I have an unlocked At&T tilt and my service t-mobile. Lately my text messages have not been able to send. I can recieve text but i cannot reply. I'm thinkin its cuz i dropped my phone before but maybe thats not the case..Does anybody know what the problem is? I have full reception nd everything also when i try to send text. Thanks
Do you have the funds to send it?
Yeah i have unlimited texting. ive had the phone for like 3 months now. nd im just now experiencing this problem
This might be a longshot, but...
Do you happen to know if the people you are having problems with "Replying" to are using a Samsung phone?
I have three contacts in my list and am unable to reply to them. They are all using Samsung phones. Instead I have to create a new message each time I reply to them, which is quite cumbersome as I normaly turn of my phone right after sending, so I'd first read the "Your message could not be sent" notification a day or so later
I've tried replying to them with dumbphones aswell with the same problem, so I don't think it's WM specific though
I have no idea...everytime my message doesnt send, it says "error sychronizing". i dont know what that means but i know it has somethin to do with the active sync
Error sync?
Uhmm... are you sure your not using Outlook or something else? Might be you just selected wrong... But here are the tipical reasons why a mobile cannot send a text message:
-Lack of funds
-Config error (wrong message service center number, but normally config is auto)
-Lack of network connectivity
-Other phone disable, unavailable, disconnected
-Provider error
my phones done that a few times I just wait a few mn then try again and it usually works but on the otherhand trying to send and recive pics has always been a pain for me.
I dont know...i still have this problem. Sometimes it sends, but most of the time it doesnt. it pisses me off. everytime it doesnt send, it always says "error synchronizing". Maybe its cuz i have an unlocked phone?
That my be it. Because you know, you're the only one with an unlocked phone.
Seriously Have you tried a Hard Reset. Back up you stuff first.
You may try another ROM just to see if that ROM has a bug.
Same problem
hi i been having the same problem
steps i tried:
turn phone off and on
soft and hard reset
flashing new roms
inserting a different sim card. and they have no problem texting
take out all sd cards battery and turn phone off and on
and i am still unable to text it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. full reception and everything i can receive text from everyone but i cant reply to none. girlfriend has a samsung blackjack but we never had a problem texting eachother before and friends with iphones various phones but i still cannot send a text!EVERYTHING ON THE PHONE IS FINE EXCEPT TEXT!!!!
weird, Im having the same problem. Sometimes It says error sending message try again. When I touch the try again it sends again sometimes it doesnt send and sometimes it does send but they person recieves the message like 4 times. Its annoying..it recently started to do this. About 2 weeks ago roughly. I dont really remember. Im thinking about switching radios but I dont know which one to use. Im in Houston any suggestions?
Faced that before too
Either
you don't have good signal
Or
the contact name contains <> brackets as shown or other symbols in his/her name
You can try sending to a number 1st without opening the contacts
If it works, you have no settings problem and try changing the contacts name displayed
if not
try hard resetting
Good luck
EDIT: the above is for cannot be sent msg

I get this message every once in a great while on a stock Tilt. It's frustrating when I've typed in a really long message! Only once have I noticed that I lost my connection/signal.
This problem is almost as annoying as the fact that I can sit perfectly still in my living room, and go from full signal to one bar a dozen times during a conversation.
same thing is happening with me. the last couple days i would get peoples text messages late, and then today it started, where i couldnt sent text messages, and i would get that "cant send text" message.
and ive upgraded to a new rom, then it started to happen, i dunno if its the rom, my phone, or maybe my sim card.
I started having this issue 2 days ago and its driving me nuts. everything else works but I can't seem to send any text messages out. I can get messages from anyone but sending it out... I keep getting"your text message cannot be sent"
I too have flashed 3 different roms, radios, tried other sims all to no avail..
any other suggestions?
I'm having the same problem, anyone have a fix?

I was able to fix mine by turning off 3g. I have an unlocked Tilt on tmobile. Some how 3g in the comm manager got turned on and that was causing my issue. Not sure how it got turned on since I didn't have a 3g button but with Advanced Config I added 3g button turned 3g off and now all my text's work just as they use to.

I have a Tilt unlocked for Tmobile as well and am still having this problem since Friday. How exactly do you add the 3G button to the comm manager? Is there any other way to turn off the 3G setting? Thanks in advance.

Disabling 3G worked for me too. I turned it off using Comm Manager and text messages started to work fine!
For those of you who may not have the same version of Comm Manager, here is the registry key that apparently controls this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\UMTS\OpMode
This is a dword value. Set it to 1 to disable 3G, and to 0 to reenable it.
Remember, that you will need to power cycle the phone after changing this value.
EDIT: It looks like T-Mobile is doing some testing (confirmed for Seattle area) in anticipation of launching 3G network some time in the future. I'm pretty sure that these are related. Looks like all phones that support 3G are having issues with sending text messages.
Eh I had a weird error once. This error happened while I was sending a message and the other person was sending me a message. So what happened, I sent it again after I received the other message. But it stayed in my outbox, so it kept on sending the same message to her every couple minutes lol. I had to like delete the whole messaging inbox to make it stop.
I am currently using an At&t tilt, the concern is that when I receive a mms text message it says download so I attempt the download and nothing happens, I make another attempt and then it acts as if the message came through and then nothing. Any ideas?
bump thanks
well part of the mystery s that I cannot connect to Media net so without that I suppose it wont happen. I got the phone refurbished guess you get what you pay for or not
I have been having this problem. In low signal areas when I have one, sometimes even two bars this will happen. I try to send a text message and it says message not sent and puts a link for me to try again. The thing is sometimes (perhaps every time, I'm not even sure) the message actually did send. I discovered this when someone told me I send them multiple messages sometimes. Do I have some kind of auto retry message program in addition to the regular retry prompt? Does anyone else have this problem?

Just don't send again,
I think if it hasn't asked you to place your message in the drafts folder than it will automatically send the message again.

Nope windows mobile never automatically sends again upon failures (the old Palm OS did... if you, say, sent an SMS message right before entering an elevator/lift, and you lost connectivity, it would AUTOMATICALLY resend the message once you exited the lift and got connectivity back).
I usually send it later. You have to do it manually though.
My daughter is away at college and I helped her install Froyo on her Captivate. All but one thing works and it confuses me. I sent her a photo I took w/ my phone, and though she received the message, she's unable to view the photo.
Could somebody give me some things to have her check?
Thanks
By any chance did the message that she received come from her cell provider, stating that she received a picture message? I had the same thing happen and it turned out that I didn't have the "extra" mms picture/video package from my provider which didn't allow me to view the pictures or messages that ppl sent me from my phone. I had to log on to some website to see them. Not sure if this is the issue, just throwing it out out there.

I have my entire family on a data plan. All of us can send and receive text w/ pic messages at any time. She can no longer do this with the upgrade to 2.2.
hmm, that doesn't seem right. I had 2.2 and I was able to receive pictures so I can't see it being froyo. I would call her provider and let them know the issue. Sorry I couldn't be more help
edit: If she already hasn't done so, I would probably also do a Factory Reset, sometimes that helps clear up some bugs when upgrading
I had this same issue where pictures/video clips would not send/receive. This service goes via MMS (3G data) while voice & text via GSM/CDMA, i believe. I had a battery saving app called "JuiceDefender" that was turning off my 3G receiver (to save 'juice').. by doing so, MMS which requires 3G could not send/receive pictures or video clips. Make sure you can see the "3G" icon at top... just something to check.
Hey all,
Recently, my Galaxy will not download any sort of MMS messages, whether they be picture messages or part of group messages. The message will just be a pending download for a minute or two, then stop and say "Error: network error occurred". I have contacted AT&T tech support many times, where they reset my phone's connection to the network. I will get exactly two MMS to come through and then the problem starts again. Every third MMS, I have to contact tech support again.
My phone is rooted with towelroot, but I noticed the problem before I rooted it. Any suggestions on what this might be? I'm about at the point of trying a factory restore on the phone to see if it fixes it, but I'd rather not if at all possible. Thanks!
Try setting the apn for the phone. After installing a ROM from the international S5 my phone wouldn't download MMS. I fixed it by setting my apn.
