Delivery reports

Zeking — Sat, 24 Oct 2015 17:34:32 GMT

Hello everyone
I read all the topics about delivery report but my question is different.

I turned the delivery report on and the tick is showen when it is delivered and on message details it shows delivered. But the phones thay I used before when I show message details it shows the delivery time also and when the message is received it will give notification that the message has been received and no need to go to message and check if it was received or not with even no delivery time

Why are these 2 features not found in Xperia z3 dual?(delivery time and notification)?

That's not phone dependant but network dependant, contact them regarding this.

No it is not network dependent. I use the same network on other phone and get a delivery report notification and when I press the message details I can see the delivery time.

I am sure of that and if I have little doubt of that I won't post my problem here.

Thanks for your suggestion but it is not a network dependent.

@zeking if message is not delivered (while delivering) it´s shown as faded. after delivery it become bright. so there´s no need to chceck by long pressing on current message.

@mrnino @Zeking

What you are referring its sending > sent message, it doesn't mean that it has been received nor viewed, I can send a message and it goes through, hence the change of color as you've pointed out, but the other person might have the phone off or airplane mode, there's no way for me to know when and if it was received.

tested right now:

i´ve sent message to my second number (mobile is turned off). sent message on my z3c is still shown as faded. after turning on second phone it becomes light... so that´s sign that message has been delivered (former check icon).

@mrnino

You didn't understand me well.

I know what you are saying and I know that bright and dark notices mean that the message is delivered but when I use another phone samsung or LG for example when the message is delivery you will a have a notification as if a message was sent to you and this notification contains that the message that was sent has been delivered now. Furthermore you can show message details at any time and get the exact delivery time of the sent SMS.

but in my xperia z3 dual I can only know if it is delivered when I go to the sms and by the bright or dark signs you mentioned and by showing message details it only says delivered or not, with no delivery time as other phones in addtion that you will not be noticed by a notification when the message is delivered so you must check it each time in the messaging app to see if it is bright or dark.

Is it clear now???

@Zeking

Thanks for the additional info, which messaging app were you using on the other devices?

I looked into my phone and can't find detailed delivery reports too. When I press and hold a message I can get more details screen but it only states if message was delivered or not.

Looking into settings menu there is an option to get MMS read reports but I haven't tried it yet.

The feature you mentioned - notification when someone actually received a message was present in most old Nokia phones since 5110 but I haven't seen it on any recent Android Xperia, at least in default messaging app.

@SergioPL

I used android phones such as LG and Samsung with KitKat and Lolipop android versions and there was no problem with these 2 features.

This is my first Xperia phone and don't know about other phones I will check someone's phone and see.

And I am talking about the normal SMS messages not the MMS one. So the MMS read report will not help in this case.

I tried another xperia phone (xperia TX) and the same problem is found.

Why Xperia phones lack these 2 features.

I may change to other phone market hence it took xperia team about 3 months to fix a small bug and now there is no waterproof phones from sony.
