Text messages stuck "sending"
Was wondering if anyone else is having this issue. When sending text messages they sometimes get stuck "sending" and never go through. This happens both on / off WiFi and I have tried both with and without wifi calling. I've also changed the network settings off LTE to 4g/3g/2g and even just to 2g to try and resolve this.
This is happening on my S8, wifes S8, and our sons S8+. Started within the last two weeks and according to TMO store rep it's a firmware issue that Samsung is aware of but I'm not seeing others with this issue complaining so it makes me wonder.
Any feedback would be helpful thanks!
¡Hola, @radarweaver!
Thanks for joining our Support Community! Seeing how texting is a primary form of communication these days, I'm sure this is pretty frustrating for you and your family. I'm sorry this isn't working as it should. I'm actually working with another user that is having the same issue as you on their Samsung Galaxy S7. I appreciate you letting us know what steps you've already taken to attempt to get this fixed. It's a bummer none of them worked but what I'd like to do is forward this over to our Samsung guru to see if they have any additional insight because you've done about all the troubleshooting we would have had you do. I'll likely hear back from them on Monday or Tuesday and will follow-up with you on this thread then.
Edit: I'm sending you a private message to gather a few specific details about each of the devices. You can check your inbox aquí.
I have this issue frequently lately. I've tried restarting the phone but that works briefly. It is beyond frustrating. I have samsung s10plus. Any insight on a fix would be greatly appreciated.
I'm having the same issue on my s20. Tried turning ina nd off wifi and it doesn't work.
Do you have power saving modes enabled? Sometimes the mode causes the data (wifi/cell) connection to shutdown to save power and only enable when you use it (send). The problem arises when the connection takes too long and the app (messaging) gets stuck in sending mode.
same issue exact … motorola one 5g ace…..
It looks like ongoing issue. Having the same issue with Galaxy S21 Ultra. Sending text is not working time to time. I have to restart the phone then it works a few times. But it happens again. So frustrating
My S10 and my Wife's S20 have the same issue. Tried all the solutions (turn OFF/ON Airplane mode OFF/ON, clear cache, updated OS, etc..). My ATT S10 work phone does not do this, so it's T-mobile that is the issue.
We are having this same issue, its BEYOND frustrating! It does it over wi-fi, it does it not on wi-fi, on all 3 of our Samsungs. I've tried restarting the network, restarting the device, I don't see anymore ways for me to troubleshoot myself, its done it with my old phone (also a Samsung but I want to say it was a Galaxy J7?) Its getting super frustrating
I just started my service last night with TMobile on a A32 Samsung Galaxy 5G and I am able to text pretty much everyone in my contacts except my daughter who has an Iphone. Any message I send to her sits in a "sending" mode, except 1 message that got through yesterday. Is there any help for this? Please let me know, thank you!
Seems to be an Android bug as it's happening over all the different carriers I had the same question it happened once before.
Update…
I set Contacts, Google, and Messages as the only apps with SMS permission.
Call redirecting app was not set, so I set it to T-Mobile.
Reiniciar
A lot of messages came in after reboot.
ORIGINAL
Messages in 'Sending' mode. Needing a fix soon…. Seems to be only my phone, not others in group.
