Thank You for all these options! Will try and see if any help. Also, one comment stated opening the older text messages first then add what you are sending. That may be the fix for mine. All worth a try.

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?

Any method didn't work for me. If the message we sent to someone earlier is still not sent, then this problem comes. So delete all those messages that are not sent.

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.
