I was wondering if anybody else has seen this issue. When I rooted my phone and installed my first custom ROM, I installed ChompSMS as I had purchased it some time ago. But when I tried to send a text using it, it would not send but would receive. I had to use the stock messaging app to send messages.I finally had to just remove it. I installed Handcent SMS instead and it worked fine. I newer version of the ROM can out and I decided to do a clean install. After doing this, Handcent SMS would no longer send messages but would receive. I had to use the stock messaging app again to send messages. I removed Handcent and thought I would try ChompSMS again and sure enough it works now. Is this particular ATT or the note 2 or something else entirely?

have you tried just unistalling either app then reinstalling it. when you say you are updating/changing roms are you restoring from an app or just downloading everything over again?
it maybe the way you are restoring the app its self. or maybe even just clearing cache and data from the chomp or handcent and reboot to see if that clears it up. i dont think this issue is tied to the phone.
I was installing the app from the play store.. I have tried removing and installing again, and I even tried restoring a backup from TB from a date when it worked. I restored without data and then with and that didn't help either.
and this was even happening on your stock Rom?
or not until you went to a custom rom?
Never tried it on the stock rom. The stock rom was only on it long enough to get from the ATT store to the house. I rooted it and customized it right away. I seem to recall this same issue happening on my original note a couple of times. I will try to get some more info to post here.

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!
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

Yes it could be. Some data was not completely compatible with the GB leaks, especially EH17. I could not restore my email accounts...had to manually put them back in. Have you updated profile and PRL?
No I haven't done that but i'm not on sprint i'm on cricket. Should I still do it

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?

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?

haha yes. its never a good idea to restore system data

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...
My S3 is the latest stock rooted with Root66. Everything was working great today. I was able to send texts without issue. Just in the past hour, all my texts hang at sending. When I restarted the phone, it will send. I downloaded Handcent from the Play Store and it downloaded, but would not kick over to installing. After I restarted the phone, installation finished. I have not installed any new apps. This happens with both the stock messaging app and Handcent. I am looking at a text now that has been sending for the past 9 minutes. I have checked the settings, pulled the battery, and pulled the SIM and nothing has worked. Also tried deleting all the threads. Anyone else having issues? This is on T-Mobile.
Think I might have found the issue. The Smooth Calendar app automatically updated. I uninstalled it and everything seems to work better.
Youre right that is a problem.
Might I suggest flashing a new rom?
4.2 CMMod is good but with a few bugs.
Touchwiz roms..usually stable and a bit faster then the stock rom.
Maybe that will solve you're problem.
That or you might have been in an area where u had no signal lol

Today, my MMS stopped working. It was fine yesterday immediately after rooting. My APN did not change, etc. It's been working fine ever since I got the phone.
I unfroze the stock messaging app and tried to send an MMS to myself per Textra support and wasn't able to, failed.
Any ideas?
Try restart, if no fix then reinstall textra and the stock messaging app by disable and enable again, if none works a factory reset is last resort

Thanks. I froze and unfroze Textra and it's related apps (one is an emoji add-on, etc.) and then rebooted. I don't want anything to do with the stock app, so I froze it and left it frozen. We'll see what happens.
I hate doing factory resets...but I guess with root it's not so bad to restore all the apps, etc.
Thanks @wadamean. After freezing/unfreezing and a reboot, I had no MMS prompts from Textra all evening and night. However, I can't seem to send group messages or a picture to myself.
Crap, really don't want to do a factory reset. So much work...
EDIT: It was AdBlock Plus. I removed it and rebooted and people started to get spammed by my failed MMS attempts.
What a POS app. Note to self, stay far away.

You rooted both phones? If so, you may need to set your APN settings manually...other than that I'm not sure what it could be.
You could use AdAway instead. Or as I've recently discovered, rBrowser.

That app is a good idea, however sometimes I need to go to sites that it blocks, so I just block ads on my router, and when I need ads, I just use my mobile data. I won't install adblock on my phone.
