Is anyone else having a problem with text messages not being sent? Im using handcent and every so often a message will show the spinning icon indicating that its being sent. It just keeps spinning and spinning. When I open the stock messaging app and check the status of the message it says it was sent right when I had originally tried to send it through handcent. The person I send the message to never gets the message though.
Has anyone else had this problem? Am I going to be stuck using the stock app?
I had this problem, went back to the stock app, but it only happens when I'm at work and I go in the basement and then come out, because of the reconnecting to data bug I have to restart my phone or it won't get data, send texts or anything, I usually take my 4s to work

I've had this problem as well. Sometimes i send the message again and that solves the problem. I am not rooted and still using the stock ruu. I'm hoping it's just due to a connectivity bug that will be remedied in the OTA update...if it ever comes.

Same here. Failed messages, failed notification, dropped signal etc etc. Hoping the official OTA fixes all of that soon.

My phone is having this same problem, except it's a little worse. The phone reports the SMS as not sent but it still reaches its destination, so I'll have iPhone users getting 2-4 copies of one text. Embarrassing.
Thanks for the replies guys. Although Im glad to hear that its not just me (I can avoid requesting a replacement) it still sucks and I too hope it gets fixed with an update.

I'm hoping that this is a software issue, because my 30 days are up in a few days and they're out of stock.. because I have this same exact problem.

When you sent the message with handcent, did you happen to reply with the pop up reply box?
I use go sms and had the same issue where text were not being sent. But it only happens if I reply from the pop up notification. If I text from within the go sms app, I can text perfectly fine. I love the pop up reply so that I don't have to exit an app to reply, especially with the strict app management on the hox.

Last time it happened, I had sent a text from within the app. I installed go sms also, but I really want to use Handcent. I love that I can reply using the popup on handcent without unlocking my screen. I cant do that with go sms.

Another +1 on this. Occasionally have the problem with SMS, but often have this issue with MMS. Problem is, on my end, everything appears to be fine and that the message was sent, but the recipient is not receiving. I verified this by sending multiple SMS and MMS messages to my wife's phone, some of which were received, some of which were not received.
I have been having this problem also, both using the HTC SMS messenger and Hand cent SMS. Also lose signal from time to time for no reason. I think I'll just get a new phone before the 30 day mark.

It appears to be an issue with all 3rd-party SMS apps.
That said, ChompSMS seems to have identified the problem and resolved it completely. Ever since the last update I've had zero problems with SMS.
So, other apps should hopefully update soon too, or you can switch to Chomp.

Thank you for that information. Im going to try ChompSMS because this is one problem that I can not deal with and if it doesnt stop happening I will have to return my phone and thats something I really dont want to have to do.

I had completely forgotten about chomp. Thanks for reminding me. I started using it and while I still get messages not sending if I reply to a text from the pop up notification, it doesn't do it nearly as much as go sms. With go sms, the message not sending would happen one after another but not with chomp. And even though I don't like the sound, I've set chomp to make a sound after a successful sent message so at least I can tell if my message has sent without having to open the app.
Thanks again for mentioning chomp

SMS not sending from hancent
Having exactly the same problem..
I use Handcent and usually reply from the popup;
but I'm not sure if that's the cause of it not sending the SMS.
I've had the same problem on my old HTC desire.
This is making my GF very angry from time to time
I have the exact same issue i use Go SMS and i hit send but it never does instead it shows the little arrow that represents sending and it never finishes

Did anyone ever find a permanent fix for this. Go sms works better then others for me, but is in no way as reliable as it should be.
Is this a problem for every owner of the HOX or just some phones? Not sure if I should get a replacement.

Not sure if anyone has came across this but its happened 3 times now, I have not done a factory reset yet but i think every time it has happened i have been temp rooted. I cant say this is the cause because i havent seen any other people complaining about it, i use Chomp SMS the Donate version i reboot my phone and i can receive texts again the funny thing is the texts people sent me i never get even after reboot. any ideas???
Thanks in Advance!!
Are you referring to when you know you got a message, and but then it's gone? Try downloading gingerbread ghostly sms in the market... That catches the messages before they're lost, and can allow you to move them to your inbox. I've used it for a while haven't had a problem with it

Not sure if its the same thing but they show up on my tmobile account page online saying that i had a incoming message but its like the phone never recieved it. If thats what your referring to ill try it.
I am running the infused 1.5.3 rom and go sms. When I try to send a picture to my friend who has the exact phone I do and also my wife who has the iphone 4. They are both receiving this message
"Your phone is not compatible with this message type or size. Portions of this message will not be displayed."
Yet pics I send to my friend who has verizon go just fine. Is there some setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

does your phone ask you if you would like to resize them when you try and send...if so are you selecting yes
are there any other changes that you have made like:
freezing thesms/mms app
using a different sms app
etc etc
and then the same goes for their end...
have they made any changes, do they receive pics from others and only not yours

I am using go sms and I've tried stock sms. I haven't froze any sms apps. It doesn't ask me to resize, just the usual compressing or resizing message it normally gives without prompting for a user response. My friends infuse is stock and not rooted and my wifes iphone 4 is jailbroken but nothing has changed anytime recently with it. The apps I have frozen is just media hub. Yes they can receive pics from others and send them as well.
Edit: I have media hub, maps, and news & weather frozen.
Actually it just reads "converting to multimedia message" no prompt for anything. Very frustrating as to why mainly verizon people are getting my pics and not others. Thats how it seems anyway.
As far as trying to send pics that I actually took with my phone then forget about it. Longest I've had it sit is about 15 minutes before I get pissed and just delete the send. Those stay stuck on "sending" and never go anywhere.

I use handcent...in the settings there is an option of "max mms message size limit"
I believe you want that to be 2mb...anything over that will not send to some phones.
that has been the only instance where some people did not receive my msgs.
Have you tried on wifi and network? I have not noticed the issue on att, but on sprint you could not send or receive mms while on wifi
those are the only things I can think of

I do currently have it set to 4g 5M for the photo size. I could give that a shot. Still odd that it would not send to my friends infuse I have tried wifi and att network and home I have the 3g microcell which is NOT worth the $200. I'm kinda pissed I bought it.
If you want full bars yet calls cut in and out and you want to resend each text about 4 times cause they will instantly fail (happens no where but when I'm connected to microcell) then pick one up lol
But yea the mms issue happens elsewhere as well.

I kept the size the same for now but unchecked preserve image size and now it seems the pics send. Yesterday it would be stuck on sending. I can only test with people at work. The ones with issues are asleep right now. Hopefully that or the 2m image size fixes the issue

If you read the market reviews, a lot of people are having the same issues.
I used handcent because it had the ability to turn screen on when you receive sms. I stopped using it because people would randomly stop texting me back and I was getting annoyed... Turned out it was me. :banghead:

Nope, no issues with stock messaging. Maybe they just don't want to to talk you

How come when I turn my phone off, people I have been texting will receive messages from me that they have already sent? Sometimes it will be 15 messages at a time. And they aren't messages that werwnt sent before because they come up as sent on my phone and the person also receives them. It typically happens when I turn my phone off, and the people I text the most will receive the most messages. Any ideas? And how can I fix it?

Do you receive notification that the duplicate messages have been sent? Or can you see the message duplicates from your sent messages (seeing the same message more than once)? Finally, are the messages duplicating the same message, or a series of different messages?
Edit: I would call T-Mobile and have them perform an over the air activation to re-establish your tower connection completely. If that doesnt work then have tech support file a ticket. It sounds like your messages are getting "stuck" on the network. Since tickets take 2-3 days to resolve, go ahead and get it started. I dealt with this a lot at my previous job (AT&T), mostly with MMS though.

No i do not receive notifications but i can see the duplicates from my sent messages. And the duplicates will be several different messages, typically the more recent messages

Hi, I'm bringing this thread back to life because my girlfriends phone is doing the exact same thing. cmrn89, did Biohazard0289's suggestion fix the issue?

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the new hangouts sending MMS?
I just received official update today and MMS will not send. I get the three little dots then after a few minutes, I get the "Message not sent. Touch to retry." Everything works fine through normal messaging app.
I've done a fair bit of googling. Seems like a few others are experiencing same problem. Somewhere mentioned that the app contains APN settings within, is it possible it does not yet have the Telstra apns built in? Why would they release it to us unfinished though?
HTC One XL
Android 4.2.2
Hangouts 2.0.128
Telstra network, Australia
It isn't unfinished. Just buggy. If everyone is having the problem, then it's the apps bug, not device
Sent from my HTC One XL using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
To be fair, I would randomly / often get this same behavior with the stock messaging app, before the hangouts update even rolled out, so it could be coincidence. If you send the MMS through the stock app (assuming you still have it) or some other app does it have no problem?
Hangouts just dosent seem to want to send mms, at all im guessing its a bug im HTC one XL 4.2.2 stock rom
Not only on stock. I used it over cm, slim, beanstalk, magio. None of them work and sometimes repeats messages (sending and receiving). And on the gs3.
So what I'm saying is that this is a widespread issue and we have sit tight. Either grit your teeth and use it or go back to the normal messages app
If I've helped you or you liked what I said, hit thanks!!!
