On my unlocked Dash I get a text message everytime I get a voice mail, does anyone know how to turn this off? I get about 20 VM's per day so you can see how this would bother me.. I hate getting a Text Message for every Voice Mail.
Please Help or I may end up switching back to my Blackberry which I don't want to do..
Thanks

Thats more of the telco problem, not the phones.
I never had this problem before when I was using my blackberry? Only since I switched phones to my unlocked Dash do I get the text message for voice mail.

It's something related to your carrier, not the phone. The phone isn't sending itself a text message. Maybe the Blackberry receives a SMS notification of voicemail that is handled differently, and your Dash is receiving it as a text message... Have you signed up for Blackberry service with your carrier? Have you updated your account to non-Blackberry service? Who's your carrier? Have you contacted them at all about this?
I am using Rogers in Canada. I have a blackberry account as I am using BB Connect since my company won't allow us to connect to the exchange server directly.
I have talked to Rogers and they said it have to be the phone. We I get a VM, i get the little VM message at the top of my home screen so that is working it is just the darn text message that bothers me..
just double check.. is it a text mesage that goes into your Inbox, or just a notification bubble?
Anyway, if it is a text, a quick and dirty way to solve is temp is to have a SMS blocker in place, to filter out these messages.
Hey cool so is that is piece of software SMS Blocker? if it works like email filtering that would work.. Where can I find a SMS Blocker or is a function of the phone?
Thanks great idea!!
The reason you get a text everytime you get a new voicemail is because your "unlocked" phone does not support the the MWI ( message waiting indicator) that your mobile provider uses. I have T-mobile and they use the reel to reel icon that pops up on the top of the screen when you get a new voicemail. If you have an unlocked phone it may not support the icon your providers phones use.
I've had numerous phones with this company(by choice). I am currently using an unlocked phone that was configured for another carrier's network, some of the features do not work the same, including the Message Waiting Indicator. The goods new is you can probably stop this by having your mobile company take the Message Waiting Indicator off all together. But the Bad news is, then of course you will not be notified when you get a new voicemail.
It's a feature of the Rogers network. I have it on my account too. Still debating whether I like it or not though. I think it's part of the "WhoCalled" feature they have, but I'm not sure. It's definitely part of your Rogers service plan though.
Temp Fix for Rogers network SMS after VM
Hi, I had the same problem. It was really getting to me. Now using phone guard 1.09
Works well.
After download, DONT fill in the country code, or area code screen, just leave blank.(or you will not recieve calls, they will be send to vm, ????not sure why)
On the block screen, fill in ( [email protected] ) {for rogers} in the tel sms #, Name it what ever you want.
No more text after vm.
Later
p.s. the program runs in the back ground. Uses the least mem though.

Hi all,
very strange this. There are four users of XDA-devices in my office (all on T-Mobile), myself (XDA2s), an XDA2, and two Imates (the XDA2 ones). Now, at random times throughout the day we will all recieve a text message with no sender number, but the text of the message is '13779538669'. I have never received this message on my other mobile phone (SE K700i, Voda), and I don't receive it on my Nokia when I use my T-Mobile SIM card in there!
I also only receive this message when I'm in this particular area (WA15, Hale, Cheshire), although a colleague says he gets it when he goes near Manchester Airport (5 miles from here).
What the hell? I know, I wouldn't believe it either unless I'd seen it happening but I promise you, it does happen!
In case you don't believe me :

Its possible to send no-number SMS messages from services like http://theSMSzone.com
Maybe one of your friends is playing a prank on you?

Thanks for the reply. It seems unlikely that this is a prank, as four different people get the message and only when we are in the office, or near to the airport! I think it's a broadcast from somewhere nearby, I dunno, I'm still confused :?
Can you check what message centre the message is coming from?
Are these messages Premium-based ?(do they show up on your bill?)
Vodafone NL is unable to send out messages with the normal four-digit numbers... (5 for the uk). Instead they use eleven-digit numbers...
Perhaps in the UK it's the same?
I'd check if you have to pay for receiving those messages...
On the Vodafone website you should be able to retreive info on who's using the specific number...
Goog luck!
might be sent via bluetooth (could be an ad that hasnt displayed right) or it can be send from the internet witch sounds most likley

Agreed.
Especially since SMS's like these seem to be free coming from theSMSzone.com
Hi,
thanks for the replies, and sorry for the delay in me coming back! The messages aren't coming from a Bluetooth device, because my Bluetooth is always switched off unless I'm in the car.
I don't know how to find the service centre they're coming from, can anybody tell me how?
The messages do not appear on our bills. One thing I've noticed, now that I've upgraded to the 1.40 ROM, is that the sender now has a name of 'Network' rather than blank as it was before.
Obviously there's no harm in these messages, but they're a pain and I'd like to work out where they're coming from to satisfy my own curiousity[sp]!
my uncle has the same thing qith hi unlocked xda2i
he has a t mobile contarct and the messages seem to come fromthe network,
i will have to speak to him to find out why and when they come, but my advice is to ask tmobile about theae messages as i belive there comming from them.

Hi Ariel,
thanks for your post, and great to hear someone else has this problem and not just us! I spoke today to our service provider, who'd never heard of this before, so he spoke to T-Mobile who also claim to have never heard of this before. They want me to keep a log of dates/times when the message appears :roll: , so that's what I'll do.

...have you tried to disable cell broadcast in your phone settings menu? this looks very much like a cell broadcast message, i can enable this on my german vodafone used device and get the area code on this way but i get also lots of bull**** notifications taht way. go to settings/phone and i guess its the third tab on the bottom (maybe fourth) where you can find channel settings for cell broadcast - unable it and it should be gone.
feedback welcome!
cheers, lutz

Hi Lutz,
thanks for the suggestion. I'm on the 1.4 ROM, so there are five tabs at the bottom of that screen; Phone, Services, Network, Band, More. In More, there is Broadcast Channels, and this box is unticked.
Thanks again

I tried to sent a text message and, after a slight delay, got the following:
Your text message cannot be sent.

Is there some sort of app or registry setting that I could change that'd ask if I wanted to resend the message? Having to retype in messages is rather annoying.
According to this post Windows Mobile 6.1 added this feature but I don't see it and I'm running 6.5. Maybe the HTC TouchFlo 3D interface removed it?

It doesn't retain a copy of the message in your drafts folder, or outbox...? Whenever I get that message I can just pull it up from there and hit send again
Whenever I get this message, after trying to resend it a few times, I realize I tried sending a text to an email address.
Make sure the number has an area code as part of the number.
Just another possible solution.
Is it for all text messages? If its a specific number sometimes the persons number is disconnected

this is the correct answer...if you have a good signal and you get that error msg, then that person has not paid their billy bill...
This problem comes up quite often if you've flashed a different radio onto your device. If you have flashed a custom radio, try out another or stock. If that's not the case, you might be in a poor coverage area. Both are common culprits, but may not apply for you.
SMS doest go to outbox folder
I have the same problem
When I have no service coverage I would like to type sms messages and as soon as I get it make phone send them all out. But unfortunately, when I don't have service HTC touch pro 2 keeps trying to send sms out and after a couple of attempts gives me message that it was not able to send it. I have to click on each message and resend it when I have service. Instead, I want my phone to put all sms into outbox sms folder and send them all when I actually have service.
I know other phones perform this function well. I went thru all settings but couldn't get it to put sms into outbox when no service available.
Does anyone have fix for that?
Also having a similar problem
Hi all,
Same, or similar thing with me. I'm on Vodafone in the UK, and I've got a friend who is on '3' in the UK. If I text him with a new fresh message, and hit send, it goes to him no problems. If he replies and I attempt to reply back - then I get "Your message could not be sent. Try again?" underlined in red. Tapping on this just generates the same problem again and again.
I've tried his number with/without spaces in it, ensured his contact name has no non-alpha characters in it, tried his number in +447xxx format as well as 07xxxx - all to no avail.
It does not happen with any other contact in my phonebook and I end up having to let the message fail, then forwarding my reply to him, so it leaves my device as a new message.
Now, as it's the UK, its nothing to do with him having not paid his bill (we don't get charged to receive SMS in the UK), and I've got great signal (I work for a Vodafone associated company and we've got a cell on-site, so it's full signal of HSUPA for me).
I am completely at a loss to understand why this happens - I have other friends on '3' that SMS's go to fine, so I'm guessing it's not a Vodafone to '3' issue either.
Any ideas anyone?!

PS: Stock ROM running WM6.5, unlocked GSM, nothing odd about the configuration/software either!
...bump.
Anyone?

change your network setting for automatic to manual. and enable call waiting now your problem is solved. i was suffering from the same problem but now solved
I have an unlocked Desire, my mom has an iPhone 4, we're on a family plan on AT&T in the US. I can send/receive picture messages to/from everyone, she can send/receive picture messages to/from everyone, we can send text messages to each other, I can send picture messages to her, BUT SHE CAN'T SEND PICTURE MESSAGES TO ME. When she does, my phone's screen comes on and the "H / 3G" icon lights up to show it's downloading something, and then no message shows up. It doesn't say "downloading error" or anything, it just acts like nothing ever happened. However, I had a few of my friends with iPhone 4's to send me picture messages and they always worked perfectly. AT&T tech support has no idea what's going on, except perhaps it's some weird server issue due to her being on an iPhone plan and me being on a regular data plan and us being on the same family text plan. But no one really knows. Before she had the iPhone she had a Motorola KRZR and we never had this issue.
Anyone have ANY IDEA what could be going on here? She thought maybe I accidentally changed something in my phone settings to block MMS's from her phone number, but I'm not sure that's even possible. Any thoughts?

It sounds like an issue with MMSC Router Profile for those devices and related to a CUG or call user group glitch. Are you on a " Family " Plan?

Yes we are. My dad is also on the plan, and it works fine when he tries to send me picture messages, and when my mom sends him picture messages.
Hi everyone,
I'm using a GSM version of our GN. I only use Google Voice as I change carriers very often therefor I never want to give the carrier phone number.
When receiving a call on ICS we have 3 options:
- pick up
- Decline
- or send a quick preset text message.
Is there a way to make the phone send the text message out of GV and not the carrier Caller ID?
I'd pay for an app to do just that.
Thanks
turn off texting on the phone altogether and it forces GV to send any texts...but you lose MMS capability...
when you choose to send text, does it ask you if you want to send it through GV or regular? probably not if the call comes in on your regular number...try having someone call your GV number and send them a text to see which number shows up...
if that works, just use the GV number for everything
Yeah the text reply is useless because it uses the built in texting and not the GV app. That was the case when I tried it a year or two ago it might have changed now but I doubt it.
Also GV has MMS now (receiving).

I've heard rumors some people can get MMS. (through some kind of forward to gmail setup) but it's never worked for me.

Not quite... you can receive MMS from a Sprint sender. That's it. Your provider doesn't matter, nothing else matters. Only Sprint senders.
None of my friends have Sprint (or anyone I know really) so for all intents and purposes GV still doesn't have MMS (at least for me).
On a similar note...does anyone else feel google treats Google Voice as a red headed stepchild?
I have been using a year and a half old version of the app because it's the only one that treats the back button as an actual return to main screen button...instead of some funky cycle through every previous text button. It is also the last version to handle notifications correctly (newer versions keep the notification in task bar if you reply to one online)
I've tried setting my phone to use GV as the default way to send texts, but still see he same bad behavior with Verizon texts being sent from quick messages. Sucks!
Probably will need an updated dialer from google, but if anyone has any other ideas I'll try them...

I don't think so. I receive MMS from people all the time in my inbox (Sprint and non-Sprint). You have to make sure email notification when you get a text is on I think.
I searched here and google and saw only a few hits on google, but there wasn't much information. I recommended a Robin when they were on super-sale a few months ago to a friend. She is a teacher and says that several parents who text her aren't getting through, although she can text them on her Robin using T-Mo SIM. She said that the T-Mo guy said he wasn't familiar with the Robin and told her to get a new phone
I told her that it sounded impossible since all text, voice and data is universal and that a phone should not be able to discriminate what carrier the text originated from.
I had her DL Android Messenger and try that as her text app and she said "it didn't work" although I didn't press her what exactly didn't work w. the app because we were emailing each other. Also had her restart. I asked her if she knew if these VZN/ATT people were on iPhones (maybe the people were trying to text her on iMessage (or whatever the iOS text app is called?) but she wasn't sure. She also has access to a Verizon flip phone that her brother has and she says that indeed texts from his phone don't go through to her phone.
She's going to let me look at the phone this weekend and I plan on checking if there are any filtering or settings that might be causing her not to get texts from VZN or ATT phones and then clearing the text app's (not sure what the default text app is on the Robin) data. She says that she can get texts from T-Mo and she will be bringing the brother's VZN phone for me to test. I will report back what / if anything that I find in this thread.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions what might be causing this / have ever heard of such a thing?
TIA
