hey, i recently upgraded from a G1 (dream) to a desire z, on ym old phone i got delivery reports for every txt i send, and it put a little green tick next to the txt and i could long press and see if it had been recieved.
I have selected the option on my desire z but i dont recive them on either standard messaging or on handscent sms. However wen i restarted my phone one time it decided to resend some txts that had trouble sending first time and i got the green tick and deliver report for them few. But when i started sending txts i didnt get the green tick delivery report, i only got it for the ones my phone resent.
Any1 got any ideas?

Hey guys,
Picked up a desire yesterday and its great, though I'm having some issues with sms. I notice I don't receive any texts until I send a text first, then I'll receive 2 or 3 texts, timestamped in the past, up to an hour ago!
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
edit: unrooted on o2
i get a similar problem, i know i should have received a text message but it doeant show up for hours.
unrooted on tmobile uk
Most likely when your phone is connected over GPRS the text don't come through till you disconnect, used to happen on my N95.
So if my phone is operating in GPRS mode, until it decides it doesn't need the internet anymore and disconnects, it won't retrieve texts... right. So any workarounds or fixes for this?
Prety much, after I use GPRS I just made a call and during or after the call my text came in.
Been getting this all day, are people really just dealing with this or is it only a few people that have this issue?
I am having another problem... on T-mobile, my phone won't download MMS messages. It will just say Download error, General Network Failure... After it expired (3days) , I was sent a link to the T-mobile website, where I am able to see it for 14 days.
Another problem that I am having, the phone is struggling sending long text messages... 4 or 5 normal lenght messages 500-600 characters... I am using the Text App provided with the phone.
I have a problem that I dont think is an actual problem I think its just how the phone works, and tbh its a bit rubbish.
If you dont have signal when you hit send (im my office at work I only get signal on a little square of the desk) the phone says "message not sent". Sometime when it gets signal it will send the message, but if it doesnt get signal quick enough it seems to just give up sending.... a bit lame really....
I'm going to post a message up with the T-mobile UK MMS settings so people in future can find it on search. Have a look in 5 mins.
JAmes.
I've got the same issue with my HTC Desire.
My operator is a Belgium one, namely Mobistar.
I've got the impression that when i open the sms box, i start seeing the messages. Don't know if it's the communication that goes wrong, or the 'throughput' in the phone (screen, alerting...).
After installing (and using of course) chompSMS, this problem is gone... yipppie...

I know in handcent you have to select the option to use carrier delivery reports...
Delivery reports show up fine for me... But I'm on CM6.1.1 so I really have no experience with sense
yea that worked thanx! i had it turned on in normal msges but it didnt work on that, turned it on on handscent and it works now
thanx
Hi all
Noticed this at xmas but got sidetracked and never brought it up.... until i tried to send a bulk txt this morning !
I have UK defy unlocked with t-mobile, stock ROM but rooted.
When i try to send bulk text messages they ALL fail!! i have to manually resend each one multiple times until i discovered that you need to resend them one at a time, but let each one actually finish sending before moving on to the next.
WTF??? is all i have to say about that...
has anyone else experienced this issue? any ideas how to resolve?
thanx
Apps on the market that are supposed to allow multi-text messages at once. Never tried. I have heard this complaint before with Defy. Not sure if it's been addressed in the latest update.
Hi all, I recently installed the excellent Ginger Villian ROM on my HTC Desire but have noticed an issue with the SMS time that is displayed when you receive a text.
Previously I have been used to the text displaying the time that the text was sent not the time my phone received it. Has anyone else noticed this?
For example, if I have my phone on airplane mode or turn it off over night any texts I receive in the morning show the time that I just received them (rather than when the sender sent it).
I have also tried using Handcent SMS but the same problem exists. Is this just a Gingerbread 'quirk' or is there a way to get round this? I know it's not a major problem to most people but I like to be able to tell what time someone actually text me...
Any help is appreciated.
I think I have found the solution myself (although will probably have to wait til tomorrow to test it)
In Messaging click Menu, Settings and then scroll to nearly the bottom of the list. There is a box that says "Use original timestamps" which says will "Display and store sent date instead of reception date". This sounds like it'll do the trick.
Hopefully this might help some other sad people out there who want to time sent like I do
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".
