Hmmm... are you sure this is the right forum to ask this?
i am using WM6....and the messages on the SIM card never appeared in WM5...so i think this is the forum i should be asking the question on? the ROM is PDAVIET 4.0.0.3 if that helps as well
Not sure if this is the right forum to ask too but I am also facing similar issues and haven't been able to find anything relevant despite trawling the forums here and elsewhere.
Here's specifically what I am experiencing:
- SMS that are saved in my SIM are getting loaded (and reloaded with each soft reset or power off/on)
- these SMS are loaded with a current timestamp (i.e. they are always current) hence often new incoming SMS are getting pushed back on the list
- this is getting really irritating as I always have to scroll back to see the latest SMS
I don't remember seeing this on WM5 and in fact I thought I remembered that there was no easy built-in method to load SMS that are saved on the SIM.
Short of deleting those SMS (which I would really like to keep on the SIM), I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know if there's a way to stop those SMS from getting loaded from the SIM.
Am currently using WM6 on HTC Hermes (Dopod 838 Pro).

Hi. I am asking this question for my partner who has an iMate Smartflip and she always roasts me for not sending here texts when I know I have. (I have a TyTnII with delivery noti on).
It appears she sends an SMS to me and I answer immediately, her Smartfilp does not pick it up but if she receives one 'out of the blue' it's OK. This is also very hit and miss in the way it fails.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. Checked the Forum and can't seem to see anything.
Cheers.
BTW, tried the obvious and put the SIM card in a different phone and it works fine....
Doesn't she use any data connection (GPRS)? The SMS should be delivered even when are connected but I have experienced delays of messages (I recieved SMS's few hours after the sending even my phone was turned on).
No GPRS in use as it's a PAYG SIM. Just the standard service center number.
It's really strange, the messages are not delayed, just don't appear on the phone even if I send them and get back a delivery notification as if its getting certain data it can't handle.
It's probably been fixed in a HTC firmware update but you know how iMate are slow to follow...
You can install any firmware you want to. If it's not a problem for you/her I hope update (which wipe out all user data as well) helps you. The newest firmware from Cingular would be probably the best one. (I dont have phone from Cingular but Im using their fw so it must be the same with iMate)
I have a huge problem sending text messages.
After typing a messages and trying to send the message it sometimes takes about 30 min. before it is gone. The same problem is with receiving if someone types a message to me and sends it away it sometime takes up to 2h. before i'm receiving.
I already tried serveral radios, changing settings in phone under Services but nothing worked.
Other people with the same Mobile provider don't experience this problem...
Anybody know a solution for this?
Thanks in advanced
I recall reading some posts from other members with similar issues on different carrier networks.
One member ended up contacting the carrier to have them reset his profile.
Another member had to contact the carrier and have them send a new SIM card.
HTH,
i had a problem where I couldn't send or receive them at all.... it occured after I reverted the phone back to stock for warranty... i loaded the latest fuze update, then reverted the spl to 1.90.... wouldnt do sms.... i fixed it by loading the update again, letting it override the spl 1.90 for the newer one 5.10, or whatever it said, i can't remember....
doubt anything i just said has any relevance to ur issue, disregard it all if it doesnt....
Thnx for helping I tried an other sim from an other provider and no problems at all. After searching the forum for a bit I red a lot about changing the sim because it is too old... (1/2 year )
Hi guys
It has happened twice now that my phone has started receiving an MMS prior to every SMS that comes in. The MMS is empty and it comes from "unknown".
The first time a couple of weeks ago, I was on the phone for 14 hours to fix it; re-installed everything on it including flashing SBF's and starting clean. Nothing helped. After a day the issue magically took care of itself.
Now it started again, 4-5 days ago. I have installed everything fresh (SBF to 1.2.6, 1.5.7 OTA & 1.8.3 OTA), did a factory reset & formated both internal & external storage space; issue still there on an absolutely stock phone. Called the helpdesk of my provider as well, they've never heard of the issue before.
On a desperate attempt to fix it I accidentally removed the messaging apk, took a good while to find one again..
Does anyone have any other ideas I can try? Please, it's driving me mad..

Thanks for your help. I found it easier to start a less congested thread with all the background summarized. Hope I didn't crush the internet by doing so..
Are you using Handcent or Chomp? Is whatever you are using your "default" message app? I was getting duplicate MMS messages until I went into my actual contact list, selected a contact, then tried to send a message to them, it then prompted me to select my message app. I am using Handcent, so I selected Handcent and put a check mark in use as default. I no longer have the problem. Hope this helps...

Thanks for your reply, I am using Chomp sms and it is the default messaging app. It's not that though, I am receiving an empty MMS 5-10 seconds before every SMS I receive. It was the first thing I tried when I returned to stock as I describe above, issue was there. Immensely frustrating..
Bumping this up, need urgently advise as I'm about to throw the damn thing out the window..
Just spoke with the o2 helpdesk, there's nothing they can see /. They have now shut off my data connection, I have disabled all data and I am still getting that fckng MMS!!!
Update: Solved. Got a new SIM. Or that I asked them to freeze my data connection & the new SIM kick-started it again & removed the issue. Goes to show again the incompetence of (many) helpdesk agents; they insisted it was phone related..

Is the messaging centre no. correct? it may be just something that needs to be resolved via your network, so prob best to ring your network and see if they have any solutions before concluding that it may be something to do with the phone? Hope it helps!!
I have same problem but I can't receive sms after update on 2.3.6. I tried with another radios, hard reset, another sim card but problem still exists...
and can't enter in info menu (*#*#4636#*#*)

Here's a discussion on the SMS issue on the official Motorola forums and it seems that many of us seem to be facing and most of the time it seems to be caused by updating your phone's firmware while with your sim card still inside of your phone, and this seems to cmpletely disrupt
The way that your phone communicates with your sim card, resulting to delays in smses, I've just got a new sim card today and it does seem to solve the issue of retrieval and sending delays but I'd save my quick conclusion for a more thorough speculation Hope this helped!

@all of you facing this sms problem
here is a workaround to get rid of the issue till motorola comes up with a convincing and permanent solution.
Step 1. remove sim from the handset (if u dont have the sms problem). it does not matter whether the sim is inside the phone or not if you are already facing sms problem as you will have to get a new sim after the update (the issue would persist with any update till you get a new sim)
Step 2. update to latest version
Step 3. perform a hard reset if updating from GB to ICS. if you are updating to battery performance bug fix on ICS (like the one from .324 to .328 AsiaRetail) only clearing the cache should suffice.
Step 4. reinsert the sim (if you never had sms problem before update). GET A NEW SIM (IF YOU HAD SMS PROBLEM BEFORE THE UPDATE)
FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY UPDATED AND FACING THE ISSUE, PLEASE GET A NEW SIM AND IN FUTURE DONOT UPDATE OR RESET WITH THE SIM INSIDE THE PHONE.
PLEASE REMEMBER, THIS FIX IS NOT PERMANENT. MOTOROLA IS YET TO COME UP WITH A PERMANENT FIX SO THAT WE NEED NOT WORRY ABOUT OUR SIM.

Will that solve the problem? Anyone tried this?
I'm using MIUI, I can install the same version to try to fix the problem, right?
Helo all! I know i am a noob here so i doubt anyone will help but.... I have an issue!
First, thanks to all who worked and figured out how to root and get JB on the Tmobile P769, awesome job!
Before reading any further i should state i searched the heck out of this subforum to find my answer but either im using the wrong search criteria or noone has ever run into this before.
Here is my issue, after rooting and flashing to JB all the contact info for my messages and phone calls is lost.
Basically both of these will only use info from the sim card and NOT the joined contacts i have set up in the phone (profile pic, ringtone, fb, ect). When i save said contacts to the phone (again) and rejoin them, it gives me multiple phone profiles but after i reboot it goes back to reading from the sim card.
For those i dont have on my sim card everything is fine and the joined contact info shows up.
Obviously i could just delete all contacts from my sim card as a fix but i was wondering if anyone had this same issue or knows how to get around this? Am i missing some option in the setup to push contacts from the phone and not the sim card?
Also, on the Contacts tab under settings -> display options -> choose contacts to display: i have it set for Custom; Phone/Starred/Facebook.
Thanks for helping me with this annoying problem and i hope to help others with there questions in the future as a return!
just wanted to post that some how i magically fixed this.... im not sure what i did tho! haha.
I was deleting contacts from my SIM card, it crashed, came back and everything was fine. Short of not recognizing my sim card and needing to reboot the phone, it was like magic.
Thread can be closed as im not sure what i did to fix and wont be able to help others if they have the same issue.
