Thanks Droid Usrr for your help. Almost every single 'help' site on the Net has their resident 'expert'. (I even did that for a while on a Tech site a long time ago, in my spare time.)

I didn't see "Solved," but I clicked "Correct Answer", which I 'assume' is the equivalent.

P.S. Btw, is there anybody I could ask about Question 2 in my original post?

2.) I have Verizon and before ICS, when I'd send a text to a non-Vzn. user, I'd always get a 'broken' arrow and the delivery was always "Pending" (even though most of the time they actually received the message). When I'd send a text to a Vzn. user, a 'solid' arrow would appear and the Report would show "Received".
Now, no matter if they're a non-Vzn. or a Vzn. user, it never shows "Received". It always shows "Pending".
Is that a bug in the ICS or Vzn. or a combination of both (and does anybody else have that problem, and if so, is there a way to fix it)?

  What app are you using? I use the built in text messaging app, and I only see the "arrow" for just a few seconds while the message sends, and then I see the date and time it was sent.

  Are you sure the people you are texting are receiving your texts?

Yea, the old system used a "Solved" button, the new site uses "Helpful and Correct" comments. Points are awarded to people that receive helpful and correct answers.

I use the built in text messaging app too. (The green icon on the bottom, with the dopey smiley face.)


Just like you (for Vzn. and non-Vzn. recipients), after I send a text, I see the broken arrow for a couple of seconds and then it slides to the left and it also shows: Sent: (date and time) to the right of the broken arrow.

What used to happen is (for Vzn. recipients ONLY), after several more seconds, instead of that broken arrow (with the date and time sent to the right of that), the broken arrow used to turn into a green circle with a white check mark (with the date and time sent to the right of that).
For non-Vzn. recipients, the broken arrow remained as above.

Before ICS, for Vzn. recipients, when you held your finger down on the text and chose "View Report", it would say, "Received". If you held your finger down on the text and chose, "View message details", it would say (among other things), "Cause code: OK or Msg dlvd, 32768".

Before ICS, for non-Vzn. recipients, when you held your finger down on the text and chose "View Report", it would say, "Pending". If you held your finger down on the text and chose, "View message details", it would say the same as for Vzn. recipients.

After ICS, it doesn't matter whether I send a text to Vzn. or non-Vzn. recipients, they ALL show the same properties as when sending a text to non-Vzn. recipients (i.e. I never get the check mark and it never says "Received". The broken arrow remains and it always says, "Pending".)

  That is the bad part about troubleshooting, if you update your OS, you can't test the previous version with anything... I would have liked to compare Pre and Post ICS, but I couldn't..

  Thanks for all that info.. Very handy.
