Apps Why do I get

Hi All,

I am working on android project where I need to send SMS. My app collects required information by consuming a web service and this information is very short and pure text. This information is then sent in the form of SMS.

I have used broadcast receiver that will keep track of whether SMS is sent successfully or not and simply add a log entry. I have used SmsManager to send SMS.


My device is having very good WiFi strength and good GPRS network. While sending SMS, I have found that broadcast receiver inserts log entries, some for "Successful" and some for "Generic Failure".


Why few SMS fail because of "Generic Failure"? What is the reason behind this?


I have googled and found that some people are saying to turn OFF WiFi. But for consuming web service I need WiFi ON.


Can anyone give some insight on this? Is there any solution for this problem?


Any help will be greatly appreciated!


Thanks!
