[Q] GALAXY S2 I9100 cannot send sms

Hi,
Since yesterday i cannot send any sms/mms.
The mobile is able to receive sms but when trying to send a new message i get a sending..... status and that's all. The message is not send.
I have checked the Message center number it is Ok
When changing my SIM to another phone ......it works
I contacted VODAFONE to send the setup.....they did it but nothing
I DO NOT WANT TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE.
Does anybody knows something?
Service stopped or anything?
Backup all your stuff and perform a factory data reset...it will fix the issue.

Hi snest,
I have the exact same issue, since 5th-Feb-2012. It seems to be related to the stock messaging app. Don't have a clue what went wrong, but it just stopped sending messages. I have no issues receiving though...
I've checked my logs and I didn't install anything. Perhaps I did some updates, I'm not sure...
I also called Vodafone PT to check if everything was ok, and it was.
So I decided to start my own testing in order to try to narrow down the problem.
1st test: different SIM. No go, same problem, which means the problem is on the phone.
2nd test: restore the latest ROM backup (CWM). It worked. I was able to send/receive SMS flawlessly. The only problem was the backup date... it was 2 months old. My bad.
--> At this point I realized that the problem was on the messaging app. Something messed with it.
3rd test: Install a messaging app from the market and re-test. So I flashed the current ROM back (I backed up just before test #2), and when it came up I re-tested. No go. Then I installed the Handcend Messaging app from the Market, tested, et Voilá. It works.
I tested the stock messaging app once again and nothing, but from Handcent works like a charm.
So it's proven: the problem is on the stock messaging app.
A hard reset will solve the issue for sure, but before going there I'd like to try to reinstall the stock messaging app, if possible...
If your S2 is not rooted yet, a hard reset is the (only) way to go. I don't see any other way to solve this...
Cheers
Hi, I had a similar problems a little while after I installed handcent. SMS stopped sending. I had done some messing around removing bloatware with titanium prior to that, so assumed it was something I had done. I went back and defrosted all the apps I had frozen, but SMS still not working :-( I then thought to reinstall handcent, after which the problem disappeared , so in my case it was the other messaging app causing the problem!
My advice would be to try a different SMS app and see if that fixes the problem. Might be enough to get things going again.

This was the reason why I installed Handcent - to try and "wake up" the stock messaging app. Handcent works flawlessly, but it didn't solve the original issue.
I never had any other messaging software installed before, and my bloatware was removed a long time ago (October 2011) right after flashing a new Android version (2.3.5). So this was not the root cause for the messaging app to stop sending sms...
Go SMS Solved the problem?
Hi All,
Thank your for your replies.
I installed the Go SMS and merely resolved the problem of sending SMS.
But still I can not sent via stock messaging apk .

Try clearing data from your Messaging app from menu > applications > manage applications.
Unfortunately cleaning data did not solve the problem.
Factory reset. Or do a clean flash of GB stock rom.
Same difference, pick your poison. You may not like it but that's the only thing that's going to fix the problem (unless it is a network/apn/sim problem).
Most probably the Message centre Number has got corrupted...
Do this..
Open messaging ... Menu... settings..scroll down to Message Centre..
Note down the number ...
Either contact the network service provider...or first check the network provider support forums...to see if the number is correct...
once this message centre number has been corrected..you should be able to send messages...
I dont use Go SMS... but if you see the number there...you can copy it to stock messaging app..
I forgot to update this thread... Sorry.
I managed to isolate the issue, and found that the problem was on the messaging app itself (mms.apk) that somehow got corrupted. I tried to reinstall from an old APK backup, but it got worse, it stopped working completely.
After several hours and many tests, I ended up restoring a 2 month old CWM image (equivalent to a Factory Reset). Then I fully restored a 2 days old backup (Titanium Backup) leaving out mms.apk. Problem solved.
In your case, my advice is:
1. Install Titanium Backup from the market and perform a Full Backup (to SD card, otherwise you'll just loose it);
2. Factory Reset;
3. Setup the basics, access the market, and install Titanium Backup;
4. Full Restore (all files) EXCEPT mms.apk.
This is the only way to have the messaging app to work again with minimum (acceptable) data loss. Good luck.
Excellent advice Mnico
Pls Help!!
Hello Guys!! I need some help here on how to be able to send sms. I tried using Handcent and Go SMS but to no avail. However, what confuses me is that I can send sms using a different carrier sim(Like Globe and Sun. Am wondering if im missing out on anything to make it work. I have s2 from korea/olleh on ver 4.0.3.. TIA

Hi macnaque.
Your problem is slightly different from the one that is being discussed on this thread... and a lot easier to solve as well.
It seems that your problem is due to a simple misconfiguration of the Message Centre number for your main carrier. Try the following:
- Boot the phone using your main carrier SIM. Then open the original Messaging app, and open "Settings". Scroll down to "Text Message (SMS) settings" and compare the number you have set under "Message Centre" to the one provided by your carrier. (you may need to check their website or call the customer support service to get it)
I had this same issue just 5 or 6 days after buying my S2. Somehow the last digit of the Message Centre number just... disappeared. Never happened again though.
Same issue fixed
I had the same issue on ShoStock rom on my SGH-I777, Put my sim in another phone and was able to receive messages just fine, BUt when I had my Sim out, I did a simple reboot on my phone and then put the Sim back in and rebooted the phone again and everything works just fine. I am pretty sure it had something to do with the efs folder and the IMEI number because when the sms wouldn't work, I could not open the efs folder but after the reboot and the sms working I can open the folder and view the contents,
I had the same problem. I tried everything and only installing rom by odin works for me.

DO NOT try and migrate call logs and text messages from an older version of Android!

i have been crashing left and right finally had to do a factory reset.
i was trying to bring my call logs and text/sms messages from international galaxy s2 running 2.3.4
i tried several ways, mybackup pro was the first... then just simple gosms pro backup/restore on sd card
both times it crashed my phone something crazy com.phone.service or something kept freezing, couldnt make calls or texts, etc
anyways, after factory reset 3 times i am just going to lose those logs... this is something Android needs to work on... while i HATED ITUNES... at least i could migrate all my stuff over without a hassle!
it has taken me over 5 hours to setup my Note just like my GS2!

I've had issue with GoSMS just totally screwing the pooch on its backup database, so it might have just been one of those cases for you. I was able to migrate from my XT860 just fine from a recent backup.
I used sms backup+, no problems so far. Restored 8000 texts.
I tried to import my old texts from my iphone using isms2droid and then SMS backup & Restore to restore the file that isms2droid made.
I haven't been able to run my Messaging app since then, and I think I'm going to have to factory reset this thing :-(
I used SMS Backup and Restore. No issues.
Another vote for SMS Backup and Restore. Also, he makes a similar app for call logs called Call Log Backup and Restore. I have used both going from every version of Android from 2.1-4.0.3 and back again.

Duplicate sent SMS with Handcent/GoSMS in LPQ ? (not in LPH)

I upgraded to XXLPQ (polish) from XXLPH yesterday.
I'm now seeing duplicate (2, somebody said 3) SMS's sent to a recipient for each one I send.
Received texts aren't duplicated
Only goSMS (or handcent) is set to notify
"stock" SMS app does NOT lead to duplicates
This didn't happen in XXLPH
Wanted to check if anyone else has this issue? Next step is probably clearing SMS data or indeed a full wipe
I got the same situation here. Everything Ok with stock messaging, but with Go Sms Pro, it duplicate sms >.< Looking for solution !!
Yep, same here, though i updated from gingerbread not from an ics beta.

It seems more likely to be an issue with the firmware. As it affects all 3rd party SMS apps. Pretty sure there aren't issues on the nexus so possible not a general ics issue?

I have the same issue but I'm also not getting contact pictures in any third party apps.. not in Go contacts, Go SMS, Handcent, Whatsapp.
Tried them all and I get nowt but the stock app gets the pictures perfectly. I've removed and re-added accounts a number of times but giving up now unless someone knows of a way around it.
Same problem
I'm also getting the same problem.
Did a full wipe before installing the ROM
Did not restore settings for go sms, but did restore my messages
I have also tried freezing messaging in titanium backup and disabling messaging in the settings. Neither seams to work.
Has anyone had any success with fixing this?
I am also facing this problem. First i thought this might be due to GO Sms . I uninstalled GO SMS and installed Handcent_SMS .. Same problem there
Sending duplicate messages (GO SMS and Handcent)
Not showing contact pictures in messages list (GO SMS and Handcent)
Anyone got the solution ???
Not sure, seems strange!
Possibly a Firmware issue, maybe a App issue
We shall see what other ssay!
same problem here
report the issue to the devs
did so for handset via email [email protected]
supply phone info
software info
and if possible logcat
Chainfire Kernel not to blame
I still have the problem after reverting to the stock kernel (3.0.15-I900XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3)
I was hoping that reverting back to stock kernel would fix it, but that is sadly not the case.
At least we know that it's not the chainfire kernel causing it
Same problem here (with Go SMS and browsertexting).
I have emailed both devs, I would suggest everyone sending emails to the app devs to hurry things along
Strikes me as something that has changed within the firmware from Samsung,
Gingerbread Roms (Official and cooked) never caused the issue for me whilst using Go SMS its like something within the ICS firmware is refusing third part apps access to the facebook contact photos.. or maybe its something within the Facebook app that's blocking third party stuff.
default sms app is giving me issues with sms ringtones not working
Hey all,
I updated to I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar
and getting the same, default messaging app is fine, but when I have any other messaging app installed all my messages are being sent twice. I have tested this with Go SMS and Handcent, so to me sounds more like a Samsung problem.
Back to using the default app for the moment so...

No point in doing that. As this happen with all 3rd party messaging app, it is clearly a firmware issue.
It's definitely not an ICS issue otherwise the GNexus would be affected as well.

It's definitely a firmware issue but app devs maybe able to fix or work around the issue faster then it takes Samsung to correct it. Can't hurt
Pretty big bug for Samsung to cause between previous leak and LPQ and not notice
Do we have any contacts at Samsung we can report this to? Maybe someone can contact the great CyanogenMod creator who now works at Samsung to put in a small word lol

Hi everybody!
I'm also affected by the double sms bug.
I also tried to freeze the stock messaging app with titanium, BUT, now, I can't unfreeze it... have someone the same problem? have someone a solution?
titanium tell the app have been unfreeze, but it don't. I've tried several unfreezing app, with no more success.
If there's no solution, can i flash again LPQ with Odin to resolve this mess?
Thank you!
What Rom's are we all using?
Am i right in thinking there is more than one regional variation of ICS out at the moment? Does it happen on all variations or just one?
ROM: WanamLite 9.3
Network: O2-UK
App: GOSMS

Have you restored all the settings by Titanium Backup? Because I had the same issue when I always flashed a new rom and restored everything by Titanium Backup. TB is good for restoring apps but if you restore your sistem via TB that can cause problems.
Thanks for replying so fast!
No, i didnt do a full wipe anyway when upgrading from omega v27.2 to v29, so i didn't need to backup and restore with Titanium Backup...
You think a full wipe would resolve the problem?
Thx

Gosh... im such an idiot... of course this was the problem
Thank you very much anthropolyte!
This actually brings me to another question:
I had a similiar problem, I always got the small "1" on the message app icon, eventhough no new message arrived... Restart sometimes fixed this problem, but not allways... Does anyone know more about this problem?
Thx so much for your help!
No worries
Regarding the notification, it's likely you have an old message somewhere in your messages list... if you don't, I seem to recall there was a known bug where that happened. Try doing a search.

I already checked, there are no old messages, i even deleted them all.
I also tried several possible solutions, but not a single one helped... The problem also seems to happen randomly...
- I restarted the phone
- I deleted the cache
- I deleted the cache of the "BadgeProvider.apk"
- I deleted the message app icon and replaced it on the home screen from the app list
None of the solutions helped... If anyone has another idea, i would be greatly thankful!

Messenger crashes and stops working after SMS restore

Hi,
I have just completely formatted my phone, installed latest cm9 and now using sms backup+ to restore around 10k sms but once I do, Messenger crashes everytime I open it. I tried only restoring a maximum of 500 sms and messenger will not complain if I do that. Does anyone have had any similar experiences and what was your fix?

AFAIK thats because of the limitations in the stock messenger of CM9 ma8
either try upgrading ur phone to latest CM10 and then try restoring back ur SMS bkp or u can try some third party SMS app from stores and see
are you moving from a stock rom/non-cm? because i think cm and stock use different sms database formats AFAIK

I was coming from an older version of cm9. All my SMS messages are backuped to my gmail. I guess I will try cm10 although it is still broken (sigh).

If I install samsung stock rom, then use titanium backup after restoring all my SMS messages from cloud, install cm9 and then restore it, would this fix the issue?
