There was a thread about a month ago I believe, had a problem similar to mine but not quite the same. And if I remember correctly, his was fixed on its own after some time.

My text messages aren't working correctly. I cannot send SMS. I can send MMS, and receive SMS and MMS, but not send a regular text.

I thought this was some crap with metro, since I paid for 2 months in advance, and the date that my phone would have been shut off is when it started.

I just paid my bill again, and got it turned on (let it get turned off, hoping that the refreshed signal would fix it) but it still isn't working. I just updated from ZVB to ZVD, hoping to god it would work. Still no.

I'm about to root and flash mt's broken out esteem rom. If this doesn't work, does anybody have any ideas on how to fix? I really need my texts lol.

EDIT: Sorry if this doesn't belong in root, I put it here because I don't know if it could require changing things that may require root privelages (like wiping everything/changing roms/etc)

Your suggestion

I would try updating os and reboot firmware...usually works out

Alright, switching roms has fixed my SMS. Don't know exactly what happened before, even reflashing my old ZVB rom (LDK-ICK 1.4) didn't fix it, but at least now it is. And I even have the screenshot ability built in :p
Thank you mt and pg for the roms, and thank you mrpnut for your assistance.


:D
