Got my Galaxy Nexus today (LTE/CDMA version) and I've been able to get all the different functions working except for being able to text. I can make calls, download, upload, sync, etc. I rooted it initially, but before that I couldn't send any texts either. Right now I have the Peter Alfonso Toro IMM30B (4.0.4 stock Rooted) version running on my phone. I've tried turning off WIFI, turning off the 4g, putting it on airplane mode and back on, removing the battery, turning off and on the mobile data, and trying different 3rd party apps but still no luck in getting texts to send.
Bump for help, I really need it
Had this on Galaxy S - This might work: search play for 'Nitratility' and download it. Then click 'restore efs' - Don't know if this will help but worth a try

@OP SMS and MMS work very differently.
If your MMS is not working, it is likely because you have not set the right APN. Go to Settings>More>Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and make sure you have right right apn for Verizon mms set in there.
If your SMS is not working, it is likely due to the SMSC number being messed up. See the radio thread in the general section. There should be a link in the first post that tells you how to get the right smsc number and enter it.

Hi guys
For some reason I can no longer send SMS, I have gone into *#*#4636#*#* in the past and may have stuffed up some settings, but im just not sure...im using liquidsmooth 1.25 so I could've messed something up whilst customizing here and there...any help is much appreciated
Thanks!

Okay, did a bit of research, finally everything is fixed...found this thread really helpful..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412261
Essentially, there is an ICS bug such that if you go into the hidden menu, your SMS carrier number is wiped...
To fix, one needs to obtain your telco's SMSC however this cannot be entered as a normal number, rather you need to go here
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
to convert it into a Hex number, is just simply the way SMS is transmitted...so what you do is at that site enter your SMSC in the bottom left hand corner including the + sign if your telco uses it, don't worry about the receiver or message, hit convert, grab the first 16 characters, note it may contain letters this is okay, but only take the first 16. You can backsolve and check if you did it correctly by using the first converter to reconvert back...
Go back into the hidden menu...type it in the SMSC, hit update, then refresh...wait a few seconds, close the prompt, check by sending an SMS again...it should work
Btw, any third party SMS apps also work as long it let's you manually enter a SMSC like GoSMS
Dunno why we don't have this option in our SMS stock app

I've got an AT&T GN2 running the stock 4.1.2 rom on top of the Perseus 3.0.36 (Alpha-36) kernel. I don't receive many MMS, so at first I thought it was a network issue. This evening I got several notifications that I had MMS that failed to download. It appears that I can not receive from iOS devices at all, and a picture sent from my friend's HTC OneX failed initially, but downloaded on the second attempt. I'm using the "Messaging" app that came installed on the device, not the AT&T Messaging app. I've rebooted and pulled the battery. I've tried switching WiFi on and off, and connected to my home network with no apparent change in symptoms. I can send pictures through MMS just A-OK. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Any ideas?
My friend has the same issue some say go to settings/more settings/mobile networks/access point names then press soft key press reset to default then reboot. It didn't solve my problem but it might solve yours. Or use Google hangouts. I know that it's been awhile but maybe someone else will stroll by.
Update: it turns out that he had a bad imei number set up, ATT is sending him a replacement.

Details:
Phone: Google galaxy nexus (the one before the nexus 4)
Android: Google stock 4.2.2 reinstalled with nexus tool kit after I updated to 4.3 and had multiple issues
Carrier: Straight Talk with an at&t sim
I just noticed yesterday that my text messages sms and mms was not sending or receiving but my phone shows that an sms message it sent but the target does not receive it. I an able to make and receive phone calls and data does work with wifi off. I have checked my apn several times and created a new one a few time to no avail. I have deleted all text threads and still did not work and finally I have factory rest my phone twice creating my apn before restoring and tried sending a text it says it sent but it is never recived. I have looked through many pages on xda-developers and on google and I have found nothing like my problem. any help will be appreciated thanks.
Additional information:
OK so I forgot to say that after reinstalling android 4.2.2 everything was working good. and I am using handcent as my messaging app and I have disabled the native messaging app. I have tried deleting handcent and use the native and the problem did not go away.
Update 2:
I found a thread that someone had the same issues that I'm having and what they had to do was change their smsc number and when I go to do that to mine it already has the right number in it.

I am unable to try this due to not having another unlocked gsm phone I can use. I try on a t-moble that was flashed to another network. the phone was able to see the network I needed but not able to connect to it.

I was running a custom rom for a bit and just popped onto the pc and flashed a new rom, after that it is no longer letting me send text messages or call anyone...
I have Data and Mobile Networking, I can receive texts and I can browse the web and download apps.
I can't even see my APN settings without Tweaker and when I tried to set the APN settings it still didn't work. It is the same settings already there too.
can anyone help me fix this... I'd be really glad I can't stand this.
What ROM? And have you updated your baseband?
OK Nexus 5x users. I have searched the web, I've searched the forum, I've searched everywhere I possibly can think of and still can't find a solution. I am on AT&T. I had an iPhone 6s before I bought my Nexus 5x, But from day one I'm not able to receive MMS messages consistently. Everything over 160 characters I don't get. I've tried everything I possibly can find, to no avail. I've messed with APN's, I don't have push bullet installed, I don't have any other text messaging app installed. I still have my iPhone 6s, and I've gone in and disabled face time as well as iMessage and iCloud, so on and so on and so on. I've even tried multiple text messaging apps just to see if that would help. I've installed two different operating systems, however both of them are based on 6.0 .1. For what ever reason no matter what I try no matter what I mess with I can't get any text message that are 161 characters or more to come through. When I reset phone to stock, I can get them to come through for about one minute and then I no longer can get them. I don't install any other apps and they just stop coming through. If I put my Sim card back in the iPhone 6s and make a few texts and then disable iMessage and FaceTime and iCloud again, I can get MMS messages for about one minute and then they stop coming through again. I can send MMS messages just fine I just can't receive them. I see multiple posts on the Internet about this issue with marshmallow. It seems like everybody is able to solve it, "but me". Does anybody on this forum have any idea what I can do to solve this issue?

sorry, are you on custom rom or stock now?
I was having mms issues in verizon. Incoming Mms were delayed for days. None of the recommended apn settings helped, switching between messenger and hangouts saw no change, turning wifi on and off, etc.
I set the apn to restore defaults and now it seems to work, when mobile data is on. Doesnt work when just wifi is on.
Question, is mms over wifi even a feature on Verizon? My Galaxy S4 did not send or receive mms if mobile data was off, one annoying feature because I usually just leave wifi on when home.
But then through some verizon update i could send and receive mms with mobile data disabled, I think it would switch mobile data on momentarily when an mms was incoming or outgoing.
So is there a way to get mms to work with mobile data off on the 5X on verizon?

My 5X does not send mms with mobile data turned off. My S3 was exactly the save before this phone. I'm on Verizon, stock rooted with Ex kernel installed. This didn't work on stock OOTB either. I get notifications if I receive mms and I just turn on my data at that point to download them, if it isn't enabled.

Since you are coming from the iPhone...I wonder if you have to de-register your number from imessages server?
