Sms message not sent - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is the first time I get this message where and oddly enough ALL messages are marked as sent. I tried deleting cache and data then rebooting and as soon as I tap the sms icon the "message not sent" appears on the status bar. I have checked my conversations and there isn't a single one stuck on sending. Any ideas?
Sent from my Nexus 4

Oh boy.. I have started getting this error SO MUCH, for the past few months. Earlier I thought this was my operator's issue but if other N4 users are also getting it then it may be some issue with the phone's software or something. Plus, no one else who uses the same network at my home or friends are getting this issue. :s
Basically during a covnersation, often people start textimg me "hey where did u go"... or "u there" etc.. And infact I actually am replying them but they are not getting my messages. So I restart my phone and there I see "Message not sent" error in notification and a lot of red triangular icons in inbox conversations.
What to do :s

It did not worked for me. Handcent was showing one undelivered message, but was unable to remove it. Maybe because both recipient and body was empty.
Very strange.
The solution was to:
1. install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
2. do a backup,
3. remove all messages from SMS app (you can do it in one shot from menu),
4. restore,
5. problem gone.
It's clearly an android bug.

Can't clear unread SMS counter

I have 2 unread SMS showing in the slide2unlock screen and on the SPB shell icon. I deleted ALL of the SMS messages (drafts, outbox, etc. too). Yet still it shows 2 unread. I have threaded SMS installed. Is there a way to clear the unread messages?
I had that problem as well with threaded sms, even though i had gone into the program and read the texts the htc home plugin and the threaded sms today plugin still told me I had 3 sms messages waiting for me. I couldn't get rid of it until the next day someone else texted me, then the popup notification window came up telling me I had 4 texts, I clicked the option "save as read" (or maybe it was dismiss) and they all went away, see if you can get someone to text you and try that maybe?
Tried that....didn't help
I've had this happen too. I fixed it by uninstalling the threaded SMS application, then when I went into the stock SMS app, I saw an unread text message that the threaded app didn't know about. I think it has to do with installing the threaded SMS application when you have one or more unread texts. Who knows. Anyway, delete it, reinstall, and that should fix it.
there should still be a way to access the default text messaging folder even if you have threaded sms installed, too bad that option doesn't seem to be included (that i've seen) with any threaded progs I've seen yet. Hopefully the uninstall works for you.
my problem is a little different.
i am using the default messaging app and it tells me I have one unread message.
i have selected ALL messages and set to "mark all as unread". at this point it shows "126 messages, 127 unread".
anyone know how i can fix this....?
Thanks
I resolved the problem by uninstalling Threaded SMS. I saw the 2 unread messages, deleted them, then re-installed Threaded SMS.

I have the same problem on my Kaiser (wm6 htc shipped). I'm using default messaging app and it happens on HTC Home plugin and in msg app in "Select account" screen and on folder change screen (counter shows "1" next to "Inbox" even if i delete all messages from all folders)
It doesn't happen on SPB Diary plugin (here counter works ok) and also when I don't have any new messages, there isn't any "notification"/"new msg icon" on wm top bar (next to the Start button).
I know it is not Kaiser forum and this thread is little bit old, but I was looking for some fix across all xda-dev site and the only one thread i found is this.
If someone knows how to fix my problem (without making Hard Reset) it would be great
The only way I have been able to fix unread count since I am operating the OEM 6.1 threaded sms is to open up reg editor HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\
Then change from SMSAvailable from 1 to 0, Close out the reg editor and select messages then go through and read the text message that is in bold(has not been read).
After this go back into reg editor adn go back to above value and change back from 0 to 1 and should be back in business. I may have to do this once a month due to a hung message. this always fixes it. Not sure if this will work for the folks using Cody's Threaded. I believe that it will, due to making the messages show up under the normal messaging folder.
Let me know if this works for you...it always works for me.

Search for "fixunreadcount".
I don't understand well english,but think that this file can help you...
extract file in ppc and execute it.
I am having HTC Touch(GSM) 128MB ROM & 64 MB SDRAM UNLOCKED(originall bought from UK, having Orange Connection). Recently I was fidling my device with phm registry editor, and some how what happend I dont know, But now the new sms counter which displays on the home screen tabs is not incrementing. If any new sms comes the counter remains '0'. Can ANY ONE please help. One more thing is there any ROM update for my set?
I have had this issue again in the last two days after flashing Ark_N's latest ROM for TP2.
What I have done just now is tap on the sms icon/button, tapped "all messages" text that appeared after tapping the sms icon/button, tap "menu", selected "settings", selected "traditional mode", scrolled down the messages till I came to a text message that was unread (bold type), read it by selecting it.
After that, I selected the "menu" button, selected "settings", then "conversation mode", "back", and pressed the "home" button (hardware button). And guess what? the issue was gone.
Hope this helps.

(Help) Every time I open up the SMS app it sends a text message to my friend saying "

(Help) Every time I open up the SMS app it sends a text message to my friend saying "
Ok, so basically several days ago I sent my friend one SMS saying "Hello". At the time it didn't send, because I was away from home and barely got 1x reception. Anyways, not every time I open the SMS application it sends (without telling me) an SMS to my friend saying "Hello". I've soft reset my phone and deleted the SMS conversation with my friend, but it's still sending. He has also rebooted his phone. Sometimes, I get a notification saying Nessage failed would you like to retry, and the message is that apparently failed is "hello".
If it's any help, I also uninstalled SMS-Chat recently.
edit: strangely enough, when I disable threaded messaging it resolves the problem. However, I would very much like to keep threaded messenging enabled. I wouldn't mind using another threaded app, but when I do, it's not integrated with the HTC home text message button.
Thank you - Dave

New message - doesn't show in inbox

Hi,
my first problem with my x10 has encountered (after 3 months). I recently got a message, but it did not show in my inbox, only as a new alert. I cannot access this message, not even if I click on the new alert. It will only direct me to an empty message.
This is actually not a problem, but the thing is that I cannot delete this alert. It will come back even after I clear all messages, kill the messaging application, and even after a reboot.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Edit: When I clear the alert, it will not return after I enter another text message.
Edit2: Solved, removal of all messages (settings -> delete all threads) worked.
The exact same thing happened to my friend's X10...haha i wonder why this happens?

Weird text message issue

I got a text message in my notifications, so I click on it, but it comes up empty. so I go back to the home window, but the text message keeps repeating in the notifications. I restarted the phone and it's still doing it.
It's weird :-/ Take out battery & insert again after 10 seconds, it may help...
Have you more than one SMS applications?
Nope, I have only text application that came with the phone.
I did the battery thing. It's still doing it. I keep getting he message showing up in my notifications bar. What's annoying is the LED keeps blinking green.
I've even downloaded a task killer and killed messaging and it's still there. I've also went into settings>applications>messaging and cleared all data and cache and the stupid notification keeps displaying and LED blinking. It's annoying.
okay fixed the issue and really simple and I feel stupid now.
When you pull down notifications, there's a big button on the top that says CLEAR. If you press that it goes away. LOL.... I feel stupid.
EDIT TO THIS: Nope this has not fixed the issue, the message has returned into my notifications.
Reinstall the software with SEUS or SE companion

perfect thank you very much. It seems like it worked, simple and easy solution.
Only a small problem when I import the messages back in, the ghost notification message comes back. But deleting all the messages worked so I'll stick with that.
empty message when clossing message app too fast
I've got another weird text message issue:
If I send a message and press the back-button right after, the recipient will receive an empty message.
I need to wait for the red thingy next to the message's gone. I think that that icon means that the message is being sent.
Is that normal? Is it a setting I can change? I use the standard sms app....
EDIT: and I get a notification that the message is saved in concepts
I used to get weird numeric string messages from rogers on omnia but I hav't recieved any on xperia so far

[Q] TM-HTCMT4G Messaging works, but "window" never loads

Model T-Mobile myTouch 4G
driod ver 2.3.4
HTC sense ver 2.1
software# 2.32.531.1
The problem appears to be with the actual message "screen" handler, when going to messages, at the top it says all messages, with the search icon, and below that is has the compose message button, but no messages actually display below there, it does nothing.
Clicking compose message takes you to the normal text screen and allows you to choose a contact to message, you can enter the text and it will send telling you "loading" and stops(hangs) there, the message does actually send.
The only workaround I've found for it is to go to contacts, select a person, and then hit the messages button...this will display the list of messages with that person but nothing else. Clicking the menu and hitting compose(or the "tap to reply") button get's you a prompt to select the program to handle it, messages or fb messenger, clicking messages gets more spinning of the "loading" prompt and the phone hangs at that point...I've searched this forum for about an hour now and have not seen this described.
.I'll be reading the guide for my model in hopes of a reply coming before the teenager with the axe..lol. Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

You can try clearing the data on messaging, but you will lose your messages. If there is a hangup (I know, I know) somewhere in the app it might fix it.
Otherwise, for phantom errors with no apparent fix, a factory reset will usually fix you up.
To clear data, go to Settings>Apps>Messages and click "Clear Data."
