Pre: corrupt contact blocks send/receive of SMS?

Hi all.  Here's my issue - I had just had my wife add her Yahoo messenger info to the Messaging accounts on her Pre.  She already had a contact for me for receiving text messages, so I tried to link the (newly appeared) Yahoo account to my full contact.  Two unfortunate things happened:
1: I realized I was making the contact link the wrong way around (from Yahoo messenger profile to the full contact), so I removed the link (I thought) and re-made it from the full contact, opening the links screen there, then adding a link from the full contact to the Y! messenger profile.
2: I was doing this in a low-signal area.
What appears to have happened due to the combination of the two is that I can no longer send or receive a text message to the mobile number in my main, full contact!  I am not sure what to do about this - I tried deleting the full contact and remaking it, along with quite a few soft resents, but still no texts are able to go out to, or come in from, this number in particular.  Also, even after removing the Yahoo messenger profile, there is still a contact for my Yahoo identity, which apparently cannot be deleted (trying to use Menu > Delete Contact just causes the menu to hang with the Delete Contact choice highlighted).
I also tried sending an SMS from a different number and it worked fine.
I'm thinking that I might have created a corrupt contact when I did that rapid link, unlink, link again thing in a low-signal area, but I don't know.
Please help, anyone who can suggest anything!  I'm happy to send my contacts (if I can still do that) to anyone who could provide analysis and a corrective method.  Thanks!

I was able to reproduce the error.  Here are the steps:
1. I called a number and quickly hung up, just as you would do to log a number for saving later.
2. From the call log, I clicked on the SMS button to send a text message.
3. I sent a text message.
4. From the text message log, I clicked on the number at the top to save it to contacts.
5. I saved a new contact with the number.
6. I went back to the text message log card.  The text message log still had the number at the top, not the contact's name.  I think this is important.
7. I went to the summary view of the text message log (where it shows the message logs for all your contacts).  Again, the text message log for the test contact still showed a number and not the contact's name.
8. I deleted the complete message log for the test contact.
9. Finally, I went to the test contact and pressed the SMS button and nothing happens.
Please try this out on a test number and tell me if anyone else can reproduce the result. Try to delete the message log while it is still showing a number instead of the contact's name.  I will try it again and will wait for the message log to update with the contacts name.

    The best place to ask your question is at the JSMS website, forum or mailing list since this is no error that directly comes from a class belonging to the core Java classes.

  • Serious bug of IOS5, can't send receive call&SMS

    I have a iphone 4 and upgrade ios 5, after that i find some problem.
    1, switch off the Cellular data.
    2, send several MMS to my iphone. more than 3 MMS.
    3, do a location update, you can swith off the phone and then swith on again. or walk to some place without signal coverage and then come back.
    4, now the phone can't send or recevie call, also can't send and receive SMS, the phone has no error message.
    But if you switch on the Cellular data, after the iphone receive MMS, everything okay again.
    I think this is a serious bug of ios5, if i travel to other country, i will switch off the Cellular data, and my operater will send me MMS every day, if i reboot my phone, than i can't send or receive phone call. The most serious, if my friend call me, from his side, the ring is on, buy on my phone, there is no response of this phone call!!!

        Hi there, NewVerizonCustomer! So sorry to see that you're not able to send your messages. I'm eager to help! First, have you noticed that those contacts with failed messages tend to be the same contacts each time? If that's the case, do you know if those contacts are also iPhone users (doesn't matter which carrier)?

  • Factory unlocked iPhone 5 having problems sending/receiving sms

    Hello,
    I recently bought a factory unlocked iPhone 5 from the apple store in the US and I am unable to send/receive any sms/texts using my mobile provider B&YOU located in France.
    Can anyone help with ways to solve this issue?
    Thanks,

    Hello Sk8Dreams,
    Thanks for your questions and quick feedback. Yes I turned on SMS & MMS in my settings and yes my plan includes SMS & MMS. I tried something I saw in the forum concerning enabling the "show subject field" and for some strange reason, I am able to send messages after trying this. Seems strange, I am going to disable this "show subject field" and see if it will work or not. SMS should work regardless of if this option is active shouldn't it?
    Thanks

  • IPhone SDK, any way to send/receive a text SMS?

    I've been looking through the iPhone SDK for a way to send a SMS from my application. Also I'd like to inspect the SMS inbox for specfic messages that have been received. Has anyone been able to send/receive a SMS from their application?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    I think this is a limitation of the Beta SDK.
    I've read that there are many limitations in place for 3rd party-developed apps that are designed to maintain integrity of the OS but I can't see Apple being so Dickensian.
    Hopefully, much more will be unleashed with the full release of the SDK.

  • Mpi Send / Receive Comm Time with IO Streams

    I'm currently benchmarking Mpi like software on a cluster and I ran into a strange discrepency in communication time.
    For simplicity here, I'll be referring to simple synchronous send / receive commands in which 8 bytes of data are sent or received during each command.
    In a two compartment case, the compartments are connected via a Socket and the input/output streams are pulled from the socket. In the most simple case, compartment 1 sends a double value to compartment 2, and this repeats 1e6 times. In doing this the average communication time per send / receive operation is about 1 microsecond.
    In the next more complex case, compartment 1 sends a double value to compartment 2, then compartment 2 sends that double value back to compartment 1.
    This is where communication time increases to 10 microseconds (on the same Compute Node) or up to 100 microseconds (inbetween different Copute Nodes).
    At first I was doing the send and receive on the same socket using it's input and outputstreams. To make sure that wasn't a bottleneck, I separated the 2way communication into two different sockets, but that large communication time still existed. (No significant change).
    With one-way communication, even with the blocking send/receive methods, communication is still remarkebly fast (1 us). So what I'm trying to figure out is: why does this increase 100 times when doing a send & receive, then the reverse operation?

    Looks like low entropy could be the cause. Here are some useful links:

    How would I set up the server so that rngd feeds /dev/random with entropy from /dev/urandom, such that this modification sticks upon reboot (so I don't need to remember to execute some command line statement upon every reboot)?

    Hi
    There is no need to develope mobile application for
    sending SMS from the PC.
    n general, there are two ways to send SMS messages
    from a computer / PC to a mobile phone:
    Connect a mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem to a
    computer / PC. Then use the computer / PC and AT
    commands to instruct the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS
    modem to send SMS messages.
    Connect the computer / PC to the SMS center (SMSC) or
    SMS gateway of a wireless carrier or SMS service
    provider. Then send SMS messages using a protocol /
    interface supported by the SMSC or SMS gateway.I would like to know how do you set up the whole thing. What are AT commands and Where do i get thm and how do i use them. i am sorry for asking so many question but i am really interested in knowing this. I am doing my school project which requires me to send sms from my PC.
    Please help!!!!
    Thanks

  • I can't send SMS (from Greece) from my iPhone 4 to USA. I mean that i send it but they don't receive it and i don't receive their SMS. Please, could anybody help me?

    I can't send SMS (from Greece) with my iPhone 4 to USA. I mean that i send it but they don't receive it and i don't receive their SMS. Could please anybody help me?

    That's more likely to be a carrier issue than an iPhone issue. You should each contact your respective carriers.

  • I received a SMS from blocked number

    Hello,
    I received a SMS from a number that i blocked it before. I checked and the number is exact same.
    Note: I use iPhone 6 and iOS 8.1  After this case i checked my icloud settings and it was trying to connect icloud but giving timeout error. I restarted the phone and went to iCloud settings, it was ok. Does message/call blocking require active icloud connection?
    How can i report the case to Apple?
    Thanks.

    TThe number the text was sent from was some guy I didn't know...he didnt send the message? It was sent from someone that I was having a conversation with but it sent from this other guys number

  • Curve 8520 cannot send/receive calls or SMS when in range of WiFi - since foreign holiday

    Re-posting this in the Curve forum, where it belongs... hoping someone can help.
    Recently the whole family went to Spain for two weeks. All four of our phones (a Google Nexus 4, a BB Curve 9300 and two BBCurve 8520s) worked OK in Spain, connected to local mobile networks, sent and received texts and so on.
    Since returning to the UK, the BlackBerry handsets have all had problems getting re-registered to our home network (giffgaff, which uses the O2 network, as I understand it). The nexus has been fine from the moment we got back, but the BB handsets are not.
    The symptoms: when in range of a registered WiFi connection, the phones cannot send or receive texts (SMS) or make or receive calls, when out of range of WiFi, they do (sometimes) succeed. It is as though the WiFi settings are over-ruling the service books / HRT for the mobile network.
    The 9300 seems to have sorted itself out, thanks (possibly) to an OS upgrade. The 8520s remain basically useless.
    We have tried: battery pulls, SIM pulls, manual network registration, clearing the service books and re-registering, switching SIM cards between the phones (whichever SIM is in the 9300 works OK, whichever SIM is in the 8520 does not work), OS upgrade.
    The network shows on the handset screen, and connection is shown as EDGE. But calls do not get connected and SMS messages fail with "too many retries". Attempts to re-register the handset result in a message being received that the handset has been registered but it makes no difference.
    The network provider (giffgaff) say they have done everything they can, and I should speak to "an engineer" - but it seems very unlikely to me that all three phones suffered a hardware fault while flying home from Spain, and that the 9300 somehow fixed itself. So I'm convinced it is a registration issue, but giffgaff are not exactly confident in their support for BB.
    So - has anyone ever seen this behaviour before, and how can we fix it?
    Thanks

    Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

    To my knowledge, I've only seen this for imessage only and not SMS.
    The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone.

  • Problem sending/ receiveing SMS on a particular port in an intercarrier n/w

    I am using JSR 120 to send & receive SMS on a particular port. This works perfectly between 2 devices using the same carrier.
    if I try sending & receive inter-carrier SMS, like from T-Mobile device to Cingular device (or vice-versa), my j2me app does not receive any SMS on the port it is listening to.
    When the SMS with a port is sent from my app, I get the prompt for permission to send. On pressing OK, the SMS is sent. On the receiving side, the device on the another carrier network receives the SMS in the default inbox, & not by my app.
    I am not sure if this is a inter-carrier SMSC issue or something to do with my app.
    Pl help.

    Has anyone come across the above mentioned problem? Pl let me know if there is any solution.
    Question simply put : When a j2me sms midlet sends an sms on a unique port to another j2me sms midlet listening on the same port, but served by a different carrier (cellular operator), why does the sms go to device inbox & not to my midlet?
    Thank you
