Problems with SMS - anyone else face this issue?

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...

Problem Receiving SMS

Hi, I've been having a problem with my HTC Kaiser SMS service
It receives SMS normaly, but sometimes it just doesn't receive the messages. It looks like random... sometimes it receives de message normally, but sometimes it turns on just like it's going to receive soemething, but nothing comes. I've done a test with my operator site sending me messages and most of them are received, but some of the messages simply doesn't come.
My girlfriend told me that she gets the confirmation of my receiving all of the messages she send mt, but some of her messages are not received by me.
is there any solution
I use the original HTC ROM with windows mobile 6.1 (ROM ver: 3.29.707.0 WWE; radio: 1.65.16.25 ROM DATE 05/07/08)
can someone help me
I've tried to hard reset my phone and reinstall everything manually and sync my agenda and contacts from my computer database.

I have the exact same problem!! It doesnt happen very often, but happens once in a while. I am using Anryl's WM 6.5 21725 Final Release, Radio 1.71.09.01 eMO, and is a Swedish TyTn II. I am also using JGui's SMS Reports Eraser. Anybody got a solution for this???

I also have the same problem! Anyone with a solution?

intersting
I thought I was the only one to have this strange and inexplicable problems in my device... does anybody has a solution for it? thanks

Its really frustrating!! No one has a solution???? maybe flashing a new ROM would help???? but i don't want to flash unless i know it will work for sure, coz i got all my settings and softwares customized to my liking. I tried changing the radio, but it doesn't help.

Guess what people?!, It's been a week since I had to Hard Reset my TyTn II and apparently my problem is solved! I have received all sms and mms so far! Maybe you could try to HR and see what happens...

Okay, will try. Thanks Arrgntmnc

SMS is not a reliable service. That's fact.
Even on Symbian or some other dumb phone. You can get a 'false' delivery (some operators although not all, do that, once they sent out, their Service Center will give back the delivered, without waiting for actual handset delivery)

I guess I did it!
Hi, I tried to hard reset my kaiser... nothing
I installed the Phoenix III ROM... nothing
I installed the original HTC ROM... it worked!!!
I've been on my second week testing. I'm doing this. When the sms problem begin Icould see my cell phone ligts up as if it was going to receive something, but nothing happened. Then I turned off the auto turn off in battery settings and I always turn it of after using it... So, if someone try to send me a SMS and the phone light up, I will know. 'Till now I haven't spoted my screen on. I'll test it for 4 more weeks and if it works I will post to you

actually, jsut goto you SD card and there will be a folder called inboxXXXXXX... if you ahve that problem.. just delete that folder.. it fixes your problem.... Try to manually open the SMS messages.. does it jsutn ot load? then that is definatley your problem.. this problem effects most all WM devices...

SMS problem

my viva hangs up when i send 3 to 4 messages and i have to restart the phone in order to keep sending messages. also i am unable to recieve or make calls during this prblm. other functons are fine, only sms and phone dont work. in comm manager if i try to put it in flight mode, the gsm connection is not terminated.please help. thanks in advance

it would be helpful if you can add which rom version you are using...

neways...you could try a hard reset. but back your files in the phone memory first.

Unable to send SMS. Everything else is fine.

Yesterday, mid conversation my SGS decided it wouldn't send any of my sms messages. Receiving sms messages is no problem and calls work fine both ways; MMS Messages also send with no issue. Data connections are fine, I've been receiving data through both edge and 3G. The only issue is that i can not send sms messages no matter what the length.
I was running Darky's ROM v9.2 but as an attempt to fix it i reflashed (wipe) to Darky's ROM v9.3, it did not fix the issue. I've tried sending them from different locations, flicking airplane mode on and off.
I've tried using both the stock Android messaging app and Handcent SMS App.
Does anyone have any insight on what is causing this, it's rather annoying and searching has been fruitless, i can't find anyone else who has even had this issue.
Thanks in advance, Tom.
Edit: I fixed the issue, my SMCS number had vanished.
Many Thanks to IronSingh of samsunggalaxysforum.com For hasty help!

MMS come but MMS don't leave.

Symptoms: I can receive and send regular SMS just fine. Calls 100% , Quality is what it should be up here in the mountains. However MMS messages I can receive but I can't send them including group messages that come in as MMS.
Rrcently took the phone back bone stock. Full firmware flash of the latest out on the web site. It started working so I flashed Cyanide with stock kernel and it was working. Flashed my favorite kernel and then the issue happened again. So back to stock and it's only hit and miss if i can send.
Would this be a hardware issue? Software issue? Bad network in my area? When I get it working it will sometimes stop doing it until I reflash the stock kernel. I'm trying to get pointed in the right direction to figure out why
Then I can fix it.

This will be hard to figure out as many things can effect it. The flashing I think has less to do with it then the act of it rebooting. Forcing a reconnect to the network could be what is causing it to work for a while. I would run a logcat and see if it picks something up.
