[Q] Can't send SMS - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello (excuse me my english is not very good)
I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000
Yesterday I install MIUI 2.3.5
My IMEI was corrupted but I restore my backup with efsrestore and it's OK, everything works fine except SMS
I can't send SMS
I try a lot of configuration for my provider and each time fail
I try to manually enter SMS server phone number, I go to SMS advanced settings and I type in the text field +33660003000 and by pressing on OK button system says server not responding and a few second later the com.android.phone crash and restart.
I search in what file on android system are stored provider settings for trying to write directly the SMS phone number in the file.
Is this possible ?
if yes where is this file and can I edit with kate because I'm under Kubuntu on my computer
Thanks a lot to everyone.

Unable to send text messages

I can not send any text messages. Recieving messages are no problem. But when I want to answer or a make new massage, when I send, it says "Unable to send message after multiple attempts"
Any ideas on this?
EDIT:
I have it also with some other ROMs, only when I go back to stock ROM the problem is gone..
I'm currently on ChocolateEclair, had same issue with VanillaEclair 4.0 and MoDaCo 3.2.

I have the same problem since version 10 of villain... tried diff radios.. everything works except sms
I found the solution, at least it worked for me
Go to Messages, then press menu, preferences. Then you will see "Service Center Number" or something like that.
If it's blank, go to google and type the following:
-> "your provider here" Service Center number <-
If you find the number type it down under "Service Center Number".
After doing all that you should be done.

I can't send sms..please help me

Hi all.. I'm sorry for my english, it's not the best
My problem is this: from this morning my phone (x10 mini) can't send sms..when I try to send one it says that's impossible
I tryed a factory reset, then an update to last firmware..nothing.
When I try to change the SMSC (by dialing *#*#4636#*#*) it says "update error"
the strangeness is that if i try my sim card in another phone it works and if i try another sim card in my x10 mini..it works! It's strange because i used my sim in x10mini from november 2010 without problem..
can you help me please? I hope in you!!
thanks
Hi,
Go to default massager application - system "Conversations", and hit "Menu" button. Select settings, and then choose to set number of Message Center. Set number of your carrier message center, and save. I'm pretty sure that will help in your case.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't read through your post. That is a strange problem.
Nothing? :-(

Hi all.. I tried everything but SMS doesn't work..
is there an app to manage SMSC that I can replace?
I'm having the same problem. It just holds the "sending" state and never sends the sms.
Solved:
1. Open your dialler and dial: *#*#4636#*#*.
2. From the menus which appear, select Phone Information.
3. Scroll down to SMSC.
4. Enter the SMS centre number given by your provider in this box.
5. Select Update.

Yup, pretty much what the above person has replied. Whatsapp is actually registered on to your phone number. And how there is smartphone without a SIM slot!
And there are many methods provided here at XDA for making Whatsapp work for Wi-fi only devices, but not sure whether it will work. You can try those, by doing this google search :
Code:
site:forum.xda-developers.com how to make whatsapp work on tablets
Most involve having a phone number. The closest Ive seen is the bluestacks method.
You need a phone number... without a phone number people can't add you to there contacts and can't add you to groups etc. basically you need a number to use whatsapp..
Try this - it works for me

You will need to have a What's app account. Open the app and it will ask if it can send a SMS from your device to confirm the number. If a prompt appears say yes.
Now make sure the number you entered when creating an account is your number and it can be for any other device (even a regular phone will do)
When the app sends a message you'll receive a reply with a confirmation code on the number you have provided to the app.
The app will keep trying to confirm the device number but will fail and ask for the confirmation code. Just enter the one you received:good: on your other number.
I am not sure if it works when creating a account but it sure works with retrieving it:good:

If the phone has a sim card slot and you have any working sim card. Just insert it and do the registration then you can remove the sim card and whatsapp will continue working.

WhatsApp requires a valid SIM in order to access it. You can still access it by bypassing the phone verification process. There are sites which offers virtual numbers using which you can receive SMS; you can make use of those sites to get the verification done.
For more queries do let me know.
Cheers
Easiest Way
This is the easiest way and works for the latest version of whatsapp--
1) Install whatsapp on the device as usual
2) When it asks for number, enter any of your mobile number(non-smartphone)
3) Whatsapp will send a text message on the registered number
4) It will try to automatically verify, wait for the blue progress bar to complete(see timer)
5) Now it will ask you to enter the code sent by SMS on ur number, enter it.
6) If (5) doesn't work, you can touch on the option call me to verify by call
7) As soon as you will enter the code, whatsapp will start setting up
8) Tap continue when it comes
9) You are done !
use one time number apps
You can use an app like hushed or textplus search for it in the playstore. You get a number wich you can use to get an whatsapp account.
Hope it worked :good:

Talkatone works for me with the call function after you've waited 5 minutes
It is very possible
It is very possible to install whatsapp without using your real number, you just need to use a virtual number instead, here is a good guide for that: //whatsappformypc.com/whatsapp-for-pc-virtual-number
follow it up and you will be good to go

[Q] Whatsapp stuck (again) on Initializing

Hello.
Due to some problems in my Smartphone (Android 4.0.3), I had to uninstall Whatsapp Messenger and reinstall it.
It was working perfectly before I uninstalled it.
But now, there is no way to have it working again. I should say I already have an active account till April 2014. So, I installed it both downloading from the Play Store and downloading from Whatsapp website. The result is the same:
1.- Once re-installed and being sure I have both phone line and wifi network, I start whatsapp.
2.- I accept the terms.
3.- Whatsapp ask me for my phone number. I introduce the same I always have: +34 abc de fx yz and OK
4.- Whatsapp discover the old databases and ask me if I want to recover messages from them. I answer yes, whatsapp tell me that 3.189 msgs are recovered.
5.- Whatsapp ask me for the profile details, photo and name. And the strange things start here:
5a.- It seems not having recognized my phone number, as it ask for my profile, that I feel it had to be known
5b.- In the name field, there is a number too similar to the one I introduced in 3.-, but NOT the same, no country code and the last 2 digits are zeroes: abcdefx00
5c.- By this time, no message, no phone call is received
5d.- No question about verify code is received.
6.- Anyway, I put my name in the profile name field and press NEXT
7.- Whatsapp goes to “Initializing, wait a moment ….” And nothing more…. It stay stuck there…. Non ending. Hours later, the only way to resume my phone is restarting the phone.
I already tried all the suggestions of the different forums: go without recover messages, download 2.8 and then reinstall with the most recent versión, download from market and then reinstall with the most recent from whatsapp website, erase the old databases.... Same result.
I found that last year there were similar problems that seemed to be due to whatsapp servers problems, and week ago also the verification server had also troubles... Could again be this the problem?
I am planning to do a "Factory reset" of my pone (HTC Sensation), but I would like to explore any solution before that one.
Any help, please?
Thanks and kind regards
