The Sony Ericsson x1 is £500s worth of so called smart phone
But the one thing I realy cant stand about it is that it wont auto que text messages.
By this I mean.... if I try to send a text message with no signal I get a big nastey red message saying something allong the lines of Message Was Not Sent. Try again? and a loud anoying beep to follow
What I want...... Is to be able to hit send, jam the phone back in my pocket and get back to what I was doing. Happy in the knowledge that if I didnt have signal when I sent the message, it will automaticly re-send as soon as I walk into signal.
This is nothing new both my old phones had it (w200i & w300i both cost less than £40) if anybody knows of a way fix this or has the brains to create a way to fix this then id drop to my knees and worship you! Coz I dont know how much longer I can stand walking around my house with both my arms in the air beeping instead of sending a text.
ALL THOSE THAT AGREE THIS NEEDS FIXING PLEASE POST
Message Was Not Sent. Try again?
Its a PPC not a smartphone
But yes it is pretty lame but i can deal with it
yep if somebody can think of a way to fix this - would be much appreciated!
no fixes im afraid matey
we all here just learn to live with the lame ass excuse of a device this can be
but hey for me it does 7 outa the 10 things i need!
Dont lose hope! there are people out there smart enuff to put a phone in a phone (TF3D) SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL SAVE US! untill then im just gonna keep moneing
your telecomm operator sucks...not the phones fault.
now if u try to call someone and signal is poor..what do u expect?..X1 should call the guy back once signal is good again? lol.

I dont realy have a problem with makeing calls I found that if my signal drops I just go into comm manager turn phone off then on and 3 seconds later I get 2 bars were I had no signal b4 sometimes poor quality but no beeping or 40 cannot make call so up yours .!.. messages. works for me eveytime but not with messageing
Honestly, the Treos I had... 600, 650, 680, ALL already auto-retried if you sent an SMS out of coverage.
In fact, I can (and have experienced) a few situations this is useful. FOR EXAMPLE:-
1) Hiking outback, with spotty coverage, I could set it to send an SMS letting my family/gf/whoever know I am safe and will be home at XXX time, and the SMS will auto-send as soon as there is a brief signal.
2) Sometimes, the signal is weak enough that a voice call won't work, but an SMS could actually be sent. In this situations, allowing the phone to take care of sending the SMS with the weak signal works better since it auto-resends repeatedly until it goes through.
3) When on the airplane, I had my phone on plane mode (no signal), and I would queue up a bunch of SMS messages to friends to let them know I arrived. As soon as I land, I turn off the plane mode (turn on the signal) and it punches out all the queued up SMS messages.
These are just a few I can think of that I used, I'm sure there are many other situations this would be useful to have auto-retry sending messages.
Anyone have good ideas?!
I find it annoying i can't stop a message being sent once I press the send button (accidentaly or otherwise).
good thing i always have signal in netherlands Oo
im too cheap to get the text message plan with att, so i asked them to block the service for me all together
lack of text message can be make up for by having unlimited internet

What if the plane crashes and you don't survive but your phone does? Sour aftertaste for friends and family that would be
It never happened to me, but I found a setting in the MMS settings, which says in case of failure, retry x times. My phone is in french, but if I try to translate litterally, it is (from your SMS inbox) :
Menu - MMS options - Number of tries in case of failure : and then select 5 in the listbox.

Its usefull to know that you can prep messages ready to sent, but how dose it work? if I send a text with phone off and then flick it on will it auto send the message when it finds signal?

Well, the PalmOS Treos worked that way. They'll queue up, and as soon as a signal is detected, it sends all the queued up SMS.

Unfortunately, this only affects MMS, not SMS. So it retries MMS, not SMS.
i was having these issues, and it is the cell company.
tmo was giving me the run around talking the x1 is not supported. but then i had them dissconnect my line and refresh m connection to their network and have not had a problem yet.
il get onto vodafone then see what they say, iv asked sony ericsson about it and they wernt any help They also told me theres no way to stop the experiance panel from changeing colour thay say its a feature of the phone
Whos idea was it to call the cancel button the ok button lol. I still havnt sussed out how to use it. Sometimes it closes programs and somtimes it dosnt
sometimes it will let me switch programs and sometimes it wont? madness lol
I live in an area where I have great fun with the X1 and it's low signal strength. I have 2 bars of standard connection (GPRS/GSM) until I pick the phone up, and then I have no signal at all. The thing is, what really drives me nuts is getting a SMS, picking the phone up and writing the reply, then putting the phone down for about 15 seconds whilst waiting for a signal, then pressing "Send" without picking it up again! It is sooo annoying! My Nokia 6500 Classic kept its signal all the time! Anyways, this wouldn't be so bad if the phone held the message until it got a signal then sent it instead of displaying that stupid ***** "Message couldn't be sent. Retry?" red message. The Palm Threaded SMS App is almost a perfect work around but has various issues and doesn't like MMS very much. Is there a good SMS/MMS program out there to get round my woes? How difficult can it be to hold a message in "Outbox" till you have a signal!
And no, changing operator is not an option. It's O2 by the way.
Thanks in advance.
mate, this annoys me so much. i have gotten in so much trouble with the missus for not texting her back when in reality the phone has not sent the message and i havent looked for the confirmation cos i turned them off with xperia tweak...
This is a windows mobile problem and it doesn't seem anyone has an answer.

for some days now my phone is acting weird.
The sign in the corner for example saying "3G" sometimes changes into a G or E, what does that mean? which stands for what?
i think that causes my main problem: i cant recieve sms and sometimes calls from another country. calls sometimes work but sms- no chance.
Why does this happen and what can I do to fix this problem?
it stuck to "E" now and still no sms recieved.
i checked some settings and i switched GSM to GPRS somewhere but still the same

Hello Qabooz,
The signs mean 3G= you are connectted to UMTS line, G= you are GSM line, E= Edge line.
It changes when the power of signal change.
Can be possible that your line have international limitations?
regards
i was always able to recieve sms well until these signs started to change. since then i just wont get them. but if the signs represent the networks/operators "strength" it makes sense. since the sms comes from another coutry, with a lower signal strength of my phone it doesnt reach me.
ok this might cause the problem but how can i fix this`?
but thx for explanation of the signs

one of the several reasons.
The SMS is not dependent on the signal strength, be it at G, 3G, E or H. It's dependant on how fast the SMS server of each operator can despatch it to the user. Sometimes the SMS gets stuck in the sending operator's (of different network of different country) server.
but why did it change then all of a sudden when it was ok all the time
Has anyone noticed the timestamps in texts being incorrect? I've gotten a few lately that were only off by a couple of minutes, but my reply shows the right timestamp. For example, I get a text at 11:03, but it shows it comes in at 11:05, and my reply goes out at 11:04 so it shows it before the message I was replying too.
I'm not roaming, so I don't think that's the cause (it tends to be quite a bit worse when roaming or with very little signal)

So far I haven't noticed that. It could be something to do with the other person's clock, if they're on roaming or using a 3rd party app that for whatever reason has the time wrong, or from a different carrier that has the time set differently than Sprint. I believe messages are time stamped as they are sent, just a theory.

well, considering the only person I've noticed it on (pretty much the only person i text regularly) is on Sprint, and works at the call center so she has very good service, that's probably not the issue. Although, I suppose since she's sending it from a blackberry that could be the issue.

It was just a thought. But they probably have a repeater in the building to boost the signal. Could be that, check and see if it happens when she isn't in the building. My sister has a BB with US Cellular and I double checked, I don't get that with hers. Maybe they don't time stamp on send, but when it is received.

didn't even think of the repeater...that could be the problem. I'm like 5 feet from a repeater right now lol. Which was why it was funny when I called tech support trying to get the thing activated and they all asked "do you have good service", so I told them I probably had better signal than they did.
When I worked for an answering service company a long time ago, my supervisor took me on a tour of the place. In their computer room they had all kinds of stuff in there. This was back in the day when alpha numeric pagers were popular. When we transcribed what the caller said to type out and send it to a pager, one of the computer devices in the computer room held messages until its buffer filled or a certain amount of time elapsed. Then it would send a group of messages all out at the same time. Maybe that's what is happening with sprints hardware. Its holding texts and buffering them then shoots them out all at once in a group instead of one by one. That's my guess.

I remember those days, lol. I'm not sure if there is a buffer or not, messages between my family all go straight though from what I can tell. Then again there are tons of messages sent every second, so maybe the buffer is filled quickly. It's a good theory.
Do you have the Airrave or Airvana unit? If the Airvana that's probably the issue. Supposedly they (who?, dunno?!) are working on a firmware fix for that. Doesn't happen to everyone with the Airvana unit, but it happens often enough to be troublesome.

I've had the same problem on my EVO and my shift. It is quite annoying when sending texts back and forth.
Ex. My friends text will say 11:06, but my clock says its only 11:05.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
timestamps
They are wrong on mine, but so is the clock. I changed it manually. Problem solved, for me at least.
i get this where someone sends me a text, i reply, they reply to that afterwards but it gets put ABOVE my initial reply in the thread with them. blows my mind.
Does the airware work with aosp roms? ive noticed my signal gets really bad running any type of aosp at my house (always had bad reception) few months ago sprint sent us an airware, i flashed tommys sense rom and i noticed i get much better signal and the mobile broadband light is blinking on the airwave, when on aosp no blinking light and down to 1 bar sometimes no 3g
My phone connects to my Airrave fine on MIUI - that is, when the Airrave is working. It's a POS.
No rom works well with the airave. Its a piece of garbage that deserves to burn.
First, your better off WITHOUT it. It basically only makes your phone beep 3 times when starting or receiving a call, steals bandwith from your internet, and gives your phone a placibo 4-6 bar signal depending on how close you are.
OCCASIONALLY it will help your call quality. But it will screw up your texts. Be warned, when you have it on and try texting people and get a "message not sent" notify, pull the plug on your airave instantly and make it restart or keep it off or else the person your texting gets 5-40 of the exact same message. It pisses everyone off.. When the issue happens like then, restarting it sometimes fixes the issue for maybe 30mins to 5 hours?

+1 I thought the resending the same text over and over was fixed but its not. So when I see its sending the same text over and over, I have to put the phone in airplane mode,use Google voice to text. And the second thing that annoys me is the gps will say you are somewhere where your not. Like my airave puts me in west Chicago when I live about an hour or so away.
The only real reason I use it is so when I'm flashing a rom I get lazy and don't want to put in my WiFi password so I use the 3G haha.
