Hi Guys -
Quick questio n- sometimes when my phone range is poor and I send an SMS, it fails. No big deal. However it sits in the 'Drafts' SMS folder.
Is there a way i can get the IIs to automatically keep retrying to send the sms? cos what i'm doing at the moment is going in and re-sending it manually!
It's also annoying because i hit send, and leave the PDA, thinking that the sms was sent... and sometimes it hasn't!
I don't know of a solution, but I also wish there were some workaround.
A related problem I've discovered is if you use the NEW menu on the today scrren to send a mesage to a few people. If the sms fails for any reason whatsoever, you do not get any notification until you pen Messaging yourself, and then, you also don't know who did not receive the message..
One of those little annoying bugs..

is there any 3rd party sms software that could solve this problem?
I have upgraded to LVSW Windows Mobile 6 and satisfied with its performance. But the same SMS problem is still here.
When i get SMS and reply it using its REPLY option then following message appears:-
Your SMS cant be sent.
Your call barring settings are enabled.
But when i go to my contacts, select the name and then send him msg, SMS goes very fine without any error.
I did not had this problem with built in ROM at the time of purchase in TYTN. Its quite irritating as i communicate alot on SMS. I know there are alot of genuis people around, so any solution will be appreciated.

just a warning, your question will not be answered as you created a new thread. you should have posted this in the LVSW ROm thread.
sorry i did it in hurry. i take it to right place.
hello there, I have some stuff I'd like to change regarding SMS. I've got a P3300 with official WM6.
I'd prefer to change this through some options (tho I didn't find) or registry edit. If possible to do what I need without installing more (battery draining) applications, would be best, but if there is no other choice, I'll take a look at whatever application u suggest.
- when I am underground and I send an SMS, it tells me it can't be send, and the message goes into the temp. folder (dunno english name of this folder) and I have to resend it manually. I'd like it to resend automatically as soon as I have signal again. That's what my previous nokia phones did.
- when I send a SMS successfully, I get a popup and "ding" telling me it was send. I don't want this, I only want to know if there was an error. I send loads of messages, and this popup is rather annoying.
- since I have WM6, when i open messages through the today plugin, it always asks me if outlook, sms or mms... with wm5 it always went into the last one I used. I'd like this functionality back, is it possible?
is there any FAQ of different kind of tweaks that can be done with a P3300 wm6 just through options or registry? if yes, could you please link it, I'd like to take a look at that.
thx for everything

There is a tweak for this. Search and you will find it or else, i will try to find it 4 you this weekend.

Yes, this question has been answered be4 too. Search and you will find it or else, i will try to find it 4 you this weekend. I thought its possible...
hopefully you can find that info and give me a hand. i tried the forum search function but as i dont know exactly what i am looking for, my search is too generic and i get loads of results (most about tweaked roms) that don't help me at all.
EDIT: found answer to 3) by myself. SOLUTION: open messages, go into menu->tools->options and there you can setup the different types of message accounts you have. at the bottom is an option to enable or disable the account selector. i just turned that off.
For the SMS sent notification:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Inbox/Settings/SMSNoSentMsg and set it to "1".
With the mentioned registry edit, you are not notified if the message fails to send. It just tries it, and puts it in sent items. If it fails it will not be re-send again by WM6.
you can fix the SMS/OUTLOOK/MMS thing in Options in your Messaging program.
ok, thx to that registry edit i get the sms sent popup no more. but i don't get any popup warning if it fails.
i've heard something about a different regedit key, with different numbers like
0 = no warn
1 = all warns
2 = only bla bla bla warn
3 = only ble ble ble warn
etc.
any1 got an idea about this?
also, any way to have the phone re-send failed sms automaticaly when i have signal again?
i am at a point that i would also try some SOFTWARE if needed, tho i prefer if it can be done just by registry.
Not familiar with those options. But why don't you give it a try and report back here.

Got my Touch Pro 2 from MObile Phones Direct (in UK) last week Love it so far. But maybe it's meant to happen but when I send an SMS a copy appears in my Inbox with message prefixed by Me:. Wht's this al about then??
Its called "Threaded SMS" and shows your texts as a conversation.
I like it but I know some people don't.
There are ways to turn it off mentioned all over the boards.
i love it
because you can clearly see the history of the last messages and also it harder to get the wrong person you want to write a msg to ..
And how can i delete one message from thread?
thanks...
You can't, that's the special "Don't cheat on your wife"-option HTC has built in ...
No, kidding. When TF3D enabled click on the sms-icon in the bottom bar.
Click on the latest SMS recieved from the person.
You get a threaded SMS with at the bottom a bar in which you can see emails from that person, call history, etc.
Click Menu > Delete
Select the messages to be deleted
Click done
Yesss.
I didnt think that i can use the delete menu item to delete a message...
So a thought it is delete the entire thread.
Thank you!
Guys, about 90% of the time when i send a text message, of any size, to anyone, i get a 'message can not be sent' notification and the phone vibrates, this happens about 2-7 times before the text message is sent, and for each time it tries to send the text again, this amount is send to the recipient, for example if it retries 7 times i will send the message 7 times - very annoying
when using the froyo rom from both paul and richardtrip i did not have this issue, although i am almost certain this was due to the stock messaging app, i even tried using handcent on the froyo which i used on the stock and on the froyo it worked perfectly too, but handcent will not work on the stock rom.
so it seems to me that it is an issue with either the stock (sense based) rom or the htc messaging app
im on tmobile UK on a branded phone, this happens on any radio, both rooted and unrooted
does anyone have any advice, or know of a way to replace the htc messaging app with the stock android messaging app?
if i could get this sorted id be very happy, so i appreciate any help
thanks in advance
I've had this issue happen a couple of times aswell, not sure how to replicate it, it seems totally random, but i haven't seen a 90% change of getting it!
try a new radio lol
This happens to me if I use any messaging system other than the default one (e.g. handcent or chomp) and the signal changes whilst sending the message (i.e. H to 3G or E to G etc. etc.)
I am still using the default rom with the latest update as I am waiting for 2.2 before rooting
turn off GRPS/EDGE/ 3G Data

Had exactly the same problem on stock/sense based verions of romms. NEver had an issue on stock android messaging app, only with the sense one. Think it must be a bug with that app. I'm T-mo in UK to but have an unbranded phone.
dont resend it, just wait until the message is sent, the phone resends automatically, because if you click the resend, it will send another message. what i do is when i get that error message i just wait.
I'm getting this problem on my o2-uk Desire; they are sending me a replacement handset

Thanks everyone for your replies
So it is confirmed that it is an issue with the HTC messaging app but not with the stock android messaging app, and no messaging clients can fix this as they use the default messaging app.
Is there anyway to change the HTC messaging app with the stock android? I prefer it anyway it works much better, the official froyo release will also contain the stock messaging app which I guess will have the same problem.
I will try flashing a different radio
Setting the phone to WCDMA only does not fix the issue
I am having this problem, and also another which I feel might be related, it tries to resend the message, and it eventually goes. I have also noticed that quite a number of times when I try to make a call, it doesnt dial, it just goes silent and returns to the call register screen. Maybe both related to a siganl problem . Somebody suggested switching off Edge or whatever, but thats not really a fix, and why should you have to do this to send a text. ?

I agree, and I also experience the same problem, sometimes during a phone call the most strange sounds happen and then the call cuts out, I'm guessing is interference. Problems with calls, text messages, and the connection repeatedly drops when using the mobile internet, exactly the same problems as the hd2, they will not get fixed by HTC, speaking from experience.. very basic requirements of a phone still not being met
I have the exact same issue with both texts and calls that seem to take ages to connect and then just dump me back to the dialer. I've put it down to O2 being so awful but of people have the same issues on other networks id love to know

I get it off and on, but I let it be and the messages eventually get sent out.

Same here. I did the resending thing for a while, but now I just ignore those error notifications. The text messages arrive anyway

same. I get it 10% of the time. On a unlocked Desire with a UK T-Mobile contract. just leave it to send a couple times, put your desire on a window sill and it should be okay.
but i think the message is not automatically sent if you lock the phone. can anyone confirm this? my unsent message was still not sent when i locked my phone.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, i used to get this issue all of the time when using handcent or chomp. However, since doing the following i've not had it happen once in 2 weeks (where it would happen 10+ times a day before)
1) uninstall any messaging software you have downloaded from the market
2) download sms unread count and sms popup from the market
3) put the sms unread count widget on the homescreen
4) configure sms popup to your liking
5) send messages to your heart's content
This uses the default 'messages' app rather than anything else and works perfectly
