I got a new galaxy s bell vibrant today because i lost my old one :'(. After unlocking and flashing for hours (it was difficult because it came with froyo 2.2 and was hard to downgrade), i finally got it running darkys extreme 9.something and I've got data, calls... everything working well with good reception.
The Issue: I cant SEND text messages, but I can receive them
i've checked my APN settings and they seem to be fine.
Any ideas?
Edit: I've noticed that my phone does not know its own number (shows up as unknown)
Put A ROM ON that does not break your phone .

I encountered a similar issue just yesterday after weeks of no issues. After some digging, found that the SMSC number is missing.
Which provider are are you using? Once you know, do a search for <provider> smsc number.
I presume you may be using the stock messaging app. If so, go to Menu, Settings, Message Center. Enter here.
When I tried via codes option, it would not work.
I hope this helps.
resolved!

Thanks for the input, I ended up calling rogers before reading this and the problem was i didnt have the messaging centre configured, like you suggested. adding the number fixed the problem, thanks!
Yeh you could have read that on the Darky rom posts .

Hi, I am a recently registered user but a longtime "lurker" on the Opal section of xda.
I've bought my girlfriend an opal, roughly a year ago, and in three months or so she started complaining about some issues of the phone:
- From time to time she cannot send me SMSs, she just keep receiving the "cannot send sms" error
When this happens, she usually:
- Cannot establish an outgoing call, and more important,
- She cannot even receive any incoming call despite the mobile being connected to the network, and free, so that the caller just get a "no answer" while she doesn't even have neither a missed call report nor any ringtone deployed.
- Receive incoming SMSs
I've already tried to solve the problem in various different ways, including(of course) looking for help in existing threads, flashing a new rom on the phone resetting more than once.
I'm just stuck on a dead point, as of now.
Do you have an idea on how to solve such issues?
The only "fix" we found was to activate airplane mode then deactivate it to restart the network connection.
I think it is something related to the radio part of the OS but i couldn't find different radios to flash on.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Paperboy,
your problem is contained into 2 possibilities:
Your Network Setting (the SMS provider number)
Your OS (most propable)
I guess the best remedy is to use the official ROM (WM 6.1 Professional). You may have used unstable ROMs that caused such a mess.
Unfortunately, I merely found the Arabic ROM (It can be changed to English from (Settings>> Multilanguage Support).
WM 6.1 Arabic ROM
Hope it helps somehow.
Actually, I think it's neither of two.
I checked more than once the provider settings, including the sms service center. Actually if it is not correct, she'd never be able to send messages, while the "hangs" are just...random.
On the os side, i think it's not a matter of roms, mainly because i flashed as a consequence of months of frustration with the original rom.
Any other ideas?
btw, thanks for your advice!

it happens to me sometimes, when a message will just not go. i think its network/radio related, but it happens to me very less. i havent seen any radio's either.
sorry, i know, i could not help...
At least I'm not alone! Let's hope the gurus have a solution!

Hey there. I cant help but laugh, I had the exact same problem when i first got my phone and I used to think its a problem with the network but it isn't, if you haven't changed the stock OS/ROM, thats your issue, Flash an new ROM and it should resolve your problem.
(I recommend the pajerm RC3 ROM)
(Take care to backup all data, use outlook to backup all your contacts and stuff).
If that doesn't resolve your problem, post back. Best o' luck.

Okay this issue is rather different, What is certain is that the issue is not on the software side. Either your phone is konk or its the service, check the same SIM on a different phone, see if you face the same issue, if you do then its your network (which I know You said is unlikely, but no harm in making sure right?) If on the other hand, the phone works perfectly fine, then you have a problem with your phone's hardware in which case you need to get it check and probably serviced, worst case, get the handset replaced (if its under warranty).
Best o' luck
Try THIS ROM and report...Has a variety of apps as add on...Hope it works for you.
I'll give a try!
Thank you anyway!

Dont lock your phone with the default windows lock.....(use S2U2)
I know its strange but this helps, and do restart your phone every third day....
Issue Not Solved, but figured out
The HTC opal is sort of incompatible with certain carriers around the world, and this issue does not apply to all opals, only some of them have an issue. For example my phone has this issue with Airtel in my country. The phone seems to work fine with every other carrier. I think I might have to change my damn network again!
is it possible to turn off the thread view in opal??pls hlp
Hello,
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. I just flashed cog 3.04 from 2.8. I now cannot send or receive mms messages unless my wi-fi is turned off. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
mms messages are sent over your cell data connection...not sure why it would not be enabling it automatically but that is the problem.
what provider are you with?
My mms stopped working with rogers. Check your apn settings. for some reason mine had 2 letters backwards.
SetTings, wireless and networks, mobile networks, access point names. google your provider apn settings to see what they should be set to.
Edit: didnt read the last bit of your post lol. If it only works with wifi turned off im not sure. I use to have a separate apn for data and mms, but now there is 1 for both, does anyone know if by turning on wifi and disabling your data connection could disable both if your data and mms are both in the same apn? Just a thought...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It is strange, if I turn the wi-fi off, it will send. I am on ATT in West Virginia. I will try to check my settings.
Thanks.
The mms app should enable the data connection automatically to send the message. you need to ask what is up in the rom thread and see if there is a fix.
I tried posting there twice and no one answered my question. I think I may just flash another Rom. I can't post there anymore because of post count restrictions.
It is pretty annoying to have to toggle wi-fi on and off to send a mms. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it, though.
Head over to the ban the person above you thread....or the count to 10,000 one....your restriction will be gone in no time.
I have similair problems. I can recieve but cant send. its been like that since yesterday. just started out of the blue I was running cog.3.2 then flashed to 3.4 no luck. then flashed perception 10.2 and still no luck. going to odin my phone back to stock and go from there. lately my phone has been having problems with reception and sending texts. Its been on going since I flashed to cog 2.8.
I really like cognition, but the bug is annoying! LOL! I am sure he will get it fixed, I just thought I had done something wrong in flashing it.
so as a update, I Odin flashed to stock still no good on sending out text messages. flashed back to cog 3.04 and tried a couple of different modems such as ji1,ji2,ji3,jk6 and still no luck. I'm begining to think something went wrong with my plan or my sim.
Issues with Cognition 3.04
I had installed cognition 3.04 and have been using it for the past couple of days.... the performance compared to conginition v2.8b is faster. Also some issues that i have is my data connectivity keeps dropping.
The other issues that i have is when i have data connectivity on it keeps popping up and displays "call cost" every few minutes where it does not get deducted from my balance. Please let me know how to go about resolving the issue.
Has anyone else experienced these issues.
Try stock or a different rom to see if it persists.
isolated my problem to be a sim card issue. swapped out sim cards with a buddy and all functions started working. called customer service and then got sent to tech support. they also came to that conculsion. visit to at&t and one free sim card, I'm back in business
Hi,
I have a Samsung I9000 Galaxy S device running Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813) and I can't seem to send or receive any MMS.
I don't really know exactly when this problem started because I just recently had to use MMS and noticed it was broken. I'm sure at some point it was working correctly.
When I receive a MMS I get the notification and in the message there is a "Download" button. Touching the button it give me a notification that the download failed.
I've checked the apn settings over and over again.
I don't have any other issues with my phone.
Please let me know if you had encounter this problem and if you have any solutions.
late reply - saw this while trying to find a solution to my new problem.
could not send or receive mms on my i9000m without using telstra wap apn (not ideal as not on a data plan, only prepaid talk/text).
finally got a prepaid data plam\n so all was good til today when suddenly lost ability to mms again - send or receive. trying to play with apn options again but now also find that i can't delete all the existing apns and start from scratch. the 'default' telstra ones...mms and internet, obviously not working and i can't get rid of them...but can start a new one.
wonder if i can delete them via root explorer, but don't know where to find them in there. will keep looking and update if i resolve this issue.
bummer.....
Hi all, I have been using the Stock Extra from the here for a number of weeks now with no issues. Until yesterday when my galaxy s stopped making or receiving calls or text messages, I get an error message saying text not sent & when I try to dial out it goes straight to call ended. I have tried a restore which didn’t help and I have even went back to XXJVS Rom 2.3.5 but still no calls or texts ! I rang Virgin mobile yesterday and they did all the usual checks and they said it must be a setting on the phone causing the problem as they cant see anything being blocked or barred. When I use my card in another phone it works fine ! My wife’s sim card wont work in my phone either so it has to be the phone ! Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem? I am Desperate now I have only had the phone 3 months!
These are my settings now on XXJVSModel No

Did you try a reflash with Odin? Never seen this problem before.
Hi Paulforde, Yeah tried re-flashing with Odin but no change
Cheers
Try a different modem firmware...
I had several issues with several different ROMs but in most cases anything to do with calls, data, wifi, GPS, or BT were solved by flashing a different modem... I didn't notice which country or carrier you're using but I'm in Canada using Rogers and the best modem I've found for signal strength, and keeping all of the other radio related functions working has been UGKC1 This is dependant on where you are and who your carrier is though.
You can find most of the Froyo and Gingerbread modems here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
Hope this helps,

I have this exact problem with a Galaxy S I just got back from a RMA - the antenna was dodgy or something and it would get poor signal everywhere. Now signal is fine but it won't make texts/calls, again not the SIM.
Does your mobile internet work? Mine does which is weird..
Have you also checked your APN settings??
Hello everyone,
I have a carrier unlocked G920T which I am using. The current carrier I'm using is [email protected], and I've been having a bit of an issue. For some reason, my phone will receive text messages, but not send any. I checked the APN (which was updated to [email protected]'s settings), phone had a factory reset and such. The only way I've been able to send text messages is through GOSMS, which I personally don't like, and would like to use other SMS apps without getting an error when sending a message.
Anyone has any idea why I'm getting this issue? The phone's running Android 6.0.1 and my mobile plan does not have MMS/Mobile Data.
Sorry if I placed this post in the wrong section of the forums and thank you in advanced.

Not an expert... but this happened to me like 2 weeks ago...
I had to call the T-mobile (in my case) and they fixed it... as it was a carrier problem, some codes thing...
It was my SIM card that was giving me issues. Went and got the SIM changed, seems to be working now.
But it seems it's the other way around now, not receiving, but able to send. I'm jynxed.
