SMS Delivery Notification.

[sixstringsg]

This isn't a much used feature so I doubt many people catch it, but maybe someone will have an answer. I like using the Delivery Confirmation for SMS that android has built into the Messaging app. Now the problem: When I have it set to request a notification, in the stock messaging app, it always says "pending" whereas in GoSMS it behaves correctly and either confirms/denys. I know I could just use Go, but I would prefer the stock app work correctly. I am on the most current ICS ROM by Koush, but there has been this issue as far as I can remember, on stock ROM's, CM7, and even on the Galaxy S's. Any ideas?

Forgive me if I have misunderstood but this is how delivery reports work on stock 2.3.6:
It says pending after the message has been sent but not received, and then shows a received icon (and says received if you check the report) once it has been received by the recipient.

Isn't this happening on your device?

That is how it should work, correct. The stock messaging app never shows anything other than pending, where as GOsms tells me (on the same text message) that it has been received. I am also sure that it is received when go says it is, because people reply.

Well I'd wipe the data for the stock sms app and go from there.
Probably rom specific but I guess it could be to do with your carrier...

It can't be my carrier, because go works. It also can't be my ROM, because it has been persistent across ROMs and devices. I have done many full wipes in the past week, thus clearing all messaging data, and it has not fixed the issue.

Well I don't know much about sms protocols but if it has happened across multiple devices (assuming you stayed on the same carrier) it could be possible that your carriers delivery reports have a compatibility issue with the stock app but not with go sms.

I am of course just hypothesising .
