Hello
I bought a Galaxy S anycall Korean and installed CM11, I can make calls, access the internet & receive text messages, but I cannot send text messages.
Since there is no option to check the SMSC number I entered *#*#4636#*#* and in the Testing - Phone information section
* there is no number next to SMSC, so I clicked on the "Refresh" button and the number +61418706700 appeared next to the SMSC, which is correct. I clicked on the "Update" button then exit out of this.
* When I go back the SMSC is empty again.
Is this a bug???
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi
I have written in numerous postings now and still has no idea how to work the sms. I am connected to Vodaphone and has received a couple of sms messages with no problem in my inbox. I have checked the network settings and it showed a call centre number which looks ok and certaintly I have received messages indicating that it is ok. However when I tried to send a sms, I could not even compose a SMS message. In the "New" command on the today screen, there is no sms message to select though I have the option of E-mail message there. I tap on a contact and "Send SMS" and there is just no response at all. Wonder if some kind soul could give me a detailed step by step way of sending sms thru the O2 XDA which I got but connected to Vodaphone?
Cheers

Hi
Sorry if you have already tried this.
Just go to new email. then press the the down arrows on the upper right of the screen by the subject box and change the service to SMS
then it will attempt to send sms's instead of emails.
HI
Thanks for reply. I tried tapping on "New" then "Email Message" and it goes straight to Inbox with my 2 sms messages that I had received displayed there. I tapped on the upper right hand down arrow and it showed "Sort by" with 2 options- From "Received date" or "Subject" and no option for SMS. Is this correct ?
Anyway- how does one compose and send email messages?
Cheers

Click on Inbox, then in the Upper LEFT of the screen you have the option to select ActiveSync (basically e-mail) or SMS. Select the Inbox section of the SMS part. You will then be able to select New from the bottom Left of the screen which will allow you to compaose an SMS. Remeber to click 'Send' and not OK to to send it! :idea:
Hi Matt,
Thanks for reply.
Got as far as the inbox option of SMS; it showed the 2 sms messages which I had received so far and when I click on "New" as instructed, nothing comes out of it.
sms
try pressing the green telephone handset button. press tools, press sms, enter number at the top, enter text, then send, if you click on tools, then choose options you can click for delivery reports.
Thanks for reply.
Pressing "Send SMS" at the phone menu give no response at all.
I seem to think that there must be an activating step for using sms; I have checked the call centre number and all that and everything is fine. Somehow I just could not compose an sms message. Not sure if I should hard boot the whole damn thing to return to factory defaults to see if it reactivates the sms mechanism. One question is will hard booting relock my XDA which I have already unlocked with the XDA manipulator?
Cheers

Hi all,
Just an update to the problem I had no more- a cold boot restored the full functions of the sms service and I still do not know which files were missing or corrupted.
Thanks for all help with answers anyway.
Cheers

How do I see from which number a Text Message (SMS) was send?
Here is the problem: A friend of mine wend abroad and is using a different mobile phone number. I saved the new number in the contact file under "Home2 phone". Now, if I recieve a text message I actually dont see were it came from, do I?
(Even after clicking on the Message it opens the contact but shows the mobile phone number, not the one it was send from.)
Thanks for anwser
When receiving the message, all you can see is the name of the sender.
When you click on the contact, it shows you only the mobile phone number because, theoretically you can receive sms messages only from mobile phone numbers. A stationary phone number cannot be used to send sms
Torque77: Wrong. You CAN either send and receive SMS from fixed lines in most EU countries. And Rose can handle it without any problems.
Gipo: Just hit Enter when the received message is selected. Contact card will open with proper sender's phone number highlighted. BTW in threaded messages is enough if you just simply hit "Reply" - it will be sent automatically to correct number. (In fact, every number - even different number of the same contact - creates a new thread).
EDIT: OOPS, you're right. It just shows the card without highlighting the number (having a look I saw a last call, not the message). Then only way is direct reply in the thread then. Nevertheless, it's simple and reliable.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry then. Guess Moldova is waaaay behind and this chapter.
No problem... Just an reminder. Nevertheless, you can't be sure, if it is a phone able to receive it (again - some operators forwards SMS as a voice message then).
At least at the moment you already know, that Rose can send SMS on ANY phone number stored with contact - if you have somebody e.g. with more mobile phones.
Yes, if you just choose a contact in the list and select "SMS" by right-left arrows, the mobile number is used. But if you hit Enter in Addresse field in empty SMS form, select an user, Rose will show you all available phone numbers for the contact and is able to send the message at any of them.
thanks guys
Hi peeps
In 1.6 i used to get this problem if i sent a single message over the quantity of two message lengths it used to fail sending and state could not send.
ITS GOT WORSE
in 2.1
if i send a message over the 1 message length (x amount of characters per message) it fails to send.
anyone have any ideas as to why this is or a solution please?
Not sure, but you're not the only one - X10 2.1 sms issue
Same problem here on 2.1 Nordic
More than 1 sms lenght and i get the same error
any solution???
Hi guys,
Try this and let us know how it goes, its worked for me!
Seems to be the SMS Centre number is missing, here's how to set it:
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.
I don't know if this helps but I've had this problem as well and I've seem to figure out mine. I use GSM/WCDMA preferred and I also use apndroid and when I disable my data, I can only send a single body message but when I need to send messages with two or more bodies I need to enable my data so I hope that helps everybody. apn droid adds apndroid to your apn name and changes the apn type so I think that's the problem.
Ok , this is embarrasing and totally driving me insane, and I cant seem to find anything on it.
I have a T-Mobile branded S2 and I can't figure out for the life of me how to manually enter the phone number to send a text message to someone.
When I tap in the space that says "Enter Recipient", my keyboard does not pop up at all!! I can choose my recipients from the phone book just fine, and reply back to any new phone numbers great, but how in the world do I enter a phone number there?
Click "enter recipient" area, your keyboard appears(swype or samsung - depends on what you chose), press "sym" on keyboard, it changes it in numbers, type in the number you want. That's it.

Ps: check if you have selected a certain keyboard (settings-language and keyboard-select imput method-choose one), maybe that is the problem why it doesn't pop up.

I am trying to set a contact number for Sim Change alert. But when I try to save the number, a little popup says 'Enter SMS'. What is this telling ?
My samsung account is created and could login to web as well.
You have to enter an sms message in the same menu. This is used to send you the message which you have set when someone changes the SIM in your phone
There is an option called "Alert msg" click on that and enter your message.
