MMS handling problems?

My Niki is getting a little, er, awkward at handling MMS at the moment, I'll explain :
It does seem incredibly slow at downloading/opening MMS, and invariably the messages are nothing more than plain text (some friends who have bizarre text plans).
I can be in the middle of writing a text message, and then an incoming (text) MMS is received, and the phone is basically useless whilst the message is coming in.
And earlier it decided that it wasn't going to open any of the MMS that had been received this morning, would only open SMS.
Left it for a few minutes, no change, so decided to do a full power off reboot. Started back up again, and it had deleted all the messages that had been received in the last 10 or so minutes.
Any suggestions on what I could do to improve the general SMS/MMS handling? The phone is running on the stock Orange rom.
ps. please don't suggest using pocketcm instead - it doesn't seem to be able to send SMS at all on my Niki

Sms not working?

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?

Text messaging does not work

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 "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?

1 unread sms notification

Hello,
My HTC says that i have 1 unread SMS.
There is no new message.
I have deleted all messages, and i still have this notification.
I tweak the register to change the HKCU\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread key to 0 but when in receive a message it says that i have 2 unread sms (the one that i received and the "ghost message")
I have of course made a soft and hard reset.
Can you help me?
Thank's and sorry for my bad English.

You can try to flash your rom again?
Its just an idea...

Nothing else?!...
I have never flash a phone and i don't want to do this...

Hard reset is pretty heavy stuff.....assume you have cleared your outlook account......

Hi,
first of all a question. Are you really shure you've made a hardreset? I can't believe that this problem stays persistant after hardreset. I know this problem very well, but never after hardreset because all databases where reset by this.
But anywayy you should do a search within this forum for fixunreadcount.exe, this little program works very fine.
regards
Bernhard

After the hard reset, the problem disappear but when i back up my messages it's come back.

I have this same issue sometimes.. the problem is MMS messages that are partially received and not opened.
There truly IS an unread message in your inbox! You're just not looking right! Have a look in the MMS inbox and SMS inbox !
Tip: try to sort the inbox view on message type!

look further on this forum for "reset sms counter" and similar words. You'll find some software to do that job!
