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!
I'm subscribed to weather forecast that comes in 3 text (SMS) messages every evening @ 10 PM.
When I swiched from wizzard to hermes, I noticed, that I got only one or two messages instead of 3 every night. I thought there has to be a problem with the device, so I changed it.
== BUT==
Now I have a brand new Hermes - and with the same problem!!! It just looses SMS messages. Several people have been complaining to me that they sent me SMS which I did not receive.
What would be the problem?
the first hermes ran WM6 black 3.01 with 1.41 radio and the second one runs WM6 black dymond with 1.40 radio. The only common thing is that both devices were treated with Oli's HardSPL 7.
p.s. when I put my SIM card into a nokia, I receive all 3 messages as normal.
PLEASE HELP!!!
I dunno if this will help at all but...
...try going into start>settings>phone>services(tab)
click on 'voice mail and messages' then tap the 'get settings' button.
It should get the SMS and voicemail numbers from the network.
Might help...but its a long shot.

That actually helped me in the past. For some odd reason my SMS's would get stuck in the outbox and not send, so upon advice like above, I clicked "get settings", and all was well. It hasn't happened in a long while, but it was solved by doing that.
it actually may be your sim card similar thing happened to me got a new sim card fixed it.
I had a very similar problem with normal ssmes not coming thru and smses being held in the outbox. The problem started when I changed to an AKU3 Rom. The old South African 1.35 Rom worked perfectly but as soon as I changed to their new AKU3 the sms problem started. I had also upgraded my Radio to the 1.41 Rom.
How I solved the problem was I got my sim card replaced (which I found didn't solve the problem). I then only installed the apps I really needed and didn't upgrade the Radio.
For the past 2 weeks I haven't had any problems, so maybe try hard reset your phone, and start by only running it as standard and see what happens, also maybe try downgrade your radio.
Ensure the you have a message centre assigned in the phone settings. If you cannot get it automatically, call your operator and enter it manually.
Hi rebel I have noticed the same problem...but it is regarding the SMS and MMS...so could be some operator incompatibility or sth...will try the"get operator settings" thing...but I think this won`t solve our problem, cause not receiving all SMS/MMS it is a thing...but not receiving just some SMS/MMS is another problem...

Hello to all!
I tried "get operator settings" and will report if there will be any progress. But I doubt, because if settings were wrong, than I wouldn't receive any text messages. But I can receive SMS, just not all of them.
It just makes me crazy.
@PC78: we're both using same network (Mobitel Slovenia). If you had exactly the same problem, than I guess it has to be some incompatibility between hermes and operator? I will contact them and ask for explanation.
In the meantime, I will flash my hermes to some old ROM with stoneaged Radio (1.03 or something). Let's see what happens ...
Greetings,
Robert
I have the same problem, could it be the HardSPL?
gh0st, where are you from? Till now, only users of Mobitel Slovenia reported this problem.
I don't know if it's hard SPL. But it's possible. Can it be removed from the device? I'm willing to try. But I need some instructions on how to remove it and bring the device back to the "factory" state.
regards,
Robert
...Hard-SPL?...what have the Hard-SPL to do with SMS/MMS?...I think it could be only an OS/Radio ROM problem or operator incompatibility but not Hard-SPL...
Regards,
Primoz
same problem here...
delayed texts and no sms recieved...
i found out that even i have signal on my cel, im out of coverage when contacted.. but this is intermittent
there are times its ok.. then not.. then ok..
this happens only when i upgraded my dopod 838 pro
thats why i ask experts here on other thread how can i roll back the original
setting of my cel.. specially the radio..
im from asia region... can anybody help me too..
i upgraded to 1.40 radio which i think suited only for cingular network or other else...
Hard spl olipro 2.10 etc...
I had problems with SMS wneh using Black 3.0, using LVSW (latest) now and have no problems.
I suggest you try using one of the LVSW roms instead of Black - try Elf's or Sleuth's variants as they are the most complete.
Also, the most popular shipping "new" radio out there is 1.38.00.10. Try that radio as well.
Hello guys,
A bad news, really.
It's confirmed: Hermes has some serious compatibility issues with certain mobile operators (networks).
I contacted a company that imports and repairs HTC devices in Slovenia. Technician told me that they are aware of the problem and are solving this "missing SMS" issue together with carrier (Mobitel) and manufacturer (HTC).
They didn't yet solve it, though.
This technician also told me that this problem is ROM-independent, so it does not matter if I'm using june 2006 stoneaged ROM with 1.03 radio or newest cooked WM6.
Greetings,
Robert
go into start >> settings >>> phone >>>services >>> click on voice mail & text messages and click on get settings
it will show you your settings for text message service center. Make sure there is a "+" sign before the number. for example + 1 (312) 314-9810 >>> this number is for cingular message center anyways "+" sign should solve the problem
cheers
thesame problems with sending sms or replaying and reciving.
even on orginal Era's ROM
Sometimes everything is perfect but when I tap replay, sms stucks in outbox.
Or sometimes when just wanted to write new sms.
Only SR helps.
my operator: Poland - Era gsm
Thanks for the replay Rebel...so my concern was [email protected] incompatibility problems...doooh...

I have had my hermes for only 1 week on T-mobile uk PAYG. Everthing works cool, but I have had a couple of calls from people why didnt you respond to "x" text message. they just did not ever come through at my end.
Guess this is the price to pay for having everything bar the kitchen sink in your pocket.
I can comfirm that I had this problem on Black Dymond (3.5) with certain type of sms.
with elf 2.1 crackberry all works well.
So it Is rom dependant.

p.s radio 1.40
OK So I've been using Handcent Sms for a while. And Every time I send a text to my friend on Bell, I get a pending sms notification. It never shows one saying that it was delivered. I'm a Rogers customer. Am I missing something. I know there used to be a prefix that you could put in front of your message and it would send them back but all the ones that I remember aren't working any more.
It does not work on both my GS3 or my Note 2.
Any ideas. Maybe other apps?
Thanks Ahead of time
Hi all. I am not on AT&T so I apologize for posting here but I wasnt sure where else to seek help. Hopefully someone may have an idea.
I recently got a phone on the Pelephone network in Israel. It is a Galaxy S3.
I am able to send SMS texts with no problem. I am also able to receive texts from other phones in Israel no problem.
For the first day or two everything went OK but then suddenly I stopped receiving texts from my friends in the US. They receive mine, but I cannot receive theirs.
My company tried diagnosing this with carrier. They insist everything should work. All the right plans are activated, etc. They even swapped out the SIM. After that the SMS worked fine again for about a day, and then, like last time, stopped working...so people in the US can still receive mine, but I cannot receive their replies anymore.
They are replying in the same way as in the past (replying to my text) so it did work...it just stopped.
I have tried a factory reset which didnt help.
Any ideas?
So I recently ported from Sprint to Verizon and now to ATT within a little over a month. After just completing the port to AT&T I am getting strange email notifications about a voicemail I missed which seems to be for totally different people.
No notifications are showing on my phone and when I check my phone it is saying I have none. However almost daily now I am getting email alerts and the voice message attached of a email to someone else.
When I hoover over the message on gmail it shows up as @smsvoice.sprint.com all coming from 724 area code. This didn't happen with the month I spent on Verizon, just a day or so after getting my number ported from Verizon to ATT and getting the phone up and going.
Phone is a LG G4, bone stock.
The software used to play the messages showing through email is called Smith Micro Software.
Would like to figure out why I'm getting these. If anyone has experienced this or knows what it is I would greatly appreciate it.
Hello,

The experts there may be able to help. Good luck.
It's more likely connected to the operator, rather than the phone.
