worked for me. what changed?
Somehow it's possible for the message center to get corrupted/lost... Happened to me too.
Looks like the OP solved the problem, but I have this issue with my microcell. I can text everywhere but home. I have to try resending some texts 3-4 times. There is an new iphone in the house that has no issues, nor did my old 3gs have any issues on the microcell.
My wife and I have the same issue. Granted when we aren't at home and the signal is still low we will have failed texts but at home its horrible. I think AT&T is full of crap and the Mcell doesn't handle SMS and MMS as it should.
There is a thread here called "text message issues (infused)" I can't post links yet...but it refers to microcell and texting issues. It says there are posts that discuss fixing it, but I can't seem to find anything.
The other day I only had one or two fail, but today had been worse than normal, every single text fails at least twice. Really starting to wear on my nerves.

I have the same problem with my phone. I just got an Infuse less than 2 weeks ago. Before that I had an HTC Aria, a Palm Pre Plus, and an iPhone 3G. None of those phones had problems with the mCell from AT&T or texts, but my Infuse immediately had trouble sending texts, and only on the mCell. I guess the Infuse and the microcell don't play nice together. Wonder if AT&T will fix it? We'll probably have better luck with a dev figuring it out for us first.
I had the same issue with MicroCell with the phone on WIFI. Once I turned of the wifi, the message usually sends without a hitch. Maybe it has something to do with the cellular connection not staying alive while on wifi with the microcell?

I think I tried this already, with no luck, but I'll try again once I get back home.
Sometimes it took a few seconds after I disabled WiFi, but it solves the problem 90% of the time for me.

It also sometimes happens minus the microcell, which leads me to believe it has something to do with WiFi.... personally
You may be on to something with the wifi. I have tried it for the past two days without wifi on and all of my texts have gone through. Could just be a coincidence, I'm going to do some more testing in the next few days to see what happens turning wifi back on and off.

Had the same problem on my phone as well, was worried i messed up my kernal or something like that... worked like a charm. thanks!!!
Is there different messaging center #'s? I reverted back to stock so I could do the ota update to the new firmware, then I installed the community kernel and somehow it erased that #. I input the 1321....# and it works like a charm now. I dont want to get hit with any fees or surprises so just wanted to make sure the messaging center # was the same for all phones.

OK so I need some help . . . . . after flashing a new ROM/kernel, I noticed that my network service was insanely poor. I thought it had to do with the new ROM but now after I have tried every which way of flashing and reflashing, I still have the issue. I used Speedtest to see what kind of DL speeds I was getting and I am usually in double digit kbps, 114kbps is my top. My wifes Acclaim regularly gets 600+ to the same server. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I may have screwed up or how I can go about fixing it? Everything works fine in WiFi btw.
Thanks in advance.
Fixed: Somehow I managed to get knocked off my 3G service. Called USCC tech support and they were able to turn it back on for me.

Try updating your prl. Dial *228 when at home and not roaming. Follow the prompts and wait for it to update. Should help and really can't hurt.

I called 911 and it didn't work. The 911 operator didn't have any ideas either.
Well it's starting to look like I should start think about buying a new phone. I have tried everything within my ability and nothing. In a last ditch effort, where could I find a flashable radio that I could use just to make sure it is installed correctly?

Try going back to 2.1 and see how the data is. I somehow got a new prl when I flashed aosp and my girlfriends phone is on an earlier version. We both did the *228 and hers stays at 15108 mine stays at 15110. There is supposed to be a way to manually update our roll back prl. Idk wish I did

I did flash back to 2.1 and the data issues remain. The PRL on my phone and my wife's Acclaim are both 15110, but she gets 3G service and I don't. It also takes over a minute for my 1x service to load after turning off wifi. Also, If I force EVDO, I will get a "3G" banner at the top of the screen, but data does not work and the banner eventually goes away.
Additionally, is it normal to get a Verizon voice when you *228 while roaming? Because that is what I got when I was roaming yesterday. I have to believe that flashing Fascinate software has something to with it.
You could check the efs clear box in odin. I know it has something to do with service. I did that once in my vibrant by mistake. Are you dialing 911 in your home area? It needs to be in a uscc home area same with *228. The efs clear might break your phone worse so.......

Yes, which is why I said do it while NOT roaming. If you completed the *228 while roaming on Verizon you basically connected your phone to their network not USCC's.

I did the *228 at home while not roaming. When I got the Verizon thing while roaming I just hung up I never went through any kind of programming. This was well after things went awry anyways.
I believe this all started a few days ago when I tried flashing the ComaVolt kernel. I got a boot loop and had to do a battery pull. I then flashed dfgas's superclean port and I thought everything was working fine until I got out of wifi the next day and noticed my network service was aweful.

Do you have a belief plan? If so flash it to stock with odin and take the phone in and tell them to give you a new one. Even if you don't have a belief plan I would flash it ti stock and take it in telling them it's defective. worth a shot. Sorry that nothing is working for you bud.

I do have a belief plan but I bought the phone on Ebay a few months back. I was just out for a bit and the banner at the top would go into "3G" but while it was like that I had no network connection. Somehow I pooched my 3G radio I guess. Maybe I'll call tech support and see if they can help. Everyone I have ever talked to over there has been really good so maybe it's worth a try.

itll sometimes reconnect to data. not sure whats making it do that but its not actually transmitting. dunno.
Probably because it is still connected to the network, att needs to keep tabs on you. Plus your calls/text are never coming over wifi (going into airplane mode means you don't get those)
Mine will pop up here and there but I'm guessing it's just checking syncs in the background. I do use the att address book. My data symbol doesn't stay on though when on wifi.

Mine does go back to hiding. Not sure why yours isn't unless you have some odd app that's keeping it open.
Mine does this as well. While I'm on wifi the h+ will come on and sometimes go away, but sometimes it stays on the screen. It doesn't seem to affect anything so I don't worry about it.
Just curious, are you sending or receiving any MMS msgs when this is going on?

My At&t rep made a store visit today and showed me this app. It's one app that displays your voice mails, texts and call log. I just installed it and got it setup, haven't messed with it that much but it looks cool.
Android Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.att.android.mobile.attmessages&feature=search_result
i saw that in the market today. but didnt mess with it. ill try it out
I don't think it plays well with wifi. Since installing it my wifi times out even though the sleep policy is set to never. If anyone else can confirm this let me know.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
I like it so far...nothing super exciting, but works well.
My phone says it's not with AT&T, even though it is.
Maybe this is an Infused 2.02 problem.
Note: This only happens when I'm browsing on my laptop to download it from there. It works directly from the phone. VERY strange~
Be careful about this app. I installed it this morning and didn't like it so I took it back off. It took me >2 hours to get AT&T to fix my voicemail box again. Even once it was "fixed" I can't access it through the regular voicemail numbers, but have to dial my own number, so it still isn't really fixed.
It takes over text messaging and voicemails, so if you don't want to use it for texting don't install it. There may be a way to get it to allow texting through another app but I didn't see it.

I got my text messaging working fine as soon as I uninstalled the app, it just interfered while installed. That's what I didn't like about it. What I was warning about is it FUBAR's your voicemail. It does warn you that it's removing your voicemail-box but it doesn't tell you that it'll take an act of Congress to get voicemail working again. lol
I uninstalled it to test. I held 1 on dialpad and got into my VM fine?

Did you completely set up the messages app? If so, maybe I was just lucky enough to have problems. lol. I don't think it clears vm until after the app setup is complete. It removed the basic voicemail from my account but apparently messed some other stuff up behind the scenes. If it works for everybody else then just ignore me.

The phone app needs some work, definitely. More settings, sure, but the wifi issue is the biggest problem for me. It turns off at least once per hour (or every other hour). It does seem to be a bit sluggish as well in terms of how the app feels.
The website isn't too bad, though. I love that you can capture audio and video. I've been waiting for google to have web-based MMS for a long while now and AT&T did it! The quality could be a bit better on the audio and video, but for a beta, it's tolerable.
And the notifier app is nice, but I wish I could type more text in the reply field.
All in all, given that it's a beta, it's not bad. Needs love in a few areas, but once those are worked out I think it'll be a nice system to use.
Does anyone have the APK for this app? I uninstalled it cause it was turning my WIFI on and off, but now it's no longer in the market so I can't get it again?
thats because the infused rom was made on the rogers network. not at&t. so thats probably why it wont work

No i was taking about the AT&T Messages app that was out on the market. It's no longer in the market. I was asking if someone had the apk for the AT&T MESSAGES app. I no this app is on other AT&T android phone cause my friend has the Atrix and i was checking it out on his phone. So i no this app is available for other AT&T android phones.
Here it is. I found it in the Atrix forum
Oops. Sorry. I should have read further and seen that it was you looking for it. Sorry for the false alarm.
Probably not the one he is looking for.
doost650 - I replied in your Atrix thread.
It was working fine for me for 6 days and now all of a sudden started messing with my wifi. Kept turning on by itself. So I uninstall it luckly I didn't have that VM problem like some of you guys mention. My VM still works but its still using that new AT&T Messages VM.
I am in search of an app to text over wifi. At my sisters house I don't get good service and I have people to text...but everyone is all about the whatsapp messanger but I cannot for the life of me figure it out... they say they will send me a message to verify but I never get a message :/ I deleted it and reinstalled it but no luck so any other ideas?

I use Text+ and have found it to be great. Though it does give a different number my wife just put it in her address book as my tablet. I can at least use it both on my phone and tablet and still have the same number for both.
I might have to try one of these. When I go hang out a my cousins house my phone switches the network to telcel since we are close to the border so this would help me out some.
