I solved this finally..
There was a wrong SMS Service Center set...dont know why though cos neither I or my sis was not touching it.
Maybe hero configured itself incorrectly?
Hello people
My sister got a new HTC Hero for Xmas.
I helped her a lot with the phone - although I am a hTC HD WinMo user.
Android is totally new thing for me and I cant figure this out.
She does not use a plan, but credit (do you call it like that? she charges her SIM card with certain amount of money and then spend it on calls and stuff- no data though, which sucks )
So when she sends out a message a notification comes out saying unable to send message though it counted off the money (the sms was paid for without being sent)
Can somebedy please help me solve this issue as I am lost?
I spent a lot of times on google and here in xda but could not find what I seek. It seems that this issue is not that common (?).
Thank you in advance.
PS: I upgraded the ROM to the newest one from the hTC support site. I didnt flash any custom ROM and wont do that since the phone is not mine.
PS2: In the "All Messages" screen the message is still there with a little triangle with the "!" in it.
PS3: Phone is not branded. Carrier is Orange slovakia.
I am confused.

On stock T-Mobile G2 I seem to be missing some SMS's from my wife. This has happened on at least two occasions and she has received a delivery report each time. Yesterday this happened when she was sat next to me on a train and sent me a text. In each case I had used the phone recently for text or voice and was using it for 'other things' e.g. in an app or a menu, and had signal. Anyone else noticed this?
Well, thats strange cos thats exactly what I am suffering from. two separate people apparently sent me a text which I never received them and don't know where it had gone. Just about to look at "3" help to see if there is anything there about it, but looked like I am not the only one and it isn't network related.
I have "sms popup" to notify me of any messages - I was thinking that might have broke something. do you have sms popup installed?
(using sim free hero)
The very first text I (should have) received was eaten, too. I honestly have no idea how many others are missing because I haven't talked to the people I have been texting yet.
That was before I had any apps installed at all.
Mine did the same yesterday. I have also had an hour delay on receiving a message and it didnt arrive until I sent another.
Well I have lots of apps installed but never 'SMS popup'. Problem happened again this eve- Mrs texted when I was on the tube (out of signal). She got a 'pending' and a 'delivered' report. I got squat. As she points out, texting is a core function that you need to be able to rely on. Any ideas what we can do to get this bug addressed? What ROM are people using?

Come to think of it, I was texting back and forth with someone the other day and they never replied to a question (my last text to them). They are usually very reliable about replying... uh oh :/
Same thing here.. At least two texts that I'm 100% sure has been sent to me. (talked to the people later)
This is not good.
Just adding my missing texts too.
No SMS pop up installed and 100% sure they were sent.
Missed at least two!
Orange UK.
Same here. Message dissipated into the aether during the sending process. 3 (= Hutchison) Hong Kong.
My firmware shows the same labels as kiz
@ Sku11y : what does your firmware labels say? (although to be honest this seems like an HTC rather than network customisation issue)
Same issue here.
I've SMSPopup installed
I'm aware of 2 sms that didn't arrive.
When that happened, the SMSPopup window came up with an old message from a different contact.
Its happening to me too
I've got the standard unlocked version using Orange, popup sms installed but I don't thinks it's the software since reading this thread. Often I've seen an old text popup several times, I'm beginning to think these were new sms and I just haven't seen them. I text for a 241 film ticket this morning and thought I had no reply so sent the request again and Orange replied I couldn't have more than one ticket each Wed so their reply went missing.
this is looking like a phone software fault to me.
Best thing to do is to get in touch with the network to determine that it is definitly a phone fault.
Delivery reports are sent to the sender when the receiving network has received the message (auto send notification that they have received the message) and then they pipe this down their network to the recipient.
If the network are receiving the messages, but not able to send them to your phone they might be getting an error message, so should be able to shed some light on the situation.
Would be good if we know what networks everyone is on who is having a problem and whether its the unlocked version or locked to network...?
I'm on o2 with a unlocked T-Mobile G2, not having any issues that i'm aware of.
It's a bug for sure!
2 days ago i opened a ticket regarding this problem and today after a few mail i got the following answer:
Dear valued HTC customer,
We know this this issue with sms but there is no update to fix yet. You could check the web site for future hotfix.

Just seen one of the later replies too, pretty poor on HTCs part if they know about the issue but don't seem too bothered to fix it!
At least they are aware of it and not denying all knowledge!, Lets look on the bright side.
@Birba That's great news. Where did you report this to HTC?
Thanks
On www.htc.com under support.
I have also reported the problem to them, I suppose I ought to tell Orange. The trouble is I am using my o2 SIM, so there won't be a record of many texts being sent...
Unbelievable!
I can't believe HTC actually released a phone that is chewing sms messages and not done a very urgent fix by now! Thats the whole point of a mobile phone that has been doing sms for years- otherwise I might has well stick with a cheap basic nokia that can do a proper job!
On the side note, I remember with my old htc touch diamond (winmo), the sms if I was unable to receive it was stored onto the sim card when the phone becomes available. The device never did display any notification nor did it appear as "unread" - it "just" appears on the message list screen.
Perhaps thats whats happening - the sms is on the sim which android doesn't have access too?
Hi, I found an Xperia Mini Pro a couple months back and while owning a HTC Legend, I am quite fond of this mobile.
However the previous owner didn't put much info such as home number or something similar for me to return It so I kept it.
Now one month after that I was unable to make/receive calls or send text messages on that Xperia X10 mini pro. Due to not having some kind of an insurance for the phone, I took it to 3 Mobile shops that claimed that they could "open" the phone and remove this lock.
The prices were different but It didn't matter but none of them were able to fix the phone.
One claimed that the phone was open for two days and fully functional but when I retrieved it, the shop clerk told me that It got disabled again.
So now months later and this phone in my drawer collecting dust, Is there any way to fix this phone?
Custom roms don't seem to do the trick.
I have tried to change the sms communications settings via a hidden menu but nothing.
I still have the old sim card from when I first found it, If it can be of any use now.
Thanks for reading and I hope there is a way to fix this phone.
Seems that your phone IMEI is blacklisted on your operator (maybe due to a request by original owner).
Since there's no easy (and legally) way to change IMEI and you don't have the bill of sale, I don't think you can put your phone online again.
Call your operator and inform you found a phone. Maybe they can find the owner for you and you'll make someone happy.
Regards

so.... let me get this straight.....
u FOUND a phone that wasnt yours?? and you just... started using it????
Did you happen to think "hmmmm maybe someone's lookin for this baby somewhere...." ??
Call the operator and try to return the phone.. after that, bury ur head in shame!
EDIT: and u had the nerve to ask xda for help!
I lost my phone last night in a yellow cab in NYC.
I had the tasker setup to locate phone when i text it a certain mssg.
I tried this morning to track down my phone but the taxi was all over the place and its nearly impossible to get my phone because even when it did stop moving...the adress it gave me was a large apt building and theres no way i can get my phone back even if i do know its in the building somewhere.....
I need any advice i can get please.
I would get in touch with the cab company.
Walk into the apartment with dual Uzis and go door-to-door until someone looks scared ****less. No, but seriously, just call the cab company, ask if anyone used the cab to arrive at that apartment or near the area, then yeah, how you confront them I'm not too sure.

The worst part about this is knowing where it is and knowing i have a limited amount of time to find it before its gone forever...and as far as i can see i think its still in the cab as ive been tracking the phone by gps and its been all over the city....I just dont know the cab medallion number and its nearly impossible to catch this cab driving around in the city.
I don't know if tasker gives you network or GPS location. There is an app called lookout plan b. You can install it from market.android.com from a computer onto your phone remotely and locate your phone with GPS. If that's more accurate, that may help you track it down easier.

Yes Entropy ive tried many times and at first it just seemed that it was still in the back of the cab unnoticed as no one was picking up. I went online and suspended my service and i also know now that the battery has died since my gps location isnt responding anymore and when tried to call goes straight to voicemail now.
One thing is that i checked my call log online and noticed there was a 911 call made from the phone yesterday at around 7pm. The phone is locked so he must have either tried to get in thru the emergency call or called 911 to report the missing phone.
Either way i called the 2 precincts in Manhattan that receive lost items and claim nothing was brought in. It seems to me that even if it was, they would not want to tell me anyway, and are really rude.
I lost my chance of finding the phone as it is dead now and the service has been cancelled. maybe if someone tries to charge it up and turns it on i can try to track it again.
I had no insurance on the phone. But i did pay for the phone with my american express gold card and they have a protection plan that covers stolen/ accidental damage till 90 days after purchase. I sent a claim to them so hopefully they will reimburse me the money paid . Then i called ATT to mail me another sim card to my house. My brother has an upgrade and i spoke to the rep and he said i can do a cross upgrade where i can get a phone for the upgrade price without having his line added to a data plan as well.
In the end i might get the same phone back for free but with having another line on my family plan under a 2 year contract. I loved that phone a lot...running your kernel and unnamed. Even if i get the same phone again...idk if it will be the same for me lol.
Also im so stupid i didnt have any nandroid backups on my comp and were only on my sd card. lucky i had titanium backup stored in my dropbox so that is good.
Also lookout for android is ****. After i realized i had lost it...i upgraded to lookout premium for 14 days free trial and tried to lock and wipe my phone. didnt work. tried to locate my phone using that as it stated it might be more accurate. didnt work. tried to use the scream function. didnt work. nothing worked and i tried searching forums and i think a lot of ppl have problems with it not working... I should have tested it out before i actually needed it.
Also thank god for 1.3.1 update that fixed the lock screen issue that i installed a couple days ago...otherwise all my info was just out in the open....im still worried tho...wish the stupid wipe function worked.
Hi All,
Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.
Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?
Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies for the long message
Thanks

This forum is for the SGH-I777 (AT&T version, four capacitive buttons at the bottom.)
You're in the UK and bought from the UK equivalent of Craigslist, so you likely have an I9100. This isn't the forum for you.
Either way, nothing anyone here can do to help you - we are all AT&T customers.
Not to mention, sounds like you bought a hot (stolen) phone. Only the carrier it was first connected to can unblock the IMEI and unless you can prove you bought it legitimately they are unlikely to do so. If the insurer already paid out on a claim then they will never do so. Buying from unknown sources is a bad idea.
So in short, sounds like the guy got scammed.

I an quite knowledgeable about phone, particularly S2, but this is 1st time I experienced this problem.
My friend bought an 2nd-hand S2 via ebay for 125 pounds, it's quite cheap, right? :cyclops: But the funny is that, when he puts a sim on, that phone does not show the name of carrier but "Emergency call only" instead, although it receive full signal with letter H data. The phone still able to use data to check FB, web-browsing... but it does not allow to make call, and keeps saying "Phone not registered"
I did try to make some search and find that the phone might be reported as lost or stolen and it is barred by imei block.
Though I did advice my friend return this phone to the ebay seller, but he still ask me to find any available solution becoz he does not want to lose this deal.
Can anybody here experience same problem or find any solution ??
Thank you in advance
Try flashing another modems, ROMs, kernels etc., but if it doesn't work, he will need to return this phone.

Try flashing a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com through odin and after that do a factory reset /data wipe.

thanks for all advice. I did try to install a new stock firmware but no help, the phone still keeps saying "Emergency calls only" although it is able to connect data to browse internet So sad I will ask my friend to return this phone to ebay seller
First time poster and new to this incredible forum
I had the same problem when i bought HTC one x 1 month ago
Phone was branded with vodafone i called voda they said it was IMEI blocked
I was lucky the seller lived in my area so i returned the phone and got my money back. These days if you bought aphone from ebay or gumtree and owner forget to pay his bill or forged ID or claimed insurance on the phone they will block the imei
