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.

Could be carrier issue. Stock ROM? If non-stock, try another ROM or flash to the stock and see if persists. If so, call carrier.
I also get this - I get the message to say that MMS download is beginning and then it goes away for a couple of hours until the message finally appears. This is a T-mobile UK vario III on the stock ROM and in a good 3G/HSDPA area.
Not seen many other people with the problem though.

I'm on T-Mobile in the UK and get the same problem, I have noticed it seems to be even worse if activesync is working.
It can take up to a couple of hours to receive or send an MMS. I'm running the phone unmodified straight out of the box.
I am also on Tmobile UK network but have not noticed any significant delay sending or receiving MMS or SMS. I think the problems are more likely to be network or server related.
Just tested sending a VGA sized photo from my Kaiser to my wifes SE K610 by MMS and replying and in both cases the message was sent and received in under 2 minutes.
I have had SMS go missing for hours at a time in the past. The record for me is an SMS sent at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve which did not arrive until 4pm New Years Day. I put this down to network/server congestion. On the rare occasions I am unable to send an SMS or MMS straight away I have found cycling the Radio off and on sorts the problem out.
It can be dificult to pinpoint reasons for delays but the message may be delayed at any point between Senders Phone, Cell Tower, Carrier Network, Message server, Gateway, Receivers Message Server, Carrier Network, Cell Tower and Phone.
Greetings,
I purchased an unlocked 8925/Tilt over the weekend and had great success using it immediately on the TMobile network. This morning I noticed my SMS messages would not send. I could receive messages, but got the dreaded "Your text message cannot be sent." dialog.
I've checked the SMS Service Center number (via Settings / Phone / Services / Get Settings) and from what I can find via google it appears to be right.
I last used the SMS yesterday about 7 PM and it was fine. This morning at 7 am it gave me this message and has continued for the last 4 hours.
Anyone have any thoughts??
Thanks!
UPDATE: As it turns out the phone WILL send the SMS messages, but only when I have connected to a voice call.
Did you try a soft reset?
SMS not sending
Thanks for the reply.
I should have stated... I have performed a soft reset as well as a hard reset. I have verified the SMS Service Center number is correct as well.
Anyone else ever run into this?
Here's a stupid question, sorry if it offends: Have you tried multiple recipient numbers, i.e. perhaps the one that is failing is due to the number you're sending to, not your device?
cannot send SMS
Not a stupid question. I've tried numbers on different carriers with no luck.
I've called TMobile, and they want to me to try my Sim in another phone which I will have to try later this evening.
Just thought it was strange that it worked fine, I went to bed, and it quit working. Perhaps the Sim card went bad. I've had it a long time.
Tilt cannot send SMS away from home area
After days of testing, hard resetting and scanning this board I appear to have come up with the solution.
I installed "Advanced Config", adding a button to the Comm Manager for 3G and disabling 3G. Not an issue for me as 3G isn't available on TMobile in my area.
If I continue to have trouble I will try replacing the phonesettings.dll and changing the phone band as mentioned in this thread.
Thanks to help from this thread:

I've been having a similar issue for the past 4 days. I'm using dutty's 6.1 rom. I used to be able to send/receive sms and mms messages. One day, mms messages wouldn't work anymore so I did the auto connection setup in the settings panel and it corrected the mms problem. However, sms messages can't be sent out anymore. I always get the message "Your text cannot be sent." I can receive sms messages but cannot send them out. I've tried searching the forums and it seems like others are in the same boat. There is a thread stating that I should turn off 3g in my comm manager, but it is already disabled. I've tried sending the text message with 3g on and off. It doesn't work no matter what. I've also trying to setting the band of the phone for gsm 1800 like another thread had instructed, but that doesn't work either. It isn't a sim card problem because I can put it into another phone and send and receive them just fine.
Some one help me, please!
anyone have ideas?
figured it out. changed the setting back to gsm mode. i must've changed it to gprs somehow.
hey everyone! a unusual thing has been happening all morning. Every time i try to send a txt message it keeps saying "failed". i have restarted the phone already, i can still make calls but cant send messages. It was working fine all last night and just this morning it keeps displaying failed for everyone i text. ....the only new thing i have installed is Dialer One...hmmm...any ideas why this "failed" txts are happening?
just tried my sim card in my old back up phone...seems like its a issue either with my sim card..or Rogers is doing some sort of repairs or maintenance. :S
edit** i can txt through my old samsung phone but not the galaxy...
what time was that?
last night i had an issue with the voice mail service
seems like their server went down for a couple of hours
this morning tested it again and voice mail is back
I'm on Fido, and I had failed texts this morning as well. No problems now though, seems to be working again.
I have a lumia 822 and every time I try to text, I get a failed message.
I get to make calls and even get HSPA 3G data, but I just can't get texts to work
any help?
If you're doing anything outside of normal messages (long ones, multiple recipients, images, funny characters, etc.) it may be trying to use MMS instead, which sometimes requires some configuration. Check the Messaging settings to see if it's using MMS instead of SMS. Beyond that, try sending a very simple message to just one person. Better yet, have one person send a simple message to you, then try to reply (if you get it).
SMS uses a mechanism inherent in the way modern cell phones work. You don't even need a data connection for it; if you can send and receive calls, you can (in theory) send and receive texts.
If it's really not working, I'd suggest taking it back to the store; there's something wrong.
I read that it's an issue with the phones, but some have reported that there IS in fact a fix for it, was hoping someone here knew.
I can receive texts no problem but sending always fails.
What carrier are you using? I would contact them first, I had a similar issue with my Tmob 8X.
Any update on this issue? I recently switched to SimpleMobile from AT&T and the text messages are not getting sent. Incoming messages work fine!
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:
