N9 can't receive text's - maemo.org

Hi guys

My Nokia N9 can't receive text messages anymore

I can receive calls, i can call out, and even text other persons - But i never receive the replies..

I even tried with my sim-card in a Lumia 800, and then i could receive messages. So it has to be my N9?!

I tried restoring it to default but that didn't solve the problem.

Any help?

Cheers in advance, and sorry for my poor english :-)

Never heard of this happening, Reflash your N9.

I had a similar issue with my faulty(as in locking up) 64GB N9, what was causing my problem was smileys, if my wife for instance sent me a message from her iphone containing smileys then I simply wouldn't receive the message. If there were no smileys in the message then I would recieve it no problems.

I didn't have the phone long enough to say if the issue extended to other phones as had to send it back sadly, might be something to look into though.

I have the same problem on 2 N9's both of which are running PR1.2

A message sent from any iPhone with a smiley will not be recieved by the N9. Remove the smiley and the message is recieved.

Sending a message with a smiley from one N9 to another N9 works.

yes its a known bug that iPhones non-standard emoji messages are never received on N9. There is a bug open about it on bugzilla.

As a workaround you can disable emoji option from iphone, and only send standard text messages.

As mentioned, the issue isn't with your device, it is with all N9s. Dev team is "apparently" fixing it in PR 1.3. Just tell you iphone friends to disable emoji
