i have newer version of captivate with gps fixed but few days ago it stopped sending text message although it can still receive text messages.
normally after sending message, it usually displays time stamp under the text but when it does not work it just displays "sending" as status indefinitely.
phone is rooted and has gingerbread i believe.
I also called customer center service and they did not see any issue from the point of service provider.
Anyone has experienced the issue? Thanks,
I'd have them check again to make sure that text is setup right on your account.
Beyond that what have you changed recently. Typically something like texting wont just stop working on the phone without something having been changed.
Is the ROM that's on there one you flashed? If so back it up, reflash to a clean state and see if text works. Then restore a bit at a time and see when it fails.

somebody also had this problem and he did a factory reset and he was able to send messages again but he is saying that he has lost his root although it's not possible
here is the link to thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540652
DID factory reset and now can send message. but cant root it back. crappy phone. tried from both of my laptop and desktop machine using odin v1.81. problem never gets around captivate.
Do the heimdall flash of KK4 or Apex ROM. Same as stock, but with root and all the problems gone.

It's hard to tell what is wrong without the proper information.

He is using a tilt..Weird i used to have this problem with my mogul every once in a while where it would revert back to older texts as new and anyones i sent after them would be gone like they were never sent...Never found a solution... I just let it go figuring it was some weird glitch
i had this issue on my old kaiser with stock rom
but it was only day old texts
I cant not receive texts but i can send them and I've tried everything i can think of taking the battery out resetting it and deleting the text messages? can someone help please
I had this problem before, which seemed to occur when I changed the firmware string in my system file to unlock the full android market.
I reverted back that change, and then restored from my most recent titaniumbackup to fix this issue.
I'm not 100% sure on what causes this, nor what exactly fixed it, but I did manage to fix it without a full reflash.
the thing is it was a full fresh phone and was in complete working order then it just stopped working there was not anything done to the phone
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!
So first things first, I was running Synergy r73 fine for a few days, beautifully even.
Then today out of the blue without changing anything, my phone had some brief freezing issues and then I could no longer send texts or outgoing calls. I am still receiving texts, and my data connections work perfectly, but when I try to send a message I just get a "failed" notification a few seconds later. When trying to call out I just get nothing and then the call ends after 20 seconds or so.
I tried a battery pull, sim reseating, data/cache reset, and I even used ODIN to go back to the stock VRALHD rom. Still having the same problem.
I can't call Verizon support until tomorrow and all the retail stores in the county close on Sundays, so I figured posting here in the meantime couldn't hurt.
I had the same exact issue and had to go all the way back to VRALF2, following the stickied guide, and once I did that I had to dial the reprovision code. I can't remember the code off of the top of my head but it is posted all over the place. I would try that first and if it doesn't work then go all the way back stock. Also get the Phone Info app, open it and go into Device information and on the little drop down box make sure LTE/CDMA/EvDO is selected. Do those two things and see if that doesn't solve the problem, and if not then you may have to go all the way back to the first stock ROM like I did, hopefully you won't though!

I checked the radio mode with the phone info app and it's what it should be. I guess I'll be doing another odin flash. Hope it works
EDIT: Going back to the older stock flash didn't work either, even after doing the reprovision code :-/
I guess I'll be making a trip to the store tomorrow
New phone is in and working perfectly. I do miss some of the aspects of the Synergy mod, but now I'm hesitant to re-rom it. Is it even remotely possible that rooting and installing a rom can cause this issue to happen several days after installing?
In phone info make sure it is set to LTE/CDMA/EVDO
So, this is bit of a new issue, one I've not had before. I wish Hangouts/Messenger still had the Service Center ID in the settings in order to fix this, but, in the long/short run...
I unboxed my pixel and put my SIM in, started the phone. LTE/UMTS work perfect, locked right on, good signal/speeds, can place/receive calls, all is right in the world? I noticed after an hour I hadn't received any texts, and after feeling very unimportant, I sent a SMS to a friend, and got an immediate error. Out of curiosity, I went into the INFO settings (*#*#3646#*#*) and went into the SMSC settings. pressed refresh, which, populated an error. I manually typed mine, hit update, went back to hangouts, and voila!
The next day, I restarted the phone ( I like to do this often. I am also this user who actually turns their phone off from time to time ) and noticed upon restart, the problem resurfaced, like as if I never updated it to begin with.
Is this occurring with anyone else? I've yet to see a phone completely dump it. I'd prefer not to download another SMS application really, but, it's just inconvenient those few times I do restart it that I lose that SMSC number...
I'm having the problem as well but still haven't been able to fix it with the same procedure you did. It's driving me nuts.
UPDATE EDIT: I just realized the Wifi is interfering with it. As soon as I turned off the wifi, the txt would go out.
I'm having this same issue. I've contacted support about it, but haven't gotten a response yet (they said I would have an update yesterday).
If I manually put the SMSC in, and then Update, I can send texts briefly, but eventually I start getting an error 38 instead. A reboot and then manually entering the SMSC again allows me to send texts again.

I'm curious if setting your mobile data to always-on would be a functional workaround to help until they can get this fixed for real. Have you tried that?
