Failed SMS - How to resend? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running cynogen 3.96 (but i've experienced this with all roms and stock).
In my house there is spotty coverage (4 bars to 0) and while txting/smsing sometimes i will have service, try to send the text and i will drop out of service, now i know this is do to my coverage, but how do i get my txt to auto-resend when i get a signal again. I'm always forced to cut/copy the message and resend, which is annoying. When the txt fails to send im left with a envelope with a (!).

If you long press on the on the message in question, a menu will come up and there is an option to either forward or edit. If you choose edit, it will put the message back into the edit box and you can simply resend it. Or if there is no edit option, you can just forward the message to the same person and it will end up in the same thread

If you tap the envelope it should fill in the text entry field with that text.. no need to copy/paste, just tap and resend.

usally when this happens for me the message is still sent even though it says failed
ive had this with all roms as well even stock lol
maybe its different for you but mine still send so maybe yous do to

How can i auto queue text msgs to resend when i have a signal?

can someone answer the above? At present, when u write a text message and are with no signal it simply puts the text message in ur draft folder which i find useless. I know nokia, has a 'resend' option or something. Anyone know of anything for the kaiser?
That would be a nice feature, i've come stuck a couple times like that (on a flight and out of coverage) and had to save them as drafts then click on send later when back in service.
I send a lot of texts to large groups and also find they stick in the outbox sometimes never moving, if i try and click them they send repeatedly sometimes people get 5 or 6 messages. Both these issues were a problem for previous versions you would have thought they had sorted it by now.
You could try using the 02 SMS Plus application...it lets you set a schedule as well as lets u send group sms's. It comes bundled with all 02 phones and should work on Wm5 and Wm6. Try searching the forum for a Cab file of the application

Send SMS when there is service

Is there a way to make the phone wait until there is service to try to send an SMS? Its annoying, since it is always getting and dropping the connection when I am in my basement, and instead of waiting until it catches a signal, it just says that the messages failed and puts it in my drafts folder!
I have WM6.1 and this is really annoying because every time I tell it to try again and it fails, it adds another line to my history saying that it failed with a link to click again. I have to keep clicking try again until it sends the message, and then I have to go to my drafts folder and delete all the drafts.
no solutions for ya besides keep all messages in drafts then wait for signal then send them all at once

SMS delivery notification

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 ;-)

MMS Notification / Confirmation

I have no problem sending or receiving MMS, but the phone doesn't send a confirmation (not sure on correct terminology) to the sender, and I also get a text saying you have received a picture message, and a URL to click and log in to view the picture.
Now this isnt really a problem but sometimes it sends the picture multiple times as well as the link.
Is there a setting maybe in the registry to sort this out or is it a network problem
I'm on TMobile uk and have a MDA Compact 4 with NRG rom.
TIA
Just go to the place where you are about to write a text message. Go to the bottom button and there should be a option button and from here you select the settings button and there you should be able to check and/or uncheck which things like confirmation...
Its when i'm receiving them, i get the picture as an mms, and as a text link, usually you get one or the other or so I thought.

"Protected file. Cannot send." on sms menu

Hi, so I tried to send an MMS once and it was sent, but the person did not receive it (i don't know why. crappy phone, lack of settings). Now every time I would try to text someone, that picture would pop up and I would have to remove it.
Afterwards I just deleted the picture from my phone and I started getting "Protected file, cannot send." instead of the image. I put the photo back with the same name in the same place and I still get this error.
Does anyone know what I can do to stop this? It's annoying, I always have to wait a few seconds for the message to go away so that I may use my keyboard.
Thanks.
Really weird, something unexplainable.
