Hi Guys,
My Galaxy S2 simply will not send any text messages.
It's a UK phone running on Orange network.
It was fine until last night, when I decided to root my phone.
Used ODIN and flashed with the insecure kernel, then rooted using the S2 Root app, and reflashed with 'I9100XWKE2_Kernel'
Now, whatever I do, text messages simply will not send. I've been in to Wireless and Network settings and enabled packet data etc, but nothing works,
Have I installed the wrong kernel, firmware etc?
Have you checked if your Message Centre Number is right?
SMS Screen -> Menu Soft Button -> Settings

Love you!
Never seen this number disappear before! Rooted my previous phone {Desire} and installed 100s of clean install ROMs over and over, odd!
where did it go?...
Have also developed this problem recently (possibly as a consquence of migrating from Litening Rom to Criskelo Rom), but I see people with new phones also have it so that may be unrelated.
I've checked the Settings both in Stock SMS and GO SMS Pro, but don't see an option for Message Centre number anywhere ... am I going blind, looking in the wrong place, or has the setting been moved elsewhere?
As on Criskelo Rom, Android is at 2.3.4.
Any ideas gratefully received ... really do not want to do a factory reset in the hope that it will get fixed ...
thanks.

I tried changing the value via the #*#*4636*#*# menu but it doesn't 'stick'.
thanks.
SMS problems
For those who experience problems with the SMS, probably the message center number has disappeared and displays as Not Set.
Open the SMS app and then press the left soft key Menu> select Settings>select Message Centre and type any of the numbers below in the Message Centre input box (depending on your network provider):
O2 - +447802000332
Vodafone - +447785016005
Orange - +447973100973 or +447973100974
It will sort you out

Just a heads up that this doesn't work on quite a few custom ROMs since they don't have an SMSC setting in the SMS app.
I ran in to this problem when I messed with the "preferred network type" setting in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. The only reason I did that is because my phone was stuck on 2G after upgrading my version of Resurrection Remix and I thought this would help. It didn't, and to be honest none of that menu seems to work properly on this phone. Settings don't stick and messing with them seems to screw stuff up in general, though perhaps I'm just stupid (likely).
My SMSC was then set to 00 and I kept getting an "update error" message when I tried to change it back to the right number. I flashed working backups of previous versions of Resurrection, only to have the problem persist (is this setting held on the SIM, rather than on the phone?) and even tried flashing to an old GB version of Lite'ning, still the problem persisted.
In the end I flashed back to stock Samsung ICS, and the SMS app in that ROM has a setting for SMSC when you press menu key -> settings. It was really annoying having to flash back to stock just to fix it, but I assume any ROM based on the stock Samsung version of ICS (rather than AOKP or CM9 based ROMs) will have this setting in the SMS app.
Just a tip for those not on stock Samsung based ROMs, I was tearing my hair out trying to fix the SMSC setting and thought this tip might be helpful.

I have the same problem, but nothing seems to work. After I flashed Resurrection 2.6 sms just stopped working. I flashed stock ICS. Same. I wiped everything I could wipe. I flashed other 3 ICS stock roms. Same problem. Flashed Paranoid Android ROM, now I'm back for the stock. The message Centre nr is correct, I tried *#*#4636#*#* and the SMSC code is correct there as well, but it is still not sending SMS. I am reaching my limit... I don't know what to do! I feel like I have tried everything...

Try flashing a complete older official firmware package then flash back to the latest using Kies?

Tried it. Flashed official carrier branded GB. Kies upgraded to ICS official soft. Upgrade worked, but it's still failing every sent text message. Again, checked and the message center number is correct, everything else works perfect, it's like a new phone, but with no possibility to send text messages. I have rooted and installed custom ROMS for years now on so many android phones with no problem, this is just ridiculous...
same problem.....
with go sms i can send messages, with stock message application doesn't work.
And i have succesfully configured the SMSC value
Check your carrier, I've had same exact problem and even went back to Gingerbread and upgraded to ICS officially. My carrier did something, elevate it past the customer service reps.

SOLVED!!!
I solved it! I walked into an Orange Shop and the girl checked their servers and there was a problem from the network. She reset something and then it worked with no problem. It took 2 minutes to solve! I flashed so many roms for nothing. Well, back to AOKP now... I'm happy!
Hello all,
I have ICS (4.0.3 XXLPH kernel and modem), resurrection ROM 9.3 on my SGSII, when every I try to dial any number directly it hangs, and I need to press home button, and the dialer kept hanged, I tried to resinstall the ROM again and again, full wipe of course, clear cache clear dalvic and fix permissions, this happens to me since ICS resurrection 9.1, I beleive there is something wrong with me only cause no one adviced about this in the ROM section.
if you have any idea or any experience you may share, please do it and I will apprecite it
note: I can not dial any number at all since 1 month , I can only call the numbers I have them saved. the problem solved when I rstart the phone for sometime only, thne back to be slow, then complete stuck
alot of thx
Bye

just want to draw your attention, that after hangs, a massive battery drain happens to my phone, and I can feel the heat around the back camera.
As the rom is built on a leaked buggy beta test rom ICS expect problems that's what beta means .
Problem unlikely to be the phone and it now has no warranty .
jje
even it only happens to me... but it's right what u said, this is what beta is made for ... alot of thanx for your reply , I will try to install another ROM soon
This is happening on my phone too! strange! have you found the culprit of the issue? Can share with me?

My phone have 2 very weird issues since returning from the Service Center. 2 weeks back after changing my kernel to SiyahKernel 3.1rc5, I noticed my wifi no longer works (it was not be able to find any AP and will keep searching then automatically switch off). I reflash the phone back to stock GB ROM and stock kernel everything and confirm the wifi hardware is somehow damaged. I sent the phone to the Service Center and they have the motherboard replaced. Wifi works after that.
First thing I got home is to nandroid restore my phone prior to servicing. Wifi works now but I could not make any calls, sms or use mobile internet. I then realised the phone did not request for me to enter my SIM card PIN (I have always enabled this) when booting up. Once I disable the SIM card PIN, my calls, sms and mobile internet works! Funny thing is this problem only affect Samsung ICS ROMs (any firmware as I have tested many in the past 2 weeks), but the same SIM card lock function works fine with CM9 or Samsung GB ROMs. Just for the record, I tested this on pure stock Samsung ICS ROMs (no custom ROMs or kernels).
Another issue is the Power menu is missing (the menu that appears giving options to reboot or power off, and no I am not talking about the APM in custom ROMs). Now when the phone is not in standby, holding the power button will send the phone to shutdown immediately instead of presenting the usual power menu. Again, this only happens with a Samsung ICS ROM and not with CM9 or Samsung GB ROM.
I am not sure how the new motherboard could have caused all these software issues but I am fairly certain it is a hardware issue so I need some confirmation or possible fix if it is software related. I was thinking of sending my phone back to the service center but my problem is that these issues only affects Samsung ICS ROMs but ICS isn't official release in my country yet (yes I know it has been ages since the first official ICS ROM for the international SGS2 was released), so I can't really show these problems to the service center with ICS on my SG2.
I have captured the logcat of my phone with the above 2 issues with the following action sequence performed on the phone: Phone boots, Call (to 1633), test SMS, remove SIM card lock, Call (to 1633), Hold power button.
Any expert review on my issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Edit: problem solved without need for logcat, thus removed
Anyone has any idea what is the problem with my phone?

Maybe check your efs\imei folder the they keystr file? I had this problem before and the keystr file had disappeared after a flash

This was the solution! Thanks a million!!!
It had not occurred to me that the problem was with the /efs folder as the CM9 & GB ROMs didn't show the symptoms.
Thanks once again.
After changing my wife's SGS3 from stock to a custom ROM she's having constant SMS sending failures (i.e. Not a single SMS can be sent at any time, from any where. Recieving SMS is fine). No such problems on stock, but on OMEGA v8, Foxhound 1.1, and Blackstar v3 sending SMS fails every time. Apart from that all custom ROM's work perfectly, and all were installed after full wipe/factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik.
Any suggestions?

Have you checked your sms message centre number ??
Fixed
Thanks vegeta1, that did the trick With helpful replies like that your "Thanks" count will soon be OVER 9000!!!
For anyone else running into the same problem, here's the fix:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*.
Select "Phone Information"
Scroll down until you find "SMSC"
Refresh it.
This should fix the issue, but if refreshing the SMSC doesn;t work you'll have to enter it manually and press "Update". Luckily I could get the correct number from my phone and enter it on my wife's

that was really nice thing to say mate
thanku so much

I installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my phone and I've been having nothing but problems with APn settings and not being able to send MMS.
I keep getting No APN specified on device and I can't send MMS messages.
I've reinstalled the rom many times reseting factory settings and wiping dalvik cache.
I've tried using APN backup and restore app to backup from stock rom and restore the apn settings to CM 11..
Nothing is working
I'm about to give up and find another rom..
And now for some reason I cant even access the APn settings in CM11.. The menu option isnt there..
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Its a CDMA phone and my carrier is Cricket Wireless its the 3g CDMA plan Galaxy S3 before they merged with aio and now use GSM phones and new plans..
CM 11 - 11-2014078-SNAPSHOT-M8-d2lte
If no one has any suggestions can anyone recommend a good bug free fast and clean rom?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I've since tried installing Carbon Rom and same issue there.. I can't send MMS messages. Keeps saying no APN specified on device..
I tried looking up Crickets apn settings and entering them manually but every time I change the MNC? setting the APN just vanishes.
I tried just leaving that field alone and just setting the rest but I still couldnt send MMS messages..
I'm going crazy here..
I rooted my phone and now Im stuck on 4.1.2 unless I use a custom rom as rooted my phone wont let me update the stock rom..
I really liked both Cyanogen and Carbon my phone ran AMAZING compared to stock but without MMS messages and constant APN error popups I can't take it...
Any ideas?
