SMS messages stuck in outbox

Hi,
Had my phone for a few days and found the forum here incredibly useful. I've not had any major problems so far with the HD2, and am getting used to the capacitive screen after previously using resistive.
One issue I have found is that SMS messages keep getting stuck in the outbox and are not sent. I've checked and re-checked the settings (I'm using it with O2) without much success.
Soft Reset the device and it seems to work again for a time, before eventually the problem re-occurs.
Another thing I've noticed is when restarting the device, it comes up with a message 'Cannot Connect - Dialed: The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings.'
It comes up just before I enter the Pin Code. Whether this is related I'm not sure?
Has anyone else had similar problems or am I doing something wrong thats blindingly obvious.
Thanks
Nick

I have the same problem. SMS messages being stuck in outbox.
Not done any troubleshooting so far except removing the battery and restarting.

Update your ROM. This problem is over a year old and that's always been the solution.

[Q] Atrix problem: inputed text disappearing, refusing to call out etc

I looked everywhere for this problem didn't find a topic so here it goes.
I LOVE this phone however I'm having a problem; text input disappearing or not showing up at all when trying to enter information. When this happens calls don't go out and I can't do anything network related. I've tried to type things into to other places as well to no avail. The only hope is resetting it everytime, and it can remain working correctly for 5 min or 5 hours, until it freezes again. I'm stock with the latest update, also running widgetlocker and launcher pro with various other minor apps. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix? thanks

Still happening, I guess no one else has this issue?

I second you. I have the problem as well when text disappears suddenly as im inputting, and I can't see what I type, until I click send. This happens especially while I am on the Skype app. The only way to get it to work is to leave the conversation and step back into it.
Are you having the issue all over or certain programs?

All over. Can't send a text or call out. Other programs work just fine, but anything that needs inputted text doesn't work

SMS Weirdness

I'm in the UK on O2 and today I sent some SMS and just noticed the last few were stuck at "Sending" and had been that way for hours. I deleted them and tried again. Same problem, regardless of the recipient. So I toggled Airplane mode on/off. Still no luck. So I rebooted. Once the phone came up I got two notifications along the lines of "Unable to send message". I can now send OK.
Now perhaps this was my network playing up but I'd been receiving SMS fine - and making calls - all day. I've never seen this behaviour before and the fact a reboot cleared it makes me wonder if it's a bug with the messaging app.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Until today I'df been happily sending and receiving SMS with no issues since I got my N4 last Thursday.

I'm on AT&T here in the states and I send hundreds of texts a day and have not run into this problem at all. I had one delay with an MMS that sent about an hour after I had initially sent it but other than that, smooth sailing.

I ran into the same problem today. Rebooting your phone should get it back working. If not, enter your phone settings by dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Tap on Phone information and scroll down to SMSC:
Click on the Refresh button. You should see a number that looks like this: "+1206XXXX..."
This number is carrier specific.

Me too

Me too. Rebooting and updating smsc didn't help. I tried to undo my actions to the extent I could remember but to no avail. For instance, I had disabled various inbuilt services viz. Pinyin, Korean keyboard, cell broadcasting, exchange, email etc. Re-enabled. Zuk. I had uninstalled Contacts+, reinstalled. Again, nada.
But Contacts+ is able to send normal smss. That is definitely intriguing and I would love to figure it out. Can someone assist?

[N9005] Samsung Note 3 LTE - Calls from unsaved numbers causes Contacts Storage error

I searched quite a lot in this forum and elsewhere to have none of the suggestions to work. Moreover, this error is specifically caused by calls from unknown numbers and I couldn't find such an error to be reported anywhere.
Problem started after rooting the Note 3 Lte version [N9005XXUGB0D3]. Everything seems fine except that a call from an unknown/unsaved number causes the 'Unfortunately, contacts storage has stopped" error appears and the dialog box pops up four times. Worst is, if the call is received from an unsaved number when the screen is off, the dialog box pops up in the background making it impossible to respond to the call or the diaglog box itself because the screen turns unresponsive. Even the back button won't work but only the OK. I have to wait till i miss the call, and the dialog box is still there, after the incomign call screen ends. No point to save all new numbers as it is practically impossible, but to have all new number to display a name like 'unknown' might solve it, not sure though, and I do not know how to do that either.
Tried clearing contacts' cache, data, disabling google+, deleting all device contacts and google contactsl, rebooting after each trial attempts.
Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.

Same problem here.
I'll try re-flashing an original ROM if don't find an answer by tonight.
=/
Edit: cleaned the Contacts App Data and Cache as a workaround, didn't have problem until now

HELP. 6P not receiving texts/BLANK SMSC

To start, I'm on Android 7.0 using the September security patch and am rooted.
Never had an issue with this phone before. Ever since yesterday morning I have not been able to receive anyone's text messages. I'm not sure about MMS but I haven't gotten any of those either. The weird thing is that I can SEND texts just fine....and I can also send text messages to myself and they come through.
After digging and researching I accessed that hidden settings menu by typing *#*#4636#*#* into my dialer and looking at the SMSC number which should be for Tmobile, my provider, +12063130004. However, it's blank and I'm unable to change it. Hitting "update" gives me an "update error" in the field and if I hit refresh I get "+12063130004",145 with the quotes and the 145. If I hit update from there and reboot it's still blank. If I put in +12063130004 and reboot it's still blank.
I have data, I can make and receive calls and surf the web. So far I've tried switching sms apps to no avail. I'm currently using google messenger. I've tried removing the sim and placing it back in. I went in to TWRP wiped cache, dalvich cache and data and it did nothing. Finally I reverted to a nandroid I made about a month ago when sms was working fine and it's still not working.
I'm out of ideas fellas. At my wit's end here!
Oh, I should also let you know that I think this all started when my girlfriend sent me a text message that i received yesterday morning. It was the last text I was able to get......she's on a cruise so she sent it somewhere near mexico....I think it made my phone have a massive brain fart and I'm not sure how to fix this bug. Please help!!

No one? I've found nothing on the web..

This may sound obvious, but have you tried using a factory image to return to stock?
Sounds like you've done everything but that.
I suppose you could also try deleting your APN and manually entering a correct one for your carrier. That's helped me in the past on other devices when I've had weird data/service issues.

Funny you asked. I did a full wipe and returned to stock on the latest November build. Still a no go. People still get my texts and I can still use data/make and receive calls fine. I'll try the APN suggestion now.

As far as APN's go, I tried to reset them to default. I even tried deleting all of them except for the one I was using which in the past for other devices helped with certain issues. I then created a custom APN setting that I found on the 6p forum that helped other users with SMS/MMS issues....no help for me.
I can still send SMS,mms, make and receive phone calls. No idea what to do!!!

I have a similar but different issue. I can receive messages just fine. But sometimes when i send messages id say about 40% of the time my message gets stuck at the "sending" and it takes sometimes up to 10min for it to send. I can speed the process up if i go to the secret menu and toggle the radio off and on.
Im on ATT BTW. I thought it had something to do with ATT shutting down the 2G network and the phone getting confused as to which network to send messages on but im no expert its just a theroy.
PS. I had this problem pop out of nowhere. Had it start randomly on PN6 (last build) so i upgraded to PN7 same thing on 2 different versions of the ROM. And now im on SuperAx 7.1 and still have the issue.
Ive always had problems with Nexus's and messages. When i had the Nexus 5 i actually had to warranty it out because MMS all of a sudden would not work at all.

I received one text today from someone. That's it. Not getting all the missed sms messages and not getting any additional sms messages.
