Hello
I got myself a shiny new TyTN. So far (coming from Blue Angel, then Universal), I'm very impressed with the device. There's only one slight nuisance: I don't receive text notifications for new voicemails anymore. I just spent about half an hour with my operator's technical (competent, by the way) support trying to sort this out.
They told me these notifications were a special category of text messages; say I have one voicemail waiting for me - I get a text message "You have 1 new voice mail in your voicemail box". If I don't listen to it and I get a second, the network only sends an update telling me "You have 2 new voice mails in your voicemail box" etc. I guess this works the same in other countries as well.
Support did a trace and they saw that the notification not only went out, but was acknowledged by my device after between 8 and 40 seconds. Still, my device doesn't show the message. Is there any tool I can use to purge the text message cache on my SIM card (support told me the messages were stored on the SIM)? Or is it possible HTC f***ed up and implemented this feature wrong, so I would have to wait for a firmware update?
@Fermin
I own an Orange device (SPV M3000). When I receive a notification about voicemails it shows up like an SMS message.
I had a look on the WorldWideWeb and found some information for you
1---
I had the same problem today. I was notified of the voicemail and I checked it. Erased the voicemail and the notification still remained. For the life of me i couldn't get it to go away. I tried to dismiss it like 20 times and nothing...finally I had to call my own phone from work leave a test voicemail and check it again. Erased it again and it went away.

Try this:- phone>menu>options>services. You should see an array of listings including "Voice Mail and Text Messaging".
Highlight this and then >get settings.
You should have a number in the 'Text messages service center' box.
If you don't - it's a quick call to your provider.

Hope it can help you out!
Let me know if it doesn't.
Wondering, did you perform a hard reset to see if that fixes the problem?
Why do you want to receive a text message when you get a voicemail? The device supports the protocol that delivers a 'spool' icon to the phone when a vociemeial is waitign to be received. This icon is directly linked to the voicemail, meanign that it cannot be manually deleted by the phone user. When you have listened to the voicemail, the icon disappears. Great! That is as it should be. I am aware that not all networks use this systme but i have never understood why not. It is the most reliable method of knowign that you have unheard vociemails.
I have very occasionally had the problem that the icon wouldnt disappear after listenign to the voicemail. I found that if i rang the voicemail again, that often cleared the icon. Failing that, if a new voicemail comes in & is then listened to, that will generally clear the icon at last.
I used to use a network that didnt support this icon, & so i had to rely on either the phine ringing me to tell me that i had a vociemail (if i can;t answer the original call, how on earth can i answer anither call to tell me that i have a voicemial!!) or getting a text message. The problems with the text message method of notification is that (i) i have to opne & read the SMS to discover that it isnt really a text, but a voicemail, and (ii) if i delete this sms but then get interupted before i call my voicemail, then i no longer have a reminder to check my vociemail and (iii) if i listen to the vociemail before delteign the sms and then get interupted before deletign the SMS, i still have an sms tellign me that i have unheard vociemail, even though i have already listened to it!
For all these reasons, i have always thought the best method is the spearte notification 'spool' icon, as i can immeidately see that i have voicemail, as opposed to unread sms & can just press the icon on the home page to dial my voicemail.
If anyone prefers the alternative methods, please explain how they are better than this.
If you are on Orange in the UK, the numbers in the "Voice Mail and Text Messaging" menu should be:
SMS Centre: +447973100973
Voicemail: +447973100123
BTW I'm still using the Magician (Orange SPV M500), but i asume that the Hermes/TyTN works the same way.
Does anyone know when Orange will brign out the Hermes? I heard they were brandign it as M3100.

I've never seen that spool icon before, where would it be located? As far as I know, my operator does only support text messages notification :-(
I checked the settings; SMS Centre and Voicemail are configured as they should be, and I even changed them to something else and then back to the correct settings just to be sure. Everything else concerning text messages works, so I guess the settings are correct.
If I put the phone near my computer's speakers when a text message about a new voice mail should come in, I hear the "mobile blues" in the speaker, so I'd say the support specialist was telling me the truth when she said a trace showed that not only was the message being sent out, but that my phone even acknowledged reception.
I'm somehow stuck... but thanks for your help. Guess it's either start hunting for registry settings, or start hoping for a new ROM release
There are some strange things with the latest ROM that HTC produces.. ..I now about a Prohet problem that send an SMS multiple times, or even recieves it multiple times..
Will keep my eyes open for a solution for your problem!
Did you try the Hard Reset option?
It seems like the same problem I had on my SPV C600 when I wanted to receive an vCard.. ..the phone would light up but that was it.. ..strange phenomenon
It may only be Orange that support this icon, but is a VERY useful feature & has been around for many years. I know that Vodafone & O2 in the UK do not have it, but i thoght that T-Mobile do. I dont understand why they dont all implement this feature. I wouldnt use a network that didnt use it!
The 'spool' icon looks a little like: o_o (it represents a tape reccorder!)

Thanks for your help. Hard Reset is a last resort option - and I can't really see that this would be a solution, since the device is brand new and the feature never worked in the first place. I get about 3-4 voice mails per day, so I should have received them from the start. I just didn't notice they were missing until a day later - guess I was too preoccupied drooling all over the device :wink:
I have the same problem with my brand new TyTN and it seems that we're not alone. It definitely is a ROM bug.
I already reported the problem to HTC and hope we'll have a solution within days.
Hi guys,
Same problem with my new v1605 TyTN. Spent 4 calls now to Vodafone support and each time they tell me they can see the SMS being sent and that it is acknowledged by the device. However, I never receive any notification of the text message. If I switch the voicemail to use call-and-deliver it phones me within seconds of a voicemail being left.
I tried hard resets, vodafone tried resetting my voicemail - all to no avail.
So - am glad to hear others have this and think it is ROM related. Hope there is a fix soon...
Rich
Am tempted to call vodafone back and let them know....
I *did* call Vodafone to tell them and after some waiting I was told that the tekkies knew of the fault but the manufacturer had not given a fix date yet. They say that once the fix becomes available it will either be sent over air to the device (I find this hard to believe) or a download will become available through their website.
R
I have to say that it works fine with mine. I use the 242 version not 121 and with text and notify it works exactly as it should. Text and spool symbol arrive straight away and go when they should do.
ROM Version 120.161.3
Rom Date 06/06/06
Radio Version 1.03.06.00
Protocol Version 32.36.7010.01W
What is the 242 version, how do I switch from the 121 and what are the implications, if any?
R
EDIT - went to vodafone.net to sign up for this - got as far as 'Your security code will arrive as a text message' and of course - this never arrived. Must be some problem with service originated SMS messages to this handset....
I had the same problem with the Voicemail notification and have found this somewhere in the internet. I have tried it and it works for me.
HKEY_Current_USER\System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread\Count
the value is more than 1
Change the DWord value from more than 1 to 0 and the problem just disappeared.
Try it and see if it works for you.
Good luck!
Mine was already set to 0 Thanks anyway...
Still waiting for a fix....

On the O2 network you can change from Voicemail notification by SMS Text to the onscreen Spool / Tape icon by ringing the VM system on 901 and selecting the Mailbox Settings (option 4 I think) then selecting "onscreen notification" instead of "notification by Text" - option 3
Hope this helps.

Great, it works for me too!
Anyone using, or planning to use, the HTC Touch Cruise on the UK T-Mobile network will very probably need to do a special setup on their device to get voicemail access working properly.
The symptom is that your callers will be able to leave you voicemail messages but you will not be able to pick them up from your phone. When you get a voicemail message you will get the notification but when you press the soft key to access voicemail it will dial the number but you will then get an error message saying "access to this number is barred" and the system will hang up on you.
If you try accessing voicemail by holding down the "1" key or by explicitly dialing the voicemail access number retrieved from the network (probably of the form "+44050<your mobile number minus the leading zero>" or ""+44068<your mobile number minus the leading zero>") you will get the same message. Dialing 222 will work but will also initiate a voicemail setup message each time and however many times you switch your phone on and off to reload the voicemail settings from the network it still won't work.
I just spent 2 days with the very helpful T-Mobile support to sort this out, ultimately getting escalated up two levels in the technical support group, until I got someone who recognised the problem.
The issue is simple to resolve. The problem is that the format of the voicemail access number that the T-Mobile UK network pushes down to the handset is incompatible with the HTC software on the Touch Cruise (and maybe other devices too). The thing the software doesn't like is the "+" at the beginning.
To fix it go to the Settings/Personal/Phone application and click the second tab ("Services"). Now select "Voice Mail and Text Messages" and click "Get Settings...". You should now see a screen with two access numbers populated, one for voicemail and the other for text messages. Both will probably start with "+44". The text message access number is OK so don't mess with that but the voicemail access number won't work with the UK network. Simply replace the "+" with "00" and click OK and then your voicemail should work as you expect.
I haven't tried accessing voicemail outside the UK so it is possible that the above might break your access when roaming and you might need to edit back the "+" when travelling. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with non-UK access and a "0044..." setting rather than the default "+44...", does it dial the UK access number OK?
(Actually, I never looked at the mechanics of accessing voicemail outside the UK, does it still dial the UK number or does the host network automatically push an alternate local access number to your phone when you register with the network?)
- Julian
Nice on Julian. I bought an Orbit 2 on O2, but my number doesn't transfer to O2 for few days yet, so have been using my T-Mobile SIM, and also experiencing this problem.
Thanks for sharing the tip!
I'm on UK T-Mob Web&Walk. Switched the +44 entry to 0044...but my TC then coundn't send texts. Switched it back and fortunately can still access voicemail as well as send texts. Strange.
I'm with T-mobile running an old T-mobile sim card on my new TC, when first called voice mail it gave me a long introduction then said "turn of your mobile off and on again to not get this messages again", I turned TC to "air plain mode" back to on mode and everything was cool from there on.
It seems that not everyone have that problem OR T-mobile has sort out that problem after Julian told them about the problem. In any case, thanks Julian to share this with us.
PS (today after reading this post is the first time that I use voice mail with my new TC)
Similar problem on WM 6.5 Asus Crystal
I had exactly this problem with T-Mobile and WM 6.5.
T-Mobile technical support was excellent, ringing back on several occasions to ensure that the problem was fixed, even though my handset is not a supported model. Once I was put through to 2nd layer support they fixed it in seconds.
In a nutshell, if you text and voice service centre numbers begin with a +44......, change them to 0044......
This did not happen on my XDA Exec WM5.0, so appears to be a new thing in WM6.5?
Hello, I have only had my touch pro a few days and when I try to access my voicemail I get to the part to enter my pin, then it tells me "first new message..." and then it hangs up. Is this a known issue? I tried searching the forum and in fact all of google, but nothing.
Any ideas?
I've had the same issue here in the Netherlands.
Disconnect when I called my own VM, also a disconnect when I tried to leave a message at a friend.
Both are in the TMobile network.
Just tried it again, but it workes ok now
solved
I figured it out for my phone. When I put my sim card in, the phone auto detects settings for sms, mms, data and voicemail. Here in Canada, providers have several different voicemail retrieval numbers and the phone autodetected the wrong one. I thought that since it did work at least somewhat, that the number was not the issue.
Contact your service provider and make sure your phone didn't choose the wrong retrieval number too
Really strange. I suddenly lost the ability to send SMS messages. I can still receive them, and I can still send MMS, pictures...etc., but NOT SMS.
This has happened before once on my Nexus One, I went into messaging, opened settings, and there was an option for "Service Center number" or something similar...I was then able to input the SMSC # "12063130004" and all was well.
However, in Gingerbread on the nexus S, there is no such option under messaging settings
I tried *#*#info#*#* as well, went to the SMSC box which was blank, entered "+12063130004", then clicked update...but I keep getting "Update Error".
I'm not sure if this matters or not, but when I choose "Refresh" to the right of the blank SMSC box, instead of obtaining the correct telephone number, I get "00".
If anyone has encountered this, or has any other possible ideas...I'm all for it. I've tried some basic stuff, cycling battery, restoring from nandroid...even flashing a stock 2.3.1 and unrooting/unlocking the Nexus S, and I am still stuck, totally unable to send an SMS. Please help!

Possibly, thanks for checking. I wish there was a way to manually enter a SMS service number in messaging settings like in previous android versions. I was thinking maybe for some reason my SIM card is too old, and suddenly decided to not be recognized properly. Looks like I'll be going to t-mobile tomorrow,
May wanna give them a call. going into a store they wont be able to help you
I've found that the primary merit to taking my phone to T-Mobile when it's messed up is so the guy behind the counter has to go through the list of things you already tried that the phone support agent is required to tell you to try again instead of having to do it myself. At least I can check out some cool phones and accessories while I wait. >.>

I spoke to a lovely Tmobile rep. She lead me through troubleshooting, except it was for Froyo, not gingerbread. When I brought this to her attention, and reminded her this was a nexus s, she connected me to samsung , and the call never went through.
Could a 5 year old SIM card magically stop working properly for SMS?

Yeah. Unfortunately, since the Nexus S isn't supported by T-Mobile, giving you a new SIM card is about all they'll probably do, unless you're lucky and get a rep who's actually tech savvy.

The @Tmobile twitter is way handy and the reps who run that, are actual engineers so send them a tweet
This could be many things... does the Nexus S not have the ability to do the *#*#4636#*#*?
That is the code on every Android phone (save a very few POS) to get into the "engineering" menu. Select "phone" from that menu, then scroll to the bottom and bingo, SMS service center number entry... first hit refresh to see what is shows, if not correct delete, enter in the correct one, then update.
If the phone doesn't have the *#*#4636#*#* menu, not sure... perhaps your SIM doesn't have the SMS service center # saved to it anymore? New SIM would correct that, or putting your sim in an basic phone, then changing the service center # on that phone would put it back on the SIM.
Also, have you tried texting yourself to make sure it isn't a cross carrier issue? I know Verizon, for example, doesn't play very nicely with other carriers (actually all carriers prioritize in network traffic over cross carrier traffic, but Verizon seems to be especially bad in my experiences).
(FYI, I was looking through as I am thinking about getting a Nexus S and saw this thread, and couldn't help but toss in a word or two given I sell cell phones and have to deal with things like this all day).

SMSC Update Error - Solved
I had the same problem - but found a way to solve it without replacing sim.
What you need to do is to insert the sim into an older phone and update message central number from there.
I fixed it using a nokia 3210 - after having tried using an n95 with no success.
While trying to figure out what was wrong i tested with another sim also - and when reading out the SMSC from the *#*#info#*#*-menu i found that the number is stored in some strangely obfuscated way.
Here is how it stores number for two of norways major operators:
Netcom: +4792001000 - shows as 06917429000100
Telenor: +4790002100 - shows as 06917409001200
What the first 4 digits are for, i'm not sure, perhaps a code for '+' but whats interesting is the last 10 digits - they are basically swapped around in pairs of two.
I tried inputting the digits for the other central in this manner, and sure enough - it saved ok!
Hope this help someone
grab another phone and put your SIM card in it
then try to send a SMS
see if that works properly or not.
if that works, then it might be a SNS setting issues
if the SIM card does not send SMS on another phone, then you'll need to swap your SIM card with a new one.
I had the exact same problem just few weeks ago

a one-phone solution from www google com tw/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=078232a74455bbf0&hl=en
Code:
OK, I managed to fix this. I'll post the answer because this was buried deep and is a pain.
Answer is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-926771.html
The relevant text is below. One thing I'd say is that the link is a bit vague on how to do the conversion. You need to put your SMSC number in the page, clear the rest of the info and press convert. You then need to ignore the numbers after 11.
For example, my vodafone +447785016005 goes to 0791447758100650110000910000AA00, which shortens to 079144775810065011. Go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and put that in SMSC and hit update. Messages now send!!!. Hopefully I can save someone else the grief I've had all day...
"
to update the SMSC in android,
the number first need to be encoded
please use below url to encode the SMSC
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
for example, if your SMSC is number is +4531300000,
after encode, it is 0691541303000011
put this in the info page, and it will work.

UPDATED
I´ve just been using the HTC ONE X for about 4 days and I´ve been receiving hundreds of repeated msgs from my carrier. They say "Vivo RJ 21" (Vivo is the carrier, RJ stands for Rio de Janeiro...the city, and 21 is the area code for Rio de Janeiro). I´ve already tried several factory resets with no luck. I´ve also tried a micro sim card from a different carrier and I kept receiving the same msg (except for the carrier name). I´ve received other regular msgs from my carrier and from other people that were not repeated. It´s just this one.
What are my options here????
Do you still have the same number ported over? If so then maybe it might be a glitch in there system. If not then it might be spam from the poor person before you. Either way either get a block on that or call carrier to stop it.
The worst part is that I cannot even block this number because whenever I try to add the number to the Mr.Number app it tells me to add a valid number. The number is only 2 digits...it´s 50
Looks like it would be best to either call them or go in store and ask them to test the phone. Sounds more like a software hiccup, but who know? Hope you don't have to receive that many texts tomorrow
But do you guys think there is a chance this could be phone related?
I might just try to get a micro-sim to sim card adapter and test it another phone to see if it still happens.
Its a broadcast message
U can stop it in message setting
It will not harm u
Press thanks
Or u can give me ur one x as a gift
How do I stop that in settings? I´ve tried everything and I don´t think it´s that simple.
It must be getting close to 200 messages.
Just go to your carrier already! Or if nothing works, then do a barrel roll~
Don´t you think I would have gone to the carrier if it wasn´t closed during the weekends! I´ve already called them 3 times and they did different things. The last thing they did I was supposed to wait 24h.
What is a barrel roll?
Can you remove the SIM and use the phone without it? If not then try finding some other app that blocks numbers... maybe one that supports blocking operator numbers?
as said before carrier messages can be blocked...I'm assuming a battery pull did nothing?

Click to expand...

Ok, just let me know how. So far I´ve tried about 7 differente text/spam blockers apps and none has worked.
The HTC One X´s batt cannot be removed.
Do you have message settings
Just check there might be option of broadcast message
Keep our forum clean
I do have message settings but there are no options there that would help me with this (only stuff like notification types, signature, forward to email, etc).
Today I´m going to the store where I got the micro sim card to have it changed. I REALLY hope it works because it would be a real shame if this was the HTC One X and not the micro sim card.
When I go to "about the phone", then "network" it shows:
operator name - unkown
signal strenght - 0
mobile network type - unkown
service state - radio off
roaming - not roaming
Nonetheless I can make and receive calls, send and receive text msgs, navigate, etc. The only issue is really the operator msgs informing my city area code over and over again.
I went to the carrier and got a new micro sim and did a factory reset WITH the micro sim card inside the phone. The date above got populated. I will wait to see if I will get anymore msgs but I think this might be it.
I´ve tried with a micro sim card from a different carrier and the problem persists. This is phone related for sure. I really don´t know what else to do...maybe try a different rom other then the stock?
I´ve called HTC again and they instructed me to do the following:
-> "settings", "call" and then disable the option "cell broadcast".
So far no msgs. Lets wait and see.
