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?

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...

Hello all,
My son's EVO will not send MMS. When he tries to send a text with photo, he gets a failure with "generic network failure". We have tried it with wifi, 3G, with Handcent and the stock messaging app. We can't find any other problems, just that, as far as we know.
He rooted the phone using this procedure:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/54844-guide-rooting-3-7-hboot2-02-w-screen-shots-1-27-2011-a.html
and everything seemed fine, so his ROM is sprintlovers but maybe one version back from the current one.
So finally to my question - Can I flash a nandroid from my EVO (Vaelpak ROM) to his phone? I just want to see if I can send an MMS from his phone using my system. I figure if not, at least we probably ruled out a problem with his ROM.
Advice appreciated !!
Not a good idea, too many different numbers and variables, things can get worse if you mix software/harware/firmare stuff from different phones. I think there are a lot of little differences in the guts. I would make a nandroid backup and flash another rom right on his phone. Can't hurt to try
Dont do it, you will mess things up worse. Titanium Backups, yes. Nandroid, no.
Seconded... Nandroids don't flash from phone to phone. But Titanium Backup, will do the trick. Also make sure your incoming message size is set to 1mb... Are you using stock messenging or handcent?
In the send/mms setting, I set my cache to the 5MB for evo only, on handcent, never had a problem. Also don't place your backup onto his phone, because it will cause problems. I would try the method I suggested, or flash the newest sprint lovers rom if that's what he likes.

Yes, tried with 3G and with WiFi, didn't work either time. Of course, we've pulled the battery, etc. etc.
Should we try something like wiping caches? Clear app data? I'm at a loss.

Yes auto-retrieve is on. His "connection settings" (messaging>settings) look different than mine. His were all blank, where mine showed values below each setting. He is able to edit his, so he made them match mine. Unfortunately it did not fix the problem. Funny thing is my connection settings show but can't be changed.
EVO on VaelPak
Update - we backed up, factory reset, wiped cache, and flashed the latest Vaelpak. MMS worked but he missed all the sense stuff, so we flashed Sprint Lovers. Things seemed to be working. He was messing with settings last night when his phone shut down from battery drain. So he charged all night. Phone stuck on white evo screen when booting this morning, even after battery pulls. We did get into recovery tho, so wiped caches and reflashed SL again. Things seem OK again, we'll see... I wonder if he hosed something up when he was going through the root process. If he keeps having issues I'm gonna go through the whole process again just to make sure there weren't any issues with it...
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.

@Orion1222
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!
I'm not receiving text messages. Even when I reboot the phone I still don't get them. The only reason I know i'm not getting them is because the app text notify gives me a toast but the text message never appears in the messaging app or gives me a notification. I don't have any task killers installed. The only app I know of that affects my text messages is text notify. Is it because I sometimes run to many apps? Help please.

You'll need to provide a little more information about what you're running.
Like which ROM you're running and how did you flash it, which SMS app and how you set up your apps after flashing the ROM; did you do a restore of data or configure your apps manually after the flash.
Try removing the text notify app, clear cache and Dalvik Cache, clear data in Mms.apk and then try to have someone text you or go to Sprint website and text yourself. Nice trick for troubleshooting. Your text notify app might have old data in it that is sending you a notification. I get this on some games when flashing without clearing everything.
I'm running the Hurricane 1.5 ROM. I just flashed it less than a week ago. Buy this has been happening since the first gingerbread leak I flashed. Maybe even before that. I restored my apps with titanium backup and I restored by SMS with SMS backup. Could any of these be the problem

Hello People. Here's the scoop. I had a fully functional S-Off Rooted Sprint Evo 4G Running Deck's 1.3 or Cyanogen 7. I had Zero Issues up until 4 weeks ago. I noticed several of my contacts were not responding to texts. Quick phone call confirmed that no text was being received by these people. This happens to about 5% of my friends. It's the same contacts each time.
So, here's what I've tried.
-Searched EVERY Thread/Post/Forum about this and no one seems to have the EXACT same issue.
-Upon recommendation, I flashed the newest version of my ROM's Radios and Kernels (Was SavagedZen but Recently Usually Tiamat) No Change!
-Flashed a Rooted OTA from TheMikMik. Nothing!
-Each time I flashed I cleared Cache, Dalvik (Which Normally was enough) When devs requested Full Wipe, I did so.
-I tried flashing a Rooted Sense Rom, Provisioning, Updating PRL and all those goodies and NOTHING! Same Issue Persists
-Finally out of ideas I wiped phone, ran the S-On Patch, Reverted Bootloader to stock and unrooted fully. Updated all the PRL and Goodies again and, NOTHING! Same Issue Persists!
-Called Sprint and they tried some things and directed me to a Sprint Store. Went to Sprint Store and they updated HTC Software to 5.07. Nothing! Same Issue Persists! The Only Break I had was one time the operator from Sprint Customer Service sent a Refresh Signal to my phone, and those people with issues got 2 text messages from me! Then right back to Horrible, they never got one after. They said they couldn't figure it out and that it may be a hardware issue.
PS. The contacts that cannot receive messages from me can send them to me successfully as well as receive MMS from me. Only Outgoing SMS is dysfunctional to these contacts.
I'm lost. I've flashed many a ROM and learned a ton from you guys so hopefully someone can help!
I'm vacationing to NY in two days and need a fully functional phone before then, so hopefully we can figure this out in the next day

But anyways, it might now be your phone. Your friends probably have low connection or their service doesn't like to be compatible thus causing the issues. Besides that it may just be their phones and they don't realize it. When i say do i send YOURSELF 10 texts, all counting down like 10 9 8 7 blah blah blah, if you get all 10, then its NOT your phone. This still causes your signal to bounce it to satellite and towers etc but it gets sent to you. There's no short cut it takes so its as if your sending to a friend.
Nandroid your current setup, and than flash a mostly stock ROM like TommyTomatoe's Classic.
You don't need to sign into Google. You should start receiving your old SMS messages.
While on this ROM, update your profile and PRL. (Your messages may not come until these steps.)
Now use your nand to get back to your ROM. If you still do not receive SMS, you may have to repeat and do a fresh install of your ROM.

I have been having gmail and sms issues. When I send a text or email 5 out of 10 times it gets stuck on "sending" and never sends. I just tried what you outlined here and it seems to have worked. Easier for me because I am already using TommyTomatoe's Classic rom. I just didn't even think to see if I could update the pro and profile on this rom. Can it be done on any sense rom thats not plain stock?
Anyway...THANKS!!!!
here is a long shot..... if the messages that are not being sent are over 160char make sure you are have sms split selected in mms settings and if you are using a 3rd party messaging like gosms or handcent make sure those settings are matching in the stock app and 3rd party

It's all included... some reports say that with Sprint you need to flash, let it try to boot (it won't boot) and then dirty flash over top of it again and it should boot up

Just flashed the synergy ROM, and I could not get the phone to work. I re-flashed it several times, and tried all of the options in the setup before flashing. The data worked fine. The phone would dial Sprint customer svc for a second, and then say phone not yet activated. I had CM 10.1 on there, but that was not for me. I wish this would have worked, but I suspect someone here knows the fix. Maybe a bad download? It took 1.5 hours over slow hotel internet.

I've noticed this as well. I didn't think it would matter at all though. Everything works GREAT that I tried. BUT I found out after using it all day today, that it has a flaw with sending and receiving MMS... For me anyways. I can get on my 3G connection just fine and it pulls up websites, sends and receives emails. The phone also calls out just fine and sends and receives SMS no problem. Everything works great except for the MMS (be it pictures or an audio recording)
I've tried - Updating profile - didn't work
- switching my data connection from LTE/CDMA to just cdma.
- Wiping internal SD card (not just data/cache but the whole SD card VIA cwm) and reflash rom
- I don't know what else to try
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know what I may do to resolve it?
I've looked around and I got to the point where I entered in a special code which would reboot the phone and activate it. Too bad it didn't work and I had to restore the stock rom for it to do that process (Hope it doesn't charge me an activation fee)
Thanks so much for any input! I like the liquid smooth rom I'm on right now, but man I love the camera too much on the touchwiz roms and so far it seems like this synergy not only gives me the speed of aosp but the look of touchwiz and the note2 camera. Would be nice if i can get around this hurtle
Update on my above post
Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for this info! This new Synergy ROM is very nice, and I had not noticed the mms issue until today. Mine actually rebooted a few times while the messaging apps fought it out. I think I have it sorted now. I am glad I continued to try getting Synergy installed.
Same Problem

Thanks for the workaround hopefully they try to fix this in the next update. So I've had read that the next's update, the team will concentrate on Sprint :fingers-crossed:
The thread that you provide it, got me thinking allot and I'm afraid of restoring my phone to a backup I had made before installing Synergy Rom. Me thinking if I do something more I will end up having no service or phone number . I never seen this happen before

I guess my fear and guts were correct about my phone giving me a surprise ! Just restore my phone to my backup I made before installing Synergy Rom. Now knowing I can't activate my phone with stock rom =( Phone calls work, Sms seem to works when sending pictures and text. 4G is working but I can't activate my phone. Why? I'm going to start looking for info later on the day

Did you click the activate this device button under settings? That is completely not necessary.your phone its already activated otherwise you wouldn't even be able to make calls. The activate button is for when you first get the device it activates it on sprint's side
