[Q] Broadcast Messages - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi!
I have an Xperia P. In gingerbread rom there was an option to enable cell broadcast messages, it was disabled in jellybean. In low cost phones (Nokia symbian etc...) these messages used to show your current position based on tower broadcasting signal on home-screen. But in android (xperia p gingerbread rom) messages pop up making it annoying. I was wondering if there is any widget available that can show latest broadcast-ed message, yet avoiding pop ups.

[Q] SMS and Call forwding Apps stop working in X10 2.3.3

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?

How to turn of Cell broadcast in HTC Desire X Dual T329w ?

Hi All
Can anyone guide me how to turn off CB messages in HTC Desire X Dual with Android 4.1 and Sense 4+. Its not in Settings>Call> CB turn off/On like other JB 4.1 Sense 4+ running HTC devices.
Thanks in Advance.
HI, this is a good phone.
I satisfied the still camera, music through headphone, performance and other features.
If anyone got problem with cell broadcast sms or service messages, just first save the channel in any name and just block that channel in message block list. If can't block in default sms application, just download any sms application from android market ( i used Handscent sms) and block the channel

Sony disables MMS when data is disabled. By design? Other makers does not?

Hello and sorry if the thread got in the wrong section.
I just both a new Sony Xperia XZ1 compact with Android 8 (xperia original) and I have encountered an odd behavior which is very annoying.
I can't send or receive MMS if Mobile Data is disabled, in all my old phones (even sonys) the phone automatically enabled the MMS APN when sending or receiving an mms, I get charged for the mms when sending, and receiving is free of charge.
But on my xz1 this is not possible as I need to enable Data every time, the phone syncs and I get charged for data usage.
I tried another android 8 phone and it worked as intended so the question is, is this a bug or oversight from Sonys part or is it by design?
Do other makers disabled mms to when data is disabled?
Why? It has worked for 10-15 years, why change it now?
