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?

I just deleted all my texts. That surely helped.
Good to hear you solved your problem.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

Does anyone have ANY further thoughts on this? Since that last post I still have not been able to send any pics through messages.

I have a Nexus 4 (bought from Google) with the stock ROM and it's up to date running 4.2.2 on T-Mobile USA. I've tried reading up on the problems that others are having with their Nexus 4 and MMS and no one seems to be having the exact problem that I am having. I always turn my data off so I conserve battery power, it has never given me problems with other phones in terms of receiving/sending MMS messages, data would come on briefly when receiving/sending an MMS with other phones, but the Nexus 4 doesn't do that automatically. When data is on I receive them fine it seems. For a while I didn't know why I wasn't getting MMS messages. Then I installed LightFlow lite for the LED notification colors, I gave MMS messages and SMS messages different LED notification colors. Then I would get notified only by the LED notifier when an MMS was coming through, but I still wouldn't get the message, nor was there an audible notification. Sometimes I am able to turn on my data before opening the messaging app (stock one) after I notice the MMS LED notifier blinking. Other times they will come through the next day when I turn the data on, and sometimes I never get them. This is the only phone that has done this, my Android HD2, Sensation, and other phones haven't given me any problems, whether I had the stock ROM or changed it out. The problem seems to lie in how the data from the cell tower doesn't get turned on by the messaging app when the MMS is being sent/received. If I knew how to enable the messaging app to be able to do that, then I wouldn't have that problem. I have also tried using the facebook messenger/SMS app and I think goSMS, I don't remember either one helping the situation.
Please don't respond with "well turn your data on" or "this isn't a problem because you have your data off, so you don't receive MMSs". I'm used to my other phones turning the data on when an MMS is coming through. This one does not, I like being able to stretch my battery life.
Can this be alleviated by changing out my ROM? I'm wanting to swap ROMs anyway, so I've been researching which ones I would like to switch to. The other reason I want to change ROMs is I'm having problems with other stock apps that I can't uninstall and reinstall, like google maps always says my GPS is turned off when GPS and data are both on. I can use the mapquest app fine without getting the GPS error, it's something with google maps.

Ok your issue is that those other phones would automaticlly turn your data on when an MMS would come in and then turn it back off. This has to built in on the OS level which AOSP doesnt support. You are not gonna find anything to fix this.

ok. so since it is an OS level thing.then it would depend on what the developer has done with the new ROM that I install then? Maybe I'll end up getting a ROM that would work then?

They would need to add it to the AOSP source code in the messaging app but do to the restrictions that AOSP has for programs changing system settings, I wouldnt bet on it. Non of the roms here work that way. I use AF firewall for to control data

My "auto retrieve" is selected, and always has been to my knowledge. My problem is the MMS not getting sent or received when I have my data turned off. The messenger app isn't turning on the data to allow it to be sent/received.
I do like the idea that zelendel stated about using the firewall. I hadn't thought about that.

Yeah, my plan is 200 MBs a month. I selected that, I don't need more. I only check email, facebook, forums, and do google searches from the phone, and the occasional directions. It never goes over 50 MB, unless a few apps start hogging data (geico brostache app for example). It's either ads or geico is collecting data about my location/driving. I have to kill it with my app killer after I use it because it will go over my 200MB limit after a few days.
Yeah I use AFwall donate. You can set it up to allow apps to only use Wifi or cell data, none or both.

well, thanks. I consider my problem solved then. Your advise seems solid, and it is a problem that there doesn't seem to be a simple fix for. I'll look into AFwall. I was looking for a firewall like that a while back, downloaded some awful ones, then gave up on the search.

Hello, I would like to know if anyone is having problems with go SMS pro? The problem I'm having is it keeps resetting for some reason which results in me having to keep logging in. It also kicks all my private contacts into regular inbox until I move them back individually. I love the features gosms has to offer, but I'm willing to move on if I cannot solve this issue. Any suggestions on fixing this problem, or suggestions on a different SMS with similar features?
