Handcent returns 'message failed' on some people's phones when sending standard SMS (not pics etc). I just saw this issue tonight for the first time, and it ONLY happened when I was on a 3g tower. In my home town we don't have 3g, and I didn't have any problems with SMS at all.
Anybody else experiencing the issue on a 3g tower vs a non 3g tower?

I also was having this problem, but then found out that the messages were going through but that handcent was showing them as failed. I found that after sending quite a few messages that it seemed to fix itself after a while, and I no longer am having that problem.

Whats wrong with the phone settings when MMS messages stays in the outbox. MMS's were working earlier but not anymore.
SMS messages can be sent out without problems.
How to solve the problem?
Perhaps the send process is just timing out due to bad GPRS / 3G signal. Try restarting the phone or looking for better signal and then sending again. Worked for me.

The MMS problem has been active over two weeks now, so it's should not be a signal issue.
Get tired of this problem, so I reinstalled the device... Now MMS messages works without problems .
2.2/FroYo: I've had a few problems sending MMS with Handcent, where it won't send. If I use the stock Text Messaging app I get a brief message that says something like "National Carrier not Available". Turning the radio on and off via airplane mode seems to fix this.
Anyone else having similar issues or know how to fix?
I bought the D2 second day release and returned it bc the 3g was constantly connecting and disconnecting. I wonder if it is a 2.2 issue? We will see when I get my X with 2.1. I hope it doesn't have the same issue.
I haven't had this issue yet...just different issues with Handcent (time stamps off and a couple weird things with MMS)
I have the time stamp issue as well..
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
ok so i ALWAYS have a problem sending/reciving mms pictures via text thru handcent. I'm NEVER able to send/download mms pictures using my 3g. It only works via wifi. But if the mms started always with 3g, it HANGS and NEVER downloads. so im not even able to view it unless i start it with wifi. how do i fix this?!?1
that depends on the rom cuz ive had probs to with mms send and recieve i use handcent now no probs
When I had handcent on stock evo, I had the same prob. Even the stock message would screw up. But now that I'm rooted, the regular messaging app works like a charm.
Try go sms, out worked pretty well for me.
Sent using my fresh Warm 2.2.
I think this is a problem with android 2.2 and older, and I have seen it worse with sense ROMs. Sprint picture mail will only be delivered through 3g. If you try CM7, and are connected to WiFi you will see 3g turn on when sending or receiving a picture message. So connecting to WiFi will actually stop the download because it turns off mobile data. If you are having a problem while connected to 3g then it could be a ROM or signal problem.
If you Google "Sprint MMS wifi" you will see MMS only works on 3g, not wifi or even 4g.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm on tmobile..stock jellybean and stock texting app.
sometimes the MMS will go right away..sometimes they will sit for days..and then i send (or recieve) one from someone and suddenly the floodgates open all my 'stuck' MMS messages go.
i dont know this is a defect..or maybe something quirky about tmobile's network..but it seems to happen about once a week the messages get backed up like this.
never had a problem with SMS..i dont think.
Not sure why but i've had that too. The other night sending to my friend on T-Mobile it wouldn't go for hours then i resent it some 9hrs later and it worked fine. I don't think it's a N4 problem per say as i've had that with my SGS2 also. Maybe it's a ROM thing or just carrier issue but wish it wouldn't be so!
I got this experience with MMS:
- when on WiFi than impossible to send;
- only when on Data transfer MMS is send.
Try to manually set the data and not wifi and try.
Good luck.
MMS only send on mobile data connection, thus has been standard behaviour on every Android phone I've owned
makes sense. i'm on/near wifi for most of the day every day so i guess its not going to send until i'm in my car driving somewhere and regular data kicks on
Shouldn't matter as the phone wont use WIFI to send MMS if the APN has "mms" designation it it. You can watch the signal bars and see he up/down arrow in the cellular signal bars vs wifi when trying to send. At least, that's what it does on my phone yet it still just doesn't send once in a while.

did an experiment today; sent 3 MMS (while i'm hooked to WIFI) and 2 of them went..made a phone call before the 3rd one sent..and it got stuck in 'sending' mode.
2 hours later still stuck in 'sending'. i sent a text to that number ...didn't help.
I then sent another MMS..and when i did, it triggered both the new one and the 'stuck' one to go through.
so there you have it..not conclusive but it seems like maybe when its switching between voice and data it can get stuck..and the stock MMS messenging app doesn't seem to be smart enough to resend automatically. it seems like you have to 'jiggle the handle' to get it to go by sending another MMS.
it also seems sending ANY mms (not even to the stuck #) will release all the hung MMS for everyone.
Ok ever since a couple days ago i cant get mms to send if my wifi is turned on. It sends when the data is connected but not wifi? This has never happened before in the two years or so ive been using gosms. Im actually having issues with the stock and other messaging apps. Anybody have any ideas? Im running force 2.3 w newest kt kernel and everything was perfect two days ago. No settings changed either
I've been having similar issues. But for some reason, I can't receive mms over airwave and I can't send them at all but can receive them when I'm out in town.
Worse part about it is that Sprint can't fix it either. Blah.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I cannot receive mms while on wifi. Any ideas?
