Text Message Not Sent

Hey ive posted this before but no one replied.
It happens on a daily basis, i get a message cannot be delivered error despite having signal.. and it then takes about 8 retries before it sends! im on orange on a generic handset!
anyone else had this problem?

Had a similar problem and am also on Orange with generic handset, seems to be occurring with low signal strength but takes a couple of goes to resent even with improved signal.

Not an orange fault, happening here on t mobile, very annoying.

It never happened on my nexus one..
Gosh i miss cynogen mods!

It happens on mine (3 in Australia), although if I leave it, it tries to resend itself and does so rather quickly. If I manually retry sending while it's retrying, the receiver gets multiple messages.
It doesn't happen that often for me, probably every couple of days, but like I said it beeps saying failed to send, then tries again and it works with no intervention from me.

Yeah i noticed sometimes it resends its self, but also before now ive had like 7 failed to send sound notifications without me touching anything
Though yeah i managed to tell my mom that i was on the bus 8 times the other day!

had the same problem, with t mobile Rom. however normally re send it self after one go, and doesn't happen as much as it used to.

Same problem here, using a Vodafone Australia SIM on a Telstra-branded Desire. Happens way too often, even in areas where I have good signal, on both 3G or GPRS.
Wondering if it's related to my issue where the data connection just stops worked occasionally (though still shows connected).

Same here on vodafone. Really annoying.

This is what I get on T-Mobile UK

Same here on Orange with Orange branded desire.

Like most people it seems, this happens to me once every few days. Sometimes a message will be really stubborn but will usually send if I manually retry.

Same here. 3UK on a Generic Desire.

used to get that ALL the time. basically on every message i used to send. worst thing was that they usually were sending an the recipient would receive the same message 3-4 times. since i upgraded to the desire though i've not had the problem once. i tried on multiple handsets before and same problem so the only thing i can assume that's made it better is the new sim card they sent out too. currently on orange uk using an orange branded desire flashed with the latest generic rom.

I've got the same problem too...i'm on t mobile. It seems to come and go so sometimes if i send a few messages in the space of a couple of minutes they will all not send the 1st time but send on the 2nd or 3rd attempt. But then other times it will be fine. Seems strange as it happens when signal is fine.

Ah, thought this was just me. 3 Mobile UK with a generic Desire here. Was sending messages this morning between 3 people and then it just decided it didn't want to send one message.

I sometimes have the same problem with sending more than one page text message and have to manually resend it and it sends - mines a unbranded unit from CPW. Also while we are on the subject of text messages, is there anyway to prevent the auto changing from text message to MMS after 5 text pages?. I get free texts and I am having to stop at 5 pages otherwise it just converts to MMS. Very annoying tbh!.

After rooting unable to send MMS while on WiFi

After rooting I can't send a MMS while on wifi. My APNs are correctly defined. When i turn of wifi it works like a charm. Any Ideas?
Thx.

Tried deleting the username in the MMS APN and now it works with wifi on too. STRANGE!
Anybody has any idea what's the cause of this erratic behaviour?

Only worked once, not working anymore

I have this problem too........but I had the problem before rooting too.

I didn't have it before rooting. I specifically tried yesterday sending a MMS while on WiFi and it worked. Today on a rooted phone it's a no go.
It's strange that it went trough once, with no username. Doesn't make any sense to me...

What network you on? I have my unrooted desire on T-Mobile UK and cannot send MMS. In testing and trouble shooting with T-mobile I have only sent 3 successfully out of at least 50!!
I have spoken with my local T-Mobile shop and they tell me a large number of customers have been complaining about MMS send failures (even thought they seem to send).
I have put message notification on for MMS and they all end up status pending. I can however receive MMS and send to myself with no problems.
Anyone else seen similar problems?

My carrier is Mobitel, Slovenia.
Can anybody confirm that after rooting his MMS is still working while connected to wifi networks?

T-Mobile desire
I rooted (cant be sure if this problem was not present before tho),
found i had problems with mms, some would occasionally get through (using handcent) although 90% would not, even though they would apper to have left my handset ok.
Some i sent to my brother arrived at his phone saying "unsupported format" which is odd, most other times nothing at would arrive at all !!
i then unrooted and flashed with a generic HTC rom....mainly to fix the mms issue !
that didnt work, im still having the same problem!
ive recently bought a o2 simplicity sim and have requested an unlock code from t-mobile (mainly due to crap reception in my basement flat) but im hoping the problem is not haunting o2 users and will go away once i switch over networks
either that or a new official rom (hopefully with FroYo, flash and xvid support!) will do the trick
would be interested to know if any T-Mobile users who have the original t-mobile rom installed have had this problem, and anyone on an o2 sim
Pissing me off tho!
EDIT: have checked and double checked APNs, reinstalled them just in case and tried all the tricks ive heard others saying have cleared the issue

I have the same problem when using the HTC stock messages or Chomp SMS but using Handcent, every MMS is sent fine without problem.
I'm on Tmobile as well.

I'm thinking it might be a problem with the ROM.
For all you T-Mobile people, does it work if you flash the non branded HTC ROM?

Dunno if this helps but I send a photo from my desire via 3g to a non-desire phone and it worked. I guess that was a MMS. (Oddly, it seemed to send it as a slideshow of 1 photo, which I thought was a little odd but I've had that on other phones before.)

Poldie, yep that's a mms. Sending without wifi connected to a network works.

You wont be any better off on o2, I am having issues sending with stock messaging app, just wont go, it will with handcent and also my partner is on o2 simplicity and her sim in my phone also works and she is able to send pictures fine. has to be below a certain size though (think it is 300kb). Phone is rooted although had similar issue with non rooted phone but worse as could not receive fulll size mms either, can now rooted. Handcent will also work sending mms, just seemsto be an issue with the stock app and HTC messaging.

[Q] Text messages and calls not being received

I've been having a problem with receiving texts sometimes and I recently noticed that it happens with call apparently. The issue is that I'm texting people back and forth and then all of a sudden I wont receive messages for a long time (couple hours). At some point, someone's text message will push through all of the other ones all at the same time. Sometimes when I assume i'm having this issue, I will send a text to myself and it will push the other ones through as well. Recently though I was made aware that during this "outage", I also was not able to receive phone calls at all. The signal is strong at all times (3-4 bars). Also happens when I'm home all day and not changing locations when it will suddenly stop getting texts and calls. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I restarted the phone and changed cell towers with the Airplane mode many times and the issue continues to happen at random times. It is really inconvenient. Suggestions?
Technical details: I use the stock 4.1.1 Rom that comes with AT&T S3. I do have LTE in my area.

And now it has happened 3 days in a row but at different times of day. This is a huge problem for me as I use my phone a lot. Any help would be appreciated

You still have your IMEI number via settings -> about phone -> status?

TRy making sure yiur not in airplane mode. i was stuck in airplane for a week ._____________.:cyclops:

That's weird. Re-seat your SIM card, if that doesn't do anything then take a trip to your nearest AT&T store/dealer and have them swap out your SIM card and see if it still occurs after that.

I had a similar problem a while back and it happened to be a network problem with my carrier. Gave them a call and all is fine now.

It happend to me too. I went to att store and get new sim. No problem for last 15-20 days. Looks like i got stronger signal too.

Just to give anyone interested in this an update:
I went to the AT&T store today and told them my issue so they told me to go to the nearest AT&T device support center (which was really far away). People over there told me they heard about this issue many times over the past couple of months. The guy working there had a S3 and said he has the same problem. They received an email from the higher-ups this morning specifically talking about this random outage thing I have and that they are currently working on it. They were told to not exchange phones or sim cards because of this since it wont help. The issue involves a combination of Network and Jelly Bean software problems and happens on all new LTE devices that have Jelly Bean from AT&T. They told me to check periodically if there is a solution.
I guess I just gotta wait. Unless someone recommends a ROM that is not based on the latest AT&T jelly bean?

Bumping it up, both me and my wife have had this happen. From what im read its a pretty widespread deal.
Anyone know of a work around at least until they fix it?

Keep us updated
Same problem here - switched from Verizon to AT&T last month and started noticing this problem a few weeks ago. Back then a Google search didn't find much on it, but this thread looks promising.
Just to add my two cents: I'm on a rooted S3 with task650's AOKP (4.2.1) build 12.23.2012 (link). Made sure to flash the modem for my phone (I747UCLI5 from here). Problem: phone randomly won't receive calls or texts. Sometimes calling someone will fix it.
I read somewhere that on AT&T, calls and texts are received over 3G and sometimes phones have difficulty switching from 4G. Anyone know if this is true?

Do a full wipe /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik cache. And your problems should be gone 9 times out of 10 that's usually everybodys problem

Seems to still be working fine.

I started a thread on this also and just yesterday received some info from AT&T tech.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123974

guys,
it is an ATT issue,
here is a temp solution for a fix:
1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect
please see, post, comment here:

Had sort of issues like you. Did everything to fix it. Turned out my SIM couldn't register on the network of my operator (2g all fine, 3g mess up). If you call the support of your operator, they can look it up. Had to get a replacement SIM.
Try disable 3g and send a sms to someone, when I had 3g on it wouldn't deliver the sms. As soon it was disabled it could.
Not saying you got the same, but most of the issues you report are very familiar with what I got in past.

Well just tried to disable the data, but it didn't work. I just cant see why the problem should be caused by the sim since it worked fine with another rom yestaday?

It started with rooting the device by me. When I got the device I left it stock without root for 4 weeks, after that week I started to get this problem. From one on the other day. It didn't make sense at all.
I serious spent 5 months to fix this, I had made radio changes, RIL changes, ROM changes, removing root, had contact with services centers, had contact with operator, had contact with HTC and none of them worked or could provide a solution. Untill I got a (smart) girl on the phone at the operator support who told me to get a new sim card to see if the phone would register at the network then.
Thats why I say this to you, as none acctually knows what went wrong and you have exact same issues as me. In case you spent so much time to find it out while someone could have a solution available.

[Q] Telus T989 MMS/ Pic msg issues - help plz?

Hi folks,
Sometimes I can't receive picture messages and I can never send them to my wife's telus phone. They show up as white squares with no text included. Anybody had this or can provide suggestions? I have tried many things so far. Full story below...
Thanks
**************************
I have a Telus T989/ S2X. I have had it for 1.5 yrs and have flashed numerous ROMS since I rooted it about a year ago. Over this time I have had MMS issues on and off.
From early ICS ROMS (darkside) and now to Jelly Bean roms (CM10 nightly, Jedi Jelly, Slim-Star...and more) I have had a strange issue. I can send picture messages to almost everyone and receive from almost everyone. Occasionally I have an issue receiving from friends on the Rogers/ Fido network and it stalls at 'downloading'. I tried unchecking auto-retrieve and it does not fix it. I have also tried multiple radios on multiple roms.
More recently my msgs cannot be viewed when I send them to my wife's phone ( I know, a blessing sometimes right?). She is on the same network (Telus) and has no problem sending/ receiving from anyone. When I send to her it shows as a white/ blank square and none of the text I typed shows up. Regular text are no problem ever.
I called Telus support and they ran me through checking the APN settings and a bunch of other tests sending pics back and forth and no fix. They are going to escalate the problem. I tried the trick of sending yourself a picture via gmail too without any luck. I didn't tell them I was rooted and on 4.1.2....but I have tried tons of diff roms and done a bunch of searching on the forums and google.
Just today I tried the Koodo 4.0.4 rooted ROM with no luck. Then I got pissed off and backed everything up and rolled back to the Telus 2.3.5 Gingerbread ROM. Guess what? MMS worked just fine!!?? I double checked the APN settings and they were identical.
So....has anyone else had this issue? I don't want to be stuck on Gingerbread just to use MMS. Could it be that the newer versions of the MMS/ SMS have issues? I noticed that when I went back to 2.3.5 it said "converting to MMS" when I attached a pic. I never see that in any other ROM.
Any suggestions or solutions that people have come across? I am slightly frustrated....especially since my wife's Nexus S has no problems and my S2X is way better but failing.
Thanks for your time and thoughts folks!
CHBAD

maybe u were send pics that were larger than the network supports. Hypothetically telus may only support 5meg attachments while Rogers/Fido does 10 ( I think this is actually the case but I'm not 100% sure). Use a third party app like hand cent or gosms that supports MMS compression and see how u fair

It seems like some are getting through with Handcent. So the stock app in CM10 is not working then? I should try different size files maybe to see if that is a factor like you said.
