a friend of mine has the lg optimus g on sprint, and so do a couple members of his family. they all report that sending a text less than 10ish characters results in error 97. however, they can receive all messages just fine.
another member of the family has a different phone with them on sprint but has no issues sending short texts.
i'm guessing this is a sprint issue, but does anyone have any thoughts on this?
thanks!

They need to update their device. It sounds like they're still running ICS which had a messaging bug.
Go into settings and see if an update is available
well i had rooted and installed shelnutt2's cm 10.1 on my friend's device (not necessarily in an attempt to fix the message issue, but to make it better) but he still got it. it didn't say "code 97" but just said like "error in sending message"

Is anyone having problems receiveings text msgs?
I'm not receiving my confirmation text from qik to enable video chat.
I am. I have been trying for days requesting it over and over and nothing happens
I am getting text from other people, but still no confirmation text from Qik. Are we the only two with this problem?
sms delay
anyone experiencing this?
no, everything's alright here in ....
Hi, just to report that here in Los Angeles everything's alright and working. Even here where I live I get 2 bars of 4G and just that is really, really FAST!!
anyone experiencing sms error code 107 class 2??
any suggestions? anyone??
I was having problems also. I ported my number from ATT and SMS reception/sending was spotty at best for the first 2.5 days or so (the sprint rep I called about this quoted 72 hours as the magic number)
Did you port your number from a different carrier?
yes I ported from AT&T also...but I am getting text from other people...just not Qik. I even tried verifying from my PC...still nothing.
I have not been able to get the SMS from Qik either...I just don't think they are sending it.
i'm having issues as well, can't receive or send mms to/from myself, droid incredible or iphone.
anyone have any answers???
Not a single problem here in Idaho

can you check the settings in your default messaging app... go to connections for mms and see if the two fields in the middle have [not set] listed or if they actually have entries. Mine say they aren't set.

Did you port as well? If you did go into system updates and update your PRL. I had my number ported and had this issue up until I did a PRL update.
I sent a message today and it said that it went to 2 pages which is like 200 characters, but my girlfriend said she only got part of it which i thought was weird, so i tried sending myself the same message and it gets cut off and only shows the last couple words (which are from the 2nd page) but doesnt show any of the first page. So im not sure if this is happening to anyone else but if you could test it to see if its not just me, if anyone knows why this is happening please let me know :/
My long messages get split, but I never see anything on my phone that says so. It sounds like you're using a non-stock messaging program and it's not working right.

Text mesages are limited to 160 characters. It's kinda like a Tweet. The phone displays it as one big message in the SMS app. So it's a failing on Sprint's part to not deliver the messages. It has happened to me as well. I'll get the 2nd part first etc.
No I'm using the stock messaging app but the tghing is I send a message maybe 156 characters long but my girlfriend satys she doesn't get it or anythinng. So I texted myself by typing in my phone number into the recipient field and I send my self the exact same message and get nothing back so I. Made a message that was 2 pages long and sent it but only got the 2nd part back and sometimes get nothing back. I believe I found the reason for all of it though, a week ago we received an airave from sprint because the service at our house was horrible and I believe the airave is causing the problems to my phhone. I went the the store and sent myself that 2 page long message from earlier and I got both parts and I resent the messages to my girlfriend and she got them perfectly with nothing missing. But when I got home it stopped working. So I believe there is something wrong with the airave device I received. Also I tested the messaging stuff with my moms phone (we have the same epic touch 4g) and got the exact same results as I did.
I've been having the same issue as stated by OP since owning the phone and I use the stock app. I'm thinking I need to go back to using the handcent app that I had on my hero since there was an option to split and send after 160
Sent from my SSGSIIE4GTuvwxyz!.....Should I touch my nose or walk a straight line now?

I actually tried it on handcent and it failed to send aswell so it's either the phone, service, or this airave thing I received from sprint

Since it works without the airave, I'm leaning toward it as the problem.

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.
Anyone else experience this on their M8? Group messaging worked fine last night. This morning I received (message not downloaded, generic network failure). I use the power saving feature and data connection is checked. Therefore, I'm assuming when this power feature is enabled and mms message are sent when the phone is not in use (when I'm sleeping) it causes these error and is unable to resolve itself.
I am able to send messages to other people, but not the ones I group message with. Has anyone else encountered this problem on their M8. Some of what I Google so far points to apn.
This what I get when one of my friends respond to my group text, followed by message not downloaded generic network failure
Same issue, troubleshooting all day with htc and tmobile, think i found solution
I have been dealing with this exact situation ALL DAY. Unfortunately, google did not provide much help as it seems to be a new problem. Background information: I just bought a new HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) and received an MMS from my boyfriend within minutes of turning it on (no issue). 1 day later, I installed the "System update" and when he tried to send me an MMS, I got the same error as the thumbnail above and was unable to download. The error message "Message not downloaded - Generic Network Issue" kept coming up. I tried googling and doing my own troubleshooting, I restarted the phone multiple times, I messed with the APN, I took out and reinstalled the simcard, all to no avail. I contacted HTC via their live chat and waited in a queue of 40 people They also tried to get me to update my APN information and again, to no success. I then called T-Mobile to see if there was a network issue with the SIM card. By this point, I got a MMS from another friend which also resulted in the same error message. T-Mobile tech was super helpful, tried sending me pic messages which actually came through! I then realized, the two users who sent me pics were both iPhone users. So the T-Mobile tech grabbed an iPhone and tried sending an MMS at first to no avail. He tried again and BOOM, picture message received. Still, he couldn't understand why it was happening still when my boyfriend and friend were sending me pics. Hours later, and still befuddled (tmobile tech said he would call later to follow-up and do some research on his own in the meantime - verrrry helpful guy!), it hit me like a TON OF BRICKS..... Both my bf and friend are not only iPhone users, but are on the OLD operating system because they (like many iphone users) didn't want to update to the new iOS because it apparently changed the look of the phone/apps. They are both in the process of installing and converting their iphone 4(s) - not "S" as in model but plural to the new operating system. Unfortunately, I can't report on whether this was the issue but I imagine with a brand new phone (HTC One M8), new system update that I installed yesterday and their old phone/VERY old iOS (this is like 2 versions ago - for both of them), there is a MAJOR incompatibility.
I will report back once they have installed and tried sending a pic, but hopefully this will help someone else for now (or who has a friend or significant other that can act quicker than mine do )
Whoa... Both of my friends have iPhone. Yeah I was on the phone with the tech this afternoon and he was unable to resolve my issue.
seems like it's working this morning. I turned off the power saving feature. I don't understand wtf is going on. ?
Happens to me on T-Mobile too, but not all the time, definitely sucks when I'm in a group message and I only get half the texts. Majority of the time it works though. Happens with both people with iPhone's, and Android phones.
I received a follow call from T-Mobile and was told there had been network issues which in turn affected mms. ? this morning I woke up to another generic network error message, but I've had no issues so far.
same issue please help
Hello, I am having the same issue! The people sending me messages do have iPhone but I can't send pic messages to anyone either. I haven't tried receiving from a non iPhone users yet. This is so annoying. I reset my apn numerous times, even talked to HTC ... I'm out of luck. My email is [email protected] please email me some tips/ steps idk if it is the phone, the service or what.

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:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms :highfive:
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.
