I'm having trouble sending SMS's with the latest Hydrog3n ICS. It comes up with "sending failed" and drops my GSM signal. I've searched the settings and unable to find the message centre setting. But strange enough is I'm able to receive SMS's.
Anybody else having this issue?

Before you do anything else. Have you tried simply reflashing the rom? Or maybe just restarting the phone? Sometimes these simple things should fix your phone. And it is advisable to format cache and format system too before flashing a new rom. Please ask away if you need some help with this.
Have a nice day.

It's the settings from within the Messaging app. Open Messaging > Menu > Settings. Scroll about halfway down. Should be under "Text message (SMS) settings".

I'll try that and see. Although I really think it's a glitch in the ROM (or messaging app) itself.

No such setting in the Messaging app. I've triple checked.

Hmm. Hydrog3n not a stock based ROM? The setting is there in the Samsung stock messaging app.
Okey dokey. I've reinstalled the ROM after a full wipe as suggested and the issue persists. I've also tried flashing CM9 (20-3-2012) with the same result. This is insane. Am I the only one with this issue? Or am I the only one still texting?
It seems like I'll need to roll back to CheckROM while I wait for an update . At least I'll get 3 days on my battery again

I'm having the exact same problem, perhaps it has something to do with network specifics here in south africa. CM9 forums do have this problem on their bug list, but it doesn't seem to be present in most users. Desperate for a fix though, at some point i gave up and tried different roms where sms worked, was painful using anything else after using CM9 or Hydrog3n, so i'm back, rather use cm9 or Hydrog3n than anything else even with the sms problem...... ........ hopefully a fix comes soon.
Problem solved
I have solved my issue withthis, it turns out to be a problem with the SMS center number (smsc) using *#*#4636#*#* you can access the phone details and you need to update the smsc number to the appropriate number for your carrier. I was getting update error msgs when trying to update this, so the solution was to insert your sim into another phone (i used a blackberry, settings, sms,...). From what i've read part of the problem has to do with the old 34K sim cards.

As the topic's title suggests, the installation of this wonderful ROM disabeled mms functionality. In the conversation window the message status is Sending... Settings are correct, I checked them with my carrier. What could be wrong? This is the second installation of the same ROM, and I have the same problem again.

It's a problem with all ROM's based on Cyanogenmod 7. When using stock the phone automatically activates mobile data to send and recieve MMS. Cyanogenmod doesn't, its been listed on their bug-tracker so they are aware of it but nothing has been done yet.
To send MMS you have to turn mobile data on, and make sure your APN settings are correct
Mobile data is on and my mms settings are correct, I cheched them. Is there any log file that I could upload?

Try rebooting the phone then turn mobile data on, but make sure that wifi is off. Then resend the message. The log file won't mean much to me I'm afraid!
lol...people still use MMSs nowadays?
LOL, people still think sms and email are almighty? How do I send a picture to someone, that doesn't use email on his not-so-smart-phone?
Don't tell me I'm the only one with this problem??
Could a complete wipe out and reflash fix this problem? I also get FC when taking pictures with the camera, so I'm thinking about starting from scratch...
No, you're not the only one. I have the exact same problem. I am trying every possible setting for the mms APN, turned off and on the data communication, rebooted the phone again and again - no mms, send or receive.
I guess we'll have to keep on searching for a solution...
I'm gonna try reflash... Let you know if it works...
Reflashing didn't help, and I can't post it to the official theme, because I don't have enough posts....

maybe enable national roaming data. just in case your carrier roams on another carriers network.
what messaging app you using?
For those who really need/want 2.3.7 and
MMS working I can recommand StornMix V2.
I also tried several ROMs and I could not get
MMS working.
Unfortunately StornMix V2 has the following problems:
- sym-key on hardware keyboard does not work
(there is a fix for this... apply Optional_default_keyboard.zip via CWM)
- USB tethering is not 100% stable

Randomly this evening, my phone has decided that it no longer wants to send any MMS messages. I can send SMS messages just fine, but MMS messages do not go through. They sit for a while, and then it just says that the text message cannot be sent.
Anyone have any suggestions that don't involve factory resetting?

You have 2 options.
1)do master reset and retest it.
2) call your cell carrier.
I had a similar problem a few nights ago. All I had to do was reboot it.
That's all I need to do for a few random glitches.

No, data was enabled. I was able to browse the internet and such, so I don't think it was a connectivity problem. But it's fixed now, so I guess it really doesn't matter.

Will it be the APN settings problems?
In some country you have to set your mms APN manual
Mine does the same thing. A restart is only a temporary fix because it has done it again a day later or so. I have not found anything to fix it yet.
I am on 4g. Not on wifi. unlimited messages.

Try this on dialpad
*#*#4636#*#*
Wacth phone services
Then tap second right update buttom
It must be filled with Service Center Number, for sms/mms data. If you get 'update error', you may have a bug in system that prevents it from correctly setup of older sim cards (mostly cutted ones), if so, buy a new micro sim. It's cheap and solves a lot of small problems
Thanks, and if helps any way, share the learnin'

I tried this but every time I entered the code nothing popped up. But I think I've figured it out. It appears to only happen when I'm connected to a WiFi network. So I guess I just have to disconnect from WiFi if I want to send an MMS message.

Well, it'd boring this way. Try Apn Droid Pro on G play, it will keep mms on

I had the same issue, tried a number of things to fix it. Called Verizon and apparently it's a known issue that they expect to be fixed with the upcoming GB update. Other than that the only way I was able to workaround was installing Go SMS Pro, which sent MMS messages fine.
I figured out what the problem is! It stems back to the problem the Razr has with switching between 3G and 4G. In my house, I have to use WiFi because I live on the edge of a 4G service area. I get maybe one bar of 4G service, which without WiFi, pretty much refuses to do anything having to do with data. Apparently, even though WiFi is enabled, the MMS messages are NOT being transmitted over WiFi. So instead, it attempts to send them over 4G cellular data and fails because of the poor reception in my house. Switching the phone from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only before sending the messages (my signal reception jumps to 4 bars) allows it to send without failing.

everytime someone sends me a text pic I click download and nothing happens. It used to work perfectly but now its not. Do I have enable something in the options because im really confused.
You should be able to long press the image and select "save attachments" after that put a check in the box of the attachment(s) you want to save them click save or download. This is about as far as my advice goes. But it works for me every time.
Stock everything.
I had this problem on another phone recently and it was due to the apn settings. Do a search for your carriers apn settings and make sure they're there. Sometimes there's a specific mms apn setting you need to add

if that fixed it, that is good but I cant imagine that your smartphone is rendered useless for receiving messages or media while on wifi.

Try clearing data of the messaging app in setting>applications manager. Think it should fix it.

Try using an aftermarket app such as "Go SMS Pro" (it's free).

Problem with 3G
Hello,
I have this strange problem with my SHV-E210L, when I lose the carrier signal (i go in my garage for example), and when my phone finds the signal again, i can't get back automatically the data network (3G or G). then i must use the airplane mode or switch off the phone to recover the data network. Does anybody have this problem?
Thanks for your help

Maybe you have install an app killer, which will activate to stop your data network.

my data is registering at all.. what do i do
Hey guys,
I've had this phone for a while but i have been dealing with this increasingly annoying issue. I can't send or receive MMS messages for some reason. If i try to attach a picture, it does not send and when attempting to download a sent message, it fails and attempting to retry does not seem to even initiate another attempt.
Has anyone else faced this issue?
Super late to this thread but I am currently having the same issue, did you ever find a solution?
I think there is a problem with custom roms on using MMS /data. I use Straight Talk on At&T network and with right APN settings, I only get mms and no data for gapps like play store and maps. So if you want to keep using custom ROM switch to using 3G mode (it works for me, i get data +mms, everything works great except slower internet speeds). Or return to Stock ROM. I am using Stock ROM since last week (B331) and I am getting data+mms on 4G with the same straight talk apn settings.
IF not using custom ROM - then check your APN settings from network provider
