I've had this problem a couple times now, and specifically three or four times in the past six hours.
With the stock Messenger App, auto delete set to occur after threads have reached 200, again this is all the stock settings. I'll get the standard notification sound that a new message has been received. But instead I get a notification that says something along the lines of:
'Incoming message blocked, message limit reached'.
After this occurred the first time tonight I deleted all my longer threads (all of which were still under 200 messages). This is what I did the first time months ago when it first occurred, and haven't had issues since. Anyway the problem persisted this time, and I ended up having to delete all my messages and threads, not to mention I didn't receive upwards of 4 messages tonight, which really could end up screwing things up for me.
It appears that either there's an overall limit for maximum messages regardless of thread length, which is being reached, or maybe a maximum amount of threads. Either way it sucks.
I would have thought this to be a pretty common problem, but wasn't able to find anything.
Look at your free space in /data partition (free space for apps). Did you notice "low on space" notification? You probably had less than 20MB left, and under this condition incoming SMS are blocked.

It would seem that it sorts the thread by the time on the message for incoming texts, but by the time on the device for outgoing texts. This means it relies on the clock on the device being spot on when sorting the messages in the thread. It turns out mine was a couple of minutes fast, so it meant that in a fast-paced conversation I just had, it was placing replies before the questions, because the timestamp on the message coming in was a minute earlier than the timestamp on the question going out.
Sure, I'll make sure my clock is correct (can't the device do that for itself, from the carrier?), but it's still potentially an issue because it only has to be a minute out.
About the nexus randomly refusing to send texts when I have full bars and 3g, is there a way I can make my superphone send text messages again without a reboot? And is there something done by the user that causes it or is it just another screw up? I ran a search :
http://www.google.com/m?hl=en&gl=us...droid-browser-key&q=nexus+one+texts+wont+send
but all of the posts I found included failed calls but I'm pretty sure I can still make calls so I don't know if my issue is different. Thanks
P.S. is this considered a bug in that we can expect a fix from Google? And is there an organized system open to the public not just of all the bugs but of all the bugs we can expect Google to address? I think I've seen it before but I can't remember how to find it. I ran a search but this is as close as I got.

I don't have an answer as I have this issue randomly also.
I didn't have it for a few weeks and this week suddenly it happens everyday. Besides rebooting, nothing I do fixes it.
One weird thing is I can still send text messages through Google Voice, but sms and "sometimes" phone calls don't work. It's sooooooo frustrating!!
i have not ever experienced this issue, but i read about it alot. is it because you guys are using the stock messaging app, and i have been using handcent since day 1?
possibly. ive used the native messaging app almost exclusively, but chomp had the same issue for me.
Lately, after a few failed attempts I can get the message to send without a reboot maybe 25% of the time, on the other hand the problem seems to be becoming more frequent for me...wish i knew more about this stuff.
I've had 2 problems with my G1, one of which for quite a while.
Starting off with the most severe and recent one, my phone has been randomly draining by data connection while I'm asleep. A couple of weeks ago, I woke up with my 3G turned off because I had reached my limit. As soon as I check my Netcounter, it seems like transfers up to 250MB had been made. But the phone was lying idle on my stand! I have no idea why this may happen and I believe I have a log that may have the problem included within.
As for my long lasting problem, my girlfriend has been complaining my phone sends her repeat message countless times, at random times. Sometimes 3 at a time, sometimes just 1.
I have no idea why this is happening either, but since I have free texts, I've been ignoring the problem so far.
Hope some of you can help me out with these.
Thanks!

For the first problem, hit menu->settings->accounts and sync -> turn off background data and autosync. Your phone automatically syncs your information with your google account, including gmail, contacts, calendar, market, etc. By turning this off your phone will no longer automatically update that, so make sure that you turn it on when using wifi every once in a while so you don't waste your data.
As for the second problem I have no idea, but I too noticed it does that sometimes.
Well, usually I'm not too concerned about data limits because my monthly limit is 300MB, more than acceptable for a phone, in my opinion. However, how can an idle phone sync text-based data up to a size of 250MB? It's like my phone was streaming a tv show to keep itself entertained until it had to ring the alarm!
It's happened again just now (a couple of minutes ago) and as soon as I get a USB cable, I'll transfer the log onto here. Hopefully someone can figure out the problem.

Then you must have installed an app which is using more data then you are aware of. Either try uninstalling unwanted apps or use an app that blocks internet access (I think one of them is droid firewall something, and I think autostarts does this too. check for yourself).
Sometimes while i'm playing games that require a bigger amount of memory i don't receive text messages at all or i receive them with a delay of 5-10 minutes, also when the phone is laggy i don't receive all of them. I think this problem is because of the message app (the stock one) is also laggy and can't receive the messages from the carrier. So, is there a fix for this or set a priority for the message app, if this is the cause?
and if you withdraw this app and leave the normal phone functions?
Well, if i don't play games or use many programs, the phone works pretty well and i receive all the messages, but after one or two days of use, even without playing, it gets laggy and will start to not receive some of text messages.
This happend to me to when playing heavy games. Did a test, while playing fifa12 i didn't receive a message and while playing world of goo everything is ok.
I have had the same problem on OneCosmic's Beta 2.
Playing Heavy Gunner and then people asked me why I haven't responded to some messages that I never got! Its quite a bad problem, hopeful it is a reported bug in the ICS development pages. I don't have enough posts yet, so someone else shall need to post it.... pretty pretty please.
I have an XT1095 Rooted on stock 6.0 and the stock text messaging app has the annoying habit of not playing a notification sound, or vibrating, if the messaging app is open. This means that if I'm typing in landscape mode I have no idea if the person I'm sending a text to sends another message to me because I can't see or hear it. Their new message could possibly negate whatever it is that I'm typing so I waste time typing out a message that I end up erasing and starting over. This happens frequently. Even more annoying is when I finish sending a text message and set the phone down without locking it and without closing the text app. Since the back of the phone is curved it usually rocks to the side slightly as I set it down which puts it into landscape mode with the keyboard showing, totally covering the screen, and then I have no clue if/when I receive a new message during the time that the phone is waiting to timeout. I've waited an hour for a reply to a message that had already come during the 30 second timeout period and I had no clue it was there.
I've searched everywhere for how to turn on text notifications even when the app is open but I can't find anything. There's another thread on here where the person has a problem where they don't get text notifications when they're on a phone call. I have that same problem but it doesn't bother me that much. That's the closest thing I could find here. On some other site someone had the same problem with Lollipop on a Samsung, but the reply was that it was Samsung's tweak and there was nothing they could do about it. Am I also stuck with it since there don't seem to be any settings for it? Or am I having a moron moment?
