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)

Is it just me or is anyone experiencing a "Forbidden" error when sending/receiving MMS after updating to AT&T's new ROM with 1.14.25.35 Radio?
I've reflashed the updated AT&T ROM and then flashed NRG's latest 6.5 ROM with the correct Rilphone.dll and still have the Error. I even tried sending from the new stock ROM and got the error. I did this multiple times to make sure it wasn't a bad flash and still have the "Forbidden" error. Did I do something wrong when I flashed the new ROM and Radio? The settings in MMS are correct and I didn't load anything else prior to testing MMS.
At first I thought it was AT&T and wasted over 30 minutes with a rep that knew next to nothing. Then it dawned on me that this all started after I updated to the new ROM/Radio release for AT&T on HTC's website. So, I reverted back to the original shipped ROM with 1.02.25.32 Radio, flashed NRG's latest 6.5 ROM and can now send/receive MMS.
I had the same forbidden error and had to talk to tech support from att.. apparently it's because i had placed my sim into an iphone and we all know iphones can't send mms so it registered into their system that i was using an iphone thereby causing the iphones imei to register to my number hence why it's forbidden to send/receive a mms. did you perhaps do something similar?
ATT0001 file can't open it
Hey Guys... sorry than I can't help to solve your problem.. But i have a problem too with the MMS... what happens is that every time I send or receive a mms to a windows mobile phone comes as ATT0001 file and I can not open .. I need help with this thanks
Loner2DEnd: I did but only to unlock one. I've done this before and have never had that problem up. I only noticed that I wasn't able to send/receive MMS after I had the official update from HTC for the FUZE. I was on the phone with the tech and they told me that using my SIM in an iPhone wouldn't have updated my account. You can log onto your online account with AT&T and see what phone/IMEI is registered with your account. Mine still has my FUZE and correct IMEI. Everything is working now that I reflashed the original shipped ROM with the 1.02.25.32 Radio.
I downloaded another copy of the ROM update from HTC for the FUZE and ran the same tests to see if maybe it was a corrupted file/bad flash and I still had the same issues with MMS. My internet still worked but I got the same Forbidden Error. For now, I'm going to just stay with my current (original shipped) Radio since everything's working.
Dannyedilber: I'm not familiar with that Error. Sorry man. I don't know much about MMS and had to do some homework and some trial and error to finally find this solution. Maybe one of the seniors can answer your question.
I've had this problem a few times but usually fixes itself after a reset or a quick disconnect/reconnect of the radio.
I find that if I leave my data on for an extended period of time, it seems to happen. Almost like AT&T is seeing the high traffic and cutting me off.
Also check to make sure you guys don't have Data disabled in your accounts.
@Dannyedilber: I don't even know what an "ATT0001" file is?
@Loner2DEnd: My wife just returned her iPhone because she said it sucks compared to Windows Mobile (smart girl eh?) and went back to her old Samsung Blackjack. We did this yesterday, after her having the iPhone for a little under 30 days. I just sent her a picture and she got it.
From AT&T
The data network works for all of our devices and the Windows Mobile devices are the only ones that seem to have had some issues with the way the data network is configured. Rather than trying to re-configure and potentially break the network for other users, we have been working on a fix for the Windows Mobile issue. We have a fix that will be implemented by the end of this quarter and we should have the problem resolved at that time.

From AT&T
Just wanted to let you know that I did get an update. The project to "fix" the 403 error is moving forward. Right now we plan to have the implementation complete in June with Project closure in Early July. I will follow up again in about a month to see the status and provide closure information.
Just for clarification: This project hasn't slipped a month, we keep the project open during a "soak" period to ensure that everything is going as expected. Also, as we apply the fix to the elements in the network the fix will be applied to certain markets and complaints should drop for that market dramatically. I haven't seen this issue in a while here so I believe that the patch has been applied for the Minneapolis market.

An easy temporary fix is to put your phone into flight mode and then take it out. A new data connection almost always works. Worst case scenario soft reset the phone.
so its by market then?
I flashed the new rom about last week, had no issues receiving and sending MMS on it and on NATF's 4.7 rom.
Still No MMS

My MMS is not working incoming or outgoing. I have tried it from TF3D2, Titanium, after reset, after airplane mode and reset with no success. I put my SIM card in my backup phone and MMS send and receive worked flawlessly. I do not get the forbidden error message some of you have gotten; it just does not work. I have reset the RegEdit keys several times and they are currently set at 1.2mb. I know that 6oo K is at&t max, but the two test MMS messages are 77K and 317k. Thanks - David.

It sounds like you have a different issue altogether. My posts were answers from AT&T strictly for the 403 forbidden issue.
Player911 sorry that I was not very specific...whats happening is when I send a ATT MMS to someone who have a HTC touch pro to her hotmail account.. she can't open it because the picture come as ATT0001.. even when I send att MMS to myself at my email account I receive as a ATT0001
Need help with this guys.. please
Sorry my english
Hi All:
First off thank you for the info in resolving this issue. Since swithing back to the original shipped ROM with radio 1.02.25.32 then flashing EnergyROM 3.0 Phoenix 6/12, I've had no problems with MMS Forbidden Error. It's been a week now and I've had no data/network issues either. I'll try again with the new Radio/ROM this weekend when I have some free time and will report back. Thanks everyone!
Tru using a registry editor and go in and change the registry in Arcsoft under HKLM>Software>Arcsoft>Arcsoft MMS UA>Config>MM1>MMSCSetting>SampleMMSC>Wap1SendDefault and Wap2SendDefault and change to a desired number. For instance, I have 102400 set to send up to 1MB.
See if that allows you to send.
try enabling ATT's proxy. This always works for me.
1. Enable the proxy
2. Kill the data connection
3. Reconnect data
4. Try sending or receiving.
This has worked countless times for me.
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 )
I've been trying to solve some intermittent probs with messages that may be due to radio probs or possibly probs with handcent SMS.
When using the quick reply usually the message appears to go then a few seconds later I get the red triangle telling me message not sent. If I then resend, the message goes without an alert, but it appears it doesn't get to the recipient, even though it shows still in my thread.
Just wondered if anyone else has had similar probs, with or without Handcent
I have also been experiencing probs like the number being "unavailable" to folks calling me when I know its not, and with calls dropping out
So I had been asuming it was possibly a radio glitch, and swapped from 2.3 to 2.2 MCR, then changed my radio to 6-18EU and then to 5-31BU and I'm currently on 5-15U which is seeming the most stable.
I'm on TMOB in UK

It seems there is a few issues.
I have confimed instances of not receiving incoming calls at random intevals, I cannot pinpoint what is causing them. People say they have been trying to ring me and its just going to voicemail. I tried it myself randomly and 1 in 10 times it would not ring, no reason, had full signal!
As for SMS, I do get (quite low) occasions where a text wont sent, but when retrying it sends straight away, not sure why this is.
I've also had issues when trying to ring someone, my phone will just hang up and not even get to the point of ringing / going to voicemail. This can happen about 5-6 times before actually getting a ring out.
I've tried all the radio's available and they all seem to be the same. Pretty poo as I use the phone for business and I cannot afford to be losing calls.
I'm on o2 uk and always have my mobile data on, not sure if this could be causing it.
Yes, I get that, and on occasion emails not sent. But assume that comes down to the not great signal of the phone. Also, the SMS can freeze on occasion and you have to wait before you can slide through the individual users messages to look back.
Hi,
since I'm having the same kind of issue and got answer from support an relatives, maybe if you follow that thread we'd all get the answer we need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570436
I am having similar issues using the standard messaging app. I have also noticed more recently that I find my handset with no signal for extended periods, I often have to restart to get the signal back.
White hero, official latest ROM on O2.
i'm the same

I have exactly the same problems with stock radio on T-mobile uk so it seems its a problem with the phone rather then particular network if it appears on o2 as well... its quite annoying to be honest where someone is trying to reach me and it goes straight to voicemail 5 times in a row and I know that my phone has been on the desk all the time with good signal..
for t-mob uk try the 07-08 radio
ive got it and it works prety well
http://android.modaco.com/content/h.../09-10-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/
I already have 07-08 radio!!
i occasionally dont receive txts til about an hour after they are sent and sometimes the same person has problems calling me also on a rare occasion it says number not recognised when i call them back.
very strange and even more annoying as its my gf's number it doesnt like lol.
radio 07.08
UK T-Mobile
right,
my wifes starting to lose her temper with her hero.
she send over 150 text messages a day, but receiving them seems to be a very hit and miss affair.
she gets texts ok for a while, then gets nothing for 10-20 mins (from what i can tell) then all the ones she has missed arrive all at once.
orange UK have basically told her to naff off and talk to HTC.
so, can anyone tell me whats causing the problems, is it an orange problem, or a phone problem.
if its the phone, whats causing the problem
doing a bit of a search, one explanation seems to be that the phone is running out of memory and it shuts down the text app and relaunches it later on, if so, how can i prevent/stop this happening.
she is on the current rom from HTC which she installed about 10 days ago to try and prevent this.
thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give
from what i have read on the forum it might be a problem with the stock messaging app.
try installing handcent sms or chomp sms from the market and see how that goes.
don't forget to turn off the notifications from the stock sms app or you will get multiple notifications for the same message.
also if your wife is using task killer applications she should put the messaging app on the ignore list!
Me too!
I am having this very same problem, although on a slightly smaller scale (150 texts/day?!). I also get the problem where callers are going straight to my voicemail when the phone is right beside me, receiving full signal, which, to my mind, would seem to be related.
I spoke to Orange who fobbed me off with "oh, there's a mast down in your area, switch to use 2G only", despite my protestations that the problem occurred when I was in different parts of the country...
Interestingly, it happened with my Touch Diamond as well when I first got that, about 18 months ago; I was never sure that it was completely cured, but it sure as hell wasn't as bad as it is now on my 2 month old Hero with stock Orange ROM.
My twopenneth, for what it's worth.
P.
Try a new updated Radio rom maybe? One way to tell if its a network issue is to make calls to 150 for about 10 seconds and see if the stuck messages come through, if so its a network issue. I wouldn't let orange customer service fob you off they don't have the reporting tools to actually look into the issue's.
so ive had my k7 for a while now, and every now and again i wouldnt be able to receive any sms messages. i could send them, but i could not receive them. they would all come flooding in at once. today, it stopped working completely. i cannot recieve any messages whatsoever. not even from myself. ive tried to use teh mmi codes, but i always get an error message. when i go to my service providers, i cannot search for any networks, yet if i hit auto connect, it says i am connected to the network. ive even tried putting the sim card into someone elses phone. it would take forever to send the messages, but it would work, and i could receive messages when my sim card was in their phone. i am at a loss and getting kind of desperate. i have even flashed the phone back to its origional state, updated the firmware, yet the issue persists. i don't know if this could affect anything, but just in case it does, i have amplify and ive disabled a lot of the t mobile wakelocks and google play wakelocks. i also have apps2sd, and linked my t mobile app and messages app to my sd card. i dont use the stock messasging app, because whenever i try and use it, it is incredibly slow at sending messages. i live a little over a block away from the nearest cell tower, so connectivity isnt an issue. is my sim card damaged or have i messed something up? any help would be greatly appriceated.
