So my girlfriend just put through the ICS update on her Amaze last night. Everything seemed to go well from what she told me except that her messages will not load. When she brings up her sms threads they appear to be updating and she is unable to send or receive any texts. Any suggestions or thoughts on how to fix this? She has already rebooted with no luck. She will not reset the damn thing in fear of loosing game data.
Thanks in advance,

Reset would be the best option or re-update via the ruu image.

I cannot send text messages from my phone, it comes up as failed as soon as i tap send, it happened on froyd, so i went to cronos, it happened on cronos, so i went to 2.1 sensehero, still didnt work, so I bit the bullet and unrooted using the 2.73.61.66 ruu, didnt work, got the ota update to 2.1, still doesn't work, anybody else having this problem?, is there a fix?, as i can recive texts, make and recive calls, us mobile data fine, its just outgoing texts, its kinda annoying notbeing able to send texts
Have you contacted orange? (the obvious people to contact for this issue...)
I also get this problem on T-Mobile, although I only started to happen since updating to 2.1 ROMS. I've tried different 2.1 ROMs and different radios but the problem is still there. Was never an issue on 1.5.
My texts do eventually send though, they just fail the 1st time I try and then the phone automatically tries again. 2nd attempt usually works as I have delivery reports turned on to check.
A friend also has this problem with his Hero, although he is running official 2.1 update straight from T-Mobile.
Maybe it's just something HTC forgot to fix / didn't notice was a problem in their 2.1 Hero update... like the bug where you can't hide sim contacts in the phonebook (but you can in contacts).
Open up your Messages application. Press Menu -> Settings.
Click on "Service Center" - it should then say +447973100973. If it doesn't, type it in and press okay.
Your messages should then send !
i agree with Alex here as that is the most obvious one, if that doesn't work then contact orange to make sure there are no other issues...
thanks guys, i did as alex suggested, and all was perfecly fine,
thanks so much!

No problem, glad it worked !
Hi guys
It has happened twice now that my phone has started receiving an MMS prior to every SMS that comes in. The MMS is empty and it comes from "unknown".
The first time a couple of weeks ago, I was on the phone for 14 hours to fix it; re-installed everything on it including flashing SBF's and starting clean. Nothing helped. After a day the issue magically took care of itself.
Now it started again, 4-5 days ago. I have installed everything fresh (SBF to 1.2.6, 1.5.7 OTA & 1.8.3 OTA), did a factory reset & formated both internal & external storage space; issue still there on an absolutely stock phone. Called the helpdesk of my provider as well, they've never heard of the issue before.
On a desperate attempt to fix it I accidentally removed the messaging apk, took a good while to find one again..
Does anyone have any other ideas I can try? Please, it's driving me mad..

Thanks for your help. I found it easier to start a less congested thread with all the background summarized. Hope I didn't crush the internet by doing so..
Are you using Handcent or Chomp? Is whatever you are using your "default" message app? I was getting duplicate MMS messages until I went into my actual contact list, selected a contact, then tried to send a message to them, it then prompted me to select my message app. I am using Handcent, so I selected Handcent and put a check mark in use as default. I no longer have the problem. Hope this helps...

Thanks for your reply, I am using Chomp sms and it is the default messaging app. It's not that though, I am receiving an empty MMS 5-10 seconds before every SMS I receive. It was the first thing I tried when I returned to stock as I describe above, issue was there. Immensely frustrating..
Bumping this up, need urgently advise as I'm about to throw the damn thing out the window..
Just spoke with the o2 helpdesk, there's nothing they can see /. They have now shut off my data connection, I have disabled all data and I am still getting that fckng MMS!!!
Update: Solved. Got a new SIM. Or that I asked them to freeze my data connection & the new SIM kick-started it again & removed the issue. Goes to show again the incompetence of (many) helpdesk agents; they insisted it was phone related..
Data works on my phone and I can receive texts, i just can't send texts or make phone calls. I tried installing a new ROM to see if that was it, but it did not fix. It started while i was on the phone with someone yesterday out of nowhere and it still doesn't work.
Hmm, no calls.. That sounds more like a bigdaddy619 question.
You may want to RUU back to stock and see if it works. But I would wait for another opinion before doing that.
Thanks man, I appreciate you trying to help with both my problem =D
I am on beans build 20 and just today I cant send any sms or mms messages. I tried another app too (gosms) I can get on the Internet just fine (im posting this via lte so I know I have data) anytime I go to send a message it says that the service is un available and the message will sent when the service becomes available. I need to try and fix this. Heres what ive tried so far.
Re flashing the modem
Tried a different rom (carbon everything kept force closing so I couldn't try a message)
And finally restoring a backup of beans
Nothing of those worked.
Heres what my about phone says.

hey bro, word of advice, I'd edit iut your number in that screen shot
Thanks bro. I missed that.
Well it just started working again. Maybe it was on Verizons end? But family members in the same room as me were able to send texts just fine during the time I couldn't.
I got my G3 yesterday. I can send/receive calls and I can receive text messages, but I cannot send text messages. Messages state "Sending" and then fail. I have rebooted, reset to factory, pulled the battery, and done an ancient smartphone dance, but nothing is working. Ideas?
Attach to wifi and perform Profile and PRL update.

Did that, no change.
Hmmmmm. Call Customer Care. Maybe they can take care of something on the network side.

Nice! Glad it ended up working for you!
Ha same problem on my G3 from Videotron. Had to reset to factory to get working again. Wi try the updates you guys are talking cause it takes hell of a time to send them sometimes. Receiving works all the time. Is just sending. Maybe ill try the ancient smartphone dance too just because it looks like a cool way to fix this
