Hi all...
I was wondering if people more experienced could help me with a strange problem.
I can't seem to send or receive sms'es. When I send an sms, nothing happens, and the message just sits there in the "Outbox".
When I send an sms to myself (from another phone), the phone WAKES UP, but no message shows up. So obviously the phone is receiving the message but it's not showing up? Maybe it's being blocked somewhere?
I've checked my settings, sms is set to send via GSM and the service center number is correct.
Also to confirm - I've tried hard-reset and the phone received sms'es fine.
But as soon as I reload my backup, it no longer receives/shows the sms'es being received. So something is block the sms from showing up. What program/setting would it be?
After installing slick, palringo, taptapsms, incoming sms not stored
I noticed the day after installing IM client, named slick, palringo and opening tapsms, i cant see my incoming sms after it comes..
it shows the notification 1 message unread, after i open it, i just see the history of sms of the same sender got bold, but only with old message, theres no new sms.. ( cant find the new received sms )
I've reset the phone, unplug the battery, its still the same..
anyone have a clue ?
I used WM 6.1 on my XDA IIs
Thanks.
Hello!
My problem is I cannot send any SMS message (it actually is moved to the sent folder, but the other phone does not receive it), as well as I cannot receive any SMS message (the phone lights-up when I sent a SMS to it but nothing more happens), EDIT: though on the sender's phone I get a delivered report.
Before you ask - no, the text messaging service number in phone options is not correct. The field is empty and whatever I do write there does not get saved. I can modify the voice mail number, area code and all and save it, but the text messaging service field keeps being empty (it is set correctly when trying on my other phone).
Calls do work.
As I believe the only problem is the number not present, is there any other way I could store the text messaging service number in the phone? Like registry setting or similar... Or any other solution welcomed.
Thanks!
By the way, I'm running the WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.20282.19597 for Tornado with Neo Style English Version V1 by Karas, my operator is O2.
The radio version is 4.1.13.28_02.61.01, RIL version 2.002.
i had the same problem with the rose rom... it only helped to hard reset the device...
has somebody a fix for that? or what is the problem?
hard reset does not work for me, but it seems it is a problem in the rom, which cannot be workarounded...
Try another rom!!
I have tried many cooked roms with my i780, almost all of them WM 6.5.
I realized today that if I have more than one number registered inside an outlook contact (I am used to register alternative mobile phone numbers in the "pager" field), when I receive an sms from a contact with more than one phone number, there is absolutely no way to find out which number was used to text you. Also, when you reply, you don't know the phone number you are texting, you just know that its the same that was used from your contact to text you in the first place.
I realized that today when I was chatting a friend of mine believing that I use my "free of charge" sms messages (which I do when I text his main number) and ended up charging my balance. He told me he was using his alternate number (that I have registered as pager) and when I tried to somehow confirm it, i see there is no way. All you get is the name of your contact. No way to access extra info either for received or sent messages.
Am I missing something? Has anyone else realized that and/or has a problem with it?
Hi, I am in The Netherlands with a simple (???) Alcatel Pixi 4 5 (5" screen) which is OK, but just recently I have started getting message that the bottom of the screen if I try to make a text or open an incoming text message, it says "Permission denied - you can change this in Apps" I am using a Dut T Mobile prepay sim and it has been checked by both T mobile shops and that is fine (i can make and receive phone calls on the Pixi phone) but I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING relating to this problem, I am at the end of my wits thinking how I can get the SMS working again, the SMS service number is correct for the Tmobile SMS text settings. It is a complete mystery why this banner keeps appearing, I cannot open ANY of the texts I have received. T mobile says the problem lies with the phone and nothing to do with their Sim card. Can anyone help?? as the banner says "can be altered in Apps" but doesnt tell you what app or how to set it to get the SMS messages working again. HELP!! total LAPTOPDUNCE

Go to system settings>apps>messaging app, select it, next, select its permissions, set its permissions to access everything it needs to work.

thanks for that!! NC BUT!!!
Hi NC, thanks for that but where are the "system settings" on this phone, is it the settings on the middle lower button, where "settings " looks like a big cog? because when I go into the Apps from there I get a heading "all apps, and it gives me messaging then when I click on that I get the "permissions" (contacts, phone and SMS) so I click on that and I get "messaging" as the main heading and then in a column, cotnacts, Phone, SMS and storage, I have allowed the permissions on the "contacts, phone and SMS" but leave the storage one not permission granted, NOW!! If I open the three little dots in the topr right hand corner next to App Permissions it brings up all permissions and then I get a long long list of all the difeerent persmission, like "read your contacts" modify your contackts, Ph,> Driectly call phone number, read phone status and identify, SMS (sub heading) receive text messages (SMS)m, Receive Text messages (MMS), Send SMS messages, Read your Text messsages (SMS), Receive text messages (WAP) - when I touch all of these headings a window comes up saying "allows the app to receive and process SMS messages, This means the app could monitor or delete messages sent to your device without showing them to you. - and then OK at the bottom right, so I have just clicked OK on all of these headings, but after all this I am STILL getting the banner coming up with Permissions Denied - you can change them in Settings > apps. So this has become an absolute nightmare!! I just dont know what to do!!
thanks laptopdunce

Try settings>apps>(whatever keyboard app you have or are using), check it's permissions.
Go to settings>languages and input, make sure you have the correct keyboard selected and and configured how you want.
Make sure you aren't having an issue with "overlays", you can disable overlays if you need to. I'm not sure how to do that on your device model number/ROM/firmware.

Hi, andoroid keyboard
Hi, I have looked at the keyboard I am using and it is the Ancdroid keyboard, I went into apps and looked at the app permissions, it says Anroid keyboard (AOSP) and the subheadings "contacts" and "storage" were unchecked for permissions so I have enabled them, AGAIN I am still getting the banner permissions denied, this is a real pain, I feel like throwing this phone away! I dont understand what overlays are, the problem wtih these fu77ing things are that they SO DAMNED COMPLICATED you have to be a rocket scientist to understand them!! I HATE THESE things!! the phone part says that is it running firmware 6.0-01005 android and its a model 5010D running android 6 it says its a kernel version 3.18.19+ and is build number 01005, all this is like chinese to me!!
I do have another of these pixi phones in the UK, if I switch the sim card to that one do you think it will work? I have the Alcatatel U5 for my UK phone and thats just perfect, it lasts for ages on the battery and it switches from EE in England (prepay) to T mobile automatically when I have it with me in Nederland (travelling alot between The Nethelands and England) thanks laptopdunce
overlays
I have got a feeling it could be this file manager or overlays that is causing this problem, as there is a banner that comes up at the top of the phone when I turn it on, and alittle octopus that comes down from the top of the screen (that I have no idea what it is for) the Clean banner starts when I turn the phone on and has clean, boost, wifi, app manager and updat on it and folders underneath with folders, clean, boost, flashpight, screenshot and camera in blue underneath, I dont know how this thing started it didnt used to be there, this is what I DESPISE about these bloody things, they just appear for no reason!! Do you think doing a factory reset will stop it?? I only have some photos that I can back up on this phone, no special docs or anything like like, there isnt even an SD card in the phone. Oh, its such a damned pain, thanks laptopdunce

Yeah, it sounds like something you have installed somewhere. Backup what you want to keep and factory reset. If it is something that you installed, that will get rid of it.

OK will try that tomorrow, I have had the Dutch T mobile forum on to me to tell me to try the simcard in another phone to see if it is the simcard that is damaged, I dont have another phone here with me, and I cant see how the Sim card can be damaged as I can make calls through it and T mobile tell me that they can see my credit and details on the SIM card, I will try the factory reset tomorrow and get back to you, I cant imagine how I could have downloaded something, as I looked on youtube for these "remove Overlay" vids but when I do that I dont get the window coming up in google play store permissions saying "you have an overlay running" but there are things showing that were not there when I first got the phone only last month. Its only a phone to stay in contact with people I have never used it on wifi except when connected to my laptop router at home. Will let you know what happens tomorrow, thanks laptopdunce
Just one extra thing, should I take out the SIM card from the Alcatel phone before doing the factory reset? thanks laptopdunce
