Your text message cannot be sent.

I tried to sent a text message and, after a slight delay, got the following:
Your text message cannot be sent.

Is there some sort of app or registry setting that I could change that'd ask if I wanted to resend the message? Having to retype in messages is rather annoying.
According to this post Windows Mobile 6.1 added this feature but I don't see it and I'm running 6.5. Maybe the HTC TouchFlo 3D interface removed it?

It doesn't retain a copy of the message in your drafts folder, or outbox...? Whenever I get that message I can just pull it up from there and hit send again

Whenever I get this message, after trying to resend it a few times, I realize I tried sending a text to an email address.

Make sure the number has an area code as part of the number.
Just another possible solution.

Is it for all text messages? If its a specific number sometimes the persons number is disconnected

this is the correct answer...if you have a good signal and you get that error msg, then that person has not paid their billy bill...

This problem comes up quite often if you've flashed a different radio onto your device. If you have flashed a custom radio, try out another or stock. If that's not the case, you might be in a poor coverage area. Both are common culprits, but may not apply for you.

SMS doest go to outbox folder
I have the same problem
When I have no service coverage I would like to type sms messages and as soon as I get it make phone send them all out. But unfortunately, when I don't have service HTC touch pro 2 keeps trying to send sms out and after a couple of attempts gives me message that it was not able to send it. I have to click on each message and resend it when I have service. Instead, I want my phone to put all sms into outbox sms folder and send them all when I actually have service.
I know other phones perform this function well. I went thru all settings but couldn't get it to put sms into outbox when no service available.
Does anyone have fix for that?

Also having a similar problem
Hi all,
Same, or similar thing with me. I'm on Vodafone in the UK, and I've got a friend who is on '3' in the UK. If I text him with a new fresh message, and hit send, it goes to him no problems. If he replies and I attempt to reply back - then I get "Your message could not be sent. Try again?" underlined in red. Tapping on this just generates the same problem again and again.
I've tried his number with/without spaces in it, ensured his contact name has no non-alpha characters in it, tried his number in +447xxx format as well as 07xxxx - all to no avail.
It does not happen with any other contact in my phonebook and I end up having to let the message fail, then forwarding my reply to him, so it leaves my device as a new message.
Now, as it's the UK, its nothing to do with him having not paid his bill (we don't get charged to receive SMS in the UK), and I've got great signal (I work for a Vodafone associated company and we've got a cell on-site, so it's full signal of HSUPA for me).
I am completely at a loss to understand why this happens - I have other friends on '3' that SMS's go to fine, so I'm guessing it's not a Vodafone to '3' issue either.
Any ideas anyone?!

PS: Stock ROM running WM6.5, unlocked GSM, nothing odd about the configuration/software either!

...bump.
Anyone?
Thx,

change your network setting for automatic to manual. and enable call waiting now your problem is solved. i was suffering from the same problem but now solved

[Q] Unable To Send Email, Hotmail - HTC Desire

I have been using my hotmail.co.uk email address on my handset for a number of months now without problems. Went to work yesterday (as I normally do lol) and when I went to send a email through the bulit in "Mail" app upon my return home. I get the message "Unable To Send" notification at the top of the screen.
Nothing has changed, so don't really understand why this has only just happened????. When I then go to have a look at the pop3/smtp settings. It says its ok for the incoming but when I try and go on "next" in the outgoing settings. I get the circle dots hang i.e. where it should be loading and then says "Authenticition failed, for username and or password"?. Re-entered the username and password which is correct, but still comes up with the same message. Also tried changing the port from 587 (I think from memory?) to 25 and 26, but still no luck!.
Anybody know what else I can do?. Just not sure why this has just happened when I have never had a problem before and no settings have changed from the handset :S

I'm having this problem too today - seems it may be a hotmail issue rather than one with the phone

Yeah, I think it was on the Hotmail side as my emails seems to be working now. Not sure what happened though tbh :S. It's funny, cuss its a question I was sure to expect from a customer ringing me at O2 lol (I work for O2 Customer Services). I tend to always get handset related issues rather than network ones LMFAO .

text message area code deletes itself!

this is the first time ive ever had this problem. I can text everyone in my contacts fine except one person, even other people on metro.
Im on sprint, they are on metro.
the area code works when sending a new text message and if you keep the thread on the screen but as soon hit the back button it removes the area code and gives an error when sending.

I ran into a similar problem today at work , but that person is also on Sprint

my dad and coworker have this problem also, i have yet to see it

nobody has a clue on how to fix this still?

I had this problem one time, but i could never replicate it. I'd suggest trying a new messenger (go sms is amazing).

Not sure how well this pertains to your situation.....
Here is a solution I found that works for me, to prevent the stock Android messaging app from deleting the area code in a 10 digit phone when creating a new text message from within the messaging app.
In google.com/contacts my cell phone numbers were saved like this +1 (444) 555-1234 changing it to +1 444-555-1234 resolves the issue for me. Removing the () parentheses solved the problem.

Suddenly lost all service, data etc....IMEI correct, S/N correct.

I've been flashing random ROMS lately for note 2, and i've been running beanstalk 4.4 without any issues for about one week. All of a sudden, i have no service. On lock screen it says, 'emergency calls only". I reverted back to the original 4.3 Bell rom, which also unrooted my phone, and still no luck. My IMEI is correct, and so is my serial number (however before reverting back to stock my IMEI was 'null' and serial number didn't match. As of now, my phone number, IMEI, serial number are all accurate, but I just can't get any service. I've went to my carrier, and they tried everything, including trying different sims etc....but can't get any service? My sim card is fine too. I didnt backup EFS, nor do i know if there is any problem with the EFS components.
However, i just remembered something. The day my phone stopped getting service, i vaguely remember clicking on the terminal emulator app just to see what it was all about. I must have clicked somewhere on there, because suddenly i had a notification that said i had 140 new text messages (all my messages came up as new messages in the notification bar). I would try to clear the notifications, but the text message icon in the notification bar would persistently keep popping up immediately, saying i had 140 new text messages. I didn't know what to do, so i went to application manager and disabled the terminal emulator app, and this stopped the new text message notifications.
Now, i don't know if this caused the issue of not getting any service, but its the only thing outside the norm that i did to my phone. If anyone has any ideas on possible solutions, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

[Q] message not downloaded generic network failure htc one

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.
