Failed sending messages (Error: General Error) HELP - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi All
Ever since the last update end of July I have been getting the transparent pop up in the middle of my screen "Failed sending messages (Error: General Error)" its on random times, not even sending a msg. I have cleared cache partion
And also done a factory restore.
this is at complete random times even when im on the home screen, the note still works as normal too, or rather i haven't had any other issues yet, apart from that pop up.
I can't find anything or what apps causing the issue.
If anyone can assist would be awesome.
TIA

Have you checked if the message centre number of your provider is still correct? Once had this problem. LJ

I've had the same issue on my unlocked Note 8 with T-Mobile service in southern California. Prior to this, I used to get some other error (I think it was regarding connection) but neither error notification appears to affect the phone's performance.

Problem receiving MMS (yes, I have data plan)

For a while now, I have been getting the notifications that I have an MMS message received. But when I go to retrieve it (through the notification dropdown) it just takes me to my messaging and it shows nothing new. Doesn't even show me who the message was from so I can maybe let them know I didn't get it.
Anyone else had this problem before or know how to fix it?
No one has approached me saying "hey, did u get my pic message" so it probably was just joke stuff that dint really matter, but it's still annoying not knowing what was sent. It's like the message just disappeared or something.
I remember it working just fine before rooting my phone 2 months ago.
I am currently running SuperD 1.93 but it has been happening since I first rooted, in which my first rom was CM 4.12.xxx
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Well, isn't a fix, but have you sat down with a friend and got them to text you to make sure? You might just be getting the random notification, but no actual text. I know if this was happening to me I would rather get a random notification rather than actually missing out on a text. Also, it would be nice to know which way to address this issue.

Have you tried Setting>Applications(sort all)>Messaging>Clear data?

I had a friend text me "im about to send u a picture" and got the notification, but the pic never appeared so I do not believe it is a false notice. It doesnt happen often either.

I've never tried that, but I will now. But I have wiped and reflashed my roms plenty of times, wouldn't that clear all the data anyway?
Last time I wiped and reflashed was less than a week ago...

I would guess it would, who knows, I had a ghost Gmail for weeks...
Ok so clearing the message data did not help. I sat next to a friend trying to send me a pic and it would show "Unknown: MMS Received"....I'm so lost as to what to do
bumping this as I've tried lots of things, and get this error myself too. I can at least send picture messages again, but I still can't receive.
Have you called t-mobile? I had the same problem and I tried everything. Decided to give them a call just as a last option and it was on there end.
And since you just rooted and it's happened only since you rooted I would go over everything you did.

Texting error "Delivery Report: Not requested" fails

I have installed the official Darky 7.0.1 ROM, with the OC/UV Charge Death fixed kernel for the past 5 days or so. it has been great. Until today when it turns out that I cannot send any texts at all.
The report on the message is "Delivery Report: Not requested".
I have looked at my APN settings and they all look the same as what is posted in the main sticky, was missing the password but that seems to make no difference.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening?
Seems like i have not sent a text since the 25th, but it should be working as I have had this ROM on since the 24th.
Any clues?
Thanks for any help.

Try this I had a problem one time when I couldn't send any messages at all and this fixed it.
push your message app
then the menu button and hit setting
go down to message center and make sure you have this +1312314810
If not put in in there then reboot

Mine was empty so I was able to put in +1312314810 without the # pound sign, but alas it did not fix it.
Is the Pound sign necessary? it kept rejecting it for me.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Text messaging problem

Hey guys, so today I decided to backup my texts and once I did that I started to delete messages from my phone (as I normally do without any problems). I know it can take literally forever for just one convo to delete especially if you have over TONS of messages, so i waited and waited for the 'deleting messages' box to disappear.
I left my phone doing it's thing whilst ocassiaonlly using the phone at the same time, obviously I didn't do anything in texts, but when I went back on messaging I noticed it was gone, so I tapped on messaging again only to find the 'opening conversation' to appear and its been stuck like that for ages, therefore I cannot access any of my texts yet..
Any advice on what to do? Is it really still opening conversations? (it's been about 15mins probably!) and I have no idea if it deleted one of my convo's fully.. Is it safe to turn the phone off & then back on perhaps? I don't want to risk losing anything...
Hope it all makes sense. Thanks!
EDIT: nevermind sorry, it literally just stopped with the opening conversation message and back up. My convo I tried to delete is still there though, so will try again and not touch anything this time! Sorry, please remove this thread if you wish!

Appreciate the response, but I thought I would ask to see if other people had the same experience and therefore can share the right way forward?

Oh my days, it's now probably been about 2 hours since I started deleting and its STILL doing it - is it supposed to take THIS long?
I had my phone showing messages from another conversation/recipient a few days ago. In this case, all alerts from my train operator about delays were showing as being sent from my wife.
Killing the task and reloading messaging seemed to fix it, but it now has me worried that such problems might one day see me getting corruption errors, although I don't really have any texts I couldn't afford to lose.

unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped

I am in a position where I'm unable to send text messages. When I try to I get the above error message or the message status keeps displaying as 'SENDING' but message never goes. I am able to make voice calls no problem. I have rebooted, force stopped the message app, all to no avail. I have been using the phone with no problems for months now and this happens out of the blue. Would really appreciate someone's help on this.
Regards
Ferg
May be it's caused due to one one of the mods installed, apps, or data corruption. Reflashing the rom should eliminate the problem.

Ooops bit embarrassed but posting this in case someone else makes the same mistake. But it seems the SMS I was responding to comes from a number which does not accept text messages. This was also causing other messages to be held up which explains why legit responses were slow to send. So hopefully problem is solved.
Will probably upgrade my slim bean rom next week hopefully it goes smoothly

Device may be monitored ??

Hi there,
I just noticed that on my Z3+ I have got a warning saying 'network may be monitored'. Once I click that I get "This device is managed by null"
My question is does anyone else have the same warning and if I should be worried ??
Thanks
I got that when I tried repairing my phone through the Sony Companion software. After seeing that, I just performed a normal factory reset and that went away. No clue what it is, but it's not there anymore.

Really? That's awfully strange. You're getting it in the pull down/notification drawer right? Mine was on the bottom of the shortcuts.
That's exactly where it is. I don't know if I should be worried incase my device it's actually monitored. It's says it's managed by null :/

Is the notification something serious ?? I tried to disabling the myxperia but still I seem to have it. It would take forever to do the PC repair and then to get all the apps back. I am just wondering if there is other way around it or I should just stop waring about it.

I'm thinking it's nothing to be worried... I wanted to do a reset bc phone has been a little inconsistent for me...also I'm OCD and hated seeing the words on drop down...

Imagine a thief holding your phone. 'Device may be monitored' is there to make him worried, not you ! Still you can deactivate the protection & then repair to get rid of it. But it's not worth the hassle IMO

Thanks very much. I think in that case I will hold off on resetting the phone one again. I have done it before but at the time I didn't know it was Myxperia and I ended up selecting it again.

Never looked at it that way. That will for sure make him give the phone back or at least try to return it. :good:
I had this on my Z4 Tablet too.
The fix is to factory reset the device and set up the Google account AFTER the initial setup wizard, not during.

I get the same message on my Moto X 2013, whenever I connect to a VPN. I think it's a 5.0 thing.
I get that too...

I've heard it has something to do with myXperia.... I've also heard of factory resets fixing it...
People ... You get this message after installing a custom CA certificate, eg. the one of the company you work for. Do you use WiFi with certificates or VPN? Then you've installed a custom CA certificate.
Just used Sony PC Companion to update to 28.0.A.8.251 and it fixed this and didn't loose any of my settings/data.
I had used My Xperia in the past and but had turned it off before updating.
I don't know if it is fixed in the update, or just the process of updating with my xperia turned off reset whatever was causing it to show.
