Been using my phone for a little over two weeks and texting just stopped working the other day. It can send texts but cannot receive them. I have 2 lines 2 phones. When I switch the sim card from the s4 active to my other phone texting works fine sending and receiving. When I use the sim from the other phone and put it in my s4 active it can send but not receive texts so I don't believe it's a issue with my service. It was rooted on MF3. I unrooted and did factory reset and texting issues still persist. Everything worked fine until the other day when I realized no one was texting me back. Mobile data is on. The phone can make and receive calls it can send texts just cannot receive. I use chomp sms but dont think it's the app since the stock messaging app isn't giving me any luck either. Can't figure this out
Update!
Lol just a few minutes after posting this question the phone lit up and all the texts I hadn't received yet just came flooding in. Switched sim cards back over and everything seems to be working fine again. Time to restore my backup yay I love this phone again lol :good:

Hello
On Wednesday, I was sending and receiving multiple texts all day just fine.
Now starting Thursday morning, i sent out some texts to 15 different people, all said they received it and texted back.
My phone has not received a single text since wednesday. It can do everything else, send texts, phone calls, etc.
I'm on cognition 4 ROM, i've tried hard resetting it multiple times, called ATT and they said I should be getting them but I am not. I have full service. They also said i'm not the first person to call about this problem. I've also put my SIM in another phone and still no texts received.
Any ways to fix this?

If you put the similar in another phone and you are still not getting them then it is a network issue. Are you using a 3rd party text app?

Nope. Stock texting.
That's what ATT is apparently telling me and it's pretty frustrating.
ATT needs to "re-activate" your phone.
I've had this problem 3 times. Sometimes it will take a few hours for all the old texts you missed to show up.
I had the same issue. Went to the ATT store told them I called customer service and that customer service said i needed a new SIM card. Got a new SIM card - problem solved. Then almost immediately all my texts started showing up.

I agree. Sounds like a bad sim card, especially considering you didn't receive texts in the other phone you put your sim in.
Well... To begin, I'm unrooted, and use Handcent as my only sms/mms messenger.
My last phone was the Evo 3D, rooted with the stock rom. Unsure if that has something to do with it or not.
I used to send MMS while in a call all the time with my 3D without issue. I can only assume that it was sending over wifi. I was/am always connected to my wifi at home, where I typically am on the phone and trying to send MMS at the same time.
For some reason, on my One, it has to wait until I'm off of a call before it sends MMS. SMS goes through just fine.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Nothing? ^^;
Just wondering if anyone can figure this out. Boggling my mind, and a little irritating, since I used to be able to on my old phone.

Maybe it's the way Sprint does talk + data, because on my One on AT&T I am able to send and receive texts while I am on a call.
Well... I can send and receive texts during a call just fine, whether I'm on WiFi or network. It's just MMS that doesn't seem to download, or send for that matter, while I'm in a call.
I suppose I can understand not being able to send images through SMS while in a call, but I used to be able to at least do it while in a call and on WiFi with my Evo 3D. Just don't know why it should be different with the One.

regular sms (textra) will take minutes to send, usually failing once or twice. i was just informed that the failed texts are actually sending. this problem is new in the last 2 days and it's KILLING ME, any advice would be great.
edit: i have wifi calling and VoLTE off
further edit: this issue persists with and without data and wifi on and off. i've tried every combination. and when texts do send, they take at least 30 seconds to go through. i've been texting my google voice number and they're received on there before they're even marked sent on my phone. i'm in nyc, with full 4g LTE connection
Call customer service. Could be something they need to reset on their end. I had the same problem with my wife's note 3. They fixed it shortly after I called.

I'm using Textra with T-Mobile just fine!
Hey everyone. I just got my global unlocked Mi Mix (6gb, 256gb), and I can't receive texts. I'm on At&T, and I'm getting 4g VoLTE all the time. I can send texts, and I can make and receive calls, but I'm not getting any texts that are sent to me. I've tried switching to 3g, and I've tried the stock messaging app, Google Messenger, and Textra. Nothing has fixed the problem. I really want to keep this phone, but I have to be able to receive texts.
Anyone have suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I have this same problem. To make matters worse - mine happens intermittently too. For example, sometimes I could be texting someone and receive some of their texts, then suddenly a few texts in I no longer get their responses. Not sure what's going on.
I suspect it has to do with the Contact Manager APK, but not sure how or why.

Are you on ATT? And if this is a software issue, putting on a custom ROM might resolve it. I guess.
I've got texting working now. I did two things and I don't know which is the solution.
First, I put my sim in an ATT phone I had laying around. I sent some texts and took some calls on that phone. Then I put the sim back in my phone while wifi was turned off. I did this whole thing because I saw a thread on an ATT forum regarding the same SMS issue but with a different phone. The ATT moderator suggested doing those steps.
Second, I downloaded Pulse and set it as my default SMS app. So far, texting is now working without any problems.
I cannot receive sms
I recently installed Noble ROM 2.2 and love it. However, from time to time I can't send or receive text messages.
Now, I can't pinpoint exactly when this happens. I usually notice it when an SMS (not MMS) sits there trying to send and I get an error:
"Currently unable to send your message. It will be sent when the service becomes available."
However, I have two (2) bars of cell service and can make/send calls just fine.
One of two things seems to "jog" the messages into sending/receiving:
1) rebooting the phone, or
2) making a phone call (I just noticed this for the first time today)
Any ideas?
I don't think it is the ROM. I am using Ting (T-mobile SIM card), which Ting just replaced in case that was the problem. Thanks.
