Ok i have searched and searched and searched some more and can not find an answer. Hopefully i am placing this in the correct place.
I am currently running Synergy. I am having issues with receiving and sending pictures via messaging app (stock and I've also tried Handcent). I guess I can't even say its an issue, it just does not flat out work. I can not send or receive pictures.
When I receive a picture message, it comes through with a click able download button. Click it, and nothing happens for a few minutes. Them shortly after, I receive a notification stating, "Message not downloaded, Generic network failure"
Pretty much same goes for when trying to send one. It attaches fine and compresses for MMS but then I get pretty much the same notification a few minutes later, "Unable to send message after multiple attempts, Generic network failure."
I have attempted numerous ways of fixing this to no avail. I tried turning off WiFi, that didn't work. Re-flashed Rom, no go. I was thinking perhaps I need to update radios, pri,prl ect? I am trying to avoid a hard reset as i don't want to lose root. Any ideas on a fix?
I recently had this problem too. I found the fix here on the forum. If you have titanium back up you need to start it up. Click backup/restore then scroll down to [SMS/MMS PREFS] Messages 1.00. Click on that and then click wipe data. You will lose all your messages so back them up if you need them. Reboot your phone afterwards. This is what I did and it fixed this problem.

Thanks for the reply. That sure sounds like it would do the trick. I tried and it didn't work when I scroll down to mms preference in TB mine is 3.xxx (something) not 1.0 like you had said. Not sure what that's all about. I went ahead and cleared data anyway and rebooted. When I opened TB after restarting it still said I had 1 backup. So I'm thinking for some reason it didn't wipe it. Getting so frustrated.

TB seems to bring issues when restoring text messages from older versions of texting apps. The new stock version has a backup feature within...give it a shot and good luck!
Sorry it didn't work.

I tried the same thing and it didn't work at first. When following the post I didn't see any SMS/MMS/APN dialer that the post mentioned. I didn't see it because TB said the apps were ordered by name, but the sms/mms pref and apn dialer don't follow that rule.
Carefully look through and find both of them, then wipe the data and follow the rest of the #4 in the post.
I hope that helps!
hey everyone,
so this is actually for my girlfriends g2 and i haven't seen it in person yet, i'll see it tonight, but i figured i'd throw some feelers out there...
her g2, whenever she goes into the text messaging app, the whole screen except the top 1/4 (so she can see the status bar, the create new message, and the most recent text conversation). she's NOT rooted, totally stock and never upgraded to gingerbread. so the notification that she should upgrade has been popping up so she finally went ahead and let it upgrade today while she was at work and it seemed to all go fine she says but now that its rebooted and upgraded, the text message app is still exactly the same issue.
like i said i haven't seen it myself. any ideas? first things first is i was probably going to go in and force close the app. if that doesn't help i'm going to start clearing out her texts (who knows when the last time she cleared them out was). after that... not sure. any other ideas?
thanks!
Dave
This seems to be a common problem. I googled it and found others with that same problem. Didn't see any fixes, though. Try a third party texting app. Otherwise you may need to replace the screen. Could try rooting and flashing a custom rom as well.

Ok so I had just received a text. Went to open from the notification bar and when I did it just took me to the message home screen saying "no conversations". I tried using Handcent to see if it was a glitch in default app but nothing there. Tried restarting and powering off phone. Nothing!
But what's weird is that there is no way in hell it could have actually deleted all those messages that fast (I had a 1500 message thread with one person alone). It's almost as if it just lost access to them.
Yes my phone is rooted and I believe I'm running one of the AOKP roms (been a while since I switched that's why I'm not completely positive)
Never had anything like this happen before, I know the messages have to be there somewhere, it's impossible for a phone this slow to just instantly delete over 2000-3000 messages.
Thanks for any help!

Dont quote me on it but i think text messages are stored in a database in the /data/data/com.android.messaging. I removed messaging from mine and use handcent so i cant really look. Just look for something in /data/data with messaging in the name.
I've had that happen on my original Droid a few times. I think it's caused by a low space thing, (which is extremely common on this device) and I've never found a way to get the texts back if they weren't backed up somewhere else. I agree with you that it's odd how quickly it can delete that many texts, though.

Thanks for the responses guys.
Cmlusco, Yea I checked /data/data and there was nothing there.
godsmacked, But shouldn't I have gotten a low space warning beforehand? My phone seemed fine at the time of doing this. But whatever, I had nothing important there that I needed.
But I still hate having lost all of them, maybe I'm just sentimental and liked having some of those convos. Especially since one was with a special girl (gay I know but whatever)
That happened to my friend who has an Inc as well. I don't see any way to get them back. SMS backup works I think or you can download go SMS to backup as well.

I can verify this happened to me several times using the stock OS. Never happened after I rooted/CM7'd it.
Hello there,
I'm relatively new to XDA but I've heard that pretty much any problem can be solved through you guys. So here we go. I have an original HTC Incredible (hence the title) which is rooted and has the Android Business Gingersense 2.3.5 ROM installed. My problem is hard to explain, yet may be very simple. I simply cannot send or receive text messages to my knowledge.
So here are the details. Whenever I compose a text message in the native "Messages" app, I click send and the "Loading..." little window with the spinny circle pops up for a split second, disappears and nothing happens. It doesn't show me that the message was sent, nor does it give me an error message saying that it didn't send. Nothing. I have heard, however, from the people I sent the messages to that some of them did in fact go through, but I just didn't know they did cause it didn't show up on my screen. They also said they texted me back multiple times trying to get a hold of me to no avail, which is the other problem. I also cannot receive any messages. It may be that these issues are connected in some way but I am not sure.
Another problem. My native email app has the same sort of issue, only when I compose a message and hit send, it force closes the app saying, "an unexpected problem has occurred." Therefore I cannot send or receive emails as well. Quite inconvenient as many of you probably know.
One last issue involving the texting problem. May not have anything to do with the native sms app, but I believe there is still a possibility. I mainly text with Pinger's TextFree application, which not surprisingly has the same problem as the native app. Every time I try to send a message, NOTHING happens, yet I get reports from the people I "sent" the message to that they actually got the message and tried to get back up with me multiple times. Still, I didn't receive anything. But I did go on the web based version of the app and saw both of our messages between each other and the web app worked fine.
Any help at all is greatly appreciated and I hope I can get this resolved.
Thanks alot!
Almost sounds like a data/mms config problem. Are you able to receive any messages or emails at all?

Well, the weird part is, it goes on and off... like one minute I could receive SMS and email another minute I'm back to where I've been

I just flashed the new cynagenmod 9 to my Dinc, and can't received texts either. I can send them with no problem, but neither the native text program or the GOSms app are able to receive texts.
Any help?

Yes, did a complete wipe again, and reflashed 9.
Is it a radio problem?

Open the stock messaging app then hit menu - settings - connection settings, there will be 5 settings greyed out in there. What are the current settings for those 5?
Edit: Nevermind i forgot were talking about cm9, might not the same settings as sense. Better yet go to the market and download "apn backup and restore", do a backup and then go to the sdcard then the apn backup folder and then open the xml backup with a text editor and copy and paste its contents to here. You are on verizon correct?

Okay, I think I have figured it out. Before I reflashed, I deleted my Google account. Then, reflashed C9 and when prompted on reboot to sign into Google, I clicked "later".
So, now I received several test text messages I had sent the past 2 days.
So far, so good.
Also, when I restore from Titanium, I am only going to restore Apps, but not the System Data.
I think Google is somehow interfering with things. Maybe something funky with how my Google Voice is interacting with my phone. Who knows. Anyway, I will be sure to report back here to help others that may have similar problems.
Well, so far so good. When I re-installed Apps I de-selected Data.
Texting is fine now.
Perhaps it was the System Data from prior ROMs interfering with the current ROM?

haha yes. its never a good idea to restore system data

One more follow-up. I now Restored all data for the apps separately through Titanium.
Texting still works.
I think when I flashed the new C9 ROM, when I restored Apps+Data in Titanium, something got screwed up and thus the texting function got screwed up.
Now able to send SMS texts but NOT receive them
I'm reviving this thread.
I have checked out a few other threads, and this comes the closest to describing my issues with my rooted unlocked (SEC OFF) HTC Droid Incredible (version 1).
I did NOT change ROMs -- right after getting the DINC, I installed a rooted stock deodexed GB 2.3.4 ROM from DINC.DOES-IT.NET, and I have not touched the ROM since.
BTW, the ROM build is 4.06.605.3 CL 140944 release-keys
Ditto baseband radios, no change. Version: 2.15.10.07.07
I did recently update the kernel to a version of gingertiny that allows apps to record phone conversations without the speakerphone being turned on.
Old version: 2.6.35.14-gingertiny-v2+ Feb 2012
New Version: 2.6.35.14-gingertiny-v2 Nov 6 2012
It is POSSIBLE that the problems started with the change of kernel, because I don't use texting very much at all, but that was still a few weeks ago.
Based on what I have read on XDA, I went into Clockwork Mod 5.x Recovery, deleted and reformatted the data cache, and rebooted.
After that, I could SEND but NOT RECEIVE text SMS.
I had some doubts about whether all my calls were ringing through properly. I am still not entirely sure, but test calls from a landline and mobile phone did ring the phone, so maybe that is no longer (or maybe was not ever?) a problem.
I have seen suggestions to do everything from reinstalling ROM (being sure to restore only apps+data, NOT system data) to flashing a new radio to running *228 over-the-air update to manually upgrading the PRL list.
And then there is the question I have about the kernel change somehow being the culprit...
EDIT: One other thing I did right before changing the kernel was run Convert2Ext4 v2.0 using the "no data limit normal dalvik" version. My reason for running this was to get rid of the low memory/no memory warnings, lockups and crashes I was expriencing despite having over 300MB left out of 775MB on internal memory.
How should I go about trying to restore the ability to receive SMS without totally bricking or otherwise disrupting my DINC and causing more harm than good?
The SMS issue is not a kernel-related issue. I'm reading and re-reading the thread and I'm not 100% positive on what caused the issue for you. Also the convert mod would have no impact on phone related features (data/SMS/calls). Also on the convert mod, the 750MB internal memory (/data) partition is not what was causing the low storage, it's the 150MB /data/data partition that HTC uses for app data/libs/cache.
Process of elimination says go back to the previous kernel from February and see if you have the texting issue. Go back to the same exact build and see if that fixes it. I'd be surprised if the kernel change caused it as a lot of people are using gingertiny without issue.
Also a couple of other thoughts. Are you using the stock SMS app or a third party? Try uninstalling any third party SMS apps temporarily if you have them. Last suggestion is to call Verizon and see if they have a block on receiving SMS. I don't think they would since you can send them and it has to be customer initiated.
Also, no where in your post did it say you tested SMS, just that you couldn't receive them so I'm guessing your conclusion is from the fact that someone said they sent it and you didn't receive them.

Thanks for having a look in, Tiny.
I use PagePlus running off VZW towers. PagePlus service rep sent me an SMS while I was in contact with her by phone, she said it got deducted from by cash balance. The only thing is, it did not actually reach my phone!
I have only used the stock SMS app until just yesterday, when I installed Handcent SMS. That did not help. Will uninstall, but I doubt that will make a difference.
Will go back to the old gingertiny kernel and see what that does, and report back here.
If that doesn't do it, maybe it's time for a Touch of Blue ROM, with which many seem to be doing so wiell...
Ever since December 23rd or so, when I first rooted my stock Nexus 5X, Google Messenger has been behaving strangely. Long SMS messages have seemingly random characters attached to the end of them, which do not show up on the sender's end. The most common is a "¿", but occasionally I get a delta ∆ on the end. I cannot find anyone else with this problem either here or elsewhere online. Does anyone have ideas? It's not necessarily a problem, but it is a mysterious inconvenience.
I am running the latest update of Marshmallow (stock ROM), with systemless root (SuperSU 2.61 I believe) and TWRP recovery. Nothing else out of the ordinary. This did only become a problem after rooting my phone, which may be part of the problem. Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: it should be noted that while these are valid characters, they do not appear when searched for with Messenger's built-in search function.
just to be sure: these symbols appear on your end after receiving a sms? in that case it would be interesting to know what phones/apps the sender of those uses.
if this is the case with sms you have written, it could be useful to know what keyboard/input method you are using. did you restore your sms' and/or the messenger app from a previous backup?
first thing you could try is clearing the app data and maybe de-/reinstalling possible updates of it.
interested to see how your case turns out, since i never heard of anything like this.

Yes, they are on my end. It has happened so far with iPhone and Android senders using their stock messages application. And I have already cleared cache/data for Messenger with no change. It is a most unusual problem. I may just try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Also seeing this behavior occasionally, from both iPhone and Android senders. Haven't been able to figure out a pattern yet as it's only happened three times so far (three different senders, one time each). It's the strangest thing. I wish Messenger had some sort of bug reporting utility, since I've found several already.

I have switched to Textra indefinitely, as this does not solve the problem, but does support many features that Messenger is lacking. If you find a way to submit a bug report, I would be interested in that information
