Hi everyone. I have searched through the forums and yes, I am a noob. I don't even flash roms with my 1 week old kaiser yet because i am still studying about them and find the process risky and hard..
anyway, I send texts on an average of aroudn 100 to 150 a day and i noticed that sometimes, text message I sent get received by the people I text really really late. Like there is a lag time of around 1 hour. This happens when there is no notification comes out on my screen after sending the message but, the message i sent is in the SENT ITEMS folder..
sometimes also, I receive texts late..
guys, please help me with this.. I am really scared and all. I hope someone from you people could help me.. please.. thanks..
its not the phone, its the network, they have lags in their servers, thats why it happenes! if it is ATT and ur in south texas, that is happening to all of us for last 5days! even call drops.
well, i am from the philippines man.. hehe
hmm, you sure it's in the network? cause bro, i used to have a simple nokia phone and this stuff does not really happen.. zzz..
It's a mixture of your network and maybe the network your sending to. Your provider may be performing upgrades or something. I used to work for nextel and they had big problems with the txt messaging provider they used working with other providers.
If your worried then back everything up or sync it to your computer and then hardreset your phone.
The Kaiser is very loud about letting you know if your message didn't get sent. So if it goes into your SMS Sent Items folder, it is, alas, out of your hands.
SMS is like email. Most of the time its instant. Yet sometimes it not, due to any number of things. Such as, usages spikes, peak usage time, server hiccup, server crash, or just plan server silliness.
I have an unlocked At&T tilt and my service t-mobile. Lately my text messages have not been able to send. I can recieve text but i cannot reply. I'm thinkin its cuz i dropped my phone before but maybe thats not the case..Does anybody know what the problem is? I have full reception nd everything also when i try to send text. Thanks
Do you have the funds to send it?
Yeah i have unlimited texting. ive had the phone for like 3 months now. nd im just now experiencing this problem
This might be a longshot, but...
Do you happen to know if the people you are having problems with "Replying" to are using a Samsung phone?
I have three contacts in my list and am unable to reply to them. They are all using Samsung phones. Instead I have to create a new message each time I reply to them, which is quite cumbersome as I normaly turn of my phone right after sending, so I'd first read the "Your message could not be sent" notification a day or so later
I've tried replying to them with dumbphones aswell with the same problem, so I don't think it's WM specific though
I have no idea...everytime my message doesnt send, it says "error sychronizing". i dont know what that means but i know it has somethin to do with the active sync
Error sync?
Uhmm... are you sure your not using Outlook or something else? Might be you just selected wrong... But here are the tipical reasons why a mobile cannot send a text message:
-Lack of funds
-Config error (wrong message service center number, but normally config is auto)
-Lack of network connectivity
-Other phone disable, unavailable, disconnected
-Provider error
my phones done that a few times I just wait a few mn then try again and it usually works but on the otherhand trying to send and recive pics has always been a pain for me.
I dont know...i still have this problem. Sometimes it sends, but most of the time it doesnt. it pisses me off. everytime it doesnt send, it always says "error synchronizing". Maybe its cuz i have an unlocked phone?
That my be it. Because you know, you're the only one with an unlocked phone.
Seriously Have you tried a Hard Reset. Back up you stuff first.
You may try another ROM just to see if that ROM has a bug.
Same problem
hi i been having the same problem
steps i tried:
turn phone off and on
soft and hard reset
flashing new roms
inserting a different sim card. and they have no problem texting
take out all sd cards battery and turn phone off and on
and i am still unable to text it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. full reception and everything i can receive text from everyone but i cant reply to none. girlfriend has a samsung blackjack but we never had a problem texting eachother before and friends with iphones various phones but i still cannot send a text!EVERYTHING ON THE PHONE IS FINE EXCEPT TEXT!!!!
weird, Im having the same problem. Sometimes It says error sending message try again. When I touch the try again it sends again sometimes it doesnt send and sometimes it does send but they person recieves the message like 4 times. Its annoying..it recently started to do this. About 2 weeks ago roughly. I dont really remember. Im thinking about switching radios but I dont know which one to use. Im in Houston any suggestions?
Faced that before too
Either
you don't have good signal
Or
the contact name contains <> brackets as shown or other symbols in his/her name
You can try sending to a number 1st without opening the contacts
If it works, you have no settings problem and try changing the contacts name displayed
if not
try hard resetting
Good luck
EDIT: the above is for cannot be sent msg

I get this message every once in a great while on a stock Tilt. It's frustrating when I've typed in a really long message! Only once have I noticed that I lost my connection/signal.
This problem is almost as annoying as the fact that I can sit perfectly still in my living room, and go from full signal to one bar a dozen times during a conversation.
same thing is happening with me. the last couple days i would get peoples text messages late, and then today it started, where i couldnt sent text messages, and i would get that "cant send text" message.
and ive upgraded to a new rom, then it started to happen, i dunno if its the rom, my phone, or maybe my sim card.
I started having this issue 2 days ago and its driving me nuts. everything else works but I can't seem to send any text messages out. I can get messages from anyone but sending it out... I keep getting"your text message cannot be sent"
I too have flashed 3 different roms, radios, tried other sims all to no avail..
any other suggestions?
I'm having the same problem, anyone have a fix?

I was able to fix mine by turning off 3g. I have an unlocked Tilt on tmobile. Some how 3g in the comm manager got turned on and that was causing my issue. Not sure how it got turned on since I didn't have a 3g button but with Advanced Config I added 3g button turned 3g off and now all my text's work just as they use to.

I have a Tilt unlocked for Tmobile as well and am still having this problem since Friday. How exactly do you add the 3G button to the comm manager? Is there any other way to turn off the 3G setting? Thanks in advance.

Disabling 3G worked for me too. I turned it off using Comm Manager and text messages started to work fine!
For those of you who may not have the same version of Comm Manager, here is the registry key that apparently controls this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\UMTS\OpMode
This is a dword value. Set it to 1 to disable 3G, and to 0 to reenable it.
Remember, that you will need to power cycle the phone after changing this value.
EDIT: It looks like T-Mobile is doing some testing (confirmed for Seattle area) in anticipation of launching 3G network some time in the future. I'm pretty sure that these are related. Looks like all phones that support 3G are having issues with sending text messages.
Eh I had a weird error once. This error happened while I was sending a message and the other person was sending me a message. So what happened, I sent it again after I received the other message. But it stayed in my outbox, so it kept on sending the same message to her every couple minutes lol. I had to like delete the whole messaging inbox to make it stop.
I have been having this problem. In low signal areas when I have one, sometimes even two bars this will happen. I try to send a text message and it says message not sent and puts a link for me to try again. The thing is sometimes (perhaps every time, I'm not even sure) the message actually did send. I discovered this when someone told me I send them multiple messages sometimes. Do I have some kind of auto retry message program in addition to the regular retry prompt? Does anyone else have this problem?

Just don't send again,
I think if it hasn't asked you to place your message in the drafts folder than it will automatically send the message again.

Nope windows mobile never automatically sends again upon failures (the old Palm OS did... if you, say, sent an SMS message right before entering an elevator/lift, and you lost connectivity, it would AUTOMATICALLY resend the message once you exited the lift and got connectivity back).
I usually send it later. You have to do it manually though.
I get some texts but I'm finding more and more that people respond to my texts and I never get them. I dont have Advanced Task Killer but I do use autokiller. Is it that? Could it be some other program or maybe my ROM? This is driving me crazy.
I have the same problem with mine. I've checked my friends' text logs to confirm that they're not being mean and lying their way out of not texting me, and my phone has the most sporadic SMS reception and sending. I'll receive doubles of some texts, and fail to receive others at all. Friends only appear to receive 1/3 of texts I've been sending, and this is under both Apex and S7.
I am running Apex also and I even deleted Handcent, didnt fix problem.
Hey guys, I got a problem. I am in a bad covered area (concerning network) and so my sms sending is being stoped over and over again and I sometimes have to resend an SMS 10 times, till it finally reaches its' destination. This kinda drives me crazy, cause often my GF yells at me, because I dont text back (you know the chicks ) In fact I texted back, but it wasnt sent and I didnt notice, because I e.g. was listening to music, or similar stuff. So is there a possibility to auto resend SMS? I heard of some apps, but is there maybe also an option in CM? Or do I need another sms client? I just dont wanna have to click on resend or edit and send all the time.
Thanks for the help in advance
Hmm, sometimes, when I send a SMS and it fails to send it, SMS/MMS app says :
"... It will be resent when you are covered" (Or something like that, I don't have the whole sentence printed in my brain)
But most of the time, I have to resend it...
Anyway, I found this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998764
"I found that Go SMS Pro did.
I also saw a couple that claimed to automatically resend but I can't remember the names. You should search the market again."
Hope it helps !
EDIT: I know veeeeery well what it is to have girlfriend angry because of that >< Good luck
