Problem with Messages related pop-up "Currently unable to send your message"
I have a problem with the SMS sending software.
It'll VERY often keep a message at the screen when it fails to send a message because of lack of carrier coverage and it'll be there popping on the screen for some time indefinitely (starts fading out then fades in again... loop). The problem is it overlaps the other apps I switch to after hitting Send.
This has aways happened and I didn't manage to find the fix yet (already factory reseted since I got this phone). Is there any setting? I'm sending the screen attached.
What bugs me more is that there's a setting on the Messages app which seems related to it, and it's already disabled. In fact I don't know the purpose if this setting because any value I choose I can see nothing different. (It's in the Notifications part. It's called "Display message on screen", the options are "Sent success only", "Sent failure only", "Sent success and failure" and "None".)
I already tried solving this with HTC support but didn't have much luck. If you know what this setting is and about the issue with the ever popping pop-up "Currently unable to send your message. It will be sent when the service becomes available." any explanation would be highly appreciated!!
PS. Even found this topic but with no solution (with the exception the message actually stops by itself after a little time).
I'd expect the message to show once to let me know what's happening and that when signal is restored it'll attempt to send it again, and not the phone to keep repeating it to death.

Can someone please help me with my long going problem?
Intermittently, when replying to a text message (either in stock messaging or handcent, etc) the phone does not send the text message, and refuses to send for up to a minute after retrying, then the message will eventually send.
This has been happening for MONTHS, and I have had my HTC hero replaced through orange several times regarding the issue, as they had identified it as a handset fault. I then got a replacement SIM from orange aswell to try and rectify the issue, but shortly after registering my new SIM, the issue still occurs.
It seems someone in this thread has the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665932
I tried the "fix", ie. making sure all numbers were in international number format (+44...) but this made no difference.
As I said, this issue is intermittent and RANDOM, but happens around 3 times a day. It is very frustrating especially when trying to reply to a text urgently.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Before anyone asks, yes my message centre number is correct (+447973100973).
It only seems to be when replying to a text message, well that is when i notice it anyway.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
I started to get this when I rooted to VR12, it did it alot the first couple of days then didn't do it much. I've now unrooted to orange 2.1, its done it twice in a week. It didn't do it at all on 1.5, maybe a coincidence. Location doesn't matter either.
I noticed this issue. I updated to 2.1 and found im having the same problem. Its intermittent so i cant tell what is forcing it to "retry". Only noticed this since going from 1.5 ---> 2.1.
I installed Darkstone's Froyo Sense v1 and just today gave me the error. Friend of mine actually mentioned it earlier today. We tested it a few times. When I sent him an mms, I got the error, but he still got it. The little envelope icon remained on my message. Tried it again with another friend and same thing, but after 2min the message was sent.
I had the same problem.
I fixed it by entering the service number in the service-menu of the radio. DIAL *#*#4636#*#* and you will see the menu comming up. Take the upper option. Scroll down and update your servicenumber there. While you are there check if the prefferd network is " gsm auto prl" instead of "wcdma". It can save some power.
Goodluck.

Hi mcall_r
just wondering if any of these suggestions fixed your problem as I'm having the same issue. mach2005 where do you get the service number from to enter?
Me too!
Hi,
I've been having this issue too. Along with all the other bugs introduced with 2.1 it's been driving me nuts.
The issue seems to occur intermittently and with a variety of numbers. Normally I get the notification sound, a text icon with an exclamation mark in the notification bar and the text 'unable to send text message'. After a while it normally resolves itself and the message is sent however with one number, my mum's, the problem always persists.
Initially I tried checking the message centre number, ultimately I tried a master reset, without any joy. Then I got a new SIM from Orange, which still hasn't resolved the issue. I can pop the SIM into another phone and send messages to her number so it's definitely the phone.
Just today I noticed that I had an unread text from 'Anon' deep in my message thread, which apparently had come from nowhere (I have observed this before). After deleting the thread I was again able to text my mum, is this just a coincidence? Seriously pissed off with this issue but hoping it is now finally resolved. The messaging in Android/Sense seems fubar, I've also had issues with it resolving to the wrong contact when selecting 'Send message' from another contact. Anyone had these same issues in combination with the 'cannot send text message' error?
Howdy folks,
Happy Friday to you.
I am using a Vibrant (TMO) and when I try to send a text message on my corp. wi fi, (first of all it takes over 30 seconds to get away from the Sending message) on occasion I get a: "failed" error and have to resend, but then i get the error message that "service is not available, try resending when it is" or something to that effect.
It seems to be related to wifi connectivity, when I look back at the "chat bubble" (blue for me) it then appears to have a time stamp like it was sent, and confirmed by the recipient that it eventually does.
Curious if anyone has seen this inconsistent behavior. On wifi those messages should fly, but getting time outs on occasion. Also, WiFi indicator someitmes also shows Edge/3G signal icon simulaneously which I don't believe should happen.
Thanks gang!

Is it just me or does this happen to everyone? It happens every time not randomly.
I get a hangouts (or text though hangouts) and I reply by voice with watch. If someone sends me a message again before my message says sent (or even right after with in a couple seconds) then my message never goes through unless I go check the dialog chat even though I get the green check box saying sent...
Very annoying! !

This is happening to me sometime but still haven't got to replicate and troubleshoot this issue
I am having the exact issue as well. It doesn't seem to be limited to just getting another hangouts message, but another notification period.
Getting a notification around the same time seems to almost always cancel my outbound message and it doesn't show up anywhere even though the watch says Sent. I have no idea how to fix this, is there any direct way to report these problems to the development team?
Hi Guru's,
I'm getting frequent Text Msg failure notices, a pop-up saying Text Messenger has stopped, with an "OK" button that must be clicked or the screen stays locked on that pop-up. It was only happening in group texts with rapid texting between multiple people at one time, but now it's happening randomly, even when texting with individuals.
In addition to this error, there are some cases when pictures or attachments will show they're loading (downloading with the spiraling circle), yet the download never comes in and the spiral never stops spinning. I end up deleting that text to make it go away. It never attempts to reload.
In an effort to help with diagnosis, I've closed all apps when texting and I still get these errors. The only two apps open when I'm texting is the stock texting app that came with the phone - with Swift-Key ... and as stated, I'm on Verizon with a phone bought at the Verizon store.
I've done everything I know to do, except a Factory Reset.
Anyone have any helpful answers/solutions?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Are you using the Verizon messanger? What is the specifics on that?
Not using Verizon's text app.
Mostly because Verizon keeps secondary copies even after I delete them.
Since I wrote that and having surfed every thread on similar topics, I decided the best course of action was to back up and do a Factory Reset.
It worked, but I've got issues with notification settings that I'm working through.
First-World problems. ;- )
Hi. A long time ago I have sent a group message and got the feedback prompt "messages has not been sent".
I have ignored this as only two of the recipents were wrong.
Now I don't have that message anymore on my phone but I keep getting the prompt.
The phone shows it each every hour or two. What's worse it pushes it to my smatwatch which rings as if I got a real sms. It's very iritating.
I have wiped out the cache of the sms app but it didn't help.
So the question is how to fix this?
I don't want to loose all my sms messages - many of them are important to me.
You may have to delete the problem message. I have done this by long-pressing it and then selecting to delete it (I just checked that this works on Google Messages). In theory, that should stop it from trying to send it to the bad contacts... of course, it also means you'll lose the message, but it's only one, so it may be ok?
