so, I thought this was all a thing of my past, but I missed another text last night.  Is there a way to find out if the text messages are just not getting to my  phone, or if they are not even getting to the network?  I am so frustrated.  I have moved everything I can think of to the SD card, thinking that maybe the error about running out of space was causing me to not receive data.  The error is not showing up now, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on my ability to receive texts.  I can not even log into FB without the error coming up, even after I force (what I think are) non-essential apps closed, but that's just another part of my annoyance with this phone right now.

What is plan G, H, I, or whatever?

OK, so I'm somewhat new to this fabulous party.  Recently I started having problems with texting.  I could still receive, but not send and getting the "com.android.mms has stopped working unexpectedly" error message.  Then last week stopped receiving texts completely.

I'm running Android 2.3.4.  Just yesterday I was able to finally install the 4.08.605.2 software update but that didn't fix the texting issue.  I found another post referencing that hotfix for the texting problem, and successfully applied it so now I can receive again but still cannot send.

I have one text that sits in the "Undelivered" folder that can't be deleted or resent no matter what.  I can't seem to delete any other texts prior to the date of this undelivered text, but can delete out ones after that date.  I think if there's a way to clear out that one undelivered text it might solve my problem.

Please help, but I'm afraid the answer is gonna be "factory reset" and I'm skeptical that will work because I've read plenty of these forums (and on forums in other android sites) and factory reset hasn't worked for any of them.

Thanks for anyone's assistance!

Thanks a bunch!  That hotfix worked for me.  Now I have about a week's worth of catching up to do, lol.

My phone has stopped receiving all text messages as of today!  I have endured the same problems with this phone as many others have had with the low memory.  Even with very few apps loaded on this phone, I am constantly erasing caches and data from the few apps I do have to even be able to use this phone...and still the low memory issue is a problem.  Now on top of it all, my text messages are not being received!!!!  I am eligible for an early upgrade now because I'm the primary on my account but I won't receive my add'l customer loyalty discount until June...I can't continue using this phone like this until then.  I read back on this thread and see that there was at one time a hotfix for this issue but as of today, this link does not work.  Does anyone have the solution to this problem...I will try anything.  I do have insurance on my phone but I'm not sure if it will cover a problem like this.  And even if it does, I don't think I should have to pay the $90.00 deductible for a problem that appears to be related to an update.  Someone help!!!!

manufactures don't always share things with the carrier. That's why if your device is broken and its not a service issue you should call them not vzw
