SMS reply problem with Touch Flo - drops leading "+"?

Hi
I've noticed a problem with my TP2, wondered if anyone else had it and had found a way round.
I store all my contacts as international codes (i.e. +447799xxxxxx etc) so I don't have to mess about when on holiday. However I've noticed a problem with this and the Touch Flo interface.
When I get an SMS I see it on the touch flo page, double click and i see the touch flo SMS interface as follows: -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However when I send, it drops the + from the beginning of the message. Concequently, it tries to send to 4417799xxxxxx which is invalid and goes into my drafts folder.
If however from the front page I choose the "All Messages" soft key and reply to the message in the standard threaded WM6.1 interface: -
then it works fine.
Any idea how to fix this (without removing +44 from all my contacts!)
Cheers, Sy

I described the same problem but nog answer yet.

Just a clue...
I am not a friend of manila or tp2 but just an idea - maybe you have something wrong with the regional settings?

I also had this problem..
I´m wondering, did you install .NET CF3.5?

Yes, but before i had the same problem and after also.

remember notify HTC support !

I'm not sure but I think something goes wrong when restoring contacts via sprite-backup. I noticed an ';' behind or in front of a phone number once.
Try editing the contact, selecting and saving the phone number and see if it happens again.

I don't use sprite-backup, and i have the problem to, so that's not a good solution

Forget it. They are interested in selling not fixing. Terrible customer support

I don't use Sprite Backup, but my contacts are synced OTA to Exchange, whether that makes a difference or not I don't know.
I do have CF3.5 installed, but don't know whether I had the problem before (I installed it when I first got the phone).
Strangely the problem also seems a little intermittent - for example this morning I did a test reply using the TF interface, and it worked okay?
I will send a message to HTC though so hopefully they'll look into a fix!
Oh, and just noticed my regional settings were set to US not UK, so I've changed this to see if it makes a difference. Though the regional settings don't seem to make any direct reference to phone number format so we'll have to see if it actually makes a difference.

Further investigation suggests this seems to happen on the 2nd reply. i.e. in an SMS thread I reply to a message and it's okay....reply again (before another from sender) and the + gets dropped.

as already mentioned at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522535 read it, and see that all the possible options that are discussed here, are tried already
why all those double threads

SIM Locked Notifier

Some of us HTC One X owners have noticed that the phone asks again for a PIN SIM code when you are in a bad-coverage area for a certain amount of time... if you don't notice it, you risk to miss calls or messages since you are out of the network. I'm learning to develop android apps and so I wanted to build my first useful (I hope) app for me and for the ones that have noticed this issue of the One X.
SIM Locked Notifier enables you to activate a ringtone or vibration (or both) when PIN/PUK is required. In this way you avoid missing calls or messages when your phone is out of the network, waiting for a PIN.
Get SIM Locked Notifier on Google Play!
I hope you find it useful, yesterday it warned me two times about this PIN issue (I'm happy because my app works, but I'm worried about this issue... hope they solve it soon).
The app is not heavy, it does nothing until the SIM State changed broadcast event is fired and the state is PIN/PUK required.
REMEMBER: run the app at least once after installation to enable the SIM Locked Notifier monitor. You must do this only once after installation, then it works even after a reboot.

Should this be the reason for me to get a lot of these messages? The content is my Operator name, my area name and my area code.

They appear a lot, and they come as a SMS from a number 50. The thing is, the interrupt anything that is running (pauses) and stand in front of everything, just like old iPhone messages. So they are different from my normal SMS, that just leaves a notification in the status bar.
If this is it, I'm gonna be so glad that now I know the reason...
P.S: My SIM is not PIN locked, so this may be the reason I see those messages.
Greetings, Santroph.

I too have been having this problem on random occasions and have missed calls/sms's etc that were important.
This app appears to be working perfectly +1 for this and thank you for all your work.

Try to enable the PIN on the SIM card and see if it asks you for the PIN randomly.

A little bump for visibility
I hope someone else will find it useful, yesterday it "saved" me twice from being out-of-network.. HTC must solve this issue in the radio code (I think the problem is there..).

Just updated to the new firnware, which has new radio fw.. maybe the issue is solved now.. I think my app will have very very few downloads, btw it has been a good test project to learn a bit about android
Inviato dal mio HTC One X con Tapatalk 2

good app
im on 1.29.401.11 and the issue is still there
any chance this app could also notify when theres no signal on the phone?
where theres an X by the signal meter?
reason i ask, mine one x sits on X for a good few minutes before asking for the pin code

I also had the same issues yesterday, so it's making me think it is an hardware fault of the HOX and not a radio firmware bug....
About the App, I can not extend it in the near future since I have very few time to dedicate to Android development.. but maybe one day I'll update it with your feature BTW, I hope you like the app and find it useful.

Possible solution
Thank you for the App! It really saved me while I was experiencing this issue.
Here is the possible solution:
1) Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2) Open Phone Info Menu
3) Turn off!!! IMS Registration required
I'm continuing to test if it's permanent solution, but for the last 3 days the issue did not occur.

[Q] CosmicCM-4.4.4 V5.2 data not working with SIM2

Hi everybody
First I'd like to thank all the people that were involved in developing this great ROM.
It's a lot faster than the stock ROM and helped me to get rid of the battery drain bug!!!
Currently there is one major and a few minor issues/questions for me. But I couldn't find any solution or even others who had the same issues.
Maybe I'm just miss something but if not, perhaps this could help to improve the next builds or it could be mentioned in the limitations section...
- with SIM 2 data is not working for me. I have a SIM in each slot, but as soon as I switch the second SIM from 2g to 3g the internet connection is gone. APN is configured correctly. Everything else looks good...
- Is there a way to rename the sim?
- roaming "R" disappears from the first sim if Wifi is enabled
- the keys for entering the pin on the lockscreen are cropped
- in the call history there is no information about the sim that was called
Thanks again and have a nice day
Thomas

- wifi, takes priority....turning off wifi will cause phone to re-connect to data, this will also happen automatically if u move out of a known wifi area.
- keys not cropped in lockscreen, see image above
- only sms/sim history atm
U need to prioritize which sim to use for call/data/mms,
have you selected sim 2 as ur data sim ,see below

I didn't check this setting, because in the german translation it's called "Voip Calls"

Cannot edit Samsung S9 APN type to add DUN

Can someone help me understand what is happening.
I have a unlocked Samsung S9 LTE phone with Freedom Mobile in Canada.
i cannot edit my APN Type it just gives me 6 options to choose from.
i want to add DUN to the APN Type but there is no text box to do this.
Someone told me to download ShortCut Master Lite and this can be done.
So i did.
it has all the options but doesn't contain the option com.test.LTEfunctionality
I don't get this and why this is happening.
if someone can shed some light here would be great.

Are you sure it doesn't have that setting? Look again closely because it should. As for the APN change I can't find myself in the app, you can do that yourself. Just add a new APN with a different name, duplicating all the settings except one where it says APN type. On that one make it default,mms,DUN Then save the new APN and select it.
Also under MOBILE HOTSPOT AND TETHERING, do you have Mobile Hotspot and Bluetooth tethering enabled?

thanks for your reply.
i understand exactly what to do because i have done it with my previous Samsung phone.
But with this Unlocked Samsung S9 LTE phone there is no option to add new APN type, you must choose from the options.
See my attached picture.
I am puzzled here.

Yea, you can't edit the default APN but I've never seen a phone that doesn't have an Add option on the previous screen from what you're showing, the main ACCESS POINT NAMES screen.

Hi there, this is from the ADD a new APN screen.
once in the new APN screen i go to APN Type and this is all i can add, no text box.
My phone is unlocked, LTE Samsung S9.
I cannot figure this out.

It beats me. I've pretty much played with the APN on a ton of phones and never seen that dropdown instead of a text box. Maybe that has something to do with that setting not showing up in the app. I guess it's an international version of the S9 and I've never owned anything but US version phones so maybe that's a setting particular to those models.

Could this be the reason? 50 day limit?

i have no idea.
i thought my phone was locked so i paid for a service to unlock it.
they come back to me after 2 days and tell me that my phone is already unlocked, so to confirm i put a friends SIM card from another provided and boom, calls are made and confirms my phone is 100% unlocked.
someone must know why this is happening so annoying i just need my phone to be free to do whatever i want.
Anyone ? understand this.

After update to android 11 on samsung s20+ Dual Sim call ICONS does not appear anymore on contacts

Before i can choose from wich sim i make call or send sms now i have only one in sms and for calls i can put option to chose every time.
Anyone know how to roll back this like in android 10?
Thx.

I am also interested in that if anyone can help

yes i noticed that also now u can't chose anymore from which sim u
gonna make call, you can either go on every contact and put
from wich sim you wanna call particular person by default
or you can go in settings and chose which sim is gonna be
default for contatcs, sms and mobile data.

Just hold the call button, then you can choose which SIM to make call.
Edit: It only works on recent calls screen.

Is it possible to install another version of dialer (previous one)? I really can't understand why they ruined a simple to use app.
What dialers are you using for dual-sim phones?

This implementation helps me a lot because I use SIMs from 2 different countries and I don't want to press the wrong button. I have many times pressed wrong buttons before.

Not only has Samsung destroyed a feature that makes it easier to make calls, but it also ruined the Audible features that I use all the time, now I wonder what else has been deleted or added that They think is good for the rest of us. We must all call these "Don't ask or tell what you want or the changes that matter to most all of us that have dual SIM setup. I need this phone for business and personal. I am searching for the previous op sys now.

This option is not available on the missed calls... If I have a missed call on sim2 and call back it now uses sim1... I liked the Android 10 better for dual sim

Well i recive mail from support where they conifrm i can forget this feaure anymore. So i sold my S20+ and buy MI 11. Keep it good work samsung

I will write to Samsung Report as well..
Any other place this app can be reviewed in other to put pressure in Samsung? Galaxy Store isn't possible..

Hi Everyone - FYI this same issue has been posted on many Samsung Communities threads and unfortunately Samsung has zero plans to fix the Samsung Messages app for SMS. Samsung also has zero plans to fix the dialer on the Samsung Phone app that results User Experience issues, Security Issues, Cost issues and Privacy issues.
Here is the temp solution....Just revert back to Android 10, UI 2.5 and you will get both SIM1 + SIM2 buttons for calls and Messages
