Sent vs Delivery notification - General Questions and Answers

I saw the advanced config tool, there's an option to enable/disable 'Sent SMS Notifications' and 'SMS Delivery notification'
What's the difference? And which one should be preferred?

"Sent SMS Notification" is that annoying message that pops up to say your text message has been sent !
"SMS Delivery notification" is I think when you receive a text from your network saying its been delivered.
Disabled both on my phone.

Andrew is correct, first one is pointless, sms delivered can be useful esp when in low signal areas so i always keep mine on, but each to their own!

Hmm. Delivery is much more useful I guess.

I agree but check with your provider the delivery text may be charged for - or come out of your allowance.

Yeah, just checked, it's free.
But those messages are irritating. Is there a way to have the 'Message delivered' messages saved in a different folder/automatically deleted?

Not that I am aware of - it is treated as an incoming message.

Bumping for this. I remember seeing some app for deleting those notif messages on XDA, but I can't find it now.

SMS delivery report

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..

I'm using the 3AU WM6 ROM, I use 3 as my carrier, and I can't see a green tick near the message icon in the sent items!

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.

Different message delivery notification?

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.

How to NOT send SMS delivery notification

Hello
I'm interesting if it is possible to set WM6.1 on how to not sent back sms delivery notification.
for example:
when i get a sms, the sender gets delivery notification, i want to disable that, so when i get sms, sender gets nothing (as he had disabled sms delivery notification)
is this doable?
thanks for your replies
bye
No, that's from the operator side, not from the client.
Tried:
Start/ Programs/Messaging/Menu/Options check SMS/MMS Uncheck Request delivery notifications / Ok
yes/ no?

Yes, but this is if I send message to someone i get notification. If i uncheck this i won't receive notifications.
I want in vice versa case, if someone send me message, he DO NOT get notification...
The handset has to confirm receipt of the device to the SMSC of your network otherwise it will keep resending it to you. If the sender has requested a delivery report it is sent by the SMSC when it recieves the confirmation from your phone and not directly from your phone. Whilst it may be technically possible to stop the device sending a delivery confirmation from being sent back to the SMSC, it would result in all your texts coming in repeatedly every 2-5 mins so it would be exceptionally annoying. I'd imagine for this reason nobody's written an application to stop them getting sent.

[Q] Does the SMS/MMS "received" notification really accurate?

I would like to know if the Received notification in messaging (sms/mms) means that the recipient actually got the message or if it simply got sent?
The reason I'm asking is this. My Girlfriend has an I phone and she has blocked my phone number from calling her. But, when I text her, my phone gets the notification saying that the message was received by her phone. It doesn't give the "Read" notification because Android and I phone aren't compatible for that function.
Does "Received" mean she is getting the messages? Or that the message was delivered, but not necessarily received by the phone ?
This is killing me not knowing if I'm being ignored, or if they are being blocked like the phone calls.
Thanks to whoever has the correct answer. Please don't speculate. This is very important.

Received comes only after the recipient gets the message. It'll take a while if there's no network coverage!
I appreciate you answering my post. As small and insignificant it may seem from an outside view, it is so helpful in my current situation, way more than you could imagine.
Thanks

Text message app sending strange text messages

Hello,
I have a Nokia 3.1 phone running Android 8.1.0. My phone uses the default Google Messages app to send and receive text messages. The Messages app was working perfectly until recently. I was a recipient of a text message sent to about 6 people. When I replied to the message that was sent, all of the other recipients received a private text message containing my reply, as well as my reply being in the original mass text message. This has never happened before.* Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix the problem?
Thank you
Did it show up on your device as individual messages as well? It sounds like your group text option is set to send individual threads. I believe there are only two options with this, one that sends group texts and replies as one MMS and one that sends them out as individual threads. The latter keeps them from going out as MMS which for some counts against their data usage. If you haven't modified your settings or made any other data saving changes I'm not sure why this would have changed for you, unless the message originator changed something in their settings.

VidJunky, thank you very much for your reply.
In the Group Messaging settings, there are 2 options:
1. Send an SMS reply to all recipients and get individual replies (mass text)
2. Send an MMS reply to all recipients (group MMS)
Option 1 was selected on my phone, but I have switched to option 2.
Still not quite sure how that happened (I have had this phone for quite a while and never had this problem), but thank you very much for your reply!
No problem. It may have happened during an update. Thank you for your kind words.
