I love the ROM on my Touch Dual. Thanks for the great work. Only problem I have is that I am unable to receive any SMS. I can send SMS fine (and people do receive them) but when they send me SMS I get nothing. Could someone please help how to fix this?
(I am on T-Mobile USA)
are you sure you are not receiving them under the original message, this rom uses threaded sms by default, meaning they dont appear in your inbox as they would normally
Yes - I am positive. All I have are SMS threads that have only my messages. Not a single one of them have any of the responses.
For Tmobile are there any settings I need to keep in mind?
There is a setting under "SMS Service" which says:
SMS Over:
What does this need to be set to? (GSM/GPRS?)
Also what number does the "Text Messages Service Center" need to be set to (under Phone settings)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I receive mesaages just fine, but my messages are stuck 'sending'. this is with handcent and default messaging. Also, i am unable to download pictures that i receive..nor do people get the ones i send...what gives. Had no issues on 1.6
Also, sense i am on the subject, anyway to make handcent look like the default messenger?

SMS issue
If you are not receiving it sounds like there is a problem with your phone account, phone your network operator and check that they haven't put a bar on your account (for late payment etc). MMS issue sounds like you don't have the right APN for your network, either use the Sony Ericsson set-up wizard to get the right settings or get your network operator to send them to you.

I'm hearing ya mate, probably 1 in 10 messages "cannot send" but is ok if i retry sending .
a strange glitch....thought i was on my own here
I had it too. I just restarted the phone and now it's working again. No idea what caused it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i am having a really irritating SMs problem with.
My dad lives in Cyprus, when he sends me an SMS i can not reply, when i try it just says 'sending' then 'failed' . In order to get the text SMS to send to him i have to delete the message thread, then start a new message and it will send. Now if he then replies, i will need to delete the message thread again in order to be able to send him a new message.
I do not have this issue with any other contacts that i am aware. The only difference with my dad is that he lives abroad in Cyprus, and all my other contacts are here in the UK. Has anyone else had this issue? Know what causes it? I have deleted and recreated the contact but still the same.
Many thanks.
Do you have your dad's number stored in contacts with country code or not ? I was on the verge of smashing my phone when i was abroad, trying to call persons in my native country and i couldn't because i didn't have numbers stored with country code. Maybe that's your issue too
I think the problem is related to what SMS server your dad is using, I had same issue with my X-girls phone, no one could direct reply to SMS...
Hi, thanks for the replies.
Sp1tfire, i have changed the number configuration around several times, all with no success.
Fritz, this sounds plausible, however this would surely affect other phones replying? I don't have this issue when using my iphone 4 so it only happens from the Galaxy2 at the minute. I will try and use a colleagues Android phone to text him and test it.
Somehow you, or TSP (Telephone Service provider), have inserted a sms mail server address that is not valid.
here in my country, there has been scams, "cheaper SMS, enter this server setting" and stuff like that, so there is a setting on you phone that is wrong.

Can't be cause of settings, if he can actually send new sms to that number, but he can't reply from the received sms. His settings are correct as long as he can send sms. Must be something else. Are you using default sms app or a third party software ?

I am using the stock SMS app. I have just wiped the phone and installed the KF2 firmware. Going to see if that helps.
Sp1tfire, thats right, i can only reply to him when i delete the existing thread. I can however send new SMS to him no problem, so long as the thread is deleted before hand. Very frustrating as i lose the history every time.
Update, exactly the same on KF2 Firmware.
Ok, so i tried with a friends HTC desire and he has the same issue. also found my brother who has an iphone 3gs is unable to reply to my Dads number. So at least know its no longer just my phone and that it must be something the other end. Many thanks for the help.
Same problem here
When I reply to my girl it says: failed, when i delete the whole thread it goes.
It's only when I text her, all the other contact go fine
On my old sgs I had it to, but only on stock, when I was on CM7 it was OK.
Cant imagine that its something with the other phone i'm sending it to though

I remember in all the previous phones I've had, there's been a setting in the SMSC Settings allowing the user to specify whether or not to "Reply using the same SMSC" (or something along those lines).
If the option is ticked, the phone attempts to reply to the message through the SMSC that the text originally came from (rather than the one set in your handset).
The cause of the error may be because the SMSC overseas does not recognise your phone/SIM and therefore won't allow the replying message to go through.
And perhaps this may explain why deleting the whole thread and restarting a brand new message works - that is, the new message will go through the SMSC that is set in your phone for your own network.
Although, I've had a look through the settings in my SGS2 and can't seem to find that setting anywhere... (doesnt mean it's not there - it could just be that I don't know my phone well enough because I've only had it for a few days ).
I think your dad's SMS configuration settings is forcing you (or any other person he is sending an SMS to) to reply through his operators message centre
Ask him to check his sms settings and disable any such message centre settings from his side. This should solve the problem.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I used the X10 to forward sms/calls notification to my HTC phone via SMS. The apps like "The Operator" and "Phone Control" works in X10 2.1 before but since I updated to 2.3.3 the apps fails to work after 1 notification message.
I rebooted the X10 and activated the sms/call forward apps. Again try to simulate a missed call to the phone. The first missed call notification is forwarded. Subsequently the X10 refuse to send out SMS. Then I cannot even manually send sms on the X10. The sms application just hanged there with message "sending..". Need to reboot again before the sms function is working again.
It is important for me to have the sms/call forwarding function as I don't like to carry 2 phones.
Any one with the same problem?
Thinking of downgrade to 2.1
I do have a similar situation... I have a Xperia X10 and with any application I have the described problem. Just manually sending SMS works grate. If one of the apps is sending a message then no other messages are sent until I restart the phone. I have tried different apps and did do a few factory resets. I had no problems on Android 2.1, everything started after upgrading to 2.3.

I use Go SMS Pro apps (all free)for all sms/email (except Gmail/Google Voice stuff) /phonebook stuff works good, Have had for about six month now has all the stuff that you need to do an more. Although the Emoji with Emoji pulg-in only works if all you send too have the app other wise you are the only one that sees emoticons they will see the standard icons.

Also you can setup your Google voice/chat/mail as your forwarding number to send to all your numbers cells as(text/voice/video mail)/land-line as voice mail/Google Chrome all the above of coarse and it's all free to.
On my x10a 2.3.3 Generic/Rooted with some tweaks/apps/build props
Have you tried dgAway. I've been using it on 2.1,2.3 and now on custom rom.
It works flawlessly but be careful if the target phone is not on. A sms loop will happen.
It is not a question of SMS application... The SMS is working ok as long as there is no APP that will try to send automatically an SMS. I did install a different SMS client App but I guess the applications are using the Android API's so it is probably why this is still failing.
As the initial post said, the APP is sending the first SMS message but then nothing else. Also the SMS is working properly if manually sending them before that first automatic message. As soon as an automatic message is sent all other manual attempts to send SMS messages are failing. The messages are remaining in "sending" state until the phone will be rebooted. Following the reboot all manually SMS messages that were in "sending" status are being sent.
Hope this clears the problem definition!
Does anyone know if there is a bug in the version 2.3.3 that is related to this issue? Any idea if there is a 2.3.4 version for Xperia X10 that is coming out soon?
Hi guys,
I am using two phones with the same phone number. This is a service which my telecom provides. I can make calls and use data on both of them. However, only my main device can receive the SMS messages. Can you suggest an app that can mirror the SMS messages received so I can read them on my other phone too?
Any message forwarding apps are not relevant because as I said my second phone does not receive SMS messages.
Thanks!
