I have noticed this for problem since having stock droid. I've used apex jrummey and tranquility n stock. It seems my texts get hung in limbo. Both receiving and outgoing. It doesn't happen all the time but enough for me to do my recovery method everytime I send a text.
It just seems to sit in queue ready to be sent.
What I have to do is make a call, any call, vm, friend etc... then msgs are sent through and received. Seems to be happening more and more.
Anyone else have this problem and how they get a permanent fix.
Thanks in advance

Nobody? Hasn't done it in about a week but still annoying when it does happen.
Thanks

Did you remove the stock messaging app?
In the messaging app's settings, do you have auto retrieve turned on?
Or if you are restoring apps, might try going into settings/applications/ choose all & in messaging.apk clear data & cache (will erase txts) & even do the same for gmail (will not erase emails unless they are in pending/draft possibly, others will just reload when you open again).
Or sbf & then back to your rom of choice. Might be a bit of a pain, but could be worth it.
I think if it happened with the stock rom its either the phone or the service from Verizon? Try taking your phone in and see what they say

I use to have the problem in my area. I discovered it was poor service, and when I called out like to voicemail it would send and receive.
I just did the *228 and made sure the radios were up to date and haven't had the problem since.

Hey Robert,
Thanks for advice and to everyone else. Ill chalk that one up to old age on forgetting the *228. Did it and so far no problems. But time will tell. Thanks again

I am having trouble text messaging my mom because the phone is adding +1 to the beginning of her phone number. The text message never goes thru. When I send the text message by typing in the number it sends fine.the problem is only when I select the contact from list. The contact list does not have the +1 in it so I don't know where it is coming from

Yea, i actually sat on the phone with verizon tech support for 2+ hours while they debugged this issue, turns out for some reason the +1 breaks it.. they never gave me an explanation, only a fix. Take the +1 out of the contact and make sure its saved and synced, you also need to nuke your message history after making the change or new messages will still have the +1 in front of them.

I tried taking it out of the contact # and killed the message history but still not working

I have the same problem...I don't get why this phone was released with so many bugs....I'm about to go get an Incredible
I had the same issue and was waiting for someone else to have this problem too. Removing the +1 on your phone contacts won't sync it completely it seems so once google syncs on your phone again the +1 will return. So what I ended up having to do is going on gmail on my pc and deleting all the +1 contacts in there. That did the trick right away. Hope this helps

same thing happened to me (sending a text to AT&T) - had to remove the 1 from all my contacts via GMAIL.
Now fixed
Strange. I don't have any issues like this.
I did have the same issue as the op described, but I think the ota update fixed it or the clean rom posted in the development forum corrected the messaging app. It definitly has something to do with the messaging app since when I installed handcent sms all my messages worked without the +1 being added.

I had the same problem and fixed mine..here are the steps I took.
Log into Gmail on your computer, go through all your contacts and take out the +1 as well as the dashes 123-456-7890 to 1234567890 and save that. I then did a factory reset for my phone. Everything works great now.
I think when you have a GSM service they use the + symbol
I had this same problem. When I got my phone the text messaging was working just fine. Couple days later no one was getting my text. So I went down to the store and they did everything they could do and I finally figured out it was the +1 in the numbers.
I switched over from a G1 on T-Mobile, so GSM can use +1 but it seems Verizon or CDMA has a problem with it.
I went through all my contacts, got rid of the +1. Yet when I'd send a message through the default sms app the moment they replied back it would automatically add the +1 again. So the only solution I found was that I had to use a different SMS app. I went with Handcent.
Im more concerned why you have the country code in your contacts list anyway? Ever since I had my first phone years ago manuals said not to put the country code in your contacts list for domestic contacts. Ive never had a problem.

I had an sms issue I have been trying to resolve for weeks. Spent three hours with tech support troubleshooting, and finally determined something in the hardware. Took it in for a replacement. My g/f has the same phone, and no issues.
I wish verizon (or Samsung?) would fix this!

When traveling internationally, it's a royal PIA when your US & Canada contact records don't include the country code and you're trying to place a call to north america... When I go overseas, I use an unlocked GSM android phone, and I would like to load my US contacts via Google in a usable format (10 digit numbers aren't usable from abroad).
This is a Verizon-Samsung bug - removing the country code from all US contact records is a work-around (not a fix!). My previous Verizon phones (mostly old Windows mobile handsets) had no trouble sending texts to US mobiles using the international standard country code prefix.
I just loaded up the leaked froyo modem, kernel and rom (EB01, EB16 & superclean 2.6 voodoo respectively), and unfortunately I see this issue persists...
Can anyone tell me if any of the verizon Android handsets from HTC or motorola share this flaw?
Thanks!
Hey guys, I wanted to see if any fellow vibrant uses have been getting this.
This is the second time this has happened to me. Just out of no where I will launch my sms application (handcent) and the all of my texts are gone, like magic....
I have done alot of looking and found out that this is an old problem that is general for any android user. Wanted to see if anyone know the solution to what is causing this.

This just happened to me recently. I also use handcent. I dont know if this is the case for you, but I am a packrat, so I had a lot of messages.
I think the limit of SMS messages that can be stored on the phone is 5,000. The only thing that didnt make any sense is that not ALL of my messages were gone, I had 8 left from a recent conversation. I cant explain why they werent deleted...
We can start narrowing things down though. If you dont think you reached the phones limit, then maybe it is a Handcent bug, or a bug with TouchWiz.
it use to happen to me before when i had i believe was the mytouch slide at that time but i cant recall. and yes it happened when i had over 3000+ for my GF and like around 200 for other people! Now i usually just get to 600 or less and delete it and start over. I use the stock sms app btw and have no problems at all.
It happened to me too, not the first or second time it have always happened from the start. I don't use handcent, everything is untouched with no root.

Hmmm...a few people claim that this stopped after they uninstalled the antivirus app. However, I never used this app so it can't mean that. On top of that, many claim that this was due to 3rd party app. That wouldn't make any sence because if uninstalling different apps will fix it.
A few also mentioned that installing the sms back up also stopped the problem. It was also mentioned that handcent has an update coming that said they would fix it but that was almost a year ago. I couldn't find anything on the handcent website that fixed the issue. A lot of android users have the same issue as us on their forum. There are at least 10+ posts on this topic, non with a solution....

Have you removed the settings to delete old messages when limits are reached?
or have u edited those settings in the messaging app?
That's the first thing I checked
it's unchecked, no limits and no deleting if old text messages. Here's the thing, even if that was enabled, it would only delete after reaching the limit and keep it at that. What happened was that all the text messages just disappeared...

This used to happen to me on the G1 on occasion. I got around the issue by using the CyanogenMod Messaging application and setting the auto-delete limit to 200 messages per person, and using the free SMS Backup application to export all SMS messages to a label Gmail as they're received. I'm still using the same solution on the Vibrant, and I've had no problems since.
I didn't think that cyanogenmod is available for the samsung vibrant yet...or am i missing something?

The CyanogenMod 5 (Android 2.1) Messaging app can be installed over the Vibrant's Messaging app just fine. Download a CM5.0.8 ROM for the Nexus One and install the Messaging.APK found in \system\data. :]
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

What's up guys
I've been having issues with my stock message app. Instead of working properly it sends & receives messages in the wrong order. Its really bugging me cuz I have to look for a new message between a bunch of old ones. I've cleared: data, cache and force stop the message app but nada. Please help! !!
Thanks!!!

Is your Timezone and Clock set to the correct time, I had mine set to Indianapolis and I live in san Diego, so my text messages where random too.. so when i changed my timezone back to normal it cleared everything back to normal..
I have the same issue also and my clock and timezone are set fine. I think this issue was posted here a few times and it turns out I that its an issue with the stock messaging app. If you switch to handcent sms the problem should go away.
You could also try using a message/SMS app instead of the stock one.
I've tried both ChompSMS and Handscent and both are extremely customizable, fast and IMO offer better features then the stock application.
It seems to happen to me when three phone goes to roaming, if that helps at all.

Hello again...
I've been having this picture messaging problem for awhile now and it is beyond annoying at this point.
I'm running cm7.1, dark horse theme, handcent, launcher pro, and the usual root apps.
So far I have tried wiping everything (caches, data, etc), restoring a nandroid backup, reflashing cm, reinstalling handcent and messages both from backups and from fresh apks, deleting telephony.db, sending with and without wifi, changing apn, changing network, and every combination of system and app settings I could come up with. I have even tried in different places... Home, car, stores... Nothing has worked... the pictures won't send in either app (handcent or messages) it just hangs there with the little spinning send thing for days until I delete it.
I've done forum searches for help and that's where I got most of the things above that I have tried but nothing is working.
How the heck do I get back my ability to send pictures?
Oh and apparently I can receive them fine, at least I have gotten one recently, but none will send.
Please, please help.
Thanks!
Jen

Is data turned on?
And does data work for other applications?
MMS only works over data, not wifi or regular phone signal.
Do you have a firewall protecting your data use? That one gets me all the time. I only allow certain apps to access data, but every time I get a new app it takes me 10 minutes of wondering why it doesn't work to remember that I block data to apps as the default.
Son of a B...well, I feel stupid.
Yup... I use Droidwall. Didn't even think of it. Turned it off for handcent and messaging and boom...6 old pictures sent. LOL
Times that Thanks by a thousand...I am in your debt.

Dude, Droidwall is one of my favorite apps because it works so well. It's saved me countless amounts of data traffic I'm sure. I don't know what I'd do with out it. And I STILL forget it's there.
What's worse is that after I responded to your post, I downloaded a new app and just like I said I always do I spent 5 minutes fumbling with it to figure out why the app couldn't connect to the internet. It gets me literally every single time with a new app.
Grrrrr well that may not have been the only problem. :-( Was working fine after that, now tried to send one today and it won't send... Been trying all day... First thing I checked was the Droidwall and the data, but it is still set correctly. I wonder if some other app could be interfering?

Ever since I've my phone updated to the latest ROM, its been having this small issue with saying my text has not been sent. But when I click on it, my texts are clear of error. What is going on with that?
I'm not sure if this will work, but you could try it. Can you please clear the data and cache of the messaging app you use and reboot the device?

But deleting all my texts isn't what I want to do all the time or not at all. I'd like to keep my texts for however long I like to.But I tried that method that you suggested and it didn't work. So now what? It didn't start this until it upgraded to the latest rom.
Backup and factory reset.

What am I backing up to and with and resetting to factory is going to put back at stock rom.
I found out what it was. Since upgrading to the new kit kat, it no longer supports sms messaging but it now uses google hangouts as it's alternative messaging source. So you'd have to go into settings and designate which is the default messenger. It can't be both which is why it shows that it hasn't been read. Go and clear it out of hangouts and designate which is the default messenger, which is hangouts. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks for updating us man. Take care.
