It's been a week now and I still can't send any text messages.
I receive msgs but unable to respond back...
I thought it was because I finally updated to Jellybean (I've had ICS for awhile so I thought I should just stick to that) but then I downgraded last night to ICS and I still can't send messages.
well today I tried fixing it but still no luck, although I tried sending an MMS instead, I sent myself a picture and it worked! even tried it to other numbers and they received it. I also tried adding a text with the picture and it did work. but it's still not working when I just type in a text...
so anyway in short, I can't send SMS but can send MMS (and receive messages as well)
also extra: I can call people but whenever they call me it comes up as unknown number...
and btw I already checked the message centre number and it has the right number in it so I don't think the issues w/ that
Does anyone of you know what might be the problem? How can I fix it? Thanks
Did you flash new modem? Or did you Odin stock 4.1.2?

what does that mean? im sorry im not good at this but well i did something last night, i downgraded back to ICS 4.0.3 (from 4.1.2) using odin
I thought that would resolve the issue since everything occured after I upgrade to jellybean 4.1.2... but im now back to the old version but SMS still wont work. (but I can receive msgs and send a msg if it's MMS, which is very strange)

flash to a 4.1.2 or higher, i would recommend it since you always want to have the newest software since it makes your phone run buttery smooth lol. flash to another rom you want and flash properly! if sms still dont work find a radio zip file you can flash(but make sure its the one right for your rom!) and that should fix it

There's no right or wrong radio for particular roms. If its 4.1.2 or higher, there's only 2. Period. The new T-Mobile and the new Telus. They're the only 2 that work on any JB rom these days.

Well I don't have to now because it's fixed!
There wasn't any issue on my phone........ it was T-mobile all along -__-
I called them this morning and apparently they had my sent messages blocked, and they didn't had any idea why.
So they unchecked it and I can text perfectly fine.
Thanks for trying to help~!
I have this same problem, I'm going to call my service provider soon.

Yesterday I tryed rooting and everything went ok.
I installed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Which is new 2.10.405 ROM, just rooted, don't have anything else.
Today at work I noticed that I can no longer receive contacts via SMS, I just get "nullnull" SMS message when someone send's me VCARD via SMS.
I tryed installing new ROM when I got home, this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741755&highlight=Official+htc+froyo
That is older 2.09.405 ROM on which VCARD via SMS worked when I installed it OTA, original, NO ROOT.
Then I though it had to do something with radio image so I tryed installing radio versions:
32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23
and in the end
32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
Still cannot receive contact via SMS, just getting "nullnull" SMS message when I try to send it from NOKIA E90.
Did I miss something?
How can I fix it since it's important for me to have that option, which WORKED on 2.2 OTA HTC Desire Froyo 2.09.405.8 and after rooting it's not working any more?
BUMP ... ... ...
vcard + sms never worked on original ROM for Desire..
Vcard worked even on old 1.21.405 but it couldn't be imported. On froyo OTA they fixed it and vcard worked perfect, so let's not go there.
I'm interested in why am I getting «nullnull» instead of vcard text. Since I tried updating rom and radio, and it didn't work, I'm asking is there anything else that can be done to fix it since its probably problem in something that new rom 2.10.405 updated also.

Last BUMP before I give up and go to good old 2.09. OTA UN-ROOTED ROM.
Have you tried doing a full wipe? Rooting alone shouldn't cause something like this.
Not sure how it's done but I whiped data, cache and dalvik cache in recovery. Didn't find anything else there to whipe.
Still not working.
Tryed sending contact from samsung old phone, received blank sms, but same happened on nokia so I'm not worried.
Will wait for unrevoked 3.2 and then revert back to ota unrooted to try if it will happen on unrooted or not.
Can it be kernel or that has nothing to do with it? That's only thing I didn't reinstall.
Yeah ... I've been checking this for a while too ... I noticed that I could no longer receive wap push messages from our mobile content system so I assumed that the module for parsing these binary SMS message has been dropped from the message management of certain roms. Each time I flash a new rom I test to see if someone has bothered to include it again.

Came across something.
While using rooted 2.09.405 ROM I decided to switch mobile network from gsm / 3g to 3g only, and I was able to receive VCARD via SMS, but couldn't send it...
Installed back 2.10.405 and vcard not working any more.
Now I'm switching back and forth roms to see what works and what not...
Sorry, hitching on this thread, I would like to ask..
How do you send vcard + sms on Desire, Android 2.2?
Thanks!
Go to contacts (People), press and hold on contact you want to send, from pop up menu select "send contact" or something like that, and then select to send via SMS.
Concerning my problem...
It has nothing to do with gsm / 3g. It seams Desire is capable of receiving some vcards and not others. Basicly out of 6 random contacts I tryed from my wifes nokia phone, I was able to receive 3 on both roms and 3 other came as nullnullnull or nullnull messages, not really sure why...
Also when sending VCARD as SMS Desire won't send it from first try. Don't know why it just don't even try to send it... But when I click "Retry sending" I send it without problems...
Where can I report that problem?
And is there any solution for this?
I've now reinstalled using using a Pre-rooted Stock Froyo (2.10.405.2) which includes HTC Sense.
See h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Tested sending WAP Push messages from our CMS and the phone now receives them OK.

I know starting new threads is a risky thing here, but I feel my situation is peculiar/unique enough to justify the risk.
I've been running CM7 and using ChompSMS (donated) ever since using Android, many devices ago. This is the first time something like this has ever happened. A couple days ago, my phone stopped downloading MMSs. I can send myself a message (text with a subject) and the notification that the message is waiting for me will come in, but it will not download. I called Sprint and got the code to reprovision the phone, so I downloaded a stock rom and punched it in. The stock rom would download messages just fine. Switching back to CM7 (I tried multiple nightly builds, as well as the most recent stable build), the messages stopped coming in again. I googled all over the place and the best solutions I found was to delete "telephony.db" or to try "APN backup & restore," restoring the APN with settings that worked for somebody else. Every time I restored the APN, it would just remove all the entries. I tried to restore defaults (which brought back a "Sprint" one), reboot, no dice.
The only solution I've gotten to thus far was to download Go SMS Pro, which can download the MMS, after the notification has already come in and I go in to hit download manually. Yes, this gets the job done, but it's just a band-aid over the problem. I'm mostly curious just what exactly caused this, why it persists over every CM install (but not the stock rom), and why I can't seem to find any way to fix it.
A quick update to this, in case anybody has been keeping tabs. This problem spans across multiple roms. I've since installed an MIUI ICS rom, more versions of CM7, a very buggy version of CM9 ported, and another gingerbread rom, all of which kept the problem going. The only rom that works is the most recent rooted stock rom I downloaded. I REALLY don't want to go back to stock if I can help it. Any ideas now? Would flashing new radios help this? If so, I have to be S-OFF to do so, correct?
Thanks for all your help, those that do!
been having the save issue with MMS but I use Handcent not chompSMS, it also wont download using the Roms stock SMS app. it seems to happen on any ASOP rom that I've tried. but any sense based roms seem to work fine. goSMSpro also works for me if I manually hit download (thanks cause that's better than nothing). I have tried to flash new radios, along with flashing CM with a formatted mem car. and nothing seems to work. so If you find a resolution please keep this updated. good luck
I've been having the same problem for the past couple weeks with CM7. I've tried everything the Google suggested, changing the APN, turning off auto-retrieve, disabling MMS with Sprint and re-enabling it after a while, etc., nothing worked. I tried a few different roms too. I can't get MMS to work on any rom unless it's sense based.

Same problem
I'm having the same problem with CM7 on Evo 4G. I can get it to work with sense based rom and goSMS (thank you for posting that, I was about to bail on CM7 completely). Stock messenger and handcent won't work. I saw on another thread someone said it would work until flashing gapps, but I haven't tried that. I even tried backing up APN from a sense rom that would work, and restoring it to CM7, as well as deleting telephony.db, nothing works.
Yeaaahhh MMS can either go 1 of 2 ways. Either you try to get it to work and it works fine, like I just did on my evo, OR *nothing* you do seems to make it work.
I should know, I spent about 6 months earlier this year (on and off) getting MMS to work on my HTC Hero.
With that said, the first step is to make sure you're putting in the right APN info.
Start with deleting /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony*
Next, make sure you have the correct APN info in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
You'll probably have to either sysrw in android terminal or "adb remount" on pc/mac/linux/whatever to make changes to that file.
This one should work on ICS/JB:
google sprint apns-conf.xml
Should be the last one, searchco.de
Just change the version to 6 if you want to use it on GB.
Reboot to make the system create a new telephony.db from /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
If that doesn't work, you may need more apn changes, framework-res.apk changes, mms.apk changes, etc. etc.
Currently my phone will only download mms that is 200kb or less with either the stock messaging app or handcent. I'm going to try some of the trouble shooting steps on this thread and see if anything works.
If anyone has a fix they know of that fixes this particular problem please let me know.

My girlfriend is having the same problem as everyone else when it comes to MMS. She has my old Evo 4G running CM 7.1. I wiped the cache and dalvik cache, updated the PRL and profile with a sense ROM, but none of this fixed the problem. I can confirm that Go SMS Pro will download picture mail that neither the standard messaging app or Handcent could (they both gave the error "download of message New Message from SENDER was unsuccessful"). Hopefully a fix can be found soon. BTW, thanks for the tip omegastu!

without knowing what caused the problem we can't tell you anything new to help you prevent it.
you're going to keep hearing "clean flash, full wipe, see if the problem's there still" because we don't know everything about your phone and what could be causing your problem, and a full wipe solves many problems.

This may sound tedious but I'd reinstall an app at a time and try to send a message. Something is interfering. Are you restoring through Google or titanium backup? Are you restoring system data if you are using titanium? That can cause problems...

Correct. Ive messed around with the APN settings on previous installs (Reset to Default and Reboot) and the problem is still there... Might have to give it another try after i flash this rom again.

Hey,
Got this phone of ebay a little while ago and my outgoing MMS worked fine for about a month. The phone has been rooted and seems like it was running a custom ROM. However everything has been fine.
Now when I send a MMS it gets stuck on "sending" and eventually it will say message failed to send.
This is what I've tried:
Deleting the cache for messaging app (stock)
Adding a new Verizon APN
Getting a new sim card
I can receive MMS just fine, doesnt matter if im on 4G/Wifi cant send them out.
I was thinking about trying to flash my radio, or go back to the completely stock phone.
Anyone have any ideas?

I doubt it is a radio. If it was me, I would go back to stock or at least a ROM that you put on there yourself .
I reset to factory and installed my own rom and flashed the radio just to be safe. Everything is working now, thanks for your input!
So I've tried cm 10.1.2, 10.1.3, 10.2 and baked bean 8. On all of these I can't receive texts. I believe sending texts works, but not receiving. At this point I have no idea what to do. I would appreciate any help.

your problem seems pretty strange may be related to network.
just put your sim in some other android phone and check if it works if it does than yes either your phone or rom is broken and do try to go back to stock and check may be CM is having issues with you.
