I have two (work & personal) Blu G90 Pro which I believe are fantastic values bought on Amazon for <USD 200. My SP is AT&T and these are Volte compatible but not white listed so something will have to give. My problem is after recently applying security update BLU_G0370WW_V10. 0.04.05_GENERIC on ONE of them, ordinary Google SMS messages are "Not Sent". Sending MMS, sending "Chat", and receiving all messages work fine. All online fixes short of factory reset tried - no luck. All APN and mobile network *#*#4636#*#* settings same on both phones. Tried different SMS app - same symptoms. Swapped SIM/SD cards and problem follows phone. Wondering/warning if anyone experienced this and found a fix?

Follow up to initial post. As noted, the second phone, for which the referenced update had not yet been run, has had no problems with SMS - or anything else. (Still an undervalued, highly recommended phone). Today the update ran on this second phone and the exact same problem immediately manifested - it cannot send plain SMS text. No problems receiving and no problems sending MMS texts.
I tried several times to post this issue on the Blu support site and after filling out the form (including color of phone which is Purple Haze and not in the dropdown) it would not accept my post with no form errors. So I am posting here.

I am very new to Android coming from Palm Pre and I purchased Droid Pro and activated it with Page Plus everything seems to work fine except I can't receive or can't send any plain text messages any kind. I haven't been able to receive or send any ever since I got this activated. I have tried everything I could.
I did activation multiple times and still no luck! I am very frustrated at this point and don't know what to do. I really love this phone and it works great including web data, calls but the stupid text messages will not work at all.
As soon as I send a text message I get an instant error message saying text message not sent and it does that for every message. This is just driving me insane since I text more than I talk.
I am getting close to my last resort is the reset this phone to factory which I don't know how to do. My brother uses Droid 2 Global and Fascinate on Page Plus Wireless with no problems. I tried calling multiple sources and no one is willing to help me.
Please help me if you can.
Anybody here know what I can do? I am so frustrated. I know I am missing text messages right now. I hate to go back to Palm... and this is the only Android phone from Verizon that I like so far. I love the keyboard but without being able to send or receive text messages this thing would be worthless for me. I text more than I talk.
This are just random guesses, but i thought i would try:
- wrong sms format (UTF-8?)
- wrong number/address for sms central in settings?
Fixed!!!
After days of fighting with it I got it figured out by process of elimination. For Page Plus Wireless under "Wireless & Network Settings" > "Mobile Networks" > "Network Mode" - needs to be set to "GLOBAL" and not "CDMA" like I thought and after this all my text messages are working properly.
This may be useful to someone later on.
Now if I can get rid of all the bloatware that this Droid Pro came with without rooting I would be very excited. I love this phone so far even though I am missing the true multi-tasking but I am sure I will get used to. I am already getting used to Android and it's only been a few days
Root it and change build.prop
change in system/build.prop
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0
This will solve sms problems

Like the title says.
BASIC INFO
Here's some basic info. I live in NYC, have t-mobile, have experienced the issue with with my Moto X (T-mobile - aka GSM unlocked) and in the past T-mobile HTC One. both running 4.4 and 4.4.2. Using the stock apps, no third party stuff.
THE ISSUE
My MMS have been hit or missed. They all show as sent on my Moto X but don't always get received (I confirm with the people I'm sending to & check "view details")
This has been going on for like 2 months. 2 days ago, I've been getting SMS really late. for example, receiving SMS 2 days later (I check the timestamps)
TROUBLESHOOTING
So far i've done EVERYTHING lol:
factory reset
3 moto x warranty exchanges
Tried using a T-mobile HTC One
reset app caches
tried not installing any (just factory apps and settings as a controlled variable)
tried different locations (with without WiFi)
sent MMS with images below 1mb limit and even smaller just to be safe
Using new SIM cards with EACH phone
I have concluded that T-mobile has network issues they refuse to acknowledge and I plan on leaving them for a better carrier, cheaper isn't better in T-mobile's case.
Any wanna offer some wisdom, Could someone help a brother out? Thanks in advance!
Motorola (along with my own testing) has confirmed that the stock messaging app has bugs for sending receiving MMS/SMS
I am having a smiliar issue with sms and mms. I am working on a S4 clone (w/ 3G only). It use to be able to send sms to other phones. Recently, it can only send to T-Mobile carriers only. I can receive sms, mms from any other carriers. Sometimes, I can rarely send sms and mms to other carriers. Maybe once in every 20 times. Most of the time, it says "Sending..." and then auto notification saying "not send". Sometimes, the auto notification are instant (pops up right after I hit send button). I am using the stock msg app. any idea? I triple checked my APN and it goes online fine.
Hello,
I have recently purchased a T699 from the states as I like having a qwerty keyboard.
I have rooted the stock rom & removed some of the T mobile bloatware & samsung crap (I am on Orange in the UK)
One problem is I can receive MMS picture messages, but not send them.
I receive a "server response error", followed by "MMS not supported by network"
Orange have advised it is due to the sending frequency failing slightly outside of their parameters, apparently you can receive mms with a tolerance of +/- 5 but only send with a tolerance of +/- 2, i assume Mhz ?
They checked the APN settings which were all fine (which made sense as I can receive them, although they display as a slide show, but still display) , but were perplexed by the error messages when sending, hence the above somewhat random explanation above.
They then advised I go to xda developers for an answer !
Any advice / solutions, all would be welcome & appreciated
Edit: Weirdly I just asked the wife to send me a mms and I could send that back. I still cannot send a new one though !!
Wife has an unrooted VZW Droid Mini XT1030. running JB (not sure which version, will check). KitKat 4.4.4
recently have been having intermittent texts not delivered. no error message on sending. they just never get there. in a back and forth conversation 1 or 2 messages out of 10 might not arrive. Happens for multiple recipients on different carriers. MMS is fine. Using default Android messaging app.
all messages show up on VZW's online message log (website login from PC, so the message hits their network somehow.) Posted support request via VZW forums. so far we've verified that a reboot doesn't fix it.
Only thing I notice that seems odd is under message details, the last line for all sent text messages is : "Cause Code: Addr.Vcnt., 0"
Googling brings up a number of old threads back in the Android Gingerbread days, people were often getting that as an error message when messages wouldn't deliver. Also, noticed a number of threads with intermittent delivery issues, similar to mine, and they were almost all Motorola devices of one flavor or another.
Anyone know what that message actually means? I've seen several quite contradictory explanations. Think it's relevant? A red herring? At this point I'm not even sure the problem is the phone vs. something with VZW. Could something on my phone be intermittently messing up delivery?
Second, recommend troubleshooting? If it's the phone, I figure a factory reset's in order at some point. If that doesn't help, other suggestions? Assuming the mini version is right, root/reflash? If it's not the phone... any suggestions for resolving? I was going to port to a VZW MVNO, but if it's a network issue, decent support goes away at that point...
EDIT: correction, running KitKat 4.4.4
Could it be a sim issue? Pull the sim card out and put it back in.
Sent from my XT1254
Will try.
Also, on KitKat not JB
Hi,
I purchased a refurbished Note 10 Plus 5G. Been happy with it so far. But had some issues receiving text messages.
My phone does not have an option to enter a service centre number. I spent a while with O2 helping me trouble shoot. After trying everything else I could find online. It seems like in settings>more settings within the custom messages app that there is no option for this. Also th shortcut to get the number (*#*#4636#*#*) does not work either.
Interestingly when I put my sim in an old phone the old texts which were not received came straight through on my old mobile. Since then I seem to be able to receive some messages (but concerned the issue could return and the phone will not be able to be refunded). Particularly as the menu system online to enter the text service number is still not available.
Is my phone faulty? Or is this others have experienced.
Thanks.

I am able to send text messages, and make and receive calls with no issues.
I also do not have the option to request read receipts (I don't need this, but may be relevant to the issue).
