EDIT: for whatever reason it started working just after i posted this from my tilt but if anyone knows, i would like to know possible causes.
Yesterday it was fine but now i cant send any messages (like email and sms but phone and internet are fine) on my tilt. I go into messages, and try to send a new message but all the text fields wont let me type anything and the "Add recipricant" menu option is greyed out.
As i said i was able to send a text message yesterday. the only things i did today that wasnt normal was use TrackMe. i recorded a few gps coordainates offline because i had no signal. then when i got home, i soft restarted because my signal wouldnt recover (and i knew i could get a signal here). then i uploaded my offline positions.
now im here. since active sync wont work on my company laptop, i was going to email the kml to myself and thats when i noticed i couldnt send anything.
has anyone experienced this before or know any ways to fix it (i already tried a soft reset).

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.
Hi,
Just a quick one, wondering if its happened to anybody else before.
I got a couple of text messages the other day but the received number was about 20 digits long? It started off OK, with the right country code and mobile provider code, then its was just loads of random numbers?
Dunno if its the phone or somebody spoofing texts to me? Kinda weird! Just wondering if anybody else has had this issue?
Oh and I have swiftBL ROM.
Actually, while I'm here, I asked this question the other day, but lost the thread!
Is it possible to have an option to surf via WiFi, because whenever I click the browser it automatically starts to use HSDPA, but I'd be at home with me WiFi or in work with WiFi and I want to tell it to use the!
Thanks,
DG.
wifi
just turn wifi on in comms manager...jobs a good one
can't help you with the sms....but its working ok here
must be a dodgy sms...just bin it...or google the number and see if something pops up
have a good day
My daughter is away at college and I helped her install Froyo on her Captivate. All but one thing works and it confuses me. I sent her a photo I took w/ my phone, and though she received the message, she's unable to view the photo.
Could somebody give me some things to have her check?
Thanks
By any chance did the message that she received come from her cell provider, stating that she received a picture message? I had the same thing happen and it turned out that I didn't have the "extra" mms picture/video package from my provider which didn't allow me to view the pictures or messages that ppl sent me from my phone. I had to log on to some website to see them. Not sure if this is the issue, just throwing it out out there.

I have my entire family on a data plan. All of us can send and receive text w/ pic messages at any time. She can no longer do this with the upgrade to 2.2.
hmm, that doesn't seem right. I had 2.2 and I was able to receive pictures so I can't see it being froyo. I would call her provider and let them know the issue. Sorry I couldn't be more help
edit: If she already hasn't done so, I would probably also do a Factory Reset, sometimes that helps clear up some bugs when upgrading
I had this same issue where pictures/video clips would not send/receive. This service goes via MMS (3G data) while voice & text via GSM/CDMA, i believe. I had a battery saving app called "JuiceDefender" that was turning off my 3G receiver (to save 'juice').. by doing so, MMS which requires 3G could not send/receive pictures or video clips. Make sure you can see the "3G" icon at top... just something to check.
Has anyone else on T-Mobile have trouble sending/receiving MMS messages over cellular? I'll get a notification that I got a photo to download, but it just sits there spinning. If I tried to send a photo it just sits there on the sending part.
However, if I get on WiFi it's fine. Just cellular. On Android Messenger. Anyone else having this issue?

Hey TJK..........
Did you use the APN settings mentioned here? Scroll down to "Android APN settings". If your settings don't match those, then create a NEW APN and copy over everything EXACTLY as written on that site (which is OFFICIAL T-Mobile btw), then Save, then restart your phone to be safe. Then ask someone you know to text you a pic (aka MMS) and if you receive it, you're good. You could also try sending that person a pic if you like, but I bet if one works the other will too.
Note: For the APN Type line, make sure you have NO spaces after each comma.
That's weird about it only happening on cellular, but anyway, try all that and let me know what happens.
Good luck!
I didn't have any issues when I was on T-Mo. I have quite a few contacts that refuse to use anything other than standard texting, so I end up with a lot of MMS messages.
