im having issues when sending text messages
-Whenever i try and send a text then lock my screen the text wont go out the first time, but i i hit resend it works
-or there could be something wrong with the ROM and some times texts just fail, therefore i have to resend it
but main point is whenever i try to send a text the first time 1/2 it fails to actually send and i have to resend to get it to go out
** i am using an AT&T Micro Cell that could also be an issue, i have full bars in my house with H+
any help or comments would be appreciated
It's the Microcell, this is the problem. There are posts in this forum to fix that. Since returning my micro cell I have not had one failed text. It is a known issue, but I have had many problems with it messing with my router and signal; as well as my wife's iPhone doesn't work well with it. There is a reason they are just giving these things away...
Same here

I'm having the same problem at my home. I was wondering what the deal was, but I also have a microcell and now it makes sense. I only have the sms/text problems at home.

Does anyone have an issue with text messages not being sent? Oftentimes I will send a message and then immediately get a message that it was not sent. It will try 3-4 more times. I can "solve" this by opening up the browser which activates the data connection, and then the message is sent no problem.
It's been a bit annoying so just wondering if anyone else has seen this. I actually had this issue with my G2 as well so maybe I need a new SIM?
I also have this issue, though sometimes it seems related to a particular text, because if I send another one, with different writing, it will frequently send and then allow the other to send as well.

Hi,
How many bars are you showing?
The only time mine did not send was when there was no signal(duh?)
The rest of the time it's fine and quick.
Maybe it's time for a new sim.
How old is yours?
I faced that
recently found the problem !
I didn't pay the bill
Have any of you heard of this?
Yesterday my phone decides it's NOT going to send SMS through the stock messaging app. I don't get an error, it appears as though it sends, but my recipient never receives it.....most of the time. Sometimes they go thru, sometimes they don't. It seems to mostly NOT go thru.
If the SMS does NOT go through, I can never see it in Google Voice.
If I use the Google Voice SMS app on my phone, recipient receives 100% of their SMS, same with Web interface.
If I disable my Google Voice account via the web and sign out via my phone, my recipient receives 100% of their SMS using the stock app.
I have all the settings nailed. Google Voice is set to sync, background data enabled, etc.... It was, has been working flawlessly up until yesterday with nothing on the phone changing.
I have wiped, reflashed, tried different ROMs, etc....
Today I called Sprint, they re-provisioned things, then basically said since it's a third party app they can't help. I want to beat my head against a wall here.
Anyone have any idea of what the problem could be?
I can't offer any help but I can tell you I saw the exact same problem all day on the 16th and 17th. I've since switched the Google Voice app to use it's own notifications and turned off the text notifications. For the time being, I'm not even using the stock messaging app.
I remember Sprint having an SMS problem a few months ago one afternoon, but it wasn't specific to GV. Maybe something in their GV integration system is a little wacky right now. People said they got about half of the messages I was sending before I switched to the GV app full time.
Good to know I'm not the only one. Looks like a couple of other people have the same problem over in the Google help forums. I de-integrated my account for almost two days, I'm getting ready to re-integrate it now, we shall see what happens. The support for these phones is god awful. If this doesn't resolve it I'm driving to the nearest corporate store and returning it through their window.
LOL! I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but if you do decide to "return" it, you may want to attach a brick or something. This phone feels way to light to do any damage without a little extra help.

Here's a little update. Not really a good one, but whatever...
All of the text messages I had tried to send though the stock messaging app must have made it to Sprint at least because they all just dumped en mass upon their intended recipients. I got a pile of very confused responses.
Maybe the issue has been resolved. I'll switch my settings back and experiment a little.

That didn't happen to me, but it does appear that my texts are going through. There's one person who says she never gets some, but I can see they're sycning to GV now, where they weren't before. Everyone else is getting my texts too. I have no idea what happened but I'm a little at ease knowing someone else had the problem. I hope it never happens again, I rely on SMS for my business.
OK when i am at home the signal strength is dropping out , which makes calls etc tricky at times.
When i send a text with no signal it sits there with a timer and in most cases gets sent as soon as the signal comes back, But there are times when the message will just sit there even though there is a signal, with no resend option i have to restart the phone and then it gets sent straight away.
This problem is happening both before and after i have rooted my phone.
Has anyone else had this issue and have you resolved it in some way ?
I experience the same problem!
HTC Sensation (EU), unrooted, stock rom
A walkaround is to copy the whole message and send it again. However, I haven't found any automated way by now -.-
My one m8 is not rooted or modded in any way and I am having texting troubles. It doesn't matter what app I am in, sms texts take about two minutes to send and I sometimes receive duplicate texts from whoever I am texting. I have 4g with three bars and I dont know what the problem is. I can temporarily fix it by restarting my phone but after a couple minutes it goes back to normal. I have tried using hangouts, the htc default messaging app and verizon message and they all have the same problem.

Not sure whether this is the same thing, but my recipients are complaining about getting two of every text message from me. It doesn't matter whether I let Hangouts take over SMS or not. I've disabled the Verizon messaging app; I'm thinking of deleting it altogether. Wondering whether this is an artefact of the Sprint messaging app that is flashed with the extreme powersaver mode zip file.
First off sorry for bringing up this old thread but didnt see the sense in starting a new one.
Just wanted to add that recipients of my texts seem to pretty frequently receive duplicates. For awhile I was using Handcent but completely removed that and am using the stock messaging app with the same results in both. I have not flashed to extreme power saving mode referenced above as a possible culprit.
So with that said just curious if anyone else is experiencing this or has any possible solutions? I hate calling verizon but I may give them a call this week on it if I dont get any responses here and see what they say.
Bump. I came here to post a thread on the exact same problem. My texts almost never go through. I've googled it extensively but can't find a solution.

I know this is an old thread and I hate bumping something so old.. but as no one had posted a fix in here (and I'm sick of seeing failed to send messages in my sms app) I know of one workaround that has worked for me. In the default (messages) app, if you go into settings for sms and mms and change priority to High sms and mms work much better. I no longer see failed to send messages and they send in a few seconds rather than 30-60. The only problem is, within that same app, you see a red exclamation point next to every message you send. It's an eye sore but it's the only fix I've seen. I've had this issue on every sms app I've tried and just about every rom including stock. Hope this helps someone...
Edit: I tried finding that exclamation to just delete it from the message.apk but it's pulling it from somewhere else it seems. If anyone happens to know off hand please let me know. I'm going to keep looking for that icon to remove it. I wish this want an issue. It's these little things that drive me crazy.
Edit 2: I found it in the htc framework. com.htc.resources.apk for anyone interested. I'm removing that icon from my phone now... Hopefully it all works smoothly.
I'm on stock. Sometimes I have to reboot my phone just to send a text message because it takes forever for it to go through. Is anyone else getting this? This didn't happen when I was on 4.4.2 and my LTE signal is good.
This happened to me too. In my experience it is caused by one or both of these things: 1) verizon messaging is handling the texts before they get sent or 2) you have to many texts in your inbox you can try a cache wipe of the app but just set a 200 text limit per thread if that doesn't work

Yeah I should try setting a text limit. I like having a massive backlog though.
I've actually had this issue since before 4.4.3. Always accepted it as a VZW issue.
It's a network issue bro. Verizon network is **** right now as they're trying to update all their towers and what not. Prediction, Verizon service across the board being spotty for at least the next 6 months.
I was having the same issue. Look for the thread in here about a handoff issue.
