[Q] Reply with text - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Captivate and when I first got it with 2.1, when I would get a phone call I had the option to reply with a text message. There were some generic ones built in (cant answer, im in a movie.) etc. This is like the feature that Apple announced today with iOS6. I have flashed my phone about 60 times since I got it, and I dont know when or where I lost that functionality. I am now on CM9 and it isnt there. I thought it was maybe a Touchwiz thing, so I installed the ICS version, but that didnt do it. Does anyone know what I am talking about and if so, how can i get it back?

Running Legend 4.... Settings->Call Settings->All Calls->Reject Call with Message.
There are 5 defaults there that can all be changed.
I can't say if this is the case with CM9.
The option then shows up if you reject the call.

It was in the settings for the dailer. It wasnt coming up because the number i was testing with was unlisted. It is all good now.

Not receiving MMS with CM 4.0.4

I am unable to receive MMS since I started using CM 4.0.4 a few weeks ago. I can send it without a problem. My friend sent me 10 MMS, I only received 2. Is there any reason for this or is it just a problem with the ROM? Neither the stock Messaging app is getting it or ChompSMS. I have tried it with auto-retrieve both on and off.
Send yourself two mms messages

What are you saying?
Could be a network thing ... but to make sure send your self 2 mms and see if they come back .I think this resets something in your carrier's servers
just open your messaging app put your number in select a pic and send
Ive already tried that, I receive the message from myself. But anyone else, I dont receive or only receive every once in a while.
call up tmobile and have them check your settings on their end, don't tell them your running a custom rom ...
i would say just reflash since it was working and stopped, (off topic) my g1's accelerometer stopped working out of nowhere so i reflashed 4.0.4 and it worked like a charm. hope this does it for you
ill try reflashing then, I called up Tmobile, they just concluded it was my phone and wanted to send me a new one lol

Anyone else have alot of SMS send failures ?

Hey Peoples
Had the galaxy for a few weeks and loving it so far, seems fairly stable. Im running 2.2.
Only thing I've noticed on the phone is it has alot of SMS failures. Maybe 25-35% of sms's I send will result in a failure, then i resend and goes through. It happens when I have full reception, and never happened previously with any old phones so im assuming its the phone.
Ive been with Optus (AUS) for the last 10+ years and never had any issues before so yeah think there network is all good.
Ive checked my settings and im using the same serivce centre settings as before. In SMS/Settings I havnt got anything selected except "delete old messages" and "notifications"
Anyone notice anything similar ?
Thanks
+1
I often find this too. I'm on Orange in the UK, I originally put it down to poor signal but it does happen far too often for that to be the only cause. Never had anything like it on previous phones
somewhat good to hear its not just me then
Just out of curiosity, which SMS program are you using ? I just use the default one. I Might try another SMS app (unless your having the same issues with another app)
Ive used the samsung default messaging app, Android AOSP messaging app, and ChompSMS. They all are the same though when it comes to failed deliveries so I suspect its something to do with the modem? Maybe would be better to try out different modems to see if that makes any difference?

[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..

Text messages stuck?

I recently installed Android Revolution, and I use GO SMS to handle my text messages. Ever since installing the new ROM, I sometimes have a problem where text messages sent by others get "stuck", as in they only show up when I've sent a text myself.
An example is that I send a message, a friend replies 5 minutes later, but this doesn't show up on my end until I've sent a text.
What could be causing this? I don't think I had this issue when running stock.
Thanks.
I'm also having issues with SMS on revolution... Some of my texts aren't getting sent, and every once in awhile I'll have no activity and then awhile later 10 texts all with timestamps from an hour beforehand get delivered all at once.
I had a lot of issues with texts before this though, my friends on stock rom/stock phone and his texts rarely send.
I'm ENG s-off, radio s-off, gingerbread radio, correct APN's (I'm pretty sure). I'm almost positive this is a problem with the ****ty network and not the rom.
Also every once in awhile I have to reboot, it'll say my SIM card doesn't allow access to the network, or I'll be roaming 24/7... these two are new with Revolution. Definitely having reception issues.
Are you using the .22 radio?

Yes, I flashed 20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M as recommended before installing Android Revolution.
I have no other problems with the ROM, so I don't think mine is a network issue.
I'd try the .27 radio if I were you. I had several texts being delayed or received late, and even a couple of people say they'd tried to ring me but couldn't get through.
Flashed the .27 radio a few days ago and haven't had any of those issues so far.
I'll give that a try this afternoon and see how it goes. Thanks!
Any update as to how this worked? I noticed issues with delayed messages this morning.
I've read that it's a known issue with this model and there may be a fix coming in me July from htc.

I hope it's true.
I'm trying out Go SMS from the market. Messages have been fine all last night and today so fair. Pretty nifty app.

Flashing the .27 radio made things a little better, but messages still get stuck sometimes. It's really annoying.
messages getting stuck i think means sms not being able to be sent out. maybe your signal

My messages send fine, it's the delay of receiving messages that is the issue. I get full bars pretty much all the time.
Apparently Gingerbread is the cause of this, at least on my network. (Bell hasn't released an official 2.3 update yet)

Same, i've tried .12 .22 & .27.
The best was .12
But i still get that stupid problem of text messages coming through late.
Go SMS still working fine here. Been spot on for two days.
I've been using the 06.03.03 radio and though it's better, I still have problems with text messages that aren't received/sent quickly. This has been a problem with all the radios on Rogers for me.

Story of my life lol...I'm sick of the delyayed sms!
My wife is now having problems where calls don't always get through. Strangely we both have the same radio but it seems to work fine for me. Hope the next radio release is better
