SMS not working on cricket

I just flashed my phone and the phone works fine. I just have problems
with sms. I can't send or recv any sms messages. I used prl 1050 and 38515
and still the same. I keep getting message can't be sent and the
bottom of the screen shows error synchronizing. Is there any settings for
SMS in this phone? I did the *228 programming and it all went thru fine, and followed the instructions that ryan mogul posted for programming the phone with my new phone # and settings.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
thnx

Possible Solution: disable "Automatic Prepend" phone feature
This is an old thread, but if you use a Sprint-based ROM with Cricket, you'll probably have problems sending SMS.
Solution:
Turn of the feature "Automatic Prepend", which prepends a "1" to the phone# when sending SMS
HowTo:
Start Menu --> Settings --> Phone --> Services tab --> select Automatic Prepend --> click Settings button
change it to disabled, then click OK, then close all windows
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, PRL 1050 is no longer a working PRL, and will probably cause problems if you are using it. *228 is best method for loading a good PRL, although if you're a cricket user, and you have a diamond/touchpro, *228 will only work when you have a 1X (non-EVDO) PRL loaded, such as 1042. To get around this, you have load a 1X PRL before trying *228. Just copy the PRL file to your storage card, or to your Internal Storage or My Documents folder, and then dial ##775# (or ##778#) to use the HTC PRL loader to load the 1X prl (such as this one)

thnx for the reply , its already disabled still not working
can't send msgs but recv fine
and the data portion doesnt work , internet from cricket doesnt work also
i'm stumped

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried different roms, tried *228, call cricket, ect. When I First got my phone i could send and receive txts, but MMS and data didn't work dispite the cab installs and manual pst programming I did. I have verified with a flasher that everything is flashed properly and he told me that it was probably my rom (RyanMogul2006's 3.1 light cricket build) I tried cooking my own, and also tried DCD's 3.2.6 (currently on) I don't understand why this wont work! I can make and receive calls no problem, but also when I load IE, it takes me to the mycricket.clearmode.com/brandstoreBPPortal/go?page=subscription where it tells me I need to subscribe to mobile web (it's included in my plan and confirmed by the reps)
any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

I got everything working, seems there was a problem with my PST settings. Reinstalled Win 6.5 21885 (me thinks>)with cricket cabs
And did the PST setup below again

yeah i've deleted and re-entered my MSID and MDN, and all the [email protected] entries, and still nothing. I used DCD's 4.1, aku0.4.4, My own 6.5 28014 build and ##000000# and *228. NOTHING! I'm about to pull my hair out because I can't seen to make it over to a CricKet store before they close!

I have had this problem with several phones lately. (A Q and two 6800's with Ryan Moguls Rom's. The problem is obviously Cricket's, because you can get to URL's within the Cricket Portal, but usually cant get other URL's (sporadically I would get google.com). The cricket people either swore I had Internet on my account or in the first case they charged me $5 to upgrade my account (to mobile Email) to no avail.
I finally took it to a Cricket owned store, and the guy said, o yeah, I will fix it, and he changed a setting (on their net) and it worked. In another case/different phone, a different store said that my $45 account, (special price, but includes Internet) did not show Internet on it, so he added it.
Find somebody at Cricket who knows something (the customer service over the phone is worthless) and tell them the basics (clearmode.com only) and see if they can fix it.
btw this is unrelated to the original SMS problem (I have seen this fixed by rechecking the PST settings & *228)

Okay I went a person yesterday, and they told me that if it shows up in the system as a "flashed phone" it will sometimes disable you from sending txts or anything. She changed it to a dummy phone (something Motorola) and then did an account refresh and now everything works! My guess is that this is what causes this, so I think we can safely close this thread now.

[Q] Played with network options... No texts anymore

Hi,
I have a Samsung Vibrant. As I'm in Australia, I was playing around trying to connect to another frequency via *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information. I set it to AUS and backed out (pretty sure that's all I did). Then I couldn't send any texts .... at all. Failed.
I switched back to Automatic frequency - no difference....
I have re-falshed the OS with Odin, both with the most recent 2.1 release and also with one that is supplied on the xda post "OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images" (I'm not allowed to post links) (I've still got this one installed right now). Both made absolutely no difference.
I deleted all user data... no difference.
Now I have a stock phone entirely, that will not send any text messages.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Andrew

I've noticed that SMSC is blank - I tried to set it to the right number: +61411990001, but it just returns 'update error'. So I tried 0411990001. It didn't 'do' anything, but didn't return an error. It disappeared when I backed out and came back in. it didn't fix the problem.
Is there a trick to updating the SMSC that I've missed? It seems likely to be the error??

there is also no information in 'Your Phone number', and I recall that the default way to access voicemail never worked because of 'no voicemail number on the sim card'...... does this all add up to my sim card not having the correct default information? Is there a way to fix this?
....help

Here are a few tips:
1 in mobile settings click apn and make sure there is a green circle on thee right of the name for your apn. If not just tap on the circle once and out should turn green.
2 in mobile settings, click automatic network discovery then try step 1 again
3 open mms app, press menu and go to settings. Make sure auto retrieve is checked.
Let me know if this works or not.

@crazy25000: Thanks heaps, that led me in the right direction to correct the texting issue. I had no apn at all - no options and had to add it manually. I'm not sure that it worked, but perhaps. I did get to the right settings menu to fix the smsc number though, which is great.
I still feel like my sim card is not quite right - there seems to be no default data for the carrier on the sim.
Immediate problem solved though. thanks again.

i have done the same thing while fiddling with my vibrant. sms wont send because the gateway # is blank . what i did was pop it in a friends iphone and type **5005*7672*61411990001#
(61411990001 is optus smsc # yours may be different)
then i put it back in my vibrant and viola!
altho i still cant send or recieve mms..

Glad to great it's slowly getting resolved. If you don't have an apn, click on automatic network discovery in mobile settings and it will automatically generate the correct apn for your carrier. Keep me posted because this it's relatively easy to resolve so don't stress

[Q] Can send texts but can't receive them

UPDATE: Full details on how I solved this problem can be found here.
I'm on CM6--haven't upgraded yet.
A couple of days ago, I stopped being able to receive text messages. I can send text messages and everyone gets them (confirmed).
I have Google Voice (GVoice) installed on my phone and if someone sends a text to that number, the phone pulls it down and displays it fine. However, if someone sends a text to my Sprint number, no go.
The only odd thing that I can think of that happened a couple of days ago was that I got an international text (from the UK) and I think it's since then that I've not been able to receive any texts.
I tried to uninstall Handcent and used the default Messaging app, but no luck. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Just as additional information, I called Sprint and they checked my MEID and said it was wrong and the phone needed to be "refreshed". Is my MEID # different from what they have because it's rooted?

Wait first try installing another rom. Or you could just upgrade to cm7,cm6 is too old. Then when you install another rom try texting again.

Thanks Jadden.
I think I know what the problem might be. More details here. Basically, My MIN on my phone doesn't match what Sprint has for my MSID. Confirmation these need to be the same found here.
I am going to install another ROM first--a stock one, and am following the steps I documented here.

Hey, this has happened to me randomly twice before, same exact situation. Didn't matter what ROM I tried, it just wouldn't work. After a while I found the solution was to clear all data settings/reactivate the phone on Sprint's network. I don't remember the exact steps since I'm on CM7, but on a sense rom, go into EPST, and find the option to clear the data settings. Once you do this, it'll say like reactivating service or something, and it'll be fixed. Let me know if it works or you need more help.

all u have 2 do is (if not on a sense rom):
1. nandroid once in recovery
2. wipe all (3x jes to be sure)
3. flash a SENSE ROM (not AOSP)
4. in settings, update profile, den update PRL
5. nandroid back to ur old ROM
if on sense rom, do JUST step 4
ur MEID will match once u do this... n everythi g will be back 2 normal

Sometimes the solution is super simple. Go to Google Voice settings, under the phones tab, click EDIT on your cell phone, then make sure the e text messages on this phone is clicked. Save. This turned off once on me for unknown reason. Drove me crazy trying to figure out why I couldn't get messages.

You need to update your PRL

For me, I had to make sure "Notifications via text message" was ticked in the Google Voice settings. This took me three different nandroid, PRL updates and reboots to figure this out.
I like using the EVO native messaging app and for some reason this option was randomly unchecked during some upgrade.

Same problem
I'm having the same problem as of a few days ago, and I don't quite understand what you did to fix it?
Any help would make me happy. I've been fighting with this for several days, I'm out of ideas.

Phone won't send (but can receive) MMS

Hey all. I've had my Galaxy S4 for about a year now, and I've installed a plethora of custom roms. I'm currently running stock touchwiz on my device. I've noticed that my device can receive but not send MMS message. This has been an ongoing problem for several months and I haven't been able to figure it out. Before I switched to stock 4.4.2, I couldn't even get MMS messages, and today my co-worker sent me a successful MMS. But I still can't send them. I don't have an APN settings option in my settings, so I updated my profile etc. through my Sprint Zone app. I'm completely lost and have noooo idea how to get my MMS messages to send. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey bryguy9021, thanks for the reply. I tried opening voice dialer and speaking APN but received an error that says "I have no specific answers for that. Let me do a search for an answer to apn". I tried speaking "Open APN settings" and it simply took me to my connections menu. But there is still no option for APN.

I've been having this same issue for a LONG time now. I've read a lot of cures, I ended up messing with my APNs manually and got things REALLY cocked up. I heard that 8sms would work better than the default messaging app and have been using that, but I still can't send MMS messages. I've pretty much given up at this point.

AT&T MMS

I rooted my oneplus 6t a couple weeks ago. My MMS messaging worked fine before I rooted. Right after rooting Oneplus updated Oxygen. I made it thru updating and keeping my root and Magisk. I have called AT&T and went over the APN settings and they are correct. I also did the *#*#4636#*#* and the tower is set up correct to LTE and also seeing the LTE on my signal strength. Anyone have any idea how to fix this. I did notice after rooting I had to reset a lot of app permissions as well as data access permissions. Maybe something I am overlooking there with a system app that doesn't have permissions. I granted Google Messages as well as my default Textra full app and data permissions. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm not very Droid savvy but I'll give as much info as I can.

Call att and make sure that your SMSC number is right when I got my 6t my texting didn't work until I called att and they told me that my phone on there sides showed as not having the ability to text so they needed to do something on there side and I need to change the SMSC number which is located in the default messaging apps settings at the bottom

I'll try that and let you know. Thank you for the reply.
