How do you resend a failed text message?

[Guest mechismo]

On my old Nokia when a text msg failed to send I cld just hit the resend button until it went - how do you resend em on the SPV?

Yeah, noticed this the other day, it's a pain. A failed MMS is written to the drafts folder and can be resent from there. A failed SMS just seems to vanish which can be very annoying.

A failed SMS goes to the 'Sent' folder anyway no?

Yes, and what a pain in the arse it is to delete all the message header :evil: cos the only way to resend it is to "Forward" it.

Indeed! :)

At least with the update you can delete all the rubbish it puts in much much faster - I have tried to imagine the F*CK*RS that designed the OS - you must have either had no phone in ur life before or had a shitty Qualcom/DCC stuff that is useless with min. features to put together such a phonebasedfeature lacking OS. No msg counter. No f****g easy resend - what it costs to include a hyperlink in an error msg to resend or if you do a multicontact sms - how do you know which one failed?? I dunno - 1 out of 10 failed... Resend to all coz it shows NOT which one failed. Ok. How about this one - the error stays on screen only for a few secs (well as set by you in sett., but 5sec default) - and then your next chance to discover that THAT ALL IMPORTANT SMS is still in your Sendbox?? only when you open Inbox next time...... SH*T

Paul, can you not kinda HINT(!) MS people where the points are at which their s*** hits the fan and makes us all upset?? Can they not release a char. counter as a 100kb update or something?? Is it hard to include a [who's message cannot be delivered]? Surely, being an MVP in SPV/MobileDevices area you can point out or even 'force' them into doing things (i know what u thinkin - not that!) - get on it!!

My appologies for foul language.

I completely agree with Madukranian. These aren't bonus features or suggestions to push the hardware to its limits that we're asking for, these are absolutely fundamental staple requirements of normal phones these days. I can't believe the SMS counter still hasn't been addressed in the Danish update, it would take what, a couple of minutes to program?

I'm personally not too fussed about the SMS counter. The failed SMS send is a pain tho... On my previous phones if it failed it would just drop you back into the SMS editor so you could click send again. This was great when you were in low reception areas you could walk around pressing send until it went...

Yep! I'm strangely grumpy today.. Who knows why? Or maybe coz I was ill tue-thu (and still am, seems like flu) but had to go to work today, yes it is friday... I may take back my French when I get out of the mood, but my point is as solid as hmmm monolithix? :)

Chill man!

I'm sure all the things you ask for will be along at some point in the future... :)

Blooming right.

My last phone was a Samsung A300. I thought that was buggy. Tonight in the pub one of my mates produced a vintage Ericsson (his phone is nackard) that he'd put his SIM card into temporarily until his replacement arrives - coincidentally the same model as the first phone I ever owned, as a skint student a few years back. Both the Samsung and the antique Ericsson could deal with a text message failing and having to be resent. In fact, the SPV is the first handset I've had that falls over like a sack of sh*t under these circumstances. It's shocking.

Progress or wot?
