Hi,
To activate synchronisation, the system needs to send an activation SMS. I have tried doing this multiple times, but it keeps complaining it failed to activate.
am I the only one having this issue?

I had a problem with the stock msg app going into a continueoues looping resending a text because it was reprtoing that the number was incorrect.
So:
1. I couldn't find this, but is there a way to NOT have it resend on an error
2. If I load on any msg app, is there a way to disable this msg app?
3. any other options anybody can provide??
Thanks
I found this in another phone thread, so I guess this is how to disable the stock if I gho that route..
Open messages and hit menu. Uncheck received notification.
Very strange and anoying. I disabled the stock app, installed handcent set the settings where I thought it doesn't resend on error nd then it starting sending the same msg over and over that the stock one was sending.
FYI - msg is:
2288 error invalid number, please re-send using valid 10 digit number or short code. how can i clear out this msg or have my msg app stop sending it???
update, I did a search and found a number of peiople reporting this problem on other phones but no reported fixes related to this phone. So stuck right now with handcent uninstalled, it continued to resend the stupid msg even with the data off. So back to stock with data off, so NO text functionality at this time unles I can figure out how to clear. reset was suggested on the phone, but that will blow alot of instal apps and data away. so last resort..
EDIT: the last resort didn't work, factory reset and after reboot the d&*n text started up again... I don't under stand how it can send/receive text with no network setup... fyi - I using the phone on a at&t pre-paid network. The 3GS worked great, this phone has issues and thsi is the biggest one.
hi guys,
I enabled Voice+ during the initial setup but quickly realized I now cannot send any SMS out of the phone. (my Carrier number tied to GV is different from my current carrier number.)
I've read up on it and HAVE tried the following-
- Disable Voice+ in Settings>Wireless Networks>More>Voice+
- Uninstall Google Voice app
- Deleted Google Voice cache and app data in Settings>App>All apps
- Deleted app data and force stop Voice+ in Settings>App>All apps
restarted again and again. Yet I still cannot send any SMS out of the phone.
Calling out and receiving calls work fine however. Receiving SMS also works.
I've run out of options and the final solution I realize is to wipe the phone and start a new but this time ignore when they ask for Voice+. However, I would prefer if there was a way to completely wipe or uninstall Voice+, and only Voice+, as an individual app within CM11.
Any other users who experienced the same problem are also welcomed to share your steps to solving this issue.
- EDIT : Problem Solved, Solution below-
So after hours of searching and troubleshooting, I finally gave up and factory reset the phone from Recovery. After setting it back to how it was before without installing Google Voice and without enabling Voice+, SMS STILL WOULDN'T SEND!!
Now I figure the problem might be something else, I switched SIM card back to my old phone and sure enough, SMS would not send.
Then I went into *#*#4636#*#* and checked the SMSC, Googled my carrier's SMSC and change it to that, hit Update, Refresh, Reboot.
Works just as it should now. Turns out, SMSC (short message service center) number was messed up somehow, I might have changed it to something else in the beginning of troubleshooting this issue before disabling and uninstalling the apps.
Protip/TLDR : Google YOUR carrier's SMSC number and change it to that if you're having a problem like mine.
Cheers, Problem solved. Please close thread.
Hi,
I am trying to send a SMS to another user but it just stuck. Receiving works normally.
I have it rooted with magisk and using 2 Sim Cards and multiple contact groups via nextcloud.
Is there a fix or workaround for that?
is fixed, issue was a "fix" for the GCam App. Removed, working again.
Hey All,
Recently been having issues sending SMS. The RCS texts work fine but SMS fail to send most of the time. This is also happening to a friend with the same phone. He's on Version network I'm on AT&T. I'm using Google's Messaging App have tested this with original app. Same issue. Any clues for a fix? This just popped up for us.
Have you tried set message center number?

Either your msg center number or your device need reprovisioned. I have the issue with them when I do multiple aim swaps
I don't like the Mi Messages app that came with the phone so I installed Google Messages of course and set it as the default SMS app - but it always pops up "Failed to start conversation please try again later". In the Google Messages settings it says "No Compatible SIM card detected".
Noteworthy i can make phone calls just fine and in SIM settings it shows the KOODO sim card and phone number - somehow the Google messages app is struggling to detect it - is there anything I can do?
I've tried basic things like cache clearing or phone rebooting
Note - I figured this out but cannot delete thread
Browsing other threads here i found others discussing similar problem - I manually assigned some permission to the app and it seems to be working now
