SMS "stuck" in outbox - Windows mobile 6.1

[Davebrown135]

Hi, :confused:
Today I found an SMS message stuck in the outbox on my "HTC touch pro", (O2 network).
The message was resending itself regularly, (upsetting the recipient obviously).
I was unable to just delete the message from the outbox and found that it only dissappeared after deleting it from the deleted items folder.
Is this a common problem - has anyone found a way of stopping this happening.
I've only been using this phone for about 1 month but this has not happened previously.
:confused:
Thanks in advance,
Dave.

Never seen this before. Are you using the stock ROM?

[Davebrown135]

Yep- everything as purchased.
No tweaks or upgrades.

Strange problem.
What (precise) ROM & WWE version does your touch pro run?

Does it show multiple copies of the same textmessage in "sent items"?
did the message contain other than simple text?
Like #34 or #*34 and alike sort of formating (34 used as example for any range of numbers)

What I could think of is that the cell provider or phone has some kind of error in which the text sending wasn't completed eg. the cell tower didn't send/ the phone didn't receive the propper "message sent" signal, and the phone simply resend the message.

Did it happen with only one receipient?

Hi,

ROM version is 1.90.206.4 WWE
Text msg was straight forward text - no numbers/characters.
Error only occured to one recipient.
Only one copy of the msg was held in the outbox.

Cheers

I would say it was a fluke, never heard of this before, and I really think it has to do with cell<->phone communication.
Keep us posted if it happens again.

Hi,

I've got exectly the same problem, however the thing I discovered is that my text messages stay in the outbox when I have the regulare GSM netwerkcoverage, as soon as I've got 3G or HSPDA receive they are being transferred, my textmessage settings however say they have to be transfered by GSM.

I've got a SE X1 on stock WINMO 6.1 build 19608.1.2.60

Nobody formiliare with this problem? (excue me for my bad English)

[RTM Please]

Me too. Can't edit the message, can't delete it, can't move it. Keeps sending to the same recipient everytime I open messaging. I've pulled the battery, no change

WM 6.1 pro
CE OS 5.2.19214 Build 19214.1.0.4

ATT tilt (HTC 8925)

Bad form to reply to my own message, but found a tolerable fix

I did a MENU TOOLS Clear Messages

And the second time it got rid of it.

First time hung for several minutes, second time that was the only message left to delete.

This happened to me too today, I was chatting with a friend and she was like why the hell do you keep sending the same message over and over again.

I restarted the phone and no change then I looked in the outbox it is there cant delete cant edit cant move.

However the message is in the deleted items too.

if its not just click delete in the outbox then go to the deleted items and click delete from there it will be gone.

The message somehow links it to both folders like a shadow copy.

Simply that process fixed it.

PS : I was using Wm 6.5 and threaded texting.

Yeah mine are just sitting in Outbox too. I can reply to a message without an issue but when I compose a new message it just goes to the outbox and there isn't a way to send it. Just simple text so no clue why. Any advice?:confused:
