Problems with SMS - anyone else face this issue?

Hi there
I've been having issues with SMS on WM6 - the OS issue is the only common thread between the two devices I have had trouble on.
It all started after I upgraded my JASJAM to WM6 using some of the cooked roms on this forum. Short Messaging would work for a while, and suddenly go on the blink with all messages you try to send remaining in the Outbox. You also dont RECEIVE SMSs. WHen I checked with the operator, they confirmed that messages are being recorded as 'delivered' on their system.
Funnily, I would start receiving SMSs every time I changed a ROM (and I tried out different WM6 ROMs for Tytn) before it went on the blink again. The problem also occurred across multiple networks when I roamed, so it wasnt network-specific.
The issue was not brought up at the Forum as I was planning to upgrade to Tytn II as soon as it came out. And so I did (upgrade, I mean) last week when the device was released in Dubai.
Surprise, surprise - I still have the SMS issue. I was able to send & receive SMSs for a while, and it went on the blink again after I received 2 or 3 replies.
I'm now convinced that this has something to do with the receipt of Short Messages, but would like to check if any of you have had the same issue.
For the record, I have tried the following to try and solve the issue:
1. Soft reset.
2. Deleting the Inbox folders on my storage card.
3. Turning Push Mail off (I assumed it has something to do with the two messaging streams being on all the time).
4. Clearing all SMS folders of their contents.
5. Turning "Delivery Notification" and "Use Unicode Messaging" options ON and OFF, together and separately.
6. Turning my SMS signature on and off.
In short - I've done everything short of a hard reset. I know the damn thing will work for a while if I hard-reset, but I cannot bring myself to redo all the customizations I have carried out on the new device, particularly the GPS software installation.
HELP!

Just a thought - did you try replacing the SIM card you are using?

Its not network or SIM card specific - I have had the same problem with about 6 different SIMs (I travel a lot).

BUZZ!!!
Any ideas, guys?

Are we really talking about a jasjam?
That's not a TyTN II / Kaiser, is it?

We're talking about the Tytn II / Kaiser / P4550.
I mentioned JASJAM because I had the same issue when I upgraded to WM6 on my Jasjam.

i'm not being able to send sms with the default program... looking for an alternative to try
edit: installed sms threader for wm6.... that seemed to help, i was able to receive text from skype and from myself... of course the text i was originally trying to send still won't go...

I was finally able to send the sms to the contact I could not connect to before. instead of texting from inside of "messaging" and adding a contact as a recipient, I selected the "send text message" option in the contacts area. oh, the reason I think the sms threader helped pertains to the test sms I sent through skype being received directly afterward. there was a twenty minute gap between send and receive.... it could all just be coincidence.... and works when it feels like....

Figured out the issue - since the problem occurred on my Hermes after I upgraded to WM6 and continued on my TytnII I assumed it had to do with some of my add-on software not being WM6 compatible.
True enough it was a vcard application I have been using for about 3 years now across multiple PPC Phone devices that was causing the issue. Removed the software, reset and my problems have disappeared.
Now I need a stable, light vcard application that I can trigger from contacts. Suggestions, anyone?

well, i think the format i have the number i'm trying to text to is saved incorrectly.... what format works for people country to country?
i'm trying to reply to a norwegian text, and it never goes through. i know can receive them no problem... there is no issue for sending or receiving texts within US... did not have this problem under WM5...

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.

Missed SMS Notification

Searched around and couldn't find an answer. My problem is that if I'm not around the phone and receive an SMS, I don't get re-notified that there is a new one. So sometimes I'll have one from like an hour before, and then the only way I know it's there is by checking the phone manually.
I have no problem receiving the initial notification. I'd just like it to keep notifying me until I check it. My old phone (a Motorolla V600) did this, and it's like 5 years older than the Tilt and not even comparable in terms of capabilities so I would imagine the Tilt could do this as well. Here's my phone info in case it has anything to do with it:
Dutty Apr. 16 ROM
Radio 1.58.11.07
I'm also using Slide2Unlock V1.00 if that makes a difference too. Like I said before, I have no problem receiving the initial notification, even when Slide2Unlock is running.
Thanks.

Not sure of you mean re-notified of new one as in initial message or subsequesnt messages so I'll hit both.
You can try one of these to make it keep repeating alarms:
AlarmPal

DontForget

If you were talking about notifications on subequent messages then:
I tried sending myself multiple txt messages. Sent one and the message alert notification sounded. Waited a little bit and sent another to see if there would be an alert notification or not and it worked perfectly fine and annouced the new message arrival. I tried it both with and without S2U2. Not sure why your doesn't work for you.
I'm running the ROM here:
**NEW** [05/11/2008] ATT 19213 build with 1.65.20.29 radio
Rom without ATT Customizations - OS only!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391708

I was referring more to an outstanding message. Meaning one (or more) that I haven't checked yet. What I basically want is when I have at the least 1 SMS that hasn't been checked, I will keep being notified.
I'll give those programs a try and see if they work. Thanks.
Edit: DontForget does exactly what I want it to and I think it's working with Slide2Unlock. The only way I tested it so far was to send a message to myself, so when I received the message Slide2Unlock wasn't enabled since there were literally only a few seconds between the time I sent the message and when I received it. So after 30 seconds, Slide2Unlock started up and I had the icon showing me I had one new SMS. After 2 minutes, DontForget notified me that I missed the SMS. I'll just need to test by having someone else send me a text message when I know Slide2Unlock is already running to see if I get the same results, but I'm pretty sure that I will. Thanks again.

not receiving/sending messages immediately

So, I've had a G1 for a while now, but ever since I updated my CM to 4.2.3.1 (and eventually installed EnochX theme) that my phone has had some problems regarding messages.
Either my friends receive my messages with a half hour delay (give or take) or I don't receive messages from them.
I've tried re-flashing my radio image (btw, could someone tell me if this is the correct procedure? I hope I did this the right way: just went into recovery and chose my radio image update zip), but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks to all.
PS: To answer my first poster, T-Mobile wouldn't be the answer because I bought this from the UK and am now using it on Vodafone Portugal.

Well T-mobiles been out tonight so that could be part of the problem

i had the same problem. i switched over to senseHERO and the problem is gone.

Problems sending/receiving texts since Android 12

I recently installed Noble ROM 2.2 and love it. However, from time to time I can't send or receive text messages.
Now, I can't pinpoint exactly when this happens. I usually notice it when an SMS (not MMS) sits there trying to send and I get an error:
"Currently unable to send your message. It will be sent when the service becomes available."
However, I have two (2) bars of cell service and can make/send calls just fine.
One of two things seems to "jog" the messages into sending/receiving:
1) rebooting the phone, or
2) making a phone call (I just noticed this for the first time today)
Any ideas?
I don't think it is the ROM. I am using Ting (T-mobile SIM card), which Ting just replaced in case that was the problem. Thanks.
