Sms not being sent

I installed Go SMS because i love the features especially the pop notification. Using the app, I've come to realize that text messages are not being sent. It just stays there and never sends. I looked at HTC's messaging app and the text also displays there are being sent but never sends.
Has anyone else had a problem sending texts with GoSMS?
I uninstalled Go SMS and using just the default to see if Go SMS was the one causing the issue

maybe I am the only one.

I've had this issue as well. Sometimes it will just say text not sent and never send.
Other times I will get an error saying text not sent but it did indeed send so I end up sending two of the same.

Best thing you can do with this is pull the SIM card and re-insert it. This problem, if existing, affects more than just people who use GoSMS as GoSMS is just a skinned texting surrogate. Sure, it sends and receives texts, but it does so using the frameworks of the main messaging app on your device. I've encountered this problem with the main messaging app, and I just pull the SIM or put it in airplane mode for a few seconds then take it off and it's fixed it every time.
Hope this helps.

Does the issue go away after doing that or does it come back? Should I turn off the phone when I remove the sim or should I do it while it is on?
If a text doesn't send for me I can still send one right after and that one sends fine.

so for the past 2 days i used HTC's messaging app and everything always sent. just now i redownloaded GO SMS and the second text i sent, it did not send so it must be something else

try handcent
Go msg might have bugs on ICS

it's an uglier app but I did download it. So far so good

For what it's worth, gosms works fine for me other than the recipient used to get duplicate messages. I froze the stock messaging app and changed gosms settings to control text delivery and it's been all good so far. It's not an ics compatibility issue, it's sense. Hope that helps

Go into settings and press the advanced tab. Scroll all the way to the bottom for important tips. Then check the box for stock messaging uninstalled

I will keep this in mind. I haven't rooted my phone so I can't freeze the message app.

So i have found out what is causing my text not to send. If I reply to a text using the pop notification while I am in another app like Google Chrome or draw something, the text does not send. When I go to go sms, I can see the green arrow showing that it is sending but it never does. The only times I can successfully 100% of the time send a text from the pop up notification is if I am on the home screen instead of within another app. Can anyone else test this for me to see if I am the only one with this issue?

I had the exact same problem with duplicate messages. the freeze worked for me. i had no more issues with messages being sent but i no longer have root access so i can't confirm if that would have changed over time. I have no issues right now.

So even if you reply from the pop up notification while within another app, your text message sends?
Since there is no way to root the AT&T HOX without it being discovered by htc/at&t, I haven't rooted and therefore can't freeze the messaging app

Not sure if you have solved your problem yet, but ChompSMS has worked well for me since the latest update to cater to some of HTC One X's quirks.

I had completely forgotten about chomp. Thanks for reminding me. I started using it and while I still get messages not sending if I reply to a text from the pop up notification, it doesn't do it nearly as much as go sms. With go sms, the message not sending would happen one after another but not with chomp. And even though I don't like the sound, I've set chomp to make a sound after a successful sent message so at least I can tell if my message has sent without having to open the app.
Thanks again for mentioning chomp

I'm having the same issue with texts not sending from the pop up window. It doesn't happen all the time but enough that it's annoying and I always go to the app to make sure it sent, which kind of defeats the purpose of the pop up. I haven't noticed whether it was when I'm in another app or not. However, it's not that it just doesn't send, it's totally lost. There will be no record of it. Other times messages seem to just get stuck sending and I have to click edit and resend in order to get them to go through.
GO SMS has also become very laggy. I can't really type when it's sending or receiving a message. If I'm typing during this time, it's delayed in showing what I've typed and auto-correct and word suggestion don't work. Also, when I leave a conversation and go back to the main screen, it takes several seconds to update the threads. Long enough that I can click on one but then it takes me to the wrong one because it's updated. I thought maybe I just have too many messages. I've set it to limit messages to 700 per thread. Anyone else experiencing these issues? I think I'll try Chomp again until these issues are fixed.

Handcent Shows Sending Double Text (doesn't actually send double though)

I have an odd problem. I'm using Handcent as the default SMS app instead of Hangouts. When I send a text, it shows double text in the app, but it doesn't actually send out double. The other side only gets 1 text which is cool. however, it is pretty annoying and takes up a lot of screenspace in the app.
When using hangouts to send text, it doesnt show double. Handcent recently updated it's app to support kitkat. Anyone else have isssues like this using third party SMS app on the N5?

No issues at all using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47147720&postcount=23

Confirmed, also having this issue with Handcent. Can't lose Handcent without losing popup message notifications, so I'll deal for now

Seconded, also looks like two texts are being sent in handcent

Solution
Hi,
I had this problem also but think I figured it out! Go to Settings>> Apps>>All Apps >> Google Hangouts and Disable it. Then restart your phone. Things are working well on my Nexus 5 now when I send and only one message is shown in Handcent.

I had the same issue, and I corrected it by uninstalling the Handcent Emoji addon... If you have that installed, it tends to not play nice.
HTH!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I tried both suggestions, disabling Hangouts and uninstalling the emoji plugin (rebooting after each), and neither corrected the issue. Hopefully Handcent fixes the problem in an update soon!

I removed handcent and then reinstalled it and set it as default sms app before opening it the other day which resolved the issue for maybe 2 days then it just started showing double texts again

I had the issue, I removed it for now giving Hangouts a try.
I like the idea of 1 application to handle the functionality.

GO SMS also had this but it stopped out of no where..

I just removed Handcent again and once again reinstalled it and made it the default sms app in settings before opening up Handcent and I'm back to showing one sent text again

Having the same issue, usually a reboot solves it for a minute or five. sent email to developer

i posted a fix one post up although lets hope they can sort it with just an install

not sure if that's a permanent fix. It's not working for me or any of the other methods people been posting about. I hope handcent can fix it soon.

Yes, i have also this problem. did anyone fixed this ?

I am having the same issue and I have made a little discovery: the thing only happen (at least for me) when the mobile data are activated. Yesterday I was turning crazy with Hangout that doesn't rung, handcent that made me send double sms and go sms that shows the popup window.
So I installed Go sms and deleted the other two apps: today when I was using my phone with mobile data enabled, it sent two sms (the other person received only one). Than turned off data, enabled Wifi and the issue stopped. It's quite weird

It's all happening to my handcent after upgraded to 4.4 I am getting double text out but not actually sending double to the receiver

I also emailed the developer through the play store about a week ago... as yet, no reply

I had this issue. Could never get it fixed. So instead I use 88sms. It took a bit to get used to it cause I've had handcent since the G1 but 88 has a pop up too and it doesn't seem to lag at all like Handcent seemed to do sometimes.

No new text notification while screen is on and in conversation

I have had the M8 since release and I've always had the issue of no new notification, if I receive a text while the screen is on and I'm still in the current conversation. Example: I'll text someone back, put the phone down without turning the screen off but don't check it unless I hear the notification go off. I'll get a new text but I won't receive a notification (vibrate, ringer or LED).
I've tried 8SMS and Hangouts and the issue is still there. I've tried to search for any solutions but nothing has pointed me to a similar thread (could be keywords I'm using). For now, I try to hit the home button when I'm finished sending my text in hopes I would get the notification.
Can somebody point me to a fix or suggest a fix? I'm rooted and s-off'd but running stock ROM.

By any chance. Do you use sms backup and restore? I know that when I use it, that specific app forces me to set the restore app as my default sms app and I don't get any text notifications.

I used it originally to transfer texts over but I use SMS Backup+ daily to auto back to my Gmail account.
I get notifications but if I receive texts after I text someone without hitting the home button, I don't receive a notification.

Hangouts reply window size

I've just bought a Nexus 5 and when I type text messages with hangouts I can only see the last 4 lines of the message.
I'm in the habit of sending long texts - 5-6 texts long - with my previous phone, HTC One S, using their stock messaging app the message would scroll up the screen so I could see it all until it went off the top of the screen
How can I replicate that with Hangouts on my Nexus, or at least resize the reply window so that I can see more than 4 lines?
Cheers

There's one way I know that can solve your problem.
You need to have your phone rooted and Xposed installed.
Then there's a mod called "SMS Xposed" that gives you the option "unlimited textbox".
Which means "Removes the 3-lines height limit for the SMS typing box".
Hope this helps

Thanks. For the moments I'm not rooted so I've installed GO SMS Pro which offers what they call 'big edit'

When I use SMS Xposed I stop getting notified of messages. Hangouts and SMS.

email app work around?

Does anyone know a workaround for using the stock email app. I absolutely hate using it but I can't get the correct notifications and things to work on my watch if I don't. I was using Aquamail on my phone but it doesn't really work on the watch very well. This thing need root! My Huawei is fun but I do like the S3 better.

I use Nine Outlook for Android, it plays very well with both Tizen and Android Wear. I don't create emails from my watch but when I get an email that comes in on Nine I can delete/mark as read/flag for follow up/show on phone/clear/reply/reply all. I mostly either mark as read or delete the emails. I occasionally respond.
It works great. If you are looking to create an email you can't do it with Nine on the watch.

I use my mail app, which has all my email account in one app.
To see the notifications I use an app called notification wear.
Once installed you get all the notifications for email, whatsapp, facebook and so on. It also stores your recieves messages so you reply to them. I like the stock notification where once you have opened it, it's gone.

What isn't explained too well is how to delete a message.
So I'll try to explain.
For example, if you receive a whatsapp message. You swipe left once to read, you can then scroll up and down.
Swipe left twice to reply, you can rely by typing or voice.
To delete that message. Go back to 1st screen of the message and swipe right.
When you receive a message, it stores the sender. So you can reply at any time.
Just one major drawback. When you turn off the watch, you loose all contacts that messaged you. So you need to wait till they send again and then it is stored until your restart your watch.

I downloaded and installed it yesterday on my S3 Frontier. I had high hopes as I've been looking for a way to display notifications from my default mail app on my Samsung phone - which is Aquamail - and the problem is that sometimes new email notifications come up on the watch and other times they don't - there's just no consistency. But frankly this Notifications Wear app is awful.
Firstly, it doesn't actually integrate with the native notifications interface on the S3 watch (which is found by turning bezel anti-clockwise from home screen) but instead the notifications come in via its own app on the Gear, so you have to run that. An then the app interface itself is awful. Looks like it was designed by a 2 year old. The first line or two of the notification displays in a tiny letterbox style space. And it's also not intuitiave at all how to read them fully. I kept accidentally deleting notifications completely by swiping right after tapping on the notifications. The app developer also doesn't seem to have even settled on the name of his app. The app logo calls it "Notifications Wear Style" but the app title is "Notifications Style Gear S2/S3". On your watch it displays app name as "NWS S2". And you have to install the separate app on your phone - which is not of course a problem in ittself - it's just that again the app is hideous. I can honestly say this is the most amateur looking and poorly designed app I've EVER seen!

I don't have such a problem with it. Yes it does not interact with the native notification but I turn it off and just accept this app. As long as you receive the notification it does not matter if it's the native app or not.
As you I made the mistake of swiping right and deleting everything but once I realised what I was doing I easily adapted. I can use the bezel instead of swiping to see the message, reply or delete.
Correct the first screen is a small window of the message, turn the bezel or swipe to the left for the full message and you can scroll up and down to read it all.
There is an option to change the font size if it's too big or small.
It could do with better instructions, once you get the hang of it, it's easy.
Receive message notification :
Swipe left once to read, twice to reply.
Delete is swipe right.
I use MY MAIL for my emails. I have Hotmail, Gmail and yahoo,i receive all of them.
As for the appearance, yes it could be much better, but is there another app that can do better than this?

Maye there is not a better app available, but I am trying to use this on on a phone which costs 350 - 400 dollars depending where you buy it, so I don't want an app on the phone that looks like it was designed by a two year old. Sorry but it's just awful.

For me, functionality comes before appearance and its not that bad.
When I receive a whatsapp message, the background is of the photo from the sender.
When I receive an email it's just plain black.
The issue I have is when you turn your watch off and you loose all messages and contacts. Messages I don't mind loosing so much as they are still stored on the phone. But I'd like to have my contacts stored on the watch.
Until someone comes up with a better alternative then I'm happy using this one.
