SMS messages come with delay to pair hours!!! Russia / MTS - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

for a day messages were not delivered to me, and it is necessary to send the message or to turn of/on phone, messages for a day come all... The problem was and on 1.1.7.9 (ROM) / 01.04.10 (radio) and on present 2.8.7.1 / 01.13.10
what should i do?

MTS is notoriously bad in sending SMS on time. i often do not receive SMSs for days... sometimes not at all.

receiving only some SMS

I have a problem receiving SMS
(network and user independent)
- but can not put it down to any application installed or even restoring from backup - happens on a virgin XDA 2i after hard reset -
i even upgraded to latest (o2) rom 1.11.162 WWE (no change in symptom)
Rom 1.11.00 WWE
Radio 1.00.00
Problem is getting worse - (I receive about half of my SMS) - testing showed that on trying to receive an SMS the XDA switches on and then looses the network and starts looking - when the network is aquired again there is no notification of a new SMS and it is also not received.
Any help????
further troubleshooting
on looking into this further -
seems (not really confirmed yet) that this happens when signal strenght is less then 3 bars.
happens regardless of XDA having to "wake up" or being on already.
happens intermittently and randomly - without changing location of XDA (receiving) and other phones messages are received or not - no pattern
so here a few questions to help me troubleshoot this further:
a) if this is a signal strength problem - would a radio upgrade fix this?
b) - seems that there is more to it as I can not understand why the sending party is getting a delivery message. If the XDA lost the signal the message should not register as delivered.
c) could it be my SIM card? - before I go out and buy a ready to go sim only from O2 to test this I would like to know if it is worth my time and money.
further troubleshooting II
OK - I got another SIM card and tested it - same problem
I also tested my SIM card in another phone and I get everything. -
so it is not the SIM card -
Unfortunately also the signal strength therory got shot to bits - had all bars showing when the SMS receive failed. (I can always send and receive calls - this problem only afffects receiving SMS)
However - I notice that the signal strength bar goes up and down like a YoYo and is very irratic. I would have full bars on a Nokia and barely 2 on the XDA and then it would jump up and down again.
at this stage I really thinkk this is HW related (just a crap phone I suppose).
really don't know what to do next (other than handing it in for repair)
troubleshoot (III)
well - I had to hand it in to the nice men at O2.
They took it and yesterday, after 5 working days (not bad!) I got it back -
was told that they found the power on button to have been faulty and replaced it.
I tested immediately after getting it back --- and you guessed right - same problem as before. So back to the shop it was for repair attempt number two.
SMS don't reach my phone / me!
I got the same problem.
At a certain time I noticed, i'm not getting any SMS messages. It became obvious, when my provider sent me a push message (doesn't get stored in SMS box) notifying me I will receive an SMS with lost calls (a regular option).
I dont get any sms messages, they are delivered though, but don't show... SIM card works in another phone, my XDA doesn't work with other SIMs.
When i do a hard reset, it works, but after a sprite backup: no go.
this is the only change i did in last days: use the sprite backup. is it the culprit?
thx for ideas.
b
still no SMS received
the saga continues - got the XDA back yesterday - repair slip stated that
a) I had downlevel SW and
b) wrong settings
- on checking the XDA - ROM level was the same as I handed it in, as was radio and others (I had flashed the ROM with the newer O2 version ealier myself)
- re settings - I did not change them from when I got the XDA back the first time.
On testing - you guessed again - same problem persists.
What to do now? Is this a problem with the XDA?
I can recreate the problem at will. Put the XDA in a spot where it shows one or two bars on the phone. Switch it off. Send two SMS. When receiving first one, XDA wakes up, looses network and re-aquires, but does not receive message. Second SMS (XDA is already awake) will be received. Delivery messages for both SMS will be received by sender.
Has anybody experienced the same behaviour?
@ perchhog
Hi -
see also post from Maresch - "SMS blocked or lost"
I can recreate this problem on a virgin XDA after hard reset without any SW loaded before a first Active sync. I am not using sprite or any backup SW and it happens. (I have seen posts stating this might be the problem but not in this case)
old sprite backup program
I guess we do have different problems; read also post from americans labeling sms messages as text messages..
well i sorted it out: got a new sprite backup program (3.0), tried restore from former backup files, it showed corrupt message files (\windows\messaging). I erased the whole directory, now it works.
good luck with your problem, if it is hardware, go get a new one.

"unreceived" text messages
I also have an intermittent problem with "unreceived" text messages. At first it was one mate and I thought he was either stupid or lying. Then another mate said that he sent an SMS that I didn't get either and he could show me the message in his "sent items" folder.
I found that if I reboot my phone every day it rarely happens. But if I leave it on for a few days without reboot, I'm bound to miss texts.
Tried re-installing etc etc, doesn't seem to help. Bottom line is that I've told my mates NEVER to send me important news over SMS, as I might not get it.
I love my 2i... I wish it was a bit more dependable though.
tell O2 about it
Have you been on to O2 about this?
you seem to describe the same problem - (by the way - a reboot does not fix my issue) - When I talk to Novo - the O2 repair team - they have never heard about this - neither has the irish O2 XDA helpline. Go and tell them!
still not working
I just got my replacement XDA 2i
I inserted the SIM, switch the XDA off and send myself a text message. You guessed right - the XDA comes alive, screen lights up, suddenly the network is lost, it re-aquires and - no sign of a new message received, nothing in inbox BUT a delivery report received on the sending phone.
Back to O2 ......
The Saga continues
Was on to a very nice girl in O2 support - and they are investigating.
Somehow I got the feeling it was not the first call she had re this issue.....
update after a while now
worked with O2 for a week on my account settings - they can not find anything wrong and show messages delivered - I do not get them. - O2 Data support advised to get the phone replaced - which I did - twice again and still the same problem. This is definitely a problem with the phone and I really do not know what to do any more. I have now the 4th !! replacement phone and still the same problem.....
Have you tried upgrading the radio stack? This has helped some people with connection issues.
Hi Pug
no have not tried that yet - worth a try -
have no luck however accessing any of the links you posted for the ROM(s) with the 1.04 radio stack.
(no permision or site can not be found)
could you kindly include a link to the (non stripped) O2 version with camera fix and radio 1.4? - will give it a shot then
to Pug et all
Ok - found a working link to Pugs Rom (Thanks a million) - did a radio upgrade only (by deleting MS.nbf and nk.nbf) - had a glitch on upgrading but eventually got it all working. Now what you are all waiting for - the result:
tested the usual first and it definitely receives the first text message on wake up where it previously had failed. On putting it into a location where the signal strength is even weaker (less than two bars) it now does not try to receive - BUT will also not try to receive when back to full signal strenth - until a new text message is sent and then both are delivered.
Conclusion: HUGE improvement and no messages lost - (although potentially delivered with some delay - need to investigate this further). Hope everything else works as before have not tested yet.
3 CHEERS for Pug!
final comment and resolution of SMS receive problem
First - the radio upgrade DID resolve this issue. (why I discarded this a few months ago? Seatone had the same problem on a Radio 1.04 :-( )
I sent myself over a 100 text messages since and did not get it to fail or loose one single message. I do like my XDA again!
The ONLY gripe I have is that the red LED does not come on to inform you a message is waiting for you should you have missed the acustic signal.
But I can live with that (nobody a solution for this I suppose?)
So final conclusion - the problem of receiving SMS on an XDA when in standby and weak reception which resulted in loss of network and lost text message before can be solved by a radio upgrade -
THANKS and 3 Cheers for PUG
Please help....
I had the same problem as you! Unfortunatelly, upgrading to the latest radio version was of no help to me.
Now I don't receive ANY sms... It seems that if I send a couple of sms messages, sometimes I receive them the second or third day!!!
I tryed different ROM's, with different Radio versions....
Now I've installed TUMA v1.4 WM5 Rom, hoping that this will do it. But still nothing.... If I send a sms from another mobile to my number, I don't receive it on the Blue Angel...
I've tried my SIM card in another phone, and it works well.
Also I know that I am able to SEND sms, I've tested this.
Please help, as this is reaaaalllllyyy enoying (
Thank You.
why dont u guys post your specs here, maybe something related to it, buggy ROM, dunno.
if it helps i have a SIM card locked to a portuguese operator, with the following specs:
Specs:
ROM ver: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date: 01/27/05
Radio ver: 1.04.00
Prot Ver: 1337.42

have u tried a test in the O2 shop, so they can see it with their own eyes? gl guys, i really do thing you will need it
sms receiving
I know all your problem on 02 sms.
1. after upgrade your 02 rom. you use the backup fle from old ROM.
2. the sprite backup soft is running fastly and it have many functions but it can make this mistake.
the solusion is that you must insert one by one soft after upgrade ROM.

Could be carrier issue. Stock ROM? If non-stock, try another ROM or flash to the stock and see if persists. If so, call carrier.
I also get this - I get the message to say that MMS download is beginning and then it goes away for a couple of hours until the message finally appears. This is a T-mobile UK vario III on the stock ROM and in a good 3G/HSDPA area.
Not seen many other people with the problem though.

I'm on T-Mobile in the UK and get the same problem, I have noticed it seems to be even worse if activesync is working.
It can take up to a couple of hours to receive or send an MMS. I'm running the phone unmodified straight out of the box.
I am also on Tmobile UK network but have not noticed any significant delay sending or receiving MMS or SMS. I think the problems are more likely to be network or server related.
Just tested sending a VGA sized photo from my Kaiser to my wifes SE K610 by MMS and replying and in both cases the message was sent and received in under 2 minutes.
I have had SMS go missing for hours at a time in the past. The record for me is an SMS sent at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve which did not arrive until 4pm New Years Day. I put this down to network/server congestion. On the rare occasions I am unable to send an SMS or MMS straight away I have found cycling the Radio off and on sorts the problem out.
It can be dificult to pinpoint reasons for delays but the message may be delayed at any point between Senders Phone, Cell Tower, Carrier Network, Message server, Gateway, Receivers Message Server, Carrier Network, Cell Tower and Phone.

Cannot send sms at times

There are times when I cannot send sms while there is a full bar signal, anyone who has some hints on why is this?
Thanks!
Do you also have problems with recieving sms-messenges?
I initially had problems with my X1 as well, only half of the messenges showed up, didn't send a lot of messenges either. Most notably, the new messenges icon (xperia panel 1) contstantly showed me that i had unread messenges but they werent visible when i was in the inbox.
Fed up with problem (after updating through SE update service), I had T-mobile send it in. It's fixed now!
I have the same problem.
My provider is KPN (Netherlands) and sometimes the text messages I send are, either duplicated and send twice, or not being send at all.
Also, when I recieve messages (rare occasions) the messages that weren't send to the receiver, are being send at the same time I receive the message.
I have the latest SE Update with the Update Service.
Does anyone have an answer to this problem cos I have the same problem texts are not being sent

sending sms bug?

hello,
Lately i have been trying all kind of roms on my mobile, but they all seem to have the same problem. sometimes when i try to send an sms it does not send it or it sends it many hours after i pressed send. wich is really anoying. (last time i also recieved an sms many hours after )
when i reset my device and go to sms folder i can force it to send it. ( so after reboot it somehow resends the sms automaticly ) or i get the error can not send sms.
So is this a known problem?
i thought it was the provider first. but since it has been doing it for weeks i am not sure about that.
thanks for your help.

SMS problem

i have a problem with my phone sending sms. this phone was bought in korea (lg ku5900) but i live outside of korea. whenever I send an sms greater than 70 characters, it gets cut. The receiver of my message will just receive the first 70 characters of the sms i sent. but in my phone it shows i have sent the whole message.
I have tried replacing the stock korean sms apk with froyo stock sms apk but to no avail messages still gets cut off.
with regards to my service provider, there is no problem with them since i am able to receive long text messages from my contacts. the maximum characters i receive is around 500 character which is equal to 4 sms.
is there anyway to go about this problem?
