You said alot but none of it was telling us anything we would need yo help you. You gave no information on your rom, kernel, radio, new apps installed, rooted, unrooted.
Please guys/gals. If you need help please provided the needed info to help you. Without it posts like this are useless and will not get help.

Its a setting on the sim I bet. Can't remember exactly but it happened to me. its something called the smsc its under usage-> phone under sgs tools

Call them up and tell them your texts aren't working. Probably a setting on their side.

Ironically, my problem is totally opposite; I can send texts, but can't receive. A friend is telling me there are problems with the AT&T Network themselves, though. :/

Seems lately ATT's networks have been ****ting themselves. Dropped calls left and right and texts that wont send. Just my experience in last two weeks.

i called rogers and it turns out there was a number missing in the message cent #... but now i can only text with the stock app not handscent... probably gonna try uninstalling and reinstalling

that didnt work and NONE of the text msging apps will send text they all fail (handcen, chomp, pansi, gosms) but the stock app will...

and they all started working randomly.. guess im good to go fornow

Check call center number is correct in mms app settings and also apn settings. Both of these are carrier dependant... so ensure you are using your carriers settings.

Beat me to it, but yeah check the call center #. I had this happen once before,
@lownox thanks again for your help the other nightits been working great, I actually had to do the same thing to my wifes cappy, which oddly enough I was running the very same setup on her phone flawlessly before she loaned it to her sister. ?

try to reset your phone

for rogers the fix is: *#*#4636#*#* click on phone info, scroll down to smsc, type in +17057969300, click update, if this doesnt work on your phone put sim into another rogers phone an update it that way

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.)

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 =)

Glad you got it working

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!

do you have google voice synced with sprint? the messages might be going to google voice

Missed Calls

Hello,
I'm on EE UK network and I keep getting text messages that i've missed a call even when i'm at home where i'm connected to wireless and also have 3 or 4 bars signal.
don;t understand why this keeps happening. I try calling my phone from another mobile and it works OK.
Any one know why this might happen?
Thanks

Are you sure its recent calls? Depending on your carrier it might log it and send it as a reminder later or something like that.

Problems like this are quicker to fix by wiping your phone, if you have data you want to backup either use titanium backup or do a nandroid backup (build into CWM)

I've wiped the phone but just found the problem still exists, any help with this will be appreciated. It's very annoying that people cant get through to me.

I read somewhere that the problem might be something to do with the 4g network. the network needs to switch from 4g to 3g to receive voice calls and if it doesn't switch quick enough, it results in a rejected/unconnected call but gives me a text to say someone couldn't get through.
is that possible?

I also have the same problem. While I was holding my device which had three bars of signal ,I was calling my number from a friend and kept getting the msg that it was not available, ..after 2 mins I received about 5 "missed call" messages. I think it's problem of EE though.

[Q] not receiving some sms on my phone

for the past few weeks i've been having trouble receiving some texts, i dont know what's happening.. I have an app called Mighty Text which allows me to sms from a computer or tablet. When using the app i realize that i get all my texts in the browser but my phone only alerts me about some sms received and neither do they show up the the stock messaging app...:crying::crying:
with this i have come to think that it's not the network causing the problem.. what else could be the problem?.
I'm currently on SlimBean 3.1 and i'm really loving this rom and would prefer not having to change roms...

It's not a ROM problem but a app or carrier problem. Your carrier most likely won't send your texts at 2 different places (unless specifically said). And when the app is on, you probably allow it to have priority over your text, therefor, it receives them instead of your phone.
Some carriers have apps like those on pc which will let you get your texts and such on both pc and your phone but I believe it has to be made by the carrier to allow it.

Can't call or receive and no sound

It's on stock rom and suddenly i couldn't make a call and apparently cannot receive either. If i try to make a call it goes back to dialer after 1s and if someone tries to call me it says the phone is closed.
Tried reseting it from the settings menu and from the fastboot menu and it's the same. The funny thing is, it can receive and send sms and mobile data works (even 4g). Another funny thing is there's no sound, i can't even play ringtones from settings, it says can't play the file and Youtube videos show an error message. Soundcloud website keeps jumping from a track to another without even starting one of them...
Did someone have this kind of issues with their One Mini 2?
Thanks.

yes you did sorry going blind.
At first i would say the calls issue would be a problem with your provider but since you have sound issues too,
my best advice would be send it off to HTC center for repair. when its hardware problems, they don't usually charge for it even when off warranty.
note you can run HTC diagnostic in your phone.
dial *#*#3424#*#* and you will enter in HTC Diagnostic menu 3424 means (DIAG)
