SMS sent twice - Bug with Xda Neo O2 Rom ?

The trouble is that all my SMS are sent twice, once when i Tap "send" and always when i recieve a SMS. Someone told me it was a Bug with the O2 Rom, and fixed with latest Update, but i already run the newest O2 Rom...
I would flash the Dopod Rom, where evrything is fine ( i already tried ), but Transcriber is English then, and many German words are misunderstood...
Do you have any Ides ?
Can i install the German transcriber somehow ?

I used to get this problem on my Magician (O2 Xda II mini). I found that if I tapped on 'send' and then closed the messaging app, the OS sent the message but was unable to remove the copy from the Outbox. So the next time the mail app was opened, it found the message in the outbox and sent it. That's how you end up with two messages getting sent.
The only way to stop this is to wait until the 'message sent' notification is displayed after you send a text. This way you know that the OS has had time to clean up.
Seems silly I know, but I think it is just the way the OS works. I have not seen this yet on the Prophet but then maybe I have just trained myself to wait for the notification! :roll:

Mhm, this maybe it !
I wondered that everytime i recieve a Message, it says "Message send"
Thanks for the Info, i will have a look at this.

Do you have SPB Plus on your pda? Or another program to close applications?

Yes !
Someone told me that i can do two things to prevent Outlook from sending :
a) Wait 5 seconds until i get the notification "Message send"
b) Add /windows/tmail.exe to the exceptions in SPB Plus, so that Outlook (tmail.exe) is never closed, but always minimized.
Both work !

I have had this on every ROM that I have tried.... and as mentioned previously, I now just wait till "Message Sent" appears. I am using Wisbar Advance to close programs, which closes them totally down leaving the SMS in the Outbox therefore sending twice.

Messaging program not working

Hi all,
I have a problem that when I try to open a SMS message the messaging progrm shows a blank white screen, this is the case also with all kinds of messaging (MMS, email, ...). I thought that the database might be corrupted so I deleted all my messages to empty the database completely, but I had no luck to get this thing working... the program shows a list of emails, sms but does not open them, also I can't create a new SMS or send or forward SMS messages...
Any solution other than a Hard Reset??????????
Thanks

Any help here??

I am not using GPRS / MMS messaging. Niether I have installed anything new recently. and even my sms-inbox is not overflowing with messages.. hardly 15-20.
Is there an option other than a hard reset?
Please help me. thanks

I had that issue. It was my CEstar, which is a program that displays chinese fonts, that conflicted with messaging. I uninstalled it and everything is fine now. Hope that helps!

i have almost the same problem
I use yahoos go! to get my email. im able to send and receive sms fine.. but when it comes to my yahoo mail.. I can see the suject and the sender but when I click to see it.. the screen is blank but I figured out that if u press the left and right button it shows the nxt message and than goes back to the one u click to read.. that's the only way it'll show the message.. but the problem is that I can create a new message cause the screen goes blank and I cant get out of that.. but one thing I haven't been able to do is view html mail it always shows as just txt.. anyone have any explanation for this??

send message to all my contacts

Hi,
is there a possobility to send a message (for the new year) to all my contacts? The best would be if i could send the message only to the mobile numbers.
thx

There is a program out there, called "group SMS", however, i dont use it, so cant say if it will do exactly as you ask.
However it is a step forward from Raw WinMo, which does not appear to send group txts of any kind.
Best of luck.

You could also have a look at "Power SmS", though you would have to build your groups manually before sending your message.

ok, i tried power sms, i didn't an sms yet, but it sees to work, thx

Perhaps you think you're typing the correct password...but you're not pressing the correct keys...
There are faults within the SMS app. These are:
* Messages queueing in the outbox - this is by far the most documented issue.
* Messages supposedly being sent but not arriving with the recipient for days and sometimes not ever.
* Messages going to a completely different recipient than the one replied to on the handset. This has happened to me twice now and the bogus recipient has always been someone I have had a conversation thread open with - ie this is not a completely random person on my contacts list. So say I have three open conversation threads going....and I reply to one person within one of those threads, on two occasions now the recipient has been another contact in a completely different conversation thread. Suffice to say I now have zero confidence when sending texts on the HD2 and limit what I say, bigtime.

I would highly recommend that you disable HTC Messaging.
Please refer to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614
and
install NET framework 3.5
The SMS now works very fast and flawlessly.

Hi,I will send SMS to many people,more than 10, how?

There is a reg tweak to increase that limit. Install BsB tweaks 1.6 to make the change easily.

I've a problem with my HD2. When I receive sms, it sometimes hang. My supplier have changed it to Energy ROm and it's still giving me problem.
Also, it sometimes hang during charging.
Pls help.

Are you using regular message application?
If so double check on you have ticked for delivery report for SMS and MMS in the settings
And check with your service provider its already activated to your sim card (this has noting to do with what kind of phone ur using, ask service provider to activate such service, if its available with them)

the X10i does not notify you if the sms was delivered, you can check by tap and hold on the message (sms) you send and a menu pops up and you select view report, it will show you if it is delivered or pending. it is a pain in the a$$.

I just called customer service. They told me on the right side of the SMS, there's an envelope. If there's an exclamation mark on top of it, it means its delivered...

I haven't use the regular message from the beginning.
Try using Handcent Sms, its free. And I have made customized handcent sms for X10.
check this forum handcent sms Modified to XPERIA X10 GUI
Once you installed,
On Handcent, go to settings/sent notifications/pick notify when message is received.
and do a test msg to a friend. It should show you an indication and you can pick custom tone.
Note:
if you get 2 notification for one message its because handcent and regular message both alerting for same event.
go to regular message and setting and remove all the notifications. keep only handcent.
Good luck

If it is MMS, then Exclamation mark, else Tick mark for SMS.....

Hi all,
I think I'm having a similar problem -
When I send a message, it definitely is sent - my friends are receiving them - but in Handcent, I get the blue-turning circle next to the message (as if it is still sending) and in the stock messaging app, the same message has the envelope with the exclamation mark.
Yet the messages ARE being sent.
This has only just started happening in the last day or so. I have installed quite a few apps to help save the battery since rooting - e.g. JuiceDefender, SetCPU, TaskPanel and StartUp Manager, but as far as I can tell I've not done anything to the SMS settings. As far as I can tell...
I'm on R2BA023, rooted, on O2 UK.
I've had a look through all the settings I can think of but I'm stumped now. This is the final niggle in my otherwise great new rooted set-up...

Hey - just wanted to update as I seem to have fixed it...
Not sure HOW, but it's one of the following. Seems to be something in "Startup Manager".
1) I had removed "Handcent SMS" for "User startup". Under the basis of "if I need it, I will run it".
2) Had removed the default x10 "Messaging" app from "System startup". It had 3 entries in there. I removed them all...
So one of those things broke the Outbox. As I mentioned, messages would send (confirmed by friends) but still appear as "in progress".
So, having put them all back in "System Startup", and rebooted, the "stuck" messages finally stopped being "stuck". Fixing it seems to have sent the messages again, but they are no longer "in progress". They are, however, time-stamped with the current time (e.g. today) and not the time sent (e.g. yesterday). It turns out they have been "sent" again.
Oh dear, I just tinkered to try to pinpoint the problem and I've broken it again.
Further edit:
Actually, far from having fixed it, it seems that now the "stuck" messages only send during a reboot.
Trying to send them when the phone is "on" just leaves them stuck in the outbox. If I power off & on, they leave the outbox... BUT the recipient gets them again.
Damnit.
Any ideas?

I dont think your rooting or any other application will affect this.
tell us what settings are u on when you go to :
On Handcent, go to settings/sent notifications/"What option??"

I think it's not so much the "rooting" as possibly "things I have tinkered with after I got power-crazy after rooting", i.e. trying to disable things I don't need from running at startup. Un-doing that seemed to improve it...
Odd that at the moment it sends during boot. So something runs at boot that sends my outbox messages, but it can't run once the phone is on.
I just uninstalled Handcent and used the stock app. Sent a message first time with no problems...
I will reinstall Handcent and take a look at what happens. I can't not have that app now, I love it (until I broke it).

its exclamation for all....

Well, re-installed Handcent. Seems to be okay now.
It's a bit odd, I never changed the settings in there, as far as I can tell.
Shiwantha, I remember that initially "Sent notifications" was on "Disable" but I changed it to "Notify when sent" when I was having problems, and it made no difference.
Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks for your help!

A quick follow-up... I like to give as much info as possible in these situations so anyone else who happens to find this problem may find something here that helps...
After re-installing Handcent, there are now two entries in StartUp Manager's "User" section. After my previous tinker-sessions, I could only see one to enable/disable, but I thought there were two before.
So I think that I "broke" one of those start-up entries.
For the record, it is working now and I have:
- Disabled ALL "Messaging" entries in "system" section of Startup Manager
- Left BOTH entries for Handcent SMS in "user" section of Starup Manager
The only conclusion I can think of is that by disabling the "Handcent" entries, I "broke" one of them, and so could only re-enable one of the entries. I assume the other one had some kind of SMS outbox functionality.
I'm just guessing though. But at least I can disable the "messaging" stock apps and it all still works.
FIXED. Relief!

Sent from my X10i using XDA App

In additon to owning the X10 I own the X1. The message delivery notification was driving me mad on the X1. With the X10 I noticed there is a red X if the message has not been sent. However, once it is send the red X is cleared away. I like it this way much better.
