SMS delivery notification - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok, dont kill me, the forum internal search did not spit out something seful ;-)
and google also not, and google sux!
my question:
i can tick the option, that i get every delivery of my short text checked, with an sms back, that the thing is done.
is there a possibility that all this works a bit more nicer?
no extra sms?
may be just a different color or symbol behind the sms?
like on my sony ericson or so?
any ideas or solutions?

I don't know if I understood exactly:
1. in message: click on all messages, then MENU -> TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> select SMS/MMS -> request delivery notification
2. when you send an SMS, if you look at all messages, if it was not delivered, you'll see an unopened envelope. When delivered, you'll see the envelope opened

@1.
yes i did activated that "request delivery notification"
but at my windows phone, the notification comes as an extra sms back to me.
on my sony phone (not windows mobile!) it came back and changed the status icon at the saved sms inside the "sent" folder...
on winmobile i have an extra anoying sms in my incoming folder...
@2.
do you have it smoother looking like i described my sony situation?
thanx in advance

just remove the 1st of my points. The thing with the envelope happens anyhow ... I have no 1 deactivated. I know that on sony ericsson there would be a message to inform receival, but it wouldn't be saved. It was a good idea

if i deactivate the recive approve message, then i do not know if the sms is actually arrived on the other phone!!!!
the nevelope icon change is only on oyur own phone i guess, only sent or unsend is displayed there i guess... without any information interaction with the outside world of your isp!

let me see...
edit: checked. So, I have number 1 disabled and still, when I send a message, when it's not received the envelope is closed. When received, the envelope has a yellow letter inside. To check, send a message, and fast press all messages (the bottom left option) and then you'll see. Tell me if it works with your topaz

no!
its like i ve said...
if the message left my mobe... there is the open envelope with the letter inside...
windows mobile does not have some hidden usage of a feedback-recieving-back-sms that changes the envelope icon...

okay,m but when you tap all messages fast after send, do you see the closed envelope or you don't see it at all?

hm..
please tell me in detail what actions you mean i should perform to get the special behavior.
when i tap the send button.
my text is added under the rest of the sms conversation (like on my iPhone)
me and the other persons sms mixed like a chat....
when i got quickly to all the sms-conversation-list...
"incoming" (or so, i have a german phone)
every envelope is opened (marked read)

strange ... when I I send a message, it is stored in oinbox, and when I tap (in the same menu) all messages, the message that I sent is in an enclosed envelope and then, it turns into an opened one ... :-? meaning it is received, or so I think :-?

when u tab it, its typicall outlook beahvior, then it shows, that you did read it ;-)
not the other person...
but bad luck, that no one else is contributing here :-/

will do some experiments though ... :-?. I think you are right ... sorry for my mistake ... there must be some options not to save the notification. Will search

Use SMS reports eraser. It's free and deletes the delivery report after a defined period of time.
No fancy colors or such, but does its job nicely.

thank you for this. Cheers!!!

it does only erase the reports?
does it also change the icons or so?
where does it come from? webpage?
AAAAAAAAAAAAND
thank you, by the way!!! ;-)

ok... i used google after posting my message...
sorry ;-)
just deleting is one way...
any other smoother looking way?

should try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529289

sorry, but do you really speak english and understand what you read and understand what you write?
do u understand the windows mobile and the pocket pc?
the thing you refer me too is again something different

that is a hotfix and directed you so that you should post there a question. Someone has tried it and maybe the HTC guys did something with the notification saved to messages. The idea was to ask there whether the messages were still saved. No matter, I'll ask 8-|

ok, sorry, u did mean well.
but again, the hotfix does something with the vibration, nothing else ;-)
no smooth designed coded solution for us ;-)

WM 6.1 and group (multiple recipient) txt msg burden

I've come across an burdening issue sending a txt with multiple recipients. Though the grouped chat style text messaging is an incredible advantage, there are some cons and i'm wondering if they can be fixed somehow.
Because of the chat style text messaging, your first outgoing message gets coped to your inbox. Is there any way for the first outgoing message to NOT be copied to your inbox?
This poses an issue for when you are sening a mass/group text message. For example, if i send out "Happy New Year" to 50 people in one text, i get 50 outgoing copies in my inbox.
Suggestions?
It doesnt really get copied, The threaded sms app just shows that you started a conversation with those recipients. I do see what your saying though, and i guess it can get somewhat annoying having all those open conversations in your inbox, BUT now you only have those 50 or so threads in your inbox as opposed to (like me) thousands of messages to scroll through. Plus as an added benefit you can see who replied in an orderly fashion. I for one would like the option to turn sms threading on/off, but I guess this is progress...

Well as much as i love it, i would like to see that the program doesn't show the started conversation on the first initial text message. It should show it when they reply. This would solve the group text messaging issue

If it's even something that can be edited... might be part of the program's code.
I'd like to be able to move the messages into another folder but cant seem to find out a way to do it as the option isnt highlighted

i think what you mean is be able to do a "group" send but i don't think so that is one of the options available under the sms application that comes on kaiser. You could search around for one that does enable that though, as i don't know of any (not that i ever looked for one, only text occassionally ).
when you create a new sms, where you put in the person you send it to, what i do is, hit the hard center button, and that brings up contacts, after you select the contact you want it returns to the send part of the sms, just keep repeating that process till you have all the people that you want to send it to. see if that works for ya or if thats what you wanted.

try that...quite a handy little app
Try SMS-Chat!

Insert Contact Info with Text

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the answer using the search engine. I've been playing around with the TILT while texting and I don't seem to see an option where you can insert contact information. This seems highly unlikely with such a high class phone so I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere. Is it insert vCard? When I try to do that it tries to connect to 3G and I don't want to be charged the data fee.
??? May need to clarify a little more??
I am not sure I fully understand your question. Are you saying that you don't see where to put the name or number of the person whom you want to send a text to? Also please advise what ROM you are running. I am sure everyone here can help you get it figured out. Good Luck, Kevin
I'm gussing that you want to send a vcard to someone.
Go to the contacts up, and select the contact you want to send.
The open the menu (right softkey) and select Send Contact->SMS\MMS
The reason why it is connecting to 3G might be that it is being sent as an mms (which needs a data connection), probably because it conatins a photo.

I think you mean where you insert the number of the contact. When you go to NEW SMS, then you tap on To:...... This then brings up the Contat app and you select whoever you want to text to. You can also use the D-Pad to do this.
I think I know what jwu222 means; when you're writing an SMS to someone, and you want to just drop in a number of a contact for them to use, it's commonplace on many other phones to hit menu > insert number or something to that effect, and voila, your SMS now reads:
"Hey man, here's <person>'s number, +4402blargh333" with no vCard BS.
There did seem to be an option back on windows mobile 6 to do this, and it didn't work or do anything (for me at least.) Upgrading to 6.1 has given me the ability to go Menu > Insert > vCard, bit this is not ideal as this changes it from an SMS (hence trying to connect to 3G) as well as trashing your message so the feature is still lacking.
CrArc has got exactly what I was talking about, sorry for the late response. So there isn't a way to do it like the simple phones huh?
Here ya go. Insert Contacts.
It integrates itself into the menu button while writing a text. It then brings up a crude version of your contacts list and you can choose the number to be inserted into the sms you are composing.
Try not to have too much fun with it!
thanks a lot for all your help that was exactly what i was looking for

Text message resend..? Help?

Is there any cab file out there for the AT&T tilt that would allow a message that can't be sent, due to no service, or receiving another text at the same time, ect... Is there any cab that would allow me a message resend button as opposed to having to open the drafts, open the text, send the text, open back up the inbox...?
If this doesn't exist, can anyone capable of writing code create me this hack? It would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced!
windows mobile 6.1 + "threaded" text messaging
if you are using a WinMo 6.1 ROM, threaded text messaging is enabled by default (if not enabled, use KaiserTweak to enable threaded messaging).
i clearly remember (because it has happened with me TWICE) that the threaded messaging view will display any unsent messages (within the thread) in RED color and will provide a clickable link labeled "Try again"...the function of the link is self explanatory
the combination of events you are talking about (sending a message exactly when receiving a message and/or a phone call) is RARE but it DOES happen...fortunately, i don't mind using the threaded messaging view and i get the resend link (in case of transmission failure for whatever reason) as a bonus
hope this helps...good luck!
It's not necessiarily rare to me as I text all the time, haha. I know what you're talking about, but I don't like threaded text messaging. It becomes slow and sluggish after a while. I highly appreciate the suggestion though!
Does anybody know of a program that would allow this tweak?
Quite some time since I used Arcsoft but didnt they have a resend feature (could be some of the later ed.)? Or am I wrong and it was a feature on 6.1? If it was on 6.1 you could still use it for just that by switching off treaded view.
I do have arcsoft MMS, but how would i go about using it to turn off threaded view SMS and keep the "try again" or resend button?

Raiisak`s En/Disable Treaded SMS
Thanks a ton for making that, but I have kaiser tweak and I am able to en/disable threaded SMS. Thanks tho.
Is there a cab that you could make me to add a popup window to my screen when a message is unable to send that simple let's me resend it instead of automatically move it to the drafts? This seems to happen alot seeing as I text alot. Thanks in advanced for anybody can help!

Reason I made the cab was to simply add on/off the treaded sms whitout making any change to the notification status for you by simply create this DWORD in youre reg:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:00000000

Arcsoft_MMS 5_0_31_81 w/ treaded ON had the function to ask if you wanted to resend sms/mms if failed. Try to install that and run my cab and see if the red text comes up comes if the sms fails to send. Chance are that this will solve much of youre problem, other than that I would recomend to try another radio if you have severe signal issues
Sorry for the stupid question but um when you say new radio... You mean....?
If you use custom rom they come whit variouse radio, not always will the given radio work smoothly in youre country and phone. I would read up on this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182 and also the OP of the used rom to see if there is any recomended radio for youre phone or country. If none found I would ask in that tread. GL
Is there any way to auto resend a failed message? either for a certain time or an X amount of resends?. My phone constantly goes in and out of service. I dont want to have to keep my phone in my hand waiting for service to kick in then resend.

Re-sending text msg's, OMG!!

WOW!! When I send a text msg to one of my contacts, and if for some reason that contact didn't get it, the process to re-send it is just mind boggling! Actually, it doesn't RE-SEND it, u gota FORWARD a copy of the text u originally sent to the contact! And the process for that is just.........frickin....crazy! There has got to be something Im not doing right or I'm unaware of the simple "re-send" button that I can't find in the options menu when long pressing the msg. Someone please school me??
Oh yeah, where is the menu buttons to select if I want the msg sent with normal priority, high priority, urgent priority, or whatever. Both of my non-smart phones that I had before this zio had those kind of options, I'm sure this smart-like phone should have the options too, right?

You might try using a different messaging app. I find Handcent works really well for me.

ANYTHING is worth trying, but why should anyone have to. Id think it'd be something that's standard on ANY phone, smart or not. Well, hear I go downloading ANOTHER app again (lowering my internal phone memory even more) just to get something that should come standard. Ill give it a shot, thanks! Gota love this f**kin Zio.

All I do when a message doesn't send is long press on that message, select "copy message text," long press in the text entry box, and select "paste." No need to forward.
There is no re-send option that I'm aware of, nor is there any option for message priority. I never understood what that was all about anyway
For the most part,,, ^^^ what Lukas_s said.. Long press and copy msg text, then paste and resend.
There is not any message priority for SMS and unfortunately there won't be, because of the way the SMS network topology is set up. Unless there is a global rework of the SMS system, or it gets completely phased out by MMS, I dont think we're going to see any changes to SMS.

All sms should be moved to mms, so we get rid of the 160 char splits. I cant figure out why they haven;t done anything about that yet.

YES!! Thanks a lot, it is a lot quicker copy text and pasting then send. One thing I noticed today was, if u open a msg thread and long press one that was sent out then select View Msg Details it'll show date time AND priority: normal. Which has me thinkin that there could be an option to set priority level. Any advice, anyone?
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
