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

No on manipulator!
Thanks Qman
Cold boot restored full functionality of my sms service and phone is still nicely unlocked.
Cheers

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

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

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

DOWNLOADED SOME APPS AND NOW IVE GOT NO SMS ACCOUNT ANY IDEAS IVE GOT FLASHDASH,INTELLIPAD+DIALER,AIRMAGNET,DAVA2003 PIC VIEWER,ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PROB
did you just upgrade to 2003se ?
if you did, your sms change to messaging. (accounts - text message)
mate,
what do mean by "gone"? the messages are all gone or you canna send sms messages? if it's the lattter; this may have happened if you made a hard reset or upgraded the rom. you might want to try resending the sms profile to your network. try:
settings>phone>services>click on voice mail and sms>press "get settings">wait for a few seconds>enter your sms service center (this is normally your phone number but add the country code)>enter your voice mail number/carrier> press ok to load> press ok to exit
hope that helps
cheers
Yup,
Had hard resetting issues with mine, and sometimes, after a hard reset, it wouldn't come back. I figured it happened when either simm was not in, or I stopped some of the automatic file from reloading after the hard reset. Basically, back it up, then hard reset it w/ Simm and it will come back.
I love the ROM on my Touch Dual. Thanks for the great work. Only problem I have is that I am unable to receive any SMS. I can send SMS fine (and people do receive them) but when they send me SMS I get nothing. Could someone please help how to fix this?
(I am on T-Mobile USA)
are you sure you are not receiving them under the original message, this rom uses threaded sms by default, meaning they dont appear in your inbox as they would normally
Yes - I am positive. All I have are SMS threads that have only my messages. Not a single one of them have any of the responses.
For Tmobile are there any settings I need to keep in mind?
There is a setting under "SMS Service" which says:
SMS Over:
What does this need to be set to? (GSM/GPRS?)
Also what number does the "Text Messages Service Center" need to be set to (under Phone settings)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just upgraded the ROM on my HD2 to WWE_3.14.405.2. I am now receiving SMS delivery messages on every SMS sent. Tried to switch this off in the phone settings and by changing the settings in the registry but neither worked.
Anyone else get this problem with the latest ROM and more importantly, have you managed to switch off the SMS delivery reports? Any help with this would be appreciated.
PS If it helps, I'm with Virginmobile in the UK.
Hello,
Same problem here. No way to disable sms delivery report after updating...
Any suggestions? Anyone?
Thank you
see here guys http://www.htchd2forum.com/general-htc-hd2-discussion/those-damn-delivery-reports/
the cab file posted does fix the annoying notification but i suffered side affects. give the post a read and try it. can always unistall the cab file if you get the same problems as i did. hope that helps
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i am having a really irritating SMs problem with.
My dad lives in Cyprus, when he sends me an SMS i can not reply, when i try it just says 'sending' then 'failed' . In order to get the text SMS to send to him i have to delete the message thread, then start a new message and it will send. Now if he then replies, i will need to delete the message thread again in order to be able to send him a new message.
I do not have this issue with any other contacts that i am aware. The only difference with my dad is that he lives abroad in Cyprus, and all my other contacts are here in the UK. Has anyone else had this issue? Know what causes it? I have deleted and recreated the contact but still the same.
Many thanks.
Do you have your dad's number stored in contacts with country code or not ? I was on the verge of smashing my phone when i was abroad, trying to call persons in my native country and i couldn't because i didn't have numbers stored with country code. Maybe that's your issue too
I think the problem is related to what SMS server your dad is using, I had same issue with my X-girls phone, no one could direct reply to SMS...
Hi, thanks for the replies.
Sp1tfire, i have changed the number configuration around several times, all with no success.
Fritz, this sounds plausible, however this would surely affect other phones replying? I don't have this issue when using my iphone 4 so it only happens from the Galaxy2 at the minute. I will try and use a colleagues Android phone to text him and test it.
Somehow you, or TSP (Telephone Service provider), have inserted a sms mail server address that is not valid.
here in my country, there has been scams, "cheaper SMS, enter this server setting" and stuff like that, so there is a setting on you phone that is wrong.

Can't be cause of settings, if he can actually send new sms to that number, but he can't reply from the received sms. His settings are correct as long as he can send sms. Must be something else. Are you using default sms app or a third party software ?

I am using the stock SMS app. I have just wiped the phone and installed the KF2 firmware. Going to see if that helps.
Sp1tfire, thats right, i can only reply to him when i delete the existing thread. I can however send new SMS to him no problem, so long as the thread is deleted before hand. Very frustrating as i lose the history every time.
Update, exactly the same on KF2 Firmware.
Ok, so i tried with a friends HTC desire and he has the same issue. also found my brother who has an iphone 3gs is unable to reply to my Dads number. So at least know its no longer just my phone and that it must be something the other end. Many thanks for the help.
Same problem here
When I reply to my girl it says: failed, when i delete the whole thread it goes.
It's only when I text her, all the other contact go fine
On my old sgs I had it to, but only on stock, when I was on CM7 it was OK.
Cant imagine that its something with the other phone i'm sending it to though

I remember in all the previous phones I've had, there's been a setting in the SMSC Settings allowing the user to specify whether or not to "Reply using the same SMSC" (or something along those lines).
If the option is ticked, the phone attempts to reply to the message through the SMSC that the text originally came from (rather than the one set in your handset).
The cause of the error may be because the SMSC overseas does not recognise your phone/SIM and therefore won't allow the replying message to go through.
And perhaps this may explain why deleting the whole thread and restarting a brand new message works - that is, the new message will go through the SMSC that is set in your phone for your own network.
Although, I've had a look through the settings in my SGS2 and can't seem to find that setting anywhere... (doesnt mean it's not there - it could just be that I don't know my phone well enough because I've only had it for a few days ).
I think your dad's SMS configuration settings is forcing you (or any other person he is sending an SMS to) to reply through his operators message centre
Ask him to check his sms settings and disable any such message centre settings from his side. This should solve the problem.
