lumia 820 cant send sms after portico update

[senbobaggins]

I've been using a lumia 822 in Europe. Its unlocked, originally on Verizon. It was working fine until I updated it with the latest version of wp8 (portico update). Now I can't send SMS whatsoever. I can however receive and make calls and I can also receive sms. Does anyone else have this problem, or any solution? I've hard reset and checked service number but nothing has helped

I had that issue and had to uninstall Skype and then reinstall it and everything worked normal again.

I saw your idea and i tried that first, but unfortunately it didn't work. I've tried a soft and hard reset but to no avail. I'm hoping this gets some momentum on wpcentral so somebody might figure out a fix. Is there anyway of undoing an update

Is there anyway of undoing an update

Not unless you find the original ROM and reflash the device.

I have the same problem, Nokia 822- internet is good, calling is good, can receive text message just can't send them. I hope this problem gets resolved. Use without Update ?

We could we waiting months for a fix! I've tried all the suggestions, but still no luck

This seems to be a common problem since portico, see these links;

Nokia Lumia 822 SMS can't send Support | T-Mobile

According to this thread on the TM page, updating to Portico solved this guys SMS problem on T-Mobile.

I think theres also mention of taking the phone off the automatic ie Hglobal mode and manually switching it to GSM mode

Hope this helps

I had the same problem after portico update.Was not able to send sms. I am using 822 in India and what I notice is when I turn on sms delivery message, I get the message that mobile operator cannot send your message(something like that). Now here interseting point is , if I want to message at say +91 1234567890 then the error message from mobile operator says it cannot deliver to #011+91 1234567890 right now. So it automatically adds #011(in my case as prefix) and hence message never gets send. You can verify from your side if that happens.
As for the solution I flashed the firmware to the original one and now I am able to send sms again.May be older firmware has some bugs, but still I can use call, messaging data with ease now. I still prefer to use these fascilities first. Others like gaming music etc are secondary. I am going to stay on original firmware until something concrete for this problem comes.
hope this helps you all

im afraid flashing the device will do more (unrepairable) damage. Im now selling my lumia 822 unfortunately, for cheap, anyone interested????

[senbobaggins]

There doesn't appear to be a fix just yet. Maybe flash it with a different ROM, like 'Anupam P' said

 

[madhi]

i too reverted to the old firmware as anupam suggested. now everything works as it should. till a solution is found for portico sms problem, better stick with the earlier firmware or flash it.
