Text Message Not Sent

Hey ive posted this before but no one replied.
It happens on a daily basis, i get a message cannot be delivered error despite having signal.. and it then takes about 8 retries before it sends! im on orange on a generic handset!
anyone else had this problem?

Had a similar problem and am also on Orange with generic handset, seems to be occurring with low signal strength but takes a couple of goes to resent even with improved signal.

Not an orange fault, happening here on t mobile, very annoying.

It never happened on my nexus one..
Gosh i miss cynogen mods!

It happens on mine (3 in Australia), although if I leave it, it tries to resend itself and does so rather quickly. If I manually retry sending while it's retrying, the receiver gets multiple messages.
It doesn't happen that often for me, probably every couple of days, but like I said it beeps saying failed to send, then tries again and it works with no intervention from me.

Yeah i noticed sometimes it resends its self, but also before now ive had like 7 failed to send sound notifications without me touching anything
Though yeah i managed to tell my mom that i was on the bus 8 times the other day!

had the same problem, with t mobile Rom. however normally re send it self after one go, and doesn't happen as much as it used to.

Same problem here, using a Vodafone Australia SIM on a Telstra-branded Desire. Happens way too often, even in areas where I have good signal, on both 3G or GPRS.
Wondering if it's related to my issue where the data connection just stops worked occasionally (though still shows connected).

Same here on vodafone. Really annoying.

Same here on Orange with Orange branded desire.

Like most people it seems, this happens to me once every few days. Sometimes a message will be really stubborn but will usually send if I manually retry.

Same here. 3UK on a Generic Desire.

used to get that ALL the time. basically on every message i used to send. worst thing was that they usually were sending an the recipient would receive the same message 3-4 times. since i upgraded to the desire though i've not had the problem once. i tried on multiple handsets before and same problem so the only thing i can assume that's made it better is the new sim card they sent out too. currently on orange uk using an orange branded desire flashed with the latest generic rom.

I've got the same problem too...i'm on t mobile. It seems to come and go so sometimes if i send a few messages in the space of a couple of minutes they will all not send the 1st time but send on the 2nd or 3rd attempt. But then other times it will be fine. Seems strange as it happens when signal is fine.

Ah, thought this was just me. 3 Mobile UK with a generic Desire here. Was sending messages this morning between 3 people and then it just decided it didn't want to send one message.

I sometimes have the same problem with sending more than one page text message and have to manually resend it and it sends - mines a unbranded unit from CPW. Also while we are on the subject of text messages, is there anyway to prevent the auto changing from text message to MMS after 5 text pages?. I get free texts and I am having to stop at 5 pages otherwise it just converts to MMS. Very annoying tbh!.

After rooting unable to send MMS while on WiFi

After rooting I can't send a MMS while on wifi. My APNs are correctly defined. When i turn of wifi it works like a charm. Any Ideas?
Thx.

Tried deleting the username in the MMS APN and now it works with wifi on too. STRANGE!
Anybody has any idea what's the cause of this erratic behaviour?

Only worked once, not working anymore

I have this problem too........but I had the problem before rooting too.

I didn't have it before rooting. I specifically tried yesterday sending a MMS while on WiFi and it worked. Today on a rooted phone it's a no go.
It's strange that it went trough once, with no username. Doesn't make any sense to me...

What network you on? I have my unrooted desire on T-Mobile UK and cannot send MMS. In testing and trouble shooting with T-mobile I have only sent 3 successfully out of at least 50!!
I have spoken with my local T-Mobile shop and they tell me a large number of customers have been complaining about MMS send failures (even thought they seem to send).
I have put message notification on for MMS and they all end up status pending. I can however receive MMS and send to myself with no problems.
Anyone else seen similar problems?

My carrier is Mobitel, Slovenia.
Can anybody confirm that after rooting his MMS is still working while connected to wifi networks?

T-Mobile desire
I rooted (cant be sure if this problem was not present before tho),
found i had problems with mms, some would occasionally get through (using handcent) although 90% would not, even though they would apper to have left my handset ok.
Some i sent to my brother arrived at his phone saying "unsupported format" which is odd, most other times nothing at would arrive at all !!
i then unrooted and flashed with a generic HTC rom....mainly to fix the mms issue !
that didnt work, im still having the same problem!
ive recently bought a o2 simplicity sim and have requested an unlock code from t-mobile (mainly due to crap reception in my basement flat) but im hoping the problem is not haunting o2 users and will go away once i switch over networks
either that or a new official rom (hopefully with FroYo, flash and xvid support!) will do the trick
would be interested to know if any T-Mobile users who have the original t-mobile rom installed have had this problem, and anyone on an o2 sim
Pissing me off tho!
EDIT: have checked and double checked APNs, reinstalled them just in case and tried all the tricks ive heard others saying have cleared the issue

I have the same problem when using the HTC stock messages or Chomp SMS but using Handcent, every MMS is sent fine without problem.
I'm on Tmobile as well.

I'm thinking it might be a problem with the ROM.
For all you T-Mobile people, does it work if you flash the non branded HTC ROM?

Dunno if this helps but I send a photo from my desire via 3g to a non-desire phone and it worked. I guess that was a MMS. (Oddly, it seemed to send it as a slideshow of 1 photo, which I thought was a little odd but I've had that on other phones before.)

Poldie, yep that's a mms. Sending without wifi connected to a network works.

You wont be any better off on o2, I am having issues sending with stock messaging app, just wont go, it will with handcent and also my partner is on o2 simplicity and her sim in my phone also works and she is able to send pictures fine. has to be below a certain size though (think it is 300kb). Phone is rooted although had similar issue with non rooted phone but worse as could not receive fulll size mms either, can now rooted. Handcent will also work sending mms, just seemsto be an issue with the stock app and HTC messaging.

Have HTC pulled the OTA 2.2 update ?

Im reading about a fair few people who can't upgrade their unbranded handsets today.
Ive also heared a few noises that the update may have been suspended !
Yesterday was fine, I posted a walkthrough and link to a useful guide for debranding over on the android forum and most people were reporting back with success however today, two or three have mentioned that after debranding and installing a generic Rom they are getting the 'no update available, your handset is up to date' message when checking for the 2.2 update
Combine that with the thread on here about no update for unbranded T-Mobile and im beginning to wonder if somethings going on.
Most unbranded handsets will have most likely been updated by now so it will be interested to see if any more people who haven't yet done so are still offered the update.

don't know, but maybe they want to fix the issues before they roll out to more users.
Issues I have: GPS and WIFI don't work anymore. Pretty major, so I hope they push out a fix fast!

Today I should guide a friend to the OTA update. But she got same issue says device is up to date.
And she is unbranded no root stock 2.1 ROM. so sure something is going on in the HTC lab.

Exactly the same here - debranded a Vodafone UK Desire today and no update available :'(
Although if GPS + WiFi don't work for some people this is a pretty unstable release

No problem for me! Sorry for you.

It's wierd , I have an unbranded Desire with a Virgin sim in it. when I tried the check for software via mobile internet, nothing, said I was up to date, when I tried it via wifi, it updated seamlessly... No issues with wifi or GPS so far either. Best of luck to you though..

Yeah I had the option to upgrade yesterday and now it's gone, so +1 for the silently pulled theory.

I'm confused is the 2.2 update rolling out at the moment in the UK? I cant seem to get it on orange?

the funny thing is, wifi worked directly after the update (Sunday) but stopped working yesterday.
I tested GPS since I read other people had trouble with it, and indeed, no location fix for me.
I sent a mail to HTC support, hope they fix it soon.

they may have stopped it, but today isn't the first day I've tried it...
it didn't work on Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday either...
Pauly (op t-mobile thread)
someone over in t-mobile thread says you can't force the update through the check for updates button anyway, you need to wait for a service message?
Perhaps they are only sending the message out intermittently and I've been unlucky enough to be out of signal each time?

P.

if it is unbranded, try occasionally. it worked for me.

Maybe they did pull it. It updated last night by checking manually on my de-branded T-Mobile desire. I've had nothing but problems with froyo. Switching home screens seems laggier, as does the browser. Also, my biggest problem is the battery life seems to have gone terrible for me. I unplugged at 8:30am, its now 6pm, and I'm on 50% and I haven't used it at all as I've been in work. With 2.1 I'd have 80+% left.

i hope this kills the rumour for good

I manually checked for upgrades on my unrooted and unbranded Desire on Sunday and it suggested Froyo. I hesitated to update cause I wanted to be able to root at a later time, and cancelled. When I manually checked for upgrades today, it claimed there weren't any. To me that also suggests that they pulled it.

Yep, I reckon so.
It certainly explains why people following my walkthrough for debranding over on the android forum haven't been ale to update to FroYo today yet yesterday and maybe even early this morning things were fine.

can't seem to update today either via 3G or WIFI

I think if you cancel an update Desire will no longer ask for it. (I think I read about a similar case in a Bulgarian forum which happened on the day of the update)

[Q] No data and no calls

Randomly I have not been able to text, make calls or get a data connection with my phone. I was running CM 7.0.3 when this all of a sudden started. Restarting my phone would allow me to make calls and get a data connection for a few minutes and then I would not be able to do either. I flashed the newest CM7 nightly build and a new radio, Vision_Radio_12.57.60.25_26.10.04.12. The same problem continued so I flashed Virtuous 2.0.0 but that made no difference.
Anyone have any idea of what I can do to fix this?
Thanks.

I'd say try flashing a different ROM. But since you've fresh flashed the same ROM I'd say that pretty much counts.
Next I'd call the carrier and confirm that you SIM/account is in good standing, and that the towers are working properly in your area. I've had the freakout about "omg my phone is jacked up" and after flashing all kinds of ROMs, radios, etc. I just called T-mobile and they confirm that there was just a network problem in my area.

ur doing a full wipe right?

I actually did flash a different ROM and the issue continued. I'll be contacting Bell to see if maybe it's a service issue.

If you contact bell they'll know that you rooted your phone and they will have less sympathy to help you fix it.

How? Do like I did and google the right build number for your device because they will ask, and you don't want to get caught saying 'GRJ***'

This.

i tell my carrier straight up that im rooted...they dont say anything...but im not calling tech support either

If the OP is just calling to see if their have been any reported service outages or interruptions in his area, whether he is rooted or not shouldn't matter.
A couple times in the past few years, I've had instances where I lost both data and voice service for up to a couple hours at a time, over the course of several days. Then the problem just goes away. This seems to fairly typical, if they are upgrading or repairing your local tower.
If the OP has tried flashing various ROMs, and tried a new radio, I'd be inclined to say the ROM is not the problem. If the problem persists, you may ask your carrier to send a new SIM (or go to their store and ask for one).

hi,
you are not alone!
i have this problem with OE HTC 2.3.3 stock rom! (unrooted original device from Nov. 2010)
so i had very bad mobile connection and after ~1day (without reboot) i can't phone with it.. mobile network only "x" but data connection is fixed to gprs.
very strange!
so i send my phone back and orderd new one.
i think this is was hardware problem.
short:
- reboot bringt full funktion but the mobile connection is not so good as 4month ago (same point).. 4month ago it was "H" and now only gprs
after many hours >8h. calls didn't work, the phone said "no provider"... (x)..
- the strange thing is that data connection is degrade to gprs
this problem exist from the last 2 HTC OTA updates. but onyl the last 2.3.3 makes it really unusable
i hope this problem don't come back with the new desire z now rootet with cm 7.10 rc1 (what a feeling)

[Q] Telus T989 MMS/ Pic msg issues - help plz?

Hi folks,
Sometimes I can't receive picture messages and I can never send them to my wife's telus phone. They show up as white squares with no text included. Anybody had this or can provide suggestions? I have tried many things so far. Full story below...
Thanks
**************************
I have a Telus T989/ S2X. I have had it for 1.5 yrs and have flashed numerous ROMS since I rooted it about a year ago. Over this time I have had MMS issues on and off.
From early ICS ROMS (darkside) and now to Jelly Bean roms (CM10 nightly, Jedi Jelly, Slim-Star...and more) I have had a strange issue. I can send picture messages to almost everyone and receive from almost everyone. Occasionally I have an issue receiving from friends on the Rogers/ Fido network and it stalls at 'downloading'. I tried unchecking auto-retrieve and it does not fix it. I have also tried multiple radios on multiple roms.
More recently my msgs cannot be viewed when I send them to my wife's phone ( I know, a blessing sometimes right?). She is on the same network (Telus) and has no problem sending/ receiving from anyone. When I send to her it shows as a white/ blank square and none of the text I typed shows up. Regular text are no problem ever.
I called Telus support and they ran me through checking the APN settings and a bunch of other tests sending pics back and forth and no fix. They are going to escalate the problem. I tried the trick of sending yourself a picture via gmail too without any luck. I didn't tell them I was rooted and on 4.1.2....but I have tried tons of diff roms and done a bunch of searching on the forums and google.
Just today I tried the Koodo 4.0.4 rooted ROM with no luck. Then I got pissed off and backed everything up and rolled back to the Telus 2.3.5 Gingerbread ROM. Guess what? MMS worked just fine!!?? I double checked the APN settings and they were identical.
So....has anyone else had this issue? I don't want to be stuck on Gingerbread just to use MMS. Could it be that the newer versions of the MMS/ SMS have issues? I noticed that when I went back to 2.3.5 it said "converting to MMS" when I attached a pic. I never see that in any other ROM.
Any suggestions or solutions that people have come across? I am slightly frustrated....especially since my wife's Nexus S has no problems and my S2X is way better but failing.
Thanks for your time and thoughts folks!

maybe u were send pics that were larger than the network supports. Hypothetically telus may only support 5meg attachments while Rogers/Fido does 10 ( I think this is actually the case but I'm not 100% sure). Use a third party app like hand cent or gosms that supports MMS compression and see how u fair

It seems like some are getting through with Handcent. So the stock app in CM10 is not working then? I should try different size files maybe to see if that is a factor like you said.
