Hi,
Have a Samsung Galaxy Core. As of this morning, any text messages I try to send just disappear from view as soon as I hit send. The recipients do appear to receive them (I tested on a coworker), however there is no record of them going through on my end in the text conversation. Very frustrating as I'm not sure if they're going through all the time and there is no record of them. They literally just disappear as soon as I hit send. Spoke to my provider (Telus) who advised to download something called Samsung Kies, but the software doesn't work (can't connect to my phone). Can also no longer access the Play Store.
Has anyone had this problem and successfully managed to fix it?
Thanks!

Hi all...
I was wondering if people more experienced could help me with a strange problem.
I can't seem to send or receive sms'es. When I send an sms, nothing happens, and the message just sits there in the "Outbox".
When I send an sms to myself (from another phone), the phone WAKES UP, but no message shows up. So obviously the phone is receiving the message but it's not showing up? Maybe it's being blocked somewhere?
I've checked my settings, sms is set to send via GSM and the service center number is correct.
Also to confirm - I've tried hard-reset and the phone received sms'es fine.
But as soon as I reload my backup, it no longer receives/shows the sms'es being received. So something is block the sms from showing up. What program/setting would it be?
After installing slick, palringo, taptapsms, incoming sms not stored
I noticed the day after installing IM client, named slick, palringo and opening tapsms, i cant see my incoming sms after it comes..

I used WM 6.1 on my XDA IIs
Thanks.
I am a life-long BlackBerry user, but I recently switched carriers and thought I'd like to give Windows a shot now. I bought a Touch Pro 2 just to start, and I can not get the darn thing to send an SMS. I have no problems recieving SMS, I can send both picture and video messages just fine, I can even reply to SMS, but can not initiate an SMS at all. When I go into the application, type my message, hit 'send' the send key does light up, but does not even attempt to send- the curser in the message just keeps blinking and nothing happens. I tried installing a 3rd party SMS app, but when I try to send though it I get a 'check your network availability' error. I sat on the phone with US Cellular for 4.5 hour while they tried everything from restting the device to restting my settings, and could not resolve the issue. I have tried in portrait veiw, landscape view, everything. It is very frustrating, because I need to be able to send messages asap. I have searched everything, from hotkey apps to SMS apps and can't find anything anywhere that does not require me to use the native 'send' button. If anyone could offer any advice, it would be so much appreciated!
(Meant to post this in the Touch Pro 2 section)...
Nevermind...never occured to me to remove the SIM card. Problem resolved.
Hello, I had the gs3 for about a week now and had no problems until today. Today my friend had asked me why I haven't text her back and I had told her that I haven't gotten any text message from her. She then had shown me her phone and it had shown that she had text me but it didn't show on my phone so I tried to see if she can receive my texts and she did so I guess the only problem is me not being able to receive text.
Has anyone had this problem before? I cant search the forums because I don't have 10 posts yet.
This has happened twice now. The first time I thought it was a fluke, now a second time in two days I am getting concerned. I am using Google Messenger for SMS/MMS. The problem is that somebody sends me a text message and I reply to their message. My reply goes to a completely different person and the original sender never receives my reply. These are not group messages, just a single SMS.
Anybody else having this issue? I will have to switch back to my Nexus 6 if this keeps happening.
Known bug. Use Hangouts for SMS until it's fixed.
I got a text from amazon that my packaged was shipped at it showed coming from my brother. I too am using messenger. I don't like hangouts...
Yep same here, it's broken. I would say use Textra for a similar feel to messenger. Hangouts is broken too, but in a different way. It will send photos sideways if you use the paper clip in a message thread. If you use the share function in gallery it will send it fine.
I have been using Google Messenger since it came out on two other devices and have never experienced this issue until using it on the S6. I have found if I clear the app data for Messenger messages show up from the correct sender temporarily. WTF?
I came here to post something similar. I set up my dad's S6 the other day, and today he told me that if he goes into the Contacts app, selects a contact, and hits the text icon, it picks the wrong contact to send to. I tried this on numerous contacts, and it happens on all of them. If he adds them manually to a message through the Messenger app, this doesn't happen. Bizarre bug. Any ideas?
Happened again yesterday. A coworker sent me a text and it showed up from a completely different person. Guess I have to back to hangouts for now ugh...
Recurring Problem
I highly doubt the problem will be fixed soon. This bug has been blatant in all Samsung products I have had since 2007; however, it happens somewhat seldom and slightly random and the only idea I have for reproduction is:
Receive a message from person A
Read message from person A
Receive message from person B.
Open message from person B while still in the thread with person A's SMS.
reply to person B.
Watch as person A reads your reply to person B and person B never gets anything.
I'm not sure if this always reproduces it, but when I saw this happen AGAIN with my new S6 I was instantly reminded of my past with Samsung products - even prior to Android.
Same Issue--- Almost 2018 Now
I use a fully updated LG RIsio (low grade phone I know), and and the latest version of FB Messenger app for SMS. Several times in the past few months I have constructed a text for a recipient, with the intended recipients name on display as a write, hit send, and suddenly the completed text is sent to a seemingly random contact in my phone, and the deed is done.
This is insane. How do I stop this. I am gripped with the fear of something incriminating going to a family member or a coworker or manager. Why am I not hearing more about this in 2017? Most of the posts on it are from 2010. Did it never get fixed? Did it come back?
Please advise. This is the kind of oversight that can potentially ruin lives and merit a class action lawsuit.
Hi
Last couple of weeks I've started having problems sending texts via google assistant. When I send a message using google assistant it sends via watch and fails. Tbf, not checked sim credit in watch so tht may be the problem there.
How do I send from phone instead of my watch? If I go into messages on watch then I can send the text that way from my phone instead of watch. I have android messages on both watch and phone, have tried making it my default app on phone, but problem persists. If someone texts me and i reply using GA, then it works through phone, not watch.
What am I missing?
