SMS not working after Froyo update, please help.

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!

Google Voice App Activation Outside US

I am a US citizen that just recently moved overseas. I bought a GSM Galaxy Nexus and have been trying to get it set up with google voice so I can text with it and check voicemail. Anyway it require a phone number verification through SMS I guess. Is there a modified apk anywhere that bypasses this? I know you can use voice on a wifi only tablet for texting and voicemail and what not. Is there maybe some way to change my phone's device type just while installing? Anyway, any help would be appreciated. I have searched around for help and mostly just find info on how to get a google voice number outside the US.
Edit: Well I wish there was an easier way but in case anyone stumbles across this I did figure something out. I backed up the copy on my Asus Transformer and just restored the data to my nexus and it works. Mine was loaded on the tab before I left but I bet you could side load the apk on a tablet, sign in, and do the same thing I did since the tablet won't try and do a sms verification.

Talkatone
Try this app called "Talkatone" in the play store should work for you.

Hey, I'm in the same boat now with an Xperia T abroad. I have a titanium backup of my SGS2 E4GT setup with gVoice. Can you tell me which files you restored to your new phone? Thanks.

I just did a backup with Titanium and then restored the app and data. I didn't specify particular files to restore. I just let Titanium do its thing.

Lost phone. Plan B may not work

Hey
So a friend of mine lost his phone. He texted me asking for help on retrieving it.
I obviously thought of Plan B. But the problem is that he signed into the same Gmail account on two phones so plan b may not go to the right phone.
Will resetting the new phone allow plan b to go to the lost pphone?
Any ideas?

Plan B will probably work of you just remove the Google account from the second phone, rather than resetting it.

When you click install...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&hl=en
It gives you the option of which phone to install it to. The phone list is in chronological order. Send it to both if you have to. You will get 2 locations in your Gmail as long as your friends Gmail is still logged in. Obviously you'll know which one is the right one.

Thanks. I installed it remotely.
However Plan B still hasn't sent me a location.
Any ideas on imei tracking?

When I log in, it still gives me the option to install to all my previous phones. They are all listed and I know I logged out.
Maybe whoever found the found already wiped it. Since that Gmail is no longer associated with that phone, the install won't go through. It just gets lost in cyber space.
Once the lost phone is reset / wiped. Chances of locating it slim down. I hope someone turns it in for your friend. Good luck.

[Q] monitoring app for rooted phone

I rooted my phone and my wife's. She's been hiding things and deleting messages and sending off pics of herflself and deleting them. I tried using a recovery app. But is there something that I can install on her phone that's will stay hidden so I can monitor what it is she is up to? Something that will save the text logs and pictures. Or activate her front facing camera. GPS... I want to make sure I have all the evidence I would need to confront her. This happened in the past as well and I didn't have enough proof. She played it off like I was the crazy one.
I've searched but figured some experts would point me in the right direction. Hoping to save my marrage before its too late.
Thanks.

Well for finding old picrures, theres diskdigger app. Uhm... Besides that, idk

I used dr phone and it took so long and it kept showing all the current pics and not just the deleted ones . wasn't until I used discdigger that I found what I was looking for. but being the free version it didn't search for much. and hard to view everything ion the little screen, and it requires me to have her phone for long periods of time.
I know there has to be something out there I can install once and get the info sent to my phone or pc.
since I only have small windows of time to have her phone(when shes sleeping) I practice on my phone. install what apps I wanty to use and try them so I know what it is im doing when I get the chance.
a keylogger would be a start but I want to know what texts are coming in as well.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but recently when my phone broke and I still had to text people; I went to the Verizon wireless website, under 'My Verizon' is a tab called 'Send a message', enter your wife's phone number followed by her account password, and then it should be empty if this is the first time opening this. From here you can send and receive messages. After your initial login, all messages will be stored. It shows deleted as well. Finally, if you do happen to send a text from this online, sent messages will not show on her phone. Beware as she will still receive the incoming texts.
-Hope this helped! Good luck with your searching

My note 3 is locked to a different carrier though so when I put my OPO sim card into it, it wont recieve any texts.
Is it possible to back up my whatsapp with out requiring reactivation? I use whatsapp a lot so it would be great if there was a solution.
I realise Titanium is a possible way to do it but my opo isnt rooted and im sending it off tomorrow.
Thanks!

Titanium Backup does it. I have my Whatsapp restored every time and it does not need verification.

Just copy the WhatsApp folder from your phone to the other phone.

Ultimate Backup Lite from Play Store... It's like Titanium but easier to use

That wont stop it from asking for verification though will it?

Titanium requires root.

It did for me.
