Troubleshooting: Some SMS don't get through (German Network)

Hey everyone,
I face a SMS sending problem. I'm texting to Australia quite often and I'm (different to my t-mobile button above) with E-Plus. A long time me and my partner down under had no trouble sending/receiving text messages. But lately only half my texts get through.
We had a problem earlier this year when she was with Optus. All of a sudden my messages did not get through anymore. All of them. Then she changed to Vodafone and it seemed to work. But E-Plus (I'm actually with MedionMobile, just using E-Plus network) made their messages cheaper and now I face this problem!
It's really anoying. Now -
when I have such a problem - does it have anything to do with my Radio / Rom installed on the phone? Or is this just a network fault?
Would changing to Vodafone solve this problem since Vodafone Germany and Vodafone Australia are partner networks?
It's just that E-Plus is so much cheaper (1/3 of the price for a SMS!)
Please try to help me!

Is your operator billing you for the txts? If so, you can be sure they're transferred to your operators server correctly and your phone's alright. But you probably won't be able to get a deeper insight into what happens after that- if and where your txts are lost....
Changing networks MIGHT help, but don't count on it.
You might wanna try sending your txts using an internet-based service?! just to check... and, btw, that might be cheaper, too. I remember seeing a tool that allows you to send txts via internet-based services from your xperia using your data connection. i just can't seem to find it right now.

first: thanks for your help!
My operator is billing me for the text messages, yes. So they send it correctly. I even tried out to get a confirmation for sent items, you know? I always get the message that it has been delivered. But then she does not get the message...
I tried out to send messages from two of my class mates and from my mums phone as well as from my dads phone. Their messages all get through...
I think I know what you mean with internet based SMS sending. Innosend is such a service, huh?
But items sent throught that service do not get stored in my SMS store...But I will try it out, I guess. As well as I try a Vodafone SimCard.
I hope there is nothin wrong with my phone...

Out of interest, what phone does your partner have?

Oh, I think you got me there. Long time it was a Sony Ericsson...older one. But she got a new one two weeks ago or so. But I don't think it's her phone because the fault occured on both, her old and her new phone. I'll write it in here as soon as I know...

Ah ok cool. The reason I was asking: When I got my Xperia I soon realised that my gf was only getting around half the texts I was sending. It drove me crazy as nothing seemed to fix it - I got my phone replaced, she got hers replaced, we both got new SIMs. Just like you, the texts were showing up on bills, and O2 could see them going through their message centre, so they could not identify the problem.
Eventually I figured it out, my gf did not receive my messages when they were longer than a single message. Anything more and it simply did not show up on her phone (LG Renoir), but still seemed to send successfully and show up on my bill. I then realised that the same thing happened when sending long texts to my friend (also an LG, but a Viewty). They can both get long messages from other people, just not me, so I think there must be some sort of incompatibility between the Brands/softwares.
Probably of no help to you really, but maybe you send long messages too?

No, it's fine since I experience such a thing on my own now. Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna ask her what kind of phone she uses now. Today I removed the SIM Card from my phone and replaced it. The Xperia did a new setup on my network and afterwards my 2 sent messages came through. Maybe I just had to do that because I flashed a new Rom and later a new Radio without renewing my network options...
As you, I do not have a clue where the problem is...But also takin my mums T-Mobile Sim Card in my phone she got all messages. I believe it's the operator...I keep you guys updated when I have my Vodafone card or if it should work normally now...
Thanks for your help. Always appreciated!
edit:yes, I experienced that longer messages have less chance to get through. Sometimes they are messed up or just the first part (first 160 characters) get through...hmm

Text Msg issue

Do you guys have issues with sometimes not receiving a text?
I have an HD7 with Tmobile USA
and I've had ppl saying they text
me yet they never did
At first i thought it was just lies that
guys tell but i've gotten the same
story for certain friends.
Just wanted to know if it is isolated
or if someone else was having the
trouble i am

Check the number in messaging settings and make sure you haven't changed it, otherwise I can't think of any other reason, assuming you have not added message blocking or some other feature that limits usage

maybe a network issue in your area. I would talk to t-mobile about it and they can check it out.
I haven't had any problems with texts.

The odd thing is that I have had a vibrant, g2, and mytouch 4g with Tmobile in th same area and those never had an issue
tj
It seems like it only happens like 20% of the time but i feel bad for fussing at ppl for not texting back when it is my phone
and i've noticed this is on both HD7
But it is not a MAJOR problem...just a minor annoyance
lol and i refuse to call tmobile's customer service until next month. I finally can transfer to postpaid instead of being on flexpay aka hell. Trying to explain a problem to them is murder. The language barrier alone will make this whole situation worse...

Another issue that pops up
I decided to use the feature of sms confirmation to let me know when it is sent to the users i send the text or pic mail to(which is annoying) because if i send my usual 1,000-2000 msg daily i will get the same amount of texts from my phone telling me that it has sent the text to the recipient.
Anyway, a new issue pops up that when i send a text, it will say it can't be sent and it will resend later. Even if i have full service, it sends me the message and i literally can't text anyone
then after about 10-15 minutes, it will send it automatically with no issues then sporadically pop back up.
This is shocking because i really have had no issues with WP7 or my hd7 aside from this and now randomly that pink hue on the camera started appearing

the pink on camera seems to be fixed with the ..10u.. rom for a lot of people
i can't say anything on the sms delivery reports, but i know tmo on the east should have way better reception than west

missing texts
I have T-mobile as well. My HD2 would drop most inbound texts. I had to do a hard reset to get it to start working reliably again.
Haven't had the issue since I switched to the HD7.

It is working great now. Idk what was going on with my phone.

[Q] SMS sometimes sent to an unknown/wrong number?! Extremely strange..

Hi,
this never happened to me before on my Legend.
I'm using handcent sms, but don't know if it has something to do with that, with the OS (used handcent on my Legend too) or my carrier provider.
When I write loads of sms with a friend, it happened already 3 times that suddenly I got a reply from someone completely unknown (unknown number), informing me about that he/she (wrongly) received this sms from me that should have been sent to my friend. My friend then didn't get that sms, although it's correctly listed in the appropriate sms "thread" for my friend's contact and NOT in the new thread created for this unknown number.
Has anyone experienced this before?
I think it's even more strange since this number isn't in my contacts and it's completely unrelated (not just a few numbers swapped, but a completely different carrier).
Has anyone experienced something like that?
This happened to me 2 times on stock Froyo and yesterday on Gingerbread..
Thanks for any help
Max

That's due to a bug with Android itself.
This was fixed with version 2.3.3, so if you get your self a GB(2.3.3) rom, all will be good.

That's strange, I'm already on gingerbread.. still it happened yesterday or the day before.

Handcent is your culprit!
Got myself into a LOT of trouble with the right msg going to the wrong person... LOL
get yourself chomp which is better in this aspect
or use the default app..

My problem is the same with stock rom V20q. My provider wrote that my device sends back error message so they send the SMS again. Any solution? May Handcent cause this problem?

Problem with receiving MMS

Hi,
I am new here, sorry if this thread is somewhere but I cant find any information about my problem. I got my new smartphone HTC ONE. Everything working great but when my brother and wife sent me MMS with differently picture from another HTC smartphones (a specially HTC ONE X and HTC Desire C) I got only message - ,,Image attachment(s) deleted from the message to adapt to your device capabilities"
If I tried send MMS from Samsung I received all MMS without problems. Before I had HTC ONE X, HTC SENSATION and here all MMS was without problem. I changed phone and I have problems now.
Please help if you know how I can figure it out.
I am from Slovakia and my provider is ORANGE.
Big THANK YOU :angel:

My solution
Hello,
my solution is very simple. I had big problems with that problem and I check all websites and forum´s what I know it. Google doesnt help me and after couple of days I called to my operator - for his expert line (ORANGE SK) and explain him all my problems with mms. There was a man which told me that he will try it and he will call me back. After 3 or 4 hours he called me that ORANGE expert people find out where problem is and was there problem with some protocol inside the NET. I asked what now and he said that everything will be putted in and he will call me again. After one hour he called me and send me couple of mms from differently phones included HTC.
After that everything working on my HTC ONE without any problems.
Good luck

MMS recieve problem
I got It. After calls to ORANGE (my provider), they have done something to their NET settings (something with my phone-type support) and now it works fine. Now I can recieve MMS pictures bigger then 30 kb (max. 300 Kb).
The solution is - ITS THE CARRIER PROBLEM, not the PHONE.
My Alcatel one touch idol ultra works now fine. (to solve this, it took 3 months of studying the android, forums, carrier settings and many many calls to provider!!!)
