Hello All,
My SMS is set for a prefered SIM for messages which I do not want and when I change it to my second SIM it changes back to the prefered SIM instantaneously.
I would like to have the choice of which SIM I want to use for each SMS I want to send.
This function worked prior to rooting and returning to stock. Something got lost/corrupted when I returned to stock
My phone is locked and do not want to root it.
I saw a command for HTC that can be run with ADB but I do not have Grant access to send the command to my phone.
Is this the correct command for a OP 8T OOS13?
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms null
If so how can I send it to my phone?
Or does anyone have another way to allow me to use either SIM 1 or SIM 2 when sending messages?
Thank you
Specb405
What SMS app do you use? There are a few in the Play Store that should handle dual SIM well.
Thank you for your reply Genesis.
I am using Google Messages and the function used to work before I rooted my phone and reverted back to stock.
As you can see from the screenshot attached, it allows me to change from work to home but will always revert back to work automatically so I can no longer send sms/mms from home.
It would seem that something is missing in the code to allow the change to stay on Sim 2 (home) when selected.
Again this function worked even after rooting, but when I returned back to stock using MSM and the correct OOS for NA (Global) is when it stopped.
When I returned to stock and went through the steps to set up my phone, it asked for prefered SMS Sim but nowhere do I find a button to allow me to change that with disabling mobile data for a specific Sim and re-enabling it.
When doing that it willl allow me to send from home but wont allow me to send from Work.
Hope this helps clarify the situation.
Thank you
FWIW,
I figured out the problem with Google Messages no longer allowing to switch sim cards to send messages from one sim or the other.
If you had to restore your phone to factory settings or locked / bricked your phone and restored it with MSM tool and had backed up all text messages with any tool available, messages does not like that.
Messages will allow to use either Sim for texting if you do not restore your old messages after any phone restore.
If you restore your old messages, then some software bug in Google messages no longer allows you to use both sims for texting.
Quite a frustrating time to figure that out.
I liked Google Messages but due to this issue I switched to Textra and all is working fine.
Hope that helps some of you.
Cheers!

Hi,
Hopefully one of you guys may be able to help.
I've just upgraded to a HD2 from my old Diamond. It seems ever since I've had this handset (3days now) there's a status icon always showing that I have a voicemail but when I check I have none and neither do I have any messages in the 'voicemail inbox'.
Tmobile have re-created the voicemail box which cured it for a few hours only for it to come back!!!
Tmobile are suggesting that my SIM card is too old and needs replacing. Before I go and do that has anybody here had a similar problem and maybe found a solution?
Cheers.
hiya,
did you get this sorted? im having the same issue
Voicemail stuck
It seems (I think) that if I leave myself a message and then go into voicemail, clear it but stay on the line until the voicemail icon disappears then its cleared but only till the next time I reset the phone and then its back! Best I've got so far...and haven't got the SIM replaced yet but I think that seems doubtful anyway!!
It seems it may be a 'feature' of the ROM I have (1.43) but I'm a little loathed to update the ROM as its tied to Tmobile. What ROM are you?
Cheers,
John
I have exactly the same issue with an Unlocked Toshiba TG01 (originally on Orange) running Windows Mobile 6.5, on T-Mobile UK.
It's rather annoying
Give your service provider ( t-mobile, orange, o2 ect) a call and there can reset your voice mail box.
There will leave you a message and then you hear it and delete it and restart the device and the icon disappears
Hope that works
I have this problem now - I had a voicemail from my old provider and didn't pick it up.
Now got a new provider and the voicemail icon is stuck. I can't get a reset though as my current provider doesn't even offer voicemail!!
Any ideas?
Same Issue
I've got an AT&T HTC Pure and I use YouMail.com.
I have no saved messages, no current messages. I've tried adding a message and deleting it and stil the phone says I have 1 new voicemail.
I have even hard-reset the device and no change. Oh, yeah, I also tried changing the voicemail info. back top AT&T. Still says 1.
Very frustrating.
I have a different problem.
Whenever I get a voicemail I cannot access it by calling my number.
Help please.
Hello
Who is you network service provider
THanks
Try this:
For the longest time my HTC Touch Pro has told me I've got a voicemail, but it's wrong. I don't. It somehow got out of sync. The phone has a way to reset the voicemail indicator, but it's buried pretty well. How to reset the voicemail indicator of your Windows Mobile 6.1 device:
1. Hit the "Phone" button like you would to place a call.
2. Instead of dialing the number, tap "Menu".
3. Tap "Options".
4. Navigate to the "Services" tab.
5. Choose "Voicemail" from the list box.
6. Click "Get Settings..."
7. Hit the "Clear" button.
8. Press "ok" to close the window.
Your main screen should reflect this action immediately, and should not indicate that you have a voicemail!

Hello,
Thank you for the instructions, however, my HTC 8925/WM6.1 does not seem to have any sort of "Clear" button, it just shows two textboxes, one with the SMSC number and the other with my VMB number.. The only options are to change/clear those text fields or click the "OK" box..
If anyone else has had the same issue, here are some workarounds:
Registry:
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\HiddenDeleteVM = 0
(DWORD, enables the "clear" button if it's not visible)
You can also go in and manually set the count:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread\Count = 0
(DWORD, set it to 0 to clear the VM indicator once and for all)
Hope this helps!
^_^

I had this same problem for a long time. I solved it by taking my SIM card out of my HD2 and putting it in another TMOUS phone. I found that I evidently had stored a voicemail on my SIM card, so I erased it. I had also been getting the infamous "129" text message that popped up on an almost daily basis. So, while I had my SIM card in the non-HD2 phone, I also looked for text messages, found one, and erased it. I then called TMOUS customer service, and they took me through a procedure they have for eliminating the "phantom" new voicemail messages. After my procedure and their procedure, problem solved! I no longer get New Voicemail prompts when none in fact exist, and I no longer get the "129" text messages.

I didn't think so either, but I gave it a try. I think the problem for me MAY have originated from my initial use of Visual Voicemail. I had no problem with either the "phantom" New Voicemail alert or the 129 text message when I initially started using my HD2. These problems arose for me after activating Visual Voicemail. Maybe it's that application which initially stored the vmail on the SIM (leading to a continuing New Voicemail alert when I thought I'd erased or saved all incoming voicemails), and the text message was the (Visual Voicemail) system's way of trying to let me know that I still had a voicemail message on the SIM??? Whatever may be the case, the method that I described in my post has worked fine for me. No more new vmail alerts when none in fact exist, and no more 129 text messages
I put Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 last week, and I swear while I was setting it all up there was an option to show or not show SIM messages when looking in Messaging.
However now I am using the phone regularly I can't find it any more! Every time I reboot the phone, the SIM messages are loaded higher up the list than my actual text messages which is really frustrating because it makes it hard to see my current conversations.
Does anyone know where the setting to stop it showing SIM messages is?
Thanks!

Try deleting one of them, and if it is not deleted from the sim, the check box might appear again on next reboot. Else delete what you don't need
Interesting that you can import messages from sim but not save to sim, how many messages are there?
i think what you've seen whilst setting up the phone was the message "import sim contacts now" and not sim sms... there's no setting about that in wp7 afaik
I think there are about 20 or so SIM messages. I deleted one and it went away, but didn't give me any more options to delete any others and the rest of the SIM messages are still there.
Obviously I could just delete them all but I find it annoying there is not the option to just hide them from the messaging view or something.

So do I... did you solve it anyway?
I have just bought a brand new (unlocked) Dell Venue Pro. It had Windows phone 7.5 pre installed and I have installed all the updates. After I finished setting up my account and settings, checked the marketplace... I tryed to send an SMS - and got a nasty suprise. The phone won't send any SMS messages to anyone. It receives them OK, it can make calls, use data connection and everything but it won't send a damn SMS. When I go to the messaging settings, the messaging center number isn't there. When I enter it and tap save, the field just goes blank again. I have tryed rebooting the phone and reseting it from the about menu but it still won't send an SMS.
So I tryed a different SIM card (the same provider) and here the message center number was entered and the SMS was sen't successfully. So why won't it work with my SIM card?
Settings - > cellular -> edit apn
Set your apn info from your provider.
Also next time search the forums first. There are already a few threads about this
I think that you need to read my question again. NOT MMS! I have trouble sending SMS messages. And those don't need the APN - which is set and the mobile internet is working.
I've seen SMS get screwed up when the MMS settings arent set. The only other possibility is that you need some AT commands sent from your phone.
I have just tried the logical step - I sen't an MMS. The MMS was sent without any problems and was delivered to the other phone. But the damn thing still won't send a bloody SMS.
Call your provider up and have them activate sms on your sim card.
I don't see any reason why they should be deactivated. If I stick my SIM card into my old Motorola Milestone I can normalny send SMS messages.
Well I fixed it. It took a little bit of magic but it is working now.
I took the SIM card out and inserted it into a cheap samsung dumbphone and changed the SMS centre number to an incorrect one (if I entered the correct number it didn't show up), then I inserted it back into the Dell and the incorrect number was shown in the settings. So I changed it into a correct one and this time it remembered the number. So everything is working now.
I have same issue
I tried the SIM trick, I did manage to change the number in a dumbphone, but I still could not read or change the message center number in the DVP. I just did the latest update through zune yesterday, but that had no positive effect.
Any other suggestions? Maybe a hard reset?
Noticed nobody has asked this yet.
I've done a bit of searching and there seems to be a clunky way to do this involving an old SIM card (so Whatsapp doesn't throw a hissy fit when it has two clients connected to the same phone number) and using TitaniumBackup after rooting the device.
Is there any way to do it without rooting our Nexus 7s? As an owner of a Galaxy S2 with CM9 I have no issues rooting my device, I just wondered if there was a way to do it without?
Thanks for any help people!
Bump, also very interested!
That would be a me too...

Its in german I know but google will translate I guess. It is for another tablet but it works.
I had to kweak the process a little bit because WhatsApp wouldn't let me use the CALL option.
I had the confirmation code send as a text message to the phone number (to another phone).
Now it works like charm! :highfive:
I am really HAPPY with my Nexus 7 now! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I actived it by another phone. Just find any phone got text n call function. I entered number of that phone to whatsapp on nexus 7, then take code from that phone n input it to nexus 7. It work for me.
It work with Viber n LINE too.

Required apps -
1. Whatsapp apk (must be the absolute latest from the play store - to download the apk from the play store, see http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/
[UPDATE: Step 1 - NOW, may not work and you will have to source for the apk...just request in this thread, someone will most likely put one up or there are other "locations" to consider!]
2. Appguard apk (see http://www.backes-srt.de/produkte/srt-appguard/)
Install whatsapp.apk
Install appguard.apk
Start up open/run appguard.
Select "Secure a new app"
Select "Whatsapp"
Appguard will take you through 3-steps
scan and secure application
Uninstall existing application
Install secured application
Once the process is completed, within Appguard, you'll need to change Whatsapp Permissions by removing the setting for "Phone calls - read phone status and identity"
Setting up Whatsapp
You must have gotten a 3-digit verification code from whatsapp. I got this by using a mobile phone, setting my landline as the number and got Whatsapp to call me with the 3-digit verification code.
With verification code and the phone number (my landline) ready -
Now open/run Whatsapp.
Enter the phone number (used to get the 3-digit verification code).
Select the three-dots tab to enter the code.
Enter 3-digit code.
Whah-lah! whatsapp on Nexus 7.
Additional info.
1. With my mobile phone (with a working whatsapp installation), I made a backup of the whatsapp application and data (data backup is really all that is required). From settings clear whatsapp data. Started whatsapp to register with my landline for the 3-digit verification code. Once I got the voice message, I reinstalled my mobile phone whatsapp data to reinstate my daily whatsapp installation.
2. When registering with the "new number", whatsapp will attempt to "text" the number. It'll time out and offer the option for you to be "called". You'll need to wait 1 minute to activate the request for whatsapp to call with the code.
3. With Appguard, I believe, you can install appguard then install whatsapp. Appguard will then detect the "new" application installation (whatsapp) and offer the option to set the permissions for newly detect application installations.
4. After everything is working, I'd gone on to remove Appguard and test sending and receiving with whatsapp. Whatsapp still works (I uninstalled application did not clear appguard data).
5. Not tested - Hope this is persistent after restarting the Nexus 7.

I'm assuming you want two differently whatsapp identity.
You can use your current sim but will need a different number with which whatsapp can text or call you with a 3-digit verification code (I used my landline number).
You should make a backup of the whatsapp data (I used mybackup). Then in Settings, clear whatsapp data on your HTC Desire. Open whatsapp and you'll go through the process to register a phone number (don't use your HTC phone number...use a landline number or use another sim) and have it text or call you with the 3-digit verification code.
When you've got the 3-digit verification code, you can restore your whatsapp data and you'd now have restored your HTC Desire's whatsapp data linked to your HTC Desire simcard.
Next is the Nexus 7 installation process - follow my detailed process posted to this discussion.
I had some trouble too
First of all ... Thx ultrawires for the work/help! :good:
Everything regarding the installation and preparation steps is described perfectly.
I had the same issue with Whatsapp like some others described it here. When I did hit the CALL button (after the verification via text didn't work) I got an pop up telling that I had to many times tried to get an activation code and so I can not use the voice verification and I should contact support via email ... bla bla bla
It took me a while to figure out a workaround.
What I did...
I signed up for a n online phone number (one that you can receive txt messages with!).
I had this online phone number homepage open on my laptop in front of me.
I have an old, no longer used, android phone (with a german :silly: prepaid card in it and connected to my home Wifi).
I uninstalled whatsapp (clearing data) and reinstalled Whatsapp.
I started the setup of Whatsapp on the old phone using my online phone number up to the point when you send the data the first time....
Next to me I had my Nexus 7 (prepared like described by ultrawires).
I started the setup of whatsapp on the nexus using the same voice phone number up to the point when you send the data the first time....
FIRST I started the verification process on my old phone....
THEN I received the text message with the verification code on my online phone homepage...
THEN I started the verification process on my nexus... it failed (of course)
THEN I used the three-dots tab (right bottom - took me hours to find it!!!) to enter the code.
and WhatsApp is working perfectly WITHOUT ROOTING the Nexus 7!
If you don't have an old phone I guess you can do it like ultrawires described in his Additional info. 1. by making a backup of whatsapp on your actual phone, ... do the process ... and re-install the original version.
It might even work with the CALL option on a regular working phone without having all this online phone number thing.
to sum it up:
- you need a phone to do a new WhatsApp installation on it
- you have to use a different phone number, on which you can receive calls or text messages
- prepare, install and setup Whatsapp on your tablet (nexus 7) using the code you received via phone call or text message
Hope this helps!
I haven't uninstalled AppGuard yet.
@ultrawires
Did you restore all the permissins for Whatsapp before you uninstalled AppGuard?
I know it is a little bit confusing...
But you can be sure it works ... somehow...
... and for me this makes my nexus 7 really PERFECT!
ENJOY!
I have a small question expect people to respond. Applications installed on the android phone will run in full-screen mode so install them on the Android tablet specific here is Nexus 7, the application can run in full-screen mode?
My phone is an H910 running Oreo (stock; never rooted). I have used the stock Messaging app for SMS/MMS.
I am trying to backup all SMS/MMS and move to a different device so that I can delete them on my H910 to save space. There are about 1,200 messages to move. Ideally, I would like to be able to save all sent/received messages and open them in a messaging app on a different non-LG device. (I would like to open them via a messaging app installed to BlueStacks. My preference would be to save them to my email; I previously used SMS Backup+ with great success, but that has not worked for years now it seems, so I am not counting on a solution like that.)
The problem I am running into is that I cannot seem to save my sent messages. In other words, I can see all of my received messages when viewing them on the new device, but none of the messages I have sent.
I have tried switching to new messaging apps such as Google Messages and Textra on the H910. However, this only shows my received messages (no sent messages).
I have also tried using a backup/restore app such as SMS Backup & Restore, but my sent messages are not backed up that way, either. (I have used a number of different methods to view the file with the backed up messages. The only messages shown are received messages.)
Does anyone have any recommendation for how to solve this? Why can't I backup/save my sent messages?

SMS Backup & Restore works for me on Android 8 (US996).
A search came up with this:

where RCS messages are the problem, are you using RCS?

Thank you for your response.
Yes, that appears to be the problem. The H910 is AT&T-branded, and I am using it on AT&T. It automatically comes with "advanced messaging" (aka RCS) enabled. So, that is the problem... that is why SMS Backup & Restore will not work. (It looks like SMS Backup & Restore might work with RCS if I had been using Google Messages from the start. Unfortunately, that was not the case.)
I am now wondering if I can get another V20/other capable device with a better messaging app installed prior to the process and then use AT&T's Mobile Transfer to move everything over and back. I may pursue this.
If anyone has a better method of backing up SMS/MMS/RCS messages, please let me know. Otherwise, I guess the moral of the story is to always use a third-party messaging app that allows for backup of RCS or stores the messages via cloud/alternative means that you can actually access.
This might be a solution:

Thank you. I actually was attempting to use that last night. It seems that using this allows you to backup all messages (SMS/MMS/RCS) to AT&T's cloud, but you can then only access them via AT&T's messaging app. There does not appear to be a way to export them from that app to a different device. So, it is great if you just want to view the messages on a different device... but not so great if you actually want to move the messages from one device to another.
