So I have had my Captivate for a little over a month now and I have the basic mods done to it, rooted and sideloading enabled and have used everything on the phone with no problems up until now. A few days ago I installed anycut and was messing with the settings and set it to gsm only and tried some other things with no success. It seems that maybe a day after that all my texts were failing to send, however I can still receive text messages. My data still works, phone switches from edge to 3g with no problem, everything works, I just cant send texts now. I have done EVERYTHING that i can think of to try to solve the problem by resetting the phone, tried reverting to a backup taken by titanium backup, reverted to a complete rom backup, even completely loaded the phone back to stock non rooted/sideloaded and none of those things fixed the problem. is there some setting somewhere that I can check/verify that might affect me being able to send text?
LOL i did the same mistake and did the same thing you did to try to fix it.
I figured out that i deleted the sms center number so i could receive texts but not send(not good when your girlfriend is having a breakdown btw). So nerdy me went into the secret phone settings(service menu's) to put back in the sms center and kept getting an error.
Baffled I called att and had a facepalm moment when they told me to go to the stock messaging app and go to settings and input the sms center number from there.
Short Version: Open Stock Messaging app -> Settings -> message center option input +13123149810
Im gonna go look for the other number if that one doesn't work
Edit: Try this one if the other doesn't work +19703769301
Wow thanks! that fixed it. Man what a dumb move on my part.
*82
My messages where also failing sporadically. I checked for the call center number and I did have it. It turns out my problem was because I was using *82 in the contact phone number.
I hid my number from being displayed to others by going to home - settings - call settings - all calls - show my number - hide. And I added *82 in front of just family member phone numbers. But sms / texting was incompatible with *82. So I changed the family mobile phone numbers to ###-###-#### and added a second phone number with *821-###-###-####.
I use my cell phone for business and personal use so that is why I have it configured this way.
i have hero cdma non sprint. running csrom. i applied the fix patch but still not working. net/calls/sms work fine no problem. i tried to manually enter the smsc gateway but it keeps on erroring out. reinstalled origial firmware thinkiing something went wrong but im still having probles. tried diffrent roms but still not functioning anyone have any suggestion oh how to fix this or am i gonna have to revert to original ruu..
I'm having the same problem here too. I have a rooted Hero with Extremely Black running on it and my wife has a stock hero. She can send and receive MMS with no problem, but mine has issues. I can't send MMS, even tho it never returns an error saying it didn't go out, and can receive most MMS, but some don't go through.
Any suggestions for a fix?
Hi Peeps,
For some strange reason my SGS has decided to stop sending sms. After hitting send the messages just get stuck on "sending"
I have checked the message centre number and the mms setting just in case. I have tried the sim in an old nokia and it texts just fine.
It was having intermittent issues with sms around a week ago, where it wouldnt send a message, so i would send the same one again and then both would send simultaneously. However now its not sending at all.
I am running Froyo.xwjp6 with kernel 2.6.32.9.
I have also tried instaling Handcent SMS but i just get the error "message not sent"
Thoughts on a postcard?
Same here, although trying handcent has allowed me to send, but strangely, will intermittently fail, im sure its a froyo bug.

I managed to fix it. Couldn't be bothered with trying to reflash the modem or even the os, so tried the Privacy-return to factory settings option just out of curiosity. Can't figure out what it did exactly but when it rebooted i had not lost any settings or applications, and all my home screen app shortcuts were still there. The only discernable difference was the lack of gadgets on the home screen, which I had to reinstall.
The important thing however is that messaging worked again. God knows why.
One susipicion I have is that this is due to my usage of Titanium Backup. I installed it when i was running Eclair, and each time i upgrade the OS i use it to restore my old system data and apps. Perhaps some change between Eclair and Froyo's messaging settings is being overwritten by and older version by Titanium. I suspect this as following the above factory restore I tried a Titanium restore and instantly it broke my messaging again. So I did the factory again and got them back. There wasn't really any need to use Titanium as I said before I didn't seem to lose any setting or apps, but did it anyway out due to that old cat's friend curiosity
Give it a go if u dare and see what happens
Let me know how u get on...
Ok so im still having the same problem.is there really noone out there with an idea?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I would link you to several other posts, however I'm too new to send links! but I've googled and searched quite a bit and all the things I've tried have failed.
I'm rooted with FROYO.... and the other day I stopped recieving texts after recieving a "Low Memory" error.
I send texts just fine, I've had this issue before and usually a flash to a nandroid backup and an update to the PRL and PROFILE fixes it.... however not this time. I've been working on this for 2 days now....
Here's what I've tried
1. Reflash back to earlier ROM.
2. Update PRL, and Update PROFILE --- (done this everytime I Flash/Restore)
3. Reflashed back to current ROM.
4. restored countless nandroid backups
5. Factory reset with different roms
6. FINALLY Chatted with sprint, he made me do a couple diagnostics that he said would "work"
7. He did advanced troubleshooting and made me turn off phone for an hour
Still nothing works.
I noticed by googling that quite a few people suggested deleting telephony.db, however I do not have a telephony.db file... even when I reflash and restore backups there is no telephony.db file.
Anybody else have ideas on what I can do?

With Titanium Backup, it would be Dialer storage, it's listed with sms and mms, you could try that.
Go into your parental controls at sprint.com and make sure sms is turned on, it somehow got turned off on my sons phone once.
if you have your msl code u could restore a sense rom and dial ##3282# go to data setting and change your accolic to 1 that will give you a higher priority for calls and texts just dont change it to 0 because thats reserved for emergency government bans and you might get some notices from the fcc lol.
youll be fine if u leave it on 1though

Sadly I don't have a titanium backup of the sms and mms
And for some reason I can't get the texting link on the sprint.com parental controls to open.... I've tried 3 different browser, I wonder if the link is down
just call sprint and ask tell them u want to do a data restore and theyll give it to u
msl reader in the market if you are rooted

Don't restore any system stuff or apps via titanium backup, this is probably what borked it in the first place.
Yeah I'm not entirely sure what screwed it up, however I do know that on most of the ROMS I installed and Nandroid backups, that the /data/data folder on my phone did not exist.
I tried using linux commands to find the "telephony.db" file, and doing this I discoved the /data/data folder was missing. And the "random backup" I restored either recreated it or had it still in memory. And now when I navigate to the /data/data folder on my phone it's FULL of stuff. So I'm sure however that got deleted, that it was the issue.
Thank yall so much for your help
Glad you got it sorted out.
Ok so i figured i would look for help here before ending up at a t-mobile store with my rooted g4.
My issue is as of yesterday my phone stopped being able to send sms. It receives them fine. And can place and receive calls fine. My bill is paid up and my service is A-OK. I have the same results on cellular or wifi calling. Text gets stuck as "sending". Then never sends or fails. Just stays as "sending" even after rebooting.
I'm running the 10n firmware, rooted and debloated. I have not changed any settings or any apps recently at all. It just sorta stopped.
I have tried:
-removing and cleaning my sim card
-clearing cache
-screaming at my phone
-turning off wifi
-canceling all pending texts, rebooting, clearing cache again
All with no luck. Any advice? Ideas? Theories?
I find myself constantly rebooting when this occurs, which is often.
It's the one disappointing problem with this phone.
Have you tried any other text apps, such as textra or handcent, just to see if it's your messaging app?
gonna try Textra next. Seems to be a popular suggestion.
Had this happened to me too. Tried Textra and it got better but still has hiccups
Tried Textra, Chop and a couple others. None as good as the OEM LG app. I think this phone just has wifi issues.
