Hi all,
I am using the stock HTC messaging app.
I am able to send normal text messages (that I type myself) and they work perfectly.
However, I am unable to share things by SMS to my friends who also have Android phones.
For example, I wanted to share an app with a friend. I went to the App Sharing application, selected the app, then selected to share by text message. In the message itself, there is some text and a market link to the app. After I hit send, I end up getting multiple repeated error messages "Message could not be sent. Retrying.." or something like that. And my phone continually beeps annoyingly until I go to "Unsent Messages" and delete the message.
This also happens when I try to share a location from google maps.
Is there a way to fix this? Is it a problem with my carrier not supporting certain types of messages? Is Android embedding some data in the messages (other than plan text) which might be causing the issue?
I had a similar issue with some advertising messages sent from my cell phone provider. Because I have an unlocked, unbranded phone, they told me I would need to install their software to be able to receive those messages correctly. Instead, I told them to shove it and stop sending me spam!
However, now I'm wondering if this might be the same issue.
