I receive mesaages just fine, but my messages are stuck 'sending'. this is with handcent and default messaging. Also, i am unable to download pictures that i receive..nor do people get the ones i send...what gives. Had no issues on 1.6
Also, sense i am on the subject, anyway to make handcent look like the default messenger?

SMS issue
If you are not receiving it sounds like there is a problem with your phone account, phone your network operator and check that they haven't put a bar on your account (for late payment etc). MMS issue sounds like you don't have the right APN for your network, either use the Sony Ericsson set-up wizard to get the right settings or get your network operator to send them to you.

a strange glitch....thought i was on my own here
I had it too. I just restarted the phone and now it's working again. No idea what caused it.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I used the X10 to forward sms/calls notification to my HTC phone via SMS. The apps like "The Operator" and "Phone Control" works in X10 2.1 before but since I updated to 2.3.3 the apps fails to work after 1 notification message.
I rebooted the X10 and activated the sms/call forward apps. Again try to simulate a missed call to the phone. The first missed call notification is forwarded. Subsequently the X10 refuse to send out SMS. Then I cannot even manually send sms on the X10. The sms application just hanged there with message "sending..". Need to reboot again before the sms function is working again.
It is important for me to have the sms/call forwarding function as I don't like to carry 2 phones.
Any one with the same problem?
Thinking of downgrade to 2.1
I do have a similar situation... I have a Xperia X10 and with any application I have the described problem. Just manually sending SMS works grate. If one of the apps is sending a message then no other messages are sent until I restart the phone. I have tried different apps and did do a few factory resets. I had no problems on Android 2.1, everything started after upgrading to 2.3.

I use Go SMS Pro apps (all free)for all sms/email (except Gmail/Google Voice stuff) /phonebook stuff works good, Have had for about six month now has all the stuff that you need to do an more. Although the Emoji with Emoji pulg-in only works if all you send too have the app other wise you are the only one that sees emoticons they will see the standard icons.

Also you can setup your Google voice/chat/mail as your forwarding number to send to all your numbers cells as(text/voice/video mail)/land-line as voice mail/Google Chrome all the above of coarse and it's all free to.
On my x10a 2.3.3 Generic/Rooted with some tweaks/apps/build props
Have you tried dgAway. I've been using it on 2.1,2.3 and now on custom rom.
It works flawlessly but be careful if the target phone is not on. A sms loop will happen.
It is not a question of SMS application... The SMS is working ok as long as there is no APP that will try to send automatically an SMS. I did install a different SMS client App but I guess the applications are using the Android API's so it is probably why this is still failing.
As the initial post said, the APP is sending the first SMS message but then nothing else. Also the SMS is working properly if manually sending them before that first automatic message. As soon as an automatic message is sent all other manual attempts to send SMS messages are failing. The messages are remaining in "sending" state until the phone will be rebooted. Following the reboot all manually SMS messages that were in "sending" status are being sent.
Hope this clears the problem definition!
Does anyone know if there is a bug in the version 2.3.3 that is related to this issue? Any idea if there is a 2.3.4 version for Xperia X10 that is coming out soon?
Ok, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on T-Mobile, not sure if this is the same for all carriers.
I have been using Go SMS Pro. Never had any issues till they updated it a few updates ago..I have uninstalled it and reinstalled. The problem is, that some Text (SMS)messages won't send, they FAIL. It don't matter if it's short (5 or less words) or long. or to who it gets sent to. I can, however, exit out of this app, and try to send it using the stock App that came with the phone and it sends without any issues. I am lost at this point as to why it keeps happening, or how to fix it.
Has anyone else experienced this isuue and if so, how have you fixed it?
I have alos tried to use Hancent SMS and it also did the same thing..
hmm i'm having a similar problem, but mine does send after a while instead of failing to send completely. Sometimes, my text messages will be stuck during the "sending" animation, where the green arrow just keeps loading and doesn't stop (which means it's not sent out). After a while, it will send out, but that's usually after i send a txt to someone else or if i exit and restart GO SMS PRO, or do something else. I'm not sure exactly but it just works after a while.
It's nothing to do with bad signals either. I'm not sure if it's because I've updated my Motorola Milestone to CM7 RC1, because i've never had this problem before on CM7 RC0. I dunno, it could be due to basebands as well? For my Milestone, I can choose to switch between basebands in the settings (provided by CM7 itself), but i've never had this problem before so i dunno....
I actually gave up on that app...happened quite too many times.. I now use Hancent SMS and never have this issue again... It also was happening to a co-worker and she did the same thing after I told her about it..
sms go pro sending issues in latest version
Using go sms pro 4.73 with Google voice integrated and for some reason when I send out one text it just lags in the sending mode.I have to actually send a 2nd text for both texts to send out, very annoying. Any ideas why and how to fix would be appreciated. Using galaxy s3 on at&t. Thanks for Any suggestions

Sorry, as silly as this sounds...I gave up on this app a long time ago and went with Hancent SMS Pro...only had this issue once with them and found out on my type of phone Galaxy S2, I can't disable the other SMS apps in Handcent, I had to leave it enabled...so try that with Go SMS Pro...I don't know/remember if Go SMS had this option in the Settings...Good Luck...let us know if that worked or not...
Had the same problem using Go SMS with two SIM cards. Both failed to send to certain numbers; so it's not an issue with providers. Solved this way: Go SMS settings, More tools, SMS blocker, Settings, disable all black list and white lists. The app runs normally again. The developers should take note of this.
hhhmmmm... same here... I can't send SMS using GO SMS Pro to my Samsung Galaxy Note 1. But I can send message using the ordinary app here which has only 80 characters.... What should I do? How can I fix it? But it works in my Motorola phone.. hhhmmm....
Just go to your app manager, then choose ho sms pro, then below the premissions part. You can see the options on sending premium sms. Select ASK and try if it works again...
I'm having trouble with my phone's messaging. I can send texts fine, but I can't send any group messages or MMS messages. I've tried unrooting, updating to the newest OTA update, using a third party texting app, and replacing the SIM card. Nothing works. I can't send or receive group messages or attachments. I tried Go SMS Pro, and when I tried to send group messages, it failed, then sent the message individually to each person. When I tried sending a picture, it said the service was not activated on the network.
This got me thinking it might be something with our texting plan, but everyone else in my family can send and receive group messages and attachments without problems. So it's a problem with my phone only. Does anyone have suggestions?

might try going into your setting and unchecking fastboot .. read somewhere that worked for others ... good luck
Nope, that didn't work, either before or after a reboot. Any other suggestions?
Had a similar issue. I don't know if its because I'm still locked and unrooted but I recieved an error code when I would try to send messages. I actually had to get o the phone with Big Red and they had reconnect me to another network connection of some sorts. Weird.

Sorry, what do you mean you had to "get o the phone with Big Red"? You had to carry it back to Verizon?

He missed a 'n', he got on the phone with big red. Aka he called Verizon.

This has been solved. I switched my number in January, and the service had been disabled then. I was able to get into a live chat with a vzw customer support guy, and he was helpful enough not only to fix MMS, but also group messaging on my phone. It took a couple of hours after trying in vain to put a password in over the phone, but contacting Verizon is the only way to fix this. If you have rooted your phone (as I had previously), and you still have that ugly "tampered" or "relocked" message at the top of the bootloader, Verizon's live chat system is probably your best bet. Even if you haven't rooted your phone, live chat may be faster. You can skip the "reboot, reset, ask other employees for help" routine you'll probably go through if you go to a physical location.
I think I have the same problem too..
When I'm sending a group message .. one of or two of the messages wont send
I'm having a problem with MMS messages. Whenever I try to receive MMS messages I get this error:
Message not downloaded
Generic network failure
I flashed a new version of the ROM I'm running, and confirmed that the APN settings are correct. When I am going from zero text messages this is not a problem. When I restore my 17k text messages, I suddenly cannot receive MMS. Is there something I need to do in order to fix this? I've seen this happen with three different roms so I'm guessing this is an android issue and not something specific.
FYI, I flattened the phone back to stock. Then I installed a custom rom but no restored messages and I can't receive mms messages again.

I have the same issue, and it's intermittent. What I have found is stopping the mms service from settings, apps, all and restarting fixes it for a bit.

I think I might have just found a solution to the issue, at least for me. I had Ad Block installed, and when I uninstalled it, MMS was functional again.
