Two days ago I stopped receiving text messages. I found that I can send them out and they'll arrive on friends' phones, but I simply can't receive them. I can however receive MMS and phone calls. I had this problem once in the past while on the same rom I'm using now, and a simple restart fixed it. Not the case now Does anyone know a fix for this besides wiping data?? I already tried booting up my sim on a different phone but I got nothing.
I'm using Carbon Rom with android v4.2.2

I usually find solutions to my own problems while lurking, but this one is stumping me.
Starting last night at some point I stopped being able to receive both calls and texts. I was quite confused because I was in the middle of a text conversation with someone and they just stopped responding.
Data still works and I can make calls and send texts, but when I send myself a text from another phone nothing happens and calls just go to voicemail.
The phone was on the Eugene 2E JK2 Froyo ROM. I re-flashed it, then flashed it back to stock and nothing helps. When data is off it still doesn't work.
Any ideas? I tried searching but couldn't find anything. My GoogleFu may be lacking
Weird, have you contacted t-mobile support? Many years ago on ATT, with an old school flip phone, I had a similar problem. One night, my phone just suddenly stopped being able to receive or make calls. It could only text. The only solution was to get a replacement--it was not software related.
I've got a new phone on the way because I've been experiencing a similar thing, off and on for the last few days. I called T-mo and went through all the troubleshooting but they can't find any reason for the phone to be behaving this way...gonna send me a new one as warranty replacement.
Ok, I've been searching the forums for a few days looking for an answer to this but have been unable to find one. I'm running a rooted X2 with the V6 script and for the past week or so my phone has been weird. I'll get MMS messages one day from one sender and they'll try the next day and it'll never go through, I'm getting this problem from all carriers. I use Handcent but for a few days I uninstalled it and used only the stock text messaging app and still had the same problems. I also, at times will not receive any notification at all that I have an SMS and then when I check my phone I'll have duplicate messages from numerous all come in at once when they've only sent the message one time. So far, the things I've tried are battery pulls, updating roaming capabilities, turning the V6 script off, and using different messaging apps and have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
There is an ongoing issue with SMS/Kmart messages in another thread. Probably a good idea to merge them. You've tried all the suggestions I would give.
Hi, I'm having a strange problem here. The phone does not receive any text messages. It can still send them and still receives mms though. This is actually the second time it's happened and none of the solutions I've found so far have worked.
What I ended up doing the first time it happened was I took out the sim and put it into my old phone (an AT&T One X) and that would receive all those texts I wasn't getting before. Then I factory reset the S3 and put the sim back into it. Doing that solved the issue for a little while, but now it's happening again.
Anybody know what's happening here or what I'm doing wrong? I'm on AT&T and currently running Android Revolution HD 22.4 using the latest official Samsung rom. The phone is a European version that I bought from Newegg unlocked.
Thanks!

My wife's having the same problem with her international GS3 on AT&T - just stopped receiving text messages a couple of days ago, but she can still send them and she can receive MMS. She swapped sim cards and nothing changed, and a factory reset didn't fix the problem. Call center number is correctly indicated in the messaging app. I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T and they were unable to help (and unwilling to help after I said the word "unlocked"). However, I put the sim in an old phone and she immediately received the missing text messages.
Running stock EMB5, not rooted.
I think it's some configuration problem.
Like number of SMS center or such, ask your operator to get exact configuration.
I have been experienced similar problem, not unable to receive but unable to sent correctly, my text was incorrectly encoded.
just check out the setting.

Well as I said, the call center number was correct.
In any case, I seem to have fixed the issue (for the moment, at least) by using the kies "firmware upgrade and initialization" procedure to wipe and reset the phone.
I have this problem with my Samsung S3 i9300, running on it's stock ROM, the phone functionality is fine. (not using on data network or wifi)
Means phone calls are able to be made and received without any problems.
SMS can be sent and received as well, but sometimes, messages are not received!
I've switched the SIM to another phone, and then all the messages are coming in...
I've changed the SIM to a new one but still the problem remains.
Later on, I've flashed the phone to another ROM (S4 Revolution). It was working for awhile then it's happening again.
Now, running on CyanogenMod 10.1.3, it's been fine for awhile until yesterday, with over 5.3k of SMS, certain messages aren't coming in again.
Have any one of you had this issue before? I mean SMS is like the most basic function in a phone and it's not perfect on my S3!
For the record, the application there aren't any application installed prior to that problem, and there are more than 1gb of memory available.
I guess formatting the phone or resetting it would help, or clearing all of the SMS, but would I need to do it everytime? hmmm...

Hello folks.
I'm having an issue with my phone, S21 Unlocked SM-G991U1 (purchased directly from Samsung). This post might be long because I want to include all info to help answer questions that I might already have eliminated possible issues on.
I bought the phone March 18th and it's been working perfect up until exactly 4 days ago. What's been happening is that it will fail to send sms/texts randomly throughout the day. I can be having a conversation with someone then suddenly the texts I'm sending will begin to fail and they will get the ! or endless spinning circle depending which messaging app I'm using. I tried several apps (stock messaging, Google messages, textra) to eliminate the possibility of it being a specific one, it happens with all of them.
I then switched my sim card to another phone for several hours (S8) to see if it was a network issue... The S8 works perfect, no failed texts. As soon as I switch the sim back to the s21 the messages will fail again.
This happens at any given time, it will go from working fine for about 5 messages in a row then fail on every next message for about 10-15 mins then start working again.
This does not affect MMS or phone calls. Only SMS.
I'll also be able to receive any sms messages sent to me without issues at any time, even when outgoing ones fail.
I've tried resetting Network Settings to no avail.
I just did a complete factory reset, also no to avail. I'm lost here.
The phone has the latest update and had been working perfect up until 4 days ago. I can also say that I don't think the latest update was the cause because it started the day before I received the push notification for the update.
I'm on AT&T prepaid.
Please let me know if you have any questions I might not have covered or if you've encountered this issue before or what might be the fix. Thanks in advance!
