Ok, I just got my Tilt a few weeks ago, and there is this one last problem I still can't figure out. I have searched the forum extensively but I still can't find an answer. My MMS/texting, what ever you want to call it won't work. I cant send text messages and I can't receive them. I don't think it has anything to do with the Tilt exclusively because I cant send/receive them on my old RAZR V3. Is there any thing that could have happened with my sim card that got messed up? I have Dutty's newest rom and the radio is 1.62.08.21.
did u install the att settings cab, its in my signature.
**i am assuming you are with att since it is a Tilt, but then again you never STATED who the provider is**
I'd say if it is not working on your other phone, call up ATT Cust care and have them take a peak. Maybe sms is blocked on your acc for some reason.
I had those same settings before, so I guess all I can do now is call.

Hi there,
As you can probably see, im new on the Forum. Been using it for years and always found an answer to any of my problems without posting but im stuck with this one.
Im having trouble with my QTEK 2020i. For some reason it has stopped recieving SMS. Everything else works fine. I can send SMS out, MMS works fine and no problem phone calls. My service centre number is right, ive changed my SIM twice and still having the problem. Should I do a ROM or Radio upgrade to see if it will fix my problem or does it sound as if the phone it self needs repaired?
Cheers,
Gus
I would doubt it was hardware. I take it that you can make phone calls and can send SMS. So it must be down to the notifications.
I'd take a backup and then do a hard reset. If it then works you know that it is a software problem and can investigate if you want to or just re setup your device.
Ive done 2 hard resets and it still isnt working. would I be beter doing a ROM upgrade?

As the title says having trouble sending or receiving texts. I could imagine this could be a number of things so I dont know where to start. I am running dutties software and kaiser tweak... think I tweaked something to stop letting me text?
I installed the O2 SMS Plus program, and for some reason it prevented me from getting texts. Just a thought.
Also, check your radio
Everything seems to be functioning... hmmm. This might be a hard reset issue. Although hopefully not as its a pain to reinstall everything. I turned on sent message notice and I get it so its trying to send em!
I completely hard reset my device to Dutties... still cant send and recieve texts!!!!
Whats your provider? Alot of AT&T people have been having issues recently with the data/messaging plan do you have another phone you can plug your sim card into and test?
If I had to wager a guess, I'd say that you have some corrupted directories on your actual storage card, which is why the hard reset didn't help.

Make sure your SMS message center number is correct, for your provider. Each provider has their own settings. If it's AT&T, you can go to http://wireless.att.com/support.
On that page you can find help for your device and SMS in particular. If you have a different provider, you're on your own.
Wow lot of great ideas here. My first plan of action is to load the new version of Dutty's on to see if that has an effect. I have checked the message number. I hate calling tech support because I always talk to some guy who's been with the company about a week and doesnt even know what the **** a tilt is. Hes like... who makes it. I say HTC. He asks whats that stand for? I say I have no ****ing clue. He says he needs a manager. Im like WTF!
I had the same problem before. I suggest calling your provider and make sure you have messaging turned on. Sounds dumb but i had switch data plan and it took off unlimited text mesaging (new data plan didnt have unlimteid text messaging as a bundle) one day and right after i flashed q-mobile. Thinking it was the rom the whole time it turned out i didnt have texxt messaging turned on.
you know......maybe before reflashing your phone or hard resetting it, maybe you should first pop the sim into another phone and see if you can actually sms or not
to late for that but Ill try that now
Ahhh it is my sim card!!!!!!!! Damnit I lost it alll via hard reset. Should have been more patient, now I gotta call those losers and biatch them out!
Called them up my text message plan somehow fell off my plan. -sigh- Now I lost all my games and apps. Owell I can update to the latest Dutty's!
Recently I ran into a really annoying problem on my Tilt. About a week ago the vast majority of my texts started bouncing back. But here's the weird thing: It affects certain contacts more than others. Some contacts can't get my texts at all anymore. None. And they are all on different carriers, from Verizon to T-mo.
The other thing is that the text doesn't bounce back immediately. It can take a few minutes to hours later and THEN I get a "Cannot send message. Try again?" That's pointless. . .hours have gone by and NOW you tell me you can't send it?
It's made texting practically worthless.
It's a Tilt with the HTC OEM 6.1 ROM and radio, HARD SPL 3.56 and no other tweaks. I'm on T-mo and have talked to them and it's not a network issue. I reflashed the phone already. I also replaced my SIM with no effect this week. All other settings for messaging is correct. Nothing has changed on my end for this to happen.
It's killing me. What gives? Anyone else have this problem?
I have it with my wing on tmobile... due to there being no signal or crappy signal. Think of it as a dropped call
Hmm, I suggest using HTC Connection Wizard and see if that works. Cause I know that some people don't enter the settings correctly. Just try that. If not then I dont know.
It's not signal strength. I live in Orlando, FL. And this happens everywhere in the city. It is also a new problem. I have been here for months with this phone.
The settings are correct. The HTC ROM picks up the settings from the SIM card. I also went through all the settings with Tier 3 support at T-mo.
Just recently bought a At&t Tilt off of Ebay and it originally came with the stock 6.0 rom. Well I upgraded to 6.1, and still had a few issues with text messaging. Then I Hard-SPL it, and loaded the HTC 6.1 rom and I like it much better. Well my phone works awesome, but the dang thing still has problem receiving picture messages. I use tmobile as my carrier, but I roam on att towers sometimes. Well before with my nokia phone, I never had a problem with any kind of messages. Now since I got this tilt, messages just don't seem to get to me. I can have a friend right next to me send me a picture message with text, and my phone never even bothers to say that I have a message. But if he sends a text message, the phone will get it. So what is going on here? I mean I can deal with it, but sorta sucks that I only get half of my text messages. Any one else got this problem?
Okay, I found this while searching the forums:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader
"Accept"="application/vnd.wap.mms-message;*/*"
"Profile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-2.0.xml"
"x-wap-profile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-2.0.xml"
"User-Agent"="Xda Mini S/arcsoft-mmsua-3.0.0.xx"
Apprantelly this tells the carrier what kind of phone I have. Well what should I change my settings to, so tmobile will send me my mms? Already tried the cab that was built, but it didn't really change much. Ideas?
Hey everyone,
I face a SMS sending problem. I'm texting to Australia quite often and I'm (different to my t-mobile button above) with E-Plus. A long time me and my partner down under had no trouble sending/receiving text messages. But lately only half my texts get through.
We had a problem earlier this year when she was with Optus. All of a sudden my messages did not get through anymore. All of them. Then she changed to Vodafone and it seemed to work. But E-Plus (I'm actually with MedionMobile, just using E-Plus network) made their messages cheaper and now I face this problem!
It's really anoying. Now -
when I have such a problem - does it have anything to do with my Radio / Rom installed on the phone? Or is this just a network fault?
Would changing to Vodafone solve this problem since Vodafone Germany and Vodafone Australia are partner networks?
It's just that E-Plus is so much cheaper (1/3 of the price for a SMS!)
Please try to help me!
Is your operator billing you for the txts? If so, you can be sure they're transferred to your operators server correctly and your phone's alright. But you probably won't be able to get a deeper insight into what happens after that- if and where your txts are lost....
Changing networks MIGHT help, but don't count on it.
You might wanna try sending your txts using an internet-based service?! just to check... and, btw, that might be cheaper, too. I remember seeing a tool that allows you to send txts via internet-based services from your xperia using your data connection. i just can't seem to find it right now.
first: thanks for your help!
My operator is billing me for the text messages, yes. So they send it correctly. I even tried out to get a confirmation for sent items, you know? I always get the message that it has been delivered. But then she does not get the message...
I tried out to send messages from two of my class mates and from my mums phone as well as from my dads phone. Their messages all get through...
I think I know what you mean with internet based SMS sending. Innosend is such a service, huh?
But items sent throught that service do not get stored in my SMS store...But I will try it out, I guess. As well as I try a Vodafone SimCard.
I hope there is nothin wrong with my phone...
Out of interest, what phone does your partner have?
Oh, I think you got me there. Long time it was a Sony Ericsson...older one. But she got a new one two weeks ago or so. But I don't think it's her phone because the fault occured on both, her old and her new phone. I'll write it in here as soon as I know...
Ah ok cool. The reason I was asking: When I got my Xperia I soon realised that my gf was only getting around half the texts I was sending. It drove me crazy as nothing seemed to fix it - I got my phone replaced, she got hers replaced, we both got new SIMs. Just like you, the texts were showing up on bills, and O2 could see them going through their message centre, so they could not identify the problem.
Eventually I figured it out, my gf did not receive my messages when they were longer than a single message. Anything more and it simply did not show up on her phone (LG Renoir), but still seemed to send successfully and show up on my bill. I then realised that the same thing happened when sending long texts to my friend (also an LG, but a Viewty). They can both get long messages from other people, just not me, so I think there must be some sort of incompatibility between the Brands/softwares.
Probably of no help to you really, but maybe you send long messages too?
No, it's fine since I experience such a thing on my own now. Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna ask her what kind of phone she uses now. Today I removed the SIM Card from my phone and replaced it. The Xperia did a new setup on my network and afterwards my 2 sent messages came through. Maybe I just had to do that because I flashed a new Rom and later a new Radio without renewing my network options...
As you, I do not have a clue where the problem is...But also takin my mums T-Mobile Sim Card in my phone she got all messages. I believe it's the operator...I keep you guys updated when I have my Vodafone card or if it should work normally now...
Thanks for your help. Always appreciated!
edit:yes, I experienced that longer messages have less chance to get through. Sometimes they are messed up or just the first part (first 160 characters) get through...hmm
