Hi there, in my new s7 edge,
when i was trying to send a premium sms text,
it said "do u want to send? YES NO" and bellow there was an option like "always remember".
i wanted to press YES and always remeber, but i accidentaly pressed NO and "always remember".
now there is nowhere i can find the spot to reset it back and i cant send that sms...
its not an ISP issue as when i try the same SIM to another phone, it sends it without problems...

I had the same issue and I had to factory reset because I couldn't find it anywhere. Very fristra5
Sent from my Blackberry Bold
I am having the same issue. This is absolute garbage that this cannot be reset. I do not want to hard reset my phone to fix this. It takes me hours to get all my apps back in place and everything logged in. If Samsung's back up saved where my apps go and how I like things customized I'd be a little more reluctant. There has to be somewhere in the phone to fix this Short code texting.
People with high Wi-Fi drain try this:
Backup and Reset -> Reset Network Settings
This will only reset WiFi password and Bluetooth and it did had a positive impact for me.
Not sure what Wifi drain has to do with this topic...
Default app manager pro can clear default apps and bring back the open with menu. Pretty sure the lite version can do this too.
Nope no defaults set anywhere
Has anyone found a solution except for factory reset?
Just curious what's premium SMS? Compared to a regular SMS?

It's an sms sent to a phone number to approve a charge. Kinda like a 900 call.
I was replying to something like a redbox message - STOP, HELP, YES. Since I accidently hit "no", whenever I respond, the message FAILS

Still not working
None of these solutions work. I've ready that it's a marshmellow thing.
Can't you just long press the messaging app from the app drawer and go to app info and clear data and cache to reset it?

You could try settings > application manager > more > reset app preferences
Try this:
Settings > Application Manager > Find the app (most likely it would be Messages > Storage > Let it compute (which can take some time) > then CLEAR DATA. This might delete all your texts though (not 100% sure since I haven't tried)
Go to Settings / Applications / App Manager, scroll to the SMS app (Messages is the default SMS app), tap the app, tap Set as default, tap Clear Defaults.
That should do it. This is how you clear defaults for every app.
I just did the same thing. I bought my S7 today. But there is no premium sms setting in the phone. And I do not want to reset my phone. I gave my 3 hours for it
Any chance that this is under App Permissions? Ir simply install Google Messenger.

I had the problem for a couple days after getting my hero. I connected it to my task killer. Here's some stuff you can try.
reboot and try agian
make sure auto recieve is on
update your prl
download 3rd party messenger app
restore to stock
if still screwed up... contact sprint
I haven't had the first problem with my sms's after rooting and installing a modaco's rom
Make sure you enable auto-retreival of sms and mms in whatever messaging app you're using and report back to us.
well i updated the prl. i have no idea what that is, but apparently it worked. did that and rebooted and it seems to be working fine now.

Few steps:
1. Go in to the default Messaging app > Menu > Settings and uncheck retreive sms and mms > uncheck notifications
2. Home > Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage > Messaging > Clear Defaults
3. Go to the people app, do like your going to send an sms message, a pop up will come up asking which app yyou'd like to do this from > check-mark default and select your preffered messaging app
4. paypal me $1

UPDATE: BALLS!!! it don't work... :/
what does work is under people > contact > hold down on send message and you can choose default
I just started having this problem after doing the root and modaco rom. I have tried a PRL update, hard reset, and numerous soft resets, verified my auto-receive settings and have tried the stock app as well as handcent.
Any ideas?

Notifications are turned off by the following:
Go into the Default Messaging app (HTC's buggy one)
Menu > Settings > Scroll Down and Uncheck Notifications
well it went from working earlier today to not working again. i cant figure it out. nothing changed and at somepoint today,i stopped getting my texts. my wife called me from work wondering why i hadnt gotten back to her cos she had texted me 3 times. i was texting with her back and forth earlier in the day and now nothing. they send fine. i just stop getting them

Are you saying you removed the stock messaging application? If so, my understanding is that would be very problematic at best. Unfortunately the Hero still uses some code from the default Messaging app (even if you are using Handcent SMS or Chomp and have it set as the default SMS client)
"Long time listener. First time caller"
not the stock messaging app, the stock app
So, the more I'm reading about this issue, the more it appears this is possibly a permanent problem on the device once it appears. I have tried everything and cannot receive a text.

Can you provide a list of all the sprint/stock stuff that you removed?
So I called sprint tech support today. The tech was pretty helpful and seemed to be familiar with the hero. After 30 mins of various tests he came to the conclusion that I had originally suggested (bluetooth causes low ROM) and asked me to exchange the phone at a local store because htc wants this "batch" of phones back.
I find it hard to believe this issue is limited to a "batch" of phones as that would indicate that they know exactly what is causing the problem and would be able to fix it.

I havent had any issues with bt. when my ipod dies i just switch and listen to music on my phone. using bt moto rokr s305, i believe.
It wont let me select a contact when I click on to
I can go to the contacts and press the smiley face thing and it will let me but if I try to type the name it just types it with no number. ir just randomly creates numbers. ive already done a hard/soft/factory reset
what am I doing wrong?
this is pissing me off
Try using handcent sms and see if that works
is that an SMS app?
The best i bet 80% of the people here use it
this fixed it, but I HATE the way it looks, no way we can get the original SMS app working correctly?

Handcent can be fully customized so the look can be changed dramatically.
Have you tried settings. Privacy. Reset to default? And Forgive me i'm assuming you already restarted the phone To see if that fixed it...
In Handcent go to the settings, you can change almost every single aspect of the app, its pretty damn cool
Weird, I want to report I've had no issue with the original SMS program, I can't seem to reproduce that. Do people really use handcent?
I dont know anyone personally that doesnt use handcent on their android phone, I guess based on that I just kinda figured everyone did

I've already done a hard reset, factory reset, soft reset, etc... lol
still nothing and its starting to tick me off
handcent is ok, but i prefer the android SMS app.
any updates on fixing this?
Are your contacts phones numbers set as 'mobile'? I think the default application only pops-up contacts' mobile numbers.
If you imported them from another contact list then it's possible that they've been defaulted to something different.

all my contacts were set as "other"
Glad I could help.
Apps like handcent sms optionally allow you to use non-mobile numbers for SMSs, but the default app it quite restricted.
guys,
i urgently need your help on this..
i was looking around in the diagnosis mode code and i may change something while i was looking at the setting and now i cannot send SMS.
i have tried to change everything back to normal but i failed.
please help me, how can i restore all diagnosis mode setting to the default setting or which setting i must change to get my SMS work again..
It's a bit of an obvious answer, but if you can't get it to work again, perhaps a hard reset would do the trick

Why don't you try going to the Settings > Applications (Swipe left) > messaging
Check the SMS center. This is not a device settings, it is stored on the SIM card and maybe it is removed

Hi, I got similar issue. did you manage to fix your phone's SMS issue?

Perhaps this would help, go to main menu in diagnostic, choose common (6), and then factory test (7) and go to sellout sms (7) and turn on sms enable (1) and restart your phone

Hey guys. this just started happening to me yesterday. Handcent refuses to download mms messages. I hit the download button, it blinks over to 'downloading' like it's supposed to, but then switches right back to the download button with no results. I've tried fully restarting the phone and still, nothing happens. I've checked for any available updates in the Market and there's nothing available.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Any tips/tricks to get this working for me?
I've had that happen before. Try clearing cache or cache and data from the app. If that don't work, uninstall it and download/install from market.

Okay so, i went into settings > applications > manage applications > Handcent Messenger and the only option i can find that seems like a cache clear is clear data, which i would assume wipes out all my past convo's. Where should i be looking to clear the cache?
This happened to me on Saturday as well. I received an MMS and I couldn't download it. I was on Wi-Fi at the time so I decided to switch over to 3G and it seemed to do the trick.
Mistasal has a point. WiFi will often take precedence over network and mms won't travel over WiFi. I just assumed you could clear cache. I just reinstalled when it happened to me. Plus you can save all sms/mms with apps like sms backup+ they are free and restore your convos.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The newest version has bugs that's causing the problems. If you could, roll back to version 3.7.9
The phone is supposed to switch to 3g to download mms. You still have the stock messaging app installed? Are you able to download the attachment with that? If not, you could try updating your profile (settings/update/update profile).
Handcent has lots of good issues, but it's downfall is wake lock issues when received messages are not checked. This has been somewhat less of an issue with cm7, but any subsequent messages throw the program into a wakelock state. To clarify, you receive one text, don't look at it. At this point, handcent uses only a few seconds in a wakelock state. Now, repeat test, but also receive a 2nd text (so now 2 unread texts). Wakelock state will be present until you unlock the phone. Not good.
Oddly enough, my phone only d/l's and sends MMS when WiFi is on. If I'm on 3G, I can only sent text messages. Handcent always gave me so much trouble with htis, I only use stock MMS now.
Your phone supposedly isn't supposed to download mms over wifi, only 3g/1x. Also, go to your stock messaging app, settings, and make sure your "auto retrieve" box is checked.

I dunno about the data connection. It worked when wifi was on and didn't work while it was off.
I'm also not able to download images in the stock messenger unless i'm on wifi.
Finally, if i turn on the auto-retrieve, i'll have two sets of messages to check.
You can have auto retrieve on, but you need notifications turned off in stock

Same issue with my Galaxy S4 GPE on KitKat 4.4.2. Unable to d/l any MMS. Really frustrating.
After upgrading to oreo, I have no option to use simple characters in the google messanger application (default application for sms/mms). I have reset the phone and I still do not have this option. In another application, for example Textra, this option is and the number of characters in the sms is of normal length. Do you have any ideas what can I do?

Thank you for all answer. After factory reset I saw this option, but when I restored data (sms, calls, ...) via EasyRecoveryBackup this option has disappeared. It helped factory reset. But when I restored data (sms, calls, ...) via Google backup this option has not disappeared.
The problem has been solved.
