Write a small text only message or select a file

So this is happening with both SMS and MMS. Have you noticed any toast messages such as 'Error code: 5' (could be any number)?

Please check if sending messages works using the stock messaging app that came preinstalled with LineageOS.

Also, have you disabled or removed any system apps or services?

Yeah, it's happening with any type of message (well I didn't try every file type, but images bring this error).

I get the 'Error code : 3 (Message could not be sent, etc...)' something like that, I guess. The strange thing is that sometimes, sending message to a number N1 works perfectly, but in the same time, sending to another number N2 bring this error. And I didn't find any pattern explaining why N1 works this time and not N2, when sometimes it's reverse (N1 doesn't work and N2 may work)...

Yes, I disabled LineageOS's stock apps

@romain-pastorelli Please enable the stock messaging app, and test if sending messages works in it. We want to make sure if it's fault on our side, or you've disabled too many services.

I enabled the stock app, tried to send a message to the same number which caused the error the last time and it worked perfectly. I also figured out that this number didn't even reveive my last message (sent from your app, not the stock app), even though it was marked as sent (in both apps)

I'm on Android 11 OnePlus Oxygen OS experiencing the same. What system modules the SMS app needs to send and receive messages? I want to check them.

@DB9-max https://github.com/FossifyOrg/android-smsmms is this what you're asking for?

The android-smsmms library is no longer used for SMS messages, it's only used for MMS.

I don't remember seeing that. It's some other system related app (built in). I'm on Android 11. But currently it i don't have issues, just need to leave excess unistalling of "bloatware" alone.

I like this app, but also experienced the non-sending of messages on Sony Xperia's under LineageOS 20 and 21.
In one case Messages informed me that the message was not sent.
In the other case there was no error message, but the recipient did not receive the message.
In both cases switching back to the stock Lineage messaging app resulted in the same messages being sent to the same recipients successfully.

I have the same issue, and it's getting worse. It looks like having sent/received big photos started the problem (at least it seems worse now), but now it persiss and makes the app almost unusable :(

I'm on stock oneplus 9 android oxygen os 14. Default Google message works quickly.
