Hi all,
I'm currently using Incbusus' Super Eclari Lite Rls5, but I've had this issues off and on since I got my Vogue, and I started on Warm Donut RLS3.
I use text messaging a lot, mostly to talk to my girlfriend who lives in another state. However, I have a lot of issue with either my phone never receiving some text messages, or receiving them incredibly late.
Is there something I should be doing differently? Do other people have this issue? What can I do to fix this?
That is a known issue with that build that im having trouble resolving. Most of the other builds should not have this issue.
so you're saying try one of the other builds, and I shouldn't have issues? Alright, I really like RLS5, but this is a pretty important feature for me.

I know its like beating a dead horse, has anyone on TMOBILE been able to consistently get MMS messages? I have tried and tried and can't seem to get them to work. I can send them fine all day. It never receives them though. I have ran several different CAB files to try can get them going. I have even set them up manually too. Anyone managed to figure something out?

I have inconsistencies with receiving as well. It's been that way for awhile, but I'm hop[ing the next batch of 6.1 roms has this fixed. I believe Ivan got it to work on his clean rom.
Same here.. Add me to the lineup... Sending fine, receiving is the problem.. Touch 3.0
right now im testing out open touch biggy and I haven't had any issues like I did with some other 6.1's. I thought I would but so far so good. I really like this rom its the first I've tried other than itje's work. these guys really know how to cook. hopefully opentouch 4.0 will have all the bugs worked out
I hajve been helping my mom with the MT3G. I keep up with her on Latitude, and half of the time, it reports her position as Espoo, Finland. When she first got the phone, it showed her in Chicago quite a bit. Problem is, she has never left south Texas! She also complains that Weatherbug and her other GPS based apps report this as well.. Has any one else seen this problem and can anyone think of a fix?
well recently ive had problems where it puts me in PA even though im in TX but i never went international XD
im pretty sure my issue is software and hero related, but is she running the stock rom?
if so it could be a hardware problem. call tmo and complain, they should replace it for a working one

ive been getting more and more failed texts lately, the phone just cant send them, sometimes i reset the phone and they work, sometimes not. All of my friends with iphones and blackberrys say its happened to them maybe once or twice a year. So is it TMobile or is this just another in the seemingly endless list of android's failures? Android is my first smart phone, my g1, mytouch and nexus have all had similar problems im just wondering if other popular smart phones have the level of problems android does....i realize all phones have issues and android is still young (although that excuse is getting pretty tired) but its just all the damn time with these phones. I love android but at some point the phone's got to either work or im out...thanks
what messaging app are you using? Handcent seems to work for me rather well. I'm not too sure about the native messaging as I don't use it.
Same crap happens to me and I'm using stock sms.

Try out handcent. If you have problems, the developer is very easy to get in touch with and actually works with you to find the problem

Used it before, same issues. I don't think it matters what you use, I think its a bug in the Android OS itself.
from time to time, i've experienced SMS send failures on all of my smartphones, WinMo & Android. a soft reset/reboot seems to correct the problem. to the OP, what ROM are you using? have you asked T-Mo if they've been having issues with SMS messages? hope you get it resolved soon!
first of all, sorry that my post sounds so grouchy. My phone isnt rooted, but i do recall similar problems on my g1 and it was rooted, mytouch was not rooted but had same problems. Its not so much THAT it happens, because im sure it happens across the board to all phones, its just that it happens about every other day which seems a bit much for competitive smartphone software (of course, i am not smart so ive no idea that its the software and not the hardware or carrier, im just poorly connecting what dots i do have...) I had the problem with stock app and i tried chomp, same issues so i went back to stock, again same issue so i currently have handcent (which is an awesome app but i just hate having two icons/apps for the same purpose when im only using one of them).
the issue happens with handcent, and every time before restarting the phone i try the stock app and it doesnt work so im guessing its not the particular app, TMobile definitely has poor signal quality compared to the other major carriers, but i have 3g and full bars here in san antonio for the most part. If its not a particular app, i assume there is something in the android system that text messaging uses regardless of what app is being used; since i have 3g and full bars im led to believe its something in the android system? But again, android smartphones are the only smartphones ive had so i dont know if its just the nature of texting although like i mentioned the other two phones i have several friends who own report very very rare if any text messaging issues...
android is such an impressive software, so sophisticaed that i can understand that some part could mess up another part and cant be resolved without messing up yet another part. I cant even begin to imagine how to resolve all of the software issues android has, but if apple can do it, im confident google can too. i just hope the forthcoming litigation doesnt affect the efforts, i already feel like ive been waiting for some fixes for a long time, but thats probably due at least in part to my extreme, childish, and uncontrollable impatience...
Everytime I have issues with SMS messages, I am always using a HTC ROM. That is why I stopped running Hero ROM's on my G1. It would just not recieve the messages at all sometimes. I tried the Desire ROM on my N1 and it worked great for a while, then I started having issues with the messaging app (stock one). It would list the threads incorrectly by contact, but when you clicked on them, it would be the right contact. For example, I had a conversation with Jim, it would show what Jim said in his last message to me, but the name next to it would show Carl. I clicked on it to see the whole thread, and it would show Jim's name next to all of his messages. This was okay, until it started sending messages to Carl, when it was supposed to send messages to Jim.
I am not saying the HTC ROM is to blame, It might have been the back up and restore software I was using and how it is affected by crossing from a CM ROM to the Desire ROM.
Is anyone else having issues using the app HeyTell? The only ROM i can get it to work properly on is the stock AT&T 2.1, it doesn't even work on the stock 2.2 update. Basically on stock 2.1 I can send and receive messages perfectly without missing a message or having to close the app. If I update to 2.2 or flash a custom ROM, I can send about 2 messages and then it stops sending or receiving, I have to close the app and then try to send the message again. Once I open the app again, whatever the person sent to me is lost and they have to send it again.
Just putting this out there, I have emailed the developer and they are stating that they have no issues. I don't know what else to try, I have cleared the app's cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, I am out of ideas.
I've never even heard of this app before... I'll install it now and tell you how it goes.
EDIT: Okay, I obviously have no friends on this at the moment... But I've been clicking around the app and it seems fine? I'm using Paragon RC6 right now. The GPS/Map component seems to be working fine anyway... I can't really send a voice clip or message through it (no-one to send it to).
EDIT2: Okay, I somehow sent a voiceclip/message to myself and I've recorded it, sent it, and then received it fine. I'll keep playing around with this a little bit further in the morning.
I really appreciate it, it will work at first, and then just stop sending and receving, the little sending icon just spins and spins...then you have to force close it and then start it again, then it works for a few messages and then stops again.
I'm having the same problem with the HeyTell app. It's pretty much hit or miss for me, sometimes it works good for a while, sometimes it sends blank messages. I have a ton of friends using this app on iPhones or other Android devices and they aren't having problems at all.
I have emailed the developer and he states that it works perfectly for him on his phone, whether or not that is true, I am not sure.
Not trying to thread jack but for some reason my hey tell doesn't get messages on time. I'll be next to a buddy and I'll get a message that he sent hours ago. Does anyone else have this issue? I just have the 2.2 froyo update, no custom roms.
I thought for sure HeyTell would work on Official 2.2 as well but I have the same issue your stating. Like I said though, the developer states he has no issues...I am not sure what is going to happen.
HeyTell Support
Are you sure you contacted HeyTell support? I don't have any record of sending a "works for me" answer on a report like this...drop me another email to refresh my memory at [email protected] if you can - thanks in advance!
So! We're aware of an issue on the Galaxy S series phones (Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, Vibrant) introduced by 2.2 firmware (Samsung only, 2.2 makes HeyTell better on other phones). Symptoms appear to be spotty network reporting, media player issues (inconsistent record behavior), and the OS killing HeyTell during screen dims.
We're currently working hard to find a workaround for affected users (and trying to get more info from Samsung), but in the meantime, if you could do us a favor and email us your firmware revision number and any logs you have related to the behavior, we'd greatly appreciate it!
Since I had the issue with Stock 2.2 and not with Stock 2.1 I am running Stock 2.1 until there is a fix. If your asking me for logs I cannot help you there unless I put 2.2 on my phone. i am currently running HeyTell version 181, I am willing to load 2.2 and work with you and get you information, just let me know. I love this app, but my phone is kinda laggy and slow running 2.1 and I want to be running 2.2.
I"m also using HeyTell on 2.2 and having quite a bit of troubles. I'd be happy to send you logs if you could explain to me how to do so. Thanks!
Just a little update, I finally got tired of stock 2.1 last night and decided to try out MIUI. I was pleased to find that after sending more than 10 messages back and forth, HeyTell has not failed yet.... I will be testing all day at work today, I am not sure if they updated the app or if something in MIUI allows it to work. I just thought I would update those few of you that have had the same problem as me.
Everything is still working fine with HeyTell, I am running MIUI Beta 6 and HeyTell is working perfectly. I did notice an update to from the market, I am hoping that could be a fix for other cutom Roms and Stock 2.2.
As MIUI has no samsung crap in it, it should work fine, since it seems to be a samsung issue. Runs fine on CM7 as well.
We put a workaround into builds 1.1.3 -- that fixed it for stock, but didn't catch all of the custom ROMs, so we spun 1.1.4 - give that a whirl and it should work. If anyone runs into this issue again, shoot us an email with your model number (Menu > Profile > Email Support sends this to us, so that may be the fastest method, but also don't forget to include a description of the issue you hit).
Oh sweet so HeyTell should be working fine now with stock 2.2? I will test it now, thanks alot!
Ever since I downloaded the update the app works great! Thanks!
Hey Tell Message Queue Issues
I've been having a problem for a while now where message don't come in automatically, as if they're caught up in the queue somehow. I have to exit HeyTell multiple times, manually click on the message, hit the stop and play buttons, or multiple combinations of all of these just to get a single message to play sometimes. I'm using a Samsung SGS3 with Synergy. Any way to fix this issue? Thanks much!
Hi guys, I started having issues with my SMS this morning. Now, I can't send messages reliably, I'm not sure if I'm receiving them properly now either. On top of that, I am was having issues with 3g, sometimes the icon would not appear at all, and others it would not load web pages or send data via internet enabled apps, i.e. facebook. I must stress that I did not change absolutely anything, and that it just started happening. could this be a flaw with cognition? or is it just AT&T being... well... AT&T?
I assume it's just AT&T being AT&T, I had issues with that exact scenario about a month ago. Cog is working fine for me, but you can always try to backup and re-flash and see if that helps.

If it persists I will re-flash... pain, but what ever. Any-who I'm about to get an inspire 4g anyways so meh.
Thanks for reassuring me that I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem. I tend to have one-in-6-billion luck like that.
Please post in the Cog sticky instead of creating new threads.
oh and for the record I'm running 3.04. Looking in to 4.1 anyways, wondering if I can update it without having to wipe everything. Can I restore apps + Data if I go from 3.04 to 4.1, or will that cause all sorts of hairy issues still?
No problem at all. Did you do your research around the forums and see all the reviews about the inspire not being all that it's cracked up to be? Not trying to sway your decision or anything, just making sure you know what you'll be getting into.

I don't think I wiped anything when I updated, but when I restored system apps with TiBu, I got some FC's when it came to a few of the system apps and data, don't recall which ones though.

I've been fiddling with it at the at&t store... I like it a lot but I'm looking in to the possibility of getting a different carrier's phone unlocked... I'll check out some of the discussion though. thanks
im not a big fan of how hard it is to remove the battery panel and the panel where the memory card would be at. but the phone looks nice. androidcentral has a video review about it
