For 3 days now for a span of 1.5 hours a day I receive the same message from an unknown source. Ranging from every 2-5 minutes apart. Has anyone experienced this as well? Is this possibly from an AT&T Alert (QuickReach is what I was told) that no longer functions properly due to a flashed ROM?
Anyone ever heard of Quickreach?
Luckily I have unlimited SMS..so irritating.
Did you use a different SMSC # on your phone?
Happened to me once, because the dude that used the phone before me changed his smsc # on it.
There was another post on this that I ran across some time back. It stated that you might receive text messages like this when your phone is attempting to receive email through the push email function, but your phone is not connected to the internet. I do not have all of the info on this unfortunately, but I ran into it as well recently, and when I reconnected to MEdia Net, those texts stopped.
Hope this gives you some insight.
Aren't those the text messages you get after using OZ instant messaging? I used to get those when I used OZIM, as they updated its status, friend info, etc., and they would always stop as soon as I exited the application, or sometimes a few minutes afterward.
I'm not sure how you would stop this, but maybe flashing back to AT&T's stock ROM, and running OZ IM, then exiting the application fully would stop the messages. Then you could go back to whatever ROM you want. I'm not sure it would work, but it may be worth a shot. I hope that helps, and good luck,
Dave

Searched around and couldn't find an answer. My problem is that if I'm not around the phone and receive an SMS, I don't get re-notified that there is a new one. So sometimes I'll have one from like an hour before, and then the only way I know it's there is by checking the phone manually.
I have no problem receiving the initial notification. I'd just like it to keep notifying me until I check it. My old phone (a Motorolla V600) did this, and it's like 5 years older than the Tilt and not even comparable in terms of capabilities so I would imagine the Tilt could do this as well. Here's my phone info in case it has anything to do with it:
Dutty Apr. 16 ROM
Radio 1.58.11.07
I'm also using Slide2Unlock V1.00 if that makes a difference too. Like I said before, I have no problem receiving the initial notification, even when Slide2Unlock is running.
Thanks.
Not sure of you mean re-notified of new one as in initial message or subsequesnt messages so I'll hit both.
You can try one of these to make it keep repeating alarms:
AlarmPal

DontForget
http://magazin.softimage.cz/dontforget/app-description/
If you were talking about notifications on subequent messages then:
I tried sending myself multiple txt messages. Sent one and the message alert notification sounded. Waited a little bit and sent another to see if there would be an alert notification or not and it worked perfectly fine and annouced the new message arrival. I tried it both with and without S2U2. Not sure why your doesn't work for you.
I'm running the ROM here:
**NEW** [05/11/2008] ATT 19213 build with 1.65.20.29 radio
Rom without ATT Customizations - OS only!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391708
http://rapidshare.com/files/114286810/NO_ATT_19213.rar
I was referring more to an outstanding message. Meaning one (or more) that I haven't checked yet. What I basically want is when I have at the least 1 SMS that hasn't been checked, I will keep being notified.
I'll give those programs a try and see if they work. Thanks.
Edit: DontForget does exactly what I want it to and I think it's working with Slide2Unlock. The only way I tested it so far was to send a message to myself, so when I received the message Slide2Unlock wasn't enabled since there were literally only a few seconds between the time I sent the message and when I received it. So after 30 seconds, Slide2Unlock started up and I had the icon showing me I had one new SMS. After 2 minutes, DontForget notified me that I missed the SMS. I'll just need to test by having someone else send me a text message when I know Slide2Unlock is already running to see if I get the same results, but I'm pretty sure that I will. Thanks again.
i've done some searching for the past few hours and cant find a solution to this problem so either i suck at searching...which is probably it...or my phone is just acting retarded...which could be it too haha.
i can't send text messages to (so far) only 1 contact in particular and it started last night. i was on ZeroXd-5.0r3 for about 48 hours or so, not having any problems with texting, until late last night. i try sending her a text saying goodnight, and instead of a response from her, i get an error message saying i need to "verify sms center settings are correct" and it never actually re-sends the message no matter how many times i tried. this morning i get home from dialysis and flash zeros new 5.1 release to see if that fixes the issue. no dice.
*my service center number is correct as far as i know - +12063130004. (i dont know what other service center settings there are to change, if there are any, im always down to learn new things! )
*2 other contacts who are also on tmobile received messages.
*3 other contacts from different carriers also received messages.
*the same contact i had this problem with last night who is also on tmobile, still wont receive messages, even after going to 5.1
i've done some searching and don't know what else to do as far as troubleshooting goes. id like to stay with hero and not have to go back to a cupcake build to see if that works but that's what i'm considering...just as another option.
anyone have any input as to how to fix this issue? i would greatly appreciated it!
**fixed the issue** all is good now =]
Hi Guys,
I'm running Cyanogenmod 6.1 (Android 2.2.1) on my G1.
I received a text message but the notification then said;
"Text message rejected due to storage full"
(or something along those lines)
My questions are;
1. Is there anyway to get that text message resent by the network? If the phone says it 'rejected it' then presumably this means it has a not-delivered status on the mobile providers SMS system?
2. Can text messages be saved to the memory card?
Thanks,
Mark.
Not as far as I know. I had something similiar happens to me and I could never re-receive it.
This happened to me once and it never, ever came through. I gave up on it. Though a few weeks later it had happened again for a different reason. I done a manual search roam, tried to join a different network, it failed, put me back to my original network and the latest message came through. It worked a good couple of times for me.

I too thought this would work but it didn't...
Which network did it work on?
It worked for me on giffgaff. Though when it didn't work, I had left the phone for like 2 days before actually trying anything like that to retrieve rejected ones. When I got the reject message the last few times, I cleared space then done the roam thing straight away and it came through.
I don't need to be clearing space anymore really though. I just keep an eye on it even though I'm now flashing ROMs all the time. That roam change thing was when my a2ext wasn't configured/working properly and I was in the middle of conversations.
Arghh, this just happened to me with being on a magpieless Froyo rom and just being on a market binge.
Who's fault is this, the rom/phone not sending the correct response to the network, or the network being a ****?
I'm sure it should work, it used to be fine back in the day when texts went on the sim and you could have 10 so it happened all the time.
Its pants. The phone is supposed to send a confirmation back to the network of successful receipt. So either something isn't working with that or the networks aren't processing as they should.
I've been having issues with Go SMS, where every incoming message I get will be timestamped incorrectly (like 6 hours prior) and will therefore show up at the beginning of each respective conversation list. That issue only exists in Go SMS, the stock messenger app and Chomp work just fine so I'm sticking with Chomp for now. (don't lecture me on why one is better than another, I'm not here for that)
I've also been receiving messages multiple times over the last couple of days. I don't recall it being an issue until just one or two days ago and it's only once in a blue moon, but the same message will come in 3 or 4 times, and it happens with different people, whether my phone is already on or if it's off. Can't seem to find a common denominator here.
Just wondering if anyone else has run into either of these issues yet. If it's something that factory resetting and re-flashing doesn't help, I'll return it for a different one.
Same problem here. It has to do with the delivery reports. You'll notice if you turn them off the timestamps will be correct.
I've tried changing the 'change delivery offset' option which is somewhere in the GOSMS settings, but it only works 50% of the time..... I checked in my stock messaging app AND handcent SMS and the delivery reports don't work there either (it shows as Unsuccessful in Handcent, and a red icon in Stock Messaging). I've read somewhere around here that if you are having trouble with SMS, your sim card is most likely bad.
If any other users could tell us if their delivery reports work/don't work, we can sort of narrow it down to either a bionic problem, or just the sim card.
Gotcha, I'll play with delivery reports and see what happens. I didn't run into this issue with my Charge though, and I'm using the same SIM. I'll report back soon.
I had the multi message issue about a week ago, but after the Go SMS update last week it stopped. Haven't had it since and have not noticed a timestamp issue personally.
I have the latest version of GoSMS and it still does it, coincidentally for certain contacts though, mostly those on other networks.

I restarted my phone this morning and now everyone that I receive a message from, comes in 3-4 times every other message I receive... WTF.
Ok everyone figured I'd come here to where the experts live. Haven't been here in awhile.
Recently my S8, wifes S8, and our sons S8+ all have the same issues.
The first issue is texts get stuck "sending". This happens with WiFi on or off, with wifi calling on or off, and I even tried changing off LTE to just 4G/3G/2G and even 2g in settings to see if that would help. I'm on the latest firmware from TMO ending in QEF, well we all are.
The other one is apps like FB and others aren't alerting but they will show the number of alerts even after they've been checked. I've reinstalled these apps and the problem persists, and then I can reboot my phone or wifes phone and all the alerts start working again for awhile and then die eventually.
The texting issue though persists and is random when it will hang and when it doesn't.
According to TMO rep at the store it's a bug in the firmware with bixpy that was pushed out, but I frankly don't buy it and figured I'd hit the guru's up here and see if you guys have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance guys and gals....
I too have had the random "texts get stuck sending" issue. I haven't had it in a while though (now that I've said that I'm sure I will).
I unfortunately don't have any suggestions.
I ended up using googles version of messages due to this. Only on stock text app do i have any problems anymore. I also noticed on the stock app that my phone would say "sending" when the other side would actually get it, but it was at random.
You don't have a cellspot repeater or router do you? Last time I had it, my device was hung and needed reboots. Just a thought.
Thanks for the feedback, yes I have a cell spot, but I also have the issue other areas of town too with no real specific place thatbit always happens.
I'm going to reverse back from the qef firmware and see if that resolves things. This has been so annoying, and it just started about two weeks ago.
Thanks again everyone.
I have had the same issue with sending texts too. I have been using the stock messenger app. I may just switch to textra.
Same issue here. A temporary fix, try turning on airplane mode and off. Works for me a times
Also happening to me on the XAA firmware (have unlocked NA variant) with the stock messaging and Google messages.
So I'll ask the question begging to be asked (at least by me): How does one disable this messaging app and use "stock messaging" app?
Thanks in advance....

Just get a app disabler for Samsung from play store like BK Disabler.
If I were you, just download Android Messages. It's simple and fast.
However, I do not recommend disabling stock messaging, unless you don't like getting EAS (Amber/Weather/Presidential Alert)
Having the exact same issues and it's driving me crazy because I really like this phone. I don't get notifications for any of my apps but when I open them I can see the new messages. A reset seems to fix the problem but it only lasts about an hour before it starts doing the same thing. I've tried using different messaging apps but the same thing. And the fact that I don't get notifications for other apps it can't just be a text messaging issue right?
Happened to me for almost 2 months but haven't had an issue in about a week. Called t mobile, they created a ticket and said they'll be working on it. Few days after speaking to them, problem went away.
This has been happening intermitantly for me as well. It's been bad the past three days. I'm currently in coversations with T-mo's engineering team and they seem to be coming up with a bunch of dead ends. It's not a location based thing as it's been happening over a 20 mile radius in the past few days for me. Other people on T-mo network that I'm freinds with or I work with aren't having any problems. I'm wondering if just a fresh SIM card could solve it?
I have data connection although it seems a little sluggish compared to when I originally got the phone. Similar to OP I've tried all the "G's" modes, with wifi calling on, with it off, with cellular network preffered with wifi calling on and off. With Textra, with stock messaging app. I've factory reset to no avail. I've pulled and re-inserted the SIM card to no avail. This is incredibly frustrating for a flagship phone on a network where I've had no previous issues.
UPDATE: T-Mobile sent me a new SIM card and that seems to have cleared up the issues. Not sure if it just hapened to coincide with T-Mo tower fixes or anything else like that in my area but I'm back to normal operation. Anybody else experiencing this I recommend you push customer service to send you a new sim.
my husband and i are having a strange issue where we can message pictures and video clips to other people that don't have the s8, or aren't on tmobile and they'll send and receive just fine, but when we try to send to each other, the first attempt to send fails, but the second attempt goes through?
