Text messaging problem - Captivate General

I cant not receive texts but i can send them and I've tried everything i can think of taking the battery out resetting it and deleting the text messages? can someone help please

I had this problem before, which seemed to occur when I changed the firmware string in my system file to unlock the full android market.
I reverted back that change, and then restored from my most recent titaniumbackup to fix this issue.
I'm not 100% sure on what causes this, nor what exactly fixed it, but I did manage to fix it without a full reflash.

the thing is it was a full fresh phone and was in complete working order then it just stopped working there was not anything done to the phone

[Q] Re-Threading of SMS/text messages restored from backup

This has always been a problem for me whenever I update or change the rom on my phone, I just flashed the latest version of TAEL ROM to my Att Fuze, but this time I tried to research what I could possibly do to try to fix this annoying problem. I tried the guide posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420564
And it didn't work. By step 7 it looked like my phone was re-threading all of my text messages, took about 2-3 hours, but when I opened them up, it just had one side of the conversation yet again.
Is there anything I can do to re-thread my text messages AFTER restoring the backup?

Messages app bug

Hello,
I have a problem with my messages app, sometimes it completely crashes :
Here are the symptoms :
- I have the messages list, but when I want to open one, I have the "loading.." but nothing happen
- Sometimes when I want to send a message, it doesn't work. I push the send button, the sending windows appears something like 300ms but my message isn't sent
- And recently, when I configure to see only 1 line of preview, after a crash it set it back to 2.
Each time I have to turn my phone off and on again to make it work again
I have tried other apps like handcent and goSms, I tried a factory reset but the problem remain..
My phone is rooted and i have a custom rom (the probleme was here before i rooted it, I though a new rom might resolve it and after 3 nothing has changed)
I'm starting to think it's hardware.. in this case I'll try the warranty..
Thanks for your help
ps : English is not my mother tongue, sorry if there are mistakes
Have you tried changing to another radio image maybe it's caused be signaldrop or something like this?
Here you can get a another one.
Btw, which is your current?
Edit:
Btw, apps like gosms,.... can't solve your problem, they're set up on the build in SMS app and only provide a different user interface
Thanks, might be good idea
I have 20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M
At first I didn't upgrade it because it seems dangerous and, as some says it is rarely necessary. But in this case, I might consider it

can not send text message on captivate

i have newer version of captivate with gps fixed but few days ago it stopped sending text message although it can still receive text messages.
normally after sending message, it usually displays time stamp under the text but when it does not work it just displays "sending" as status indefinitely.
phone is rooted and has gingerbread i believe.
I also called customer center service and they did not see any issue from the point of service provider.
Anyone has experienced the issue? Thanks,
I'd have them check again to make sure that text is setup right on your account.
Beyond that what have you changed recently. Typically something like texting wont just stop working on the phone without something having been changed.
Is the ROM that's on there one you flashed? If so back it up, reflash to a clean state and see if text works. Then restore a bit at a time and see when it fails.

somebody also had this problem and he did a factory reset and he was able to send messages again but he is saying that he has lost his root although it's not possible
here is the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540652
DID factory reset and now can send message. but cant root it back. crappy phone. tried from both of my laptop and desktop machine using odin v1.81. problem never gets around captivate.
Do the heimdall flash of KK4 or Apex ROM. Same as stock, but with root and all the problems gone.

[Q] One contact's message thread won't open. Stock message app

Ever since the ICS upgrade, one contact's message thread refuses to open and is stuck on "O Loading" with that little circle revolving.
I downloaded go sms pro before and I was able to access his thread through that and the message count wasn't over the maximum limit per contact. I've since gone back to the stock app as he's out of the country and it's faster than go sms pro but he recently txted me and caused the problem to occur with other contacts (though a reset of the phone solves their issue)
Does anyone have a solution and failing that, advice? I should say right now that deleting his message thread is the last resort.

You could try to backup your messages (you can find some apps for that in the market), then delete all your contacts, and afterwards restore them again~
Though no idea if it will work :/

Aye I could try it with a contact whose messages I don't mind losing and seeing if that works, thanks for the tip!
You can also use Google Voice, and have it copy all the messages to your Gmail account.

So I started backing up and restoring and I was able to open all contacts' threads. The backup never fully restores all messages though and I have to keep hitting "restore" so that it'll restore them all up to the present day. Don't know why it's doing it this way.
Just now I've checked and that one contact won't open again. What I might do is try and restore all to the present, delete loads of messages I don't want, and backup this new message history.
I know this is most likely far too late but I was having the same problems and found this thread while trying to sort it and hope it will help anyone else in future who has the same problems. I tried backing up and restoring (Using both the default and sms back-up and restore) deleting the thread and restoring, eventually I solved it by installing handscent, deleting the messages sent/received back to when the problem started in that thread and a few before, then went in settings, apps, then all, messages cleared the cache, restarted and it is sorted!!

Yeah it never resolved itself but I love the customisation of go sms pro so much that I don't mind anymore. Pity go sms pro crashes every so often and I think it slows the phone down.
I was going to start a new thread but see that this is the same problem I have.
I have a mt4gs (Doubleshot) and the problem described in this thread has happened twice. Both times i was receiving a text message and did something else with the phone at the same moment, and it seems to have jammed up the receipt of that text. The first time, i sent a text to the person at the same moment i received one. The second time, i locked the screen at the moment one arrived. Now that thread never loads, and loading other threads or contacts takes much longer than it should. In fact, i don't think contacts would ever load if i were willing to wait forever.
The first time I backed up the texts, reset the device, and restored, and everything worked fine, but that's a really time-consuming process and it seems like a ridiculous workaround for some broken buffer or queue in Android messaging.
It seems that there must be a direct fix for this. If it's easy enough to break messaging that it has happened to me twice, it must be a fairly common problem. But a search has turned up nothing but people saying there are too many messages or to use an alternative app for messaging. That's (1) incorrect and (2) again an ugly workaround for a problem with core functionality.

Phone App not working - causing System to crash

Anyone else ever experience this? I thought it could be bad database info, actually wrote HTC. Factory reset, cache partition wipe and even RUU did not fix the issue. Anyone have ideas? Will post back if I find a fix.
To produce - Dial any number even voicemail it gets stuck at "Dialing" ending the call, or letting it sit for too long will cause System to crash after the phone hangs.
This also occurs when receiving a call (not fun.)
I have found that it is in fact not anything to do with cell but a complete shutdown of the sound subsystem even after multiple factory resets and a RUU (going to try this again.) Another user with an 11 life seems to have had this same issue with no replies. https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11-life/help/audio-able-to-make-calls-t3898060
