My Samsung Galaxy 2 (SC-02C) has been rooted and upgraded to 4.1.2. It seemed that everything, all phone functionality, was fine.
However, I've discovered that I can not send SMS with my phone. I can receive SMS from anyone from any carrier in my area just fine. I've asked at my service provider (DoCoMo, in Japan) and was told that I have the service enabled and my account with them should be fully operational.
I wouldn't have imagined rooting and upgrading the phone would impact SMS, but that seems to be the case.
How might my SMS functionality be impacted by my current ROM, and how can I fix it?
Answer
For some reason I assumed that SMS functionality was integral to the phone, not the OS, and so it would be reliant on carrier configurations and settings. As a result, I automatically went looking for some kind of solution that involved ROMs or kernels and whatnot.
However, it turns out that there are SMS apps available on Google Play, and I was able to solve this by simply using an app other than the default. In my case, I chose Handcent. SMS works perfectly fine.
So it was only the default SMS app that was the problem, not anything more fundamental.
