Hi, tried google but didn't find any answer. My gf have a s6 (regular) with rogers (carrier) she got the update VLU5CPI4 about a month ago. Since then, if she gets an e-mail with an attachment, the phone can't open it properly, a menu pop up asking for language , English and French not there, and if she reply to an e-mail, the one that received that reply get a mix of characters that don't make any sense. Tried reboot but stay the same.
Would try to prevent hard reset. Lot of pictures and even if I tell here to do a backup.... still in her to-do list, other stuff keep adding over it. If I download the firmware from Sammobile, will her phone get hard reset and all erased, or just like ota she keeps her apps and data still intact.
Thanks in advance

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!
Hello everyone,
So im gonna make this short and sweet.
Had a thunderbolt, it was plagued with the nasty " sending texts to the wrong contacts " issue.
Got verizon to send me a droid 3! WOO AWESOME...
first thing i did was re sync, re download a few apps. cool great awesome story, but i noticed as soon as it was activated any text i send to a verizon phone gives me the delivery report " failed " ( using GOSMS. ) but i can recieve them, works with AT&T though... so..
called verizon, did a hard reset, re activated re updated PRL and had them do some stuff on their end.. to no avail.
Finally, put the phone into safe mode. sent a text using the stock text messaging application..worked fine.
so i uninstall GOSMS re install.. same issue, So i tried handcent.. same issue.
Now, this is reflected in the stock app. so if i send a message in GOSMS, and it fails.. if i go to the stock app it reflects that and says it failed.. ive tried EVERY messaging application and they all do the same thing... at this point im confused and out of things to try.
anyone have any idea's?
thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
I searched the forums and haven't found anything that has any good answers or is fantastically relevant to me, so I'm making a new thread
Over the past couple of days I have not been able to send texts atall. I can receive them, I can receive and send calls aswell.
I get the error 'Unable to send message after multiple attempts', and I cannot text anyone atall.
I am using a HTC Sensation with Pyramid3D v8.2.1 XE Rom on Vodafone.
I have tried copying my APN settings to a new one and using them, I have tried re-connecting to Vodafone Contract using the Mobile network settings. I have tried deleting and re entering my contacts, and also I have tried the obvious turning off and on again.
I do not think I did anything related to the problem at the time to trigger it, only that I added a new contact after a friend sent me a text. After that point I could no longer text.
Hope that's enough info, any help is welcome!
Cheers,
Jack
It could be your rom. But have you tried to download any other sms apps from the market? Try them out, maybe they can solve the problem.

Well I have just found out that I can't even connect to the internet!
So now I can't even download a new app if I wanted.
It says I'm connected to the internet, and I have signal, but it just gives up as soon as I try to do anything online or send a text.
Just wanted to post saying what I had to do to solve the problem incase someone else has the same problem.
I had to completely reload my ROM and then load on all my my apps and data. After everything was reloaded I then had signal and internet back. I still have no idea why it happened!!
I had the same problem....
and here is what happened: my text message was too long, so it was automatically converted to a MMS. (this seems to be done when the message contains more then 765 characters!)
and not every phone is equipped to receive mms... That is when I got that error message!!
When I divided up my text into 2 parts... it worked normally again and send it !!

Samsung Kies can save a lot of data, music, contacts, sms for sure but you need to back them up before you factory reset not afterwards. It is not going to recover all the data you deleted.
Hey,
I noticed that messaging apps (for example whatsapp) crashes whenever I open a conversation that has attachments in it. Or if in the last 20/30 lines is no attachment (picture for.example) but I try to open the contact windows where it shows the name, status and media it crashes while loading the media. I tried clearing the cache of whatsapp and the system media app. Tried clearing cache and dalvik. Tried scanning the media with some apps. I deleted the newest pics i received because i thought maybe they were corrupted. Nothing helped. This occured after updating to 30O.
PS: I'm not going to wipe/reset my phone because I don't have the time to restore everything after such a reset.

Unfortunately for you the next step would be a factory reset. But if you're not willing to do that I guess you'll have to live with it. Or completely wipe the whatsapp data and start fresh with the app.

I already thought that something went wrong when I updated to 30O so I just flashed the full ROM over my 25R with 30O OTA and now everything seems to work fine. Thank you for your efforts

"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped."
I also had this problem. Kept getting this message when re-reading received messages, and, couldn't attach multimedia files. Found the answer from kspohn at an oneplus one forum. Thanks kspohn. It worked.
AT&T People without mms working here is the solution.
Call AT&T support. Go to wireless tech support when going through all the press # for (department name) mumbo jumbo.
Tell them you got a new phone and you need to activate mms on it by giving them IMEI number located on the packaging of your Oneplus One box particularly by the bar code sticker. This is like a SS for your specific phone
They will then ask you to power cycle the phone (turn it off for 10 sec) so call them originally with another phone.
They will then send a test mms to make sure it works. This only works for the global version of the phone so....... yea
Some At&T employees are aware of this phone... guy bro AT&T guy said it looked uber sweetles.
