Can't send sms! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Strange bug here, I can receive sms, call, receive calls, surf on the internet, but I can't send sms!
My config is in my sig.
It happens on both roms so it's not Rom related, I tried to flash again the modem, even restored efs but no help.
Some ideas?

What network are you on??

Sfr in France. I don't have time yet to see if it's a provider issue. It worked till yesterday evening.

Usual is SMS settings message centre wrong details .

Right, I fixed it, but it's not possible on aosp sms app ? Go sms enables to customize it. On stock Rom no problem with stock sms app.

[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.

CM9 and MMS

Hello,
First of all, thank you for you all for you so good work !!
I have installed CM9 Beta4 on my Legend. Everything is OK (included GPS), except the reception and sending of MMS.
I tried everything I could find on google but I didn't succees to solve my problem (the default parameters of CM9 are good).
My operator is SFR (France).
Is there a solution or should I leave CM9 for CM7 ?
Thank you for your answer.
I tried with CM7 and it works ....
The stock messaging app does not work for mms, you need to use 3rd party app. when I'm on zeubeas rom I use handcent, you can also use go SMS but I personalty do not like go SMS anymore since its recent updates.
When using handcent you must change the settings in handcent and make it the default app to handle SMS and mms.

Thx ranger4740 but it didn't work ....
I tried with Handcent, then with Go SMS Pro ...
You also need to have mobile data turned on too, this is a common issue in cm roms. You will also need to check with your carrier for your correct apn.

Even with data turned on it doesn't work .... and for the parameters of APN I tried different parameters I found on google.
My carreir gives the parameters too for my phone (always the same parameters, except for the APN) but nothing works ...
I am condemned to retourn to CM7 ....:crying:

sorry I couldn't help
Sometimes I get lazy when sending MMS on CM7 regarding the toggling of mobile data, so I just share whatever image I want to send to the URLy app and send the link instead. Much faster than turning on 3G, selecting the image, waiting for it to send, and finally turning off 3G.
Sent from my Nexus 7 on the XDA app. GO CANADA GO
Thank you .... I will try.
But the problem is not the sending but the reception ...
OK, I think I found the problem ....
I deleted all APNs, I rebooted the phone and creates only the APN for MMS..... and it works !!! MMS can be send and I can receive them.
But when I create the APN for data it didn't work anymore ..... I am obliged to delete the data APN and to reboot the phone ...
I continue my investigations ....
Some news on my problem of reception MMS.
I receive a MMS message asking me to download the attachment.
When I click to "download", the icone "3G" (or "H") flashes 2 or 3 seconds, as if there was conflict with the connection of the data 3G (when 3G is active, no icone when 3G is not active).
I always look for a solution....
Thank you guys

[Q] Galaxy SIII Not Receiving Text Messages

Hi,
I recently helped a colleague purchase a Galaxy SIII phone here in China, Guangzhou and made sure I checked the phone over completely before I purchased it.
I've done a search on the forums and check out anything that may be similar, but to no avail.
The problem is:
The phone will not receive any text messages, or at least they don't go through to the messaging app.
Text messages were being received normally for around a week
I disabled a bunch of pre-installed Chinese crap that is unfortunately not un-installable as it's baked into the ROM
It happened once, so I factory reset it, and then tested it. The text messages worked fine
I then disabled the Chinese stuff once again and installed Skype. Just to be sure, I sent more test text messages, and they were all received fine.
Around one week later, here we are, she says that text messages are not being received again.
All other functions of the phone are working. Internet / Edge network, sending texts, Play store, everything. Just not the receiving of texts!
I'm fairly confused as to this behaviour, particularly as it seems the text messages are working for a time limited period.
I had some inklings of what it could be:
- The SIII takes a micro-sim, the shop "manually" chopped the SIM using a cutter. Could this have damaged the SIM and caused this behaviour?
- The phone itself is faulty
- Something is up with the China Mobile settings / network and she needs to call them.
What would be your diagnosis, ideas, solutions XDA'ers?
Further information of any kind is, of course, available on request.
**** My ideas for a fix ****
Root the bastard and get a standard UK ROM on the phone to see if it works. However, I have some concerns. Years ago, when I bought my first HTC desire, when I rooted and put a UK ROM on it, I discovered that my phone was an imported Thai version of the phone and almost bricked it into a reboot loop as the phone didn't like a different regions ROM being loaded on.
I had to go through a convoluted process of making a specially edited SD-card to fool the phone into accepting different ROMS. Is this the case with the Galaxy SIII or have times moved on to more sophisticated means?
Thanks.

Have you try other messaging apps like Hancent SMS or Go SMS to confirm that msg service is not working?
Or maybe the CSC is causing the problem?

Open the stock messaging app. In its menu go to settings. Check that there is a number recorded under message centre. If not use Google to find the number for the carrier you are with and enter it.
I'm on an unrooted phone with a stock Rom and twice messaging has stopped working. The cause was that this number had spontaneously disappeared.

Ok, I've tried:
- alternative messaging apps, and they're not picking it up either.
- the message centre number.
When you say CSC? You mean the carrier code? It was bought in China and fitted with a Chinese ROM, but I'll look at the ROM settings and see what it is.
Thanks.
U dial *#1234# then you can see your csc
CSC – (Consumer Software Customization) Refers to the specific country or carriers for that said firmware is being build.
This where it contains the default settings of each specific geographical region, carrier network providers and network data connections.

I am having this problem. It was all working fine then suddenly it stopped. I don't know what could be the cause but I fooled around with the settings, deleted old text messages and then suddenly I received dozens of text messages.
It's like my phone isn't trying to receive any text messages. It can send text messages out but it won't receive any.
I am using Omega 31.1.
Can someone help me out please?

[Q] Can not recieve SMS, Can send

I'm unable to recieve SMS messages. I can't receive them under any circumstances. I'm currently on shostock2, but I've also tried Aberration and no luck there either.
As said, I can't receive messages, but I can send them. I also am able to use the data connection and make/receive calls.
The things I've tried are:
Delete mms app data
delete all messages
Send myself a message (doesn't receive)
Tried GO SMS app
Made sure auto receive is on in app
Factory Reset ROM
Flash another ROM
Tried the newest Siyah kernel
Also I've contacted ATT and went through the troubleshooting steps they want wanted. I obviously don't know what they were trying on their end, but nothing was working there either. They gave me a resolution date of the 22nd, which is a bit longer than I'd like to wait.
So, any ideas folk? I'd really like to get messaging back!!!
Full wipe + format system + format data.
Don't restore from TiBu.
And try...

Had the same issue earlier. What worked for me was taking out the sim and putting it in a different phone real quick then swap it back in. When I rebooted I had all my messages. Hope this helps
