With the advent of modern messaging systems, having a problem sending text messages on an Android phone can be more than just an inconvenience. It prevents us from continuing our conversations and leaves us stranded in cyberspace. So what do we do about it? If you are having this problem, then this troubleshooting guide is your solution. We will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps that should solve your problem and allow you to send text messages again.
But before you take off down this technical rabbit hole, if your phone is having other problems, tweaking some of its basic settings can sometimes be just what you need to get it working again.
Text-sending and receiving require an excellent signal from your network. Your phone’s signal bars should read three or four, or better. Second, texting can be compromised by broken bugs in your phone’s operating system and your messaging app, so make regular updates to both.
When an app crashes, it’s often because the data cache is overloaded. Clearing your messages cache could give your phone a new lease of life – while you’re at it, make sure your SIM card is in the right place and pointing the right way as it usually is.
If your messaging app can’t be tamed, applying a ‘force stop’ through your phone’s Settings menu can be like a soft reset, possibly getting those text messages flying out of your phone.
There are times when even a simple reboot will make it seem like an eternity or world that has been projecting upon your shoulders miraculously disappears. A reboot achieves this, simply by pressing and holding the lock and volume down buttons for a while.
If your text sends chain is only one person long, figuring out whether you have been blocked is a reasonable step to help you narrow down the cause of your problem; call that contact and see if it goes straight to voicemail, or delete and re-add them.
Sometimes, the problem isn’t even your phone but your carrier’s network. If you call your carrier and there is a system-wide SMS problem, you’ll feel a whole lot better than having to run repairs on your phone.
Still stuck at the crossroads, unable to send a message? Check if your plan or credit balance, Google Messages is your default texting app, check that the international codes are correct, and make sure that RCS chats are enabled.
Every phone has texting, and texting accounts for much of the day-to-day communication over the phone. Texting is a simple function built into the phone, but for maintaining connections, losing it is a big deal.
Android phones, known for their flexibility and degree of tinkering that you can perform on them, sometimes hiccup, such as in sending text messages. This cheat sheet is vital not only when electronics fail us but also when they function as they’re supposed to. Every step is a chance to gain a smidgen more knowledge about the machinery at our fingertips, reducing our time in the future spent shouting at it and keeping our digital conversations open.
A systematic approach to resolving the problem of texts not sending on your Android phone can’t only produce a solution; it can give you a deeper understanding of and familiarity with your phone. In a world increasingly reliant on digital communication, learning how to use your phone effectively brings you closer to the age we live in, and more capable of communicating through text, one message at a time.
