For the first few days of owning my device, I was perfectly able to receive text messages, however now, I cannot. I'm tried things like clearing cache but of to no resolution. Any help would be appreciated.
It might help to fix the issue if you can narrow down exactly where the problem is. Have you tried a different sim from friend/family? If that works then it may be a problem with your SIM/Provider. If that also doesn't work, then try a different messaging app like Truecaller, and make it the default. That should tell us if the problem is with your messaging app.

I don't think the issue is with the messaging app as all the other messaging apps I tried did not work, for example, google messages. I tried them sim in a friend's Iphone and it worked perfectly.
Okay, so your SIM works on other phones. Have you tried other sim on your phone? If that is working, then you could just get a replacement sim from your provider. It won't help to identify why it's happening, but atleast you'll have working SMS.
If that is also not working, then I have no clue. Maybe some expert can pitch in.

A couple of CM updates ago, my G1 started having some issues on sending SMS texts. It's been been completely crazy ever since.
Sometimes messages don't get sent, other times they're sent with a huge delay and on the other side, my gf says she's receiving multiple repeated messages from me without it actually appearing on my messaging log.
In other words: she's receiving the same message I had sent the previous day over and over again.
Has anyone had this kind of problem as of late?
Any help is appreciated!
no one has had this problem besides myself?
Sounds extremely weird, and I don't think I've seen it anywhere. Try wiping messagin data and cache from Settings->Applications->Manage Applications. Other then that... call and complaint to your provider.

I get the exact same problems!!
Are you in UK too?
Chances are it's the network as opposed to the phone.
Otherwise, I'd try clearing the cache (listed above) and if that fails to rectify the issue, ask others in your area if they have similar issues.
Call up the provider, maybe they can re-register your APNs.

Problem is G1s aren't sold in Portugal. They never made it. However, I may have changed from my manually configured APN to a predefined one from the CM mod. maybe that's the problem.
Either way, I'll investigate the APN settings and clear the messaging cache and report my results back.
Hi, I am a recently registered user but a longtime "lurker" on the Opal section of xda.
I've bought my girlfriend an opal, roughly a year ago, and in three months or so she started complaining about some issues of the phone:
- From time to time she cannot send me SMSs, she just keep receiving the "cannot send sms" error
When this happens, she usually:
- Cannot establish an outgoing call, and more important,
- She cannot even receive any incoming call despite the mobile being connected to the network, and free, so that the caller just get a "no answer" while she doesn't even have neither a missed call report nor any ringtone deployed.
- Receive incoming SMSs
I've already tried to solve the problem in various different ways, including(of course) looking for help in existing threads, flashing a new rom on the phone resetting more than once.
I'm just stuck on a dead point, as of now.
Do you have an idea on how to solve such issues?
The only "fix" we found was to activate airplane mode then deactivate it to restart the network connection.
I think it is something related to the radio part of the OS but i couldn't find different radios to flash on.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Paperboy,
your problem is contained into 2 possibilities:
Your Network Setting (the SMS provider number)
Your OS (most propable)
I guess the best remedy is to use the official ROM (WM 6.1 Professional). You may have used unstable ROMs that caused such a mess.
Unfortunately, I merely found the Arabic ROM (It can be changed to English from (Settings>> Multilanguage Support).
WM 6.1 Arabic ROM
Hope it helps somehow.
Actually, I think it's neither of two.
I checked more than once the provider settings, including the sms service center. Actually if it is not correct, she'd never be able to send messages, while the "hangs" are just...random.
On the os side, i think it's not a matter of roms, mainly because i flashed as a consequence of months of frustration with the original rom.
Any other ideas?
btw, thanks for your advice!

sorry, i know, i could not help...
At least I'm not alone! Let's hope the gurus have a solution!

Hey there. I cant help but laugh, I had the exact same problem when i first got my phone and I used to think its a problem with the network but it isn't, if you haven't changed the stock OS/ROM, thats your issue, Flash an new ROM and it should resolve your problem.
(I recommend the pajerm RC3 ROM)
(Take care to backup all data, use outlook to backup all your contacts and stuff).
If that doesn't resolve your problem, post back. Best o' luck.

Okay this issue is rather different, What is certain is that the issue is not on the software side. Either your phone is konk or its the service, check the same SIM on a different phone, see if you face the same issue, if you do then its your network (which I know You said is unlikely, but no harm in making sure right?) If on the other hand, the phone works perfectly fine, then you have a problem with your phone's hardware in which case you need to get it check and probably serviced, worst case, get the handset replaced (if its under warranty).
Best o' luck
Try THIS ROM and report...Has a variety of apps as add on...Hope it works for you.
I'll give a try!
Thank you anyway!

Dont lock your phone with the default windows lock.....(use S2U2)
I know its strange but this helps, and do restart your phone every third day....
Issue Not Solved, but figured out
The HTC opal is sort of incompatible with certain carriers around the world, and this issue does not apply to all opals, only some of them have an issue. For example my phone has this issue with Airtel in my country. The phone seems to work fine with every other carrier. I think I might have to change my damn network again!
is it possible to turn off the thread view in opal??pls hlp
I am not receiving SMS messages at times. A lot of the times when I don't receive SMS is at night for some reason but happens in the afternoon too just not as often. I use to run CM 12.1 I thought that might have been the problem so I flashed 6.0 and the problem persist. I change APN, messaging app, another factory reset, not use WIFI, change sim card, turn off enhanced LTE and still nothing.... anyone know how to fix the problem? Oh yeah, I'm on tmobile network
I have the same issue but I dont think so it is nexus. At least from my point of view. The problem is missing, delayed, broken/mixed messages from iphone users. I contact ot tmobile regarding this issue. They check everything is they couldn't find if there is any issue. I want to tell you that this is a 2nd nexus 6 i have. Problem seems to exist from iphone users. My friend when she text other people some of them aren't receiving some of her messages and she has Iphone 6s plus. She is the only one i have issue to receive messages or messages are delayed and mixed.
I don't seem to have a problem with iPhone users mostly android users especially note 4 users

I tried it. Even I tried textra and still using which didn't resolve the issue. I have problem to receive delayed/broken messages only from one person and that person has iphone 6 and it is on tmobile network. It is getting worse for her when she turn on imessage function.
Ok everyone figured I'd come here to where the experts live. Haven't been here in awhile.
Recently my S8, wifes S8, and our sons S8+ all have the same issues.
The first issue is texts get stuck "sending". This happens with WiFi on or off, with wifi calling on or off, and I even tried changing off LTE to just 4G/3G/2G and even 2g in settings to see if that would help. I'm on the latest firmware from TMO ending in QEF, well we all are.
The other one is apps like FB and others aren't alerting but they will show the number of alerts even after they've been checked. I've reinstalled these apps and the problem persists, and then I can reboot my phone or wifes phone and all the alerts start working again for awhile and then die eventually.
The texting issue though persists and is random when it will hang and when it doesn't.
According to TMO rep at the store it's a bug in the firmware with bixpy that was pushed out, but I frankly don't buy it and figured I'd hit the guru's up here and see if you guys have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance guys and gals....
I too have had the random "texts get stuck sending" issue. I haven't had it in a while though (now that I've said that I'm sure I will).
I unfortunately don't have any suggestions.
I ended up using googles version of messages due to this. Only on stock text app do i have any problems anymore. I also noticed on the stock app that my phone would say "sending" when the other side would actually get it, but it was at random.
You don't have a cellspot repeater or router do you? Last time I had it, my device was hung and needed reboots. Just a thought.
Thanks for the feedback, yes I have a cell spot, but I also have the issue other areas of town too with no real specific place thatbit always happens.
I'm going to reverse back from the qef firmware and see if that resolves things. This has been so annoying, and it just started about two weeks ago.
Thanks again everyone.
I have had the same issue with sending texts too. I have been using the stock messenger app. I may just switch to textra.
Same issue here. A temporary fix, try turning on airplane mode and off. Works for me a times
Also happening to me on the XAA firmware (have unlocked NA variant) with the stock messaging and Google messages.
So I'll ask the question begging to be asked (at least by me): How does one disable this messaging app and use "stock messaging" app?
Thanks in advance....

Just get a app disabler for Samsung from play store like BK Disabler.
If I were you, just download Android Messages. It's simple and fast.
However, I do not recommend disabling stock messaging, unless you don't like getting EAS (Amber/Weather/Presidential Alert)
Having the exact same issues and it's driving me crazy because I really like this phone. I don't get notifications for any of my apps but when I open them I can see the new messages. A reset seems to fix the problem but it only lasts about an hour before it starts doing the same thing. I've tried using different messaging apps but the same thing. And the fact that I don't get notifications for other apps it can't just be a text messaging issue right?
Happened to me for almost 2 months but haven't had an issue in about a week. Called t mobile, they created a ticket and said they'll be working on it. Few days after speaking to them, problem went away.
This has been happening intermitantly for me as well. It's been bad the past three days. I'm currently in coversations with T-mo's engineering team and they seem to be coming up with a bunch of dead ends. It's not a location based thing as it's been happening over a 20 mile radius in the past few days for me. Other people on T-mo network that I'm freinds with or I work with aren't having any problems. I'm wondering if just a fresh SIM card could solve it?
I have data connection although it seems a little sluggish compared to when I originally got the phone. Similar to OP I've tried all the "G's" modes, with wifi calling on, with it off, with cellular network preffered with wifi calling on and off. With Textra, with stock messaging app. I've factory reset to no avail. I've pulled and re-inserted the SIM card to no avail. This is incredibly frustrating for a flagship phone on a network where I've had no previous issues.
UPDATE: T-Mobile sent me a new SIM card and that seems to have cleared up the issues. Not sure if it just hapened to coincide with T-Mo tower fixes or anything else like that in my area but I'm back to normal operation. Anybody else experiencing this I recommend you push customer service to send you a new sim.
my husband and i are having a strange issue where we can message pictures and video clips to other people that don't have the s8, or aren't on tmobile and they'll send and receive just fine, but when we try to send to each other, the first attempt to send fails, but the second attempt goes through?

I am frequently experiencing that when I try to call or if someone is calling me, they cannot hear me but I can hear them clearly. When I try calling through Facebook Messenger, everything works fine though. It looks like the mic is losing functionality when calling through GSM. If I restart my phone, the mic works again as it should. I don't want to keep restarting my phone to make me heard in a call. Any suggestion what the problem might be? I have already reset my phone twice.
I have the same message.. Any solutions

I have the same problem. Phone has been sent in for service twice, now it is on its third travel. First time they just checked it and found nothing. No surprise, cause its not always a problem. Second time they changed the microphone and something else, but when I received it there was still no functioning microphone.
I have also heard others with same problem. Huawei should really look into it.
Happens if you switch from private space back to standard. Also may be linked to "always listening" Google assistant. Had the same problem on my ZTE Axon 7. It's software not hardware.
Restart if you have to use private spaces and also look what other apps may have mic access.

Hey did you find a solution for this as this is driving me insane. I'm missing important phone calls as they can't hear me but if I call through WhatsApp or messenger it's fine. Tried everything I can think of.
