"The message is incomplete" |

I'm having a problem with recieved SMS from one particular person. The problem is when I go to read the message it gives me an information bar saying "the message is incomplete" and "not found"
I've had a look at the forum and found theres different variations in how "the message is incomplete" can crop up.
But my problem is only restricted to one person and my network provider Vodafone, and the sender's network Orange, both have said that it's a manufacters fault which is almost certainly the case, as I had doubt as to whether it can be the phones fault when I was recieving other messages fine but I have accepted that SE aint invinicible after all.
Has anyone got the same problem as me, or does anyone know how to fix the problem? |

Don't know if this is a silly question, but this texts aren't over the 160 character limit are they, does this person have a habit of sending long texts?
It will often say something like 'incomplete message' when only the first 160 characters of the text have come through and it's waiting for the next part to be recieved to complete the message.

Ah... someone with the same problem at last 
funny thing.. i'm on VF and the other guy is on Orange as well..
I have found a workaround..
with FC, click more, then forward, and the message can be read..
however, it still shows as unread unless you delete it.

i phoned SE support here in Portugal, and they said they didn't know anything about this issue. Asked me to contact my carrier (Vodafone). But Vodafone doesn't sell P990i in Portugal yet.... so they don't have yet the technical specifications of P990...
Hope SE firmware fix it! |

I bet ya that there is one of the thrid party apps you might have installed after the re-flash. I know this is tedious, but you could re-flash again, and then insatll apps one by one and test and see which one caused your issue.
It happened on my P900

OK, this is kind of a dead thread, but here goes.
Since the problem is restricted to a certain contact, I guess it's the same problem I had. The thing is, if you have a number in both the phone memory an the SIM-card, and also have a voice control for that number, a lot of strange stuff happens:
- Contacts are not shown by name on calls and messages (not sure if this happens to all contacts or just the problematic ones)
- Messages from the problematic contacts become "incomplete".
- The contact app. can't read/write Contacts from/to the SIM-card anymore.
The simple solution is to wipe the contacts from the SIM-card, but if you only have the P990 to play with, you have to remove the voice control first.
A quite bizarre bug, so I hope  knows about it...

@jalf
I had the above named problems and googled around a bit, found the reason, popped in my sim card into my Z600 (since I had a bit too many voice control recordings done) and cleared the SIM there. Now my P990i is happy again.
I don't know, but it might be caused by my non-3G SIM. (I got a new SIM (with 3G support) now and haven't tried loading any contacts onto it.)
