Hi
I have written in numerous postings now and still has no idea how to work the sms. I am connected to Vodaphone and has received a couple of sms messages with no problem in my inbox. I have checked the network settings and it showed a call centre number which looks ok and certaintly I have received messages indicating that it is ok. However when I tried to send a sms, I could not even compose a SMS message. In the "New" command on the today screen, there is no sms message to select though I have the option of E-mail message there. I tap on a contact and "Send SMS" and there is just no response at all. Wonder if some kind soul could give me a detailed step by step way of sending sms thru the O2 XDA which I got but connected to Vodaphone?
Cheers
Vic
Hi
Sorry if you have already tried this.
Just go to new email. then press the the down arrows on the upper right of the screen by the subject box and change the service to SMS
then it will attempt to send sms's instead of emails.
HI
Thanks for reply. I tried tapping on "New" then "Email Message" and it goes straight to Inbox with my 2 sms messages that I had received displayed there. I tapped on the upper right hand down arrow and it showed "Sort by" with 2 options- From "Received date" or "Subject" and no option for SMS. Is this correct ?
Anyway- how does one compose and send email messages?
Cheers
Vic
Click on Inbox, then in the Upper LEFT of the screen you have the option to select ActiveSync (basically e-mail) or SMS. Select the Inbox section of the SMS part. You will then be able to select New from the bottom Left of the screen which will allow you to compaose an SMS. Remeber to click 'Send' and not OK to to send it! :idea:
Hi Matt,
Thanks for reply.
Got as far as the inbox option of SMS; it showed the 2 sms messages which I had received so far and when I click on "New" as instructed, nothing comes out of it.
sms
try pressing the green telephone handset button. press tools, press sms, enter number at the top, enter text, then send, if you click on tools, then choose options you can click for delivery reports.
Thanks for reply.
Pressing "Send SMS" at the phone menu give no response at all.
I seem to think that there must be an activating step for using sms; I have checked the call centre number and all that and everything is fine. Somehow I just could not compose an sms message. Not sure if I should hard boot the whole damn thing to return to factory defaults to see if it reactivates the sms mechanism. One question is will hard booting relock my XDA which I have already unlocked with the XDA manipulator?
Cheers

Hi all,
Just an update to the problem I had no more- a cold boot restored the full functions of the sms service and I still do not know which files were missing or corrupted.
Thanks for all help with answers anyway.
Cheers

Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me. I got the xda with its original rom ie 3.16 and radio stack 4.20 and up till now I just can't even compose a sms message let alone sending it. I have the call centre number correct with the settings and I am connected to vodaphone and has received sms messages ok so far which means I am connected alright with the message centre. It must be some software problem that make it unable for me to compose and send sms messages. I have tried tapping on "New" which has no SMS option there but only Email option and I have tried tapping on a contact name and then "Send SMS" but no response. Under Inbox, I tapped on SMS under Services and then "New" and no response again. Just couldn't compose a sms message. :?
Any other ideas please ?
Man if you only knew!
I've been working on the same problem all day and I mean all day. The only thing that fixed it for me was a hard reset followed by a complete re-install of all my programs. As best as I can figure some were down the line my registry got corrupt.
Hi Qman,
Thanks for reply. I thot I may have to do that as well. One question though- I had my xda unlocked using xda manipulator, will I need to do that again when I hard reset my xda?
Cheers
Vic
No on manipulator!
Thanks Qman
Cold boot restored full functionality of my sms service and phone is still nicely unlocked.
Cheers

I have a Qtek 2020 with WM2003SE 2.20.07.
When I send one SMS, to someone with a "normal" mobile phone, the person that recieves the SMS can't read it because alway gets one error saying "Unknown Format".
What is is problem?
Can it be fixed?
How?
Thanks
Try going to inbox, choose sms as your account, click tools then options...click accounts then click sms in the large box, you will see the service centre number, below that it says "send sms using unicode...try unchecking this.
How do I see from which number a Text Message (SMS) was send?
Here is the problem: A friend of mine wend abroad and is using a different mobile phone number. I saved the new number in the contact file under "Home2 phone". Now, if I recieve a text message I actually dont see were it came from, do I?
(Even after clicking on the Message it opens the contact but shows the mobile phone number, not the one it was send from.)
Thanks for anwser
When receiving the message, all you can see is the name of the sender.
When you click on the contact, it shows you only the mobile phone number because, theoretically you can receive sms messages only from mobile phone numbers. A stationary phone number cannot be used to send sms
Torque77: Wrong. You CAN either send and receive SMS from fixed lines in most EU countries. And Rose can handle it without any problems.
Gipo: Just hit Enter when the received message is selected. Contact card will open with proper sender's phone number highlighted. BTW in threaded messages is enough if you just simply hit "Reply" - it will be sent automatically to correct number. (In fact, every number - even different number of the same contact - creates a new thread).
EDIT: OOPS, you're right. It just shows the card without highlighting the number (having a look I saw a last call, not the message). Then only way is direct reply in the thread then. Nevertheless, it's simple and reliable.

Sorry then. Guess Moldova is waaaay behind and this chapter.
No problem... Just an reminder. Nevertheless, you can't be sure, if it is a phone able to receive it (again - some operators forwards SMS as a voice message then).
At least at the moment you already know, that Rose can send SMS on ANY phone number stored with contact - if you have somebody e.g. with more mobile phones.
Yes, if you just choose a contact in the list and select "SMS" by right-left arrows, the mobile number is used. But if you hit Enter in Addresse field in empty SMS form, select an user, Rose will show you all available phone numbers for the contact and is able to send the message at any of them.
thanks guys
Hi guys, It's possible to know the times of the message has been sent?
when i turn on my x10, it only shows the times of the messages are being received. It does matter to me when the message is being sent.
for example: if someone send a message for an emergency at 1pm, and fews hours later, you turn your phone on and see the times of the message being received on your x10 which is quiet late for an emergency.
On my N97. It does have this feature which is very useful to me.
Just long press on the message and you should get a pop up with View Message Details and it gives you the time.
On the Handcent SMS app which I prefer to the stock app, it gives you a time just above the speech bubble containng the message on the thread.

thanks for your input, but i dont think you understand my question.
This also annoys me. Every phone I have ever had has been able to show me the time the message was sent, not just received. But even when long pressing and then selecting 'Message Details', it still only shows the time it was received, annoying!
still no one can answer this?? that's suck
In the "Send Settings", should I enable "Split large messages" since I have a CDMA EVO on Sprint?
Also in the "Send Settings" can someone explain the "Send as split conversations" setting?
In the "MMS Settings", what should I do with "Fill User Agent manually? If I just leave it as default, does that mean I can't receive/send MMS from/to iPhone users?

You can enable that. However, Sprint's network is automatically setup to split messages over 160 characters.

Split conversations will split your texts based on the person, rather than just showing all the texts you sent/received in one big timeline.

You shouldn't have to change that unless you are noticing problems. Most networks will automatically format MMS's so that the phone it's going to will receive it properly.

So instead of my whole conversation with one a person being in one thread, it'll be split up into separate texts?

hey there! hoping you can add some input to my quest for solving my problem.
problem is this:
i get a new message, turn the screen on, read the pop up, reply. the tesla unread app recognizes that i've seen the message and the unread message count goes away, yet the green LED keeps blinking as if i haven't seen anything. to stop the LED from notifying me about the message i just replied to, i swipe down the notifications tab and swipe it back up. then the LED stops blinking. very strange to me.
any thoughts
FIXED. settings needed to be changed on my phone.. not go sms app.
