I am very new to Android coming from Palm Pre and I purchased Droid Pro and activated it with Page Plus everything seems to work fine except I can't receive or can't send any plain text messages any kind. I haven't been able to receive or send any ever since I got this activated. I have tried everything I could.
I did activation multiple times and still no luck! I am very frustrated at this point and don't know what to do. I really love this phone and it works great including web data, calls but the stupid text messages will not work at all.
As soon as I send a text message I get an instant error message saying text message not sent and it does that for every message. This is just driving me insane since I text more than I talk.
I am getting close to my last resort is the reset this phone to factory which I don't know how to do. My brother uses Droid 2 Global and Fascinate on Page Plus Wireless with no problems. I tried calling multiple sources and no one is willing to help me.
Please help me if you can.
Anybody here know what I can do? I am so frustrated. I know I am missing text messages right now. I hate to go back to Palm... and this is the only Android phone from Verizon that I like so far. I love the keyboard but without being able to send or receive text messages this thing would be worthless for me. I text more than I talk.
This are just random guesses, but i thought i would try:
- wrong sms format (UTF-8?)
- wrong number/address for sms central in settings?
Fixed!!!
After days of fighting with it I got it figured out by process of elimination. For Page Plus Wireless under "Wireless & Network Settings" > "Mobile Networks" > "Network Mode" - needs to be set to "GLOBAL" and not "CDMA" like I thought and after this all my text messages are working properly.
This may be useful to someone later on.
Now if I can get rid of all the bloatware that this Droid Pro came with without rooting I would be very excited. I love this phone so far even though I am missing the true multi-tasking but I am sure I will get used to. I am already getting used to Android and it's only been a few days
Root it and change build.prop
change in system/build.prop
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0
This will solve sms problems

I was wondering if there was a way to send a text/sms message from the wifi xoom through your phone. My hope was that there was an application that you would download on your android phone as well as your xoom and sync them together. Then your phone would forward text messages to your xoom when it received them. Also, once received on the xoom, you could respond. The xoom would then send the text message back to your phone, which would send the message.
I've looked and looked, but couldn't find anything event remotely close to this. Does something like this exist, or am I SOL? I've seen other programs that give you a new number, a screen name, or whatever the case may be, but I want to use my own phone number so that people I text to will know it's me.
Thanks,
Brds

+1 works very well. I recommend buying once it is available in the market.
Hi guys:
I already searched for this in Google and what not, and I have tried some, but with no luck. Here's my situation:
I own an Unlocked Nokia X2-01 with a T-mobile SIM Card working. (I'm not prepaid, just with a expired contract).
I receive calls and make them nicely. I'm able to receive text messages and send, but, for some reason I can't make work the MMS messages since I can't receive them.
I tested already the proposed settings here, but I can't make them work since those are for other devices, not a Nokia X2-01.
How do I make MMS settings work with my device so I can receive mms?
If someone wants to drop a hint, thanks very much in advance! And sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks!
Thanks anyway.
Still waiting for someone to share a hint. I already tried some configurations but they didn't work for me since those are for other devices.
Thanks in advance and i'll keep waiting. Thanks guys!
*BUMP THIS UP*
Anyone can share a hint? Thanks guys!
Got something working, partially...
Ok! Here's the thing. I've done more search and I've found a partial fix for the mms settings. I'll share the fix for the benefit of everyone.
I was a couple of days ago inside the t-mobile website. And I didnt notice a help section they have for "non-tmobile devices" (see the attached PDF file for specific details). I found this only thru their search option.
So, I took the phone. I went to the menu->settings->configuration->personal settings. And there I created an access point and a multimedia msg. settings with those tmobile provide in their site.
Inside access point I inserted the wap.voicestream.com address inside of the packet data access pt. option.
Then, I inserted the mms server address inside the multimedia messages personal setting.
Now, I activated both in my phone and I'm now able to receive picture messages. And, I just said picture messages. Now I have the problem of sending mms messages. When I try to send an mms for example, to an android phone of some relative they only see a little triangle with an exclamation mark in it. Just that, no photo.
There's where im at right now figuring out the sending of mms. If I make that work i'll post results. If anyone wants to drop a hint on sending mms, configuration, etc. Please do.
Thanks and i'll check back later.
I have tried changing various settings with no success. I have tried contacting my network provider and they seem to be baffled by the whole thing. I can receive text messages from the particular Iphone but I cant reply to them. It is my partners Iphone so I am able to see if the texts come through. Please help someone who knows anything about this? It's becoming a bug bare for me.
Kind regards
As the title states. I am using the settings that where sent to the phone and when I try to send a txt it pops up a box telling me when there is an internet connection it will send it but it never sends. The internet on the phone works just fine, can browse all day. PLS HELP, I have 60 days to return the phone and if I cant send or receive txt or mms then its no use to me. The soon I get it figured out the better. Can anyone share their APN Settings for T-Mobile..
FIXED.. NOT!!!! Thought i had it fixed.... anyone use this on T-Mobile need help PLS..
