Pretty much everyone has this problem, there are a couple very temporary fixes, but no permanent fix. I've noticed that even though it comes back failed, it still almost always goes through.

Yeah the fix its:
Pull battery while power is on.
Then pull SIM card and sd card.
Then put sd card in then SIM card then battery.
Power up and
That should solve it.

I've done this twice already. It fixes it for a short period, but it comes back. At least it did with me both times.
 
On wifi no problems(I'm almost always on wifi)...on 4G it fails, and never sends...reset the phone and it worked, lame. I tried a couple other SMS programs so it's not that. Anyone else figure out a fix besides a reset?
 
Same problem here with mine. And it doesn't matter whether the message is long or short. I have noticed that if your phone is receiving a text at the same moment you hit 'send' it will fail to send your text. Incoming texts will override your outgoing message. Just wait a second or two, and press the red exclaimation dot. Sometimes it may take a couple of tries but if you keep pressing that red dot, it will eventually go through. Hope that helps..

(No need for resets and battery pulls!)
