I am using a stock rooted rom and recently began to experience issue with sending and receiving text messages. I use Handcent SMS and have the stock messaging app frozen and for some reason the messages look like they've been sent but they actually haven't been. For some reason this only happens when I am at home and the cell reception isn't the best but it's good enough where I should be able to send receive texts. When they do happen to go through, I'll receive like 20 texts at the same time but the people had sent them hours before. I have looked for settings within Handcent and haven't been able to find anything.
Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?

Did you always freeze the stock messaging app? I used handcent on my droid incredible, but I haven't used it since because the stock and AOSP messaging apps have gotten much better.
I know that handcent used to rely on the stock messaging app for messages to pass through. Try defrosting it and simply turn off message notifications, then you won't even notice it running.

I've had the stock app frozen for almost a year and until recently everything worked fine. Handcent now has an option to choose what app you want to handle the default actions for messaging. I get a message that pops up saying the service is unavailable right now and the message will be sent when the service becomes available. I'm not sure if that is coming from Handcent or the phone.

The only thing I can think of is mobile data signal. I recently went from the vrblk3 modem to the vrbmb1 firmware and I'm noticing a big increase in my signal strength pretty much everywhere I go.
Since it only happens in your house, it sounds like you just aren't getting a good enough signal, or the data your phone says is being sent actually is getting hung up on verizon's end. I would try a different firmware package and see what happens, just don't use vrbmd3 firmware. It sounds like your issue is with your phone, not the app.

Have any of you heard of this?
Yesterday my phone decides it's NOT going to send SMS through the stock messaging app. I don't get an error, it appears as though it sends, but my recipient never receives it.....most of the time. Sometimes they go thru, sometimes they don't. It seems to mostly NOT go thru.
If the SMS does NOT go through, I can never see it in Google Voice.
If I use the Google Voice SMS app on my phone, recipient receives 100% of their SMS, same with Web interface.
If I disable my Google Voice account via the web and sign out via my phone, my recipient receives 100% of their SMS using the stock app.
I have all the settings nailed. Google Voice is set to sync, background data enabled, etc.... It was, has been working flawlessly up until yesterday with nothing on the phone changing.
I have wiped, reflashed, tried different ROMs, etc....
Today I called Sprint, they re-provisioned things, then basically said since it's a third party app they can't help. I want to beat my head against a wall here.
Anyone have any idea of what the problem could be?
I can't offer any help but I can tell you I saw the exact same problem all day on the 16th and 17th. I've since switched the Google Voice app to use it's own notifications and turned off the text notifications. For the time being, I'm not even using the stock messaging app.
I remember Sprint having an SMS problem a few months ago one afternoon, but it wasn't specific to GV. Maybe something in their GV integration system is a little wacky right now. People said they got about half of the messages I was sending before I switched to the GV app full time.
Good to know I'm not the only one. Looks like a couple of other people have the same problem over in the Google help forums. I de-integrated my account for almost two days, I'm getting ready to re-integrate it now, we shall see what happens. The support for these phones is god awful. If this doesn't resolve it I'm driving to the nearest corporate store and returning it through their window.
LOL! I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but if you do decide to "return" it, you may want to attach a brick or something. This phone feels way to light to do any damage without a little extra help.

Here's a little update. Not really a good one, but whatever...
All of the text messages I had tried to send though the stock messaging app must have made it to Sprint at least because they all just dumped en mass upon their intended recipients. I got a pile of very confused responses.
Maybe the issue has been resolved. I'll switch my settings back and experiment a little.

That didn't happen to me, but it does appear that my texts are going through. There's one person who says she never gets some, but I can see they're sycning to GV now, where they weren't before. Everyone else is getting my texts too. I have no idea what happened but I'm a little at ease knowing someone else had the problem. I hope it never happens again, I rely on SMS for my business.
Hi, I've had my rooted (bootloader still locked) AT&T One XL since early June and never really bothered with my SMS issues. I'm hoping for a solution now .__. Here are the issues I have:
1) Sending of multiple messages (this happens with the stock messaging app as well)
I saw that a few other people were having this issue too. For GO SMS, it's even worse because ppl get 3 of the same texts I send. I've tried various messaging apps but all of them result in multiple messages being sent.
2) Receiving multiple of the same messages (happens once in a while), noticed this on stock
3) White flash on the screen while using stock messaging app
Whenever I'm texting, a white flash will flash on the screen sometimes. Not really sure how to explain this one .__. I might be able to record a video of it
4) Sometimes I'll get delayed texts from my friend (I'm texting someone with TMO if that helps). The time stamp when my friend sent the text is always correct though so for example:
Me: bhalbha (1:09 AM)
Me: bahlbha????? (1:12 AM)
Person: jlsdfjsf (1:10 AM)
Person: jkldfs??? (1:13 AM)
Does anyone else have these problems/know a fix?

I FOUND IT. It says:
Service center
+13123149810
Seems like it's the correct one for AT&T
I'm having the same issues. Both the double or triple outgoing messages, and the delayed incomming messages. I checked my SMSC number and it's normal. I'm using the stock messaging app, and I'm on CleanROM 4.5.
Anyone have any idea what to try next?
Hey there, I've been looking for a way to fix this for a few days now and im stumped.
Im using Synergy rom, juice defender ultimate and handcent. My problem is when I receive MMS messages while connected to wifi I have to manually disable wifi then re-open handcent and download the message again. Same with the stock messaging app. It seems handcent doesnt like to use wifi. I cant find any settings in either app that seem to allow me to force MMS to downloag over 4g. Has anyone else had this issue?
P.s. it also happens while sending mms messages. If I do not manually change any settings and let JD do its thing, it takes hours for a picture messgae to send.

had this same issue on cleanrom. i ddint use handcent nor juicedefender. i just swtiched over to synergyrom r443. i don't have any issues now. hmmmmmm??? i am unable to explain this to you, it's well beyond my understanding. just thought i'd give you a courtesy call.
Had this issue when on a TW ROM, switched over to an AOSP ROM (LiquidSmooth) and no issues with that anymore. For what it's worth, AOSP ROMs rock ;]
I used to use cleanrom and had the same problem with and without juice defender. Id rather not change roms again im pretty happy with this rom and kernal.
Is auto retrieve checked?

I have a similar issue, just noticed it recently with CleanROM 6R2. It does not seem to happen with the stock ROM, as both my wife and I have S3's, hers stock. We are both using Verizon Messages for our texting, and we both have the settings so that integrated messaging is enabled to sync with the web and tablets we have
If I have WIFI enabled and I receive a group message, when I try to respond my *send* will fail. If I turn off WIFI, the MMS group message will send without issue. I've tried this with both Verizon Messages and Handcent, and both suffer the same issue. So it is something at a lower level than the application.
I'm temped to try a rooted stock of the latest ROM to see if the problem goes away.
EDIT: just noticed your PS, looks like we are in the same boat...

Yep, checked those options in both messaging apps.
Glad someone is having the same symptoms as me, hopefully we can figure this out.
I did use the stock rom with root for a few days when I first got the phone and I dont remember having any issues.
My one m8 is not rooted or modded in any way and I am having texting troubles. It doesn't matter what app I am in, sms texts take about two minutes to send and I sometimes receive duplicate texts from whoever I am texting. I have 4g with three bars and I dont know what the problem is. I can temporarily fix it by restarting my phone but after a couple minutes it goes back to normal. I have tried using hangouts, the htc default messaging app and verizon message and they all have the same problem.

Not sure whether this is the same thing, but my recipients are complaining about getting two of every text message from me. It doesn't matter whether I let Hangouts take over SMS or not. I've disabled the Verizon messaging app; I'm thinking of deleting it altogether. Wondering whether this is an artefact of the Sprint messaging app that is flashed with the extreme powersaver mode zip file.
First off sorry for bringing up this old thread but didnt see the sense in starting a new one.
Just wanted to add that recipients of my texts seem to pretty frequently receive duplicates. For awhile I was using Handcent but completely removed that and am using the stock messaging app with the same results in both. I have not flashed to extreme power saving mode referenced above as a possible culprit.
So with that said just curious if anyone else is experiencing this or has any possible solutions? I hate calling verizon but I may give them a call this week on it if I dont get any responses here and see what they say.
Bump. I came here to post a thread on the exact same problem. My texts almost never go through. I've googled it extensively but can't find a solution.

I know this is an old thread and I hate bumping something so old.. but as no one had posted a fix in here (and I'm sick of seeing failed to send messages in my sms app) I know of one workaround that has worked for me. In the default (messages) app, if you go into settings for sms and mms and change priority to High sms and mms work much better. I no longer see failed to send messages and they send in a few seconds rather than 30-60. The only problem is, within that same app, you see a red exclamation point next to every message you send. It's an eye sore but it's the only fix I've seen. I've had this issue on every sms app I've tried and just about every rom including stock. Hope this helps someone...
Edit: I tried finding that exclamation to just delete it from the message.apk but it's pulling it from somewhere else it seems. If anyone happens to know off hand please let me know. I'm going to keep looking for that icon to remove it. I wish this want an issue. It's these little things that drive me crazy.
Edit 2: I found it in the htc framework. com.htc.resources.apk for anyone interested. I'm removing that icon from my phone now... Hopefully it all works smoothly.
Wondering if anybody else is having any problems sending SMS. Sometimes they send perfect and other times they take a minute then they say message not sent. Usually they resend perfectly fine. I have tried different ROMs and I have the same results. I have tried to use the stock messaging app as well as Hangouts and they both give me the same result. Have also tried removing the SIM card and they worked fine for about a week then they started to randomly not send. Not sure what the issue is and would love others feedback for a solution. Thanks
I have the same issue. I've had it across multiple roms. Good to know I'm not the only one.

I got the same problem to, I figured it's because I live in a area with bad signal but I usually have at least one bar which should be enough to send a text, I guess it's not only a problem with my phone then. I've been using a new messaging app that seems to help a lot here's a link if either of you want to try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-stock-messaging-sliding-ui-extra-t2825144
Its been plaguing me too, with hangouts. Driving me crazy
You r saying regular text don't send or mms? I know if your MMS limit is set higher then 1200 it will not sent. SMS I'm clueless tho 1st I have heard of this
I too am having the same issues, stock, un-rooted and using message+, stock app and hangouts.
Also, I have been sending and receiving the same message multiple times. My message wont send, then i'll delete it, resend it, and the recipient gets it 2-3 times. Or out of no where I'll receive the same massage 3-5 times...
I had hoped rooting and a custom rom would be the answer but I guess not :crying:

I have never had this issue never. Maybe phone issue.
I have this issue with sending pics (MMS). Text works fine but the MMS is not as smooth as the old iphone. Got to admit iphone ranks supreme when it comes to messaging. Wish there was a way is flash imessage onto our M8s.

Is your MMS size limit set about 1200 or no?

I dont know why, but using textra really seemed to help, i had the same problem as you until i switched to textra and it really helped
Try Disabling Google Voice+
What finally fixed it for me was disabling Voice+ (Which allows apps to send SMS through Google Voice).
Messages were automatically switching to my GV number. When I disconnected the GV account, I couldn't send any SMS at all. I could still receive, though, which led me to GV+.
It was driving me absolutely insane.
