I have the AL00 Mate 10 rebranded to the international L29, which I'm using in the US. Recently discoverd that when going through contacts or the recent list when texting you get an Invalid Recipient error. After some research I read the issue lies in the way numbers are formated.
The most common solution given was to use a different text message app other than the default. However, one person gave a simple suggestion that most seemed to ignore, just add a 1 (for US users) before the number.
586-555-1234 will not work.
1-586-555-1234 will.
Just a heads up for anyone other than me experiencing this.
confirmed, Mine does NOT have this issue however, my wifes does! We bought hers from a reseller in texas, I bought mine from Germany, I haven't compared anything about the phones at this point. We've just been using them. They are both BLA-L29 Pro Dual SIM version.

Hello,
I upgraded my T-Mobile USA to latest ROM and radio and somehow according to T-Mobile website I recieved like 500 incoming SMS messages which never appears on my phone but still billed on my account.
All of them are coming from some weird 4 digit number 3213 or 3208 according to T-Mobile website. I'm completely puzzled what is happening.
Anybody has any ideas?
G
P.S. I already called T-Mobile and they told me that they are going to investigate within 2 weeks and did not give much explanation of what is happening.
- I've just checked my account...sorry, I'm not receiving any SMS messages on huge quantities that are not appearing on my phone.

Check other posts on this site some other people have had this problem, i do not remember what the solution was but i'm sure there is one.

I wonder if anyone can help, or at least tell me if they have the same problem. My Tytn, which came with the original shipping ROM (1.18.255.3) has the issue with Vodafone voicemail etc of not giving any text message alerts, so I had to use the ringback service. So, I upgraded my vodafone account to the new Vodfone Mail (see www.vodafone.net), and all was solved- got the text messages, as well as the tape symbol.
However, I've now upgraded my ROM to the SA one (1.35.255.2), and all message alerts have now completely disappeared again. This is a bit of a disaster, but i really don't want to downgrade my ROM again if I can avoid it.
Anyone had the same problem in the UK? Any solutions? Pleeeaase??!
I'm having exactly the same problem as you. Before the upgrade, alerts via 242 worked perfectly. Now I get nothing. I've changed it back to 121 and still no alerts in any way shape or form.
Annoying, as this ROM upgrade was worth doing up until this.

I posted the upgrade from South Africa.
I am sure that the Service Provider plays a big role in the messaging displays. I am on the Vodacom network here which is 50% owned by Vodafone and this upgrade works perfectly here. I further believe that this upgrade was tweaked by HTC to match our requirements and solve the issues we had with the TyTN units on our local networks.
I do beleive that Vodacom is far bolder than Vodafone as I think we had HSDPA running here before the UK. The only problem here is the high costs of our mobile services. Vodacom in SA has about 20 million users.
I hope this give an insight on the problem as posted.
Good luck!
Thanks- helps us understand the thinking behind the new ROM upgrade. I only wish that HTC UK were not completely useless, then we migt have a localised ROM which works with Voda.
In the meantime, I've had to go back to "alert and deliver" which means the phone rings incessantly until you answer it to listen to messages. Otherwise the new ROM is great.
I even spoke to HTC UK to ask where to get the new ROM from. They said "our distributers", which is about as helpful as a chocolate fireguard as the only *big* seller of HTC branded products in the UK is expansys.... who told me to go to HTC. Oh the joys of using cutting-edge equipment!

Yes I must say we have a very on the ball distributor in Leaf Wireless. They have managed to fine tune the product to work correctly on our networks.
Good luck with Vodafone!
On stock T-Mobile G2 I seem to be missing some SMS's from my wife. This has happened on at least two occasions and she has received a delivery report each time. Yesterday this happened when she was sat next to me on a train and sent me a text. In each case I had used the phone recently for text or voice and was using it for 'other things' e.g. in an app or a menu, and had signal. Anyone else noticed this?
Well, thats strange cos thats exactly what I am suffering from. two separate people apparently sent me a text which I never received them and don't know where it had gone. Just about to look at "3" help to see if there is anything there about it, but looked like I am not the only one and it isn't network related.
I have "sms popup" to notify me of any messages - I was thinking that might have broke something. do you have sms popup installed?
(using sim free hero)
The very first text I (should have) received was eaten, too. I honestly have no idea how many others are missing because I haven't talked to the people I have been texting yet.
That was before I had any apps installed at all.
Mine did the same yesterday. I have also had an hour delay on receiving a message and it didnt arrive until I sent another.
Well I have lots of apps installed but never 'SMS popup'. Problem happened again this eve- Mrs texted when I was on the tube (out of signal). She got a 'pending' and a 'delivered' report. I got squat. As she points out, texting is a core function that you need to be able to rely on. Any ideas what we can do to get this bug addressed? What ROM are people using?
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06U_6.35.04.25

Build number: 1.76.405.6 146733 CL#47214 release-keys
Software version: 1.0.0.A6288
Come to think of it, I was texting back and forth with someone the other day and they never replied to a question (my last text to them). They are usually very reliable about replying... uh oh :/
Same thing here.. At least two texts that I'm 100% sure has been sent to me. (talked to the people later)
This is not good.
Just adding my missing texts too.
No SMS pop up installed and 100% sure they were sent.
Missed at least two!
Orange UK.
Same here. Message dissipated into the aether during the sending process. 3 (= Hutchison) Hong Kong.
My firmware shows the same labels as kiz
@ Sku11y : what does your firmware labels say? (although to be honest this seems like an HTC rather than network customisation issue)
Same issue here.
I've SMSPopup installed
I'm aware of 2 sms that didn't arrive.
When that happened, the SMSPopup window came up with an old message from a different contact.
Its happening to me too
I've got the standard unlocked version using Orange, popup sms installed but I don't thinks it's the software since reading this thread. Often I've seen an old text popup several times, I'm beginning to think these were new sms and I just haven't seen them. I text for a 241 film ticket this morning and thought I had no reply so sent the request again and Orange replied I couldn't have more than one ticket each Wed so their reply went missing.
this is looking like a phone software fault to me.
Best thing to do is to get in touch with the network to determine that it is definitly a phone fault.
Delivery reports are sent to the sender when the receiving network has received the message (auto send notification that they have received the message) and then they pipe this down their network to the recipient.
If the network are receiving the messages, but not able to send them to your phone they might be getting an error message, so should be able to shed some light on the situation.
Would be good if we know what networks everyone is on who is having a problem and whether its the unlocked version or locked to network...?
I'm on o2 with a unlocked T-Mobile G2, not having any issues that i'm aware of.
It's a bug for sure!
2 days ago i opened a ticket regarding this problem and today after a few mail i got the following answer:
Dear valued HTC customer,
We know this this issue with sms but there is no update to fix yet. You could check the web site for future hotfix.

Just seen one of the later replies too, pretty poor on HTCs part if they know about the issue but don't seem too bothered to fix it!
At least they are aware of it and not denying all knowledge!, Lets look on the bright side.
@Birba That's great news. Where did you report this to HTC?
Thanks
On www.htc.com under support.
I have also reported the problem to them, I suppose I ought to tell Orange. The trouble is I am using my o2 SIM, so there won't be a record of many texts being sent...
Unbelievable!
I can't believe HTC actually released a phone that is chewing sms messages and not done a very urgent fix by now! Thats the whole point of a mobile phone that has been doing sms for years- otherwise I might has well stick with a cheap basic nokia that can do a proper job!
On the side note, I remember with my old htc touch diamond (winmo), the sms if I was unable to receive it was stored onto the sim card when the phone becomes available. The device never did display any notification nor did it appear as "unread" - it "just" appears on the message list screen.
Perhaps thats whats happening - the sms is on the sim which android doesn't have access too?
Hello,
I have a problem with the band/network of the k10000 PRO.
So I want to reinstall the ROM (official of Oukitel).
I have installed the driver MTK for windows, FlashTool v5.1724 (I have tried with older version too).
I have downloaded the Oukitel K10000 PRO official ROM.
When I click on upload I have an error STATUS_SEC_DL_FORBIDDEN (0xC0020003) with DA_PL.bin
and STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003) with MTK AllInOne
I have test with VOL+ pushed but nothing.
Any Idea ?
I am on Windows 7 64 bits.
Thanks
It's good now.
Just NOT check preloder and upload normaly.
But always, I have my network problem (band problem). The phone work only on the 1800 Mhz frequency. Very few time I have network. Only in big city...
I have a crash of com.android.phone when I try to change the band for the MTK processor.
When I type * # * # 4636 # * # * it's work. I can change network but modifications disapear when I come back in the Menu .
If I clic on Phone Information (normal menu to select EURO band) it crash (com.Android.com).
In the youtube videos, this is the menu where they correct the problem.
I think the best way to resolve the problem and know if it's material (physical) or software it's to try the Rom Stock of nougat. But I want to keep the Oukitel ROM.
I know there is one user have exactly the same problem (com.android.phone crash at the the menu).
I have try to disable the automatic time but nothing.
Very disapointed of this new phone.

I have same problem. I dont know what can I do, because Oukital official not answer to my email.

Yes, I have sent a 5th mail today (in china language).
I have found a lot of video of the problem :

I hope they will sent an update quickly....
I received my Oukitel K10000 Pro yesterday and noticed quite soon that the cellular reception is quite bad. It doesn't want to work inside the house at all. Never had reception issues with my previous (actually still current...) LG Nexus 4. I can make phone calls from the balcony but that's about it. Marginally better reception there?
Also the phone makes weird chirping sound during phone calls ~0.5s in the 2-3kHz range, one chirp every 2 minutes?
During the phone call I noticed that If I moved inside where the reception was bad, I could still hear the other person speaking but I was muted. Not familiar enough with GSM technology to say if that's even possible/reasonable
Made comparison of the received signal strength value and both phones show up at
-87...-97dBm asu ~10
UPDATE:
- I haven't touched the Android image at all so its the stock one.
Hello,
Very strange (for the problem of listen someone else). I think it is just a temporally problem. I had this problem occasionnaly but not since some years....
It is very difficult to find someone who have an k10000 pro who works correctly...
Regards.
hello..i have the same problem in greece too......the phone is really amazing......the only thing is the signal reception....when i am in the city is full....when i go outside is nothing....bands are missing from the software or the antena of the phone is problematic ? i see that this is a problem to many of us in europe....people from france,slovenia,albania,slovakia,finland all have the same problem......oukitel should make an update to the firmware adding new bands and then if still dosent work then it will be the faules antena.....but first we have to se if this is a band missing problem.........its a pitty for this amazing phone ......
UPDATE:
I just got my K10000 Pro back from warranty repair. My retailer contacted Oukitel and they suspected it could be a bad antenna cable (they had some bad batch?). So that's what they changed for me and the issue went away. Really happy for my phone now \o/
Hello,
Who is tour reseller ?
Thanks
I bought my Oukitel from e-ville.
PS.
I'd have added a link but the forum didn't allow.
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
OK thanks. Me on Gearbest. The phone as returned but no news actually.
waiting for new antenna..lets see....
Same issue, opened up the phone. The antenna cable was broken. Sending it back for repair is not an option since it costs way too much. bought from tinydeal lets see how they react to it. Need to find the antenna cable. Could not find it locally.
Made a video when i was opening the phone
If you wanna look at it search for in youtube
Oukitel K10000 pro Signal Issue !! found the problem
Cannot post link i am a new user
Hello,
After 3 weeks in silence, Oukitel send me a message to me with Facebook. It confirm I have a problem of antenna. So now, the problem is known for them.
They want to send me the antenna (free) but I have return the phone to gearbest and I was refunded.
So, it's too late for me.
May be the max or an other brand now...

you are lucky to be able to get a refund, i checked with the shipment from my country it is almost half the price of the phone. My money is at waste. If anyone looking for a phone with antenna issue and can bear the shipping costs i will gladly mail them.
For send it to Asia (From France), it cost 36 euros. Paypal as refunded me 30 (the max). So it cost at the final, 6 euros for me.
If you paid with paypal, you can ask them 30 euros for the shippement.
Regards.
Same problem here too.
For few months now, I am getting robocalls from spoofed number, classic case of neighbor spoofing. Has anyone figured out how to address it?
I usually do not answer the calls and have deactivated voice mailbox as well, but sometimes I expect phone calls where I am not aware of the number. At that moment, I don't know if I should answer the call or not.
For example, last week, I was expecting a call back from the doctor. They have multiple numbers in the practice and I don't any of those numbers. I have central number only. The doc tried calling me 5 times but I didn't answer the call because the number was not known to me. Finally, he sent me a mail on the portal and asked me to call back. So I did. I apologized profusely and luckily, he didn't mind as he is facing same issues.
I am trying to avoid such situation again.
Apps like Robokiller and similar haven't worked in my case. I have Pixel XL, fully updated, rooted but as many claim, I never get red screen on spam calls. I am using Hiya (free) too, but it isn't of much help either. I am on at&t MVNO Airvoice Wireless, if it makes any difference.
Thanks for all ideas in advance.
