I am getting errors with my sms texts on my phone. I am able to receive them just fine, however I can not send them. I am running Blazer Rom v4.1 with Rogue Hitman 1.5 kernel. I have already tried fixing permissions as well as updating the PRL and profile. None of that helped. Any help is appreciated. P.S. Everything else on my phone is working just fine including making and receiving phone calls.
Is it text msgs or pic and vid msgs you're having trouble with? Try going to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete telephony.db. Reset your phone and let me know if that works.
It is the texts themselves I cannot send, although I haven't tried pic or video. I just deleted telephony.db. Lets hope this works =].
Nothing has changed since I deleted the file. I still get the same error message saying that my text is still sending, but it never goes through.
You may consider reflashing.

I was thinking of that, but I dont feel like setting everything up a
gain lol.
Then do a nandroid backup. After you flash, get appextractor from the market. I bought the key for it too. It will recover all you apps and the data. Its well worth the couple bucks.

I fixed the problem. I ended up reinstalling the rom and now it works fine. Thank you for helping.

Thanks MeWarning. I had been searching around for a solution for my phone and came across your post. There aren't a lot of things out there that mention failed texts. My stock Epic Touch would not send any text messages while roaming. I spent an hour on the phone with Sprint, the level 2 tech guy told me to put the phone in Sprint only mode, no help there. I did a factory reset, didn't fix it. So, I rooted the phone and tried deleting the telephony file and all is working now. My boss was having the same issue and that solution fixed his as well.

I updated to EB13 and everything seemed fine. Gps , internet, etc... I got a call and the person said they had texted me. So I did a test text to a few people and no one got it. It just shows sending. I can't send or get text. I can post on this site and other but, can't text. Thanks for any help.
Try installing eb13 again. My text messaging works fine.
Try using Handcent Sms. I had a problem like this on DK28 and ever since I used Handcent, I never had this problem.
I tried handcent and it hung up also. I shut down the phone and now texting works. I removed handcent and texting still work. Thank
I had the same problem. I did the ##3282# and checked my mutimedia. Everthing said "not set" and would not allow me to change it. I tried reflashing EB13, and also tried reflashing the modem. Still hasnt fixed it so I went back to DK28 and all is well.
I had the same problem. Updated PRL and Profile, rebooted a couple of times and the message finally sent and now works fine. Also wasn't getting emails without checking manually until today. Now they are coming regularly.

This is an issue that was present with DK28 as well. Unfortunately it is completely random and difficult to tell if the problem is present or not. The first time I installed DK28 I had this problem within about 10 texts. Reboot once or twice always gets the message to send. A later install (on a rom) and it took about a week to occur. Back on stock DK28 and it took over a month and about 250 texts to happen again. Installed EB13 and it took 2 days and about 10 texts to happen again.
I've tried every recommendation ever mentioned that I could find or was told, nothing corrects this issue permanently.
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!

Idk she said she deleted all conversations and tryed sending again with the same results. I got it to work the other day by forwarding the Kmart then deleting the one that wasn't sending, worked for a couple days then started with the error msg again.
She's on straight talk, running wicked sensations rom. It will be a few days till I see her and have 5he chance to try to figure out what's going on.

Has she tried a different MMS app ?
I had an issue with sending an MMS the other day, didn't get an error message though just wouldn't send. It turned out to be adblock plus. So if she has an adblocker on her phone try deleting it and restarting the phone.

I'll assume you aren't married and haven't learned how to smile and nood lol
There's got to be a way to make it look pink haha.
One possibility is to remove the secmms.apk reboot and then pull it from the zip and push it to system again, fix permissions, wipe cache, reboot. Maybe that will clear any lingering issues.

Need a little over a year and so is it right for me to I suppose people who get this error just can't send mms anymore, unless reverting with Odin to a completely stock ROM? Haha
Here's what worked for me. Have a Xiomi Redmi Note 3 Pro running latest MIUI developer ROM 7.3.23 and Android 6.0.1 on Rogers network in Canada
Couldnt figure out why I was getting this message only on this phone. My other phones with same SIM card had no issues (Sony Xperia Z Ultra, HTC M8).
Was about to do a factory reset when I came upon an old post. I
1) download the app "History Eraser" from the Play Store
2) open the app and make sure "clear all apps cache" box is CHECKED
3) next, scroll down SMS/MMS section and check boxes "SMS/MMS Draft" and "Failed SMS/MMS"
should delete any messages/other stuff you don't need and is clogging up your system.
Am able to send pics once more using the Xiomi. Good luck!
yep that was the fix for me.
Btw, 3rd party apps wont work on my Xiaomi phone to replace the existing messaging app for SMS and MMS. When I used Facebook messenger I could not send MMS and when I reverted back to the xiaomi messaging app all those attempted to send MMS in facebook messenger were put into the messaging app and I had to go through all my contacts and delete the MMS as they said 'Sending'. Once I removed all the MMS that had not sent it then worked properly again. What a PITA! if your messages aren't that important just delete every chat in your messaging app also works.
Saved me!

I too was about to do a factory reset on my Mate 9....when I stumbled on your text. Apparently the default SMS/MMS program "sees" failed sends in all other messaging apps (Skype? Viber" Google Voice) because I had ZERO failed messages in the default program. HISTORY ERASER stopped me from pulling the last remaining hairs on my head. Thanks.
So I am hoping someone else has this issue so I know I am not going crazy:
My phone, a few times of day, the messaging app, stock/hand cent/SMS pop up/go SMS/ chomp, I have tried all of them and they all do the same thing. I will be in the middle of a text conversation with someone and all of the sudden all my texts will disappear and all of my conversations will disappear. I cannot send a message or receive one and everything in the messaging app is blank.
I have tried wiping data and cache on the messaging app and hasn't worked. Tried a soft reset and hard reset and doesn't work. Took phone to sprint and they couldn't recreate issue. Ordered me a refurb phone and it is doing same thing.
Tried not restoring my Google account info and starting from scratch and it still does it. Only thing that makes the messages come back is a reboot of the phone and voila the messages are all back like nothing happened.
Please someone tell me how to fix this!

That's a weird bug. Haven't heard of or experienced anything like that. Good luck in your search for a resolution.
I am planning on flashing the new Synergy Rom for Galaxy s3, I see it is available for all carriers, but there is no dedicated thread for it on the sprint part, I see it is on the Verizon threat and it says works on all carriers....is there any other files I need to flash along with the main zip to make it work for sprint, or is that included all in that one zip.
source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499
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

Phone not yet activated message Sprint S3
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.

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
