Anyone else have a problem where they send a message to someone and then the person you sent it to, end up receiving 2 instead? It seems to be all the time. Any ideas? Im with O2 in the UK. Also the annoying LED's on the unit. Sometimes when i do the reg fix it works fine, other times after a h/reset and reg fix applied, the light starts again about 10 mins later, and it seems impossible to stop it......
Help guys
XDA IIs
CE 1.40
Radio 1.12
Ex: 1.40 cooked
Ignore this one, turns out after a little research, if you use SPB Pocket plus close button feature, you have to make an exception for tmail.exe
heres a fix
When an sms is compsed there is an option in the sms settings that will allow you to tick “Use Unicode when necessary” if this option is ticked what will happen either your sms will be sent twice
(for the people who really want know what Unicode is, its software that allows software to see foreign charcthers, such as chines Koren. More info at http://www.unicode.org/)
So just untick the option will resolve the problem. When this option is ticked instead of your charcherts size being the 160 it is dropped to 70 charcheres so as soon as you go over the 70 mark its 2 sms.
To fix this you go from the front of your device
Click on start, then down to messaging.
Tap on accounts in the tab below and then select accounts from the list.
Now tap on tex messages
Now just click Unicode off.
AND there we have it.
Actually, Using the option Unicode when necessary uses Unicode formatting ONLY when a Unicode character is found in the message.
I always put this option on, and when my message contains any Unicode character, it converts the whole message into Unicode (hence the message size will be a multiples of 70 chars and not 160). But if your message is pure ANSI characters (all English) then it will be send as it without using Unicode encoding (160 chars).
RZZKT slaam walicum, bud or just plain hello,
i see your point, only thing is here in the UK when we send an sms it goes through spefic sms centre's on the mobile networks then gets routed through various sms gateways etc etc what happens on the Vodafone network and on orange is when you compose a sms say just right TEST if the unicode option is ticked on then the sms when routed will be sent 2ice, on vodafone iv tracked the process for the sms and we can see whats called sms refernce number and if a phone is sending multipull sms the refernce number will be the same, but from my device(spv m2000-unlocked and office qteck9090) the sms refernce number stays the same so the networjk does not belive its a multipull sms but instead it treats it as the device is sending 2 seperate sms's--even when the tracking info time tag shows id time frame i.e sms 1 19:00:16secs sms 2 19:00:16secs.
As i work for Vodafone i can track the sms traffic on our system but its the same situation with the orange network when i have my orange sim in the spv.
Just the way our networks work im afraid. As for the above poor chapy, its going to either be what we are discussing or issue issue with his device(which may be more probable orrrrrrr issue with o2)
never mind wish him all the best!
N2h, wa'alaykom assalam
Ohh i see! thats why its not happening here with me.
We have something called SMS Center, we just put this center's number in the SMS message settings.
Its nice to work in Vodafone... guess you have unlimited phone calls 8)
Lucky you :wink:

I have an Alpine on O2 (UK) running all the default software and ROMs.
My mother has some old Samsung phone - black & white text only style.
When I send her text messages, she'll often receive several, all of which say "Incompatible message format"... I'm just sending ordinary SMS.
I noticed today when I was typing a message to her, that in the place where it shows how many characters there are and how many messages it will take, it said 155/3 SMS - meaning there are 155 characters and it will take 3 SMS to send it... Why could this be?
Does anyone know what's going on?
it's because you use symbols that are not standart english.
and when you use them in sms they are send not as ordinary text, but in unicode - thats' why there's 70 letters for 1 sms. On my 2020i on eng. keyboard there is symbol ' near spacebar which is not standart so using it turns sms to be send in unicode.
Your mother's phone doesn't support unicode as I see... so try to use standard symbols only - maybe on your keyboard layout there are others not like mine, but you can determine which it is by typing them all and watching when sms letter limit moves from 160 to 70.
Ahh thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I think it's when autocomplete inserts a nonstandard apostrophe in certain words that will be doing it then.
Turned off the autocorrect thing which adds the nonstandard apostrophe, sent some test messages and its all sorted now. Thanks again.
Hi all,
After I did the ROM upgrade to the official HTC WM6, everything works fine, well apart from the GPS, which I never managed to get it working and the icon that I should get when I have a voicemail. Now I get a text message with this "[email protected]" characters? Any ideas.
Thanks in advance.

I got the same problem..
the mobile however should still be able to recognize it as a voice mail message. You just get an extra messages in your SMS messages folder
A kludge that works for me:
create a contact with the mobile number of "[email protected]" (just save it to your contacts) with a name like "Voice mail Notification"
install wm6_threader (find on this forum) and it will create a thread per contact!!
works better than original.. why? cause you have history similar to
incoming calls
outgoing calls
missed calls
but for SMS.
In Canada at Rogers Wireless we get additional SMS messages for missed calls when our mobiles are off.
I called it "Operator Notifications"
I also use it for SMS sent from Microsoft, Google and Yahoo. One per website.
The attached cab fixed it for me a while ago.
Not sure whether you need to install the sdkcerts before or not, so I include them just in case.
Reboot after installing.
The voicemail fix is included within rabdo's 1.6 cab for Orange UK network setup. (Also includes the necessary certs).
If you are on Orange UK, I recommend that (I use it with every flash....)
I would like to have a message delivery notification for each of my outgoing SMS text messages.
Currently I have to tap manually the “Request message delivery notification” option for each SMS text message I'm sending.(At the screen where you are typing the message click on: menu -> message options -> “Request message delivery notification”)
How can I get automatically a "message delivery notification" for each SMS sent?
Try setting the following registry key to '0'
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg
Wrong... thats the key that tells the device to confirm it has sent the msg (which most XDA members rush to turn off), not the one that tells it to confirm delivery to the recipient.
For that you need:
HKCU|Software|Microsoft|Inbox|Settings|SMSDeliveryNotify = 1
(and be aware that some networks charge for delivery notifications)
Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, I mean the notification that you get from the provider when it has been delivered at the recipient.
But I don't see "SMSDelivery Notify" in: HKCU|Software|Microsoft|Inbox|Settings
Might it be somewhere else in WM6?
FYI: I have a TyTN II WWE edition (if there's any difference)
Btw, can I edit it with Total Commander?
If yes, do I have to choose for decimal or heximal?
Thanks!

im using vario 3 and it seems i havent got this reg , can i add it ?
You can do this without editing the registry:
in Outlook goto tools/options then tap sms/mms and you'll have 2 checkboxes, one is with delivery notification "globally"
Yes the top one is "request deilvery notifications" and that means by default.
(Again remember some networks charge for delivery reports - and dont include them in your text bundles)
does t-mob uk do it ? i mean do they charge ?
i have the att tilt and i want to turn off the "message sent" notification that everyone hates, however all i can find is the same thing about going to the inbox\settings folder but my phone does not have that, when i go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\ the only folders i see are \SendDriver and \svc and inside \svc there is \ActiveSync, \IMAP4, \POP3, and \SMS, i tried putting the smsnosentmsg dword in all these folders and any subfolders but still have the notification
ive got the delivery notifications turned on, is there anyway to get the phone to tell me who ie the recipients name instead of just a number in the delivery notification?
cheers

Install SMSDRfix this will replace the number in the delivery notification with the contact name from your address book.

thanks mate your a star works like a dream. was the only good thing about bloody nokia's out of the box!!
Hello, I have an XDA Stellar (TYTN II) running WM6. My old TYTN I had both tick boxes, but my new XDA only has the 'Unicode' one. Is there another way?
Many Thanks
Hello
I also have just bought an XDA Stella (Like tony38 above) and unlike all the other XDA's I've owned (Before this the Trion) the Message Delivery notification option in the options tick box is missing in the message settings and when I go into the regedit on my pc amending it remotely, it won't let me edit the SMSDeliveryNotify field from 0 to 1 and says permission is denied. If I use a pda based regedit it let me edit the field but as soon as I reboot the pda it resets it to 0 again.
I use message delivery notification a lot as I deal with people who are on planes a lot so I usually get the delivery report when they land and then I know I can call them etc.
If anyone nows how to fix this then I'd greatly appreciate it as its really annoying and I don't now why they have removed the option for delivery notification.
Many thanks
David
I've seen on some phones that you can be informed when your text message has been read rather than just delivered. Is this possible with windows mobile?
Does delivery notification mean that the person actually opened the text?
can someone answer the above? At present, when u write a text message and are with no signal it simply puts the text message in ur draft folder which i find useless. I know nokia, has a 'resend' option or something. Anyone know of anything for the kaiser?
That would be a nice feature, i've come stuck a couple times like that (on a flight and out of coverage) and had to save them as drafts then click on send later when back in service.
I send a lot of texts to large groups and also find they stick in the outbox sometimes never moving, if i try and click them they send repeatedly sometimes people get 5 or 6 messages. Both these issues were a problem for previous versions you would have thought they had sorted it by now.
You could try using the 02 SMS Plus application...it lets you set a schedule as well as lets u send group sms's. It comes bundled with all 02 phones and should work on Wm5 and Wm6. Try searching the forum for a Cab file of the application
Hi, I had my HTC DT2 for a week now, and in the weekend when i recived a sms and should answer the sms a box came up with "can´t send sms" Have tried switching on/off different things but can´t still send sms. I switch my sim card to a regular gsm phone and it worked perfect, so can some one help me !!
I think the problem is, that outlook saves the contacts with a + and a space between the prefix and the number.. e.g "+49 69123456". try to delete a contact and add this person again with your device and try again.
I have changed my numbers from +46707.....
to 0046707... and just 0707..... no success ! I can receive sms, but not send !!
I have not get my contacts from outlook, they where saved on my simcard and exported when i put it in my HTC TD2, and i can call the numbers, so just why sms? I have downloaded 2pch ring tones from a webpage, could there be some sort of virus ?? I have now deleted the 2 ring tones, but the issue remains.
You need a few settings in your phone to be able to send sms. I have a swedish device, and I guess yours is too? Anyway, I'm not sure what those settings are called in english, so I'll guide you in swedish too. =)
The first is the number to your "SMSC":
Settings - Phone - top thing... "service"? and then SMS
Inställningar - Telefon - Telefontjänster - Röstmeddelanden och SMS
Tele2 is my provider, so I'll have +46707990001 as my SMSC (SMS-servicecenter), check with your provider what number you should have there
Second setting is under advanced network(?)
Settings - Connections - Advanced... - SMS-service
Inställningar - (Mer) - Anslutningar - Avancerat nätverk - SMS-tjänst
I'm not sure if you need to change this, but try set it to only GSM.
Hope that'll work.
had the same problem, ensure that the mobile phone number you are try to message is saved under mobile number in the contact. If it is saved as work number or something else you will have problems sending sms's don't know why but that's how i solved my problem.
