Is anybody able to send/receive a text while on a phone call? I came from the evo and I was able to receive text messages while on a call and was able to reply to one while on a call. Let me know if I am missing something.
I receive text messages while on a call with no problem...
I'm able to receive and send texts during phone calls and also with Skype with no issues.

Under the ##data# menu the ddtm or dttm which ever one it is called needs to be turned off! mines was set to on and it needs to be set to off. I believe I accidentally changed mines while messing with the wimax settings

Any help would be aapreciated on this:
Anytime I rejected a call with text message, it is always sent as a MMS as against been sent as a text message (SMS) and since my plan does not include MMS usuage, I always get charged for the service.
I uses this functionality a lot as I normally reject calls with text messages anytime I am in a meeting.
I remember correctly that messages used to be sent as an SMS in 6.1 roms and few of 6.5 roms I have used sometimes ago.
Can anyone help on this?
Cheers
on my phone it doesn't even work. i configured it so when i reject a call my phone should send a sms, it never does. instead of that i receive a sms: you have 1 missed call.
no, i did not miss that call, i rejected it!
big difference.....

Mine does work but I will get charged as it would have been sent as a MMS message, it is annoying because I know it can be sent as a SMS message and for free.
Help anyone?.............

I think the latest rom / manilla has fixed this issue. I currently use "grzegorz10's" and I can send sms without been charged.

Hope this help
same thing as in the other thread, no need to bump this and advertise an app, that is not even for this OS. post deleted.
I have done a search and not found if there is a way to completely disable text messaging and/or SMS/MMS on my new tilt 2.
I have an unlimited data plan and still need to connect for that but I dont/wont use the messaging crap.
is this even possible??

I am on T-Mobile, so I'm not familiar with what AT&T can do, but on our network you can log in to your account at the website and disable text messaging. It won't be gone from the phone, but you won't get any text messages. I'm not sure if this turn of OUTBOUND texting.
Ill take a look in the registry for you, i think the most you'll be able to do is disable the messaging driver, but im not sure what that will do. ill be back in a bit
If you dont/wont use it... why even bother with disabling it? I dont think we're charged if we recieve a text only for sending. I could be wrong here though.
Are you worried about accidently opening a contact and typing out a message and sending it to them?

Hi everyone,
I'm using a GSM version of our GN. I only use Google Voice as I change carriers very often therefor I never want to give the carrier phone number.
When receiving a call on ICS we have 3 options:
- pick up
- Decline
- or send a quick preset text message.
Is there a way to make the phone send the text message out of GV and not the carrier Caller ID?
I'd pay for an app to do just that.
Thanks
turn off texting on the phone altogether and it forces GV to send any texts...but you lose MMS capability...
when you choose to send text, does it ask you if you want to send it through GV or regular? probably not if the call comes in on your regular number...try having someone call your GV number and send them a text to see which number shows up...
if that works, just use the GV number for everything
Yeah the text reply is useless because it uses the built in texting and not the GV app. That was the case when I tried it a year or two ago it might have changed now but I doubt it.
Also GV has MMS now (receiving).

I've heard rumors some people can get MMS. (through some kind of forward to gmail setup) but it's never worked for me.

Not quite... you can receive MMS from a Sprint sender. That's it. Your provider doesn't matter, nothing else matters. Only Sprint senders.
None of my friends have Sprint (or anyone I know really) so for all intents and purposes GV still doesn't have MMS (at least for me).
On a similar note...does anyone else feel google treats Google Voice as a red headed stepchild?
I have been using a year and a half old version of the app because it's the only one that treats the back button as an actual return to main screen button...instead of some funky cycle through every previous text button. It is also the last version to handle notifications correctly (newer versions keep the notification in task bar if you reply to one online)
I've tried setting my phone to use GV as the default way to send texts, but still see he same bad behavior with Verizon texts being sent from quick messages. Sucks!
Probably will need an updated dialer from google, but if anyone has any other ideas I'll try them...

I don't think so. I receive MMS from people all the time in my inbox (Sprint and non-Sprint). You have to make sure email notification when you get a text is on I think.
Or is it my ROM? People will send texts but I won't receive them, and on the website of T-Mobile, it doesn't show their texts under incoming texts

U not receiving texts could be many things. But as for the texts not showing up on your account....they don't show up because u never opened them. As far as I know, unless you tap to open the message it does not count as a received messaged.
The reason I believe this is true - if you don't have unlimited texts, someone who does have unlimited text (or money and time) could send you a bazillion (that's with a b) texts and you would be forced to pay for them against your will. Makes sense?
Hope this helped

All of my SMS and MMS messages seem to be sending out fine as I recieve no "unable to send" errors, but my contacts are not always recieving my messages. This seems to be happening more often lately, and affects MMS more than SMS. I am not sure if this problem has to do with signal strength as my phone usually shows 2 to 4 bars, but sometimes drops to 1 or 0 bars and then goes back up again. Could something be wrong with my antennae? Perhaps when I am sending out the messages that are not recieved, my signal strength is bouncing around but not being updated graphically on the phone, and the messages are "lost" in the system or not being sent out at all?
This also seems to affect some of my contacts more than others, so maybe it also has to do with their signal strength, although I have not heard of them complaining about their text message not being recieved by their contacts or not recieving messages (except from me). I always thought if you could not recieve a text message because of a bad connection, it would be recieved when your connection was finally good.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Seeing all my messages sent out fine but not knowing if they are being recieved makes communication via text message rather stressful.
Thanks
What about receiving? I have a friend that keeps missing MMS I send but I always get hers. It's really frustrating.

My brother has T-Mobile (we on family plan) and my sister in law has Verizon and they both didnt get my MMS message, as well as my neice on Mobi.
Update: I sent a message today to my brother and he got the message and all the other ones that I sent but he did not recieve. I also instantly got a MMS message he sent a few days ago. I am not sure if my messages were stuck in the T-Mobile system itself, or my message today triggered my phone or the system to send the rest. Perhaps there is an issue with the tower located two block from my house?
Tmobile issue dude . I almost broke up :-/

Yea I had a pic from Thursday show up on Saturday.
Can you do me a favor? Check your call log. I hadn't mad any calls in the last few days but I had like 80 in the logs. They were both incoming and outgoing and all said "cancelled". I'm wondering if it's cause of all the failed texts...
I have to say this pisses me off because some of my contacts periodically don't receive my messages. Very frustrating especially when it happens mid conversation and then you wait days thinking that the other person is ignoring and vice versa. It's making me seriously consider switching phones.

My call logs is displaying all of my incoming and outgoing calls correctly. I have not had any issues recently with messages not being recieved by my contacts either, so prehaps the JB update fixed something? I am not sure if it is T-Mobile or the closest tower either because others on T-Mobile in my area have not experienced this problem (or perhaps not enough to notice anything). I will monitor signal strength and double check with my contacts if they are recieving my messages.
Weird.. I can't figure out the call log thing cuz I have incoming calls that say cancelled. It spent really make sense. I thought it must be related to the texts being goofy.
The problem with the call log is that it doesn't really show what we want. How? How would you know if you didn't get someone's text unless they told you? Or what if your phone says it sent the message but the other person didn't get it? What gives? The phone always sends the text but the recipient doesn't always receive it. That's why I used to use delivery reports but on this phone they're too annoying and the system is poorly implemented compared to stock Android (which has the best implementation) or even HTC Sense.
