I was sent a picture message which arrived fine but since then it keeps coming back as a new message despite me not deleting the original. I have spoken with Vodafone who tell me it's a problem with the phone. Surely this is a software issue not hardware? Vodafone want me to return the phone for them to look at, I have no spare and dont really want to send it back if I dont have to. It is still as it came out of the box, no extra software installed and no ROM changes. Came shipped with Windows 6.1, apart from this issue, everything else is working fine. Has anyone else had this?
I've had the same problem. I haven't figured it out myself, either.
I will note, though, that I haven't had the problem since I flashed it with a new ROM, and I've gotten MMS messages since then.

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?

Had my O2 Steller (rebranded kaiser) with the original ROM for about a month and I cant believe it but i think its turned into a brick.
The problem I have is even though it gets a full signal I cannot send or recieve calls, texts or transmit any data. When the fault happens during a call I have the phone looking like it is connecting with the dialler but immediately ends the call.
I had initially thought it was maybe a bit of software causing the prob so removed any software I had installed , (HTC home Skype and google maps) this had no effect. Tried another sim card in case mine was faulty, still no effect.
Spoke to a mate who suggested that I try a hard reset and this seemed to give me a solution with it working for a day but today it started to go faulty again.
Anyone else had any similar issues similar?
Really peaved as O2 cannot get me a new Kaiser for some time as they initially said they were no longer available, then said they were out of stock but had no idea when they would get stock back in. Tried to palm me off with lower spec phones.
Main concern is getting my kaiser working again, so any help with this would be great.
id try a hard reset once more.. if that fails, call your service provider. they might be the cause of the problem
not techinally a brick since you can turn it off and on and see some functions... I might recommend completely flashing the rom... that might solve the problem if it is indeed a software problem
Hi there
I'm having a slight problem with my O2 XDA Stellar in that every now and then, it lights up as if it's receiving a text, and then nothing happens. Each time this occurs I'm actually missing a text message! It's as if the message is received, but is not displayed or saved on the phone...
I only seem to have had this problem since upgrading to the official O2 WM6.1 ROM - however, my mate has a Vodafone branded Kaiser (V1615 I believe) on the original Vodaphone (UK) WM6.0 firmware and he's experiencing the same problem.
I run Kasperski Security Suite on mine which includes an AntiSpam scanner, sometimes this would pop up and allow you to 'whitelist' known numbers. I've entered the respective numbers (even duplicated the entry with a +44 version just in case) and it still happens. I've also tried disabling the AntiSpam and this makes no difference.
It seems to happen about once a day at the moment, and the worst thing is that it's most often texts from the wife that I'm missing (probably cos she texts me the most!) so I can get into a bit of trouble sometimes for not picking her up / doing stuff for her etc!
I was thinking of backing everything up with Sprite Backup, hard resetting and then restoring everything.
Quick edit: Just to specify that this happens to texts from all carriers, O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Virgin, Orange, 3...
Any idea's?
Bump!
Has no-one else had this problem and solved it?!
i know this won't solve your problem but try signing up for O2 Bluebook? it keeps a copy of your texts online so you can check there whenever you think you've missed one?

If you guys are running different versions of the OS, different radios, but the same carrier i'm guessing that it is a network issue and not a software issue.
i was runnin the 6.1 from o2 and its been fine no probs at all.
Hi guys!
Thanks for the replies!
Scotchua - I'm on O2 and my mate's on Vodafone so that kinda rules network out!
O2XDAEXEC - Well that's quite promising, I might try a hard reset and restore and see what happens...
I suspect something may be running in thr background when this happens. I set my mate's Voda Kaiser up for him as he's not too computer savvy, so it has most of the same apps I run on mine. I'm thinking one of those might be running periodically and somehow stopping the SMS being recorded?
Well, tried a Hard Reset and restore with Sprite Backup - got the Mrs to try a test SMS - nothing. And another - nothing.
I got her to do the *0# at the start of the message (prompts a delivery report on O2-UK) and my message came through and she got the report! Seems to have been fine since (fingers crossed).
I know no-one seems to have suffered the same problem but my phone lost another text this morning
Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!
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?
Hi all,
This has happened twice now, the first thing I know about it is when someone phones me and says "did you not get my text?"
I then proceed to send myself a text and nothing happens!
I have tried flashing new roms, different radio and still the missing texts to not arrive.
To get them to arrive I have to stick my sim into my partners nokia, one I get the missing texts my phone them works properly and I can receive all texts.
Has anyone heard of this before?
I'm on o2
