Hi all, I have a couple of problems with my HTC Diamond on orange, i've searched through the forums and cant find the answers.
It's on the latest orange ROM.
1. Message was not sent try again?
I get this message now and again when there is no sms signal. My question is why do we get it at all, in most other phone, its puts the message in the outbox and sends when it gets a signal. Is there a tweak to force this. This flipping thing has caught me out more than a number of times by not sending pretty important texts.
2. Text not clearing when sms is sent
My diamond appears to keep the last word put into an SMS message in the input area which means it doesnt shrink, so i cant see the screen properly. The only way to clear this is to delete the remaining text. I think this is the case whether i use T9 predictive or normal text.
3. another one, I saw on the HTC site a tool to backup all your settings etc on the diamond but i typed in my serial number and it said not available for this device? are there any reasons for this? any other options?
Appreciate any help you can give
David
Just a couple of frustrations, otherwise the new rom has speeded things up great
1) I think this is normal WM behaviour. The message will have exceeded a set number of retries, so it's moved back to the drafts folder to prevent your battery getting drained. At least you get a warning! I only ever had this happen once, on NYE, so perhaps you just live in a bad signal area or need to flash a different radio.
2) This is a bug with the HTC keyboards. Attempting to dismiss the extra characters often results in the last word you typed being entered twice. It's one of the reasons I stopped using the HTC keyboards and started using TouchPal instead. There were a couple of other reasons too, including better operation in Opera and greater readibility in threaded texts - and that's before you get to the extra functionality. I wouldn't change back now if you refunded me 3 times the purchase price!
3) I know nothing about this tool but there are plenty of other backup tools available if you search for them.
3) you have an orange branded device. If the software was paid for by orange, then you would be allowed to download it.
Despite the fact that the device was made by HTC, legally, you have an orange product and HTC are not obliged to offer you any support or downloads whatsoever.
and yeah, you can find that particular backup tool if you look hard enough...!

Hi there
I've been having issues with SMS on WM6 - the OS issue is the only common thread between the two devices I have had trouble on.
It all started after I upgraded my JASJAM to WM6 using some of the cooked roms on this forum. Short Messaging would work for a while, and suddenly go on the blink with all messages you try to send remaining in the Outbox. You also dont RECEIVE SMSs. WHen I checked with the operator, they confirmed that messages are being recorded as 'delivered' on their system.
Funnily, I would start receiving SMSs every time I changed a ROM (and I tried out different WM6 ROMs for Tytn) before it went on the blink again. The problem also occurred across multiple networks when I roamed, so it wasnt network-specific.
The issue was not brought up at the Forum as I was planning to upgrade to Tytn II as soon as it came out. And so I did (upgrade, I mean) last week when the device was released in Dubai.
Surprise, surprise - I still have the SMS issue. I was able to send & receive SMSs for a while, and it went on the blink again after I received 2 or 3 replies.
I'm now convinced that this has something to do with the receipt of Short Messages, but would like to check if any of you have had the same issue.
For the record, I have tried the following to try and solve the issue:
1. Soft reset.
2. Deleting the Inbox folders on my storage card.
3. Turning Push Mail off (I assumed it has something to do with the two messaging streams being on all the time).
4. Clearing all SMS folders of their contents.
5. Turning "Delivery Notification" and "Use Unicode Messaging" options ON and OFF, together and separately.
6. Turning my SMS signature on and off.
In short - I've done everything short of a hard reset. I know the damn thing will work for a while if I hard-reset, but I cannot bring myself to redo all the customizations I have carried out on the new device, particularly the GPS software installation.
HELP!
Just a thought - did you try replacing the SIM card you are using?

Its not network or SIM card specific - I have had the same problem with about 6 different SIMs (I travel a lot).
BUZZ!!!
Any ideas, guys?
Are we really talking about a jasjam?
That's not a TyTN II / Kaiser, is it?

We're talking about the Tytn II / Kaiser / P4550.
I mentioned JASJAM because I had the same issue when I upgraded to WM6 on my Jasjam.
i'm not being able to send sms with the default program... looking for an alternative to try
edit: installed sms threader for wm6.... that seemed to help, i was able to receive text from skype and from myself... of course the text i was originally trying to send still won't go...
I was finally able to send the sms to the contact I could not connect to before. instead of texting from inside of "messaging" and adding a contact as a recipient, I selected the "send text message" option in the contacts area. oh, the reason I think the sms threader helped pertains to the test sms I sent through skype being received directly afterward. there was a twenty minute gap between send and receive.... it could all just be coincidence.... and works when it feels like....
Figured out the issue - since the problem occurred on my Hermes after I upgraded to WM6 and continued on my TytnII I assumed it had to do with some of my add-on software not being WM6 compatible.
True enough it was a vcard application I have been using for about 3 years now across multiple PPC Phone devices that was causing the issue. Removed the software, reset and my problems have disappeared.
Now I need a stable, light vcard application that I can trigger from contacts. Suggestions, anyone?
well, i think the format i have the number i'm trying to text to is saved incorrectly.... what format works for people country to country?
i'm trying to reply to a norwegian text, and it never goes through. i know can receive them no problem... there is no issue for sending or receiving texts within US... did not have this problem under WM5...
hi all,
I text a lot with a person from a different timezone (they are GMT, I am GMT+1) and the messages I recieve have the timestamp of the originating timezone instead of mine... this has happened on a WM5 device (ipaq) as well as my new tytnII, but wasn't happening on other phones (SonyEricsson K750 and M600 (which is Symbian))
it doesn't annoy me as such, as much as it bothers advanced messaging programs... I've tried 3 different threaded SMS applications and they all get very confused by it
has anyone come across this problem before? any known solutions?
thank you!!
Don't know about you, but this quirk annoys ME very much.
It causes my text messages NOT to sort properly by Received date.
(I'm in south east Asia, receiving text messages out of New York and Zurich).
Try PocketCM. The smsintercept.dll rewrites the timestamp to when it was received. Although it doesn't always work.
I tried pocketcm (do I need to do something special with it or just have it installed?) and nothing happened
my normal sms notify still comes up tho, it just shows pocketcm under it
What version did you try?
the one offered for download? 0.18?
Dunno. Works for me.
I am having the same issue, very very annoying, especially when texting people in 2 different timezones, keep having to scroll to the top and back down again!!
I tried PocketCM, but that doesn't change the received time, and its threaded messages (looks great btw), get screwed up by the confused timezones.
Surely there must be a way for pocket outlook to sort by received rather than sent, seeing as nearly every other phone out there doesn't have this issue!
Nobody have any ideas on how to 'fix' this?
I used to be annoyed with my old phone (SE M600 (symbian)) that used "recieved" time to sort the messages (meaning delays and turning off the phone messes up the time)... I'd gladly go back to being annoyed with that instead of this...
can anyone hack together a solution for this?
I'm offering a bounty of 50$ to the person who posts a solution for this
thanks!
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!!!!!
Dear developers and experienced people,
I have got a problem with the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV. When switched on, the phone always tries to send a registration SMS to the number 72059. With a non-T-Mobile SIM this results in an error status message. I don't know, whether this SMS attempt costs me money.
Is there any possibility (via registry etc.) to prevent the phone from sending this SMS WITHOUT flashing a new, unbranded ROM?
I wonder if noone else has noticed this already...
Thank you!
I havent' had this at all and i have an MDA C4, is this with a new ROM install or anything?

I just tested with a non German SIM, I don't get the error with that. I guess the error (short number not available) is an O2-specific error message, other providers don't react at all. But I guess the phone nevertheless attempts to call/message this T-Mobile internal number.
Edit: no new ROM, MDA just out of the box.
Maybe the phone does not try to send an SMS to the MyFaves number, but it is some kind of SIM Toolkit function?
Perhaps this behaviour would stop if I let it connect once with a T-Mobile SIM?
I have news again about this topic. The number this message is sent to can be found in the registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\My5\SMSC]
"SendNumber"="72059"
If I change this number to an empty value or if I delete the whole My5 tree from the registry, I don't get these errors anymore. Nevertheless I don't know whether for example in roaming I am billed for SMS attempts to an empty number.
Could anyone find out whether MyFaves fully stops sending messages if these keys are deleted or if it only sends messages to empty numbers in this case?
I did a lot of testing during the last few days. My results were kind of disturbing:
When in a home network, the MDA sends a silent SMS to the MyFaves number. Of course this number does not exist in most networks, but you also do not get an error message about it.
But when used in roaming, these SMS are charged. So everytime you switch on your mobile phone, you are charged a SMS from the foreign roaming network, even if the message has no valid target.
The registry key with the number can be changed, so I changed it to my own number. The resulting SMS did not show any meaningful plain text, but some binary looking glyphs instead. Since the message has got oversize, I was actually charged for 2 SMS!
The only way to circumvent this behaviour is to delete (or rename) the My5 tree from the registry. When switched on, the phone adds the tree again, but with empty values. Since there is no number to send to, the SMS is suppressed and does not cost any money in roaming.
Conclusion:
This is not a good behaviour for a SIM lock free phone. If someone does not know this, he/she has a bill of about 15 Euro/month just for switching the phone on every day. Since the phone does this quietly, most people would complain with their provider rather than finding the phone guilty.
Hello everyone,
I already posted a question in another existing thread, but I couldnt get an answer so far.
My Problem is the following:
I have the HTC Kaiser, I bought it unlocked on ebay and put a AT&t Sim Card into it. Everything works fine but it wont vibrate on Text messages. It can play a sound on text messages and it can vibrate on phone calls but not on new Messages. Ive been to the Sounds and Notifications menu multiple times but everything is set on vibrate. I also downloaded kaiser Tweak, but there is only an option for sent Notifications.
I hope You guys can help me!
I have that too!
I have a tilt with the att branded 6.1 rom on it, and it would often reset the vibrate setting to no vibrate on text messages. Usually my own override lasted as long as I didn't reset the machine.
I assumed it was my company's activesync settings, but now I'm not sure. I'm reflashing it and will do the soft reset on the bottom when it says 3 (EDIT - it doesn't seem to work on the 6.1 distro) seconds until it's ATTified, and will try the official patch for the backlight hotfix (plus probably some tweaking from http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/howto/how_to_customize_your_tilt.html ). Hopefully this will fix it...
hello,
thank you for your anwer.
please let me know if it worked aftewr you tried it.
Actually, so far so good, the official re-image with the htc patch and playing with some kaisertweak settings (probably unrelated) corrected the no-vibrate issue. I'm seeing text that I type in the screen on IE not show up anymore though (think typing in to google search and not seeing what you typed), so I'm thinking of trying it kaiser-tweak-less. Also, when sending/receiving email, the status menu at the bottom is more often missing. I'm hoping these issues are all software and not hardware.
