Failed to Send Text Message on Android? - Here's How to Fixed!

None of this worked for me. I discovered later that i was creating a new text message without re-opening an older thread/conversation to the same person. That older thread had an unfinished and therefore unsent text sitting there. Deleting that, allowed the new text to be sent. There really should be a law against error messages that don't explain what causes them. The android menu's shown in the video don't match my version of android either. Perhaps someone should create an app that keeps all the menu options in the same places from release to release?

I have the same issue as brozbro and the message actually goe thru even tho shows failed!

Thanks, but is not what I'm looking for. When I text a picture it sometimes does not get sent. I am not notified or alerted. If I go back to the failed message, I see a red minus sign next to the pic. How do I get alerted when this happens? My guess: not a feature.
