I have the VS985 unlocked, and working on T-Mobile. On stock based Roms I can do calls, texts, data, everything. But on AOSP based Roms, I can't get a text out to save my life.
I've done some reading where people are saying that since Verizon uses CDMA, I won't be able to text with T-Mobile. BUT if that's true, then why does it work on the stock based Roms?
I have done a completely clean install of CM12, didn't restore anything, didn't even install Gapps. CM12 doesn't recognize the sim card, but I can still call and get data. I can even receive texts but it won't let me push the send button in the stock messaging app. When I try to use Hangouts for SMS, it lets me push the send button, but then it says it failed.
In the stock based Roms I can set my network type to LTE/GSM/UMTS, but in CM12 I can't find that option anywhere. Can someone help me?
Having same issue with stock all the sudden. What APN are you using? Also I found calling allows me to send a single message.

My APN is the fast.tmobile.com one. That's interesting about the phone calls sending texts... For now I'm on Jasmine LP, so I'm not going to worry about it for a while.
Any help with this?

In all of my old non-Android phones whenever i was sending or recieving an MMS, the phone would automattically turn on data then download/upload the messege and turn off data. I don't seem to be able to that with my SGS2.
I can send MMS only when data is on and it won't turn on automattically and when i recieve an mms i have a download button on the messege so when i turn on data, I can download the messege.
I've tried installing external apps from Google Play like go SMS and several others to no avail. tried searching for a solution with my carrier, and in this forum...perhaps I missed something, tried setting up a seperate APN for MMS.
Can someone help me?

Hi mate,
I don't think there is a way to do this on the S2. It's frustrating isn't it!!
The only way I can think to do it is download an app called Tasker and set it up that way. Tasker can do everything
Good luck!
There is a way.
You have to separate your APN into two APNs. One for internet, and one for MMS. Then have the internet one be the default. The MMS APN will then only activate when you send or receive MMS.
I have mine set up like this.

I have two APNs. one for the 3g data and the other one is wap data(for all the carrier's stuff) and mms.
3g is set up as default but i kind of have trouble seperating wap and mms as i don't know which deffinitions belong in which APN.
I'll contact the tech support again and ask them how to define this stuff properly or just ask them to send me the apn config.
if that doesn't work i'll try tasker like Obagleyfreer suggested.
thank you both for the help
The problem mainly happened on aosp roms and always has for me at least. People tell me they tried to call me and/or text me and couldn't get through but others can. So I tried virus's new sense rom to see if that would help and she couldn't get through to me either plus I never got her texts. Also, I often get busy signals and call cannot be completed messages when trying to call out.
When on aosp I ru, the enghboot and sense its 1.58. Any ideas?

Flash a stock rom, and call your carrier. They can refresh your device, or re-activate it to fix this problem.
I have searched around but none of the answers I have found worked...
I am running a Verizon GS3 on StraightTalk and just did a clean install of CM from stock rom. I had everything working on the stock rom-- calls, data, sms, and mms... but switching to CM I am no longer able to send/receive SMS. I have gone to phone info and updated my SMSC but it didn't fix the problem.
Additionally, CM is prompting the Verizon activation call occasionally... could this be causing the problem??
Thanks

I just got this phone about a month ago and I am not able to send any text messages but yet, I can receive them. MMS, data, and calling works pretty good too. MMS didn't work at first until I had to change my APN settings. Is there a way to fix this?
Does this problem have something to do with the software version? It's 5.0.1 (lollipop)
I'm having the same problem with my phone also!
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon)
Im also having the same issue. Sold phone and bought lg g3. Ive tried changing to LTE / UTMS / GSM from global. But nothing. I turn off wifi and on data, sometimes texts go thru. But not 100%.. Another thing you can do temporarily is get a google voice number. All calls will be forwarded to your number and texts will show up in email and hangouts. Good luck

same problem here. It seems we need to either disable lte or find a way to choose lte/gsm mode to get the texting work. I did not find a way to do this in lollipop. Please help.
I need a fix also
No texting on Verizon s4 i545 on 5.0.1 with root
None of the radio switches are working
Need a proper solution ,
partial soln
I have the same problem going to cricket. Here is the solution I am using until a better one is found.
EDIT: (My SCH-I545 is rooted and running Stang5Litres rom, OF1)
[App] Advanced Signal Status
[Select] Additional Info at bottom of page
[Select] Phone Info
[Setting] GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
This soln turns of LTE, but still allows me to use EVDO and HSPA, and texts send and recieve fine. Still trying to find a LTE soln.
Hey guys,
I've had this phone for a while but i have been dealing with this increasingly annoying issue. I can't send or receive MMS messages for some reason. If i try to attach a picture, it does not send and when attempting to download a sent message, it fails and attempting to retry does not seem to even initiate another attempt.
Has anyone else faced this issue?
Super late to this thread but I am currently having the same issue, did you ever find a solution?
I think there is a problem with custom roms on using MMS /data. I use Straight Talk on At&T network and with right APN settings, I only get mms and no data for gapps like play store and maps. So if you want to keep using custom ROM switch to using 3G mode (it works for me, i get data +mms, everything works great except slower internet speeds). Or return to Stock ROM. I am using Stock ROM since last week (B331) and I am getting data+mms on 4G with the same straight talk apn settings.
IF not using custom ROM - then check your APN settings from network provider

I just made a post about how i fixed mine on the AT&T GoPhone plan.
Not sure what plan you are using but maybe this will help.
