Guys, about 90% of the time when i send a text message, of any size, to anyone, i get a 'message can not be sent' notification and the phone vibrates, this happens about 2-7 times before the text message is sent, and for each time it tries to send the text again, this amount is send to the recipient, for example if it retries 7 times i will send the message 7 times - very annoying
when using the froyo rom from both paul and richardtrip i did not have this issue, although i am almost certain this was due to the stock messaging app, i even tried using handcent on the froyo which i used on the stock and on the froyo it worked perfectly too, but handcent will not work on the stock rom.
so it seems to me that it is an issue with either the stock (sense based) rom or the htc messaging app
im on tmobile UK on a branded phone, this happens on any radio, both rooted and unrooted
does anyone have any advice, or know of a way to replace the htc messaging app with the stock android messaging app?
if i could get this sorted id be very happy, so i appreciate any help
thanks in advance
I've had this issue happen a couple of times aswell, not sure how to replicate it, it seems totally random, but i haven't seen a 90% change of getting it!
try a new radio lol
This happens to me if I use any messaging system other than the default one (e.g. handcent or chomp) and the signal changes whilst sending the message (i.e. H to 3G or E to G etc. etc.)
I am still using the default rom with the latest update as I am waiting for 2.2 before rooting
turn off GRPS/EDGE/ 3G Data

Had exactly the same problem on stock/sense based verions of romms. NEver had an issue on stock android messaging app, only with the sense one. Think it must be a bug with that app. I'm T-mo in UK to but have an unbranded phone.
dont resend it, just wait until the message is sent, the phone resends automatically, because if you click the resend, it will send another message. what i do is when i get that error message i just wait.
I'm getting this problem on my o2-uk Desire; they are sending me a replacement handset

Thanks everyone for your replies
So it is confirmed that it is an issue with the HTC messaging app but not with the stock android messaging app, and no messaging clients can fix this as they use the default messaging app.
Is there anyway to change the HTC messaging app with the stock android? I prefer it anyway it works much better, the official froyo release will also contain the stock messaging app which I guess will have the same problem.
I will try flashing a different radio
Setting the phone to WCDMA only does not fix the issue
I am having this problem, and also another which I feel might be related, it tries to resend the message, and it eventually goes. I have also noticed that quite a number of times when I try to make a call, it doesnt dial, it just goes silent and returns to the call register screen. Maybe both related to a siganl problem . Somebody suggested switching off Edge or whatever, but thats not really a fix, and why should you have to do this to send a text. ?

I agree, and I also experience the same problem, sometimes during a phone call the most strange sounds happen and then the call cuts out, I'm guessing is interference. Problems with calls, text messages, and the connection repeatedly drops when using the mobile internet, exactly the same problems as the hd2, they will not get fixed by HTC, speaking from experience.. very basic requirements of a phone still not being met
I have the exact same issue with both texts and calls that seem to take ages to connect and then just dump me back to the dialer. I've put it down to O2 being so awful but of people have the same issues on other networks id love to know

I get it off and on, but I let it be and the messages eventually get sent out.

Same here. I did the resending thing for a while, but now I just ignore those error notifications. The text messages arrive anyway

same. I get it 10% of the time. On a unlocked Desire with a UK T-Mobile contract. just leave it to send a couple times, put your desire on a window sill and it should be okay.
but i think the message is not automatically sent if you lock the phone. can anyone confirm this? my unsent message was still not sent when i locked my phone.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, i used to get this issue all of the time when using handcent or chomp. However, since doing the following i've not had it happen once in 2 weeks (where it would happen 10+ times a day before)
1) uninstall any messaging software you have downloaded from the market
2) download sms unread count and sms popup from the market
3) put the sms unread count widget on the homescreen
4) configure sms popup to your liking
5) send messages to your heart's content
This uses the default 'messages' app rather than anything else and works perfectly

Thanks very much for your reply
I will try this right now
i also have the problem with the unsent messages and undialled calls, tmo uk contract phone.
I the last month or so my MMS has not been working properly. I can send messages just fine but I don't receive all of them. I will be sitting next to a friend and watch them send me a text and I will never receive it. It isn't every single text but enough to make it a hassle. It has been happening for the past month or so, which coincidentally is when I started using Sense 3.0 roms. I have no idea if this is what caused it, I have tried different sense 3.0 roms and the problem has yet to be fixed. I also have problems sometimes where when my phone turns off, whether I restart it or if it dies, when I turn it back on i send random old texts to random people.
Any insights on either of these two problems would be greatly appreciated.
Hey fellow XDAer's,
I am constantly missing text messages from friends and every once in a while, I see that I get a voicemail with no missed call on the phone. I am wondering is it is the ROM I am running or just the phone.
Has anyone experienced this before? If so, how did you fix it?
I was thinking about dropping my ROM back down to a stock ROM (rooted) and see if that helps. Does anyone have any good suggestions on a bone stock rooted rom to test?
Thanks!
Hey,
I have had this issue before and honestly it was neither, it was just the sprint service, I had bars but I was missing text calls etc and I called the sprint store to have them tell me it was just an outage. So most likely that is what is causing it.
Now to counter this I use google voice so either I normally get my calls and text through one or the other or both if data and 1x is working properly!
I wish you the best of luck and hope you figure it out!
If I helped please hit that thanks button!
I was missing random text messages until I started using Ghostly SMS. Since I started using that a couple of months ago it has recovered over 100 text messages.
which rom are you on?
roms like energy are notorious for not getting sms through. i have had mannnyy people think im ignoring them because texts arent coming through i will usually switch to voice intergration and solves it cuz everything is going through voice.
and/or see if there are certain radios that work better for the rom you are on. sometimes that will help too
I just noticed after a week of playing with Xiaomi.EU, MiuiMix and EliteRom all based on the official China rom that I cannot send SMS text messages.
I've been using WhatsApp so I have not noticed until yesterday, I tried turning disabling/turning off both VOLTE and VoWifi, I've also tried turning off Google Chat features ( I had to revert back to Global to do so) and when I revert back to Global SMS messages seem to work just fine.
Any help would be highly appreciated, I want to stay on Xiaomi.EU/MiuiMix if possible, but I cannot have a phone that cannot send SMS messages.

Maybe something you debloated block the SMS usage?
Nope, fresh installs of Xiaomi.EU and MiuiMix.
Found it it's carrier thing with custom roms, Global rom works fine.
I'll have to see if I can switch to a working carrier or else I'll just have to switch back to Global rom.
Are you using the default app, or something else like Google messages? Getting network not available message? If using something else you need to check the permissions, and set them to allow instead of ask each time.
Used both default Messages App (Xiaomi) and Messages by Google, same results.
I double checked permissions properly, not even going to bother trying another carrier.
Someone on Xiaomi.EU forum recently posted the same problem in the Toronto area with one of the bigger carriers (FIDO).
I reverted back to Global, installed root and everything working fine.
I'm going to miss Xiaomi.EU a lot, been using it for 3 years on my Mi Pad 4 (Wi-Fi only).
I found some solutions to get the Xiaomi launcher, phone, messages and other Chinese Xiaomi apps to work on Global with root.
I think I'll be just fine, of course I can't do anything about the extra settings and features found on Xiaomi.EU rom.
Thank you to everyone who tried to help out.
I don't think that's a xiaomi.eu fault. I'm using the stable 12.5.4 version and I can send SMS.. Never had issues with it..

Are you in Toronto too?
On Global rom if I turn off chat features and just go on SMS same issue, as stated above it's a carrier thing.
Edit:
I figured it out, it's my sim card or account. Something is wrong with it not allowing me to use SMS at all.
I got a hold of my friend's sim using the same carrier inserted into my phone and SMS works fine, when we insert my sim into his phone and can't send SMS.
I'll be callling them tomorrow to have this fixed and going back on Xiaomi.EU!
I got it fixed, apparently my SMS service number was set wrong. I don't recall ever changing it though.
Gave likes to everyone who replied to the thread (rationally of course) regardless if I agree or not with their solution.
Thanks again guys.
Do some research on MiuiMix and decide if you would still use it. (Privacy concerns)
