Are you running stock or or a custom ROM?
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
stock, but rooted.
What does the exact message say when you try to send it?
Have you called your phone network yet to see if its a problem on their end?
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
edit: just tried to send one again to check the message, the exact error message i get is: "Can't send message right now. There are too many unsent multimedia messages"
I called AT&T and they said they didnt know, everything looks fine and for me to call tech support.
but i have never had luck with any cell phone tech support, so decided to come here first.

I trawled through loads of old messaging conversations and managed to find two failed MMS messages in some conversations. I deleted these and now it's working.

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.

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!

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 am having a issue that started today for some reason. When I try to send a text message or any kind of message for that matter from the messaging program that comes on the phone....the message just sits there and say sending..... underneath what you are trying to send. So that tells me its hanging and net getting out. I can receive message with no problems. Can anyone direct me of what to do to correct it ? I have made sure all my settings in Network settings are the way they are suppose to be like they have been all along. Any help or directions or ideas would be so great. Thanks for your time.

silly question but you'll be surprised... have you tried rebooting?
wipe caches?
fix permissions?
3rd party messenger?
yeah I have went over all that. I have checked all the messaging settings/permissions. I have rebooted a number of times. I have cleaned out all cache that I can...even with deep cleaner apps from the market. I even tried to install and use the handcent messaging app from the market and I get the same results. I try to send a text and the message notifier just sits there and spins because it is not going through. Again though, I can receive messages. this is really beginning to upset me.

well i did something tonight and it corrected everything. I installed a new rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2-t989. Its called the Tuesday Rom. It works really awesome. My phone is sickly much quicker and system storage and my main gig drive space increased because this new rom requires less space to install. Check it out. awesome !!!!! Look for the video on youtube..search these keywords.....Tuesday ROM for T-mobile Galaxy S2! [SGH-T989]
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

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.

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.

Kind of like the photos in gallery. I here some complaints about old pics not showing up. But mine has been working perfect.
I am thinking about wiping everything and starting on the latest build just to see. But who knows!

On cm10 clean install with the first nightly onward, I've never been able to send or receive MMS until the following finally worked for me on sprint. YMMV:
Got mms working finally by deleting mms.db and telephony.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony in databases folder (delete the 4 files in that directory). . I also happened to clear messaging app and phone app data by force stop and then clear data thru settings / apps / (scroll to rightmost category to find all apps / scroll down to find phone and messaging apps). Reboot Also did the voice dialer app --> open apns voice command and edit sprint mms proxy to 68.28.31.7 and mms port 80. Save (settings->save) and reboot. Not sure if all these steps needed or just first one.
UPDATE: It works but gets stuck again and requires a repeat of the above. Not sure this is really a fix.
