Can't send or receive texts - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey has this happened to anyone? Phone calls work data works but can't send or receive texts... I sent a text at 8am and now at 10am it won't send any... is it carrier related? I didn't change anything from when it was working to now ...

I had the same problem, but it was because I acidently deleted the smsc number. You can try to take out your sim put in another one restart your phone and switch back again. If that dont work you might have deleted the smsc number from your sim.
Then you have to contact your carrier and get the number. Type *#*#4636#*#* and type in the number in the smsc section. Press update then refresh.
I am not sure this is your problem but its my best guess. You can also try another sms app to see if it is a problem with the stock one.
Hope this helps. Also search around the forum. Alot of threads on this problem

try downloading anycut from the market. once installed open it and select new shortcut...activity...find apns or apn and create a shortcut. once it says created go to your home screen and find it. it should say apns or apn. click it and you should see sprint with a circle next to it...click the circle so that it becomes selected. exit and try to send text. if it doesnt work reboot and try again. You can also edit it as well

Thanks! That worked for me but can you tell me why?
I don't know why it is. I am still learning myself. But for some reason in the kernel or Rom it doesn't activate it all of the time. I am looking forward to bubbys write up on making custom kernels in the developers section. Glad it worked for you. I don't know if there is a thank you button for me somewhere but if there is please tap it.
Didn't work for me. Thanks anyways. I think I'm just going to call sprint to get a new one.

Did an PRL and Profile update and I am back good as new. I had to do this when I first got teh phone because I could not send MMS. Afterwards, I flash roms and so on and just finally got to the flash I like and could not send.
Did the same PRL and Profile update and was able to send them again with ease.
Sprint picturemail has been down since last night
sent from my DAMN ET4G!!!!
Nice! I just did the prl and profile update and sent it. Thanks man!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
See my issue isn't that I can't receive the messages, it just says downloading and that is it. I haven't had any issues sending them at all like others. Any one else have issues not being able to receive messages?
Try opening messages hit settings and unselect auto retrieve. Now the next time you get a picture mail tap download and see if it downloads. Also try the prl update and profile update as well that was posted by someone earlier.

SMS Problems

Hi guys,
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.0.4
Recently my Nexus has failed to send any texts. Everytime I try, it just says "Message not sent." I can receive texts, just not send them. Everything else mobile network related is fine, including data, phone calls, and the like. I was just wondering whether you guys would know anything I could do.
Thanks a lot,
Zengster6474

SMS Not working while data on.

This is my problem for almost a week. I can only send sms if i turn off my data package or if im conected to wifi. When im using my phone's data package (4G) i cant send sms. MMS works fine always. Problem is i cant be conected to wifi all the time or turnining off/on my data to use sms.
It happens on GB or ICS. I also returned to stock via odin and the problem is still there. I tested my sim on my other phone and everything works perfect. I can send sms no matter if my 4G shows on. But not in this phone. So it seems is not SIM related. I called tmobile and after endless steps and instructions i reboot my phone. It sent only 1 sms and second try failed...until now. I checked my Message Center number and its correct. When sms fails and i look into status it shows error code 1. Can somebody please help me???? I been using SEARCH...for a week....tried everythig i found Now...i need to ask for ur expertise.....thanks a lot in advance.

Hmmmmm i have no idea why this is lol. Have you tried using other sms apps like gosms and handcent?
For go sms you need to check the box that says your stock sms is uninstalled. Handcent uses their own service instead of stock's. Try those two out

Right now companies cant send sms while is connected to 4g ,
It is by nature that the modem to turn the 4g radio off , send the sms and turn it back up, u dont see it cuz it happends in a seconds. Or something like that

SOLVED!!!! S3 Text Message Issues

So I looked through the forums and didn't see the problem I am having. I am using GoSMSPro on my rooted S3 and when I text one of my friends who is using ATT I get her replies from a totally different number. I wasn't sure who it was at first so I texted the number back and a different lady replied saying she didn't text me. Long story short I have already been to a Sprint store with no luck, but now when i text my friend not only are the replies coming in from a different number but my texts to her are showing a number that's not mine. Any ideas as to what is going on?? Thanks in advance.

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
I would suggest going back to unrooted stock jellybean and see if the problem exist.
If it does it's either Sprints problem or a ATT issue.
Does it happen with all numbers or just 1 person?

No only happens with this one number... I text a 215 number and get a reply from a 267 number, I am texting from a 618 number but it shows as a 801 number.....

Did you try using the stock messaging app to see if it's not an app issue? It sounds like a network issue, however
Tried using the stock messaging app this weekend and still got the same weird numbers
Re: S3 Text Message Issues
Try un installing the Gosms app. Then wipe data on your stock messaging app (make sure you use some back up app to save any messages you need to save) then reboot the phone and test it using the stock messaging app. I think this will clear your problem.

Is the person in your contacts?

Yes the person I am texting is a contact. The random number i get with her reply is not a contact.
Re: S3 Text Message Issues
As long as your contacts are synced to Google try wiping cache and data for contact app. I had a goofy issue like that once and that took care of it

Nice, put "SOLVED" in your thread title please (edit the first post and you have this option) so that others who have issues can solve it

Messaging app on stock problems

Does anyone else have issues writing text that are longer than one sms long? If so, is there a fix. This app has had the same issues on each update.
Another problem is when I go to compose a new text and I am typing the person's name in the contacts box it won't show the phone number I am trying to send a message to. It happens when I text my wife. I will type her name and it will show every other phone number she has but her cell phone. Can't seem to figure it out. I went into the contacts app and set her cell as the preferred number and that didn't fix it. I don't think that issue can easily be recreated.
So those are the two issues. Also, are those issues on the custom roms? I would imagine they are at no fault to the devs.

I am a noob but wanted to try and duplicate your issues on my phone.
I am flashed stock ZVB. I use GOSMS but tested the stock messaging app for your questions. I sent 2 text messages that were over the character limit. One sent correctly (1 of 2 and 2 of 2) the other only sent the second half of the second message (2/2).
I did not notice any issues with contact names.
Hope this helps.
