[Q] Why do my SMS messages get stuck?

Whenever I send an SMS it is as if I can only send 1 per day. Let me explain, I can send an SMS fine but when I get a reply back then my response to it just sits in the outbox.
I exit the SMS program and then I cannot open it again (the option does not respond, as if it has hung, system works otherwise though) so I have to power off the phone, remove battery, remove SIM and then power it on with no SIM. I can then access the SMS program.
If I then delete the SMS from the Outbox and Deleted Items and Sent Items then sometimes (and only sometimes) the notification that the SMS has been sent will magically pop up. If that does not work then I power on the phone with a SIM and sometimes opening and closing the SMS program magically sends it, sometimes sending an SMS to myself fixes it and other times it just does not work at all and is very infuriating.
I am using the stock ROM and WM 6.1 with no additional programs installed.
What can I do to fix this and be able to send SMS messages normally? I even took my SIM out and put it in my old SE phone and I can SMS without any problems, only on the X1
Thanks.

That sounds strange indeed. Has it always been this way or did this error appear lately? If it appeared just lately I would try a hard reset. But if the problem has always been there I would try another sim card (demand a replacement from your service provider). How old ist your sim card? Old sim cards can cause several strange problems when used in current phones. It's easily possible that the card works with your old phone but causes troubles in combination with your X1.

The funny thing is that I took it to the Sony shop (I live in Thailand) and they tried a different SIM from a different network and it worked without any problems. They then put my SIM back in and it worked also.
My question is why does my SIM card not work well with the X1? I have always had this SMS problem since I got the phone (used).
Thanks for replying.

Something like that was happened to me too when I'm still using the stock ROM. Some people said that it is the problem with threaded view in WM6.1. But it ould be because of too many messages in my inbox or outbox. Since I'd like archive my messages, I backed up the message to new ROM and this problem never ever happpened again.

I recommend the following steps to narrow down the reason for this problem.
1. Perform a hard reset (or even reflash the stock rom)
2. Try using the phone on factory defaults (do not restore anything from a backup) for several days
3. If you still experience the problems try deactivating the threaded view for sms
4. Still not solved > order a new sim card
5. Received a new sim to no avail > might be a hardware defect
A few words concerning sim cards. Believe me, they can cause strange problems. There are people that used to have bad signal reception. After they ordered a new sim the problems were gone. Or cases where people could not get a working data connection > new sim solved it.
By the way, you told it in your post too:
"The funny thing is that I took it to the Sony shop (I live in Thailand) and they tried a different SIM from a different network and it worked without any problems. They then put my SIM back in and it worked also."
It seems that your sim card blocks the sms sending process from time to time. So to keep this post short, no matter to what result the above mentioned steps lead I would go for a new sim anyway.

I do indeed use threaded conversations. Stupid question, but how do I turn threaded conversation mode off? This is the first thing I want to try.
Thanks.

I have never tried this before. To look for how to do all of them. Googlefirst.
use registry editor, add
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
binaryvalue set to 1.

Hmmmm, I was hoping it would be easier than that.
Thanks anyway.

To disable threaded view use SK Tools, Advanced Config or Xperia Tweak. The later two are freeware and downloadable here at XDA.

[Q] Unable to Send SMS suddenly

Hi Peeps,
For some strange reason my SGS has decided to stop sending sms. After hitting send the messages just get stuck on "sending"
I have checked the message centre number and the mms setting just in case. I have tried the sim in an old nokia and it texts just fine.
It was having intermittent issues with sms around a week ago, where it wouldnt send a message, so i would send the same one again and then both would send simultaneously. However now its not sending at all.
I am running Froyo.xwjp6 with kernel 2.6.32.9.
I have also tried instaling Handcent SMS but i just get the error "message not sent"
Thoughts on a postcard?

Same here, although trying handcent has allowed me to send, but strangely, will intermittently fail, im sure its a froyo bug.

I managed to fix it. Couldn't be bothered with trying to reflash the modem or even the os, so tried the Privacy-return to factory settings option just out of curiosity. Can't figure out what it did exactly but when it rebooted i had not lost any settings or applications, and all my home screen app shortcuts were still there. The only discernable difference was the lack of gadgets on the home screen, which I had to reinstall.
The important thing however is that messaging worked again. God knows why.
One susipicion I have is that this is due to my usage of Titanium Backup. I installed it when i was running Eclair, and each time i upgrade the OS i use it to restore my old system data and apps. Perhaps some change between Eclair and Froyo's messaging settings is being overwritten by and older version by Titanium. I suspect this as following the above factory restore I tried a Titanium restore and instantly it broke my messaging again. So I did the factory again and got them back. There wasn't really any need to use Titanium as I said before I didn't seem to lose any setting or apps, but did it anyway out due to that old cat's friend curiosity
Give it a go if u dare and see what happens
Let me know how u get on...

Ok so im still having the same problem.is there really noone out there with an idea?

[Q] SMS Issue - Not Recieving Text Messages

Hey all. I am on FroyoMOD 2.7 and yesterday my phone stopped receiving SMS messages. I can send them fine, as my friends all tell me they can get my texts, but I receive no replies.
Now, of course I considered that I may just not be popular , but after I attempted to send SMS to myself, I confirmed that I do not receive them. I use Handcent SMS as my texting app. The send reports generated by my carrier indicate that the status of the message being received is pending.
Now, I wiped caches, reapplied FroyoMOD 2.7, reapplied Sileshn's Honeycomb theme, reapplied Telus baseband from AOR 3.3, and again wiped caches. Still stuck without receiving SMS. MMS works fine, as I can send picture messages to myself.
Any suggestions/ideas? I really, really need to you know, text! Being 16 has its drawbacks . Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem but the other way around! I can receive them but I can't send them, and it started while using froyo mod too (I'm not blaming froyo mod for this, as in the problem started a few days after using it) I was using go sms to manage my sms's and suddenly it started giving me the ol'message not sent notification, also my Milestone started to refuse to connect to the computer via usb, so I used those two problems as an excuse to switch to oh no! cm7 mod and those two problems were still there! the strangest thing is that my milestone charges just fine and I'm even able to connect to the PC via USB thru Androiani open recovery's option "force usb connection" or something like that so it seems not to be hardware related, weird! I have tried wiping EVERYTHING several times and still the same issue! I even went as far as to reflash got 2.2.1 again since it is the base rom over which others mods are applied it might have gotten corrupted or something, and then I reapplied Oh No cm7 mod, but no luck... simply weird. >(

After a quick call to TELUS support, it was determined that it is some kind of "known issue" within Milestones specifically. The troubleshooter told me to wait a few days while the error log was sent to network engineers. At this I began to panic, and worried about certain... software details being given to people of importance. Basically I wanted to keep my warranty . So I told the Rep I was running custom software and he laughed and told me just to wipe from AOR not from standard recovery. I had tried data wiping from stock recovery with no luck, but it worked with AOR. No idea why. I didn't think it would be any different. But there you go. That's the technology world I suppose. Hope that helps!

when you say "it worked" you mean that you wiped thru aor and the messaging issue got fixed, or that you got to do a full wipe thru AOR in order to keep your warranty?

Wiping data through AOR resolved my issue. It seems the rep I talked to was very sympathetic to modding. He seemed very knowledgeable anyways.

[Q] Serendipity .... only one problem.....

Ive been running serendipity 6.4 for a few days now and love it.
Everything works great except when someone tries to call me I get a weird audio tone and then the person calling me gets forced to voicemail after one ring.
And on my end I never even see the call coming through, am thinking of flashing cognition if I cant get this resolved....
Any ideas?

Bad flash or you restored apps and system data. Never heard of that on 6.4.

Yeah, I've been having a similar problem. When somebody calls me, my phone rings once or twice, then the signal inexplicably disappears. The caller gets some att message that the network is down, but I never had this problem before.

yeah it's a common occurrence if you restored system data

so when i did my titanium backup i should of just restored user apps but nothing else??
So is there any way to fix other than reflashing?

Reflash. Sorry.

hmmm... I followed a vid on flashin cognition to a tee.
It was a 3 part video...cant find the link right now,
but several ppl said to follow it exactlly for flashing cog or serendipity, and in the vid im sure the guy said to restore all user apps and data which is what i did...
so next time just do missing apps and data?
I think i might just reflash and not restore anything backed up, if i dont restore backup files whats the worse that could happen? just have to setup apn,widgets,contacts and apps n crap again? or is it a step i must do?
just want to be able to receive calls again and not screw it up the second time, other than the one ring then dropped calls everything works great

Can I restore my contacts? I'd hate to have to find all those phone numbers and type them in again.

Sync to google, then re-sync when you flash.

i reflashed serendipity and this time only used titanium backup for missing apps and data and my calls are now working fine.....
My contacts are gone tho, and i dont have them setup in google to sync with, is there a contacts file in titanium that i could restore???
thanks

Ive never once had a problem with restoring contacts, just go into titanium, find contacts in the list and hit restore
should be called [CONTACTS/CALL STORAGE], just restore that part and all should be fine

Thanks, I synced my contacts from Google, and everything was fine. Now, for some reason, contacts crashes whenever I try to open it, and I get "android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly".

Can't recieve texts - EXTENSIVE

I would link you to several other posts, however I'm too new to send links! but I've googled and searched quite a bit and all the things I've tried have failed.
I'm rooted with FROYO.... and the other day I stopped recieving texts after recieving a "Low Memory" error.
I send texts just fine, I've had this issue before and usually a flash to a nandroid backup and an update to the PRL and PROFILE fixes it.... however not this time. I've been working on this for 2 days now....
Here's what I've tried
1. Reflash back to earlier ROM.
2. Update PRL, and Update PROFILE --- (done this everytime I Flash/Restore)
3. Reflashed back to current ROM.
4. restored countless nandroid backups
5. Factory reset with different roms
6. FINALLY Chatted with sprint, he made me do a couple diagnostics that he said would "work"
7. He did advanced troubleshooting and made me turn off phone for an hour
Still nothing works.
I noticed by googling that quite a few people suggested deleting telephony.db, however I do not have a telephony.db file... even when I reflash and restore backups there is no telephony.db file.
Anybody else have ideas on what I can do?

With Titanium Backup, it would be Dialer storage, it's listed with sms and mms, you could try that.
Go into your parental controls at sprint.com and make sure sms is turned on, it somehow got turned off on my sons phone once.

if you have your msl code u could restore a sense rom and dial ##3282# go to data setting and change your accolic to 1 that will give you a higher priority for calls and texts just dont change it to 0 because thats reserved for emergency government bans and you might get some notices from the fcc lol.
youll be fine if u leave it on 1though

And for some reason I can't get the texting link on the sprint.com parental controls to open.... I've tried 3 different browser, I wonder if the link is down

just call sprint and ask tell them u want to do a data restore and theyll give it to u

Don't restore any system stuff or apps via titanium backup, this is probably what borked it in the first place.

Yeah I'm not entirely sure what screwed it up, however I do know that on most of the ROMS I installed and Nandroid backups, that the /data/data folder on my phone did not exist.
I tried using linux commands to find the "telephony.db" file, and doing this I discoved the /data/data folder was missing. And the "random backup" I restored either recreated it or had it still in memory. And now when I navigate to the /data/data folder on my phone it's FULL of stuff. So I'm sure however that got deleted, that it was the issue.
Thank yall so much for your help

Glad you got it sorted out.
