[Q] Text messages sometimes do not send - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I am having problems sending text messages sometimes. 9/10 texts I send go through just fine but occasionally when I send a text it will just flash the sending logo on and on. I do not get an error message it just does not send. I thought it may be an issue with the ROM but I did a factory reset and tried three different ROMS and I am still having the same problem. I am currently running Cataclysm ROM with Franco Kernel R32. Any idea what my problem could be? Sprint is my carrier and my signal is fine when trying to send these messages. Is it possible it has something to do with my baseband/radio? I read somewhere that some people had problems with TWRP corrupting their baseband.
I'm stumped so any ideas would be appreciated. Right now when this happens I usually just restart the phone and it fixes it.

It's pretty hard to trouble shoot if it happens randomly. My guess is is carrier related and not the phone.

Hmmm, Ok maybe I will have to give sprint a call. So you don't think it could be that I have a corrupted radio or something? I was thinking about flashing one of the radios found in this thread but I was not sure which one I should flash.

Check your APN settings to make sure they match your carrier.

messed a bit with the apn settings, lost my data connection. wiping everything and flashing again, hoping it fixes it.
problem solved, seems that I didn't pay my bill so I can't call or text anymore.

Problem with MMS

I've had a lot of problems with receiving and sending MMS lately.
As always, T-Mobile has been no help and has said everything is working fine on their end.
When i try to send it just says "sending and never does anything" and i usually don't get people's pictures.
I've even tried to change ROMS and still have the same problem. I'm currently on the ICS AOSP one.
Any help?

Did you lose your imei when flashing? That is typically the only reason to not be able to send texts if you have service otherwise.
Are you sure that you have your data turned on? MMS won't send or receive without it

my normal texts work.
and yes my data is on. When i try to send it says "sending..." and never does anything (has said it for over 12 hours now) in the mean time ive done other things using data such as web browsing and using apps. So i know my data works.
Same problem here

Was having this problem last week, and now it's degraded to the point that my data is gone too. GVoice is working sporadically only. I still have SMS and calling though. Only 2G gives me any data.

Factory reset/data wipe. It sucks to have to set the phone back up but Im sure it will help.
Whenever that happens I send an mms to myself. Somebody from t mobile said that would fix it, maybe in the my touch 4g forum, had no idea why though. Something worth trying at any rate

I actually just did that yesterday. Didn't solve the problem. I also reflashed AOKP. That didn't work. I restored to a backup of Milestone 6-1. That didn't work. I reflashed KJ6 modem. That didn't work. I flashed KG4 modem. That also didn't work. So far the only thing that seems to give me some data is running it on 2G only. I think on Monday, I'm going in to get the phone exchanged for a new one, and I'll just do a fresh flash right out of the box to ICS from stock GB. (Of course, following all the directions.)

Using the heimdall one click to stock kj6 flash back to stock. Then use the antonx one click, it sounds like you just have dust bunnies that needs sweeping up.

I'd thought about doing that, I guess I'll try it right now, since I've got time. Would I be able to just install SGS Kernel Flasher and flash AntonX's kernel from that after using Heimdall to stock rooted?
EDIT: Sorry I'm kind of hijacking this thread, but I Heimdalled back to stock, but I'm still having the connectivity issues. I have full 4G signal, but data is crawling to the point where the connection times out before I can even load anything. When I set it to GSM only (EDGE), I can get data, but not the 4G speeds I'm paying for. Reverting to Plan A and getting it replaced on Monday. (I hear it's possible it's a SIM card problem too...) Thanks for the help though.

[Q] Messages won't send and calls don't go through...

I flashed SynergyROM and calls and messages were not going through, so I decided to flash CleanROM to see if that would resolve any problems. Unfortunately, it did not. The IMEI is the same as it is on the sticker on the phone, so my IMEI is working. I've also tried going into and out of airplane mode, still did not work. My ERI version is 5 still.

There seems to be a limited amount of people on this forum who actually know how to
diagnose and troubleshoot major phone functions (call, sms, Mms).
Really about to ditch the s3 myself, and re-setup my old Droidx.
So I can use the phone.... as an actual phone.
Try flashing the zip that deposited on your SD card when you flashed Synergy. There is a folder that's labeled Synergy. There are many threads in the forums with the answers to this problem. Including this forum.

Can receive but cannot send texts

This is getting kinda infuriating. Anytime I try to send a text, it bounces and won't send. If I text myself, it goes through. I've tried numerous things, reboots, turning off radio, text from pc.. anything I could think of. Calling is fine though. I can make a call or get a call from anyone. This is beyond me and pretty frustrating.
I just upgraded to the M8 and it should be here sometime next week. Did ATT goof when they ordered my new phone and do something to my existing? Should be something sim card related right? Idk, only a week but man this is ridiculous. I need my phone for work.
Any help would be awesome. Thanks guys.

I didn't think they'd help me because I'm on CM11.
Have you tried flashing another ROM to see if the problem persists or not across ROM changes?
Sent from my Evita
Did the SMS failure start right after flashing the ROM or other mod? Or did it just spontaneously start, and not seemingly related to any mods or settings you changed? If spontaneous, I would think its probably caused by AT&T borking up something on your account features or provisions when you did the upgrade. In which case, you are going to be able to fix it on your end.

Absolutely. Language is such a pesky thing.
A friend of mine bought my one x running 4.2.2 from coolrom i believe.
he can receive picture messages but gets a failed message when sending.

It's most likely a problem with your APN settings, triple check those.

Phone doesn't receive calls and texts sometime

I've had this issue for quite some time now, two months I think, I don't recall it happening before. Sometimes I have my phone on, good LTE signal, everything seems fine. Then when I make a call or send a text, or even without doing it, randomly I get a message from my carrier that someone has called, just as if my phone would be off. Or I get an SMS 5 hours later.
This is really frustrating. It persists on 38R and PA. Haven't tried latest CM nightlies yet. And yes, I've tried reflashing factory images and testing different modems. I'm using Franco kernel, haven't tested much without it but I doubt this might be the issue as no-one has reported anything like this.
Can this be my carrier's problem? Should I contact OnePlus support?

OnePlus support is about as effective as sandpaper toilet paper. I'd suggest getting a replacement (NEW) sim from you carrier if you haven't already.

I thought about doing that, guess I'll have to stop by their store soon.
