Hey all,
Just wondering whether its me or not, but ever since the update if I type a text longer than '1 message(+9) '(weird but cool feature if I must say) my phone will Not send the message no matter what..and as long as I have it under that character limit it works fine...
I'm in australia and with Optus, and I work for them as well so I know it isn't my sim or my account :/
Anybody else had this issue? Because I know currently the samsung galaxy S(2.1) is having compatability issues with texting, but I wouldn't imagine it'd be the same cause...

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I just did a test text and it worked fine.. 2 messages sent no problems.. (UK Vodafone).. World Generic 2.1 firmware.
just wondering did you update to the optus 2.1 or the generic?
I have a feeling i must be on the generic firmware because i did have 1.6 Rooted prev. to the update
I asked the guys at work about the update today and none of them so far have been able to update...even though i downloaded the Australasian PC Companion.
but even picture messages and everything else works perfectly fine...its just that one thing =/
I have the exact same issue, it happened to me also on 1.6 bu that was more generous and gave me 2 message lengths before it would fail to send. its strange as the first couple of messages i sent on the nordic 2.1 update where fine and they were well over 2 message lengths and then suddenly if i try to send one over 1 message length it fails!!! weird
would love to find the reason to this
Someone found any solution FOR THIS??? Help
It's saying "Could not send" for me, but is actually sending the first 160 characters of the message
Edited to add: I'm on UK Vodafone with the Global Generic 2.1 firmware.
Further edit: I'm able to send long sms to myself, just not my intended recipient...? She's on O2, could this be why?
Even more edit: Just tried sending to someone else and they didn't receive anything?! Very inconsistent!
sms Issue
Hi,
I have the same issue with my sms, it will not send more than 1 message otherwise the text bounce back saying message not sent, I just upgraded to 2.1 Nordic. The problem did exist when i was on the 1.6 but then the message will not send only if it was more than 2 messages, I am on vodafone uk, my phone was not debranded whilst running 1.6.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I still haven't found a solution to this, interesting that you're also on UK Vodafone though, maybe it's something to do with them rather than the firmware?
has anyone found solution to this I have Rogers X10a and Telus sim card in it. Can't send sms if its longer than 160 charecters . Please help
I'm having the same problem as well. Any message over 160 characters and it won't send. This has actually resulted in my not being able to send shorter messages after trying to send a message that is over 160 characters. Not sure what is going on here or if there is a setting that can be changed for this.
I'm in the U.S. on AT&T. Used the xda flash to global and rogers and neither would send an sms message over 160 I guess? (it's 2 sms) Did a global firmware to 1.6 and then updated to x10a 2.1 via sony and then tried and it still would not send. It will send through GSM however using the edge network. It must have something to do with the h network then and no I don't get 3g to pop up at the top of the screen ever..
I'm not too sure what the problem is here but it is the only one I am having on my phone, everything else is working great!...
If anyone can help us all out with any ideas or suggestions it would be great but as of now it sounds like it's a problem with the new software from sony. Gonna try messing with the sms apn a bit and see if I come up with anything but as of now 2.1 sms is considered broken in my opinion.:/
im having the same problem. im using chompsms and at the botton, instead of saying 160 char it says 70 and wont send more than two texts long. If the network is changed to GSM only, any size text will send but then internet is slow unless its changed back. AT&T settings were found automatically but they are all correct.
my SE Xperia X10 on 2.1 wont send messages at all. no matter the size. ive tried to send messages like "Hey" or "No" and they dont send. Im with in Canada, with Rogers. And its not my signal because i have 4 bars...

Thanks Jeff! As I am having this issue too, awaiting for any news about it...
Hi Everyone,
I've heard back from our team today. This is not a generic problem. I will need information from your phones to pass on so I can duplicate the problem. Please PM me the following details:
Country:
Service Provider/Operator:
IMEI:
SI#: (SI is the ####-####.# on the back of the phone)
Did this happen in 1.6?:
Did it ever work on 2.1?:
I need at least 5 examples to pass to the team to move this forward. I will update you when I've collected these.
Hi all,
Ok, found a solution - try this and let us know how it goes, its worked for me!
1. Open dialer and dial: *#*#4636#*#*
2. Select Phone Information from menu
3. Scroll down to SMSC
4. Enter SMS centre number given by your service provider in this box
5. Select Update
I got a "update error" message but it still seemed to save the number, but with " and a 3 digit code after it.
If the above doesn't work, as a short term solution you caould switch to just "GSM" in your network settings and this also works - not ideal, but it's a workaround!

Didn't work for me, UK Vodafone.
doesn't work for Telus Canada
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i am having a really irritating SMs problem with.
My dad lives in Cyprus, when he sends me an SMS i can not reply, when i try it just says 'sending' then 'failed' . In order to get the text SMS to send to him i have to delete the message thread, then start a new message and it will send. Now if he then replies, i will need to delete the message thread again in order to be able to send him a new message.
I do not have this issue with any other contacts that i am aware. The only difference with my dad is that he lives abroad in Cyprus, and all my other contacts are here in the UK. Has anyone else had this issue? Know what causes it? I have deleted and recreated the contact but still the same.
Many thanks.
Do you have your dad's number stored in contacts with country code or not ? I was on the verge of smashing my phone when i was abroad, trying to call persons in my native country and i couldn't because i didn't have numbers stored with country code. Maybe that's your issue too
I think the problem is related to what SMS server your dad is using, I had same issue with my X-girls phone, no one could direct reply to SMS...
Hi, thanks for the replies.
Sp1tfire, i have changed the number configuration around several times, all with no success.
Fritz, this sounds plausible, however this would surely affect other phones replying? I don't have this issue when using my iphone 4 so it only happens from the Galaxy2 at the minute. I will try and use a colleagues Android phone to text him and test it.
Somehow you, or TSP (Telephone Service provider), have inserted a sms mail server address that is not valid.
here in my country, there has been scams, "cheaper SMS, enter this server setting" and stuff like that, so there is a setting on you phone that is wrong.

Can't be cause of settings, if he can actually send new sms to that number, but he can't reply from the received sms. His settings are correct as long as he can send sms. Must be something else. Are you using default sms app or a third party software ?

I am using the stock SMS app. I have just wiped the phone and installed the KF2 firmware. Going to see if that helps.
Sp1tfire, thats right, i can only reply to him when i delete the existing thread. I can however send new SMS to him no problem, so long as the thread is deleted before hand. Very frustrating as i lose the history every time.
Update, exactly the same on KF2 Firmware.
Ok, so i tried with a friends HTC desire and he has the same issue. also found my brother who has an iphone 3gs is unable to reply to my Dads number. So at least know its no longer just my phone and that it must be something the other end. Many thanks for the help.
Same problem here
When I reply to my girl it says: failed, when i delete the whole thread it goes.
It's only when I text her, all the other contact go fine
On my old sgs I had it to, but only on stock, when I was on CM7 it was OK.
Cant imagine that its something with the other phone i'm sending it to though

I remember in all the previous phones I've had, there's been a setting in the SMSC Settings allowing the user to specify whether or not to "Reply using the same SMSC" (or something along those lines).
If the option is ticked, the phone attempts to reply to the message through the SMSC that the text originally came from (rather than the one set in your handset).
The cause of the error may be because the SMSC overseas does not recognise your phone/SIM and therefore won't allow the replying message to go through.
And perhaps this may explain why deleting the whole thread and restarting a brand new message works - that is, the new message will go through the SMSC that is set in your phone for your own network.
Although, I've had a look through the settings in my SGS2 and can't seem to find that setting anywhere... (doesnt mean it's not there - it could just be that I don't know my phone well enough because I've only had it for a few days ).
I think your dad's SMS configuration settings is forcing you (or any other person he is sending an SMS to) to reply through his operators message centre
Ask him to check his sms settings and disable any such message centre settings from his side. This should solve the problem.

Hi all , is it possible to replace the sms.apk with those from custom roms ? actually im using a korean galaxy hd lte and i kept on getting invalid sender error when i tried to send sms. in the msg setting , there is sms centre or mms server setting... i tried 3rd party sms app such like Go sms pro but it didnt work too..so i was trying to replace a galaxy note sms app into my device and b4 i do that , i just wanna confirm with the gurus here if this is possible.. pls advise , thx
Same here. The essential SMS app is the only thing that's not working in SGS 2.
Really a big disappointment.
Its usually a user error .
Check correct settings in message centre .
jje
Same phone, same problem, same solution I can imagine, same urgency to solve the problem. Who can help?
This phone is nothing like the i9100 aka the SGS2, its more like the T-Mobile USA SGS2, but with a different radio.
Anyway.
Go to your carriers website, find the option to be sent the correct settings, or google "<your carrier name> message centre number", hit the menu key in the sms app, go to settings, and make sure that the correct Message centre number is there.
Hi,
I recently helped a colleague purchase a Galaxy SIII phone here in China, Guangzhou and made sure I checked the phone over completely before I purchased it.
I've done a search on the forums and check out anything that may be similar, but to no avail.
The problem is:
The phone will not receive any text messages, or at least they don't go through to the messaging app.
Text messages were being received normally for around a week
I disabled a bunch of pre-installed Chinese crap that is unfortunately not un-installable as it's baked into the ROM
It happened once, so I factory reset it, and then tested it. The text messages worked fine
I then disabled the Chinese stuff once again and installed Skype. Just to be sure, I sent more test text messages, and they were all received fine.
Around one week later, here we are, she says that text messages are not being received again.
All other functions of the phone are working. Internet / Edge network, sending texts, Play store, everything. Just not the receiving of texts!
I'm fairly confused as to this behaviour, particularly as it seems the text messages are working for a time limited period.
I had some inklings of what it could be:
- The SIII takes a micro-sim, the shop "manually" chopped the SIM using a cutter. Could this have damaged the SIM and caused this behaviour?
- The phone itself is faulty
- Something is up with the China Mobile settings / network and she needs to call them.
What would be your diagnosis, ideas, solutions XDA'ers?
Further information of any kind is, of course, available on request.
**** My ideas for a fix ****
Root the bastard and get a standard UK ROM on the phone to see if it works. However, I have some concerns. Years ago, when I bought my first HTC desire, when I rooted and put a UK ROM on it, I discovered that my phone was an imported Thai version of the phone and almost bricked it into a reboot loop as the phone didn't like a different regions ROM being loaded on.
I had to go through a convoluted process of making a specially edited SD-card to fool the phone into accepting different ROMS. Is this the case with the Galaxy SIII or have times moved on to more sophisticated means?
Thanks.

Have you try other messaging apps like Hancent SMS or Go SMS to confirm that msg service is not working?
Or maybe the CSC is causing the problem?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Open the stock messaging app. In its menu go to settings. Check that there is a number recorded under message centre. If not use Google to find the number for the carrier you are with and enter it.
I'm on an unrooted phone with a stock Rom and twice messaging has stopped working. The cause was that this number had spontaneously disappeared.

Ok, I've tried:
- alternative messaging apps, and they're not picking it up either.
- the message centre number.
When you say CSC? You mean the carrier code? It was bought in China and fitted with a Chinese ROM, but I'll look at the ROM settings and see what it is.
Thanks.
U dial *#1234# then you can see your csc
CSC – (Consumer Software Customization) Refers to the specific country or carriers for that said firmware is being build.
This where it contains the default settings of each specific geographical region, carrier network providers and network data connections.

I am having this problem. It was all working fine then suddenly it stopped. I don't know what could be the cause but I fooled around with the settings, deleted old text messages and then suddenly I received dozens of text messages.
It's like my phone isn't trying to receive any text messages. It can send text messages out but it won't receive any.
I am using Omega 31.1.
Can someone help me out please?

I had the same issue,
I changed the Network options from gsm only to "Auto" mode, and apparently it worked for me.
Hello to all, :fingers-crossed:
Sorry for my English.
First of all I would like to thank the developers for their hard work.
I have only one problem.
I have a GSM EVO 3D S-Off HBOOT 1.49.007, Root and the new [ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 - 4.2.2 - 22-March-2013.
Everything works fine, also the videocamera (disabling HW Overlay) without 3D.
But I have a problem with sending SMS.
Text messages are not sent ever.
I think I understand the problem, but i ask for help even if it was addressed.
I have an Italian SIM, mobile operator "POSTEMOBILE."
"POSTEMOBILE" uses the Vodafone mobile network to serve its customers.
When the ROM CyanogenMod 10.1 - 4.2.2 locks the mobile operator does not locks Postemobile but Vodafone.
In this way, when I try to send a text message, the phone number of the SMS center is not recognized by Vodafone and returns an error message to be sent.
It 'possible that the problem is this?
And 'possible to fix it?
Grazie a tutti.

SOLVED....
I found the solution by searching the various sites.
In particular, I had help from the site Androidiani.it.
The solution is simple.
When you install a ROM ICS or JB the SMS center number is lost.
In order to reset the number you must type a code on the keypad of the phone.
A hidden menu appears.
The code is *#*#4636#*#* (i think that works for all of android)
Now look for the string SMSC and enter the number of the SMS center of your mobile operator.
Apply this setting with the second button... and well done....
Now you can send SMS with ICS or JB...
Thanks to all...:fingers-crossed:

Try to do a reboot without SIM and again with the SIM.
Then redo the procedure with the code.
Worked for me the first time.
With Sprint I do not know if it works, try looking CDMA forum.

I explained them I can send SMS, but I can't receive them. Btw, I integrated my Sprint # with Google Voice. Now I keep all my sms and voicemail in my google account. I even turned option to send me an email when sms arrives - you can do it with Google voice.
So, first step the Sprint customer service recommended was to clear all cache and data from all my applications which I use or ever used for sms/texting. I did it before though, and I told them it didn't help. Then, they recommended to delete all message treads, basically all your sms. I did. I didn't worry much about loosing them, because I backed up in "SMS Backup & Restore" app already. Then they asked me to take battery out, and while it was out, they reset (or sent) something on their side for my phone. When procedure was done on their server, they asked me to start my phone again. I did. They sent me test sms, and it worked!!! Now sms work well, and I even receive gmails upon their arrivals.
Not everything is so shiny though, I have a different problem: data drop, but this is a different story, and not resolved for me yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221579.
