This is my wife's new X. She wanted a freaking Iphone but I talked her into this. Just some color here.
She now has a notification in the tool bar that reads "messages unable to send." If you pull it down, it brings you to the general text app. There is nothing that tells her WHAT messages didn't send. It's driving her crazy. Even to the point of her going to Verizon (which she despises) who were, of course, zero help. Made her delete all her texts and it's still happening. All her texts read as sent and if you exit the text app, the notification goes away for a few seconds then reappears.
Need to know if any of you guys have an idea of why this is happening and if so, how to stop it.
She'll turn that thing into an iphone by the end of the week if I can't figure it out.
Thanks gang.
Does she have an active mobile data connection? I think she needs that to text on Verizon, wifi may not be sufficient.

Anyone else have a guess? It's driving her nuts.
Are her messages actually being sent and received?
Remove her sim and reinsert.
Google the Verizon APN settings and confirm they are correct in network settings.
Try a different texting app. I'd recommend Textra or hangouts.
If none of that works reply here I'm sure there will be more help incoming.
I sometimes have this problem when sending pictures to iPhones, it will constantly fail to send. Rebooting usually solves it

Have you tried Settings > Apps > swipe R to L to get to All > Messaging > Force stop > Clear cache > Clear data. Restart and try another message. Or as others have suggested, try another messaging app. I really like 8SMS and have set that as my default messaging app and set Active Notifications to show 8SMS notifications by default.
Switched to Chomp SMS and it's fine.
Thanks all.

I had the same problem before the 4.4.3 update. It was picture mail that wouldn't send. Our APNs have a dedicated MMS APN that needed to be configured for my mvno . once I configured the APN I rebooted and it sent whatever picture mail I had been trying to send out.

A lot of people actually seem to be having trouble with SMS after the 4.4.3 update. It generally seems to be because they've disabled the app "messaging" and for whatever reason, they can't reenable it after the update.
It doesn't make much sense though, because texting apps can't rout messages through other apps anymore.

I had the problem before the update and after I updated it was already fixed but it was because my service provider and I figured it out before the update

I'd been getting the unsent SMS every couple days on 4.4.2. I used 'Permission Friendly Apps' to find what had 'Send SMS' permissions. I don't use Skype from my phone, so I uninstalled it. I also disabled SMS and turned off the 'Improve Hangouts' option in Hangouts. After about a week, still no mysterious empty message.
It's not proof any of that fixes anything, but may be worth a try?

yeah, working for a bit, then not working for me now.
I receive the push notifications right away with no problem. However, within 30-60 seconds or so they disappear.
They're still new/unread if I open the app.
I've verified this happens even if I turn off all other browsers/devices that might be connected.
I've verified this happens to a family member and a friend with an Epic 4G and an Evo 4G in addition to my NS4G and TF101.
Yeah, pretty slow.
but they work.
Mine work sometimes, but are really late. Other times, they just don't come through at all until I open the app itself. The push notification implementation is pretty useless overall in my experience unfortunately.
I have the same issue.
just use the app, its working perfect for me

oh i thought they meant the email setting or sms settings through the site itself. i have all of those turned off.
Google+ IS in it's beta still for a reason...
Seems to me, if someone comments on something I post, I get the notification immediately. I also get notified immediately if someone tags me in a post or picture. The slow notifications seem to happen when someone is commenting on something I've commented on. Anyone else having this experience?

Under Google + Settings, Set delivery preferences, phone, I put my phone number, confirmed it and chose 'push notifications'. After that, the app started notifying me on everything I left checked.

i thought that worked separately from the app like for non smart phones. i dont have any of that set up on the desktop and i just use the app on my phone and i get everything in just a few minutes.
i think people sometimes expect to much from "push" as far as speed goes. you have to keep in mind youre not the only one on the system and network traffic can slow things up. if your "push" notification comes in 10 mins or less then whats the big deal? in other words you want true instant push go blackberry, seems like they perfected it, otherwise i think however it works it works.
Is anyone having problems with auto retrieve. I have it turned on but when someone sends me a picture I just a notification and I have to manually turn on my data and hit download.
Any suggestions?
It's my understanding that it should just manually turn on my data and download it.
Also shouldn't my data turn on right away when trying to send an MMS instead of me having to turn it on manually?
Thanks!
Anyone?

Hahah thank you
And no I'll have my wifi off. Nope no Wanam settings are checked. I'm in an LTE area and I have Auto Retrieve on. I have my roomate send me a group message and picture and it just gives me a notification with the button to download.
It's suppose to just automatically download right?
Also if I'm in a group message and I send an MMS without my data on should it turn it on automatically?
I'm used to CM MMS so I don't know Touchwiz too well.
I dont believe data will turn on automatically if you have it turned off. Youd have to manually re-enable data , remember a text message is sent via the network "voice" carrier while mms is sent as data which is why you can still send texts with data turned off. Your saying that with group messaging it gives a notification, how bout just a regular message picture? Under normal circumstances if you have auto retrieve on it will download it by itself though. Did you change APN settings by any chance?

Same here. It's pretty slow.
A good way to get any of the MMS to send almost as fast as it does in stock messaging app is to attempt to send the MMS and you can immediately make a call or AirPlane Mode or Mobile Data toggle it and then hang up or disable AirPlane Mode or Enable Mobile Data and it'll send much quicker. The phone call method only when on 3G though, not LTE
How is the interaction with google voice? I frequently dont receive messages using GV integrated on sprint.
Hangouts took control of the voicemail on my phone after I enabled SMS. Instead of getting a voicemail notification I received a text saying I had a message.

Were you able to figure out how to disable that sms voicemail? I'd rather use the visual voicemail that came with HTC One.
No, I had to undo sms with hangouts.

I was having the same problem. Download System Panel lite from the play store. Open GV then press back. Open System Panel and tap on GV in the list then tap exclude. This will stop the service from being flushed.
The problems i have with MMS is that it has to be on 3G to send. Otherwise (if i am on 4G or Wifi) it wont send.
I currently have a mod to enable MMS on wifi with the stock app, that also takes the compression off.
Also. It wont send SMS when roaming. I need to be on sprint.
Do you guys expreience this too? Or is it just all the mods i have affecting my phone?
Not Sure But..
Theres an Stock Messaging app in the play store that does SMS over Wifi.
Its basically the CM messaging app with some extra goodies.
Its called 8SMS
id supply a link but XDA isnt letting me post a link since im new. Sigh
Hangouts is terrible with mms/ group messaging
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
So strange issue. I enabled SMS for Hangouts thinking I could deal with its inability to split text messages. Turns out I can't, oops....
ANYWAYS, Typically when this is enabled you can disable it in the SMS settings under Hangouts. This seems to not be the case anymore. Trying to edit the SMS settings now takes me to the general "settings" area of the phone as if I had selected the "gear" icon in the apps list or quick settings area of the phone. has anyone else run into this issue of 4.4.2? Have you found a solution? I would appreciate any assistance.
So are you trying use the HTC messages as the default instead of hangouts?
Settings->More->Default SMS App

Did you check the APN settigns? Default Network type?
I did. I went through numerous checks and changes of the APN with Straight Talk support to no avail.
The only thing that has changed is going to Lollipop.
(I have even tried switching to several different messaging apps- AT&T messaging, Google messenger, and Go SMS Pro.)

Did you try clearing cache/dalvik in stock recovery? And why does your signature say SM-G900A, I assume you have the i537 as well? (Sorry just gotta filter out the obvious solutions til we can get down to the bottom of this).
I have and use the s5 (900a) and my wife uses the s4active (537).

Hello I too have been having the issue with MMS since upgrading to lollipop, it will show pending and not send. Now if i turn on my wifi then it will send, and thats the only way i have figured it out on my phone. I have cricket service and when calling in to ask about this issue, they advised me thats its only on this phone that wifi is needed to send or receieve mms. I tried removing Google messenger but that didnt work either as well as deleting cache in recovery. Is anyone else having this issue on this phone.
I have the International version and have had a similar problem for a while. If I try to send or receive MMS my mobile (cell) data stops. I have to turn if off and on again and wait to get to wifi to see the picture. Did you have a problem with cell data crashing aaronkemp172460?
I also use Google Messenger as my sms app, maybe I need to ditch it.
