automatic resend of failed sms

Is there any way to configure automatic sms resend?
I've found that if the message is not send due to coverage conditions or simply by failure, then it stays that way until you manually resend it.
If windows mobile does not include this, then, is there any app that will help me out with this?
Thanks!

this is my problem too..

It's a great point. I would also love to see a fix for this. Nokia N95 and others work well by rescheduling unsent messages for 5 minutes later.

I've been searching for ages but haven't found a way to do this yet.

Would be really handy if this was possible.

Agreed, I'm used to this on every single phone I've had and was shocked when I discovered a whole folder full of unsent when I got this phone - particularly after insisting to people I had sent the messages!

So we all agree the diamonds signal is crap? lol

i have just got my diamond and not yet been to my place of work with it looks like i am going to get this problem as the signal is already crap
gary

One thing I have found with the diamond is that holding your hand over the ariel (the top rear of the phone) really does make a difference!
Hope this helps you a little

You guys should try and test out some different radios. Check the Radio thread in ROM Development.
I tried them all and .07 is best for me, but that might not be best for you depending on your carrier, etc. Some radios give better reception but might chew your battery more, I guess it's a tradeoff (maybe).
I think once you find the best one for you it will be all good. I think the Diamond reception is fine!! I don't really have any problems with it.

Actually you're quite right, I remember someone giving me that advice before, just too lazy to get round to doing it

I agree it would be nice to have the resend SMS feature, I've had a good look around, and it seems it's only solved with 3rd party products..

[Confirmed] Fix to battery life

Since battery life has been a long term issue for most people with the Diamond, I found this:
It seems that one of the major issues is that the battery amount is polled so often that it actually drains the battery a LOT.
There is a registry edit you can perform that is confirmed working on CDMA(being tested on GSM) phones, and battery life is really great now!
What you have to do:
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery in a Registry Editor.
Change the value of the "PollInterval" to HEX 4E20(or use decimal 20000)
Soft reset your device
Juicy said:
Dear Chefs/Users,
I wanted to share with you, what I believe to be the source to the better battery life on my 2.4.X Roms.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery]
"PollInterval"=dword:4E20
I've shared the fix with Ghetto, and he has confirmed, and will likely incorporate the reg into future iterations of the kitchen.
Original credit goes to DCD (XDA) as I noticed this was a registry from his old Titan Kitchen.

I don't even have PollInterval. Added it and rebooting the device now. It's worth a try at least

Didn't have it either. I added it as a new DWORD, hope is right. I will post any difference. Thanks.

Would this help the battery life on the Titan too?

Not exactly sure, this is my first HTC device. However, I'm 90 percent sure(read thru the original thread) that this was first found on the Titan, so it should work.
--
To those who didn't have PollInterval, Juicy has had it in his rom, and so have a few others. I have a Sprint CDMA original rom, and it was in my registry.
However, the general consensus is that it's working great

I think this might only be for CDMA phones. I think I have seen this hint before in another forum and it was only for CDMA phones. I did apply it and it did no harm although I am not sure that it made any difference.
I think I will be addng it to my newly flashed ROM again.

I might have been incorrect when I said it works for GSM, it may not.
However, it is worth a try!

i don't believe the diamond has any battery life issues. it just has a small battery.

I have been using this tweak for a while and havent really noticed any big diff. Maybe 5min more of batt? if so. But every little bit helps
Greets to all.

I have the Key, but when I try to edit it (hex or decimal) I get.
"Write Error: Access Denied"
"Cannot Write Value Data. Try Again"
Anyone run into this issue before?
I am on a Stock ROM editing with CERegistyEditor.

well it doesnt seem to work for me this.
Battery Standard battery, Li-Ion 900 mAh
Stand-by Up to 285 h
Talk time Up to 5 h 30 min
What i want to know is how HTC managed to get this type of life out of the diamond.

Small battery...

Finally, someone with a brain in their head! I've been saying this for the last six months... everytime someone winges about the 'battery life' issue! Why do you think the device is so small and sexy? You can have your precious Diamond last for a week on one charge if you'd prefer it to look like a brick (or even worse... that Steve Jobs phone!!)

Well this has been confirmed to be CDMA only =/.
But however running grooveROM I can get an insane amount of stuff done:
tons of data
tons of music, videos
etc.
and have plenty of life

Look around for PHM Regedit in which you install to the phone itself, or download CeRegEditor, which installs on your pc and accesses your phone's registry via USB.

The battery is fine. Mine will easily go for 2 days (unplugged at 8am on day 1 and charged at 10pm on day 2) with moderate use.
This includes:
+3hrs TOTAL talk time
send & receive about 30 texts
5-10min TOTAL on EDGE/wifi
If I didn't mention other things, then I didn't use them.

Well mine lasts only till evening with only usage of talkin on the phone few sms's here and there and maybe a few mins at the most on wifi and tht's it!!!! the only way i feel u can really save on the battery is to manually dim ur screen way down and when it is night time reduce it compelety then I manage to make the phone last till the nite where I can recharge it .....
But all in all I agree the battery is jus too small fer the Diamond and I don't think a registry edit will make any major difference....

Admittedly I don't make many calls, but I get at least a couple hours of talk time or about 4 days without charging.
edit:
no wifi, 1 or 2 messages a day, much of the day with no or little signal

hi all
i want help please from the experts , i have some questions about the X1 ,
1- is there is any differences between the silver and the black color in the speed issues or any other difference ?
2- upgrading to wm6.5 with pure rom has any drawbacks like battery runs out so quick or makes the phone slower ?
3- is the sliding mechanism still stable after usage long time ?
4- the loud speaker volume is it loud enough ?
while i'm browsing the forums i found a lot of problems that the xperia's owners face , like cam stop working , the phone not boot , screen stop working , is this a reason of something like careless in usage or flashing the rom or any other reason ?
all of this reasons push the fair on me before i but the X1 , please experts i need help from you to reassure me b4 i buy it , especially the speed of the phone because has a lot of complains about the speed and response of the phone .
thank you waiting your soonest reply

1. There are no differences in speed in regards to color.
2. I haven't used the Pure Rom.
3. The sliding mechanism is the best I have ever seen, felt, and used.
4. The Loud Speaker Volume is not loud enough in public places of with the television on. Not suggested for music playback.
No, I have not faced these problems on my X1
Yes, the phone is extremely slow for a Windows Mobile device.
Also, there are more problems that you should be aware of. After a long span of use, the device will show cracks and lose it's paint. Second, the keyboard will lose it's sensitivity within 2 years (phones are suppose to maintain a functional keyboard forever).

Thirded. Ultimately the only major problem I haven't been able to solve either through Sony repair or tweaking is the sluggishness of the phone. I would say that I now have a phone that does nearly everything I want, but it's fairly slow. I also wish the camera and video recording were better, but they are better than what you might expect on a WM phone, I guess.
ps welcome back Orelsi. Where the hell you been???

Thanks . Good to be back.

Replacement = Even more problems.

Had a n6 with half purple screen and had it exchanged.
This new one is horrible ..
It seems to get really warm compared to the other and when it does, boy does it lag. Just typing this out, it's lagging.
I also noticed that my Bluetooth has "silence" spots while listening to music. Every 2-3 minutes, it will stop for a split second like it can't buffer, even if the music is on the device.
Another thing that may just be me, it seems the keyboard doesn't predict as well, like it's not even touching the keys I'm swiping.
Lastly, half the screen is white and half is a really yellow color. Very irritated by this device. Makes me want to throw it against a wall.

Your first problem can be resolved by using a custom kernel that does not use mpdecision. Mpdecision is known to be power inefficient and sends your CPU to be sitting in wasteful frequencies causing your phone to generate additional heat. My phone became really warm with mpdecision on.
Secondly, I don't use bluetooth so I can't comment.
Third. That isn't a N6 problem, its a problem with the software of the keyboard application that you're using. SwiftKey works great for me.
Fourth, can't really comment on that. My screen looks good, your phone should be uniformly the same color, you can try changing RGB and see if it would do anything. I recommend turning off adaptive brightness.

Good suggestions I suppose.
Only problem with those, I'm not gonna root or use a custom kernel. The last n6 only had a faulty screen and no other problems. That one didn't need any custom root activities.

If you don't root, or use ROM's then why post about it on a developer forum? I'm not trying to be rude just wondering why here. If it has more issue call moto and have them send a new one. My RMA phone is fine 0 issues so far and I'm happy with it.

This is a user forum as well as a developer forum.
I'm posting here to show there is problems with these phones.
Why does it matter to you?

If you are having those problems on stock, and don't want to root/etc, then your only option is to return it again. Pretty simple.
If you are looking for confirmation that your experience isn't 'normal' on the stock phone, I can confirm it is not.

I'm not trying to argue at all I was just curious. I would have the phone replaced if you want to gave those issues fixed without modifying the phone. Best of luck with the issues because it's not fun when you can't fix them.

I scratch my head also. XDA is a developer's forum. There are tons of other sites more suitable to those not wanting to root/ROM it up.

Sounds good. Let's discuss dbrand skins and the such.
I doubt this has anything to do with memory leaks or anything that's been discussed on lollipop.

I'd say you have a faulty SOC and I would replace it. My wife had similar issues on an S5 where it would stutter and fall behind almost and get warm. The icing on the cake was while taking video, normal 1080p video, and it would drop frames like crazy. Maybe 22fps or so was al, it was getting.

I actually agree with 20degrees on this one... There are tons of non development/customization threads on here, and XDA has a pretty knowledgeable user base so it is a convenient one stop shop for info.
People just need to ignore/keep their comments to themselves in the Q&A and general sections if they have nothing constructive to add to the topic of the thread.

Insane Battery Life

Hello guys!
I wanted to make a battery calibration on my Galaxy S21 5G and i made a battery test on the road.
The phone is 5 months old.
So this is the measurement from 100% battery to 3%.
The Screentime is 11 hours and 56 min. (always on wifi) & 40 min. of music streaming on 4g (9% battery).
I think the Screentime is fantastic!
I used some tweaks from here:
[DISCONTINUED] Samsung Galaxy One UI - Optimization Guide
THIS IS A SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION FOR SAMSUNG DEVICES OUT OF SUPPORT/CLOSED I - RECOMMENDED SETTINGS To Start With - Factory Reset before starting optimisations - Factory Reset after every Major update (One UI/Android) - Remove SIM before first...
forum.xda-developers.com
and the Screen was constantly on 48Hz with Galaxy Max app.
The Performance was completely fine.
Now if this is with 48Hz, imagine what insane battery life can you get on a Galaxy Ultra with 10Hz.

Thanks for the tag, glad i helped

Basically you transformed your S21 into an S7 or S8, you might as well bought a nokia 3310 to deactivate all the features of a phone, or changed brands....

It doesn't make sense anyway, so changing the brand of phone your approach is weird in my eyes, having an S21 to make it as interesting as an older generation smartphone, you might as well buy older generations. You will gain 2x more battery again. A nokia 3310 would last 1 week in autonomy, that would be more suited to your needs. Sorry

Damn, you turned off all these features and crippled the phone but left a super obvious optimization untouched.
Using WiFi calling, you can enable airplane mode, effectively turning off your whole cellular radio.
While I'm at home, my phone is always on airplane mode, so it's not looking for towers, switching networks, etc. Depending on your provider and location, it can noticeably help with battery drain, mostly in standby.
Also...wtf Norton 360? It looks like it used a ton of battery and it's such a grandma move to have Norton on your cellphone. It's just weird to remove all the nice features of the phone, for which you paid, al in the pursuit of better battery life, but leave obvious things like this in... just my $0.02
