Hi everyone,
I'm on T-Mobile US, and I cannot reply to SMS messages sent to me. It shows that they sent as far as outlook is concerned; but the person never receives the SMS. No matter what provider they use.
This issue has been around for every ROM update and version I have tried. Even the new 2003SE version.
Anyone have any ideas?
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)
How do everyone...
I've got a pink Hero from mobiles.co.uk for my girlfriend (really it is for my girlfriend) and I'm having the strangest issue with MMS on it.
If I send a message to myself, it sends it fine and receives it fine.
If I send it to another phone, it sends fine and the person receives it fine.
However, If I get one sent to my phone from another phone, it wont receive it.
I just can't understand why, is there anyone here who can actually receive MMS messages from someone else who is on Vodafone?
I haven't bothered posting my APN settings just in case its a known issue but I will do if some people can send messages. I'm on Modaco 2.6 too.
Cheers
Nobody on Vodafone here and tried to send an MMS?
Come on, let us know if you can or can't... be helpful

having the same trouble on my Hero.
UK vodafone, using MCR 2.2 ROM (will update soon!), MMS worked pre uprgade, but now does not. Tried all sorts of APN settings.
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
Hi,
I recently upgraded to an HTC HD2 that I bought on eBay. It was an O2 phone that had been unlocked so I could use it on Orange. When I picked it up, SMS messaging was working fine, unfortunately, a dodgy app meant I had to do a hard reset and since then I can't send or receive text messages.
I've checked that the message centre number is correct. I found it in 2 different places but it's the same in both (which is the number that Orange provided).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
