Messages not sending - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been having an issue with some of my messages not sending. I will send the message but it will keep the envelope with the clock next to it. The problem is it sends the message like days later. idk if this is a phone issue or a network issue. Idk if this is a new issue or not i just have been texting alot more and now have an issue with it. I have the newest version of CM mod.

That sometimes happens to me too, I think it's a carrier issue, but it hasn't been doing that for a while now.
It's not the ROM, because that stuff happened to me before i rooted my phone.

Sms issue

Hi, lately I noticed that when the phone rings for an incoming sms there are infact 2 of them: the problem is that the first one often shows a timestamp 5-6 hours earlier!
Is it an operator problem? Someone else having this issue?
Thanks
Today the issue showed in a different way: I opened the inbox folder and saw an unread sms that i wasn't aware of.
A couple of seconds later the phone rang the sms tone but no new messages showed up. I opened the unread message and saw that it was sent 3 hours earlier.
Am I the only one with this issue?
never heard/seen that...it could be operator error or maybe clock setting incorrect?
i get that thing with voicemails sometimes....
i recently got a voicemail that was sent 2 days ago and as for the time stamp, thats when your buddy sent the sms to you. Its a network issue not a phone, so dont worry
Thanks guys for the answers.
The clock is correct and I was thinking to a network issue too, the only thing that made me wonder was that - sometimes - the sms shows up when I wake up the phone.
Can you give a little more information?
Operator, how frequently this happens, if a reset helps?
Reason I ask is i'm on T-Mobile in the UK and have something similar that happens, however at times I don't get the txt at all until I either send or make a call, which seems to 'unclog' the message.
I'm pretty sure this is a network problem, and a friend of mine has contacted T-Mobile who confirmed they have had network problems since the start of the new year. However I've not had this confirmed. Anyone able to verify this also?
Iv had this alot with my handset. Sometimes theres a message sitting in my inbox, and i am unaware of this. the phone only rings wen i go into the inbox and have a look for myself. all of a sudden the phone rings and iv got a new message. This is a big issue for Tmobile!! if there is alot of us having this problem, it could be ROM related as iv still got the standard tmobile shipped ROM.

Old SMS Resending On Restarts

This has been happening a lot lately, I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue as well. Every time I boot up my phone an old SMS will send to its original recipient. Needless to say I'm getting tired of people asking "Why did you resend that to me?"
I'm running Cyn 4.2.3.1 (but it has occurred on his other builds as well) I'm using handcent and stock message app.
Any other additional info anyone would need to help with this issue just let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I used to get this on the early hero builds.. along with some other sms issues, but I've never noticed it since I switched back to CM..
I'm having this same issue. It seems that when I reboot my phone it clears out the text messages I've sent and received the last few days and resends one from a couple days ago.

Missing text messages?

I have had my G1 since about a month after it has come out and I have never had any problems with missing text messages. I'm a heavy texter so they are important to me. I rooted my phone a while after I got it and still never had any problems, but recently I have been have problems with getting and receiving them. I have gone through many roms from hero's to cyanogen to others without problems. But they have started about a month or two ago. I currently have Cloverdale's Blue_Haze-Eclair_2.1-v1.7 with Haykuro's special spl. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Is the problem intermittent, or do you miss your texts 100% of the time?
Do you have access to ADB so you can get a log of what's happening when you get a text?
I once couldn't receive texts because I switched from a Hero-based ROM back to a standard ROM, and the data format of the Messaging app is different. The phone would get the message, but the Messaging app would crash before saving it due to the error and I didn't have a clue until I looked at the log, so that's one possibility.
Well the problem is intermittent. I get them most of the times but there are a lot of times when I don't get them. I don't have access to ADB. Is it difficult to do that? That is an interesting perspective though. I have never thought about it that way.
i had this problem and then i had a problem where i would get the text notification and when i go to open it its like it disappears and the new text isn't there. i've had friends tell me they texted me a few times and i never got anything, i was running CM's rom and a few weeks ago i switched to super D and have not had any problems with texts whatsoever. i'm not sure if it's a rom thing or what but its weird and i racked my brain trying to figure why its happening and how to fix it. id suggest maybe using super d's rom for a few days and see if it solves anything but i swear ever since i switched i've been getting and sending all my texts
Yeahh I have had the disappearing texts problem also. So do you really think if I switch to super d that the problem will be fixed?
And also do you think you can post the link the super D page so that I can check it out? Is it updated regularly though because I also rely heavily on updated roms.
I had that problem with other Hero ROM's. It solved when I flashed the latest MghtyMax ROM. Also install Handcent SMS then go to settings and activate the "Autoretrieve", "Show pop-up" and "Self check" options.

I'm not promising anything but since I switched I haven't missed not 1 text and it's goin on about 3 weeks now and I text everyday...heres the link for the rom, you do have to have the danger spl but it's super easy to install just make sure you have the right radio. if you need any help just hit me up and i'll try my best

cyanogen texting?

my nexus from time to time says that the text messages that i sent doesnt send. i would get a notification saying that it didnt send, however when i go to resend, sometimes it goes through and sometimes it doesnt. my friends have told me that they do get all the texts messages everytime, so they get them even if my phone says it didnt send. its reaaaaaaalllllyy annoying to see that notification every time. im running cyanogenmod 5.0.6 any thoughts?
oh btw fellas, i work at ATT and i changed my sim card and all that jazz so its not the service what so ever
I have similar issues every now and then. Usually occurs when I am sending texts fast.
I have the same issue minus that all my text usually don't go through. I usually end up rephrasing what I wanted to send and it sends.
it happens from time to time for me too, i sometimes have to reboot

[Q] SMS Htc Hero CDMA Problem

I'm postivie i received two text, from my self, and my friend sitting next to me; They were delayed until i made a phone call. Any fixes? Surely would appreciate it!
Rom - Stock 2.1 Rooted
I'm thinking of going back to Cyanogen 6.1 when this problem is fixed
Thanks!
Are you going through a SMS app, like Handcent, or using the stock messaging program? I had a huge delay in sending/receiving texts when I used those programs. If you are using a non-stock program, try using the stock one to see how it responds first.
Yeah, i am using the stock app, but ill try using handcent and see if it works like that
Sorry, Handcent was the one giving me problems, not the stock app. How is the other data flowing, like browser and what not? Seen any drop in data coverage or anything? Do you have the newest baseband radio?

Do you have a "low space" warning? I know I've had problems receiving mms/texts when I'm low on internal space. Once I cleared up the space (>19MB Free I believe) by uninstalling a bunch of apps I never use, all the texts came in
Just a thought
Well, i got it fixed, went to the sprint store, (unrooted of course) and they fixed it within an hour, they reset the entire phone, not the same reset as Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.
text and phone calls not getting through
my wife and i both got HTC incredible with Verizon service, this been almost two months ago. my phone is completely awesome, hers on the other hand has an issue her phone will stop receiving text, and or phone calls out of the blue. we will be texting back and forth and all the sudden hers just stops getting my text, so i will call her and it will ring on my end, till her voice mail picks up. this has happen few times a day ever since she has had the phone. if she makes a call out or restarts the phone then she will get all the texts, and voice messages at once. this happen with stock phone apps and ones like handcent. it happen when phone was s-on and after i rooted and installed new kernels and all that jazz. i have talk to Verizon and they talk me through reset and few other things but still doing it. guess i am going to have to see about taking it in, unless anyone has any other advise i have not thought of. all of her software versions are same as mine.

You might have better luck asking on the dinc forums.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
not just a dinc issue...!?
yea, i know, i put it here because, it seems like same issue this guy was having and i have been searching around and have found many instances of the same problem on many different android phones.
i am un-rooting it and reinstalling the original software and taking it into Verizon tomorrow to see if they can do anything. should have done it sooner but every time i would try a fix it would seem like it was fixed for a day or so and then back to the same thing.
i will copy it over there just for posterity, and hopefully i can amend it tomorrow evening with the fix and a solved!
