Yesterday, mid conversation my SGS decided it wouldn't send any of my sms messages. Receiving sms messages is no problem and calls work fine both ways; MMS Messages also send with no issue. Data connections are fine, I've been receiving data through both edge and 3G. The only issue is that i can not send sms messages no matter what the length.
I was running Darky's ROM v9.2 but as an attempt to fix it i reflashed (wipe) to Darky's ROM v9.3, it did not fix the issue. I've tried sending them from different locations, flicking airplane mode on and off.
I've tried using both the stock Android messaging app and Handcent SMS App.
Does anyone have any insight on what is causing this, it's rather annoying and searching has been fruitless, i can't find anyone else who has even had this issue.
Thanks in advance, Tom.
Edit: I fixed the issue, my SMCS number had vanished.
Many Thanks to IronSingh of samsunggalaxysforum.com For hasty help!

Hello,
I got one error on this my phone after FR15 flash.
My phone is turned on, and I can send sms, call etc..
but I cannot recieve sms and phone calls. It tells me that my phone is shutted down.
Please help
EDIT:
I've tried following rom: [ROM] MoDaCo FR15 Fear Edition 8.2
Same problem also. sad.gif
Right now I'm not sure if this is ROM based problem sad.gif
But before this rom I didn't had this problem.
I would really like if someone can help.
Some calls I can recieve, some not. How the phone will tongue.gif
Since many users of Samsung Galaxy S Plus had similar problems i decided to open a new topic.
Short description:
Sometimes when i try to send an sms which has more than 160 characters i receive a notification with "Message not send".
The problem seems to be only when Network Mode is set on WCDMA (or Auto).
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9001XXKF8
Network: Orange Romania
Solutions
1) Update to Android 2.3.5+
or
2) Set Network Mode GSM
I have no idea why that would happen, I am starting to believe that Samsung has a poor radio in the i9001. Can you confirm the same in other messaging apps?
I would love to try but I have no SMSs in my plan, Vodafone -.-

I don't think that this bug is related to bad network coverage because first 160 characters are send. I tried sending sms from another network operator (Vodafone Romania), but i had the same results.
Bug also occurs using handcent app.
Lots of people have complained about that same bug here in finland. Different operators. Seems software bug.
2.3.3 to be exact. I never had that problem but i have flashed to 2.3.4.
Got same bug on 2.3.4.
I have had that bug in a 2.3.3 and now in a 2.3.4. It is not happening all the time, but it is present. In a 3G mode of course, in 2G everything is all right.
Eh. This is really stupid.
Software bugs in such an old phone ( for samsung since its close to Galaxy S)
I would understand this bugs at S II but here? .. hOpe we can fix it.
I got this error with internet turned complety off also..
Same

What about 2.3.5 firmware? Had anybody tested?
Some people have realised this probleem seems to be related to phone switching between 2g & 3g. As i don't have this problem...could someone try switching 3g off and then try to send longer sms.
Is this problem related to only android's message program as there's other in market..are they working better??
It's been already established that 3G is causing the problem, but switching 3G off everytime you want to send a text is just plain stupid.

What baseband do you have?
Same bug for many users in germany!
Hi!
I'm from germany and here are MANY people having this problem! (for those who speak german: Take a look at the I9000 or I9001 board at "Android-hilfe.de"). There where many, many, many suppostiions why this happens. The only fact that everybody had is that it only happens in "automatic" and "only WCDMA" mode. It NEVER happens in GSM-only! I thougt it was a german-only bug, as it wasn't mentioned here on this board. I helped myself by closing the data network mode (long press at power button) before sending a SMS. I hope sometime a firmware update will fix it!?!
hey guys, just got word here that the bug is solved with the KPG 2.3.5 firmware rom. so check it out

I have the same sms bug problem like the thread starter and it was resolve after flashing to 2.3.6 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319463)
the sms bug is not
The sms bug(2.3.3) is not a network problem,it is that it converts sms that is over 100 or so caracters ,to mms... and yes 2.3.5 it is sms bug free
ps.heloo,new on forum.
Even 2.3.4 is bug free

2.3.5 vodafone romania is not bug free
One might try switching following option from "Warning" to "Restricted"
Messaging -> Settings -> (MMS Settings) Creation mode
In theory, this should prohibit MMS creation and add another SMS body instead no matter which network type (2G or 3G) is selected.
I had it in 2.3.3 and 2.3.5, in 2.3.6 never had it
(And i'm talking about that it doesn't send the message the first time, not about 160 chars)
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??
