[Q] Help! I can't send text messages but..... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

It's been a week now and I still can't send any text messages.
I receive msgs but unable to respond back...
I thought it was because I finally updated to Jellybean (I've had ICS for awhile so I thought I should just stick to that) but then I downgraded last night to ICS and I still can't send messages.
well today I tried fixing it but still no luck, although I tried sending an MMS instead, I sent myself a picture and it worked! even tried it to other numbers and they received it. I also tried adding a text with the picture and it did work. but it's still not working when I just type in a text...
so anyway in short, I can't send SMS but can send MMS (and receive messages as well)
also extra: I can call people but whenever they call me it comes up as unknown number...
Does anyone of you know what might be the problem? How can I fix it? Thanks
EDIT: and btw I already checked the message centre number and it has the right number in it so I don't think the issues w/ that

I suggest using titanium backup to store user apps and data, then using mr.cook's rom wipe script to allow you to start from a blank slate, then re-install the desired firmware (whatever version)
You could work at fixing this issue individually, but (to me) it's a sign that something more fundamental went wrong, and that other issues may be soon to follow.
It isn't clear whether you upgraded to a stock jellybean, or maybe a 4.1.2 custom jellybean, or maybe a 4.2.2 custom jellybean, or a 4.3 jellybean. The latter, a 4.3 upgrade from ICS has the highest potential for weird issues if a thorough rom-wipe isn't conducted... whichever path was taken, The i777 runs all versions of jellybean well, and something like this suggests that the "upgrade" was not conducted from a clean slate, hence the suggestion for a rom-wipe and re-install.

can't text
Are you unable to text because a keyboard won't open? My daughter couldn't text (never figured out why - she always had a keyboard appear) so she got a replacement, and when I inherited her phone because mine has battery issues, I go through periods when I can't text because no keyboard appears. I have to into settings and play around with assigning a default keyboard before it will finally appear. Doesn't matter if I'm using the stock keyboard or one I've downloaded from a VERY reliable source - I still have to reassign and reassign and reassign to make it work. Powering off the phone doesn't do a thing.

[Q] Stock (htc) Messenger Not Splitting SMS

Hi, I am a somewhat new user here starting originally with xtrsense 4.6.5. I am now using v 5.0.1 but I believe all the xtrsense roms use the original sense message app from stock 2.1.
My issue is that the messenger doesn't seem to split the messages up before sending them. From what I have read this isn't a problem for verizon users but I am not on verizon. I have set up my apn, prl, and everything else manually to get the phone to work, but this is the one last bug that I haven't been able to solve.
I know that I could use go sms or handcent, but I kinda like just sticking with htc's messenger. Does anyone know which files I could edit to help change this. I just downloaded the android sdk today so that I could poke around from the computer instead of just on the phone itself with a file manager. Also out of curiosity, where is the mms max message size stored? I think the default 1.2Mb is working fine but I want to play with some of the mms settings to see if I can get a better quality receiving/sending. I think it's just that my user agent isn’t really understood on this carrier, so I should change it to an android phone that they do have.

[Q] SMS Issues

Hello everyone. I recently ran into a problem, my text messages stopped sending. I am running the latest version of the community rom with the latest OTB kernel from nemesis2all. I have been running this setup since release and have had absolutely no problems. Until today.
Earlier this morning I was texting a couple people as usual. I use chompSMS as my messaging application. Sitting there writing a text when I get the "updates are available" notification from the market. I finish my text and start to update my apps. Everything seems to update just fine so then I reply to another text. It won't send. I try sending it again. No dice. Send like 5 other people a text. Nothing happens, besides "send failed" notifications. All of a sudden I get the crash vibrations and then my phone reboots, and I still can't send texts.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have had this phone since September and have been flashing roms since before that. I know a pretty good amount of information but have never ran into a problem quite like this.
Does the stock messaging give you the same errors? If so revert to the last known working version of chomp with titanium.
good day.

Yes, the stock app gives me the same errors. I have tried reverting back to an older chomp and that doesn't work either. Everything else works, like calls, 3g data, gps, and I can receive texts. I just cannot send anything. It will try to send for like 5 minutes or so before I get a "send failed".
EDIT:Got it working. Didn't realize TiBu had latest version of chomp. Found an earlier version and everything works as it should. Thanks chopper.

[Q] Why do texts stop sending?

For the life of me I cannot figure out why this is happening. I have rerooted and re-odin'd froyo countless times and always have the same problem. After a while my texts stop sending, I will go to send a text and it shows a timestamp and says 'sent' then I'll exit messaging and won't receive a response from whoever I'm texting. I open up messaging again and I see the timestamp change to whatever the current time is and says sent, I've noticed if I put the phone down and watch that the sent timestamp changes with the time. The messages never send though, as no one receives them and also it is only with text messages because MMS works fine. Example: I'll send a text at 2:05 pm, I'll look at my phone again in 10 minutes and the text will say 'sent 2:15 pm'. This only happens after a certain amount of time has passed from a new flash, a day, a few days, even have gone a week or so before it starts happening. A data complete data/cache wipe will fix it temporarily, then I have to wipe and start over... Maybe I've been doing something wrong or have been flashing corrupted files?
I've never run into this, but since you say mms works I'd try an alternate mms.apk or try an alternate app such as handcent.
if you want to remain using a stock SMS app look at my previous posts for an alternate mms.apk and instructions on how to replace it over your existing mms.apk from your system/app directory.
if you decide to try handcent and it works whereas your stock SMS app fails, then signs point to the mms.apk.
I'll give it a try, although it seems no matter what sms app I use or no matter what rom I'm using the sms function breaks after a certain amount of time forcing me to do a complete wipe and reinstall/reflash.
so then you are saying you have tried other SMS apps like handcent?
Yes and always the sms breaks after some time :/ idk why but the only fix I have found is a clean wipe.
tapatalked from my KangBanged Fascinate
I want to revive this thread, because the EXACT same thing is happening to me!
Currently running EH03 radio, KGB_FA16 kernel, and Super Clean 3 Milestone 2 on my Fascinate.
The Problem seems to have started on March 28th, and at the time I was still running SC3 Milestone 1. It took me until yesterday to realize that none of my text messages were received by anyone I sent them to since March 28th. Same symptoms; messages appeared to have been sent, time stamp that changes, etc.
Last night I tried a few things to fix the issue:
- Disabled Voodoo and System Lagfixes via CWM
- Wiped Davlik Cache
- Flashed SuperClean 3 Milestone 2
- Updated roaming capability (*228, option 2)
- Just installed GoSMS
In GoSMS, all of the outgoing messages since March 28th have flashing green arrows next to them... What does that mean?
If someone could point me towards the android native mms.apk, I can try re-installing it.
I am running out of ideas... I am going to Odin the EC09 radio tonight and see if that fixes it. Otherwise, the only other option I can think of is to do a full wipe and start over from scratch...
Any thoughts??
Bump.... Thoughts anyone? Beuler?
Should I just bag my whole current config and just try a different ROM!?
Looking into CM7...

[Q] LG p920 Xball ICS, SMS Conversation mode

Hi there, long time lurker first time flasher (oo-er)
I put the ICS rom on my phone by xball and loved it (still to remove bloat etc and will probably wait untill both cameras are fixed before keeping it) however....
One thing that doesnt seem mentioned in the topic or anywhere else on google i can find is in ICS when using messaging i have an inbox, outbox and spam tab. There doesnt seem to be any way to switch it to conversation mode (that i can see) the same way it worked in GB. Have i missed something with this rom?
A second question, not as important but ill bolt it on. I backed up all my texts using SMS backup and restore, yet when i restore them in ics, they don't appear. some research suggests its to do with the way that ICS now handles a "database" of sms records is there any easy way of restoring them from the SMSBaR xml file?
Cheers
Mozzy.

[Q] Trouble with calling and texting

I don't know if these issues are related or not, but I'm having issues with making phone calls and reading texts. This has persisted for several months. I've updated the ROM (MeanROM) hoping it might fix it, but I don't know if it's related or not if others aren't experiencing the problem. I did a factory reset and it fixed the issues temporarily, but I'm not even sure if it worked for a day.
The text problem:
Texts come in and I usually get them right away. Meaning, my notification sound is made and a preview is displayed on my lock screen and in my notification bar. But when I try to open the full message, it takes several minutes to load. When I send messages, it seems to be fine. It's almost like it's loading all of my texts in the thread when I open it. I used to use Handcent, but have since switched to the stock messaging application. The problem exists with both.
The calling problem:
I seem to receive calls fine, but I can't always make calls. I can open up the calling app and most times it will show my recent calls, but I have to click "Call" (to call the last person) or click on one of the recent contacts to call and then wait a minute or two before the phone shows any response that it's calling. There are other issues involved like it not finding people or numbers that are in my address book when I try to search for them with the number pad.
I would appreciate ANY help that anyone can provide. Let me know if I can provide any other information.
Thanks!
Have you tried a new Jelly Bean based ROM? I had the contact lag issue, same as you, on ICS. Going to JB has seemed to fix it entirely for me.
Can you provide some add'l info...?
What Radio/firmware? S-on/off?
What version of MeanROM?
Did you do a clean install and if so, did you restore any apps/data from a nandroid or manually re-install everything?
All of my info is in my sig. But, any Jelly Bean based ROM should fix the issue. It was an issue with HTC, and they fixed it with the recent update. I have not tried MeanBean, but it may be what you are looking for.
Yes, I did a clean install of mine, and I used "Titanium Backup" to restore some of my Apps. As well as "SMS Backup and Restore" to backup all of my texts before the wipe. I didn't restore my texts though, just kept the backup.

I have not? What were your running previously? How long have you been running the new ROM? As I said, I did a factory reset and it seemed to fix things temporarily, but it's back again.

MeanROM ICS 6.5
Am I missing anything? If so, how do I find it?
I did a factory reset and then installed from the 6.5 ROM that I downloaded. I did restore apps from Titanium backup, but tried to avoid anything related to text or calling. I use SMS backup and I restored my most recent texts, but probably less than 10 per user from less than 10 users.
I had been following MeanROM ICS and didn't realize that the MeanBean ROM was out. I guess I'll try that next.
Thanks!
JB update
