I work in the basement of a building, and thus, my reception is spotty at best. I tend to use my phone most for text messaging (and not even SMS, though I'm not sure I'm clear on the difference).
If I'm sitting on my desk, I will eventually (through the proper alignment of air particles or whatever) get signal and receive text messages, though sometimes they're delayed. However, when I reply, I usually get "text message cannot be sent" and the message stored in drafts (and often I don't even see this message, and only notice hours later that the message wasn't sent).
Every other (non smart-)phone I've had has automatically retried to send text/SMS until it succeeded, but for some reason Windows Mobile doesn't do this, and relies on me realizing that a message is still in drafts, and makes me resend manually.
I found this thread from 2006 that addresses the same problem, but there was no solution at the time. I was hoping that Mobile 6 or 6.1 would solve the issue, but it appears they still just abandon failed messages.
Are there any third party apps that will retry until successful? I'd like it to be for standard text messages, though I could switch to SMS with my wife to solve the main issue.
I've found a post in the kaiser software forum that says that "Palm Threaded Messaging" does this, but isn't that a Palm app? They also mentioned that it gets rid of the 'text messages' link in messaging, which is unacceptable.
Anybody know of an app or registry fix that would solve this? I've tried searches on google and this forum, and have come up with nothing. Does anybody have the skill to write such an app? I might be willing to pay for a couple hours worth of development.
Thanks.
I am looking for the same solution.
I have a samsung i760 and have a similar work issue where I have little or no reception depending on the alignment of the stars.
Please help us out
This can easily be done with mortscript. Simply move all messages in the drafts folder to the Outbox and they should send. You can also check signal strength before you do it. I am sure somebody is willing to whip something up.
wish they would!!
I am used to Nokia's features and with the bad reception i get in my office at home I am used to just hitting send then once i get a ray of light willing to carry a signal the msg gets sent, but on this diamond i gotta get up off my jacksie and go find a signal before hitting send. This is a major inconvienience as you can imagine.

Mobile Secretary is fine for sending Automated responses to missed calls. But is there a way to include the "resending" feature in WM 6 ?
Hi everyone,
I have searched exhaustively on this forum and via google but cannot find a solution anywhere.
Certain emails that I send via Pocket Outlook are only partially being sent. (longer emails)
Its not an SMTP issue because I have tried 3 different SMTP servers and the same thing is happening.
What is very strange is that the entire messages shows up in the sent folder but when someone else receives it only a paragraph shows up. (I have also sent them to one of my emails to test and they are partially showing up). But what is even odder is that its not with all messages, some are being received fine.
I thought that it could be some kind of font issue but that didn't work.
If someone has any ideas I would be grateful as I use the phone for business and my customers are not receiving full emails so its a big problem for me. Also just to add I am pretty sure this just started happening recently and I haven't changed any settings either.
Thanks again for your replies.

you have too many messages and need to delete them. This happened to me and slowed down my phone. I deleted them and it ran fine and I got no message after that. Also clear the browser cache
the problem is when i try to delete threads, it freezes again

I had 400 messages and it took me a good 5 minutes to delete them all... I probably clicked the wait button a good 5 to 10 times.
thanks, i'll try that but i got way more messages then 400 lol

I had 600 when I noticed the slow down... it took awhile to delete those since then I delete at about 400 or so
FWIW, it seems there might be a problem with the push on outgoing messages tonight
I am having a problem that when I get new SMS, it uses the "From" in the list of messages as an old (and deleted) thread all the time. I also can't reply to those SMS, but have to Compose a new message to respond. The only SMS that seems to work correctly are ones that I had received from contacts before I received the one SMS that it keeps using as the "From". So, in case it wasn't clear, all my new SMS show as coming from the same address (which happens to be an email address) and I can't reply to them. I'm sure a hard reset would fix this, but I don't want to have to go through reloading everything to just fix this one thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I am a little confused on what is happening. You are saying you are receiving a ton of messages from an email address? or that your sending sms from an email address?

Any new SMS I receive from a contact show up in the message list (main screen where the "New Message" option shows as well as your messages threads) as coming from this one specific email address I received a message from about a week ago. If I open up that message thread, it shows the SMS as coming from the correct person but if I try and reply to it, it gives me an error saying "Your message has no valid recipients", so I have compose a new SMS from the main screen and put the address in to be able to respond. Some how it is keeping that one address and assigning any new SMS to that name in the thread list as well as not using the right address for replying. It's really strange and it's bugging the heck out of me!

That sounds extremely weird. I would think a hard reset will fix the problem.

Call Cust service and tell them you need Tier 2 support for Smart/Blackberry. They can fix your texting issues

I am having the same problem. When I send a new sms or recieve one, the reply always goes to the first entry in my address book, which happens to be a land line, and I then have to create a new message to reply. I tried deleting all the old messages, and now all the messages have this same problem.
Is there any way to fix this without having to do a hard reset?
I had to get a new SIM card from T-Mobile to resolve my messaging problems. Guess it was a good time since I had the same one for 8 years now.
I had to get a new SIM card when I bought my G1, mine was only 5 years old ;-)
So that shouldnt be the issue for me.
Hello everybody!
I think this may be something with windows and not just with my phone (because I have had the same problem on my other windows phones as well)
But I keep getting repeated email notifications of new email, when I havnt gotten any new mail.
Now It is just my regular POP3 email through comcast, that it is checking.
So any ideas on how to resolve the issue? because it can be quite a nuisance through out the day.
Thanks for your help!
-El
p.s. let me know if I need to supply more information about my settings.
If you mark your new POP3 as read it should not notify you about it the next time it does a Send/Receive.
I needs to be marked as read or it will still think that you have a unread message.
Good afternoon everyone,
This is probably going to be a dumb question but here goes.
I am always sending text messages to my personal email address from my phone as either an SMS or sometimes as an MMS message as reminders for all sorts of things.
For instance, If I find an article of any kind that I want to read later I will copy the web address and send a text to my email address from the "Messages app" on my phone.
I have been doing this for years and have never ever had any issues up until about two weeks ago. Now sporadically and even sometimes all the time I will send a text to my email and immediately I get a separate text back saying the following
"(Undelivered Mail Returned To Sender) This is the mail system at host bbtpnj33wzwvetm-c-nk-x-00-vmg-00.localdomain.
I"
I can not for the life of me figure out what I keep getting these types of responses.
Has anyone ever encountered something like this and/or have any clue what the problem might be and how to fix it?
Currently, I am having this issue using my Note20 Ultra if that means anything.
Thank you so much in advance for any help!
