[Q] Cant send sms? Help? :/ - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my brother asked me what secret codes on nitrality are and i told me not to touch it. Apparently he doesnt see me as much of an authority. Since then i can't send sms. I tried wiping from CWM, installed CM7.1, went back to VillainROM3.0. No luck. Tried updating SMSC, no luck. Does anyone know what nitrality secret code he might've used and if there is any way of resetting it or something?
Im on t-mobile, Croatia.
Is it possible im wrong, and its only my carrier or sms?
I apologise if i posted in the wrong section, or if this question was already resolvde somewhere, i did my best to do the right thing here.

SMS Message Centre check correct network settings .

Try Go SMS Pro
I have been struggling and struggling to change the SMSC on my G2X CM7.1 using *#*#4636#*#* to no avail. I could not send sms. I can change the number using the Go SMS Pro in the settings and now I can send sms.

[Q] Can't dial or send text message

Hello.
I think I soon have search the entire internet for my problem. Well I found someone with the same problem, but no answers.
My problem is that I have a friends X10i that I shall try to fix, but the strange thing is that it can't make a dial or send a text message.
I can get the phone to go on the internet with 3G.
We have tried to use 3 different simcards, all from a different brand.
I thought the problem maybe was the old 1.6 android, and I have updated to the 2.1, after that it send 2 text message, but could'nt dial. After turning the phone off there was no network again.
I have flashed to Cyanogenmod 7, it works fine, but still It can't make a dial or send a text.
Anyone that have a answer to my problem?
Just want to bring this up again, anyone with a solution?
Have you done a master reset? I had a problem where the phone would not receive any txt messages, and after a master reset it worked ever since.

Strange SMS Problem

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.

And that will work if the OP is on AT&T. But if he isn't, (which I doubt he is, since he's in Italy, and even said his operator is named "PosteMobile") he should probably look for the SMS Message Center number for HIS carrier and use that instead.
best option my friend telephone your network provider and explain your problem and tell them to set the sms settings for you again. they can do that by sending you the settings by message and all you have to do is save it. just call them explain and they should guide you through your problem

Can't send SMS!

I've somehow lost the ability to send SMS's on my SGS II. Likely during one of my recent ROM swaps. I've tried entering the SMSC when dialing *#*#4636#*#* but it doesn't seem to accept it ... when I do refresh it shows up as "00". I'm quite sure that's the reason my SMS's are failing - it somehow doesn't have the SMS gateway number for my carrier.
I've tried doing full wipe, installing other ROMS, changed the radio, flash the CSC...nothing seems to work.
I'm travelling this week and will be swapping SIM's, I (sort of) hope that will force it to the SMSC for my prepaid carrier and that when I get home it will put in the local SMSC...but I'm probably dreaming.
Any ideas?
When I had that problem I did go messaging then to options and put my carrier message code there.

Can you still call people?

Awesome! That did it. Can't believe it was so easy after all that (for some reason no one has posted this fix elsewhere, because of course I did a ton of Google Searching). Thanks again!!!
I am having the same problem now, but with Galaxy I. I go to the hidden menu and I can't input the smsc myself. It shows up automatically as "00" and I can't change it.
When you mentioned, go to messaging and then options, you meant settings? I tried that but I don't see any option where I can insert the smsc number myself...
anyone who could help with this?
can't send galaxy I
I have a friend with a galaxy S version 1 that can't send texts, but can receive them anyone have some direction in which to go, I will give you a cookie
thanks

I just had this problem and did tons of searching and couldn't find the answer. I swear this should come up more. Anyway here's how I fixed it:
1. Make sure your radios are the latest
2. Check your SMSC number (this is what fixed it for me, link below)
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/SMSC_Updates
is a good guide on configuring SMSC numbers (note that the AT&T number in the example is incorrect: it's missing a 9 as the third character)
Let me know if that helps!

[Q] SMS forced close

Hi all , is it possible to replace the sms.apk with those from custom roms ? actually im using a korean galaxy hd lte and i kept on getting invalid sender error when i tried to send sms. in the msg setting , there is sms centre or mms server setting... i tried 3rd party sms app such like Go sms pro but it didnt work too..so i was trying to replace a galaxy note sms app into my device and b4 i do that , i just wanna confirm with the gurus here if this is possible.. pls advise , thx
Same here. The essential SMS app is the only thing that's not working in SGS 2.
Really a big disappointment.
Its usually a user error .
Check correct settings in message centre .
jje
Same phone, same problem, same solution I can imagine, same urgency to solve the problem. Who can help?
This phone is nothing like the i9100 aka the SGS2, its more like the T-Mobile USA SGS2, but with a different radio.
Anyway.
Go to your carriers website, find the option to be sent the correct settings, or google "<your carrier name> message centre number", hit the menu key in the sms app, go to settings, and make sure that the correct Message centre number is there.
