Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me. I got the xda with its original rom ie 3.16 and radio stack 4.20 and up till now I just can't even compose a sms message let alone sending it. I have the call centre number correct with the settings and I am connected to vodaphone and has received sms messages ok so far which means I am connected alright with the message centre. It must be some software problem that make it unable for me to compose and send sms messages. I have tried tapping on "New" which has no SMS option there but only Email option and I have tried tapping on a contact name and then "Send SMS" but no response. Under Inbox, I tapped on SMS under Services and then "New" and no response again. Just couldn't compose a sms message. :?
Any other ideas please ?
Man if you only knew!
I've been working on the same problem all day and I mean all day. The only thing that fixed it for me was a hard reset followed by a complete re-install of all my programs. As best as I can figure some were down the line my registry got corrupt.
Hi Qman,
Thanks for reply. I thot I may have to do that as well. One question though- I had my xda unlocked using xda manipulator, will I need to do that again when I hard reset my xda?
Cheers

No on manipulator!
Thanks Qman
Cold boot restored full functionality of my sms service and phone is still nicely unlocked.
Cheers

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i am having a really irritating SMs problem with.
My dad lives in Cyprus, when he sends me an SMS i can not reply, when i try it just says 'sending' then 'failed' . In order to get the text SMS to send to him i have to delete the message thread, then start a new message and it will send. Now if he then replies, i will need to delete the message thread again in order to be able to send him a new message.
I do not have this issue with any other contacts that i am aware. The only difference with my dad is that he lives abroad in Cyprus, and all my other contacts are here in the UK. Has anyone else had this issue? Know what causes it? I have deleted and recreated the contact but still the same.
Many thanks.
Do you have your dad's number stored in contacts with country code or not ? I was on the verge of smashing my phone when i was abroad, trying to call persons in my native country and i couldn't because i didn't have numbers stored with country code. Maybe that's your issue too
I think the problem is related to what SMS server your dad is using, I had same issue with my X-girls phone, no one could direct reply to SMS...
Hi, thanks for the replies.
Sp1tfire, i have changed the number configuration around several times, all with no success.
Fritz, this sounds plausible, however this would surely affect other phones replying? I don't have this issue when using my iphone 4 so it only happens from the Galaxy2 at the minute. I will try and use a colleagues Android phone to text him and test it.
Somehow you, or TSP (Telephone Service provider), have inserted a sms mail server address that is not valid.
here in my country, there has been scams, "cheaper SMS, enter this server setting" and stuff like that, so there is a setting on you phone that is wrong.

Can't be cause of settings, if he can actually send new sms to that number, but he can't reply from the received sms. His settings are correct as long as he can send sms. Must be something else. Are you using default sms app or a third party software ?

I am using the stock SMS app. I have just wiped the phone and installed the KF2 firmware. Going to see if that helps.
Sp1tfire, thats right, i can only reply to him when i delete the existing thread. I can however send new SMS to him no problem, so long as the thread is deleted before hand. Very frustrating as i lose the history every time.
Update, exactly the same on KF2 Firmware.
Ok, so i tried with a friends HTC desire and he has the same issue. also found my brother who has an iphone 3gs is unable to reply to my Dads number. So at least know its no longer just my phone and that it must be something the other end. Many thanks for the help.
Same problem here
When I reply to my girl it says: failed, when i delete the whole thread it goes.
It's only when I text her, all the other contact go fine
On my old sgs I had it to, but only on stock, when I was on CM7 it was OK.
Cant imagine that its something with the other phone i'm sending it to though

I remember in all the previous phones I've had, there's been a setting in the SMSC Settings allowing the user to specify whether or not to "Reply using the same SMSC" (or something along those lines).
If the option is ticked, the phone attempts to reply to the message through the SMSC that the text originally came from (rather than the one set in your handset).
The cause of the error may be because the SMSC overseas does not recognise your phone/SIM and therefore won't allow the replying message to go through.
And perhaps this may explain why deleting the whole thread and restarting a brand new message works - that is, the new message will go through the SMSC that is set in your phone for your own network.
Although, I've had a look through the settings in my SGS2 and can't seem to find that setting anywhere... (doesnt mean it's not there - it could just be that I don't know my phone well enough because I've only had it for a few days ).
I think your dad's SMS configuration settings is forcing you (or any other person he is sending an SMS to) to reply through his operators message centre
Ask him to check his sms settings and disable any such message centre settings from his side. This should solve the problem.

I have a strange SMS related error. Perhaps someone knows a fix?
I receive SMS from a House Alarm device. That device connects to the mobile phone provider via modem and sends SMS with the UCP protocol to my Galaxy S3. I do receive the SMS, but it only appears in the pulldown/notification area (similar to a flash SMS).
When I click on the message in the notification area, I am ending up in the active SMS application which is empty.
I am usually using Handcent, but the effect is identical if I deinstall Handcent and/or make the stock messaging app the default again.
The S3 will alert me again with the same SMS message after a while, depending on the reminder setup. Anyway, even if I cannot see the SMS messages on the mobile, they are received. And I can actually access them with the PC application MyPhoneExplorer. The SMS properties there show me that the SMS message does not have a sender address. That is the only thing which makes it different from other SMS.
Any other SMS sent to my S3 is received normally.
If the House Alarm device sends SMS to any other mobile, it arrives as normal SMS. If I move my SIM card to another phone (I tried another stock SGS3) it works as expected as well.
So I must assume that there is a setting in my phone which makes SMS from Unknown Senders behave strangely on my phone.
Anyone have an idea?

Hello everyone
So, I've searched before submitting this post and I didn't find a recent enough thread providing a simple fix for my problem.
I have a very disturbing problem, when I shut down my phone and receive SMS while it's off, when I receive thoses SMS they won't be set at the time they were sent, but at the time I receive them ...
Let's say I turn off my phone at 8.00, a friend send me a text at 8.15, then I turn my phone back on at 8.30, the incoming SMS will show : sent at 8.30
This problem occurs in the stock SMS app but also in ChompSMS.
I'm running a rooted galaxy S4.
So far, I've found two solutions, but the first one isn't satisfiying at all since it will add the time in all my incoming messages.
Ex : my friend send me "Hello", and what will be displayed on my phone is : "Hello (sent at 8.15)"
The second one is this one http://www.xda-developers.com/android/sms-show-sent-time-for-galaxy-s-i9000/
But i'm not sure it will work on my device and not sure that's recommended either.
Can someone help me fixing this ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english ! :laugh:
Hi guys,
I am using two phones with the same phone number. This is a service which my telecom provides. I can make calls and use data on both of them. However, only my main device can receive the SMS messages. Can you suggest an app that can mirror the SMS messages received so I can read them on my other phone too?
Any message forwarding apps are not relevant because as I said my second phone does not receive SMS messages.
Thanks!
