Hi,
I have a Samsung Vibrant. As I'm in Australia, I was playing around trying to connect to another frequency via *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information. I set it to AUS and backed out (pretty sure that's all I did). Then I couldn't send any texts .... at all. Failed.
I switched back to Automatic frequency - no difference....
I have re-falshed the OS with Odin, both with the most recent 2.1 release and also with one that is supplied on the xda post "OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images" (I'm not allowed to post links) (I've still got this one installed right now). Both made absolutely no difference.
I deleted all user data... no difference.
Now I have a stock phone entirely, that will not send any text messages.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Andrew
I've noticed that SMSC is blank - I tried to set it to the right number: +61411990001, but it just returns 'update error'. So I tried 0411990001. It didn't 'do' anything, but didn't return an error. It disappeared when I backed out and came back in. it didn't fix the problem.
Is there a trick to updating the SMSC that I've missed? It seems likely to be the error??
there is also no information in 'Your Phone number', and I recall that the default way to access voicemail never worked because of 'no voicemail number on the sim card'...... does this all add up to my sim card not having the correct default information? Is there a way to fix this?
....help

Here are a few tips:
1 in mobile settings click apn and make sure there is a green circle on thee right of the name for your apn. If not just tap on the circle once and out should turn green.
2 in mobile settings, click automatic network discovery then try step 1 again
3 open mms app, press menu and go to settings. Make sure auto retrieve is checked.
Let me know if this works or not.

@crazy25000: Thanks heaps, that led me in the right direction to correct the texting issue. I had no apn at all - no options and had to add it manually. I'm not sure that it worked, but perhaps. I did get to the right settings menu to fix the smsc number though, which is great.
I still feel like my sim card is not quite right - there seems to be no default data for the carrier on the sim.
Immediate problem solved though. thanks again.
i have done the same thing while fiddling with my vibrant. sms wont send because the gateway # is blank . what i did was pop it in a friends iphone and type **5005*7672*61411990001#
(61411990001 is optus smsc # yours may be different)
then i put it back in my vibrant and viola!
altho i still cant send or recieve mms..

Glad to great it's slowly getting resolved. If you don't have an apn, click on automatic network discovery in mobile settings and it will automatically generate the correct apn for your carrier. Keep me posted because this it's relatively easy to resolve so don't stress

Hey
Im on Orange UK And updated to froyo using the reg hack.
But now i cannot send Picture messages,
Iv tried manually entering the APN details many many times but the pictures just sit on sending, iv tried another sim card and its exactly the same.
Anyone have any ideas??
Check your APN settings - for some reason mine disappeared! If there's nothing showing hit menu and restore default. Then reboot your device.

Thanks for the suggestion, but still no joy
Solution?
I fixed this using Samsung's very useful set up page. Allows you to get settings sent to your phone for free, on any UK network.
http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk/support/configure-phone-setting-mms.do?phone_model=GT-I9000
I did a search, but found no answers. I can receive text messages with pictures just fine, but if I try to send them, I get the "failed after several attempts" and the message just sits there with the envelope and clock icon in the upper right corner. I tried through the default messaging app, and through ChompSMS. Is anyone else having a problem sending pictures through text messages?
You need to find your carriers APN settings and enter them correctly in the phones settings:
Settings > Wireless & networks > mobile networks > Access Point Name

Thanks for replying. I'll try that. I did check the settings, and there is a default one there with no mms info. I checked my nexus one, and I don't have any apn settings at all, but mms works. Do you think if I delete the one that's there it would work by auto detecting setting? Maybe that's why my n1 works, and my DHD doesn't?
Delete ALL APN's on your DHD and then re-add them manually, then you can be 100% sure they're all correct, if it still doesn't work then contact your carrier and see what's going on.
SOLVED!
WOW! It took me six hours, but I figured it out. I tried so many things I can't even remember. Deleted all, add three at once, modified things. The end result was still no sending of MMS. My last try I reset everything back to default, and I was checking all fields, and noticed the "MMSC" field said "null". Well from looking over so many different configurations I noticed almost all of them showed the MMSC had "mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc", so out of desperation I changed "null" to that, and BOOM, it worked. I now have all things working like they should. Thanks for your help.
( glad you sorted it.

Hi guys
I have a problem getting MMS to work. I THINK the problem started when I changed my phone number using an app "My phone number". It was incorrectly set so I fixed it and that allowed me to see the correct portrait in my sms conversations but mms won't work.
Before anyone says change it back, I have no idea what the phone number was before I changed it! Any help would be appreciated.

No one got any idea? Tried everything I can think of.

Well your number can only be one of two ways. Normal, or with international dialing at the start.
It cannot change the actual number, else the phone couldn't take calls, or even register on the network.
Example, mine starts 07763, but my phone stores it (and indeed half my contacts are listed) as +447763 since +44 is the UK dialing code.
If I get a txt/call that identifies itself as starting 0xxx and its in my contacts as +44xxx then I don't see the caller id, just the number.
Ok well in that case it must be something else, perhaps it was just a coincidence. I have checked and double checked the APNs for TMobile UK and still struggling.
Oh well back to the drawing board.
when i install any non-sense android ( im on O2) it always sets up several, giffgaff, tesconet (both piggyback on o2 network) and 7 (yes, seven) o2 ones, two for data, two combined data/mms and three mms.
The main problem is that five of the o2 ones has APN type that includes mms, and add to that the details aren't correct in each one, and some are for the ifoney access points which doesnt work, and i never ever get a correctly working mms until i have deleted the oddball ones, and fix the password in the one mms one that i want. Data seems to work, but i suspect that is because the settings in teh first APN in the list are correct for data, but when it tries to do mms it always fails, because of the combined data/mms ones, i believe.
All in all its a real ball ache, and the main reason i never wipe the phone between rom version updates.
Well after about a week of trying i fixed it!
I have no idea why this works, but i installed a different messanger client (GO SMS) and mms worked straight away? I have noticed that other using cyanogenmod roms have had mms problems for no reason so perhaps there really is a bug somewhere.
Anyways, thanks for the help samsamuel. And anyone else who has a similar problem, try a different sms client.
alright so im on the echo rom Via the verizon pf2 firmware. Selected sprint during the setup process. I have voice and messaging working. i edited the build props.... still no data. any advice anyone?
google your service providers apn settings and enter them in and if that didnt work after you did what was said i would go back and redo everything and slow down to make sure i did it all in order etc, sometimes a second run through will make it work
i hve them. the keybord im using now is messed up. some letters nd shift key re out.. i will type them up on something else nd post themwen i get min.
My experience is actually kind of strange. When I rooted my phone I actually lost the ability to edit APN. It does not show up anywhere in my phone. I had to edit the build.prop to get it working right. My messaging works but not picture messages which sucks. So I use a messaging app called 8sms and it fixes all my APN issues.
Is anyone else having issues receiving SMS and MMS on Sprint network. I also purchased me phone from Sprint. I am currently on software NMJ32F. I have reset network settings, and factory reset. I have updated PRL and Profile. I have pulled the Sim and reseated it. I have done everything I can think of any suggestions? Phone calls work perfectly fine. Just receiving messages is not working. Data works fine.
I have Sprint but the device is an unlocked model. Haven't had any issues but I'd say you've done everything you can. Take it to a Sprint store and make a stink until they replace the device.

That is the weird thing. I have texted myself and it works. I guess i should have added that this is happening for me for all non sprint friends and family. if they have sprint everything is okay just not if they are with another carrier.
Sprint is having texting problems with this phone and has acknowledged it. They have identified the problem and testing a fix.
The problem identified is repeatedly receiving the same text and not receiving newer ones. If you aren't receiving anything at all, I'd get in touch with support. It could be a provisioning problem.

I've been having this problem, especially not receiving mms messages and duplicate sms messages. They periodically get stuck, and the only way to fix is to get on a chat with support and have them refresh my network connection with the phone off and send a text message. I use Google voice so I can see sms messages in the voice app but know if something is wrong if I don't get a message in the messaging app.

I updated my APN and preferred network and everything is working fine since. No more repeated/delayed sms or hanging mms.

Go to phone settings>mobile network>APN settings then pick the one (or any) that you want. Open it up then tap on any name fields that you want to edit, change it as you wish. After you edited all the name fields tap on the 3 dot at the top right corner then choose save, and exit out. Make sure you check/select the APN you just edited.

I'm with Sprint too and my settings may or may not working for you because of the location differences but you can try... You never know!
