Hi Guys -
Quick questio n- sometimes when my phone range is poor and I send an SMS, it fails. No big deal. However it sits in the 'Drafts' SMS folder.
Is there a way i can get the IIs to automatically keep retrying to send the sms? cos what i'm doing at the moment is going in and re-sending it manually!
It's also annoying because i hit send, and leave the PDA, thinking that the sms was sent... and sometimes it hasn't!
I don't know of a solution, but I also wish there were some workaround.
A related problem I've discovered is if you use the NEW menu on the today scrren to send a mesage to a few people. If the sms fails for any reason whatsoever, you do not get any notification until you pen Messaging yourself, and then, you also don't know who did not receive the message..
One of those little annoying bugs..

is there any 3rd party sms software that could solve this problem?
Guys, about 90% of the time when i send a text message, of any size, to anyone, i get a 'message can not be sent' notification and the phone vibrates, this happens about 2-7 times before the text message is sent, and for each time it tries to send the text again, this amount is send to the recipient, for example if it retries 7 times i will send the message 7 times - very annoying
when using the froyo rom from both paul and richardtrip i did not have this issue, although i am almost certain this was due to the stock messaging app, i even tried using handcent on the froyo which i used on the stock and on the froyo it worked perfectly too, but handcent will not work on the stock rom.
so it seems to me that it is an issue with either the stock (sense based) rom or the htc messaging app
im on tmobile UK on a branded phone, this happens on any radio, both rooted and unrooted
does anyone have any advice, or know of a way to replace the htc messaging app with the stock android messaging app?
if i could get this sorted id be very happy, so i appreciate any help
thanks in advance
I've had this issue happen a couple of times aswell, not sure how to replicate it, it seems totally random, but i haven't seen a 90% change of getting it!
try a new radio lol
This happens to me if I use any messaging system other than the default one (e.g. handcent or chomp) and the signal changes whilst sending the message (i.e. H to 3G or E to G etc. etc.)
I am still using the default rom with the latest update as I am waiting for 2.2 before rooting
turn off GRPS/EDGE/ 3G Data

Had exactly the same problem on stock/sense based verions of romms. NEver had an issue on stock android messaging app, only with the sense one. Think it must be a bug with that app. I'm T-mo in UK to but have an unbranded phone.
dont resend it, just wait until the message is sent, the phone resends automatically, because if you click the resend, it will send another message. what i do is when i get that error message i just wait.
I'm getting this problem on my o2-uk Desire; they are sending me a replacement handset

Thanks everyone for your replies
So it is confirmed that it is an issue with the HTC messaging app but not with the stock android messaging app, and no messaging clients can fix this as they use the default messaging app.
Is there anyway to change the HTC messaging app with the stock android? I prefer it anyway it works much better, the official froyo release will also contain the stock messaging app which I guess will have the same problem.
I will try flashing a different radio
Setting the phone to WCDMA only does not fix the issue
I am having this problem, and also another which I feel might be related, it tries to resend the message, and it eventually goes. I have also noticed that quite a number of times when I try to make a call, it doesnt dial, it just goes silent and returns to the call register screen. Maybe both related to a siganl problem . Somebody suggested switching off Edge or whatever, but thats not really a fix, and why should you have to do this to send a text. ?

I agree, and I also experience the same problem, sometimes during a phone call the most strange sounds happen and then the call cuts out, I'm guessing is interference. Problems with calls, text messages, and the connection repeatedly drops when using the mobile internet, exactly the same problems as the hd2, they will not get fixed by HTC, speaking from experience.. very basic requirements of a phone still not being met
I have the exact same issue with both texts and calls that seem to take ages to connect and then just dump me back to the dialer. I've put it down to O2 being so awful but of people have the same issues on other networks id love to know

I get it off and on, but I let it be and the messages eventually get sent out.

Same here. I did the resending thing for a while, but now I just ignore those error notifications. The text messages arrive anyway

same. I get it 10% of the time. On a unlocked Desire with a UK T-Mobile contract. just leave it to send a couple times, put your desire on a window sill and it should be okay.
but i think the message is not automatically sent if you lock the phone. can anyone confirm this? my unsent message was still not sent when i locked my phone.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, i used to get this issue all of the time when using handcent or chomp. However, since doing the following i've not had it happen once in 2 weeks (where it would happen 10+ times a day before)
1) uninstall any messaging software you have downloaded from the market
2) download sms unread count and sms popup from the market
3) put the sms unread count widget on the homescreen
4) configure sms popup to your liking
5) send messages to your heart's content
This uses the default 'messages' app rather than anything else and works perfectly

Thanks very much for your reply
I will try this right now
i also have the problem with the unsent messages and undialled calls, tmo uk contract phone.
So I've been using GO SMS Pro for almost two months now. Early on I got tired of getting messages within the app as well as through my stock messaging app. I used NoBloat Free to disable the stock MMS.apk and that eliminated the duplicate messages.
However, I had a friend tell me repeatedly that he had sent me a picture message and I wasn't getting them. I could send them without problem, but I couldn't receive them. So I decided to re-enable the stock MMS.apk and it started working again.
Is there anyway to avoid the duplicate messages and still be able to receive MMS? Should I be using a different messaging app? I like the GO SMS more than the stock messaging app.
Just disable notifications in the stock sms app. That's what I do when I use another app.
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA App
Well I guess that would eliminate the duplicate notifications, but they are still "there". Even after re-enabling the stock messaging app I had 438 messages waiting. I worry this is slowing down the phone because they all build up. If I could receive MMS without the stock messaging app I'd be fine.
Yes, I've noticed every time that i restart my phone it says i have whatever amount of messages from the stock app, but i redirected it so that when i go to view it just goes to go SMS pro
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA
I guess I could just redirect it to GO SMS. Does anyone know of a better remedy though?
Could I use Titanium Backup to freeze the stock messaging app? Or would I end up with the same result as I did using NoBloat free?
I have the same "problem". when I send one text message .. the receiver will get 2 messages from me . :|
with older go sms I don;t have any problems
Same problem for me. Send 1=sends 2.
Kiiiind of a critical bug for a sms-app.(if it is the app that is)

Me three. 1 = 2 for me.
GO sms Pro, sent message
Samsung Galaxy S2, same problem with 1 message sendt via GO SMS Pro = 2 received messages for the receiver..
Somebody know the solution for this? Is the problem within the GO SMS application?
Same problem for me..
Same with me , 1=2 , GS2. It forced me to switch to another messaging app. And go sms is the best one
Had the same problem. Just update your Go sms pro app to newest version from google play.
You can check out Whats new section. there is "9.Fix send double msg issue in ICS Galaxy SII"

I just got a new Galaxy S3 and installed Go SMS Pro. My problem is slightly different. The person i send the message to doesn't get double messages. But I get double messages from the sender. I just installed this app 5 min ago so i assume i have the latest version. Any ideas out there? Thanks.

i de-installed SMS GO Pro and put on Handcent and have the same problem. The person i send the SMS to only get's 1 message but i get 2 of theirs.
so ive tried handcent, gosms and pansi and all seem to have the same problem.
When ever i try to send a group text message i get an undelivered error message. Now weather its because a contacts number is incorrect or what ever other reason no one else in the group will get the message.
Is there a limit to how many recipients i can send a message? On my evo i couldnt add any more than 40.
This is getting rather frustrating especially being that i am pass my 14 day trial period on this phone. Im starting to think i shouldve waited for the HTC One to come out
Try Group SMS free. It allows you to send through your normal carrier or a Google voice account....which is free texting. I use it all the time!
Hope this helps.
ok ive downloaded the app mentioned but cant figure out how to forward a message. I tried copying from the phones messenger app but wont let me paste, and this app wont allow me to view my messages.
I can't receive any of the photos I'm send. I'm using GoSMS as my sms app and when i get a photo it gives me an option to download but when I click it, it just downloads then eventually stops I have AOKP 4.2.1 with the 3.0.30-Underwear.kernel. I tried disabling and enabling auto receive on the stock app, and checking if the apn is correct. I searched the forums and even google for the past day and it still isn't working.. Is there anything I can do ? If not then is there any ROM that you suggest I should use..
Also, how come my stock sms app refuses to open if i have one thread with like 20k messages. I have a friend with the older nexus and his phone is fine..
The message says
"Message not downloaded
Select to review the message and try again"
You need to change/manually input apn settings in the gosms app to match the phone
There is also that fill user Agent manually thing, do i need that? :S
Hmm, okay now I can send them and people actually get the photo and not a link but now I dont get any message at all lol. Like it doesnt even ask me to download it.
Bump? Still not getting mms LOL
