Root SMS not sending to just one number?

I posted this question in the ROM section of my ROM but it doesnt seem to be very active so I apologize for the double post, but....

First time I have experienced this last week one contact that i tried to send a text msg to encountered an error. When hitting send the messege just stays on the text field and will not send.

Here is what I do know:
I can send texts to other people no problems, I have deleted and reentered the contact info and still same issue, I can use another text program to send a messege and it will send. I can receive texts from the number that I cannot send it to. If I include a picture (MMS) it will go thru. I have removed the battery and rebooted, no change.

I am using this ROM for about a year and have had no issues untuil now.

Anyone have suggestions as to remedy this?

Thanks.
 
What ROM are you using? Also, are you using the stock messaging app or a third party messaging app (ex. GO SMS, Handcent, etc)


I am using MIK 3D RC and the stock app will not send sms msgs to just ONE number in my contacts, all other numbers are fine. Third party apps will also allow the msg to send without issue.

Right now Im using Chomp SMS, but not really happy about having to solve my problem with a band-aid solution.

You got any idea about why this has happened all of a sudden? No new apps that could have caused it to happen.

not a clue...LOL
i mean it is only that one number. and the other sms apps work for that number, just not on stock. you have tried wiping dalvik cache and cache as well as re-flashing the rom.

curious have you tried other roms yet? try making a nandroid backup of your current rom and try flashing something else and see if the issue carries over.

other then that i'm have no clue what is going on.

Don't know why it would do that with one number. Mik3D is an old ROM. Did you check out the mikmik forums to see if there were any similar issues?

Also, just curious, is the number listed in your contacts as xxx-xxx-xxxx or 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx ? Do you know if the number is to an iPhone?

Do you use any task killing apps?

Just trying to think outside the box.

Its not an iphone, its another evo. I have tried both with 1 and without, as well as with the area code and without, as well as putting - between the parts of the number. I do use a task killer but have had it long before this started happening.

Have you tried clearing data and cache on your messaging app in settings>applications>manage applications? You could also use titanium backup to backup the app, then uninstall and reinstall app only and see if that helps at all.... I say this because reflashing the rom without wiping data likely wouldn't make much of a change in a system problem, clearing data from the app will reset it to how it was before it started acting up. But it also may not hell at all, just trying to help out ;?

Uninstall the task killer. Whether it affects this issue or not, it's really unnecessary and causes more issues than it tries to solve.
