Hello everyone,
So im gonna make this short and sweet.
Had a thunderbolt, it was plagued with the nasty " sending texts to the wrong contacts " issue.
Got verizon to send me a droid 3! WOO AWESOME...
first thing i did was re sync, re download a few apps. cool great awesome story, but i noticed as soon as it was activated any text i send to a verizon phone gives me the delivery report " failed " ( using GOSMS. ) but i can recieve them, works with AT&T though... so..
called verizon, did a hard reset, re activated re updated PRL and had them do some stuff on their end.. to no avail.
Finally, put the phone into safe mode. sent a text using the stock text messaging application..worked fine.
so i uninstall GOSMS re install.. same issue, So i tried handcent.. same issue.
Now, this is reflected in the stock app. so if i send a message in GOSMS, and it fails.. if i go to the stock app it reflects that and says it failed.. ive tried EVERY messaging application and they all do the same thing... at this point im confused and out of things to try.
anyone have any idea's?
thanks in advance!

Hi:
After Froyo update my texts no longer send. To me, everything appears normal, sends normally etc, but the recipient never receives them. I am receiving sms normally though.
Any thoughts? I'm desperate to get this fixed.
Thanks so much!
EDIT: MMS seem to work fine, it is only standard sms which do not work.
Anybody? Any suggestions at all would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks again!
thats weird, mine in ok after the update. but before I update to froyo, I factory data reset my phone. did u try it?

Check the message center number, I use the aosp mms.apk so im not sure how to do it on samsung mms.apk...att has a device tutorial on their website, might be able to use it and find out...I use to work tech for att and 99% of the time if you are able to receive but not send, its the msg center number...its something like +13123149810 ..if I remember correctly (might be wrong but check)
EDIT
here try this ... http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/solutionDisplay.jsp?solutionId=KB115194
EDIT 2
also make sure its not the recipients fault, (problem with their network..etc..try sending a sms to yourself, and try sending to different people on different networks) ..its probably the msg center number, but just to make sure...

My wife was having a similar problem after upgrading to Froyo, but only when sending to certain contacts. Not all. We ended up noticing that some of her contacts numbers looked like +xxx-xxxx. When we added a 1 after the plus (so +1-xxx-xxxx), it started sending correctly. Kinda weird, but it worked for us. So check your numbers and maybe either remove the + or add a 1 before the area code and see if that works.
You can try taking out your SIM card, putting it onto an older ATT phone. Send the it a message and make sure you receive it , send one as well. Then put the SIM card back into the other phone. This method worked for me when I had similair issues.
Take all parentheses and dashes out of the contact numbers - 8001234567
Trust me, it will work.
If all of that fails, swap the sim card with a friend. See if texting works with his sim card. I know it sounds weird, but my daughter had a similar problem with her samsung phone. It turned out to be the sim card.
Hi Everyone:
Thanks so much for your replies. Sadly none of them seemed to do the trick for me.
I am going to try a hard reset, since nothing else seems to work. I just haven't had time to re-install everything, so I haven't done it yet.
Thanks again!
PS: If that fails, is there a way to re-flash the froyo update from AT&T, I originally flashed through Keis mini, but it will not let me do it, since I am now up to date as far as it's concerned.
Hi Again:
I just discovered that sms do send if I use Handcent, or any other 3rd party software to send them.
Is there a was to re-install the stock messaging app only?
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I searched the forums and haven't found anything that has any good answers or is fantastically relevant to me, so I'm making a new thread
Over the past couple of days I have not been able to send texts atall. I can receive them, I can receive and send calls aswell.
I get the error 'Unable to send message after multiple attempts', and I cannot text anyone atall.
I am using a HTC Sensation with Pyramid3D v8.2.1 XE Rom on Vodafone.
I have tried copying my APN settings to a new one and using them, I have tried re-connecting to Vodafone Contract using the Mobile network settings. I have tried deleting and re entering my contacts, and also I have tried the obvious turning off and on again.
I do not think I did anything related to the problem at the time to trigger it, only that I added a new contact after a friend sent me a text. After that point I could no longer text.
Hope that's enough info, any help is welcome!
Cheers,
Jack
It could be your rom. But have you tried to download any other sms apps from the market? Try them out, maybe they can solve the problem.

Well I have just found out that I can't even connect to the internet!
So now I can't even download a new app if I wanted.
It says I'm connected to the internet, and I have signal, but it just gives up as soon as I try to do anything online or send a text.
Just wanted to post saying what I had to do to solve the problem incase someone else has the same problem.
I had to completely reload my ROM and then load on all my my apps and data. After everything was reloaded I then had signal and internet back. I still have no idea why it happened!!
I had the same problem....
and here is what happened: my text message was too long, so it was automatically converted to a MMS. (this seems to be done when the message contains more then 765 characters!)
and not every phone is equipped to receive mms... That is when I got that error message!!
When I divided up my text into 2 parts... it worked normally again and send it !!
I was listening to Music & texting on my rooted s3 when bam! It suddenly stopped sending texts ..I tried restarting my phone but nothing, tried to send texts to other people but same result. Tried calling & it works perfectly, asked my friend to text me & i got it ..tried replying & i failed.
I am running rooted VRALHE ..can someone help me please?!

From what you post you are stock rooted. Ask Verizon. Root has nothing to do with how phone works.
& just like that its working now.
Is this some sort of glitch or something?
Any one have any ideas cause I didn't do anything when it stopped working or when it started workings again
text sending is down
Mine is still down. What I think I should do is go back to stock rom and start all over with a new custom recovery. Problem is I haven't done this enough to remember what to do and what files I need.
I'm pretty sure that started as an app conflict.
It just happens. I think it's on Verizons side. It happened to me and my girlfriend at the same time (same phone, different Verizon accounts) and she was 2 hours away at the time
If you're responding to me, make sure to quote me so I get an immediate email
I tried asking this in the Dev area related to the specific Rom I tried ([JellyBean][4.2.2]Unofficial CM10.1) and didn't get an immediate response ... so I thought I'd ask a more generic question....
New to Samsung Infuse 4G custom roms... but needed to update my wife's phone so I came here. I'm quite fond of CM 10.1 on my Acer A500... so it seemed a great fit.
So far, the rom I chose ([JellyBean][4.2.2]Unofficial CM10.1) is working well for her, but for one thing... instead of getting AT&T voicemail notifications, she gets an SMS from 1001005080. I assume this is the vm notification, just not being handled correctly by her phone (as it does occur when vm is left). NOTE: Not interested in going the google voice solution... just want her vm notifications back.
Can someone recommend a Jelly Bean Rom for the Infuse 4G for which AT&T Voicemail notifications are known to be working? Or a way to fix the issue on my [JellyBean][4.2.2]Unofficial CM10.1 setup?
Thanks in advance!
i have seen this problem on other peoples phones before, and they liked it, as if they setup it up that way, have you tried calling your provider and see if its setup that way on their end or not? also you may have to reset your vm settings (ie call your vm and reset to default over the phone) it shouldnt be anything to do with the rom
I hope you won't mind if I bring up one of my own problems regarding voicemail. When I was running gingerbread (stock, unrooted) I randomly got a voicemail notification one day and it never went away. After rooting and going to JB thru ICS, my first JB ROM was Slim Bean (this was a few months ago, so a really outdated version). The voicemail notification disappeared. After that, I changed ROMs and then the voicemail notification reappeared. Ever since then, I have not been able to get rid of it. I was using Google voice when I originally got the notification, but since then I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but the notification has never gone away. Whenever I reboot the phone, the notification shows up about 30 sec - 1 min after rebooting and never goes away.
Thanks for anything you can do to help.
Functionally it doesn't affect my phone, it just is an annoyance and takes up space in the notification drawer.

Setup that way>
The voicemail notifications were previously working normally on her AT&T official GB Rom and as well on a rooted GB ROM I installed on her phone. It's only when I installed the JB based ROM that the issue occurred. I don't know why one would like it that way... you get a msg when VM is left and then another one when you login and listen/delete it. Seems a hassle to then have to manually delete the msgs (and to my wife as well!).
Setup on their end>
Again, no change there.
Reset vm Settings>
Worth a try. I'll see if it changes anything.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Well... nothing I tried to change in voicemail made any difference. So I took a different approach... this Infuse has been flakey the entire time my wife had it, so for $.99 I upgraded her to a Samsung Galaxy S III refurbished phone. Hugely better... and ... true voicemail notifications are back! No weird SMS msgs. So something weird must have happened in my upgrade to JB.
Love the III though !

ok so i got a boost mobile moto g, great phone and all but.. i unlocked the boot loader, wiped the stock rom and installed cm11 and it went well for the first 2 days or so. i will now get "ghost" texts. it says my sister is trying to send me a multi-media text but she has never sent one. then it started saying "no APN specified on device" whenever it did this. then fixing my permissions with rom manager started deleting dolphin browser everytime i fixed em. also whenever i reboot my phone i must make a phone call before it will allow me to send a text or else the text just wont send. last but not least, yesterday i started getting texts from people that didnt send me a text or sms saying that i sent a text that the person i was texting had actually sent. anyone have the same problems? any luck on solving them?
