hi there, just noticed the last 2 days i am not receiving any sms at all???? with O2 ireland. does anyone know what it could be????? Thx
to mine happens sometimes...
then i do a softreset and i can receive sms again...
SMS not coming through
I am experiencing the same problem for some time now -
see my post "receiving only some SMS"
It is not SW related - happens on a freshly Hard Reset XDA -
i have upgraded the Rom - which made no difference
I have handed it in to O2 for repair twice - no difference
they have now agreed to exchange it
pattern is at follows
if the XDA is off (not the phone in flight mode) and the signal is weak - it will switch on on receiving the text but loose the network, re- aquire but no SMS notification will be there and no SMS - the sender will get a delivery message. Interesting - if you send two SMS consecutively (before it can switch off again) ONLY the second SMS will be received.
Worryingly there are quite a few posts here that describe that problem but no solution which makes me wonder if this is a general bug of the XDA

to be honest i'd say this is not phone related. i'm in england on O2 UK on contract, and a number of my friends are on O2 both PAYG and contract, we often have difficulties in not receiving messages, mostly between each other (i.e. other o2 phones) and occasionally other networks, messages do not comes through at all or sometimes hours late.
this seems largely to do with o2 PAYG more than anything tho.
sorry to correct you -
this is not related to O2 - on a different phone I receive ALL text messages -
in the XDA the failure is network independant - not receiving messages on pay as you go as well as on post pay sim
several posts here describing the XDA failure
point is that messages are not received on wake up of phone. Although the phone and the SMS server think they have received / delivered.
If you have a problem as well - please let O2 know about it (either via the O2 XDA support) or via their repair contractor.
What was the solution for me is that I did a hard reset, restore the backup I made with Sprite Backup. After it was finished I ran the program cleanmail.exe from Sprite ( http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=141&back=browse.aspx#p17 ).
Now I receive all sms messages!
THANKS
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!! I finally did a hard reset and upgraded sprite to 3.14. Now sms are coming thru. have also downloaded sprite clean mail so i hope in the future if i have to restore a backup the sprite download clean mail will elimate this problem. Thanks again for all your thoughts and suggestions!!!!
you are one of the "lucky ones"
where the problem was caused by Sprite backup and where a clean of the mail DB sorted it.
keep monitoring this however as in my case - (and several others) - Sprite backup is not used and hard reset does not solve the issue.

I very frequently install trial versions on my pda before i buy the program. some are good some are bad...in any case i noticed that when I remove software from my pda a lot of debris is left behind and my pda is some what sluggish, registry....etc.... So i can only suggest to do a hard reset....and then re-install the shipping rom for your particular model. My pda is now running SWEET and is very Stable plus sms are coming thru!!!! So I am a happy man at the moment.
Not quite sure where the problem was with sprite.... I did a hard reset and did not install sprite on my pda. sms came thru. As soon as i installed sprite and did a restore my sms did not come through once again. Very simple it is two things....1 its sprite (3.14 working fine, the older version was the problem).......2 it was my config. In all honesty I did not have the time or patience to find out exactly where the problem lies (and hopefully I will not have to).
to contradict myself....it is phone related i have had the same problem to the extreme O2 replaced the phone twice and still have the same fault.
my nokia 6800 receives all msgs fine however. O2 won't accept there's a problem with the phone.
Hi,
I can't receive any text messages on the orbit. I can sned them thou and make and receive calls.
I called 02 and they said to take out the sim and clean it. If that doesn't work then I should check it in another phone to see if its the phone or the sim.
I checked it in another orbit here at work and both phones can receive text messages. My Sim however, when placed in either phone will not receive them.
Does anybody know of any settings that could be enabled that would prevent incomming texts on the Sim. O2 are useless, they dunno how to fix it. Only got the phone on Friday.
Thanks
Mick
I know there are a couple of threads about this already but mine is a little different.
I got O2 XDA Orbit from ebay - put in my VodafoneUK sim card and everything works fine, MMS, GPRS, Internet and even GPS (don't know if the last one matters) - I haven't upgraded or changed any software or anything but my SMS text messages won't work - they sit in outbox for a minute or so then I get the error msg "your text message cannot be sent".
Ant help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Silly question but does the actual phone work - ie can you call out OK?
Can you receive messages?
My Orbit will receive OK but not always send in a poor signal area.
Stew,
Sorted It!!!!
To your answer sloss yes everything else works but I know what it is now.
I tried Start>Settings>Phone>Services...Voicemail and Text Messaging...select and then Get Settings........BUT it actually receives the WRONG yes the WRONG message centre number from the network.
Got a friends UK Vodafone phone and just copied his message centre number and Viola it worked fine, I'm so happy I could cry!!
Just thought this might help some others who may be having this problem.
Hi all,
just upgraded my Treo750V to the official Windows Mobile 6 version.
Everything seems to be working fine EXCEPT for the fact that I cannot receive text messages.
I can make / receive calls.
I can write / send text messages.
But I cannot receive any.
If I change my sim card to another phone it is absolutely fine....
Anyone any ideas on that? It seems strange that receiving texts would fail.....
Best Regards
Martin
Hi guys,
First post, so, firstly, hello! I've been using this website for a while, you guys make some awesome themes and home screens!
As of last night, I cannot send, or receive, any text messages (SMS). I never send MMSs so I don't know if that works either. I've tried restarting the device, removing + inserting the SIM card, turning mobile signal off and on again, and nothing seems to work!
I'm on the HTC S620
It's essential for work that I can stay in touch by text message, and unfortunately, I can't find anywhere else that can help me.
Thanks
Do you have sufficient money on your account?
Check if your SIM works with an other mobile phone for this.
I too am having issues sending and receiving text.Mine came about after a factory reset. Which give me the message "text message cannot be sent".
