I love the ROM on my Touch Dual. Thanks for the great work. Only problem I have is that I am unable to receive any SMS. I can send SMS fine (and people do receive them) but when they send me SMS I get nothing. Could someone please help how to fix this?
(I am on T-Mobile USA)
are you sure you are not receiving them under the original message, this rom uses threaded sms by default, meaning they dont appear in your inbox as they would normally
Yes - I am positive. All I have are SMS threads that have only my messages. Not a single one of them have any of the responses.
For Tmobile are there any settings I need to keep in mind?
There is a setting under "SMS Service" which says:
SMS Over:
What does this need to be set to? (GSM/GPRS?)
Also what number does the "Text Messages Service Center" need to be set to (under Phone settings)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i am having a really irritating SMs problem with.
My dad lives in Cyprus, when he sends me an SMS i can not reply, when i try it just says 'sending' then 'failed' . In order to get the text SMS to send to him i have to delete the message thread, then start a new message and it will send. Now if he then replies, i will need to delete the message thread again in order to be able to send him a new message.
I do not have this issue with any other contacts that i am aware. The only difference with my dad is that he lives abroad in Cyprus, and all my other contacts are here in the UK. Has anyone else had this issue? Know what causes it? I have deleted and recreated the contact but still the same.
Many thanks.
Do you have your dad's number stored in contacts with country code or not ? I was on the verge of smashing my phone when i was abroad, trying to call persons in my native country and i couldn't because i didn't have numbers stored with country code. Maybe that's your issue too
I think the problem is related to what SMS server your dad is using, I had same issue with my X-girls phone, no one could direct reply to SMS...
Hi, thanks for the replies.
Sp1tfire, i have changed the number configuration around several times, all with no success.
Fritz, this sounds plausible, however this would surely affect other phones replying? I don't have this issue when using my iphone 4 so it only happens from the Galaxy2 at the minute. I will try and use a colleagues Android phone to text him and test it.
Somehow you, or TSP (Telephone Service provider), have inserted a sms mail server address that is not valid.
here in my country, there has been scams, "cheaper SMS, enter this server setting" and stuff like that, so there is a setting on you phone that is wrong.

Can't be cause of settings, if he can actually send new sms to that number, but he can't reply from the received sms. His settings are correct as long as he can send sms. Must be something else. Are you using default sms app or a third party software ?

I am using the stock SMS app. I have just wiped the phone and installed the KF2 firmware. Going to see if that helps.
Sp1tfire, thats right, i can only reply to him when i delete the existing thread. I can however send new SMS to him no problem, so long as the thread is deleted before hand. Very frustrating as i lose the history every time.
Update, exactly the same on KF2 Firmware.
Ok, so i tried with a friends HTC desire and he has the same issue. also found my brother who has an iphone 3gs is unable to reply to my Dads number. So at least know its no longer just my phone and that it must be something the other end. Many thanks for the help.
Same problem here
When I reply to my girl it says: failed, when i delete the whole thread it goes.
It's only when I text her, all the other contact go fine
On my old sgs I had it to, but only on stock, when I was on CM7 it was OK.
Cant imagine that its something with the other phone i'm sending it to though

I remember in all the previous phones I've had, there's been a setting in the SMSC Settings allowing the user to specify whether or not to "Reply using the same SMSC" (or something along those lines).
If the option is ticked, the phone attempts to reply to the message through the SMSC that the text originally came from (rather than the one set in your handset).
The cause of the error may be because the SMSC overseas does not recognise your phone/SIM and therefore won't allow the replying message to go through.
And perhaps this may explain why deleting the whole thread and restarting a brand new message works - that is, the new message will go through the SMSC that is set in your phone for your own network.
Although, I've had a look through the settings in my SGS2 and can't seem to find that setting anywhere... (doesnt mean it's not there - it could just be that I don't know my phone well enough because I've only had it for a few days ).
I think your dad's SMS configuration settings is forcing you (or any other person he is sending an SMS to) to reply through his operators message centre
Ask him to check his sms settings and disable any such message centre settings from his side. This should solve the problem.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
sorry for my English, I use google translator I have a poblem with SMS, I can send and receive.
my operator "PosteMobile," if I try to put a sim with operator "telecom" is okay.
I try to change the SMS center number, but it gives me error.
What can I do?

And that will work if the OP is on AT&T. But if he isn't, (which I doubt he is, since he's in Italy, and even said his operator is named "PosteMobile") he should probably look for the SMS Message Center number for HIS carrier and use that instead.
best option my friend telephone your network provider and explain your problem and tell them to set the sms settings for you again. they can do that by sending you the settings by message and all you have to do is save it. just call them explain and they should guide you through your problem
So my brother asked me what secret codes on nitrality are and i told me not to touch it. Apparently he doesnt see me as much of an authority. Since then i can't send sms. I tried wiping from CWM, installed CM7.1, went back to VillainROM3.0. No luck. Tried updating SMSC, no luck. Does anyone know what nitrality secret code he might've used and if there is any way of resetting it or something?
Im on t-mobile, Croatia.
Is it possible im wrong, and its only my carrier or sms?
I apologise if i posted in the wrong section, or if this question was already resolvde somewhere, i did my best to do the right thing here.
SMS Message Centre check correct network settings .

Try Go SMS Pro
I have been struggling and struggling to change the SMSC on my G2X CM7.1 using *#*#4636#*#* to no avail. I could not send sms. I can change the number using the Go SMS Pro in the settings and now I can send sms.
Hi all , is it possible to replace the sms.apk with those from custom roms ? actually im using a korean galaxy hd lte and i kept on getting invalid sender error when i tried to send sms. in the msg setting , there is sms centre or mms server setting... i tried 3rd party sms app such like Go sms pro but it didnt work too..so i was trying to replace a galaxy note sms app into my device and b4 i do that , i just wanna confirm with the gurus here if this is possible.. pls advise , thx
Same here. The essential SMS app is the only thing that's not working in SGS 2.
Really a big disappointment.
Its usually a user error .
Check correct settings in message centre .

Same phone, same problem, same solution I can imagine, same urgency to solve the problem. Who can help?
This phone is nothing like the i9100 aka the SGS2, its more like the T-Mobile USA SGS2, but with a different radio.
Anyway.
Go to your carriers website, find the option to be sent the correct settings, or google "<your carrier name> message centre number", hit the menu key in the sms app, go to settings, and make sure that the correct Message centre number is there.
