[Q] Unable to Send SMS suddenly

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?

[Q] MMStroubles on conition 3.04

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...

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

[Q] Serendipity .... only one problem.....

Ive been running serendipity 6.4 for a few days now and love it.
Everything works great except when someone tries to call me I get a weird audio tone and then the person calling me gets forced to voicemail after one ring.
And on my end I never even see the call coming through, am thinking of flashing cognition if I cant get this resolved....
Any ideas?

Bad flash or you restored apps and system data. Never heard of that on 6.4.

Yeah, I've been having a similar problem. When somebody calls me, my phone rings once or twice, then the signal inexplicably disappears. The caller gets some att message that the network is down, but I never had this problem before.

yeah it's a common occurrence if you restored system data

so when i did my titanium backup i should of just restored user apps but nothing else??
So is there any way to fix other than reflashing?

Missing apps+data only.
Reflash. Sorry.

hmmm... I followed a vid on flashin cognition to a tee.
It was a 3 part video...cant find the link right now,
but several ppl said to follow it exactlly for flashing cog or serendipity, and in the vid im sure the guy said to restore all user apps and data which is what i did...
so next time just do missing apps and data?
I think i might just reflash and not restore anything backed up, if i dont restore backup files whats the worse that could happen? just have to setup apn,widgets,contacts and apps n crap again? or is it a step i must do?
just want to be able to receive calls again and not screw it up the second time, other than the one ring then dropped calls everything works great

Can I restore my contacts? I'd hate to have to find all those phone numbers and type them in again.

Sync to google, then re-sync when you flash.

i reflashed serendipity and this time only used titanium backup for missing apps and data and my calls are now working fine.....
My contacts are gone tho, and i dont have them setup in google to sync with, is there a contacts file in titanium that i could restore???
thanks

Ive never once had a problem with restoring contacts, just go into titanium, find contacts in the list and hit restore
should be called [CONTACTS/CALL STORAGE], just restore that part and all should be fine

Thanks, I synced my contacts from Google, and everything was fine. Now, for some reason, contacts crashes whenever I try to open it, and I get "android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly".

Not Receiving Text Messags

After I rooted, im not receiving any text messages. But i know i can send messages. I could also make and receive phone calls. Ive tried using a sense rom to update prl and profile which updated but still not receiving text messages. Anyone have any ideas why?

Try sending the text 'Allow all' without the parentheses to 9999
Sent from Dorian's EVO 3D

Tried. Didnt seem to have worked. any more suggestions?

If the "allow all" text didn't work, and using a sense rom to update prl/profile doesn't work - I would suggest downloading the RUU and reverting completely back to stock. See if it works then, if it does root with z4 or w/e you like and go back to the rom/nandroid you had before.
if it doesn't work call sprint or bring it in to one of their stores
Also, just wondering; you do have plenty of free space on your phone right? People seem to get really weird problems when their phone is running low on internal storage.
And do you use google voice for voicemail?
And what, if anything, did you do at or around the time it started acting up? (ie installed new apps, flashed new kernel, etc.)
Sent from my HERO200 using xda premium

Question1: Yeah i have plenty of space no apps installed.
Question2:Yeah i use google voice. but is not set up right now since i just rooted.
Question3: First noticed no messages being received when i rooted i believe.
Guess illl try to the RUU and see if that works.

Used RUU. Still not being able to receive messages. going to have to contact Sprint.

Try useing a different RUU if your going to doit again, see if that works...just a thought. Later

I have been having problems receiving texts as well ever since I installed a new ROM (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090234) 2 days ago.
All functions seem to work fine, including outgoing text messages, but incoming do not work at all.
I had been running Cyanogen Mod 6 for about a year without any problems except speed, just wanted to try a newer and possibly faster ROM. I did have issues whenever I would get a "low space" indicator but that doesn't seem to be the case with the current issue.
I am using Google Voice for voicemail.
My service provider is Cellular South, btw, not Sprint.

Ran the RUU but still didnt work. so i updated to newest build and still didnt work. still havent had a chance to call Sprint.

Problem Solved. Since sprint merged with google my settings where changed and were set to receive text messages to google voice and not my phone. If anyone else has this problem just go to your account in google voice settings and make sure that theres a check mark next to receive text to phone. thanks to all for the help =)

That didn't work for me
Of course, I'm not on Sprint, but Cellular South. Still no joy on my end. I actually reverted back to my previous CyanogenMod via Nandroid, which WAS receiving text messages just fine, but now it doesn't work either.
I have the original Cell South 2.1 RUU I could use if necessary, but hoping not to have to do that. Looking like I might have to, though.

Finally got it up and running.
I was about to run the 2.1 RUU but then remembered I made a Nandroid backup of my 2.1 Sense-based config before the first time I rooted so I restored to it and dialed *228 to download the latest updates. The texts then started working, so then I reverted back to my Nandroid backup of my new ROM and it worked like a charm!

No MMS after 4.4.2

Hello,
I have an AT&T HTC One running a Straight Talk (ATT LTE) SIM. When I first had the phone everything was running great. Great speeds, SMS, MMS, etc. Now, for some reason, I no longer get any MMS! I still get full speeds and regular messages, but not pictures or group messages (sending or receiving).
We set my wife's S3 Mini up the same way, and she is able to get everything (minus LTE for obvious reasons). The only difference is that I updated to 4.4.2.
I've tried every single ST APN I can find, and still am not able to send/receiving any MMS's. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks.
P.S. If this is in the wrong area, I apologize.

I am having the same issue. SMS works fine, no MMS. MMS just sits in Undelivered status.
Running rooted 4.4.2, S-OFF, Bulletproof Kernel.

unfortunately same for me. Already double checked APN settings and network types.
Tried many different APN from my carrier and still no MMS, mobile data is working good.
When I try to send/receive a MMS I can see the mobile data icon appear briefly but no data get transferred.
Already contacted my carrier. Tech support said my apn was properly set and that everything on their side was good (in my account).
I might try to downgrade my sw soon so I can see if its really 4.4.2 that is causing this. I'll report back.

Thanks for the replies! Glad it isn't just me. I've even tried using other Messenger apps, but still nothing.

Same here. HTC ONE at&t on Straight Talk service. No mms after update. This is so frustrating! I was on the phone with ST yesterday for a few hours and they are all clueless on how to fix it. The only advice I got was to downgrade back to 4.3

I've noticed this issue since T-Mobile updated mine to 4.4.2. However, I think I've figured out a workaround. I had checked APN, everything was fine. But, I use wi-fi most of the time. I couldn't receive any MMS, people would say they sent me stuff but I never got it, or I'd get a message that "can't be downloaded". So, when I was talking to a friend, I had him send me an MMS. I didn't get it. But, I turned off the Wi-Fi and suddenly the MMS appeared. We tested it over and over again. With wi-fi connected I can't receive MMS, as soon as wi-fi disconnects, the MMS are immediately downloaded. A big bug in the 4.4.2 I think.

I'm on ATT - not straight talk. Running ViperOne 5.7, which is a Sense 4.4.2 ROM. Group MMS stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Have tried Hangouts, Stock Messages, and EvolveSMS. Played with APN settings, tried the wi-fi on/off trick, no luck. The strange thing that I have noticed is that every time I restart the device, it goes ahead and sends/receives all the MMS before going back to not working.

ST had me go into me browse (?) and delete the cache, cookies, etc. They apparently tell everyone that. Does not work. This makes no freaking sense!
