Hi There
Just looking for some advice from someone more clued up then me,
im having trouble with when the phone is off or Bluetooth disconnected the watch wont make or receive texts, it will still make and receive calls perfect and as it should its has a signal with 4G next to it when i make the call, it just seems to be the text side of things that dont seem to work when in standalone mode, so im looking for some advice, am i doing something wrong, is there a setting iv missed somewhere to turn on texts i just cant seem to get it to work, when i try to send a text it will just say ' Connecting to phone remotely, if this take a while please try again ', it wont send or receive any text messages but makes and receives calls perfect in standalone, when i connect back up with my phone all the text will come through,
i really wanted it for the standalone text feature as i dont really use the pone itself as much as text, i will add the the watch was used i haven't had it from new so dont know if the watch is faulty or iv need to do something but i really would like some help if possible
i have a vodaphone plan on the phone with esim connected to the watch that seems to work fine, like i said it only seems to be the sending and receiving of texts im having trouble with
thanks in advance for any help and advice

Hey guys,
Picked up a desire yesterday and its great, though I'm having some issues with sms. I notice I don't receive any texts until I send a text first, then I'll receive 2 or 3 texts, timestamped in the past, up to an hour ago!
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
edit: unrooted on o2
i get a similar problem, i know i should have received a text message but it doeant show up for hours.
unrooted on tmobile uk
Most likely when your phone is connected over GPRS the text don't come through till you disconnect, used to happen on my N95.
So if my phone is operating in GPRS mode, until it decides it doesn't need the internet anymore and disconnects, it won't retrieve texts... right. So any workarounds or fixes for this?
Prety much, after I use GPRS I just made a call and during or after the call my text came in.
Been getting this all day, are people really just dealing with this or is it only a few people that have this issue?
I am having another problem... on T-mobile, my phone won't download MMS messages. It will just say Download error, General Network Failure... After it expired (3days) , I was sent a link to the T-mobile website, where I am able to see it for 14 days.
Another problem that I am having, the phone is struggling sending long text messages... 4 or 5 normal lenght messages 500-600 characters... I am using the Text App provided with the phone.
I have a problem that I dont think is an actual problem I think its just how the phone works, and tbh its a bit rubbish.
If you dont have signal when you hit send (im my office at work I only get signal on a little square of the desk) the phone says "message not sent". Sometime when it gets signal it will send the message, but if it doesnt get signal quick enough it seems to just give up sending.... a bit lame really....
I'm going to post a message up with the T-mobile UK MMS settings so people in future can find it on search. Have a look in 5 mins.
JAmes.
I've got the same issue with my HTC Desire.
My operator is a Belgium one, namely Mobistar.
I've got the impression that when i open the sms box, i start seeing the messages. Don't know if it's the communication that goes wrong, or the 'throughput' in the phone (screen, alerting...).
After installing (and using of course) chompSMS, this problem is gone... yipppie...
Hey guys,
For awhile now, my phone has been acting up. I won't receive calls or text messages, and my phone as of last week has not been sending texts, even though it shows a timestamp of when I sent the message. Can anyone else me out possibly? I'm at a complete loss as to why this is happening. I use Google Voice if that helps any, as I know some people have had trouble similar to me with Google Voice. I'm also running Calkulin's E4GT Rom. I have not updated the modem as I'm not sure if I was supposed to.
Thank you.

So, it must be a network issue because I ahve been having problems making calls, and texting since 4:00pm today 12/20/2011 in New York. Where are you located?

I keep getting a lost call. I tried calling my phone with my phone line and the call goes through. I can accept the call and speak to myself, but I cant make out going calls or text.
I had google voice on and disable it and that did not help.
Me and my gf both have problems with texts not going through or being delayed for 12+ hours. Its a Sprint issue im sure. I'd call the carrier and complain if its really an issue for you.
As a work around for now you can use the google voice app for texts. Mine show up right away unless im on wifi then its delayed.

I am having a problem that when I send a txt msg it doesn't get delivered till hours later. It doesn't always happen but it does. I have good signal and everything works fine. Also I tried calling a particular person and it rings then voicemail they never hear the ring. Then it goes to voice mail every call after that. So I am not sure if its the network, my phone or the other phone. We run in the T-Mobile network. Could it be the sim card or the antenna. It doesn't always happens. I even went full stock and it still did it.
On the official stock it would keep giving me a yahoo mail failed to sign in notification . But it comes and goes. So I'm thinking its my phone. Not sure
Anyone have an answer for this? Or have experienced this also?
Thank you in advance

It may help getting answers if there was a little more information regarding what you've done to the phone up to this point. Rom flashed prior to getting problems, apps installed, or settings tweaked, etc. I had a similar problem with a different device and it came down to the radio/modem version. If you can give a little more detail I'm sure folks here will chime in with ideas before doing a reset or something.
I have certain friends that use either ATT or Tmobile, and sometimes when they text, they go off and send maybe 4-6 texts one right after the other. If I try to text back as I'm receiving texts I get an error message, I think it says Error message 34. I also notice that if I try to send multiple texts like that, the little loading icon comes up and they slowly get sent off one by one. I had the same problem with my HTC EVO 3D on Sprint and even my Palm Pre, they're all so painfully slow when it comes to texting.
My only remedy around this has been to use Google Voice and text using data with my other number, but I don't really give it out to anyone so it wouldn't make sense to do that, plus it can't receive picture mail.
Is this just a flaw of Sprint? I'm using the oem texting app. If you want to replicate this issue, you could use google voice on your computer to try to send multiple texts to your phone and try to text back with your phone as you're receiving them. Your text will either hang there for a while and eventually send maybe 30-40 seconds later, or it will just error out and you have to manually resend it.
edit: just realized that this thread may be in the wrong section.. I don't see a delete option unfortunately :\
Yes it is in the wrong section. It should be in Q / A . Ask a Mod to please move it. As for your issue I would lean toward it being a Network issue. Reason being, I've run into it before. Check online, or call Sprint. Ask them if they are doing any work in your area. You can also try Updating PRL /Profile. If that still does not resolve it you can try ##72786# . That will reset your Data. Make sure you leave it alone, and let it finish.
Moved to Q&A
Hello! On SW 2 you could read text messages you got earlier, and see your list of calls. On SW 3 I only get to read a sms the moment I get it. Am I doing something wrong, or isnt it possible to read previous texts, and check calls, see pictures and so on?
The sw2 and sw3 are running different OS's so you shouldn't expect the same features. Sw3 is an Android wear device manufactured by Sony.
to reply to your question, using hangouts there is no way to read older sms messages. let's hope this will change in the future, considering we have text input methods already out there...
Use google messenger. When you get a text you can swipe left and see your whole convo
Thanx
Thanx for the answers folks! I was afraid I wasnt wrong, that you cant read old messages. I am in fact pretty dissapointed about SW3 vs SW2.. Lets just they make it possible in the future.
Wear messenger works pretty well in doing this. You can go back and read messages even if you haven't received a text. Plus you can send texts via keyboard input. Works great for work when I can't have my phone out, but can still respond briefly to people.
