Cannot access any of my sms messages, phone is vibrating on receipt of a message. However no notification, or message is displayed on any software.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking about just going back to Windows Mobile after all this hassle! lol.
Also, if i send a message...it seems to lock up even though they send... If I go into messages again afterwards it appears in the list... however if I try and open the message I have sent this also just freezes.
Any ideas?
Can you give us any more information?
Has the phone always done this or just started recently?
What firmware is the phone running?
Have you installed any other SMS applications?
hello everybody i need some help with two issues that have tested my patience and now im at breaking point.
1) everytime my text message is too long it becomes a MMS i have data runnning and everything but the MMS or text it wont go through neither does picture messaging or any other time of MMS it just says downloading but it doesnt go beyond that.
2) my school has poor service. now if i send a text message the vibrant tells me message has failed. which is fine. but is there a way where the message keeps on trying to send till it catches a signal by itself instead of me goign back and forth trying to find a signal and resending the text again and again and again and again. similar to like BB and nokia. where they phone keeps trying to send.
im really frustrated with these things if i could get any help i would be really greatful
im running Trigger 2.9.2
great appreciate any help or information regarding this.
You should download the AOSP MMS.apk and flash it through CWM to replace the MMS.apk that comes with Trigger. That should fix the mms not sending issue. If that doesn't help, download GO! SMS from the market and send the MMS through that app and that should clear up network errors and your mms should go through.

for your first issue it is a phone number format issue. remove the +1 and - from all your numbers. There is an app in the market that will do this, but I have forgotten the name.
for you second issue there is no auto retry on android. This is something your just going to have to deal with. If I were you I would not load any other SMS apps as I have seen some issues with my messages going to wrong people after swapping out one MMS.APK for another. just retry your message manually and hopefully google will add auto resend one day.
I have noticed this issue when receiving text message from a certain contact (he has a iPhone 4s, if that makes a difference). The text message comes in as a 1kb file and my atrix shows a download button within the message. I go to click download and a message pops up saying unable to download. This seems to come in with every text message that he sends me.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a probably with iPhone4s texts?
Thanks ahead of time
I'm having trouble with my phone's messaging. I can send texts fine, but I can't send any group messages or MMS messages. I've tried unrooting, updating to the newest OTA update, using a third party texting app, and replacing the SIM card. Nothing works. I can't send or receive group messages or attachments. I tried Go SMS Pro, and when I tried to send group messages, it failed, then sent the message individually to each person. When I tried sending a picture, it said the service was not activated on the network.
This got me thinking it might be something with our texting plan, but everyone else in my family can send and receive group messages and attachments without problems. So it's a problem with my phone only. Does anyone have suggestions?

might try going into your setting and unchecking fastboot .. read somewhere that worked for others ... good luck
Nope, that didn't work, either before or after a reboot. Any other suggestions?
Had a similar issue. I don't know if its because I'm still locked and unrooted but I recieved an error code when I would try to send messages. I actually had to get o the phone with Big Red and they had reconnect me to another network connection of some sorts. Weird.

Sorry, what do you mean you had to "get o the phone with Big Red"? You had to carry it back to Verizon?

He missed a 'n', he got on the phone with big red. Aka he called Verizon.

This has been solved. I switched my number in January, and the service had been disabled then. I was able to get into a live chat with a vzw customer support guy, and he was helpful enough not only to fix MMS, but also group messaging on my phone. It took a couple of hours after trying in vain to put a password in over the phone, but contacting Verizon is the only way to fix this. If you have rooted your phone (as I had previously), and you still have that ugly "tampered" or "relocked" message at the top of the bootloader, Verizon's live chat system is probably your best bet. Even if you haven't rooted your phone, live chat may be faster. You can skip the "reboot, reset, ask other employees for help" routine you'll probably go through if you go to a physical location.
I think I have the same problem too..
When I'm sending a group message .. one of or two of the messages wont send
So, I have Cyanogenmod installed, and for some reason now I'm having trouble sending text messages. It's like I can send one, then none after that and sometimes if i reboot the phone it'll send another then no more. Is anybody able to tell me if this is something to do with the software on my phone or something on Verizon's side?

Did you check the APN settings for your text messaging app?
I had this issue once but a battery pull seemed to fix it.
Try this and see if it works.
