On a previous phone I owned, the message delivery notification was just a little icon that appeared in the sent items list. On my N95 notifications were saved in a seperate folder without popping up on screen or ringing/buzzing.
On the raphael, delivery notifications are just normal text messages, which isn't the most practical solution. Is there software for WM that can change this behaviour? Turning it into an icon view would probably be difficult technically, but not displaying a bubble when the notification arrives and silently moving it to a seperate folder would also be a nice solution.
So, is there any way to enable this on the Raphael?
Anyone?...
I tried the program SMS reports eraser, but that doesn't do the job either :/
Is there software that just intercepts the report, marks it as read and places it in a seperate folder?
You should try MagiCall.

Thanks for the tip. I installed it, and made a rule saying that all SMS messages containing the word 'delivered' should be marked as read and moved to a seperate folder. I then saved, performed a softreset, and sent a SMS to a friend.
Unfortunately, this one doesn't work either Could it be that the TF3D interface is overruling the Messaging app, and with it blocking programs that try to tie into the messaging part?
I also find the way these are handled annoying compared to my old N95. The notifications don't even have the person's name, just the number which makes it even worse!
I tried SMS reports eraser and it stopped me from being able to send messages and when people sent them to me I never got them even though the other person got a delivery report!
A suitable program or idea for these would be great. This is my first windows mobile phone and that's probably my biggest issue with it, apart from that it's great.
Ignore this!
Start>Settiings>Sounds & Notifications Select Notification tab. Go to New Text Message. From there, you can select Display Notification on Screen. That keeps the popup to nothing more than the envelope in the top bar once you deselect it.
Hope that's what you are looking for.

Delivery reports have no phone number but with a sender name, such as 'System Administrator'. To filter them, just use MagiCall to filter that sender name. Example:
Rule type: SMS
Filter type: Sender name
Name list: System Administrator
Action1: Move to folder
To: spec_folder
Leave all other settings default values. It should work.
Solution
Well, i seem to have the same problem, but i have found using Advance Config software to actually solve this problem. I am not sure if that is what u guys are looking for but after using the Advance Config, i will get a msg saying "msg sent" whenever i send an sms, but not get any report. So i am assuming when it says "MSG sent" it is already a delivary report which i got from my previous WM from from other PDA.
So here is how u do it. First install Advance Config, then go into settings, under messaging tab, change "sms sent notification" from disabled to enabled.
And restart your phone. Once done, everytime u send an sms, u will recieve a buble box saying " msg sent" thats all. No rubish in your inbox.
Let me know if this help. Thanks!
Is there any way to see the persons name in the notification instead of the number? This has been annoying me since I got my phone

While this works, this isn't exactly what the previous posters wanted. They wanted the delivery reports and not the sent reports.
Symbian S60 intercepted these delivery report messages and then displayed them as "popup dialogs" to users before storing them into a separate folders. This is also one of my gripes about WM6. But I can live without delivery reports.

Install the attached cab file and it will solve your problem......It worked perfectly on my TP
oK, thanks, I´ll try it tomorrow
I'm having the same problem, I was post a new thread but I searched and found this.
I like delivery notifications, but the fact that it comes as a normal SMS instead of a popup notification like on other phones is really annoying.
I'm not getting any notifications (sent or delivered) and I want to get at least 1. I live in an area where I have pretty spotty service and it's annoying to find out an hour later that my text never actually sent. Is there any way I can turn it on?
I checked the htc manual and it says I should be able to enable a delivery report before sending the message or in message options. However, my message options are light grey so I can't click on them. It's been like this since I took the phone out of the box.
Thanks so much.

I can't seem to get the 750 to show a message when the SMS has been delivered. If I look at the sent folder, I can see if it was delivered and at what time. I would like a visual display like I get on my other phones.
Anyone any ideas?
I have installed Salman's application but it does nothing!!!

yes, is there anything to do so its easy to find out if the sms is sent or not
I have found this to be network specific.. When I use my Vodafone sim on my Treo750, I do not get a delivery report, while if I use my 3AU usim, I do receive delivery reports..
You can see it in your Sent Items folder and the msg icon would have a little green tick to indicate a successful delivery..

Have you configured your Message Notification options?
Messaging > Options > Notification > Request SMS receipts > When delivered
The above option not available on Vodafone :-(
So is there any way to make the delivery receipt pop up like a SMS does? It's troublesome to go the sent items just to check that the SMS has been delivered after sending.
i dont think it does.. i have a nokia e61i and it does have the pop-up notice..
maybe someone has developed an app for the treo750?
SMS Delivery Receipt
I'm using an unlocked (RWE) version of the Treo with Telfort/KPN as mobile provider. I never had decent SMS deliveryreceipts on my phone. Fidled with all kind of setting-combinations with no luck. I hope this will be fixed in the upcoming WM6 upgrade...
In the mean time; I'm using Samans SMSDRFix to get an receipt. This is a handy tool that works. It has a few drawbacks although. The original setting for SMS-deliveries should be on (otherwise you'll get no DR's at all), and when it's on; you'll get a double message all the time (one popup and one 'notification' on the todayscreen) but thats better than nothing at all. The last one is that this app is not designed for 240x240px screens, but that's not effecting the functionality.

Hi, when you look to the SMS you send and klick on the Date, you have the Message delivered or waiting for. It come no Popup, but the SMS become a stamp.
That's not what I need. To much a hussle to see the stamp. And it don't work all the time(strangly). The popup should work as I saw it on other WM5 HTC devices.
Hi,
i set requesting delivery reports for smss... but nothing returns me when message is delivered... is it normal ... ?
thx
I have the same thing.
Must be a bug with the Palm SMS app that does not make it play nice with my provider. I have found a tedious workaround. When I install Samans SMSDRFIX (do a search) then I do receive delivery reports. However, I receive them TWICE. Plus the popup message. Very annoying. As soon as I uninstall it, no more delivery receipts.
Weird huh.

I thinh I have solved that, palm messaging can't use normal delivery reports, if I enable them in registry, nothing changes but, if I have in settings of palm meddaging to request reports then in outbox folder, when you click on your sent message you will see, delivery report requested or that time when message was delivered not so happy solution but works... if you want normal messaging it looks like we have to use rom without palm messaging only with normal WM Inbox....

FWIW, it seems there might be a problem with the push on outgoing messages tonight
I am having a problem that when I get new SMS, it uses the "From" in the list of messages as an old (and deleted) thread all the time. I also can't reply to those SMS, but have to Compose a new message to respond. The only SMS that seems to work correctly are ones that I had received from contacts before I received the one SMS that it keeps using as the "From". So, in case it wasn't clear, all my new SMS show as coming from the same address (which happens to be an email address) and I can't reply to them. I'm sure a hard reset would fix this, but I don't want to have to go through reloading everything to just fix this one thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Any new SMS I receive from a contact show up in the message list (main screen where the "New Message" option shows as well as your messages threads) as coming from this one specific email address I received a message from about a week ago. If I open up that message thread, it shows the SMS as coming from the correct person but if I try and reply to it, it gives me an error saying "Your message has no valid recipients", so I have compose a new SMS from the main screen and put the address in to be able to respond. Some how it is keeping that one address and assigning any new SMS to that name in the thread list as well as not using the right address for replying. It's really strange and it's bugging the heck out of me!

I am having the same problem. When I send a new sms or recieve one, the reply always goes to the first entry in my address book, which happens to be a land line, and I then have to create a new message to reply. I tried deleting all the old messages, and now all the messages have this same problem.
Is there any way to fix this without having to do a hard reset?
I had to get a new SIM card from T-Mobile to resolve my messaging problems. Guess it was a good time since I had the same one for 8 years now.
I had to get a new SIM card when I bought my G1, mine was only 5 years old ;-)
So that shouldnt be the issue for me.
Hey there, I hope you're doing great!
I'm creating this thread because I was wondering if the issue I am about to describe is a known bug or if it only happens with me.
The problem I am experiencing is sporadic, as I cannot determinate a specific cause for it; it sometimes happen right after reboot, and sometimes after long usage, after a call, simple idling, etc.
Of course the issue is that when I receive an SMS message from a contact, I see it pop-up at the top as a notification, but when I want to see it in the threaded conversation, it is simply not there. I can continue texting, and they continue receiving my messages properly, as do I... only by looking at the top status bar though, because other than that, the threaded conversation remains the same during the whole exchange.
My phone is not rooted, it is a brand new LG-P999 from Videotron (They call it the LG Optimus 2X here!) and it runs Froyo 2.2.2!
Thank you very much for your help, and of course, excuse me if this issue has already been looked into! Otherwise, have an awesome day!
Is it possible you are using a third-party text app? I ask because I mainly use Google Voice for my texts, but every now and then someone will text my phone number, which of course means it goes to the phone's message app. As you mentioned, you get the notification and can respond just fine. However, if I don't pay attention, and go to my Voice messages, their messages will not appear, and I have to switch to the built-in message app to see their conversations.

Thanks for your reply, but I am actually using the stock SMS app!
Hmph, started looking into the "Messages" app settings and found something called "Text messages on SIM card" and found all the messages I was "missing".
What causes this?! =O
*EDIT*
I looked on the Internet a bit but found nothing pertaining to the LG-P999/G2X. I, however, found information on the matter saying that this is usually caused by reaching the maximum capacity of SMS messages in your phone. I have about 120 messages all in all, which is certainly a very small number! I also have about 4.50GB of free space on my phone!
Thanks for the help!
This is a known issue from LG... Call the tech support and open a ticket.

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
