Hello,
I have search extensively with various keywords both in the top-level forums as well as Google and I cannot find a solution to this problem. Actually, I have only found one other person on another board who has even mentioned it (no replies yet) so I wanted to ask here.
I have an at&t Fuze and when I compose a message and type in a recipient name and select "Check Names" from the menu, it gives me a list of names and when I select one, it fills in the field correctly and then immediately crashes.
I have tried various cooked ROMs as well as the stock at&t ROM with them all producing the same results. Currently I am running Monx's ROMeOS 1.40.1 (which smokes BTW!) and I have tried every possible setting I can think of (including Adv. Config) to no avail. There are no other issues with the phone other than this. Could this be a HW issue? It might be a stretch considering the symptoms but I am willing to believe anything at this point...
Please Help!
Just found this thread - Im having the SAME issue... Im surprised that nobody else has the issue or that nobody else uses Check Names...
perhaps its a corrupt contact entry. Have you tried deleting and recreating it? Or is it happening for all contact entries?
Good thought - but unfortunately its happening for good contacts. Even NEW contacts. Occasionally it will find the contact, put the name in, then close out or when it cant find a contact, it will just close out. Furthermore, its only happening for e-mail message types. MMS/SMS the checknames function works fine...
I had the same problem with one of the latest ROMeOS 1.80.* versions.
Currently I don't have the problem with 1.95.1
If I remember right, if you start with adding the receipient it works, but if you first type your text message, and then add a contact, it will crash.
1.95.1 eh? Ill have to give it a go.
Mine will crash regardless of whether text is in the field first or not, i've tried both ways and have the same results.
In narrowing down the problem to add-on applications, did you have Xpress mail installed? or any other e-mail forwarding service? Im wondering if that has anything to do with it...
i've had the same issue as well.... but it's wierd..
if the contact is a personal contact, it works fine. if it has to search my business contacts (ota activesync/exchange 2007) it will crash.
@b_slice
No, don't have Xpress mail installed.
@godashram
I don't use business contacts.
Well, that helps to eliminate potential culprits.
godashram - Mine will crash regardless of contact type, business or personal
Just a +1 from me as well.
I'm using a HTC Diamond with the stock HTC 2.03 ROM. SMS crashes and goes back to Manila when using the 'check names' function.
It happens all the time: It doesn't matter which contact I try and it also doesn't matter if I've typed in a text message or not.
Programs running in the background are: Touchlockpro and Manila.
I hope someone can come up with the cause and the solution for this.
This seems to be an inherent bug in the Stock ROM. I've uploaded 4 to 5 ROMs from different chef's and NONE of them have this same issue.
Im currently rocking the Energy 3.0 WM 6.5 and contact searching and check names is working FLAWLESSLY.

I've asked this a couple other places, with no success yet...
What does it take to do MMS on one of these things? I've had Arcsoft MMS Composer suggested many times, but FINDING the thing has been impossible. Arcsoft goes on about it at length on their website, mostly about how various mobile providers are bundling it... but mine (Telus) isn't. They don't have a trial download, they don't list it in their store, they don't list anyone who sells it, and they don't even list a price (MSRP or otherwise).
So, does anyone know where I can find this thing? I don't mind paying (a reasonable amount) for a legitimate copy, IF I could find it!
Or suggest something else that might work...?
Thanks.
I know nothing about MMS. But I may have two leads.
I was just looking in a thread about YouTube on the S730, and followed the instructions to install support for it. I think ended up with support for MMS. TCPMP may come with it. If not, the flash plugin may add support. Both are available at www.ytpocket.com. A link on the home page provides tools and instructions for installing both. Free.
As I was composing this note, I checked the file association settings for CoreCodeC. They include MMS. Not free.
Hmm, not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I'm talking about Multimedia Messaging Service - aka Picture Messaging, as opposed to just Text Messaging (SMS). In other words, the ability to "text" someone's phone with an attached picture.
This doesn't appear to have anything to do with that, but I tried it anyway, just for giggles... didn't make any difference to my problem.
Thanks anyway though, it'll be neat having YouTube on my phone
I'm not sure what you are getting at? MMS support is built into the phone? You just go to Message > New > MMS ??
That's the way it should work. With the old standard phones (my RAZR, my V710, my wife's LG, my Treo 650) you can just snap a pic with the camera, go "Send picture", and enter a contact, and it sends straight to their phone, same as you would a text message.
Windows Mobile 5 included this function. 6 apparently doesn't. There's a third-party app that some providers have chosen to include to provide the functionality, but Telus isn't one of them.
WM6 does after all I'm using WM6 and it's in my phone. It looks like that for whatever strange reason your firmware has removed that option.
From what I've been able to determine, MMS support *is not* native to WM6, at least not Standard version. WM6S phones that have it, are generally using Arcsoft MMS Composer, as bundled into the OS by the specific wireless carrier.
This, at least, is the best information I've been able to come up with between this forum and a few others.

I just started the photo app, chose album, selected a picture, chose "Send via MMS" from the menu, and saw a dialog that sure seemed to let me compose a message. I didn't check whether it really did. All this on an HTC S730 (WM 6).
Hmm, alright, mine doesn't quite do that... it has a Send option that lets me select a mail account to use, and Text Message is grayed out.
Apparently though, that's something that's common to almost all HTC phones except those that Telus provides
I have a Tilt on Dutty's DualTouch v3 rom. everything has been running fine until a few days ago when I noticed that my Messaging services was unable to open and receive messages. i have clicked Messaging from the Start menu and even through the Today screen icons, yet nothing opens. All I see is the box with the circles loading and then nothing happens. I have had a bunch of people ask me if i received their texts and it seems that not only can i not open Messaging, but i am not getting any text messages or any email from my Gmail account that is synced up with Messaging. Can someone please offer me advise on how to fix this? i would prefer a fix that didn't involve installing another rom. thank you for your help.
No ROM, but no email either
Not an answer to your problem, but I'm having the same issue running on the factory ROM on my Tilt. I haven't installed anything new lately to account for the happening. The most recent install was Opera Mobile, but a quick uninstall yielded no improvements with Messaging.
I'm pretty much to the point of wiping the slate and starting over. Anyone else with this issue?

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?
Problem solved
Provider is AT&T, but I actually found another thread further down my search list:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350862
I actually had two directories that started with 'Inbox.mst2....' and I copied them to my computer before deleting. The first of the two deleted just fine, but the other wouldn't budge until I went in through the File Manager on the phone itself. Luckily enough, I didn't lose any of my messages or emails with all of this.
It could very well be linked to Xpressmail, but that's strictly a guess.

Ok I searched and didn't find anything so I'm posting here. Ok I purchased the program from iwindowsmobile.com called SMS chat. I like the program but for some reason it messed up my SMS messages. I would send some and they wouldn't send and also had problems receiving some. I uninstalled program and problems went away. I liked the program alot because of a clean interface but one thing I hated was that I would get weblinks sent to me from friends and the program did not allow me to copy the link or click on the link. I find that very annoying since people at work always send me links to different sites. Has anyone figured out a hack to get this working?
I am also going to add that I tried contacting the company, didn't work. I also tried to go into their FAQ section and there is no section. It keeps me at the same page. You would think copy and paste be something basic they'd include in the program.
Yeah..I use this app too. Those sms with links have to open through normal text messaging in the smschat folder, open normally and the link can be activated. Long way...emmm
i am also having issues with vito sms chat. im not sure if it is hardware or software related. it is only allowing me to send messages to one contact. whichever contact i select to message first, that is the only contact i can message. any others that i try to message after, it tells me "your text message cannot be sent" but when using the winMo sms, i have no issues. any ideas?
Hey guys the official Vito chat forumn for vito sms is found here: http://www.technologyatplay.com/main/forums/forum-view.asp?fid=165
Some or all your issues have been addressed at this link. I can definitely attest to the problem with opening links has been addressed. As you may be aware they're already on version 1.3 which has fixed quite a few issues. If your problem has not been addressed drop a line at the above address and within a day or two VitoI will answer your questions or at least address them
This is in the rom section because it is a rom related issue.
using both dutty's 3.4 and 6.5 R1, and also topix with manila 2.1 I get an immediate response with an "InvalidPduContent" error when i try to respond to a message via the manila threaded sms. i can send messages from standard winmo sms.
I have AT&T. I get the same error on both the Telstra T8285 and the T8282. I looked into the error futher and it seems it can be a problem with the following:
"to" field is being interpreted wrong. when i send a message to someone via manila, i check the "sent items" folder and the to field looks like this:
"Last, First" <14405551212>
the above is the only format that fails.
if i send a new message via manila (no existing conversation), it only shows the person's number in the To field like this:
(440) 555-1212
using default winmo sms it looks like this:
Last, First
has anyone found a solution to this issue other than disabling the manila sms portion? Hopefully this sheds some new light on the situation
I have the same issue. I dont know what is causing it but hopefully someone will fix it. I prefer using the manila for sms as it's alot nicer but for now it's back to the old, ah well...
I see what you mean as well with the incorrect format issue. It is appearing, on face value, to be interpreted as an email address not a phone number. If you get on e of the failed messages and click on the name that's what it's coming back with but the messages that went through ok when the number is clicked it goes straight to the Manila contact.
its a bug in the manila,newer versions works perfect,bud if someone know a solution,i have the same issue...
I had this problem also, then flashed Lost In Asia, v4 (v5 now) and had no problems. The fact that when you clicked to reply to a message, by default goes to the new manila sms system meant that these roms weren't an option for me. Try Lost In Asia if you have time, see if it solves your problem.
I had a Italian ROM (NextGen 1.7) and I no have this problem.
does nobody have a solution for this please
Some User Set Their SMS Sending Option To GSM , And The SMS Bug FIX For Them , Try This .
This is also being discussed in Dutty 3.6 thread. He gathered some information about provider, country etc.
It seems that T-Mobile and Orange suffer the most from this problem.
One solution could be that you add +AREACODE to the contact.
Dutty's V3.7 will be online soon and contain a small updated Manila. Have to see if this still has the same problem.
i work with topix 2.0 rc1 and have the sms issue,yesterday i have unlocked my hd with olipro tool,with the sms issue i can't send whitin manila and can't send to special numbers like the radio etc...
today i tryed again and the sms issue is completly gone!i dont understand bud maybe someone does?
is it because of the radio?the sim unlock or security,cid,i dont know.
maybe this info will help to solve the issue.
Been discussed in great detail on Duttys thread and it appears to be a mixture of unicode, location and carrier. However it has also been fixed on Duttys latest rom V3.7
I've seen a couple of threads on this across the web but theres nothing i've found that can fix it.
So,
I have a contact saved with 07... or +44...., i send an sms to them fine. They then reply and when i click to reply at the top i can see the number has automatically changed to 44 (no +), therefore the sms cant be sent and i get an error message. I have to close that conversation, go to the origional conversation and then retype and send.
Recieved sms, upon reply drops + and message failed.
This has only happened on a couple of contacts and others work fine. I have tried standard sms, Go Sms and hancent. None of them can resolve the issue.
I have tried 2.1, 2.2 JP5, JPU and 2.2.1 JPY (standard and custom ROMS) and all give the same problems with the same contacts.
There is literally nothing i can do to sort this.
I have tried deleting their contact and adding a new one, sync with facebook (get them to remove their number and add it in manually). Literally nothing i can do has got around this problem.
Please please someone help me. For a perminant solution i would be willing to donate via paypal.
Edit:
Is there any way to REPLACE the standard sms apk with a different one as Go sms and Handcent run off the standard sms app. Therefore, maybe a replacement (rather than an addon) would fix this bug??
Somethimes it hapened to me too.
When I tried to send it again for once or twice usualy it works.
Would be happy if someone can fix this.
please someone help!!? I will donate £10 (like $15,16ish dunno exchange rate)
Could it be a problem with the person who replies phone or network? As it only happens to a few it sounds like their phone or network is not enclosing the correct reply number with their text. Is that possible?
I'm experiencing the same problem. It only happens to one contact in my list. I've tried many things but cant solve the problem...

Sorry for late response,
finally i have got this sorted. i think it is a samsung rom issue either that or possibly go sms (although stock mms did it too). I am now running cm7 and have not had this issue once, if you aren't running cm7, i would highly recommend it, it is very fast and reliable, there are some bugs but it brings new features too. check it out
If deleting the whole thread fixes it, there's an app in the market that can fix it.
