[Q] SMS problem - please help! - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Most of the time when I receive an SMS, the app records the senders no. without the 0, eg. 16.123.4567 instead of 016.123.4567
The problem then is if I try to reply to that SMS, it fails because my telco SMS server doesn't recognise 16.123.4567
To reply, I would have to start a new SMS and key in the full no. with the 0 - a real pain!
Anyone encounter this problem?
Any solution?

Make a contact with both numbers merged into one contact. That might help, maybe. So, Steve: 0161234567 and 161234567. Hope that works, best of luck.

TyTN II => some Questions / Problems

Hi @all
Yesterday I bought the TyTN II. I'm very pleased about it, but I have now some Questions.
-When I receive SMS, is it possible to see somewhere when it has been sent?
-When I get the delivery report of a sent SMS, I only see the number of the recipent and not the name which is stored in the phone. Furthermore would it be possible to determine, when the SMS has been delivered?
-In the Today-Screen is only one calendar entry shown at once unfortunately. Is there a possibility to show more than one entry within the HTC Home Screen?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best regards

1. To view when it has been sent, just open the message and its at the top. By default, the message is slightly scrolled down but if you scroll up, you will see the To: and Sent Date.
2. The name on delivery reports is a known "issue" or annoyance. Previously, I did use a program that was written by someone here but for the life of me, cannot remember what it was called. This worked perfectly with the number being matched with contacts list.
3. Calendar, not sure at the moment... will find out if I can/have time
Heres the delivery thing, not tried it on the Kaiser yet but might do later on

Thank you very much for your replies. It's my fault I didn't scroll up in the SMS, now I see the sent-date Thank you for the hint
I could solve the problem regarding the calendar entries display on the today screen. I installed the very good tool Calender+
http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10
and now you can choose how many entries / how many days should be displayed.
Thank you for the link for the SMS Delivery Fix Tool. I downloaded and installed it, but seems that it doesn't function... I sent a E-Mail to the developer of the tool.
Best regards

h3mp says it works! Did you install it differently? What error are you getting?
Hi @all
Thank you for your very helpful replies. In the meanwhile the SMS Delivery Fix thing is now fully functional. The only thing I miss is the display of the time when the SMS arrived.
The Calendar+ app works really fine.
Another strange problem occured in connection with the TomTom. After installing and downloading and installing the included map everything works fine. But then I connect the TyTN II to the PC and the TomTom Home application. The app was searching for updates for the installed TomTom Navigator. It brings up the message that a update is available, it was the "phone database - connect2internet" update. And now that's the strange and very annoying part: After installing the update, the phone doesn't play ANY kind of ringtone on an incoming call and the ringtones are very low.
Neither removing the TomTom app nor doing a soft reset solved the problem. After a masterreset everything was fine again. I installed then all apps needed again and did a backup with Sprite Backup. After this I installed the TomTom Navigator again with the update... same problem! No ringtones on incoming calls. I did then a restore and all was ok again.
Very strange right? Do have any informations/advices about that problem?
Thank you again very much in advance

When you send an sms and recieve a delivery notification the message says
Message successfuly sent to +9715081233450 instead of message successfully sent to Ahmad AlDhaheri.
The above link fixes it so it says the name (in first last or vice versa), number and even extension (m for mobile, o for office and so on).
Oh I just saw your full post above, apparently you do know what it does. Well now anyone curious also knows.
Bump for a great peice of software.

SMS Inbox shows Contact Numbers instead of Names

Hey all,
I've had my Kaiser a while now, and I love it to pieces. However...
When I open my SMS/MMS inbox, I see all my texts, but instead of showing the Name of the person who sent me a message, it shows there number (i.e +447870111111). This happens if I haven't pre-saved the contact to my phone (Even though the contacts were saved on my simcard). What's more, I thought copying all the contacts from my SIM to my phone would work, but no look. And now, I have 2 sets of all numbers! (one on SIM and one on Phone).
So My questions are:
Is there a way to have my SMS inbox show the contacts name, rather than number?
Is there a way to tell the Kaiser to hide my Sim Contacts, and just display my phone contacts.
I've searched and searched for these issues, but cannot find anything. I'm fairly technical so am usually good with these type of things. But any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Scott
for the second question, use kaiser-tweak ...
there's a option under [contacts] where you can disable sim-contacts.
the other question i can't help, sry
bye andré
OK Cheers Edi, Anybody for question number one? Surely this issue affects others?
Just to confirm I'm not a jinx, can somebody else who experiences this issu please post?
bump.......
When you store a contact after receiving an SMS, the SMS database is not updated with the contact info and so the Inbox will show with the number alone! But after storing it once, the next SMS will be named with the Contact. This is how it happens in Windows Mobile or the way it handles the messages. The updating is not done in all SMS after a contact is stored as it would slow down the device.
Regards,
Carty..
Thanks for that Carty, now i know I'm not going insane!
It's a shame it has to be that way though... Standard mobile phones usually update themselves when you've saved the number as a contact. Ah well, I still have the best phone ever!
Cheers
Experiencing The Same Problem
Try to include the country code and for sure you'll have the name appear. Problem will be, when that person is calling from the same country... Country code will be omited. So you wouldn't see the name of the person who's calling... and vise versa
Did you find any solution?
Thanks,
Angelo

Wow this thread's a blast from the past
TBH I've not noticed the problem again, which could mean one of two things:
1) The problem has now gone after Flashing a WM6.1 ROM, or
2) I haven't had any "New" people send me a text.
Sorry I can't be of more help...
Hi,
I haven't had an issue with numbers showing on an SMS instead of names (as I store my numbers as +447976123456, but I did have a REALLY annoying issue with SMS delivery reports having the number instead of the name.
This would have been fine if I sent one text every now and then , but as a heavy texter it drove me nuts - never knowing whos message had been delivered.
Just in case anyone else is having trouble with this - try the attached file - it lets you change the format of the report you get when your SMS is delivered!

SMS : delete/show number

Hi,
I have few problems with the gestion of SMS on my diamond. Maybe there is some registry trick to fix them ?
- if I delete a SMS from the SMS/MMS box it goes to the deleted sms folder which is normal and cool. If I delete a SMS from TF3D it is permanently deleted (doesn't go in the deleted folder). Is there an option to not have it permanently deleted ?
- if I have a contact with many mobile number (from different coutry in my case) it only show the contact name when I get a sms. I need to know the phone number used to write to me. Is it possible ?
Thanks,

I've the same problem, let me know if you found a solution
*bump*
Can't believe nobody found a fix for that
up
upupupupup
Can I add something to this?
I don't use TF though. My sms is shown in threaded view.
Now I would like to see when and what time the sms was received or send. I can only see what time a message was send/received when it was s/r on the same day. When that day is over you can only see on what day the sms was s/r.
Is there a way to view both day and time a sms is s/r?

[Q] Show date AND time for old SMS

Hi,
using Windows Mobile 6.1, SMS list shows the time for SMS reveived today but only date for older SMS.
1- Is there any way to SHOW the time for older SMS?
2- If there's no way to show it, is there at least a way to KNOW this time?!
It seems an incredible lack to miss an option to show SMS details including timestamp and also the EXACT used number (because some contacts may have many numbers and the SMS thread only shows the contact name!)
Pleas Help!
Thanks in advance.
BTW: I found at least three threads about this issue in xda-developers forums but none of them gives a solution!
Try copying the sms in question to sim...
When viewing your SMS, on top of the screen you have the name of the contact, just go up to see the date and time.
No clue for exact number instead of the contact's name.

Unable to reply SMS-es through S-voice

Hi, I got an error from my gear's S-voice today when trying to reply an SMS.
The S-voice was unable to reply a message, it will reply "i'm unable to send the message", and on the phone, it will show "failed to send".
However, when sending a new SMS (i.e. not replying through the notification), it was able to work.
Has anyone encountered this problem?

I get this also. If you check the SMS message it will most likely have an incorrect country code. Mine should be +44 however it shows as 44 and I get a network failure.

I checked and the country code is wrong too. Did not have the "+" symbol. Guess that's a bug then...
same here, works with new sms, does not work with answering to sms
Hi,
I Have the same trouble. Any solution??
Gear with Null 12.
Stéph.
Check the format of the number in your contacts. I posted about this week's ago: numbers with parentheses don't work.
Edit: someone replied that + doesn't work either. Bummer.

I have exactly the same problem, I live in Germany and when I reply through:
- pre-made SMS: OK (it is sent to 00 49 1xxxxxxxx)
- through S VOICE: *does not work* "Unable to send SMS" (it is sent to 49 1 0000 xxxxxxxx --> WRONG Number)
I do not understand how a big company as Samsung fails to make that work...
PS: do you receive WhatsApp or Viber notifications on your Galaxy??? I get none from Whatsapp and Viber...
Doesn't know also why Samsung doesn't do anything??
Sorry but i don't use WhatsApp or Viber.
Stéph.
same here (switzerland)
this is what it look like, if i try to answer a message (i'm not even able to dictate text).
Create new one works flawlessly.
i alreay wrote to samsung support, but i dont expect that they will take this seriously and inform their devs..
