Hello!
I've been using my HD for a while now and really like it, except for one wierd behaviour it has going on. If i click the new message icon on the "message" TF3D tab and then start writing the recipients surname (since it sorts the contacts by surname) it will give me some options from my contacts to choose from. If i pick one and click send, it will then give me a list of everyone with the same surname, so I have to click my recipient again.
It then gives me all of the possible numbers of the recipient, so I choose the right number, and then it sends the message. Except it sends it twice. Or sometimes even thrice.
It doesn't do this if I go through contacts or just reply to an SMS, only when I go through the message tab. This is a little annoying since I find it convienient to use. Anyone seen this problem before?
Also, why is it giving me more contacts with the same surname to choose from after I've picked the one it proposed? This is quite annoying, and once led to me sending a quite innapropropriate SMS to my girlfriends dad one drunken night...
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I have set up my AOL email with the Leo, and it is finding its loading them fine, but I can just seem to flick through them, If I tap/double tap them, nothing happens and so the new email count isn't going down.
What do I do ?

Try this, lock your phone go to start --> lock in the left corner, and the slide to unlock it... That'll do the trick ;-)

One small issue that's a bit irratating for me is I've got 2 accounts set up to send e-mails to my phone and when I see that I've received e-mails and go to check them it:
a) Doesn't necesarilly start off showing the account that's received an e-mail..would be better if it automatically highlighted the account that's received the most recent e-mail..
b) When I'm in the right account it'll show a count of how many new e-mails I've received but when I read one and delete it it won't go to the next e-mail received and I'll have to flick through the remainder to get to the next new one before opening it up to read..What I'd like to happen is after reading/actioning any e-mail it automatically goes to the next newest e-mail and not any older ones that I've still got sat in my in-box.
If anyone knows how to resolve those minor niggles I'd be gratefull to hear from you.

Sorry man I havent got any idea.
Hi all! I've update the software & I enabled the delivery report for sms.
When I send a SMS, I did not receive the delivery report. Anybody encounter this?
How can I make the delivery report work? Thanks

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).

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!

I just unrooted else would have shown u the screenshot.
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.
Hi everyone,
I just got my wildfire and I've already experienced a bit of an issue with it. I tried texting my friend today with the phone and i noticed that all the messages i send is gathered together on one end while her text messages are grouped together on the other end. I was wondering if there's a way to resolve this; I can't say I enjoy scrolling up and down endlessly trying to read my texts and try to respond to it properly.
the second issue is the fav't list. I tried setting my fav't list with the contacts on my phone that's not on fb or any other social network and it doesn't seem to work at all.
thanks for the help.
p.s. I'm not new to the forums, I started out being apart of this community as a sony ericsson x1 user, now I'm using the wildfire. It's great to be here, I'm very excited and hope to continue to help make some helpful and constructive contributions to the forums.
I guess I should explain this more clearly just to make sure.
here's what happens when I text
It seems to appear as:
Text 1 to me
Text 2 to me
Text 3 to me
Text 1 from me
Text 2 from me
Text 3 from me
I would like this showing as:
Text 1 from me
Text 1 to me
Text 2 from me
Text 2 to me
Text 3 from me
Text 3 to me
Does that make sense and is this possible?
Thanks

Strange, in my sms app it shows up just as you would want.. and i didn't change any of the settings
Are you sure that your time settings are right? Because the ordening of the smses happens by the timestamp of a given sms, and it relays on the time of the phone that sends the sms. So if your friends phone sends an sms at, lets say, 9h, but its in fact 10h at your phone, your phone will still classify the sms "receved at nine o clock". In the sms app it will be classified just like that, so in this way it is not unlikely to think that all your smses (or those of your friend) will be clustered tougether because of a systematic time stamp mistake in one of the phones.
Hmm, not sure I'm making myself very clear but, just check your time settings ;-)
ErwinP
Thanks guys for your helpful suggestions.
Erwin P: I think it is the time stamp problem. luckily after some research and some help from a friend I was able to get a hold of a program call sms time fix. it seems to have solve some of the problems for now; atlease my phone is recieving messages like the way that i want them to, although it is still sending it somewhat delayed here and there.
I was wondering though...is this the problem of the phone, or the problem with my service provider?
Airveiw seems to work pretty good and I find myself using it a lot for email and now text messaging. Problem is it doesn't work on all of my contacts in messaging. On the main messaging screen where it list messages from different contacts it will "airview" the most recent text for MOST but not for everyone...just wondering if anyone knows why this would be and if there is a way to make it work for everyone.
Thanks
I have the same problem... I've restored the sms from sms backup... Could it be?
And if you send or receive another sms the Air view begins to work... Weird...
Having the same issue here...doesn't work on email at all, works on random contacts as I go down the list, as with text messages. Nothing has been restored to mine, it's all "new".
I think it only activates when all of the text is not visible. For example if you browse contacts I noticed it worked only for those contacts whose names were too long to see them entirely and the same thing is with the messages.

I noticed the same thing, but going through contacts, it would activate on some that were fully visible.

I never got a chance to play around with S4. So i am assuming Air view displays the text message and photo pictures without even touching the screen. It is just to keep your finger in the air and wait for it to pop-out. Am i correct ?

Pretty much. You go to your list of people you received text from, hover your finger over a particular contact you received a message from, and it will pop up a Window with the last message received from that person. Kind of the same thing in your contacts list, if the full name is not displayed, it will 0 up the full name.
