In the last week i have tried 3 different ROMS - First Muns Full, then BEPE's and now PDAVIET's latest ROM, and i keeping getting this message when I try to send an SMS "The phone is not ready - please wait 15 seconds". I am using the radio ROM 1.46.30.11 which i updated about a month ago.

It only started happening last week - i have tried cleaning the sim card etc - which works fine in other phones.

Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this? I have searched and havent found any real solutions.

Thanks

Try going to settings/personal/phone/band and set network type to GSM. That fixed SMS send problems for me. However, you will lose the ability to connect to 3G. I haven't figured out how to get both working, but use SMS more than 3G.

Thanks - that worked. But yeh, losing the 3G option is a problem. One thing i have noticed is that when the HTC home plug has "home" displayed as the network it causes that problem, but when it is displaying the actual network operator name it works fine.

This is still happening now 3 months later- i have tried differnet ROMs, radio's and now nothing works - even different sim cards. To compound this, the problems i am now having with my Parrot 3200 car kit (tried everything as well) and constant disconnections has made this phone almost useless to me, and i am now going to sell it and go back to Nokia phones.

thanks everyone for all their helpful advice.

Cheers

Have you tried the official Dopod D810 ROM? I've had no problems with it.
