Tired of getting "Protocol layer was unable to send a message" - Update to 10.2

I'm extremly glad to report that RIM has finally resolved  the ongoing "protocol layer" failure to send email from certain types of accounts.
A while back they post this not working solution:
KB33736 "Protocol layer was unable to send a message" when replying to an email on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone
Resolution: Upgrade to BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.1.0.1465 or higher. Contact the wireless provider to confirm availability.  
10.1.0.1465 or higher FAIL
But 10.2 WORKS - Woohoo

there are two articles from the public knowledge base about that error, for very different reasons.

KB34009 "MessageStatus: Protocol layer was unable to send a message" is displayed when sending email with an attachment on a BlackBerry 10 smartphone

  • Protocol layer was unable to send a message

    Hi All,
    I have searched the KB and have seen that the "Protocol layer was unable to send a message"  is logged.
    Just want to ask if there is any progress on this issue.
    I am unable to send or reply to my work emails via the Z10. (we use the outlook premium service)
    It is very annoying as I really can't use the Z10 right now.

  • Skype was crashed and unable to send any message

    Hi,
    I was trying to send message but in the mean while it messge was unable to send any message due to its storage capacity.
    Showing error like Unable to Send any message due to its Storage message capacity.

    Hi James,
    If the setting Show Offline buddies is active in the View menu you will see all Buddies you have.
    If you mean the Video and Audio icons they mean that those buddies are busy chatting.
    The other matter may be your Quicktime setting.
    Go to System Preferneces > Quicktime > streaming tab abd set the speed in the drop down to match your download upto a max of 1.5meg.

  • Any way to remove the kitkat update?  Once I downloaded the KitKat upgrade, i was unable to read text messages or MMS messages. Battery life really short, and now I'm unable to get it to load, phone is unusable.

    Once I downloaded the KitKat upgrade, i was unable to read text messages or MMS messages. Battery life really short, and now I'm unable to get it to load, phone is unusable. took phone into the Version store, and they were not able to get it to work either..

    I have 3 Motorola M on my account, one updated correctly, and one has not been updated to the new version.  I have since taken the broken phone into the store, and they customer support people were not able to get it to load as well.  Pretty much told me there is nothing they can do to make it work again, But I can buy a new phone at full price since I still have 6 months on my contract.  Oh that's nice, I can see having to pay full price if the phone was broken by something I did, but not because of a software update. Its very frustrating and not right!

    before upgrading to Lion, I switched from MobileMe to iCloud.  At that time I used my MobileMe user name and password.  I purchased additional storage space to 20GB.  I was unable to send any emails during this time.  After researching, I upgraded to Lion and changed my icloud mail usuer name and password from the original I used from mobileme.  How do I get my upgraded storage to my new account.  I intend to delete the first one.
    Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately you can't, the additional storage belongs to your first account, you can't transfer it.

    Was skiing with a lifeproof on and my phone did not get wet. On the ride back my phone was struggling to send/receive messages and had trouble opening apps. The screen froze and I hit the sleep button; since then, it has not turned on. Any suggestions on what to do?

    It probably got too cold and shut down. Warm it to room temperature, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

  • Brand new LG G2 and unable to send picture messages?

    i was able to send picture messages until two days ago. Now I am unable too. Is there anything I can do to be able to send pictures again?

    I was told by a service tech that this is a known problem with the LG G2. It apparently was caused by a google update and they aren't correcting it till September, by apparently doing another update.. I am on my 2nd LG G2 phone. My 1st one worked for3 months and started not sending pics or receiving pics with messages. The 2nd one worked for 3 days before it started doing the same thing. I did everything they told me to do plus a hard reset which I did several times and only works for 3 days. And who wants to reset their phone every 3 days. My phone also will only let me open a few emails before I get a "failed" "server not responding", try again later. Have no idea if that is connected with the pic text messages or not, but it is annoying. If google can not get the issue corrected then I understand they will issue new phones. I really don't understand how everything is connected and if someone can explain it further I'd like to hear. Hope this helps.

  • Error Message - Unable to send text message!

    Hi, hope someone can help me with this.
    I have started getting this error when i send a text from PC Suite via my 7610. The text sends properly and this error shows up.
    Setup:
    Windows XP Pro - Service Pack 2
    PC Suite Version - 6.70.22
    Bluetooth connection.
    Started out of the blue with no warning.
    I have tried removing the battery from the phone and putting it back in. I uninstalled and reinstalled the suite.
    Any help Appreciated.

    i had the same problem. sending an sms with the pc suite produces the unable to send text message error. i tried removing SMSsync, PC support form the phone as described in the forum. None of this helped for me.
    eventually uninstalled pc suite from the pc. then ran the pc suite cleaner, it can be found here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,8764,75877,00.html
    reinstalled the pc suite and that solved the problems
    sms's sent via pc suite are now sending successfully
