Can't stop OZMAIL Text Messages

I'm having a problem. I'm constantly getting text messages from Ozmail everytime I get an email message from my Hotmail account. I did a hard reset and upgraded my ROM to the latest version and don't even have email setup on my phone yet. I was looking at other message boards by doing a search on Google and found other people have the same issue. It seems to be with both Verizon and AT&T. The solution I found was to disable your PDA and enable your old phone and go to Get It Now and remove the VZ Mobile Email application and then disable your old phone again and activate your PDA again. I called Verizon to do this and I still have the same problem. It didn't seem to work for me. I've been calling Verzion for months about this problem and they keep saying they will check into it and get back to me and I never hear back from anyone. It's really starting to drive me crazy. Sometimes it happens all day long and sometimes it won't happen for weeks. It's totally intermittant. Please let me know if anybody has a solution. Thanks!

Disable SMS notification in Hotmail settings
You are getting these text messages by enabling the option in your hotmail settings. in addition, you may be paying for them.

Well, I don't remember ever setting it to do that, but I disabled the feature. I'll see what happens. I don't understand why it's coming from Ozmail though. Ozmail is the software that Verizon installs on your Cell Phone via Get It Now, or the downloadable .cab file on the PDAs. You are saying Hotmail is using Ozmail? I'm confused. What do you mean I might be paying for them? Paying for what? I have unlimited text and picture messaging. You are saying the Hotmail is billing you for that service?

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.

[Resolved] Block mail settings - if I lose my phone

I just wonder if there is a way of blocking/preventing other people with different sim-cards to access my mail that I configured on my phone?
Example:
I configure my mail on my phone with all settings like username and password. Then I accidently lose my mobile and someone finds it. But this guy who finds it want to use it for bad things. He can't get my PIN password so he puts his SIM-card into my mobile. Therefore he can access my mobile and go into my mail that's already been set up. So now he can read everything in my mail and even send mails from the phone.
How do I prevent this?

Change the password on your e-mail account if you know that your phone is lost. He cannot see it or change it from the device, so once you change it, he will not be able to access it anymore. Also, you can set a personal password lock, which is independent from the SIM card. Finally, there are a couple of apps that can do certain things if your device is lost/stolen. They are in the D&H section.

Thanks But I tried to whatch my received mails with my sisters SIM-card, and it worked :S so if I lose my phone... the person can read the mails that I've received... and that's not good. Do you have any solution?
Btw, I'll check the D&H section!

Mostly everything you can use will depend on whether the device is connected to the internet, which might not be the case depending on the knowledge of the thief. You could probably add an app for tracking in case the phone is lost or stolen though (if your device is GPS capable, that is).

One more thing..
When I want to receive my latest mails - like the one I've received within three days ago. I go to my inbox and select receive/send. But what it does is that it recieves every single mail I got in my "real" inbox. And that's not what I want. I want it to just dwnld the newest messages. Because if this works... I can manually delete my messages in my mobile Inbox, so it doesn't store the mails to long. Because if I lose my phone, the theif will only have accsess to around 5mails

I think that there is either a setting or an app to automatically purge the saved e-mail if they are in the device for +3 days or so. I will look into it.

Thanks, but do you know what's the problem is with that I get all my messages from my inbox when I press "receive/send" in my mobile inbox? Because I've set the setting to just get the mails from 3days..

just a thought, to prevent that you could just put a password on your phone? So the person who takes it cant access your phone let alone the mail etc.

just wanted to see if someone know the answers

I am not sure whether I really understand you but as suggested previously why don’t you use “Auto lock” with a password.(settings--->Lock..)
You can set after how many minutes or hours the device will be locked. After that time run up you need to input your password in order to able to use or see anything on your device

Hmm, it's more like an app that does the following:
Locks the phone (require a password) when turning on the phone. In that way, it doesn't matter if you have an extra SIM-card, because you can't access the phone. And then it's just a hard-reset that will restore the phone, but then my problem is solved - all my private files etc is gone with the wind

exactly! Even better if you use Microsoft exchange server mail then you don’t need to wait until the guy make hard reset you just simply remotely wipe your device

Use the lock function so go to start/settings and look for lock. Choose either 4 digit or more complex and set lock time as you wish. - i dont really knwo what more you would want because even if u switched sim, you would still have to crack the lock code.

Haha, so it was that simple ^^
Sometimes easy settings seems to be complicated but thanks for your replies
But the question about my email still remain :/
When I press "send/receive" my phone downloads every single mail. But when I go to Inbox-Tools-Options-My Account-Edit Account Setup I've already set the "download message" to from the past 3 days. What's the problem?

No probs, easiest solutions are always the best ones
mm not sure why that is doin that, setting the period should only download the relevant days...... what email provider u using? pop3? gmail? all work fine with me and i use exchange too.
If you cant sus it out, i would delete your email account, soft resest and set it up again.

mm that is strange, with those setting you should not be getting older mail?
Might sound odd, but have you tried a different setting, so like 1 week, or 1 day mail, save it and soft reset?
If not i will have a dig around.

somehow it seems to work now :S so I just hope it remains like that

This is your browser, meaning bookmarks and probably search history. If you're signed into Google Chrome, your bookmarks should sync. I think. I could be off on this, but "Internet" is definitely the browser.

thanks for your response, now at least i have an idea of what it is.

Messaging App

Can someone please tell me step by step how the heck one does a group chat on this phone??

Well, you need to open the app > tap on three dots in the upper right > settings > advanced > group messaging > click the toggle for "Send an MMS reply to all recipients (group MMS)"
Then when one person replies to your original message everyone you sent it to will also get the reply. [[Remember though to turn this off if you do not want everyone to see all the replies because this can load up everyone's texts with numerous replies.]]
Then just add as many contacts as you want/need to the message you are creating and then send it.

Hi Thanks for getting back to me. I tried looking for the three dots but I don't have them when I open the messaging app directly.
I'm on OREO by the way. When I go to Messenger on the App info setting I see the three dots but when I hit it all I get is Uninstall updates.

I just went to settings, Network & Internet then internet settings DL settings for internet and MMS message says "Your device will now connect to the intenet for quick setup of internet and MMS services
I accept I see that something is DL but I can't find it. Where the heck is the DL folder. Is it asking me to set this feature up??

Ok so now it says set up complete. Now what??

O so I just restarted the phone. I now have the three dots but under advanced I don't see a group messaging tab

Still don't get it!

Hey Jaseman Please bear with me I'm coming from a Galaxy Note 3. When I go to my message app it does allow me to start a group conversation. When I pick my contacts for the message I want to send it does this but then it say where the message wil go " Each recipient will get an SMS message from you. Replies will appear in individual conversations"
That's not what I'm after. I want to send a group message with all contacts being able to see what everyone in the group is responding. Is this still possible??

I was on the phone with T-Mobile and they were dumbfounded as well. Per them All my APN settings are in order. They actually brought up the specs to this phone to see if they were missing something. They mentioned that most folks are using Textra because they can't get the messaging app to work via MMS. When I try to send a text or picture to a group the MMS arrow appears and when I press it states
" go to settings and change your group messaging setting to group MMS" Yes I know this but I do not have group MMS . T-Mobile sent me to Sony Support and they couldn't figure out why I don't have the MMS Group under advanced either and recommended I reset the phone. Look I just installed a bunch of apps and transferred over my music and books from my note 3 so I am not in the mood to reset the phone yet again. I actually got the TEXTRA app and it seems to be working just fine so I disabled the messaging app. I just need to know if it's the APP or my phone.

Well, that is certainly strange! I used Textra for a long time and it does work great. I just like to use the default apps when I can if they do what I need and the default messaging app does do everything I need.
Here is a screenshot of what mine looks like...
Sorry I was not able to help...well actually what I said was correct but I have no idea why this feature would be missing from your phone???
So when you look at the screenshot I have attached here...yours does not look like this?
I also use T-Mobile. So all of your network settings are correct?
Let's make sure...
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > tap on "Internet Settings" and a popup for Internet Settings says..."Your device will now connect to the internet for quick setup of internet and MMS services" and you tap on ACCEPT.
Then you should see a brief message saying "Download Started".
Then back on the original screen, up above Internet Settings is "Mobile network" and it says T-Mobile???
Tap on T-Mobile and at the bottom of the next window is "Service providers"...tap on this and you can choose either "Search networks", or "Automatic". If you choose Automatic you should get the message that you have been registered on the network. If you choose Search Networks it will disable your data temporarily and take a few minutes to find the network. Then you will have several choices under Available Networks and you should choose the top one 4G T-Mobile...there should be a check mark next to it. If you tap it it will say registered on network.
Now after doing all of this check your default messaging app to see if it has the same thing as my screen shot...if not...then I guess you can just stick with Textra.

Followed your instructions and after tapping Available Networks T-Mobile LTE has the checkbox. Should it be T-Mobile 4G??

Daisy192, I had the same problem when I first got my XZ Premium. The pre-installed messaging app did not include Group Messaging in the settings just like you described. I don't know why to this day. In fact, I started a thread here about it when I first got the device.
I ended up installing other SMS/MMS apps from the Play Store to get by. None of them met my needs perfectly.
Then at some point, the setting appeared when I randomly checked. I don't know what caused it to appear there but since appearing it hasn't left.
There have been a number of "Carrier Services" updates from the Play Store that I've installed over time. The description of these updates is along the lines of improved carrier features when using the stock messaging app. So maybe that's what eventually enabled the Group MMS feature.
BTW, I'm on AT&T in the USA.

LTE is fine.
I happen to have the Customized UK version. I purchased it from the UK so that the fingerprint scanner would work without having to flash anything.
I figured that the UK speaks English the same as we do here in the US and that this would make all the features work without having to do risky stuff.
Now the US version...which I believe is what you have...should say LTE, whereas the UK version says 4G...they are exactly the same thing!
Also, the US version I believe has 5 signal bars in the notification area whereas the UK version only has 4.
The number of bars is irrelevant because the OEM's can manipulate them to look great in a bad signal area thereby deceiving the end user.
The real test is what your dBm signal strength is at any given time.
Anyway, I see you got a response from someone who also had this issue and it magically fixed itself...hmmm.
Maybe after some more updates from the Play Store over time it will do the same for you. You can always check now and then.
Until it does fix itself I guess you can continue to use Textra. You will get used to it and going back to the default messaging app may be too hard to handle anyway.

Yeah seems to be a real conundrum!
Jaden and my phone is the international dual Sim version. I wanted a working fingerprint scanner too.
I will continue to check to see if it mysteriously pops up

Hey Experts today I'm going to bite the bullet and reset my phone with the Xperia Companion. Besides the main issue of not having the MMS Group setting on my Messaging APP, I am having an issue sending video to a group even though I'm using the Textra app. I am able to attached a GiF, Photo or anything else but video will not send. Yesterday I used Movie creator for the first time and created a short 19 second video compiled of a few photos. I hit share and chose the Textra app and it proceeded to send the video but then I kept getting notification that it was unable to send. After trying several times I decided to enable the Default Messages App to see if it would send video to just one person and nothing. All I got was a message that it was 'SENDING" When I awoke this morning it was still "Sending". I have my brand new Canon SL2 set up to work via Wi-Fi with my XZ Premium. I can take video and pictures, edit and do just about anything without touching the camera but I was also unable to share the one video I shot with the Textra App. Am I doing something wrong? Will The Companion fix these issues?? Is there a limit to how long a video can be when using either Textra or The Message App. Is it my Carrier T-Mobile issue?? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciate.

There is a limit on the size of the file you can send over MMS and it is rather small compared to the average video file.

Hey jaseman yes was able to finally figure it out. Reset with Xperia companion went smoothly but still no sign of mms group under advance settings. I was able to tweak settings in text rather app to 100 and legacy this allows me to send video via mms
