Hi.
I recently switched from WM65 to Android.
I discovered that in sms delivery notification only recipient number is displayed.
Is there any way to show recipient name in delivery report popup?
thank you very much for your reply.
Not by default, no. And I don't think anyone really cared much for this to mod it. I mean, you do have to first go into the conversation thread of a specific person, then tap on your sent message and *then* view the delivery report. What difference does it make seeing the name here when it's already shown at the top of the conversation thread?

Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone can help me figure out this problem.
I can't seem to find a timestamp on SMS messages for any days other than the current day. So if I received a message at 7.01am today I can see "07:01", however if I want to look at a message I received a few days ago, all I can get is "Oct 3", and bringing up the menu and clicking "View message details" still only shows "Oct 3".
Is there a way to show the entire timestamp? This seems like a terrible oversight if it's not possible to see what time an SMS was sent/receieved for any day other than the current day.
+1. Incredibly annoying "feature".
I am sure it is available in the sms logs, it is just not being shown.
I guess they did it to remove clutter, in the assumption that people wouldn't care about the timestamp of messages from yesterday, but that is just not true. Particularly when it has just gone past midnight!
It is the recency of the message that is important, not whether it arbitrarily happened today or yesterday.
How about ChompSMS and those other SMS apps, do they show them?
Yep!
Handcent SMS is the way forward. The stock messaging app just doesn't cut it...
Ok, I've looked around and what I'm looking for doesn't seem to exist, I was wondering if it was because it is technically impossible/very hard to do or because nobody try it yet.
This is my understanding of how things work:
After receiving an SMS message, the recipient mobile phone will send back a message delivery report to the SMS center to inform whether there are any errors or failures (example causes: unsupported SMS message format, not enough storage space, etc). This process is transparent to the mobile user. If there is no error or failure, the recipient mobile phone sends back a positive delivery report to the SMS center. Otherwise it sends back a negative delivery report to the SMS center.
If the sender requested a status report earlier, the SMS center sends a status report to the sender when it receives the message delivery report from the recipient.

What I'm thinking about is way to do this: Once a phone receives the SMS, it sends a spoofed "Storage full" or "Message format not supported error" to the SMS center instead of a positive delivery report.
That way you could receive and read SMS but to the sender it appears you haven't received it. In short this gives you plausible deniability.
I've had it happened to me recently because my phone memory was full. My phone sent a "Memory full" message to the network and the sender did not receive a message report. If a phone can legitimately refuse to receive a message it means it could also be possible to fake that "memory full" message.
Any thoughts?
I love the idea, but the only time I would see having the need for this kind of plausible deniability (i.e. a court of law), the person questioning the receipient of the text message could simply ask for a record of the phone bill which, in most cases (if requested), could provide the time and date of all text messages sent and received. lol. Just curious, but do you mind if I ask what you would use it for? (sorry for the run-on sentence)
I like this idea..maybe a reverse engineering hack of SMS Counter or another counter type widget/app?

There would be several uses for that kind of app.
One of the scenarios (the one that got me thinking about it) is someone receiving unwanted messages from a specific individual, for example from someone abusive. Even if the victim trashes the messages without reading them (they are several apps available that allow you to do that), through message reports, the abuser is still able to know that his messages were at least received by his target. If he keeps receiving "undelivered" statues, he'll simply stop sending texts.
I know that in those kind of situations the victim is expected to change her/his phone number, but that's the whole idea, not having to change your phone number just because of unwanted text messages.
Still no way? Any app to do this?
Hi when I go to send an sms and click on the recipient icon it brings a list of my contacts up. Only problem is, it also brings up tons of contact details of people who I've emailed and so on. How do I stop that?
This is my first post, so I hope I'm going about this in the right way. Thanks in advance for your patience and assistance. I haven't been able to find anything related to this issue on these forums or the web, as I think it is a difficult problem to explain and not sure what key words to search by.
At least since Android OS 4.1, and now also with 4.2, I am having issues with the stock SMS app. Many of my contacts are saved in the format 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx. When I go to the SMS app and click new message, then type in a contact's name, if they have their number formatted as such, the number becomes truncated by removing the parenthesis and what is between them, so it becomes 1 xxx-xxxx. obviously sending the text message fails and does not reach the intended recipient.
It works fine with numbers formatted as 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx, xxx-xxx-xxxx, and (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I've tested it with all these iterations. This is very frustrating and the only workaround is to search back in the SMS history and find that person and click reply, or to go the People app and search for the contact and then click the send SMS icon next to the number under their contact info, or to copy and paste the number from their contact info into the SMS app.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this even on the Android team's radar as a bug that needs fixing? How do I let them know?
UPDATE!!!
Allow me to illustrate the issue with screen shots:
I created 5 test contacts with differently formatted numbers (the numbers were all randomly chosen and you can see they are labeled as follows in the screen shots)
Test 1: 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx
Test 2: +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx
Test 3: 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx
Test 4: xxx-xxx-xxxx
Test 5: (xxx) xxx-xxxx
This shows the five contacts when i type in test to the add contact search field

Selecting contact Test 1 as the recipient of SMS/MMS. Notice that the area code is omitted and therefore the contact is not recognized, so no name is populated.

Selecting contact Test 2 as the recipient of SMS/MMS. This works and the name and number of the contact are shown appropriately.

Any one else have this issue? This is clearly a bug, not sure how to bring it to android developers attention.
Thanks.

Could anybody be kind enough to shed some light on this matter? Or direct me to a more appropriate forum / thread / audience?
Many thanks.

I am also experiencing this issue, I have opened a bug report for this: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42325. You may wish to add your extra findings to the bug report.
Ah I had already done likewise, I should have shared the link. Hopefully an android dev can merge the issues.
Since I can't post links yet, my bug report is issue number 41959, which can be found by searching the link paul posted.
Having the same problem also. Any help please...
Hello forum
I am interested in reading the entire SMS Delivery Report. (yes I actvated the option, "Request a delivery report for each SMS you send" in Android Messaging
For this purpose I installed the tool SMS Delivery Reports (http://droida.ch/deliveryreports/)
Unfortunately the tool "Delivery Reports" does only display/say "delivered", but an entire SMS delivery report does consist on much more infos (pls see https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gts/03/0340/05.03.00_60/gsmts_0340v050300p.pdf on page 35, SMS-DELIVER type)
Questions:
- does somebody know if low-level SMS handling might be done by the baseband rather than by Android?
- what is the easiest approach to read/save the entire Delivery Report of an SMS?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

To enable delivery report on Android go to Settings > Text Message (SMS) Settings and turn on the Delivery Reports option. From that point on, your Android device will start receiving delivery reports for SMS messages, notifying you of the current state status of the text message
