Text messaging does not work - HTC Tornado

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!!

SMS with more than one part - problem

I have a Mio A701 with WM5, the latest official ROM.
Whenever you write more than 160 characters (or 80 in Unicode, I've disabled the Unicode option anyway), that message will be sent in multiple sms.
The thing is, whenever I pass that limit (160 characters), aka need to send a multiple sms message, I just can't send it. I always get the error "Your text message cannot be sent".
So, is this a bug, an option that can be checked/unchecked? The logical thing would be windows sending it automatically, wouldn't it?
yeah it should auto split it into 2 and send them both it works for me
so it could be an issue with the rom you are using or the operator but then
people with other phones would get the same prob
I also thought that maybe was some kind of configuration I had to do because of the operator, because with other cellphones I could always send text messages like that without any problem. I've asked this in many places but never got a reply
No one really knows a solution to this? Or at least that it happened to someone here? I'm still stuck with splitting the messages manually I've changed my rom to WM6.1, but it's still the same! With generic cellphones this never happened, so I don't really know where the problem is coming from.
I've thought that maybe it's because the sending timeout is too short... Can that be changed in the registry?
I'm back again! And still with the problem
I've found out that with SMS Chat v1.05, I can send messages normally. With any more recent version, or any other program, the same problem occurs. Any idea on why?

Fuze Can't Send or Receive SMS!!

Hey Guys, first time posting...
My Fuze has been great, except when it comes to sending and receiving sms messages... I can't!!... and if I go Start/Messages none of my original text messages from my Sim are there.
It makes me think that the phone and sim card aren't communicating properly?... although I can receive and make calls... could it be something that needs to be changed in the registry? I have installed PHM Registry Editor but don't know what I need to change.
Also, I have TouchFlo on the phone and when I slide the menu tab to messages, I can see new messages that I have received (yes that's right, I receive msg's through touchflo, but no other way!), and they are stored on my phone and not my SIM! AND it doesn't notify me when a new msg comes in which is very annoying!! And the same problem... I can't send messages
So in summary, I think the texting side of the phone it not correctly setup and needs to communicate with my SIM card.. I assume it is a registry change that needs to be made?
Please help...
Thanks, Seireon

I have the same problem and emailed ATT, their response was that if the SIM that I have is 3G it should work fine on the phone. I need to call tech support with ATT to see if they can troubleshoot, as I will not exchange the phone due to some investments in it already like invisble barrier. If there is a issue with the SIM that I should be aware of please continue this thread as I know that there are many in the same hole. Thank you.
more info
Spoke with ATT CS the sim card has to be matched to your phone in order for it to work properly, I can send and receive mms and sms messages now.
ok same problem again sms, stopped working,
new developments I have been able to figure out that the problem is associated with the media net connection. once media net has established a connection, sms stops working. I have been unable to send multimedia messages, what I will try next is to try by flashing another ATT/Cingular ROM to see if the issue disappears, if it does then is a software issue, if it does not disappears then is a hardware issue and I'll have to change the phone for another.
I'll post in a few hours.
Í've been having the same problem with my phones. Every 3-4 weeks I will lose the ability to sms. I go to att online chat support and they reset my phone. I believe it is related to att's account systems because it happened once before I got the fuze and it occurs on every phone on my account. Ít's getting to be a hassle to swap my sim into my "dumb phone" to call att for a resolution. I might have to get the pda plan so I can gripe about it more.
Ok I have PDA plan.
Flashed the following ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466219
Everything is working like a charm. I opted to flash that custom ROM because of its great reviews and apparent lack of issues. I'm still testing it, but so far is all good. I'll update if issues regarding this thread come to light. Thank you.
Having the same problem
Same problem here, although I can send text messages, my picture messages are hit and miss (miss in the beginning). ATT had me go in get another SIM card and do a hard reset... this kind of fixed it... now I can send/recieve sometimes.
I'm interested in hearing if the new ROM fixed this in the long run (not just for the first few days).
Hey,
got the same problem aswell now!
Flashed the same ROM, and now I can't send any SMS anymore. Before the flash I was able to (flashed from stock)
Would love to hear if you got it work! I'd like to know the solution!
Thank you
- luikki
4 days of testing and still working perfectly, if you have issues with sms, or voice mail, please check that you have the right numbers on the Voice Mail and Text Messages services, at
Phone, Options, Services. For Att in US they should be the following:
Text Messages Service Center: 13123149810
Voice Mail: ""write your account cell phone number""
Hope this helps. Thanks.
i had this problem when i first got my fuze.. sometimes the touchflo messes up when installing and a hard reset solved my problem..
Update, no problems so far everything is working like a charm. Thanks.
still have that same problem
i lost the ability to send or receive sms after i flashed my phone for the second time.
first time from stock, did rre fuze 4.5 special edition.. sms worked like a champ.
second time changed to romeos and things stopped working for sms altogether. weird thing is i can do that whole call "get numbers used" in my contacts, and it will text me how many minutes i have.
i cannot send nor receive any messages. iam getting frustrated with this because no one really seems to have an issue.
i just did two hard resets, flashed to rre fuze 4.5 special edition, and still cannot get anything to work.
i read somewhere that turning 3g off worked. it did not.
my voice mail and text message service reads as follows
text messages service center: +1 (312) 314-9810
is it supposed to read like that or what?
please advise.
Problem
I'm having the same problem with SMS, I can't send or recieve any pictures, audio files through messages, nor can I recieve or send bluetooth files once connected to another phone via bluetooth, does anyone have a answer to that?
btw I have flashed my phone at least 4 times. different rom versions until i found one i liked. Now i am barely noticing I can't sms

SMS "stuck" in outbox - Windows mobile 6.1

Hi,
Today I found an SMS message stuck in the outbox on my "HTC touch pro", (O2 network).
The message was resending itself regularly, (upsetting the recipient obviously).
I was unable to just delete the message from the outbox and found that it only dissappeared after deleting it from the deleted items folder.
Is this a common problem - has anyone found a way of stopping this happening.
I've only been using this phone for about 1 month but this has not happened previously.
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
Can anyone help with this one??????
PLEEEEEASE!!!!
Never seen this before. Are you using the stock ROM?
Yep- everything as purchased.
No tweaks or upgrades.

Strange problem.
What (precise) ROM & WWE version does your touch pro run?
Does it show multiple copies of the same textmessage in "sent items"?
did the message contain other than simple text?
Like #34 or #*34 and alike sort of formating (34 used as example for any range of numbers)
What I could think of is that the cell provider or phone has some kind of error in which the text sending wasn't completed eg. the cell tower didn't send/ the phone didn't receive the propper "message sent" signal, and the phone simply resend the message.
Did it happen with only one receipient?
Hi,
ROM version is 1.90.206.4 WWE
Text msg was straight forward text - no numbers/characters.
Error only occured to one recipient.
Only one copy of the msg was held in the outbox.
Cheers

I would say it was a fluke, never heard of this before, and I really think it has to do with cell<->phone communication.
Keep us posted if it happens again.

Hi,
I've got exectly the same problem, however the thing I discovered is that my text messages stay in the outbox when I have the regulare GSM netwerkcoverage, as soon as I've got 3G or HSPDA receive they are being transferred, my textmessage settings however say they have to be transfered by GSM.
I've got a SE X1 on stock WINMO 6.1 build 19608.1.2.60
Nobody formiliare with this problem? (excue me for my bad English)
Me too. Can't edit the message, can't delete it, can't move it. Keeps sending to the same recipient everytime I open messaging. I've pulled the battery, no change
WM 6.1 pro
CE OS 5.2.19214 Build 19214.1.0.4
ATT tilt (HTC 8925)
Bad form to reply to my own message, but found a tolerable fix
I did a MENU TOOLS Clear Messages
And the second time it got rid of it.
First time hung for several minutes, second time that was the only message left to delete.
This happened to me too today, I was chatting with a friend and she was like why the hell do you keep sending the same message over and over again.
I restarted the phone and no change then I looked in the outbox it is there cant delete cant edit cant move.
However the message is in the deleted items too.
if its not just click delete in the outbox then go to the deleted items and click delete from there it will be gone.
The message somehow links it to both folders like a shadow copy.
Simply that process fixed it.
--------
PS : I was using Wm 6.5 and threaded texting.
Same Issue
Yeah mine are just sitting in Outbox too. I can reply to a message without an issue but when I compose a new message it just goes to the outbox and there isn't a way to send it. Just simple text so no clue why. Any advice?

Rom sends automatic sms!!

Hi there,
Each hour, the system ( custom tom JACxROM [v1.3] ) send a message to the number 00453 ( Denmark ), but I don't see anything in my sms box, but on my provider statics, they said me I send much sms to 00453, is this an error in the system?
I think yes, but I flashed the rom again, and with the first boot, the system has send 10 messages to 00453, an unknown number for me, and as told, I don't see the messages in my sms app.
Somebody knows how this happens?
i wouldnt have thought that would be the rom.Try putting the sim card in another phone for a day, Look at your next bill for the certain day and heck if the other phone has sent it.
Does this ROM come with any T-mobile apps like Myfaves?
Your problem seems to be similar to the T-mobile Myfaves problem we used to have on imported G1's in the past => see here
Take a log with ddms and check if something is happening with SMSStatusReceiver, it should tell you which application is sending those messages.
I hope that Proximus number is not your girlfriend
you can also try flashing a different rom and see if it happens again. might not be rom related, but as AMON said, app related.
I found the problem, it was the MyFaves apps that sends automaticly sms messages to their server. So I deleted this app and my problem is solved now!

Flashed to [ICS] 4.0.4 and now can't text

I'm on the AT&T network and can't send texts anymore after flashing to ICS. I can make calls and use my data plan but am unable to send SMS for some reason. I've tried almost every APN setting recommended by others and still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions or has had a similar problem that they resolved?

Correction. I can receive text messages but not send them.
*UPDATE 9/11*
So I found out the issue is related to the Message Center which you can access from "Messaging" -> hit the option button -> Settings.
After flashing to ICS I noticed that this option has been removed so I can't edit the message center. Are there any ICS or JB ROMs that still have this option available to the user? I need to change the message center number back to what it needs to be in order to send SMS texts.
27 views and no responses? Anyone?
After a BUNCH of research I finally found out how to fix this. Instead of posting a to the thread I found (since I'm still under 10 posts) I will post my copied instructions.
Go to google and search for your SMS center number which should be based on the carrier you have.
Next, go to twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
Scroll down to where you see SMSC, Receiver, and Alphabet size.
Put in the entire SMSC number, including the + sign into the box, leave receiver blank, change the Alphabet size to 8, and delete whatever is in the message box under Alphabet and hit Convert.
Now, on your phone go to the Phone info menu described above and scroll to the bottom and find the SMSC field.
Enter the first 16 numbers into that field and hit update.
Reboot your phone and you can now send SMS.
This fix is for people who have the proper modems flashed on there phones and can still receive texts but not send them.
