I have done a search and not found if there is a way to completely disable text messaging and/or SMS/MMS on my new tilt 2.
I have an unlimited data plan and still need to connect for that but I dont/wont use the messaging crap.
is this even possible??

I am on T-Mobile, so I'm not familiar with what AT&T can do, but on our network you can log in to your account at the website and disable text messaging. It won't be gone from the phone, but you won't get any text messages. I'm not sure if this turn of OUTBOUND texting.
Ill take a look in the registry for you, i think the most you'll be able to do is disable the messaging driver, but im not sure what that will do. ill be back in a bit
If you dont/wont use it... why even bother with disabling it? I dont think we're charged if we recieve a text only for sending. I could be wrong here though.
Are you worried about accidently opening a contact and typing out a message and sending it to them?

I just bought an evo and had it flashed to metro. So far talk, and data works fine, data is a lil slow but that was expected on metro. Just a couple of issues tho, one I cant receive text messages, but I can send them. Two, the speed dial to my mailbox (#1) is still set to the old number of the privious owner, and don't know how to change it.
Can anyone help me out? any solutions?
Thanks in advanced
Take it to the place you had flash it.
They told me I have to wait at least 24 hours since I ported my number from Verizon. So I'll have to wait and see. I'll post an update later if its working or not so if anyone else has done it, they're aware of the 24hr wait.
Ok so after a day and a half or so. Everything is working fine, and I'm really happy with the phone. Data, txt, talk on the $45 plan on metro.
Now I'm trying to get my email app to work. Works with wifi, but not with regular phone signal. If I use the yahoo or gmail mail apps, it works with regular signal which i dont mine having to user their apps, but still need to figure out how to get my pop email accounts from my shared hosting. I set up all the correct incoming and outgoing setting but keep receiving errors. Just any FYI for any other EVO on Metro users.
Glad im not the only one that had this issue, I just flashed my evo 3d to metro from sprint.
Everything works but receiving texts. I can only get texts from other metro users but no one else yet.
Ill give it a day or 2 to see
This has been bugging me for a while now. Certain areas of the building where I work are shielded in such a way, that my phone goes into roaming. I could have sworn that I used to be able to send SMS even while roaming on my old WinMo6 HTC Touch Pro 2. With Evo, whenever I try to send a text while roaming, I get an error message (something about connection or service)...
So... Should I be able to send SMS while roaming?
Hey, Ever since I got my Xperia arc it's had this problem, Basically whenever i try sending messages ( I usually get it at night ) they wont send, Like the person i sent it too doesn't receive the message and I don't get a little tick on the end of the text, I don't know if its a common problem but it's just annoying really because at around 10 o clock my messages wont send What's wrong with my phoneee
Well if it's happening at a specific time then, it's either your network or operator
It's definitely up to network.
On my network for example, if you're pre-paid user and your credit goes below certain amount (about 0.50 euros), and data transfer is enabled in settings, you can't send SMS messages. It's like network is reserving some credit for data usage, or whatever.
I must disable data transfer every time my credit reaches "critical" point, to be able to spend it all.

Are your APNs setup properly/fully ? (these setup the protocols for services from the phone to the operator)
Google - APN , Xperia Arc (and your operators name)
or find your operators website and find them on there and they can send texts to set APNs up
Of the two above - I would guess that your phones APNs arent setup , dont know your operator/country , so I cant take a search much further .
As a small test - get a friend to text you a picture , if your phone tells you that it is unable to download , then I`d say 100% its your APNs .
Hey, i have just installed the newest MIUI Australia 3.1.11v2 on my HOX, and i have one simple problem.
At first nothing worked, but after a few reinstallations, the only thing not working now is sms and data.
I can make calls, recieve calls and recieve sms's, but i can't send any sms's myself, and i cant get on the internet unless using wifi.
I updated my hboot to 1.39, and if there is anything else you need, just ask
Hope someone can help me.

If it was something with the APN, then why is it only data and sms that dosnt work. I can still make calls, and i can recieve calls and sms's.
Besides i already have the carriers name in the status bar.
What can I tell ya? Same with me, the carrier shows up in the status bar, I can make and receive calls, but no data. The phone recognizes carrier (virgin), it's just the proxy and ports that are missing in the APN. Easy to fix, easy to bookmark for future reference.
