It sounds like they are on a pay as you go tarrif and every time he starts his phone a service on his phone uses his credit/balance.
Is this right chiujiewei?
Is it a text/SMS message or is it a notification from an app? Are you using a custom ROM or stock? Any chance of a screenshot of this in action?

thanks for the reply i found the solution..its a text/SMS message receive from the service.. there was preoblem in the message settings where push messages etc are mentioned..each time an sms is sent automatically at phone start without me knowing
i just disabled the option and reset the message settings
this helped me..thankyou all for ur considerations

Timestamp on SMS

I just purchased my HTC Desire yesterday (and it is LOVELY)!
But for some reason the datestamp for INCOMING sms texts are all wrong. it is like 4 hours behind, but the outgoing timestamp is correct.
is there a way to check the settings? I don't know why it's like that. I dont know what time people texted me.
Thanks for all the help
Ensure to set date and time correctly, from Menu options
That defines your phone internal clock, regardless what you want to see in the clock widget..
To simplify thing, better to opt for "current" in the location options
from my Desire + XDA App
what do you mean? I set the date and time correctly. And when I go into location it only shows
use wireless networks and use gps satellites
(i dont have a data plan)
the desire dosent timestamp a sms when it receves it, instead it uses the one given by the sms message centre that sends it to you .....
so you mean my provider? because the received sms time is correct on my previous phones..
What he means is, it'll use the time from the phone that sent it to you I believe.
I SMS internationally; and it's quite annoying because it will move their message up in between mine and thread mine. He's in Canada, I'm Australia so he's behind so I have to go searching up through my messages to find it.
eg:
his reply goes here:
me 3pm: message

No what i mean is, when someone sends you a sms, it goes from there phone to a sms message centre, and then gets sent to your phone, the desire uses the timestamp given to the sms at the message centre so there nothing wrong with your phone, it even happens to me for some reason, if i reply to a sms straight away it appears above the one i just receved
happens to me as well. i just use "sms time fix" from the market, and ive enabled all the options in there cause it wasnt working on just by setting the hours in advanced. now my msg times are good, but it now uses my phones time. atleast it shows the proper time now.
thats weird.. i know what you mean sorta, but i get texts locally. so shouldnt it be the same time? and yea, it moves above mine as well! it's four hours behind (even though it was sent after me)
is there a way to change the sms message center time or anything like that (i doubt that lol) because my friends who text me are local too

Strange notification symbol - related to texts disabled

hi guys,
Something strange happened to my Desire on Sunday and it has caused a few issues for me since.
The attahced pic shows a symbol in the notification bar that looks like a fence.
(I cannot attach the screen shot as i have not made enough posts but PM me if u wish to see the symbol and i can show u it)
Since this symbol has appeared all my texts have dissapeared and i am unable to send or receive texts.
Also when i go into my dialler my call history has cleared and when i try to using the quick input method of finding a contact (eg 3-2-3 for DAD) no contacts come up.
The phone does work to make calls but it can only be done by going into contacts and sleecting the number from there.
Anyone ever come across this before and know how to resolve it?
BTW i am using MIUI rom
TIA
Ok symbols will probably be different in a standard ROM but here is a list of what they are and what they mean http://htcdesireportal.com/htc-desire-android-notification-and-phone-icons/
SOunds like you are refering to the notification for SIM2 features. Possible sim fault. Call your telco and ask them to check you Bearer services for incoming and outgoing text and also to check your diameter router settings.
Sounds like Visitor Mode. Press Power Button and Disable.
Basically Semi locks down the phone if people want a look but you don't want them Using it for Calls/Texts/Other stuff.

I've never tried it before, but I've heard good things about Youmail. I like Google voice, but it seems like a lot of others also like youmail, so give it a shot and see if its what you're looking for. Should be available in the market.

In the settings menu, did you put your device's phone number in the slot for the voicemail number? If not, do so.

hey doug...just erased the *86 from it and put my phone # but still same thing... any other ideas? also any way i can clear the sprint VMM thing its just up on top status bar even if i dont have any messages
Go to Menu-Settings-Call settings. Under Voicemail Service, select "my carrier" and underneath it, select "voicemail settings" and then type in your phone number without any parenthesis or hyphens. That *should* work for you. It does for me. As for the Sprint VVM, I don't use it. As a matter of fact, I delete it from the /system/app folder using a system level file manager like Root Explorer.

hey doug... thanks for getting back.. i have done that and still same thing... now if i dial the voicemail app it lets me check it but i dont get notifications as to me having voicemail... and if i go in to check i get another text as if i got something even though its empty

[Q] MMS Messages not downloaded automatically

Hello. I'm wondering if anyone can assist me.
I have an Xperia Arc, running the most recent official Sony release. I have not 'rooted' or unlocked the 'phone, it is as it left the O2 shop. Plus the odd scratch or two...
When I am sent an MMS message, two annoying things happen.
1. The 'ringer' doesn't sound, the vibrator doesn't vibrate. If you happen to be looking, the light on the side of the 'phone flashes once, then nothing.
2. When I open the Messages App, the conversation relating to the person who sent the MMS message is at the top of the screen. If I open this conversation I see a blank message with the text 'Message not downloaded' in it. After a long period of time of clicking and tapping, I found that if I 'Long Click' the Message Not Downloaded notification, I get the option to download the message. Once I have manually selected the download option, the message is downloaded correctly, and once fully downloaded, the 'ringer' sounds as normal, along with any vibration.
I have no problem whatsoever in sending MMS messages.
Once the option to download has been selected, I have no problem receiving the message (apart from seeming rather slow).
I've seen threads that suggest checking or changing the APN settings, I would have thought that has to be working correctly, as sending and receiving messages works, if not automatically.
I did wonder if it might be due to being on a slow network, here at home we don't have fast O2 mobile coverage, no 3G, Edge or HSDPA here, just plain GPRS (G in status bar).
Is there a way of having the 'phone automatically download the MMS message and content?
in the first voice of the menu, i guess you can find where to download content for data and mms
Duplicate. Sorry.

I've checked all the menus I can think of, but can't see any download options. Is there a specific menu you are thinking of here CavinRay?
I had this issue before, I use handcent, and sorted it by opening up the stock message app and going into the options.
Look for something to do with 'push settings' and make sure it's selected.
Might not help but worth a shot mate.

Thanks, I've just tried turning it off (it was already on) then exiting Messages, re-opening Messages and turning it back on.
I'll see if that has any effect on the confusion.

Help Voicemail Icon

Ive flashed this phone with 2 different Roms and the icon that says i have a voicemail wont go away. And no i dont have a voicemail. Anyone know how to fix this?
Just call yourself from a different phone and leave a message. Check it the old fashioned way by actually calling voicemail and listen to the message, delete it with 7 and let it actually delete and the hang up. That should clear it up. Had to do it with my vibe every once in a while if I didn't listen to the whole message it would just sorta hang.
