Hey everyone,
I currently have an AT&T Captivate on the Telus network. I had to manually put in the APN setting and stuff. I have a problem with the SMS portion of the phone. If I send an SMS using the messaging app or handscent sms it shows the sms as sending even though it has been sent. And when I restart the phone it sends all of the text messages again. It is very annoying as sometimes it will resend about 30 texts to the same person. What is wrong with the phone?
I have the same problem sometimes with handscent. Usually it's only 1 or 2 tho

Go under 'Settings', 'Send Message Settings', and check the box for 'Prevent Resend'. This stops that problem with Handcent SMS.

just tried, it would still send the message again after i restart the phone. any other ideas?
i have to delete the whole sms thread to make this not happen. Which is kind of annoying. So I am hoping someone has the same issue as me and has fixed it lol

for some reason my phone wont send long txt messages but will send short ones..i have a signal. im using handcent sms on the htc evo. whenever i try to send a long txt message my phone just sits there and then says message not sent. it just fails to send all long messages. what can i do about this? is this common?
It's happening because you are on a CDMA network (sprint) which limit your sms messages to 160 characters. Handcent is not initially set up to split any message over 160... You have to go into the settings and select that option.

Everyone once in a while, I'll be unable to send messages out and I'll notice that I'm not receiving any. Is this related to the issue where people are not receiving phone calls on the Mes I've heard about? Once I reboot, it seems to work again but then the cycle repeats.
I'm on the Heinz's latest build
Did you check your contacts numbers? If there is a + sign in front, it can cause issues

Also do you have MMS? If you're SMS app is set to convert long SMS to MMS and you don't have MMS, you'll run into problems.
nope. no + in my phone numbers and no, the messages arent long. I do have unlimited MMS to so it shouldnt matter anyways.
Have you tried a different SMS app such as GO SMS or Handcent?
Hey guys,
I'm wondering if it's possible to send multiple texts/group texts on 7.5 MANGO.
It's for the Samsung Focus.
I did some thread searching and they were all old (WP7). Every time I try the group text/multiple text, it responds with "Can't send"
I was just wondering if anyone has found a fix for this, aside from using the Bulk SMS app.
Thanks!
The count is limited to 10. How many did you add ?
the same, i can not send sms to 2 people on hd 7
In the Messaging settings, turn off 'Group text' and then try.
It worked for me.
With Group text ON, it considers the text messages as MMS, and fails to send.
Here is a silly question but if you send 10 SMS or MMS messages, do you get charged for 10 by your provider of do they all count as one?
Each msg is sent seperately so charges are for each sms

My phone stopped sending texts. I installed Google voice and uninstalled it. I'm not sure if that's related to it. I can still get SMS and MMS tho.

I just got my replacement phone today and have been setting it up. Just noticed my SMS messages arent sending but I can receive messages and have LTE data. Cant seem to fix. Any ideas?
Iliketoys I'd check your APN settings
Does anyone know how to remove the call back number on every single sms message I receive? Even if the person has it turned off on their phone it still shows up on mine when they send me a message. I would just use another messaging app because that fixes the problem but then I can send mms messages. I'm on a local carrier and can't find the settings to put in to fix this either. Any help is appreciated thanks.
*can't send mms I meant to say.
