Is there a way to make the phone wait until there is service to try to send an SMS? Its annoying, since it is always getting and dropping the connection when I am in my basement, and instead of waiting until it catches a signal, it just says that the messages failed and puts it in my drafts folder!
I have WM6.1 and this is really annoying because every time I tell it to try again and it fails, it adds another line to my history saying that it failed with a link to click again. I have to keep clicking try again until it sends the message, and then I have to go to my drafts folder and delete all the drafts.
no solutions for ya besides keep all messages in drafts then wait for signal then send them all at once

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
i swapped my sim over in my tmobile vario 3 when my battery died. since then i've not been able to send any texts. i can recieve them but it wont let me reply. nor will it send a new sms if i create one from scratch.
any ideas as to what might be causing it?
anybody know what the problem could be? its effectively dead if a cant text
What is the exact error message you get when you try sending a message and is the SIM capable of sending SMS with other phones?
Did you check if message center number is entered correctly?

Hmm. For some reason its started working again. Basically, under the message list in the small bar where it says "SMS/MMS 3 Items, 2 Unread"
it just displayed the message "Error Syncronising" and a pop up alert read "Your message cannot be sent"
Not sure how it started working again though.
When in the message inbox, press right or left arrow button. It navigates to Outlook mail area.. Probably you tried sending SMS thru outlook account

I'm running cynogen 3.96 (but i've experienced this with all roms and stock).
In my house there is spotty coverage (4 bars to 0) and while txting/smsing sometimes i will have service, try to send the text and i will drop out of service, now i know this is do to my coverage, but how do i get my txt to auto-resend when i get a signal again. I'm always forced to cut/copy the message and resend, which is annoying. When the txt fails to send im left with a envelope with a (!).
If you long press on the on the message in question, a menu will come up and there is an option to either forward or edit. If you choose edit, it will put the message back into the edit box and you can simply resend it. Or if there is no edit option, you can just forward the message to the same person and it will end up in the same thread
If you tap the envelope it should fill in the text entry field with that text.. no need to copy/paste, just tap and resend.
usally when this happens for me the message is still sent even though it says failed
ive had this with all roms as well even stock lol
maybe its different for you but mine still send so maybe yous do to
I apologize if this has been asked/resolved before, but I searched the forums and google quite a bit to no avail. I have found other instances of people with this issue but have not found a resolution yet.
Every time I receive a single text message, I get a notification on the unlock screen that says I have 2 texts. When I unlock the phone and pull down the notification area, it lists the 2 texts. One of the texts is the actual text i just received and I can access it just fine. The other text listed is a text from weeks ago that has long been deleted, including the entire thread it was in. This ghost text will not go away.
I can clear the notifications and it goes away, but as soon as I receive another text from anyone, it pops up there again. I have tried some other solutions that popped up on google. These were to download the SMS Cleaner app and search by keyword. Upon doing this, the app does not find any texts with the keywords from the ghost text.
I have also tried replying to the text to create a new thread and maybe try to delete it again, but even when the new thread is created/deleted the ghost text comes back.
I also turned off/on text notifications several times also combined with power cycling the phone, which did not solve this either.
Note: This text was from a room alert system in our server room at work. It sends email alerts that we then have converted to text message and sent to our phones.
Not sure if it being an email has anything to do with it, but I have received these alerts several times before without any of them getting stuck.
My phone is still on 2.1 and was rooted using Unleash the Beast.
Anyone have the same problem, or any ideas? Is there a folder that holds texts somewhere in the root file system that I can clean out?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much detail about the problem as possible, this has been annoying me for weeks.
Try deleting the email alert? Just spitballing...
This happened to me last night!
I keep getting the same Ghost Txt message
The only way i can think to get rid of it would be a Data Reset.
But i dont wanna erase my whole phone cuz of a software issue that may happen again!
Have u fixed it?
No, still no luck on this. Anyone have any ideas?
I had a problem similar to this with the dumb phone that i had before my Captivate. I called AT&T customer support because I didn't want to reset my phone and they got it resolved. Apparently there was a message stuck in their server marked as unread, but since it had been read on my phone it said 0 new messages. This might work for you, too?
Solved
Open the spot where notifications are read the phone number and send a text to it, it will open the message thread and you can delete it there
Hi, so I tried to send an MMS once and it was sent, but the person did not receive it (i don't know why. crappy phone, lack of settings). Now every time I would try to text someone, that picture would pop up and I would have to remove it.
Afterwards I just deleted the picture from my phone and I started getting "Protected file, cannot send." instead of the image. I put the photo back with the same name in the same place and I still get this error.
Does anyone know what I can do to stop this? It's annoying, I always have to wait a few seconds for the message to go away so that I may use my keyboard.
Thanks.
Really weird, something unexplainable.
