After working well for the first week, my Captivate has stopped recieving text messages. I have tried sending from several different sources as well as sending an email to my phone [email protected] to no avail. Anyone have any ideas on where to start?!

Check your AT&T Account manager online, make sure you still have a text messaging plan. When I did an upgrade some how it was removed and I just didn't get or receive any texts for a few days.... not even a charge.
i bet your text messaging settings got changed that happened to me but i forgot how to change srry
Finally! Someone else with this problem! I have to do a factory reset or a reflash every time it happens, and it works after that, but I haven't been having any trouble with it since I went back to stock. (No root or any fixes/sideloaded apps, only about 5 apps total installed.)
Did you have any sort of task killer installed?
Im looking at sending text messages direct from the shell, so far i have managed to insert in to the mmssms.db using:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db;
insert into sms values(null,13,'1234567890','',1298457182496,'',1,32,6,'','','test','',0,0,1);
the status of 32 is what the messages get assigned if you try to send a message when you dont have signal, so my thoughts were if i entered a message in to the db with that status, it would get automatically sent. Sadly it doesn't.
I have tried restarting the mms app and turning airplane mode on and off and this doesnt work. BUT, manually sending another message will cause both messages to get sent OR restarting the phone will send the message upon restart.
So i am wondering is there a command i can use in shell which will cause the messaging app to sort of refresh its self and see it has a message stuck on pending and send it, the same was restarting or sending another message does?
Thanks

It seems like there is some function/method for sending things that are stored... you may want to consult the all knowing google

i have tried, just a bit unsure what im searching for though..
Hi! I'm using the stock sms app. I have had zero trouble before with messages, but a couple of days ago my messages wouldn't just get sent. I can receive fine, but afted sending an error only pops up saying message not sent. I believe this is some sort of problem with my smsc number, because when I use Go SMS and type in my smsc number manually, I can send messages fine. Calls and internet are working.
When I call *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information, the smsc box is empty and if I hit update, it just comes up with an error.
I think I accidently pressed update before this problem came up and the box said 00. Any help would be very much appreciated because I prefer the stock sms app to 3rd party ones.

I'm not sure if that is the problem, as my smsc field is empty and I'm not experiencing the same issue. What is your preferred network type?
WCDMA Only, but it seems I got it fixed. I didn't reaize that I had to encode the sms centers number. Working now
I have a motorola i886 which is a weird sorta-android phone with no touchscreen... Anyways, I managed to figure out how to root it but now I have another problem.
For some reason whenever I try to send a text message with anything other than the built-in messaging app, it will immediately fail to send. (they all get 'message failed to send' or 'message not sent' errors immediately after I try to send a message) I have tried chompsms, gosms and the quick reply feature from sms popup and they all fail. They can all read incoming messages OK but can not send for some reason.
Is this maybe some kind of permissions issue? In the manage applications menu it says that they all have the send_sms permission...
Does anyone have any idea of anything else I can check or try to get them working? I am kind of thinking that it may have something to do with the fact that this is such a strange phone and a weird modified android...
I bought a brand new s7 edge, USA unlocked version (no carrier specific) and activated it on PP. I had to buy a Pp nano SIM as my previous phone, a verizon S5 , used a micro sim.
Activation went smoothly. My phone rebooted and "programmed" the SIM and I was immediately able to make calls, use data, and send and receive messages.
Then a few hours later, when sending SMS texts, my phone would get stuck sending texts, then after a few minutes report that the message could not be sent. I could retry over and over and it keeps failing.
Now for the strange parts..
1. The recipient is actually getting my texts despite my phone reporting it wasn't sent.
2. Sms works normal if I am on a call when I hit SEND.
3. Mms works normal in all situations.
So I have tried many things.. restoring to defaults, clearing system cache, resetting phone to factory defaults in bootloader.. Turning 4g data off, turning wifi off, and pretty much anything else you might find a on google search. .nothing solves it. I spent hours on PP support calls who had me do everything again, they reset / reprovisioned my sim which made it activate again.. still nothing.
It's driving me crazy getting 100 failed message errors a day.
I am thinking next I may try getting a new Sim.
Another option might be setting up a SIP caller app to use for messaging, like Csipsimple, but I'm not sure what settings to enter for pageplus, or if they even support SIP text & calls.
Please help! Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hello,
try clearing the data of the sms app
or else try another app from play store to see if the problem is from the buildin app
Thank you for the reply. I forgot to mention that yes I have tried that as well. I have cleared the SMS data several times and tried a couple different SMS apps like Google messages, Facebook Messenger, and a few others. They all have the issue.

Thanks! I think you are right about the root of the problem. However the solution may not be so simple for me. The command *#*#INFO#*#* does nothing on my phone. I'm trying to find another way to edit that setting but having trouble. I'll keep searching but it sounds like a new SIM car might also solve it?
First take out your sim and check if its OK my friend asked me about an exact same issue with a note 3, I told them to take out the sim and try another one, we came to know that the sim was damaged by a way or another

Thanks, I'm happy to order another SIM, however one thing that confuses me is how would the SMS go through fine when I'm on a phone call? If the message center number or sim were corrupted shouldn't it fail on a call as well?
Hello again, a corrupted SIM will surely cause both messaging and calling issues, i may recommend to test another SIM to check if the problem still exist, it yes, then it's from the SIM
and no, the message center isn't related to calls

But I would like you to check another sim if available, since it's more like a phone problem and not a sim hmmmmm
Unfortunately I do not have another sim, so I ordered a other one to try and activate with.
Got my new SIM card and activated it today, still having the same problem.. ?

Hope, any more ideas? I'm fresh out!
Is there some way to use a SIP or similar app to send SMS through using my normal number?
Or how about rooting my phone to try to hack the message center number or maybe the SIM card ?

Did it happen after an update ?
my question is are you trying to send to your friend or to a premium number such as a service provided by your carrier ?

No it did not happen after any update, and no premium messaging of any kind.
Again the message does get to the recipient, its just my phone giving me the false error that it wasn't sent.

Try turning both WiFi and mobile data and trying to send
------
1.Install Handcent SMS
2. go to send message settings > delivery report
3. Here you can delete undelivered conversations and end your "messages not sent"
This app seems to work also.
----
Also check your network signal
---
Do another factory reset and try handcent again

Have done all of the above, still not working .. haaaalpp
With Handcent I can set it to not vibrate or set off my message notification sound on failed messages, which helps.. but I still get the popups saying it failed.
Again I have to stress that messaging works fine when I'm on a call, where mobile data is not available.. but if I disable mobile data while not on call, it still fails to send. Surely this must suggest a possible solution, although I am not adept enough in Android to say what that is..
Hello,
Message app > settings > more settings
can you capture what do you got there ?
