hello all, this is my first post on your forum, i'd like to ask if there's a way to prevent delivery reports to SMS's from being sent when i receive SMS's. I use Call SMS blocker but when i set it to block incoming SMS's the delivery report is sent, so the sender actually knows that his SMS reached its destination. I would really like to able to receive SMS's without sending delivery reports, but i don't know if it can be achieved. I have the v1640.
Delivery Reports like this are controlled and sent by your telecoms provider, not your device.
When you send an SMS, your device informs you that it has been sent to the network...if necessary, the SMS is transferred to the end users home network and when the SMS is sent from the network to the end users device a delivery report is then sent back to your device (if delivery report was requested in the SMS)
You cant stop it
yes i am already aware of that, but i was wandering if somehow i managed to intervene with the reception of SMS's and fool the network into believing that the SMS has not been delivered to me, like when the phone is off for example. There must be some kind of talking between the network and the phone regarding the reception of SMS's.
The network sends the delivery notification when it sends the SMS to your phone, and it send the SMS to your phone when your phone is visible.
The only way you can stop these notifications is to turn your phone off - you cant intervene with the network provider, they wont let you and yyou cant change the standards set for SMS
The other thing is, if you managed to somehow stop the network being told you had received the SMS, presumably, it would just keep trying to send it to you.
Ouch!
There is always a way
After receiving an SMS message, the recipient mobile phone will send back a message delivery report to the SMS center to inform whether there are any errors or failures (example causes: unsupported SMS message format, not enough storage space, etc). This process is transparent to the mobile user. If there is no error or failure, the recipient mobile phone sends back a positive delivery report to the SMS center. Otherwise it sends back a negative delivery report to the SMS center.
If the sender requested a status report earlier, the SMS center sends a status report to the sender when it receives the message delivery report from the recipient.
Once your phone receives the SMS, you can decide whether to block it. In case you wanna block it, the application has to simply send a Storage full / Message format not supported Error to the message station instead of normal status.

i tried googling.... but can't find such s/w... can u pls help me wid dat.....
Guys,
To the best of my knowledge you'd need to know the exact SMASI interface being used by the operator and then find a public API to be able to call it.
I've done it on a server level in Perl, but not on a device level.
Has there been any progress here?

Hello guys,
9yrs since the question first appeared. Has anyone had any success on this?
I have removed SMS app by rooting my android mobile. I tried to send SMS to that device and guess what? Of course, I did not received any SMS because I had removed SMS app completely by rooting but at the same time my second phone from which I had sent SMS received "delivered" report !!! How come?

Hi, i believe that the messages app isn't responsible for the delivery reports process. It is only responsible for showing the sms and sending. I have a messages service app in my phone so i think it is the one responsible for that, or there is another reason. For now I'm still searching and i will try some tinkering in my phone until i achieve a result and the I'll post it on XDA
Hi,
In some countries, if you send sms to landline phone via cellphone, you will receive delivery report!

So sending a failure delivery report to the SMS center will also send a failure delivery report to the recipient mobile phone? This would not be a complete solution to prevent delivery report but a way to prevent a successful delivery report. The sender could still track if the device is connected to the network.
If I remember correctly, I noticed that when some mobile network operators are overwhelmed with SMS, for example at the time of New Year's Eve in France, SMS can be received (sometimes delayed) but no delivery report is sent.
Also, if someone sends an SMS to a mobile phone that is powered off or in flight mode for several days, the SMS may never be delivered. I had this kind of issue with Lycamobile Germany and sometimes the SMS was delayed for several hours if the mobile phone was just powered off or in flight mode for a few minutes while the SMS was sent.
No there must be some way for real for example u can receive calls while it says your phone is shut down to the caller so if that can be done this can be also.
I am also looking for the same since long.....

Does any have this problem.
I sent an SMS to a friend in my contacts. He said he never received it. And now I just received a phone call from someone who did receive it. He told me he keep getting them and wants it to stop.
So is there an issue with the SMS sender on this XDA. Most of my SMS go through no problem.
Your thoughts?
is this only sms messeges or does it happen if you call the contact aswell ?
No, just SMS.
Also I receive SMS from an estate agent for houses, which I have subscribed to, but the name of the sender is someone else from my contacts. Do you think the software needs updating.
well i had issues like that but it turned out that i was my mistake
when i typed in the contacts
if you can see both the contact name and the phone nr and see in your contacts that there are nowhere where you can see any connection between the two then maybe i've never heard about it before
also make sure you have choosen your country in localizing in settings
Hello,
I like delivery reports because I like to know my SMS has been received, however I don't like constantly having to delete them when a message has been sent.
Does anyone know of a program that can record a copy of each text message as it's sent, then when the appropriate delivery receipt is received, delete the message from the list and delete the delivery report, so the list only contains undelivered messages and I you can turn delivery receipts off and not have to worry about deleting them?
Hope I've explained that well!
Cheers.
I'd like this too... delivery reports are nice, but having to delete every single one manually is a pain in the ass.
this is a great idea
Yeah, I liked reports but got bored of deleting them everytime so i disabled it..
The only phone I know of, where this has been really solved was the SonyEricsson T68i. There you had a "broken letter/mail"-symbol in front of the SMS and if it got delivered, the icon became a complete "letter" or a "letter with an X" if the delivery failed. You could check the delivery status via a contextmenu while reading the SMS.
But I didn't see such implementation in any other phones...

Dear Friends,
I'm using a HTC Gene. I have a problem when i send multiple sms.
My service provider is Airtel - India.
The problem is that when i send multiple messages, after two or three sms
has been sent,the phone radio reboots itself. During this time, the messages
in the outbox, get failed to send and goes to the drafts folder. After the
phone radio is back up, i have to transfer the items in the drafts folder to the
outbox folder.
Whenever an sms is sent, i get a flash message(or service message) which
pops up from the taskbar that shows the last call cost and my remaining
credit.
According to my experiment i'm sure that this flash message is the one that
makes the problem, coz everytime one sms is sent, a flash sms is received
which uses the sms module. At the same time, the sms module is used to
send the next sms, so making a conflict and thus the phone restarts.
So the tweak that needs to be done is to increase the delay between
sending subsequent messages.
Could anyone please guide me where this delay can be extended.?
Thank You...

Hi all! I have a question about the SMS delivery notifications in Blackstone. Is there a way to get a sms status report on already sent SMS?
Long time before the Blackstone I had another WinMo pda and it has a menu option on each of the messages to check if the selected message is delivered okay. And that doesn't look up at the local history, but makes a new "delivery request".
So, is there a way to use similar functionality on Blackstone?
Thanks.
doubt it the status report is something the device request your phone company when the sms is send doubt any of them offer a service for old sms
If i remember correctly, that service was available about a couple of days after the sms was sent.
Hi All,
I wanted to enable sms delivery reports but couldn't find it under messages settings. I have tried multiple sms programs where I enable the feature, send an sms but no delivery report is ever received and the sms details is always showing Sent, not even delivered.
After lots of checking, I found out that for each individual contact, you can enable the delivery report. You need to compose sms, click on the menu button, click on sending settings and here you can select Request Delivery report.
The issue is that even this didn't work and it doesn't stay selected. Once you exit messages and get it again, it is on off.
I have checked the SMS centre number and it is correct, tried simply card on another mobile and delivery reports are received without any issues.
Anyone can advice of a solution to this?
Thank you in advance
