yours to automatically delete voicemails?
on my phone app, under call blocking it says "calls will be blocked but they may still be able to leave you voicemails".
