I have a Samsung Captivate running original Froyo but I think this issue is related to Android in general.
My phone in unlocked and I'm using it in Brazil, naturally not with AT&T.
No unofficial software is installed.
My issue is I don't have the "delivery report" option in message settings list, so I cannot set the phone to receive delivery reports when I send messages. This happens for SMS and MMS messages.
When I got this phone I kept the same simcard (line, plan, services and carrier). In my previous cell phone, it had this option which was set to enabled and used to work fine.
To re-check, I recently put my simcard in another phone and the option is there and works fine. So, the issue seems to be on the phone.
I've already tried Samsung support but it is completley useless!
I have already tried handcent, but delivery reports don't work very well.
I saw in XDA that there is a solution for Windows Mobile phones that consists in changing a value in the registry. Is there something similar for Android?
If not, is this related to the carrier or the phone/system ?
Regards,

same problem
Try custom roms, im using a custom rom from http://romkitchen.org/sgs on my i9000 and i have an option for delivery reports in the menu.
custom roms don't support quickoffice, adobe air, adobe reader and bunch of other stuff.. so what the hell is going on with these idiots? can't they make a good original ROM? the original update doesn't even give the new type of screen unlocking feature and bottom bar.. though it gives some uglyass icons in settings-menu..
just hate them!
what did they update actually?

Hi:
After Froyo update my texts no longer send. To me, everything appears normal, sends normally etc, but the recipient never receives them. I am receiving sms normally though.
Any thoughts? I'm desperate to get this fixed.
Thanks so much!
EDIT: MMS seem to work fine, it is only standard sms which do not work.
Anybody? Any suggestions at all would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks again!
thats weird, mine in ok after the update. but before I update to froyo, I factory data reset my phone. did u try it?

Check the message center number, I use the aosp mms.apk so im not sure how to do it on samsung mms.apk...att has a device tutorial on their website, might be able to use it and find out...I use to work tech for att and 99% of the time if you are able to receive but not send, its the msg center number...its something like +13123149810 ..if I remember correctly (might be wrong but check)
EDIT
here try this ... http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/solutionDisplay.jsp?solutionId=KB115194
EDIT 2
also make sure its not the recipients fault, (problem with their network..etc..try sending a sms to yourself, and try sending to different people on different networks) ..its probably the msg center number, but just to make sure...

My wife was having a similar problem after upgrading to Froyo, but only when sending to certain contacts. Not all. We ended up noticing that some of her contacts numbers looked like +xxx-xxxx. When we added a 1 after the plus (so +1-xxx-xxxx), it started sending correctly. Kinda weird, but it worked for us. So check your numbers and maybe either remove the + or add a 1 before the area code and see if that works.
You can try taking out your SIM card, putting it onto an older ATT phone. Send the it a message and make sure you receive it , send one as well. Then put the SIM card back into the other phone. This method worked for me when I had similair issues.
Take all parentheses and dashes out of the contact numbers - 8001234567
Trust me, it will work.
If all of that fails, swap the sim card with a friend. See if texting works with his sim card. I know it sounds weird, but my daughter had a similar problem with her samsung phone. It turned out to be the sim card.
Hi Everyone:
Thanks so much for your replies. Sadly none of them seemed to do the trick for me.
I am going to try a hard reset, since nothing else seems to work. I just haven't had time to re-install everything, so I haven't done it yet.
Thanks again!
PS: If that fails, is there a way to re-flash the froyo update from AT&T, I originally flashed through Keis mini, but it will not let me do it, since I am now up to date as far as it's concerned.
Hi Again:
I just discovered that sms do send if I use Handcent, or any other 3rd party software to send them.
Is there a was to re-install the stock messaging app only?
Thanks!
I tried asking this in the Dev area related to the specific Rom I tried ([JellyBean][4.2.2]Unofficial CM10.1) and didn't get an immediate response ... so I thought I'd ask a more generic question....
New to Samsung Infuse 4G custom roms... but needed to update my wife's phone so I came here. I'm quite fond of CM 10.1 on my Acer A500... so it seemed a great fit.
So far, the rom I chose ([JellyBean][4.2.2]Unofficial CM10.1) is working well for her, but for one thing... instead of getting AT&T voicemail notifications, she gets an SMS from 1001005080. I assume this is the vm notification, just not being handled correctly by her phone (as it does occur when vm is left). NOTE: Not interested in going the google voice solution... just want her vm notifications back.
Can someone recommend a Jelly Bean Rom for the Infuse 4G for which AT&T Voicemail notifications are known to be working? Or a way to fix the issue on my [JellyBean][4.2.2]Unofficial CM10.1 setup?
Thanks in advance!
i have seen this problem on other peoples phones before, and they liked it, as if they setup it up that way, have you tried calling your provider and see if its setup that way on their end or not? also you may have to reset your vm settings (ie call your vm and reset to default over the phone) it shouldnt be anything to do with the rom
I hope you won't mind if I bring up one of my own problems regarding voicemail. When I was running gingerbread (stock, unrooted) I randomly got a voicemail notification one day and it never went away. After rooting and going to JB thru ICS, my first JB ROM was Slim Bean (this was a few months ago, so a really outdated version). The voicemail notification disappeared. After that, I changed ROMs and then the voicemail notification reappeared. Ever since then, I have not been able to get rid of it. I was using Google voice when I originally got the notification, but since then I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but the notification has never gone away. Whenever I reboot the phone, the notification shows up about 30 sec - 1 min after rebooting and never goes away.
Thanks for anything you can do to help.
Functionally it doesn't affect my phone, it just is an annoyance and takes up space in the notification drawer.

Setup that way>
The voicemail notifications were previously working normally on her AT&T official GB Rom and as well on a rooted GB ROM I installed on her phone. It's only when I installed the JB based ROM that the issue occurred. I don't know why one would like it that way... you get a msg when VM is left and then another one when you login and listen/delete it. Seems a hassle to then have to manually delete the msgs (and to my wife as well!).
Setup on their end>
Again, no change there.
Reset vm Settings>
Worth a try. I'll see if it changes anything.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Well... nothing I tried to change in voicemail made any difference. So I took a different approach... this Infuse has been flakey the entire time my wife had it, so for $.99 I upgraded her to a Samsung Galaxy S III refurbished phone. Hugely better... and ... true voicemail notifications are back! No weird SMS msgs. So something weird must have happened in my upgrade to JB.
Love the III though !

Ah OK well glad you got you issue fixed

ok 1st allow me to say that i looked briefly through some other threads and have done some searching on google and still have a major problem. i cannot send nor receive any mms format messages at all. (whether simple data messages or pics. nether will download or send) i made note of the fact that there is a port that sends and receives these message types however i have no idea how to check if that port may have been closed at some point, i have my phone rooted however am not sure if something that i may have messed with could be a result of this. when the phone was new i had no issues....lol any help would be appreciated thanks
ok upon checking settings i found that the apn settings are either wrong or not there (as in says things like "blank") tried using an app named "apn manager" used a tutorial i found here on the forums for how to install and use (using titanium pro) and i cant get it work =/ again thanks for any help
Hello, I'm a normal (not expert on rooting etc) android phone user and even after googling i couldn't solve or answer my question/issue. The past phone I had was an xperia z3 compact. This phone was able to send mms automatically (even with data off i could see the lte working for a few seconds and then the mms was sent it stopped). Now with my latest phone Lg Q6 i need to put the data on (and off) each time i want to send or recieve and mms. I checked on the Android messages app and my lg q6 has acces to my network. So i believe it should be able to also send mms automatically but it doesnt. So what is it? As i said i did some googling and i found nothing. Some people said it was the apn, and i checked, is the same info that i had before. I don't want to download any 3rd apps either. I know that i could just leave the data on but i don't want to risk it as i have a small data plan.
I contacted lg, google and Fido. Fido and google said that Lg is the one that should be able to help me with this (even if the app is from google) so i call Lg and they suggested a reboot, and factory reset. Still the same.
I have the idea is like some coding (ors something like that) on the app that doesn't allow it. After reading some forums i saw that HTC and some samsung phones also send mms automatically.
Any ideas on what else can i do?
Thanks!
Have you tries all the tips on this website: http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/beginner/how-to-automatically-receive-mms-picture-messages/
If you have and it's still not working, then I think it may be a factory problem.

Update: I tried what it said on that link and also some things from the comments and still the same. I'm looking now for more info in this forum so i'll see if there's something new to try.
Hi,
I have the IQOO Neo5 (chinese variant of the IQOO 7).
I uninstalled Vivo's browser (and basically most of their apps). When I'm trying to open linked from SMS messages I get an error saying "feature is not available". I obviously did set a different browser as a default one in the settings (also tried to do that again).
Did anyone encounter that?
Thanks
I have uninstalled the browser in indian version Iqoo 7 ..no such issue..i get the option to chose browser..Bromite as my default one..
It just does not work with Vivo's messaging application. I ended up just using another one, which is actually quite a lot better (Textra). This app does recognise the new default browser.
Did you check this option, issue is resolved by first option
Is this the Indian variant ROM? In my Chinese one I cannot have an empty option.
An issue I had while traveling after I had uninstalled the browser is that I had issues with WiFi networks that requires the opening of a log in page. When clicking on the notification that says that I need to log in, nothing has opened.
I now realised that I might have needed to let my new default browser (FF) permissions to auto launch. That might have solved that. But I have no way of checking it out right now as in my living area I have no networks that require a log in via a browser.
Yes..its the Indian variant...i would suggest to factory reset if you're facing trouble...
