Root Messages Not Sending.

[wynn55]

So the title is my problem; text messages now have decided that they don't want to send. For a while, there's a "Sending" text under the message, then I get a notification that the message could not send. Whatup wit dat?

Thanks

I'll play, Whatup wit dat?

What OS are you running? are you rooted or unrooted? is the number your sending them to allowed to receive text?

I smoke too damn much. Forgot to mention all of that. Running Velocity 1.1, rooted, and as far as I know, all of my contacts still have texting plans.

If you installed Velocity without wiping data your going to need to wipe data and the dalvik cache then reflash the ROM, That should fix it.

Man, I just did that to fix MMS like a week ago. Thanks for the solution though!

I don't know man, I don't use messaging a lot but Velocity 1.1 seems to have some issues with it.

Woke up this morning to find this same issue. I updated to Velocity 1.1 a day after it came out and did the full wipe. Can't send or receive SMS. I can send MMS but can't receive. 3G works fine. Bizzare. Maybe Verizon is screwing with us?

Edit: Can't make calls ether Crap.

Double Edit: It appears that my area is experiencing a service outtage of some type. None of my friends with Verizon in town have service ether. False alarm!

call *22899 let it go through its motions. and make sure you didnt try to back up message data. because the ally freaks when you try to restore it.

I called that number, nothing got fixed. :c

 

[death2all110]

Try *228 option 2. Did you try restoring mms/sms data or something?

 

[epistaxis]

I'm fully back up now. I don't think it had anything to do with Velocity. Probably the first cell outage I've ever experienced.

Thought I had all my mms issues sorted out, but now I come to find I can't receive pics with txt msgs. I can't even send them to myself(to test)? I can send them to others just fine ...though they seem a little delayed. I haven't changed a thing in, like a week or so. So I'm not sure what's up?

Other than that, my phone is tighter than ever!!!!!

All of these people are posting solutions that would work, but I've had the same problem as you, but I rebooted my phone, and my messages immediately sent upon restarting.


This happened to me in Velocity 1.0 and I just did the ol' "Restart your device" solution.

 

[JokaLo]

I had the same problem with an older version of velocity, i wasnt receiving text but i got calls, so i rebooted and got like 40 text at once, also* sumthing about handcent sms is janky, try chomp sms its alot better, if you even use text apps

I think I backed it up with Titanium but I restored all my apps with Velocity script

EDIT: I tried dialing that also. And I also did a full wipe and re-flash. I'm gonna delete everything related to Titanium off of my Ally then try fr-flashing again.

 

[death2all110]

DO NOT restore mms.apk app/data. weird things happen. i know from personal experience lol

I think I might've done that. Can it be fixed or did I screw myself?

You would just have to wipe data & delvik cache then flash Velocity again

I did that multiple times, still nothing.

 

[wynn55]

I've tried like everything I could think of and still nothing. And I can't afford another phone.

Wipe EVERYTHING, reflash. Then dont install anything, no backups, 3rd pary apps, nothing. This will be a good baseline test. If it works then slowly add apps back in.

If you reflash, then do anything we cant help you, as it could very well be 3rd party apps or backups breaking it. We KNOW that MMS works great if you do a full wipe, and has about a 30% failure rate if you dont wipe.

Did that. Still didn't work. I'll try to use a 3rd party messaging app. If that doesn't work, then I'll try restoring an old nandroid.

EDIT: I installed Handcent and now everything seems to be in working order! Thank you guys so much for all the help!

 

[azuma73]

Ok, so I wiped, re-flashed 1.1, re-stored my apps with TB Pro, (not data, just apps). I use GoSMS Pro. MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE MMS AUTO RETRIEVE in stock msging app! All seems cool now.
Seems like it took a while for me to fix this 'cuz it made me mad and I gave up for a bit!! Again ......all is well!!!

I've been having similar issues with receiving/sending messages. I've done a full wipe twice. pretty annoying. not sure how to resolve the issue short of rebooting.

When I first flashed over to Velocity 1.1 my phone had no problem sending any type of MMS. I was sending and receiving like a pro and actually had improved receiving picture messages. But I then flashed a theme and something went wrong in the upload so I was forced to reflash Velocity 1.1. I was able to download Velocity and completely wipe everything. So that was a few weeks ago.

Today I went to send a picture and ended up not being able to even get a picture to go through. I was able to receive text and picture messages without any problem. Sending a MMS was/is my only problem. I made a nandroid right after I flashed Velocity 1.1 CLEAN, but now I'm getting told that all of my backups are corrupted.
