I always use handcent. I noticed recently that it took a long time to send mms. I assumed it was the rom I was using so flashed a different one. Today Im running my girls droid and my droid 2 side by side sending the exact same pic to our own phones. Hers sent in as little as 10 seconds and mine took a minute or longer. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it was the same. I tried sending with stock messaging and it sent in the same time as hers. Tried chompsms and it was fast also. I love handcent but it takes way to long to send mms. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how do I fix?
Hey there xda people.
Couple days ago (the 15th) I rooted and loaded up CM7 nightly build for that day. Been great so far, but literally 10 minutes ago (3:11AM eastern time) my phone just stopped sending texts. No matter what I do, texts simply won't work to any number. Did a reboot, power off/pull battery, nothing's working.
Anybody know what the hell went wrong? I can't call my carrier at 3AM and I'm switching over to night shift....any help would be nice.
Edit: It says that it can send MMS but my friend never got it. I can't receive text or make calls. Full signal strength is reported. Data works absolutely fine.
To be honest it sounds like a carrier problem.

Sounds like the same issue I had when I attempted Sprint+Google Voice integration. Have you tried that recently?
Your smsc number was accidentally deleted?
Phew, looks like it was a carrier issue. Apparently SMS servers got backed up for a couple hours.
Crisis averted. I was freaking out - thought it was my rooting/modding that did it
I'm on AT&T running AOSPA 6.0.3. I've had an MMS group chat with 3 co-workers (4 including myself) going for several months with no issue until a few days ago. I know this dude has a Samsung/Android phone of some sort and is on Verizon. I can receive images from him, but not text. I have tried changing/resetting my APN but it doesn't seem to do anything. The other 2 people in the group receive his and my messages with no issue. Again, it's just MMS text I can't receive from one particular contact. We can SMS each other no problem. I thought maybe there could be some tower issues and it'd fix itself in a day or so, but now it's been nearly a week. This is by far the weirdest issue I've ever encountered.
I have this same issue. Did you ever figure out a solution?
I can send/receive texts/MMS (group texts and pictures) from everyone okay besides my sister who has a Samsung galaxy s6 edge. We are both on AT&T. The messenger app says there is a text waiting to download but won't let me download it. Any ideas? Maybe an issue with the Samsung phones?
Try to send one MMS in Safe mode. Once it sends it, then reboot the cell. It should work. My wife has a Nexus 6 and this happen for no apparent reason and this fixed it. Hope it helps.
Sorry, life got busy and can't say I really ever figured it out. The safe mode thing sounds interesting. I finally flashed a Nougat ROM a few days ago and so far everything seems to be back to normal. Maybe my phone just needed a reset?

My s8 has not been receiving sms messages since Friday and it's quite annoying. I've tried resetting network settings , removing sim card I've even done a factory reset still no luck. Anyone else having this issue ?
Mine started doing this a few weeks ago as well?? Not really sure how long it's been going on now, could have been going on for months for all I know?
I've tried:
Yaata
Textra
Chomp
Pulse
and the stock messenger...
It *mainly* seems to be from iPhone users, but I get them fine from my wife and some friends that use iPhones.......So, it's not all the time?
It can be in the same thread too? I'll have some replies, but then they just stop..... I'll call them up and ask if they got my text, and they'll send me a screen shot (to my email) that shows they've been replying?
Any fix? On the latest At&t version.
I'm hoping somebody has experienced this before and found a fix and can help me out...
All day I've been struggling to send SMS messages... I'm on 11.0.1.1, magisk rooted, with RICE installed. Everything was working great but today when i woke up, i was unable to send SMS messages...
I'm receiving them, but sometimes they are delayed and i get a few at a time with nothing coming in again for a short time after that, but i've made no changes to my phone in the last 2 days. I've rebooted a few times between then and now (twice yesterday, just because), so i cant really understand why i would just randomly be unable to send text messages or why they are received in bursts like this?
I've gone in and reset my "Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth" settings from within the reset options, and this appears to fix the issue, but only for a minute or so and suddenly they stop sending again... I thought maybe its the tower, so i used my daughters phone to text my wife and that worked perfectly fine. Immediately before and after, mine wouldnt send.
Any ideas, links, or guidance that might help me figure this out?
Since there's been some updates and no responses to my thread, i wanted to revisit this and see if i'm still the only one on earth with this issue.
The issue seemed to have completely gone away on its own, no idea why or how... But a couple weeks ago i decided to install the update to 11.0.2.2 on my IN11AA. Ever since, my phone will randomly stop receiving SMS messages completely. I can still send, just cant receive. The only way to fix this is to reboot.
Anyone else with this issue? Anyone find a reason for this? A fix perhaps?

Seeming this issue doesn't seem to be widespread, could be a carrier side issue?
It's a shame we don't have dual boot capabilities because you could have switched to stock and checked.
Also try a secondary SIM from maybe someone in your household and send using that SIM and see what happens.
I know there are delays after rebooting, I do a lot of magisk module work and every reboot try sending notifications using SMS or some other methods and I get around 3 mins no send or receive but not at the length you do.

I just had the issue again yesterday. Wife and I started texting eachother at about 8am, except, i didnt receive any of her messages until 5:30pm when she got home and told me she had been texting me. I rebooted 3 times, which once usually resolves the issue but not this time. I had to go into the settings and reset my WiFi/Mobile/Bluetooth settings, then it worked immediately.
Because of the solutions, i wouldnt think its a sim issue, but im going to test it anyway. I've factory reset a few times in the past and i still get the issue. I've had the issue while rooted and not rooted. Four of us have phones, 3 are Samsung and then there's mine, and mine's the only one with the issue.

What SMS app are you using? I wonder if you have enabled RCS messaging the new Google style messaging? Because maybe it uses WiFi to download some of the SMS, and if your carrier doesn't support it maybe you only receive it when you are on WiFi.
Try on WiFi then try just on mobile data and see if you notice.
I attached a photo check the top setting. Google might be persisting your setting (if you are using Google messages)
Also why don't you and your wife try a simnswap next time you happen and you are both at home, if your wife doesn't receive it then it's sim/network related.

I'm using Google Messages, and yes i do have RCS enabled. I dont believe thats the case though because the messages that are blocked are sometimes just an "ok" message. I'm almost always on WiFi though too.
The primary issue with sim swapping with my wife is that we would need to swap sims for up to 2 weeks since sometimes I have no issues for 2 weeks, then i get the issue once or twice a day for three days. The worst part (for me anyway) is that her screen is SHATTERED on her phone (she's using a Note10+) and its hard to see anything, so i've been trying to get her to get a new phone. I think we might be FINALLY upgrading her (after 5 months) to an S21 Ultra, so maybe we'll give that a shot there.
I'm actually wondering if it has something to do with messages for web. I've noticed that the issue only really happens after using that, but.. It doesnt always happen after using messages for web, so it might just be a coincidence.
I'm pretty sure its not Google Messages, or RCS, and fairly certain its not messages for web, because i used to use Signal only, and i still had the issue a few times.

When you say "ok" are you just sending short messages or the suggested replies by Google?
I had problems with auto reply in notifications for a while.
Tbh I just use telegram or signal becuase they don't require being connected to the device directly when using the web/desktop versions.
Yeah swapping for 2 weeks isn't great!
Interesting you had this issue with signal too, sounds like Google cloud messaging (needed for any app push notifications and messaging) is in a standby mode.
You got naptime or servicely installed? Shame no one else is seeing this issue might be easier to diagnose
