I noticed that when I click to view the status of a SMS message that I send out it says "No Delivery report requested". So my question is: How to I request a delivery report? Can this be done?
I would like to know this as well.
Sent from my always stock, EC05 Epic 4G
My understanding is that this is a per-carrier option on the network, and is not something Sprint supports. (last time I checked on this was over a year ago.) I cannot remember if this showed in the SMS details pre-froyo.

Hi all
I am one off those that like to receive a notification when an sms is sent so I have the option ticked by deefault. Unfortunatley since I bought the Touch Pro 2 (Vodafone uk version) I noticed that this works for new texts but not whenever I reply to text. for each reply I have to manually tick the option again.
anyone know why and what reg fix is needed?
Thanks
Barney

whats the difference between the delivary report and the message sent mesage you can also enable?!
answers..
ok, message sent means it left your phone and is received by your operator's server. It might be queued on there for while if network is busy with people texting (eg goal scored at footy match). Hopefully if your operator's server hasn't crashed it will eventually send your text to receipients phone (if on same network) or to other phone operator text server where again it may be queued and then it will try sending to recipients mobile if available or keep trying for the duration of the "message validity". When finally received by recipients phone an acknoledgment is sent back to you to indicate this as message delivered.
Useful technique because if you need to ring someone but their phone is off or out of signal, you can send text. When you get delivered report you can ring and get through.

Got a company contract with Voda - delivery reports are free.
Anyone got any ideas on how I can fix this?

I have the same problem! Any solution?
Hi all,
i recently got a desire on vodafone uk, i have found that i fail to recieve sms delivery reports whenever i send a text.
the box is checked in the sms settings but i still dont get any reports (although the texts do go through)
has anyone else had this problem? is it a handset problem or a network problem?
Are you sure? As far as i can tell you dont get a pop up, just an icon that appears in the corner of the message you just sent. Long press on the message and you get a list of options, one is View Report.
oh brilliant! i didn't realise that was the delivery report, ive just upgraded from the touch diamond where i would get an actual pop up msg notification.
cheers for your help.
It confused me to. While its not as nice as the Nokia pop up method, its better than the Winmo way, which is basically a full message, that i found really annoying.
Is there hack to show delivery pop ups or notifications
I don't want to use HANDCENT app
I was using opendesire ROM (4.0.36) later with original android mms app and it had that option (so cool ) it wasn't even showing the message icon before it was delivered.
(If you don't understand what I explained about opendesire ROM check it yourself)
AND NO I don't want to use opendesire ROMs too , although they are nice and frequently updated.
Issue 1801: Delivery report status icon for MMS/SMS
While "view report" works, displayed icon is not actually delivery notification. It is sent notification. It seems to be Android bug, not HTC's fault.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1801
All I'm saying that this is fixed in Opendesire ROMs (try it!) isn't there a way to fix it on for example Modaco ROMs?
Anyone got these working consistently? Might my problems be due to also having ChompSMS and Handcent installed? I'm on O2 PAYG in the UK if that makes a difference...
I have them on the default program, my only issue is you need to check each message in the thread that you have sent to identify if it has been received ...
O2 never used to support delivery reports, not sure if they do now, but they didnt last time i had an O2 contract.

Can you explain us please how to do that?
working fine here with the default sms program. But then again I am on t-mobile.
I also never used to get delivery reports the last time i used o2, but that was 4-5 years ago now...

please explain!
O2 don't support the delivery reports option in your phone.
However, if you start your text with *0# you will get a delivery report (and the recipient won't see the *0# bit)

Gooodness.... I seem to remember that workaround from the Cellnet days!
Delivery reports work fine for me Tmobile UK, and Handcent. Previously worked fine in Chomp also.
O2 in Ireland had no problems with delivery reports. Using the default program. Only annoying thing is that the icon for report doesn't change from pending to received. It's just the same all the time and have to check manually for each msg the delivery status.
Haven't found the setting for status bar notification for delivery report, only for received, sent and failed to send.
Just an FYI, but for me (on T-Mobile), MMS delivery reports always seem to say "Pending" whilst SMS delivery reports are fine.
Then about 2 days later I'll get a random report that something was delivered or failed. But because of the amount of MMS I send, I never find out what it may be referring to.
Plus, Handcent has an issue sending and receiving MMS so I removed it and went back to default.
So you may get different report responses for SMS and MMS.
How do I get this to appear in the notification bar?
Forgot I posted this! Thanks for the replies folks.
Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me as I am completely stumped.
Three days ago I flashed an sense ROM and all was well until I noticed people saying you didn't get my voicemail? So pressed 1 and called my VM only to find I had 7 voicemail that I was never notified about. I didn't get a task bar notification, app notification and they didn't show in the VVM app.
I have done the following, battery pull, update prl, update profile, sent activation message to [email protected], says it there is a delay in setting up your voicemail and you message will be sent as soon as this step is complete. I have also tried restoring a nandroid when VVM was working and nothing works.
Im lost and it sux not knowing if I have a VM, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JP
identical situation here, did you ever find a solution? anyone else have this experience? if so, howdya fix it?
bump this...having the same issue.
uninstalled vvm and re-installed latest apk, app generated it's own activation message, but send failed, still no notifications, this sucks...
This was happening to me as well, until I remembered that I had set up a block with Sprint to block 9016 txt msgs from coming through. Check with Sprint customer service or logon to Sprint's site and check the My Devices & Media tab and see if you have any restrictions on the line.
Apparently, Sprint's VVM program needs those text messages to tell it when it's provisioned, when it has messages to download, and when to get rid of the icon at the top.
Nah, this isn't the aosp text issue, it's different, but thanks for the input.
So I took my phone to sprint today, and after an hour and a half working w/ 3 different tech depts, a couple supposed vvm resets (or refreshes), and a full reset of the phone and still no fix, they decide to give me a new phone. Set up the new one (003 w/ 3.29 otb) and no dice, 3 hours, a new phone, and still have the same problem I walked in with. I've uninstalled and re-installed latest apk as well as an older one. What seems to be the problem is the "activation message" is not sending. Sprint says it's a known issue and there will be a software fix soon - my experience w/ Sprint is 6 mo. is "soon" for an update or fix. Anybody know a fix for this?

holyrolla's right check to make sure you don't have it blocked. if you added it before it wouldn't block it. but now for some reason it blocks it. I had the same problem as the op took me a week trying to figure it out. then I remembered I blocked 9016 when I had cm6. unblocked it and within a few hours my voicemail activation was able to be sent.
also compose a message in the vvm app and send it to someone in your contacts, this should get the server talking with your phone if your activation message still won't send

This worked! I blocked and unblocked 9016 text in August on Heroc. Four days before Thanksgiving on Evo for 2.5 weeks w/ vvm working fine...and all of a sudden no vvm. After I replied to this post earlier, I decided to check it out anyway and there it was. Unblocked 9016 and vvm works fine.
Thank you Holyrolla!
Hi guys,
Am having an issue with delivery reports timestamp on the nexus. The problem is i don't get any actual delivered timestamp. So, say for example i send a text to somebody who has their phone turned off I will get the circle clock icon next to the message. When the person turns their phone on this will then go green indicating it has been delivered. The problem is I have no idea what time the message was delivered as the only timestamp it puts on it is the actual time I sent the message and not the delivery time. I have tried all the usual view report view message details etc. but none of them indicate the actual time the message was delivered. Am on 4.0.4 - it was the same on 4.0.2 and I have tried handsent or stock messaging app and its the same with both. Can anyone advise?
probably a stupid question but, did u activate the delivery reports in the sms app?
Yes everything seems to be the way it should be. I am actually getting the delivery reports - its just that they don't have a delivered time on them only a sent time
