Mass Text not working - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the past 2 days ive tried to send a group text on 2 seperate occasions to 2 separate groups of people. on both occasions ive gotten the "Cant send message, try again later" error message.
Anyone else having this problem? or know what would prevent the group text from going out. I've successfuly done it before.
Im running mango beta2, not the refresh

I believe when you send a text in Mango to multiple people it sends it as a group text, which is an MMS. Could this have something to do with it? You can try disabling Group text in the messaging setting and see if that helps.

you have too many messages and need to delete them. This happened to me and slowed down my phone. I deleted them and it ran fine and I got no message after that. Also clear the browser cache
the problem is when i try to delete threads, it freezes again

I had 400 messages and it took me a good 5 minutes to delete them all... I probably clicked the wait button a good 5 to 10 times.
thanks, i'll try that but i got way more messages then 400 lol

I had 600 when I noticed the slow down... it took awhile to delete those since then I delete at about 400 or so
FWIW, it seems there might be a problem with the push on outgoing messages tonight
I am having a problem that when I get new SMS, it uses the "From" in the list of messages as an old (and deleted) thread all the time. I also can't reply to those SMS, but have to Compose a new message to respond. The only SMS that seems to work correctly are ones that I had received from contacts before I received the one SMS that it keeps using as the "From". So, in case it wasn't clear, all my new SMS show as coming from the same address (which happens to be an email address) and I can't reply to them. I'm sure a hard reset would fix this, but I don't want to have to go through reloading everything to just fix this one thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I am a little confused on what is happening. You are saying you are receiving a ton of messages from an email address? or that your sending sms from an email address?

Any new SMS I receive from a contact show up in the message list (main screen where the "New Message" option shows as well as your messages threads) as coming from this one specific email address I received a message from about a week ago. If I open up that message thread, it shows the SMS as coming from the correct person but if I try and reply to it, it gives me an error saying "Your message has no valid recipients", so I have compose a new SMS from the main screen and put the address in to be able to respond. Some how it is keeping that one address and assigning any new SMS to that name in the thread list as well as not using the right address for replying. It's really strange and it's bugging the heck out of me!

That sounds extremely weird. I would think a hard reset will fix the problem.

Call Cust service and tell them you need Tier 2 support for Smart/Blackberry. They can fix your texting issues

I am having the same problem. When I send a new sms or recieve one, the reply always goes to the first entry in my address book, which happens to be a land line, and I then have to create a new message to reply. I tried deleting all the old messages, and now all the messages have this same problem.
Is there any way to fix this without having to do a hard reset?
I had to get a new SIM card from T-Mobile to resolve my messaging problems. Guess it was a good time since I had the same one for 8 years now.
I had to get a new SIM card when I bought my G1, mine was only 5 years old ;-)
So that shouldnt be the issue for me.

Text Messages not being sent?

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

[Q] Not Receiving SMS messages through Hangouts

Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm only getting very few messages through when people have told me they've text me, I have a few theories as to why this would be happening, but hoping someone has a solution:
As I've come from an iPhone, their phone is still trying to send as an iMessage
Google hangouts doesn't work properly yet
I've just ported over from O2 to Vodafone (serious mistake) which is causing the problem
If it's the latter I'll have to take the problem up with Vodafone, but just wondered if anyone else was getting a similar issue with Hangouts and normal messaging?
Cheers,
Joel
i can assure you it's 99% most likely that it's an imessage issue. i've gone through the hassle of trying to force a sign off of the imessage service and it's a major pita.
you need to get a hold of an iphone, and turn off the imessage service, it should start defaulting to sms on other people's iphones in a few hours/days, but it will immediately start giving your iphone using friends an error that the imessage can not be sent, they can then tell it to send as an sms, or if they have the option to revert to sms when imessage doesn't work it will do it automatically for them.
imessage is such a horrible system, and not being able to manually log out of it is very very annoying

I'm on KK 4.2 and Hangouts continually doesn't save text messages sent to me. An app called Ghostly SMS and Mighty Text will show me a couple messages every so often that never show up in Hangouts. I noticed Hangouts also has an "Import SMS" option in settings but it doesn't resolve the problem. Have you found a fix for this?

I"m having an issue also. i've never had an iphone so i know thats not the problem..
I started noticing that when I send out group messages to my friends.. i get maybe 60 to 70 % of the responses.. I only know because my wife shows me the messages she received and i'm missing several almost consitantly.. it makes me wonder if i'm missing texts that are sent straight to me.
I thought originally it could have been hangouts.. so i switched to 8SMS.. still continued.. now i'm using the Stock AOSP messaging app and still missing texts..
As far as I know i'm not having issues with calls or missing calls..
i'm praying its just a matter of getting this mysterious 4.4.3 update...

Get Ghostly SMS from the Play Store. It captures all of your sms messages so even if Hangouts or any other app misses a message you'll see the notification from Ghostly. I turn off the sound notification in Ghostly, by the way, so my Nexus 5 doesn't get annoying with beeps. The "Move to Inbox" feature doesn't work on KitKat though
Toggle your default SMS "Account to show SMS in"

My wife had this problem on her N5. Solved it by going to Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it to SMS only account. Click back confirm the missing SMS messages appear. Then go back into Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it back to your gmail account to re-merge the SMS texts with your Hangouts messages.

SMS not sending

Wondering if anybody else is having any problems sending SMS. Sometimes they send perfect and other times they take a minute then they say message not sent. Usually they resend perfectly fine. I have tried different ROMs and I have the same results. I have tried to use the stock messaging app as well as Hangouts and they both give me the same result. Have also tried removing the SIM card and they worked fine for about a week then they started to randomly not send. Not sure what the issue is and would love others feedback for a solution. Thanks
I have the same issue. I've had it across multiple roms. Good to know I'm not the only one.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I got the same problem to, I figured it's because I live in a area with bad signal but I usually have at least one bar which should be enough to send a text, I guess it's not only a problem with my phone then. I've been using a new messaging app that seems to help a lot here's a link if either of you want to try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-stock-messaging-sliding-ui-extra-t2825144
Its been plaguing me too, with hangouts. Driving me crazy
You r saying regular text don't send or mms? I know if your MMS limit is set higher then 1200 it will not sent. SMS I'm clueless tho 1st I have heard of this
I too am having the same issues, stock, un-rooted and using message+, stock app and hangouts.
Also, I have been sending and receiving the same message multiple times. My message wont send, then i'll delete it, resend it, and the recipient gets it 2-3 times. Or out of no where I'll receive the same massage 3-5 times...
I had hoped rooting and a custom rom would be the answer but I guess not :crying:

I have never had this issue never. Maybe phone issue.
I have this issue with sending pics (MMS). Text works fine but the MMS is not as smooth as the old iphone. Got to admit iphone ranks supreme when it comes to messaging. Wish there was a way is flash imessage onto our M8s.

I dont know why, but using textra really seemed to help, i had the same problem as you until i switched to textra and it really helped
Try Disabling Google Voice+
What finally fixed it for me was disabling Voice+ (Which allows apps to send SMS through Google Voice).
Messages were automatically switching to my GV number. When I disconnected the GV account, I couldn't send any SMS at all. I could still receive, though, which led me to GV+.
It was driving me absolutely insane.

RCC not sending verification code

So the update hit last night and I can't get the rich communications chat code to send. It's just counts down and says "resend" and nothing. I tried restarting it and clearing the app. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I am having the same issues

I have the same problem. It's pissing me off. It's been a week. I even called customer service to make sure there was no block on short codes on my line. And ya. Still nothing
Is anyone missing text messages? I have a high number of missed texts now.
