Motorola Droid 4 not sending text messages after firmware update?

Ever since the most recent update I've been having major issues with my texts not going through. I have to completely reboot my device. Any ideas other than doing another factory reset?

    Hi CyJoi83,
I use my text messaging feature all day and I can understand how frustrating it must be to have issues with it. Are you using the native text messaging application? Are you using a different application (i.e. Handcent, Go SMS, etc.)? My son has a Droid 4 and he also had some post update issues but all issues were resolved by doing a http://vz.to/TZvgLF factory reset. I recommend doing a factory reset and then install your third party applications one at a time and test a few hours before the next install as you may also have an application conflict that is causing the issues. Keep us posted.

  • Droid maxx hd will not send text messages

    Is anyone else having this problem? Phone started not sending text messages. I have deleted Apps, pics, texts, etc and it starts to work for a bit then does the same thing.

    Have you tried clearing system cache on your phone, I'd clear cache's for your Text messages then clear the system cache, make sure to power cycle your phone this can help as well..

  • Droid 4 not sending picture messages

    All day I have had problems with my Droid 4 not sending picture messages. I can recieve them, but not send. Regular text messages go through fine. I've had a 3G signal all day, although the mobile web does seem to be running a bit slow. I just got this phone 5 days ago, and have had nothing but problems with it ever since. I had to get a new sim card the very first day.
    I live in central Ohio, was just wondering if anyone else was having problems, or knew of a solution

    Go in to Settings--Apps--Manage Apps Click on ALL,  Find the "MESSAGING" app and open.  When you are in MESSAGING, click DISABLE or FORCE STOP.  Next, click CLEAR DATA.  (a warning will tell you that you will loose all your data and messages, click OK.(all of my messages were saved)).  Now, click ENABLE if you dont have the enable button just exit out.  Then either (1)Exit to the home screen, go into the APPs manager (white circle with 6 dots) and find the MESSAGING icon.  press, hold and drag it back to you home sceen. Or your Message icon will still be there and it will just reenable on its own, just go and try to send your pic and it should work.
    Did for me, did for my brother.  Hope I've helped, and hopfully this is a permenant fix.  I've been sending more pictures now a day later and it still works.

  • Iphone 5 receives text messages but will not send text messages

    Since yesterday my boyfriends iphone 5 will not send text messages. He can receive them but when he goes to reply it doesnt work. He has turned his phone off and on and that seems to work for awhile but then the same problem happens again where he cannot send a text message. Was wondering if there was any way in fixing this or why his phone is all of a sudden doing this.

    So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon. 

  • Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

    Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

    I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have!  I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved.  I hope your problem is solved this easily.

  • I can not send text messages

    this is a new problem on my g4.  all of a sudden I can not send text messages when i am in my home.  this happens on my s4 and my sons s4 but my daughter uses an iphone and she is not having this problem.  i can receive texts, facebook, email etc I just can not send texts.  Nothing in my house has changed except that Comcast just put in a new modem, I am not tech savvy at all so not even sure that would affect my out going texts
    any suggestions would be great

        Hi scrappy1989,
    Let's see what's causing the problem! Are you using a 3rd party messaging application? Are you having trouble sending picture and text message? Do you experience the issue with everyone you send a message to? Do you receive an error message? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  • Xperia Z1 can not send/receive MMS after Lollipop update

    Xperia Z1 can not send/receive MMS after Lollipop update, is anyone else having this issue. Any ideas on what I can do to restore MMS?

    MMS need a data plan, there are certain carriers/networks that allow MMS to be sent w/o a data plan to their branded/locked phones, you will have to contact your carrier/network regarding this.
    Is your phone braded or was it branded? did you flashed lollipop ?

  • I cannot use  my iPhone to make calls or send text messages after upgrading to ios 7

    I just upgraded to ios7 and I can no longer  make calls or send text messages.  The screens seem to be locking.   Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

    My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.

  • I can't use iphone5 China Mobile Network in China, unable to register activation, could not send text messages, not GPRS

    Dear Sir or Madam，
    As I bought my iPhone 5 (16GB,White) in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,  unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in China  using local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message, and iMessage and Facetime also seem not to work.This is very serious for Apple and me! Will I have the chance to fix this?
    I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
    Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.

    The Sprint iPhone 5 is NOT unlocked. The SIM slot can only be unlocked by Sprint for Sprint customers in good standing.
    How exactly, did you "unlock" the phone?  There are known issues with SMS on foreign networks.
    If the article you linked to did not fix it, you'll have to work with your carrier.
    The bottom line is, you should not have purchased a Sprint phone with the intent of using it without Sprint service.

  • HT3529 I am in Chinese, but somehow I could not send text message to UK or US now, but could call Uk and US phone number successfully. Is there anyone could help this, thanks!!!

    I am using iphone 4, and upgraded the system to IOS6 already. but I found I could not send test message to UK and US, I could call phone number in UK or US successfully. Could someone to help me to fix up this issue. I guess the problem probably came from the format of UK or US phone number in my Iphone address book. Due there is some blank space between the phone number for iphone phone number format. I ever try andro phone, no blank space there, so could send test message to UK and UK without problem.
