What did I do now? Cant send/recieve sms/text messages!

As the title says having trouble sending or receiving texts. I could imagine this could be a number of things so I dont know where to start. I am running dutties software and kaiser tweak... think I tweaked something to stop letting me text?

I installed the O2 SMS Plus program, and for some reason it prevented me from getting texts. Just a thought.
Also, check your radio

Everything seems to be functioning... hmmm. This might be a hard reset issue. Although hopefully not as its a pain to reinstall everything. I turned on sent message notice and I get it so its trying to send em!

I completely hard reset my device to Dutties... still cant send and recieve texts!!!!

Whats your provider? Alot of AT&T people have been having issues recently with the data/messaging plan do you have another phone you can plug your sim card into and test?

If I had to wager a guess, I'd say that you have some corrupted directories on your actual storage card, which is why the hard reset didn't help.

Make sure your SMS message center number is correct, for your provider. Each provider has their own settings. If it's AT&T, you can go to http://wireless.att.com/support.
On that page you can find help for your device and SMS in particular. If you have a different provider, you're on your own.

Wow lot of great ideas here. My first plan of action is to load the new version of Dutty's on to see if that has an effect. I have checked the message number. I hate calling tech support because I always talk to some guy who's been with the company about a week and doesnt even know what the **** a tilt is. Hes like... who makes it. I say HTC. He asks whats that stand for? I say I have no ****ing clue. He says he needs a manager. Im like WTF!

I had the same problem before. I suggest calling your provider and make sure you have messaging turned on. Sounds dumb but i had switch data plan and it took off unlimited text mesaging (new data plan didnt have unlimteid text messaging as a bundle) one day and right after i flashed q-mobile. Thinking it was the rom the whole time it turned out i didnt have texxt messaging turned on.

you know......maybe before reflashing your phone or hard resetting it, maybe you should first pop the sim into another phone and see if you can actually sms or not

to late for that but Ill try that now

Ahhh it is my sim card!!!!!!!! Damnit I lost it alll via hard reset. Should have been more patient, now I gotta call those losers and biatch them out!

Called them up my text message plan somehow fell off my plan. -sigh- Now I lost all my games and apps. Owell I can update to the latest Dutty's!

captivate sms text problem

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.

[Q] Lag while receiving calls and SMS issue

Hi everyone, I'm using Stocklite v8 custom rom, I am facing following issues,
1. Even when I have good network coverage (around 59 dBm) there is a huge lag while receiving a call. A caller to my number have to wait for around 20 seconds to receive a call, so sometimes the caller may end the call thinking my number is unreachable.
2. I don't receive SMS many times especially from web (e. g. I have not received SMS in first attempt from google when they wanted to verify my account) . I checked all the settings from my service provider but they said everything is fine.
I logged a complaint to my network provider but they think everything is fine. I even bought new SIM card thinking if the old one is causing problem, but still facing the same issue.
Even before Stocklite I was using Apocalypse rom & I was facing the same issue. So is it Android that causing me the problem?
Plz help me. Thanks in advance.

[1] Did you tweak some clock speeds, coz sometimes in roms they tweak it when your phone sleeps its clock speeds go down like 100mhz then when screen is on its back to full speed. And why do you have to wait 20 seconds??
[2] Try to go to airplane mode and turn it off, reboot. If that didnt solve your problem then apply a pin to your sim card, when i did that i can recieve sms.
Hope this solves your problem

Thanks for the reply.
[1] Yes, I did check some of the clock speed tweaks & Minimum RAM tweak. But unchecked all these tweaks & then tried it but still the problem is persisting.
The problem is that sometimes when people call me they don't hear my caller tune for around 15-20 seconds & able to hear the tune after I receive the call although there is good network strength. So most of the people don't wait for that long thinking my number ain't reachable & end the call. But if they give another try just after the first attempt, they get a reception from me within 5 seconds I hope u got my point now.
[2] I did try that airplane mode trick but seems it's not working for me.
As I already said this issue doesn't occur everytime, but it happens randomly & very frequently. Also sometimes I get duplicate SMSs from my network provider. They checked everything from their end & confirmed that it's not a network related issue.
So, I believe it's my phone which is causing me this problem.

Try not using internet
Try not using internet when not in use..
try uninstalling apps which enables when a call is made or recieved like shaplus caller info and truecaller or call recorder.

I had installed call recorder once long time ago, but I have already uninstalled it. Other than that I have apps such as hangouts, clean master,google settings etc & rest are multimedia apps, but I don't know if they interfere during calls or not.
I have noticed one thing that the mentioned problem occurs mostly when my phone is in idle state, but it occurs when the screen is ON & when the phone is busy as well. I have already unchecked all the speed tweaks in my phone but still no solution found.

Thanks I actually found out that its the problem with the phone itself. I tried to check on other handset and I didn't face such issues.
But now I am facing another major issue.Whenever I change my sim card and insert it into another phone, my dad receives an sms from number that says my IMEI has been stolen and everyday my phone credits get deducted. I dont know whether i have ever enabled change sim alert option or not but I am unable to find out that option in my stocklite v8 rom.
Please tell me how to disable that option in my phone, I am running out of my credits.

Help, I can't receive any calls but no problems to make them.

Hello, everyone.
I need help with an issue I'm facing. My phone is not receiving any calls whatsoever and I don't know why. I can make calls without any problems, the issue is that I can't receive them.
I don't know when this started happening since I don't receive many calls, I don't know if it's a result of rooting the phone, because it's rooted, or what else can it be. I don't remember if the phone received calls before or immediately after being rooted.
I've tried flashing different modems but I haven't been successful. Also, I have gone through the settings and disabled everything that could be causing the calls to be blocked. I have also called T-Mobile and they disconnected and reconnected my phone to the network and I have gone to one store to have the sim card replaced and that didn't help either. I have wiped the cache and the Dalvik cache and nothing. The only option left that I know is to factory reset the phone wich I'm trying to avoid because I have a ton of apps and my home screens are already setup and folders created and I don't want to do all this setup again.
Here is the weird part. Under just this specific scenario I can make my phone receive calls.
Make a call to any phone
Hangup a couple of seconds after the other phone starts ringing.
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the call is terminated (lost) dial from the other phone (the one that was called in step 1). This should be within one second and no more after the call is lost.
If I follow this procedure then the call goes through and my note 4 receives it, but the call shall be made immediately after I hang up, otherwise it doesn't go through.
Does anybody have an idea of what could be happening?
Thanks!!

try this, go to settings all the down to calls and click on call rejection which says auto rejection turn that to off, ive had the Same problem and thats what help me out

SMS and MMS don't send.

Hello, how are you? I rooted the Note 8 with the SamFailV2.5 files from [ROOT][SNAPDRAGON] SamFAIL for Galaxy Note8[V2]. The phone was a brand new out of the box unlocked SM-N950U1 and I inserted a Verizon network sim card to use the phone on my family plan. I'm able to make and receive phone calls, and receive text messages, but not send SMS or MMS.
I've tried to enter " *#5005*7672# " in the keypad, I've tried " *#*#4636#*#* " as well; one of them tells me "connection problem or invalid MMI code," and the other tries to call that number and I get an automated failed call message. I've been unable to successfully make a new APN. I can "create" a new one, but I'm unable to find it on the list after I "save" it. I tried to switch to 3g only and that made everything worse, I was unable to make or recieve calls or texts on 3g. When I switched back to 4g,3g,2g,auto I had the same problem and had to reset the network connections to be able to make and receive calls and receive text--but still not able to send texts.
I'm not sure what the issue really is, what are your thoughts? One thing that I want to try is to edit the message center number to 316540951000 for verizon, but I don't know how. Is there a console command I can enter to change it? Am I heading in the wrong direction? Please help!
I followed the root directions on post #3 it said:
" VZW Custom CSCFeatures thanks to @louforgiveno
ATT,SPR,TMO re-enabled callerID and spam protect.
DO NOT FLASH CSC IF YOU WANT CUSTOM FEATURES! "
So I didn't flash a Verizon csc. How do I determine which csc to use, or is that not what I need? When I ran Odin PrinceComsy.exe and tried to select the csc I saw the log say it failed and that it was the for wrong model. The other thing I'm confused about is if I need to re-root the phone with nand erase all, or if I can just flash the csc by itself. How do I access the custom features from the root directions: "VZW Custom CSCFeatures" and "DO NOT FLASH CSC IF YOU WANT CUSTOM FEATURES"? Would that have the solution to the problem?
I've gotten a new sim card and rerooted the phone since I posted the question. Calls work fine, 16Mbs download with 7Mbs upload for data, but texts are still a problem. I tried different apps. With the Verizon messaging app I'm able to send mms and sms, but the outgoing texts are delivered 5 to 6 minutes after the send button is pressed. Incoming texts are received in seconds. I can't understand why the Verizon messaging app actually gets messages to go out when default and top rated messenger apps can't, nor why it takes 5 minutes for outgoing texts to be delivered. I'm happy about this progress, but its not completely fixed.
Advanced Signal Status app will not display the advanced menu.
I would like to share that choosing option 2 after dialing *228 will make connection problems worse, it's the reason I had to get a new sim card. After the *228 changes it was impossible to connect to lte networks, calls and texts stopped working aswell. Tier 2 of Verizon tech support told me a new sim card was the only way to restore connectivity.
What information can I provide to help find a solution? Where should I ask for help about this?
