Hi guys!!!
I have a annoying problem with sms, some contacts told me, they recibe a blank sms or cuts, with many test the problem is with latins words, "canción, avión, ladrón", but 2.1 eclair did not happen, only with this custom rom.
Someone else with this problem?
Greetings!!!
Odd you get that, there is a standing bug in the X10 firmware to do with SMS's, for me (and my partners phone, both X10's) we get SMS's that fail to send when on 3g, i have seen a few get partially sent, but generally it just fails and i have to turn off 3g to get it to send (sometimes doing edit, send, edit, send a few times gets it through)
I have seen other people report this, but i have been unable to get SE to comment on it, you may be suffering from a similar bug?
Is it generally on long messages?
EDIT: forgot to say, i have had this problem on both Vanilla SE 2.1 and Z's Froyo (since B1 but still happening on B3, testing B4 now). Cant remember but i think i had it on 1.6 as well.
Turns out my problem might be at least partially fixed in baseband 54, what baseband are you currently running?
I assume .54, if thats the case you may be on your own, if not, that may be your problem , B4 is designed for .54 so that might do the trick.
Bb is 54, I test send SMS over edge and the problem persist. Only with special characters, I return to eclair, is really annoying.

Maybe instead of going back to 2.1, you could try a third-party app, like GO SMS.
It is completely localised and it supports international characters encoding.
It works for me, for Greek characters!
Is not neccesary come back to 2.1, i installed handcent sms and the problem disappeared, only i miss is send accented words, like "maría, tía, venía, canción, etc" only waiting the SE update to froyo or gingerbread.
Thks to all!!!

I cannot send text messages from my phone, it comes up as failed as soon as i tap send, it happened on froyd, so i went to cronos, it happened on cronos, so i went to 2.1 sensehero, still didnt work, so I bit the bullet and unrooted using the 2.73.61.66 ruu, didnt work, got the ota update to 2.1, still doesn't work, anybody else having this problem?, is there a fix?, as i can recive texts, make and recive calls, us mobile data fine, its just outgoing texts, its kinda annoying notbeing able to send texts
Have you contacted orange? (the obvious people to contact for this issue...)
I also get this problem on T-Mobile, although I only started to happen since updating to 2.1 ROMS. I've tried different 2.1 ROMs and different radios but the problem is still there. Was never an issue on 1.5.
My texts do eventually send though, they just fail the 1st time I try and then the phone automatically tries again. 2nd attempt usually works as I have delivery reports turned on to check.
A friend also has this problem with his Hero, although he is running official 2.1 update straight from T-Mobile.
Maybe it's just something HTC forgot to fix / didn't notice was a problem in their 2.1 Hero update... like the bug where you can't hide sim contacts in the phonebook (but you can in contacts).
Open up your Messages application. Press Menu -> Settings.
Click on "Service Center" - it should then say +447973100973. If it doesn't, type it in and press okay.
Your messages should then send !
i agree with Alex here as that is the most obvious one, if that doesn't work then contact orange to make sure there are no other issues...
thanks guys, i did as alex suggested, and all was perfecly fine,
thanks so much!

Hey all,
Just wondering whether its me or not, but ever since the update if I type a text longer than '1 message(+9) '(weird but cool feature if I must say) my phone will Not send the message no matter what..and as long as I have it under that character limit it works fine...
I'm in australia and with Optus, and I work for them as well so I know it isn't my sim or my account :/
Anybody else had this issue? Because I know currently the samsung galaxy S(2.1) is having compatability issues with texting, but I wouldn't imagine it'd be the same cause...

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I just did a test text and it worked fine.. 2 messages sent no problems.. (UK Vodafone).. World Generic 2.1 firmware.
just wondering did you update to the optus 2.1 or the generic?
I have a feeling i must be on the generic firmware because i did have 1.6 Rooted prev. to the update
I asked the guys at work about the update today and none of them so far have been able to update...even though i downloaded the Australasian PC Companion.
but even picture messages and everything else works perfectly fine...its just that one thing =/
I have the exact same issue, it happened to me also on 1.6 bu that was more generous and gave me 2 message lengths before it would fail to send. its strange as the first couple of messages i sent on the nordic 2.1 update where fine and they were well over 2 message lengths and then suddenly if i try to send one over 1 message length it fails!!! weird
would love to find the reason to this
Someone found any solution FOR THIS??? Help
It's saying "Could not send" for me, but is actually sending the first 160 characters of the message
Edited to add: I'm on UK Vodafone with the Global Generic 2.1 firmware.
Further edit: I'm able to send long sms to myself, just not my intended recipient...? She's on O2, could this be why?
Even more edit: Just tried sending to someone else and they didn't receive anything?! Very inconsistent!
sms Issue
Hi,
I have the same issue with my sms, it will not send more than 1 message otherwise the text bounce back saying message not sent, I just upgraded to 2.1 Nordic. The problem did exist when i was on the 1.6 but then the message will not send only if it was more than 2 messages, I am on vodafone uk, my phone was not debranded whilst running 1.6.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I still haven't found a solution to this, interesting that you're also on UK Vodafone though, maybe it's something to do with them rather than the firmware?
has anyone found solution to this I have Rogers X10a and Telus sim card in it. Can't send sms if its longer than 160 charecters . Please help
I'm having the same problem as well. Any message over 160 characters and it won't send. This has actually resulted in my not being able to send shorter messages after trying to send a message that is over 160 characters. Not sure what is going on here or if there is a setting that can be changed for this.
I'm in the U.S. on AT&T. Used the xda flash to global and rogers and neither would send an sms message over 160 I guess? (it's 2 sms) Did a global firmware to 1.6 and then updated to x10a 2.1 via sony and then tried and it still would not send. It will send through GSM however using the edge network. It must have something to do with the h network then and no I don't get 3g to pop up at the top of the screen ever..
I'm not too sure what the problem is here but it is the only one I am having on my phone, everything else is working great!...
If anyone can help us all out with any ideas or suggestions it would be great but as of now it sounds like it's a problem with the new software from sony. Gonna try messing with the sms apn a bit and see if I come up with anything but as of now 2.1 sms is considered broken in my opinion.:/
im having the same problem. im using chompsms and at the botton, instead of saying 160 char it says 70 and wont send more than two texts long. If the network is changed to GSM only, any size text will send but then internet is slow unless its changed back. AT&T settings were found automatically but they are all correct.
my SE Xperia X10 on 2.1 wont send messages at all. no matter the size. ive tried to send messages like "Hey" or "No" and they dont send. Im with in Canada, with Rogers. And its not my signal because i have 4 bars...
-Thanks

Thanks Jeff! As I am having this issue too, awaiting for any news about it...
Hi Everyone,
I've heard back from our team today. This is not a generic problem. I will need information from your phones to pass on so I can duplicate the problem. Please PM me the following details:
Country:
Service Provider/Operator:
IMEI:
SI#: (SI is the ####-####.# on the back of the phone)
Did this happen in 1.6?:
Did it ever work on 2.1?:
I need at least 5 examples to pass to the team to move this forward. I will update you when I've collected these.
Hi all,
Ok, found a solution - try this and let us know how it goes, its worked for me!
1. Open dialer and dial: *#*#4636#*#*
2. Select Phone Information from menu
3. Scroll down to SMSC
4. Enter SMS centre number given by your service provider in this box
5. Select Update
I got a "update error" message but it still seemed to save the number, but with " and a 3 digit code after it.
If the above doesn't work, as a short term solution you caould switch to just "GSM" in your network settings and this also works - not ideal, but it's a workaround!

Didn't work for me, UK Vodafone.
doesn't work for Telus Canada
I find since the 2.1 update (Rogers/x10a) a lot of my SMS are not going through. I keep getting the "message not sent" notification. (THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS 160+ CHARACTERS PROBLEM)
Am I the only one with this problem since the update? If so, hopefully I can get a new phone from Rogers
Have tried the *#*#4636#*#* and looked at the SMSC. Is always blank. Even when SMS is working.
Help?
EDIT: The problem here is Task Killers (ATK, for me). If Auto Kill is set to Aggressive it interfere's with sending SMS. If set to Safe there is no problem whatsoever.
i have the same problem
my rogers canada x10a also has a tiny bit of trouble sending sms messages after the update. i was considering reflashing because of it. i have found that every time i try to send a message that it has to split in to more than one message it fails.
hope this might aid in diagnosis with someone that knows more about this issue.
i haven't tried to play with it enough to recreate the problem consistently but if their standard character cap is different that could cause problems i suppose.
Edit:
i just attempted to recreate my problem for sake of being constructive.
for curiosity sake i went into the 4636 menu first. i should have done this after.
my smsc was also blank so i hit refresh and the field populated with: "+17057969300",145
that doesnt make a lot of sense to me looking like a phone number with too many digits. i dont know what the 145 was about either
i then went on to send a text message to myself starting with 140 chars then 144, 145, 146, 150, 160, and 180
it did warn me after 150 that i was sending 2 sms messages but they all worked
results: inconclusive

Your problem could be because you're with a different carrier. Bell? I know bell has capped at 150 characters I believe. Also, if you are on a different carrier I'm assuming the SMSC are different.
However, I am able to send SMS over 160 characters. Never had a problem with that. It's more of an annoyance. 1/15-20 of my messages doesn't go through. It's just bloody annoying.

I have to apologize. i just haven't changed that in my account here yet. i just switched from bell to rogers.
also:
all the random test messages i sent to myself before i posted that worked but i still am having problems sending 2+ sms messages to other people consistently.
I think this issue is related to Rogers' crappy network. Everyone I know on Rogers right now (in London Ont at least) is experiencing the same problem regardless of the device they're using. Damn you ROBBERS!!
I'm having this problem since I updated to 2.1, I can't send more than 160 characters in SMS. If it's more than 160 it fails to send it. Is there any solution to this? TIA

THANX I have had problems with sending large (above 160) sms's, after update to 2.1, but then i saw this, and gave it a try, and it worked, so for all others, try the 4636 menu, and hit refresh, helped for me
But But ..........after reboot the same problem again...........grrrr, then what to do!!!???
I know all providers have **** networks but I don't think that this is the problem. Since 1.6 I've NEVER experienced this issue with SMS. But dropped calls and **** reception? Yes.
I don't know if this is a firmware issue or not. Im thinking it is.
This is happening to many people in the UK too since the 2.1 update. So it's certainly not exclusive to your operator but something cocked up in the update.
I even had this problem on 1.6, it happens mainly between me and my girlfriend. Its a nightmare. Sometimes all is ok and others just won't send and sometimes it sends when it says can not send so god knows!!

I too had this problem on O2 Ireland after the 2.1 Android update.
Simple answer to the problem is that the update screws up one or two lines in the APN on the phone. All you should need to do to sort this out is find out your carriers APN settings and manually input them. As soon as I did this all worked beautifully.
Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > "Carrier Name" (Internet)
Change this and in theory you should be working again.

But doesn't this only affect the internet usage on the phone? I don't believe this is the same as the SMSC.
On another note, I happened to remove HTC Keyboard from my device as I thought this might be affecting the performance some how. And I don't know if it is a coincidence but my problem is gone.
Also, I noticed with the HTC Keyboard sometimes when I would send a message, the actual message would still be written on the "type message here" field.
2 birds, one stone ???

If you delete the 145 in smsc and the , you Can send 2 messages but not 3 in one continous SMS. Do not go back when you have done it go directly to the homescreen. By the way I'm also from Denmark... Fu.... S/E

Hi
My problem was not sending SMS over 160 characters... It was sending them period. I would constantly get "Message not sent" notifications.
I realized the problem. It's not HTC Keyboard, but Advanced Task Killer. I had the setting for Auto Kill frequency set to aggressive. This somehow interfered with sending SMS for my phone. I set it to Safe and it is fine. But if I switch back to Aggressive there is problems.
Anytime I flash a custom rom other than CM7, my incoming MMS messages shrink to about 23kb. ALLLL incoming MMS, even those I send to myself.
They show as being 128k, but when downloaded shrink.
I'm on T-mobile usa and the problem seems to be that the handset is not recognized on the T-mo usa network.
As soon as I flash CM7 the problem is solved because of the "custom user agent" setting in the messaging app.
I'd stick with CM7, but it doesn't have wifi calling
Is there any way to change the sms useragent in other ROMS?
Or has anyone else encountered this issue and found a solution?
And I'm 99.9% sure the isn't APN related, in case that comes up.
Thanks in advance!
same here
has anyone found anything? have the same problem, i'm on openOptimus build 2.202.1 and i read Gosms can fix it! not sure.. about to try it out but not a big fan of it! i use handcent sms but problem is still there!
i guess i'm stuck with GoSMS lol! i installed it and i'm happy to report that pics come at full size!!
Hi all,
My question relates to sending texts over 160 characters. It works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't.
I'm on the latest teamhacksung 6.1 version of ICS with default kernel. My modem is ED05.
Sometimes I'll send texts that would be 2, 3, or 4 pages and it gets through just fine. Other times, I'll send a 2 page text to the same recipient and it bounces back with a red triangle (standard messaging app).
Does anyone have this experience, and any suggestions to fix it?

I use ec09 modem and haven't had this problem and I send long texts all the time. Try eh03 or ec09 modem and it should help. I'm not going to promise that it'll fix, but its worth a shot.

You can try a different radio, but a workaround that works 100% of the time is going into the messaging app > settings then check "SMS split". It'll automatically split your long texts into multiple messages, and while I'd like it if longer texts just worked every time, this is at least a decent workaround.
Thanks. I appreciate the reply. I know SMS split works, but I'm just curious if my issue occurs for everyone else =)
I've never had problems with the eh03 radio so if you would like to give it a go, here is the eh03 odin file

I was curious about this too, since I wasn't sure if it was just me but it seems to be a pretty widespread issue.
Different radios do nothing for me as far as this issue goes.
