I know this is a small issue but it has been bugging me.
While I text I notice that my personal icon that I set isn't there anymore. Instead it's just a box of grey.
Is there anyway to have a picture in there again?
i am having this problem too, any help?
Try checking to see if your phone number is properly set (Settings->Call settings->Additional settings->My phone number). Some of us have seen a problem with CM6 not being able to read our phone number off the SIM card, which causes a gray box to appear for our picture in the messaging app. After inputting your phone number once, you'll probably have to go back in and confirm it again on every reboot (i.e., go to the setting and just hit OK since the number should already be in the dialog box).

Duplicate issue needs help
I am having the same issue. I have the ATT fuze, however this is my third one. The first one was perfect until there was a party foul that took it away. The second one had a typing issue so I replaced it. This third one is doing the same as the above poster mentioned. My today screen will show that I have text messages waiting to be opened but when I navigate to the folder there is nothing in it. Performed a hard-reset but the same thing happened. Installed third party software and now I can view the messages and reply. I am not happy with this "bandaid" but it will temporarily do till this can be resolved. Please help.
ROM version: 1.95.502.5 WWE
ROM date: 10/20/08
there may be something wrong with your storage card
the storage card can, by any means, have nothing to do with it. i personally never had such a problem, so i can just guess:
sample situation:
- i receive an sms, i see a notification, with the sender and the first few words.
- instead of clicking read, i press the hardware mail button to open messaging and read the sms
- while having it opened, i delete it.
- i go back to home screen and there is still a message and a notification
now i have confused my phone showing me new messages, although i already read and deleted them.
that is the only way i could think of to even get in that situation.
btw. that is the same thing with missed calls. if i have a notification of a missed call and instead of clicking the notification i open the phone manually and look whose call i missed, i will still have the message on home screen, telling me, there was a call i didn't know about, although i already checked.
please make sure that the description above is not the case.
because that is a general bug/user mistake, since the notification service is not fully integrated in pocket outlook, sometimes it gives out older data if you bypassed it to get to your information. that is normal. next time you get a message, try clicking the notification and click read or save as read, and look what consequences that has in your messaging folder.
if then still there is no message to be found, right after you read it once, it is still probably an error in the communication between notification service and pocket outlook, but then it is not your fault anymore you'd probably have to flash another rom then,
OR
it is something completely different and you need to contact your carrier, that receiving sms doesn't work out for you, that either you get a new sim or other network settings need to be changed.
my solution
I made some changes using advance config and changed portrait and landscape mode to cleartype. the fuze does not work with cleartype in landscape mode. Turn that off and it begins to work.
Text Messages not displayed
I know this is a very old thread but did anyone come out with a solution.
I'm still using my Blue Angel and it's come up with this problem.
I think it was after I received an MMS message (the first I received).
hi guys,
Something strange happened to my Desire on Sunday and it has caused a few issues for me since.
The attahced pic shows a symbol in the notification bar that looks like a fence.
(I cannot attach the screen shot as i have not made enough posts but PM me if u wish to see the symbol and i can show u it)
Since this symbol has appeared all my texts have dissapeared and i am unable to send or receive texts.
Also when i go into my dialler my call history has cleared and when i try to using the quick input method of finding a contact (eg 3-2-3 for DAD) no contacts come up.
The phone does work to make calls but it can only be done by going into contacts and sleecting the number from there.
Anyone ever come across this before and know how to resolve it?
BTW i am using MIUI rom
TIA
Ok symbols will probably be different in a standard ROM but here is a list of what they are and what they mean http://htcdesireportal.com/htc-desire-android-notification-and-phone-icons/
SOunds like you are refering to the notification for SIM2 features. Possible sim fault. Call your telco and ask them to check you Bearer services for incoming and outgoing text and also to check your diameter router settings.
Sounds like Visitor Mode. Press Power Button and Disable.
Basically Semi locks down the phone if people want a look but you don't want them Using it for Calls/Texts/Other stuff.

Hey everyone. I'm having a big problem w/ my 16GB GSM Galaxy Nexus running bigxie's rooted, deodexed 4.1 rom, and I'm hoping you guys can help me.
Whenever I send a message, I get a "Message not sent" error in the notifications bar, and a red triangle w/ an exclamation point appears under the text of the text message. I have T-Mobile and I have FULL signal bars. I can make calls and this texting issue is the only problem I'm having. I installed this rom a few days ago and this problem just suddenly started today. When I send a text with the "Messaging" app, the area code (I live in the US) of the phone number disappears. So if the number in my phonebook is stored as:
"1 (areacode) sevendigit-phonenumber"
It instead shows up like this after I select the contact:
"1 sevendigit-phonenumber"
If I try and send a text by selecting the contact from the "People" app, it works just fine.
Last night I flashed the Popcorn kernel, but I then I also sent a text and it worked. I thought maybe somehow this might have something to do w/ the kernel or a rom (both unlikely), so just in case I re-flashed the STOCK 4.1 this time (the first rom, the one that appeared on ROM Manager the day of the Google I/O). Now I'm back to stock Jelly Bean everything (including kernel, and also the Jelly Bean baseband) but I'm still getting the problem. I tried clearing the "Messaging" app's data and cache, but nothing fixes the problem. I have a strong feeling that the cause of the error is because the "Messaging" app removes the area code from in front of the phone number, but now I can't remember if that's normal (did that happen in ICS?, did it happen before in JB?, I don't remember).
Has anyone else encountered such an error? Please help me.
I too am experiencing this issue running bigxie's 4.1 ROM on my 16 GB Galaxy Nexus.
I hope someone has a solution!
I think I may have fixed the problem for myself. It seems like in both the stock JB and also bigxie's rom, the "Messaging" app is doing some sort of mishandling of the phone numbers. Try changing one or some of your phone numbers in your contact list to this format: "(307) 456-7895" <-- parenthesis around the area code, then a space after the parenthesis, then the seven digit number with a dash (-) after the third. Try changing this format on Google Contacts, not on your phone. Then sync the contacts on your phone.
Try this with just one contact that wasn't previously working and please let me know what happens.
I'm having the same problems with the same rom and tried the same steps to fix it but it didn't work for me. Also tried going back to cm9, no luck.
Search for the setting for something like ##info#* or whatever. I blew mine out when I flashed a new rom (not the roms fault i did it not knowing better). Don't have time now to look but there are important settings for sending sms.

Hi
This damned *#*#4636#*#* menu!!!
I know, I shouldn't be messing with what I don't know but I moved from an iphone so that I could 'fiddle' with a phone hence the GNex.
Anyhow. I have been having serious issues in sorting this out until I pieced the information together in this post. None of this I can take credit for - as it is built on others work - I just put it together in one easily accessible place.
The problem is that this menu somehow wipes the SIM card's record of the SMSC number.
You can't just enter the SMS Centre number as it is, you have to convert it into something called PDU format (no idea what this is)
I have converted a number of UK SMS Centre numbers into the correct format below.
Method:
1. Go to phone dialpad.
2. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
3. Scroll down to the bit that says SMSC
4. Type your sixteen digit number in from the table below.
5. Press Update
6. Press Refresh
7. Press Back button to exit the app.
8. Test by sending an SMS
Hope that helps. The GNex doesn't give an option which is easily accessible from anywhere to change the SMSC number, downright silly as my 10 year old Nokia would let me do that.

PDU Decoder
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
I couldn't quite follow those directions, but my problem fixed itself without doing any of that. It just suddenly started working after I changed the format of the numbers in Google Contacts.
i tried these steps but no luck.. its simply the format of phone numbers.
this format is no good: +1 (123)-456-7891
this format is good: +1 123-456-7891
another solution is just to manually update each contacts.. i wish there was an app that does it automatically
install handcent sms app...go to undelivered SMS in menu...delete in any undelivered sms is there...it worked for me...
u can uninstall Handcent post that
I had the same problem , Can't send but can recieve sms ,
the problem presents since updating to jb 4.2.2 ,but it was working in 4.1.2
I tried the smsc solution but no luck at all ,
I think it's not a carrier problem cause i can send from Moto Defy "CM7.2 " ,but no luck with JB
Plz help
Another Fix
Tried all the fixes I could find with no luck. Then found out that I had enabled Google Voice+ to send SMS messages through Google Voice. After I disabled this everything went back to normal.
Just another thing to try that worked for me.
I know this is somewhat old but wanted to say for me, that the messages were being sent but there was one stuck in the queue. I followed the directions of installing handcent and found the empty text sitting in the queue... like a draft message. Once removed the message went away. I uninstalled handcent and all is good. It sucks that the stock JB 4.2 messaging app doesn't have a outbox and draft box to find stuff like this. Thanks for the help!

Hi,
So I have been having this issue since I first started messing around with JB, and I thought it was fixed in CM10 because I haven't ran into it in a while, but it just happened to me again.
So the scenario is... I have a conversation with someone, their # is (123)456-7890 and everything is fine. I can attach stuff from the menu just fine, but if I am in another app and use the share menu and choose messaging I am prompted to enter who to share it with. If I enter the person and hit send, the message gets added to the conversation but the message is sent to #456-7890 with no area code. So of course the text never gets there. Additionally, that conversation seems to be permanently altered afterwards with the no area code number instead of an actual contact.
Is this a known issue? Am I the only one?

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be because the contact in question number was formatted with the parens around the area code. I changed it to just numbers and now I can text again. Kind of a PITA though, I don't want to go through all my contacts and change them.
I've been flashing random ROMS lately for note 2, and i've been running beanstalk 4.4 without any issues for about one week. All of a sudden, i have no service. On lock screen it says, 'emergency calls only". I reverted back to the original 4.3 Bell rom, which also unrooted my phone, and still no luck. My IMEI is correct, and so is my serial number (however before reverting back to stock my IMEI was 'null' and serial number didn't match. As of now, my phone number, IMEI, serial number are all accurate, but I just can't get any service. I've went to my carrier, and they tried everything, including trying different sims etc....but can't get any service? My sim card is fine too. I didnt backup EFS, nor do i know if there is any problem with the EFS components.
However, i just remembered something. The day my phone stopped getting service, i vaguely remember clicking on the terminal emulator app just to see what it was all about. I must have clicked somewhere on there, because suddenly i had a notification that said i had 140 new text messages (all my messages came up as new messages in the notification bar). I would try to clear the notifications, but the text message icon in the notification bar would persistently keep popping up immediately, saying i had 140 new text messages. I didn't know what to do, so i went to application manager and disabled the terminal emulator app, and this stopped the new text message notifications.
Now, i don't know if this caused the issue of not getting any service, but its the only thing outside the norm that i did to my phone. If anyone has any ideas on possible solutions, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.
