I have a small but very annoying issue sending texts sometimes...
Basically my office has an intermittent signal so occasionally my connectivity drops. If this happens while I'm trying to send a text the message just sits there with the 'processing' animation (the spinning circle thingy) going constantly - it rarely times out and outright fails, usually just continually tries even when I'm back into a good signal area (I've even left it in a good signal area and checked hours later to find it still trying!).
I've tried going in and out of airplane mode or even turning the phone off and on to try to get it to just fail so I can send again but nothing makes it give up or succeeed.
When it gets into this state the only way out seems to be to delete the message and enter it again.
Am I missing something obvious?
(for info I'm using Handcent, but checking in native message service shows similar effect so don't think thats related)
Cheers
Dave
