As the title states I'm having difficulties sending texts.
I received my replacement Nexus and activated it this morning using the same micro sim from the previous nexus. I also have the same stock 4.0.4 rom running on it but I'm having issues with texts not sending consistently. Once I receive a notification that it did not send I immediately attempt to resend the message. I can usually get it to go through by the 3rd attempt. I spoke with verizon and was told that there are a few tickets in my area for work on the voice network and once those are resolved it may fix my problem. Im just worried that I may have received a phone with a faulty radio. I haven't heard of this being a problem but I was curious if anyone else has had this problem with their nexus?

Hey guys,
Picked up a desire yesterday and its great, though I'm having some issues with sms. I notice I don't receive any texts until I send a text first, then I'll receive 2 or 3 texts, timestamped in the past, up to an hour ago!
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
edit: unrooted on o2
i get a similar problem, i know i should have received a text message but it doeant show up for hours.
unrooted on tmobile uk
Most likely when your phone is connected over GPRS the text don't come through till you disconnect, used to happen on my N95.
So if my phone is operating in GPRS mode, until it decides it doesn't need the internet anymore and disconnects, it won't retrieve texts... right. So any workarounds or fixes for this?
Prety much, after I use GPRS I just made a call and during or after the call my text came in.
Been getting this all day, are people really just dealing with this or is it only a few people that have this issue?
I am having another problem... on T-mobile, my phone won't download MMS messages. It will just say Download error, General Network Failure... After it expired (3days) , I was sent a link to the T-mobile website, where I am able to see it for 14 days.
Another problem that I am having, the phone is struggling sending long text messages... 4 or 5 normal lenght messages 500-600 characters... I am using the Text App provided with the phone.
I have a problem that I dont think is an actual problem I think its just how the phone works, and tbh its a bit rubbish.
If you dont have signal when you hit send (im my office at work I only get signal on a little square of the desk) the phone says "message not sent". Sometime when it gets signal it will send the message, but if it doesnt get signal quick enough it seems to just give up sending.... a bit lame really....
I'm going to post a message up with the T-mobile UK MMS settings so people in future can find it on search. Have a look in 5 mins.
JAmes.
I've got the same issue with my HTC Desire.
My operator is a Belgium one, namely Mobistar.
I've got the impression that when i open the sms box, i start seeing the messages. Don't know if it's the communication that goes wrong, or the 'throughput' in the phone (screen, alerting...).
After installing (and using of course) chompSMS, this problem is gone... yipppie...
Anyone who updated to the latest OTA (LI3) notice a huge delay when sending receiving text messages now? My wife's Sprint GS3 may take hours to receive SMS msgs. Sometimes they are instant, but last night, her sister texted her around 10pm and she didn't get it until 12:30am. This didn't happen until she got the OTA last week. Is there something I can do? I was going to uninstall Go Launcher and GoSMS Pro to see if it helped but she loves both apps and I don't see why they could be the culprit anyway. Unable to receive SMS msgs sounds like a Network issue to me?

I got a text Sunday morning that somebody had sent to me over a week prior.
Yesterday afternoon/evening, Sprint was having cell issues, at least in the Milwaukee. Data was working beautifully, but I wasn't getting calls (despite 3-4 bars of reception) and sent texts would occasionally elicit a "The message could not be delivered due to a temporary network setup error," response from some Sprint server somewhere.
Not sure if I should call Sprint Tech Support, Take it to a Sprint Store, or Take it in to Best Buy where she purchased it to have it looked at. I am just worried that if I take it in to a store to get fixed she will be without a phone for a few days while they take their sweet time working on it. Anyone have any experience with Sprint/Best Buy (Geek Squad) Tech Support and know how it works?
Also, I am not against Rooting. Both my Epic 4G and my 3VO were rooted, as well as her Photon, but I was really trying hard to not have to root either of our GS3's. But, perhaps rooting and reflashing back to stock and just not accepting the LI3 OTA will fix the issue?
Forgot to mention, one of our neighbors has an Airave at home and this is where the issues predominantly exist. Could the Airave have something to do with it? Maybe it's not playing nice with the latest LI3 Radio?
their was an outage thats why some messages were not going through.. all fixed now

I heard that the outage was in the Pacific Northwest. I am on the East Coast (Central NJ to be more specific). And data still works, it just seems to be SMS only that she is having issues with at home.
Hi all. I am not on AT&T so I apologize for posting here but I wasnt sure where else to seek help. Hopefully someone may have an idea.
I recently got a phone on the Pelephone network in Israel. It is a Galaxy S3.
I am able to send SMS texts with no problem. I am also able to receive texts from other phones in Israel no problem.
For the first day or two everything went OK but then suddenly I stopped receiving texts from my friends in the US. They receive mine, but I cannot receive theirs.
My company tried diagnosing this with carrier. They insist everything should work. All the right plans are activated, etc. They even swapped out the SIM. After that the SMS worked fine again for about a day, and then, like last time, stopped working...so people in the US can still receive mine, but I cannot receive their replies anymore.
They are replying in the same way as in the past (replying to my text) so it did work...it just stopped.
I have tried a factory reset which didnt help.
Any ideas?
My wife's Capitvate Glide stopped receiving texts a couple of days ago. The phone is running stock ICS, not rooted. She can send texts just fine, and she can make and receive phone calls. ATT says they don't see anything wrong on their end. I've tried rebooting, pulling the SIM and battery, but it still doesn't receive texts.
Hi
I found that as a possible answer:
AT&T indicated that it was a problem with the network registration, given every piece of my phone's communication worked except for receiving SMS. This turned out to be true. The solution was to put the sim card in another phone, which overrode the network registration for my number. After about a minute, the second phone received all of the texts that the first had not been able to get, and then I could move the sim card back into my regular phone and receive texts as normal.

The woman at the ATT store did that and it did fix it, sort of. Later in the day the phone was still receiving texts but could not send them - it just said "Failed". I pulled the battery for about 15-20 minutes and that issue was fixed.
I think we'll be getting a new phone for my wife soon...
I hate the Verizon message app, so I always used the samsung one, well I tried factory reset, cache,etc. The damn thing won't let me send group messages or send pics, any one else have this issue? It's driving me nuts, I use the group's reply for work and stuff. But it works in Verizon message app...
I can't answer your question as I did not like Samsung or Verizon's solution. I have used Textra for a long time and never have any problems.
I had this very same issue with my Verizon Note 8 and never figured out what caused it. If I would switch my sim from my Note 8 to my iPhone and back MMS would work briefly and then fail after a while. Verizon nor Samsung could help me, so I downloaded Textra and never looked back. Funny thing is when I first was dealing with this I couldn't find a single thread with any other owner reporting the issue now 4 months later I saw your post lol.
I just noticed that I'm having this exact issue as well. Re-flashed the entire stock Verizon firmware and still can't send MMS. I can receive but not send.
Is almost like it was sabotaged, so you had to use Verizon message app, I'll try textra, thanks for the help
Use Signal, I beg of you:

I second signal. Absolutely no issues so far. Very reliable
Same issue that stock app just stopped sending mms. But have to use due to watch compatibility.. Help?
Is anyone else having a problem with the badge showing up when you got a message? Im not getting any number on the icon to indicate there are unread messages....
I've been having a problem with mms since updating to oreo. Never had a problem before that. But I'm also having issues with data during calls.
