Need help. Can't send SMS but can receive.

[InfantryMarc]

OK so I'm having an issue that I've been searching for a fix just bout all week with no answers. I can't send any type of SMS message. I can receive them but as soon as I try to send I get an error message saying message not sent and a ! Mark with a red triangle around it. I have spent over an hour on tech support with a.t.t. and they can't fix it. I've factory reset and reflashed the ROM and gapps. Deleted cache from messenging app. Checked,reset, and made new apns. Tried sending with WiFi on off data on and off and still nothing. I'm on tasks aokp 11/20 with everything "stock" to the ROM. Any help I'd appreciate it alpt

I've had the same problem with my phone (GT-i9100T) on the other side of the world. Most information seems to point to the SMSC number changing or disappearing. This happened on my phone, and it won't return to stock settings. So I also can't send any SMS.
I found that mine has a phone information screen available by typing *#*#4636#*#* but that might be different for yours.

The number u need to put in is :
0713121139418f0
If you can't get to the hidden menu, the code to get to it is
*#*#4636#*#*
Then go to phone information scroll to smsc enter number above and press update. Test sending a text message to itself or to a close friend and see if it works. If it did ur back in business if not u may have to capitalize the f

sorry to bring up an old thread, but i'm having this issue now. i can send/receive MMS. i can receive SMS, but i CANNOT send SMS only.
searched xda and this forum and have tried almost everything mentioned.
here is the breakdown.
currently on Hellybean 1/14 version (android 4.2.1).
i have checked the smsc in *#*#4636#*#* and it is correct.
i have checked my apns and they are correct.
i have full wiped and reflashed the rom.
i have redownloaded the rom, full wiped and reflashed.
i have downloaded jellybam rom and still no sms.
i installed go sms pro and set the custom smsc there.
none of this allowed me to send sms messages.

i put my sim in another non android phone, and could send sms

now, this is where the story gets interesting.
i odin'ed back to stock, and lo and behold, could send sms. cool
rooted the phone, still sending sms messages. good.
(please note that i did full wipe between any flash from here on out)
flashed task/ktoonsez ICS AOKP, guess what! sms messaging working. another plus.
flashed tasks 4.1.2 aokp, still working, good deal!
so then flashed latest hellybean 4.2.1 again, sms is dead again. checked apns and smsc and its all there.
tried jellybam 4.2.1 and still not working.

does my phone just not like 4.2.1? am i destined to live on 4.1.2 island forever with this phone?

any ideas?


as a temporary fix, i am just adding a subject to my sms messages, thereby making them mms messages, and those are going through just fine. this is frustrating, been fighting this all night.

Try going back to the aokp 4.1.2 and then try flashing slimbean 4.2.1 but make a nandroid for the aokp just in case. Somewhere it might be losing the smsc in the hidden menu when u go back to 4.2.1 when u flash it try using the shortcut in the 1st page to get to the hidden menu and check to mack sure the number is still there and nothing got switched off. If nothing else try re-adding the number and reboot see if it fixes it.

yeah, i've tried doing the *#*#4636#*#* and entering the SMSC number, then hitting update on all the 4.2.1 roms ive tried (hellybean, jellybam, cm10.1).

havent tried slimbean yet. downloading it now and will flash after i wipe back to 4.1.2.



Update - back on tasks aokp 4.1.2 and SMS is working fine.

My guess would be don't buy a StraightTalk Android as most are locked completely when it comes to Root Access, they are complete and utterly jerks. I at one time had the Huawei U8860 :/ Sucked

Downloading it now, thanks

update with this:
downloaded the new task650 4.2.1 rom. backed up 4.1.2.
tried a dirty flash, just wiping cache and dalvik, and got a bunch of fc's, so time for a full wipe.
full wiped, flashed fine, no SMS.

im pulling my hair out on on this. could it be that vodafone is not compatible with 4.2.1? that wouldnt make much sense, but its all i can think of since it seems like ive tried everything else.

its gotten to the point where i want to solve this just cuz its a damn mystery.

Not using Straight Talk, I'm on Vodafone (not in the US)







Questions: would modem choice affect the sending of sms?

It might. U can look under the ported android section for the s2. Quick question though, are u on the i777 or the i9100? That would likely be the cause if ur running an i777 ROM instead of the i9100. U may very well not be able to run 4.2.1. Its still a mystery to me as well. When u did the hidden menu and all that what number did u out in? I think in the link to the other thread there is a link a number for vodaphone. If not try googling what it would be and enter it. I had to search for days on there trying to find it. Hope I helped a lil at least

I'm definitely on a i777, got it before my international assignment. Have had it for a while now.
When I did the hidden menu, I had to convert the SMS to pdu.

Maybe just had a breakthrough. On 4.1.2 and was working fine. Flashed the latest modem, uclk3, and SMS stopped working. Flashed back to ucle5 and working again. Strange thing is when I was on 4.2.1 and ucle5 modem, SMS was not working. Going to flash back to a 4.2.1 ROM and try a few modems and see if that won't fix my issue.

Hope it works for ya. I know most ROMs bundle their modems with the ROM. But there's a list if modems in the i777 forum that has em all listed. Not sure if any of em have been updated for 4.2.1 yet but its worth a try
