SMS messages don't send sometimes - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A couple of times a day when I am trying to send a SMS message, It says "Message not sent".
I then retry to send the message and it sends successfully.
It is quite annoying that this happens. Does anyone else have the same issue?

It's network dependent. The issue is not with your phone. If you are with AT&T (like I am) then, it is very normal. I would not worry about it too much.

Happens to me when I get poor signal. If your phone's getting poor signal when it shouldn't, then you have a problem.

It happens frequently when a text is coming in. Idk its just annoying as hell. FreeX10 2.2 beta2 didnt happen to much but if its normal, then ill have to suck it up

Yeah, it's very normal when a message is coming in and you are trying to send one out at the same time.

I have the same problem sometimes

likewise

It should be a option to try to automatic resend a SMS that fails. Lets say the phone waits 1 min and then try to resend. If it fails the phone should make a popup with Q for us how to do...

Test message problems after 2.1 update

Does anyone have a problem with texting on 2.1, where you can only send a single text message at a time? If the message takes up 2 or 3 messages it will not send.
I've checked the phones SMS settings and they are correct.
And can anyone recommend me a good keyboard?
Cheers.

[Q] Text message problems

when texting a message the call back number that is recieved on the other persons phone is a long string of numbers and is not showing up as my original phone number and when the person replies back they have to text me from my original number and cannot reply back to the number that is showing up
ANYONE else having this problem???????
Same problem here in Orlando, FL!!
its the sim card number that is showing up on the text lol I THINK atleast thats what verizon texh support said
wow that would be a hackers dream number i would suppose
oh damn!
I'll report as soon as I get mine.
Don't think I'm having that problem, but go into your text message settings and try changing your call-back number in there.

that didnt work either
So after some testing it seems my issue is only happening with AT&T Wireless phones. My txt msgs are fine to TMO and VZW...odd.
Verizon tech said it has been reported a few times but they said they would get back to me on this issue within the hour lol ill hold my breath
and my service is in middle tennessee

Thats bs because its happening to me to Verizon users, both blackberry verizon users so far.
the number that shows up on the other person phone on my text matches my IMSI number
Ok they told me a temporary fix
Delete cache and cookies from browser take battery out for 10 seconds
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I fixed this (temporarily) by unchecking "Send callback number" under SMS settings.
It was doing it even sending texts to other Verizon users.
I fixed mine just by simply rebooting the phone
Mine was doing this last night.
i think a simple reboot fixes it temp. but a verizon tech told me they are collecting data because they are fixing to push out a patch for it and a few other problems

same here, 1 reboot fixed it
No issues when my son texts me from his TB. Currently on a Fascinate for another hour.
Had issue unchecked the call back number battery pull and all is good..
Reboot solved the problem for me but I don't know if that is a permanent solution. I suspect that some people may have this problem and not even know about it. Unless you call and say, "Hey, I didn't hear back from you after I sent that text," you won't know they thought you had gotten their reply. This has happened to me both at the beginning as well as in the middle of a conversation. I've had the phone for 3 days, and the problem has occurred sporadically each day. I would be interested to hear if anybody has had the issue recur after a reboot or similar fix appeared to solve the problem.
All texts I send appear to arrive at their destination, with only some having the ID number instead of my phone number. It's the replies to those texts that sometimes arrive and sometimes don't.
happen to me the first day I got the phone...called verizon and they fixed the problem in 5 mintues...I powered down my phone and they fixed out on there end.

Tmobile users- sms question

So I have tmobile and when I go to send a text or sms sometimes it doesn't send it just has that loading arrow next to it. The thing is that I have full or pretty close to full bars. I can go browse the Web or an app fine. So why doesn't the message send if it has a good Connection? This also happens sometimes even when I'm connected to wifi and WiFi calling is active which should send the message even faster but it doesn't send. It just happens randomly sometimes I sent a message and checked back a couple hours later to find d out it hadn't been sent but failed or was still trying to send. I use the Google voice app to send the same message when the stock one is still trying and the app sends it instantly. Anybody else experiencing this?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I had only experienced this when i was using the wifi calling app after i turned it of it has worked fine since. Also my friends would tell me that they received the message when on mine it didint go through i found this out cause i would resend the message and my friend told me to stop sending the same thing haha
Please Give Me a Thanks if i helped

SMS problems!

I send text messages daily. I am having problem. I have a friend where every time i send a text she doesn't receive it, but every time she sends me a text I can get them but she doesn't get mine. She is on ATT, and I send a lot of text to people on ATT. Any ideas?

We're gonna need more information.
-You're saying that everyone else you text gets your messages?
I had a similar problem where I wouldn't get any texts from my girlfriend, I had to wait a week for them all to come. I never figured out what caused it.

Messages not sent when you receive a new one?

Is it just me or does this happen to everyone? It happens every time not randomly.
I get a hangouts (or text though hangouts) and I reply by voice with watch. If someone sends me a message again before my message says sent (or even right after with in a couple seconds) then my message never goes through unless I go check the dialog chat even though I get the green check box saying sent...
Very annoying! !

This is happening to me sometime but still haven't got to replicate and troubleshoot this issue
I am having the exact issue as well. It doesn't seem to be limited to just getting another hangouts message, but another notification period.
Getting a notification around the same time seems to almost always cancel my outbound message and it doesn't show up anywhere even though the watch says Sent. I have no idea how to fix this, is there any direct way to report these problems to the development team?
