[Q] Not receiving all texts - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get some texts but I'm finding more and more that people respond to my texts and I never get them. I dont have Advanced Task Killer but I do use autokiller. Is it that? Could it be some other program or maybe my ROM? This is driving me crazy.

I have the same problem with mine. I've checked my friends' text logs to confirm that they're not being mean and lying their way out of not texting me, and my phone has the most sporadic SMS reception and sending. I'll receive doubles of some texts, and fail to receive others at all. Friends only appear to receive 1/3 of texts I've been sending, and this is under both Apex and S7.

I am running Apex also and I even deleted Handcent, didnt fix problem.

MMS Failed?

I dont know if there's something wrong with my phone.
Because everytime I send a MMS.
It says "Message Sent"
But then they sometimes receive it.
But most of the time they dont.
...
Just for clarification, is it an issue of the recipient not receiving it at all or not being able to open the mms? I'm also with att and can't count how many times I've sent mms only to hear my buds tell me they either couldn't open it or had no audio, which is very ****ing annoying when you play the sent message and it plays as intended. From all the fixes I've found on xda, still having this issue from the hermes days and wondering if apple is not so crazy for nixing mms for email; at least the email method is consistant. If your recipients aren't receiving at all though, there are alot of factors involved; your mms settings, recipient has no internet...

[REQ]Auto-Send SMS txt message on connection

Hello, I was wondering if there was a developer out there who would be able to solve this little issue. On the Fuze, when you dnt have service, and try to send a txt message, it just says, cannot send, and sends it to your drafts folder. Now when you re-connect, it doesnt send the messages in your draft folder, so you forget about them, and never send them... Could it be possible to make a tweak or program that at each re-connect, the phone checks the drafts, and if there are any un-sent messages, it will send them? I will be happy to buy someone some lovely coffee for their services. Thanks.
i second that. i have poor reception in my command center and im constantly drifting in and out of service and not sending texts
BUMP... Anyone??
I would like this too!
Could be very nice!
i fourth that request.
YES!! Please. This is very annoying if you're in basements often.
I also would like that...!!!!
It seems all the chefs are busy....
=(
what we need is a program that will allow incoming messages to come in altho the last txt wasnt sent.
what happens is, when you realize you havnt been getting texts for the past hr you take a look at you texts and see that the last text couldnt be sent which prevents incoming texts.
Oh i really need this. At my dad's house signal is patchy so i have to wait for my TP to find signal before i can repush send... bugs the f..k into me.
Yes please!

Well, I don't think that is the way we should go. Sometimes I get 25 messages in one hour, sometimes 2 a day. And I would have to go into the messages folder to see that the last message didn't get sent but was put in the drafts folder.
I would be more then happy to kick in a few bucks to the person willing to work on this.

[Q] Sending/Recieving Picture Messages

Just wondering if anyone else has problems with sending or recieving picture messages. It's hard to tell what the culprit is. I'm using Handcent now, but I noticed it with the stock SMS client too. Does anyone else have a problem, or is it possibly because I live in an edge area? Thanks.
I've read lots of posts where people cannot send MMS larger than 100k on an Edge network but have no problems on 3G.
As for receiving, I've had issues with receiving MMS from my friends that have iPhone4. They send me one and I get no notification whatsoever that they even tried to send it to me until they send me another text asking, "did I get it?" I've tested it by receiving MMS from Samsung Eternity, iPhone 3GS, and another ATT non-smartphone and I've received the messages fine. So far, just problems with iphone4.
Also, I don't receive MMS if I'm on wifi.

Lumia 822 not sending texts

I have a lumia 822 and every time I try to text, I get a failed message.
I get to make calls and even get HSPA 3G data, but I just can't get texts to work
any help?
If you're doing anything outside of normal messages (long ones, multiple recipients, images, funny characters, etc.) it may be trying to use MMS instead, which sometimes requires some configuration. Check the Messaging settings to see if it's using MMS instead of SMS. Beyond that, try sending a very simple message to just one person. Better yet, have one person send a simple message to you, then try to reply (if you get it).
SMS uses a mechanism inherent in the way modern cell phones work. You don't even need a data connection for it; if you can send and receive calls, you can (in theory) send and receive texts.
If it's really not working, I'd suggest taking it back to the store; there's something wrong.
I read that it's an issue with the phones, but some have reported that there IS in fact a fix for it, was hoping someone here knew.
I can receive texts no problem but sending always fails.
What carrier are you using? I would contact them first, I had a similar issue with my Tmob 8X.
Any update on this issue? I recently switched to SimpleMobile from AT&T and the text messages are not getting sent. Incoming messages work fine!

Can't recieve SMS Text Messages (but can send them)

Hey everyone. I just got my global unlocked Mi Mix (6gb, 256gb), and I can't receive texts. I'm on At&T, and I'm getting 4g VoLTE all the time. I can send texts, and I can make and receive calls, but I'm not getting any texts that are sent to me. I've tried switching to 3g, and I've tried the stock messaging app, Google Messenger, and Textra. Nothing has fixed the problem. I really want to keep this phone, but I have to be able to receive texts.
Anyone have suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I have this same problem. To make matters worse - mine happens intermittently too. For example, sometimes I could be texting someone and receive some of their texts, then suddenly a few texts in I no longer get their responses. Not sure what's going on.
I suspect it has to do with the Contact Manager APK, but not sure how or why.

Are you on ATT? And if this is a software issue, putting on a custom ROM might resolve it. I guess.
I've got texting working now. I did two things and I don't know which is the solution.
First, I put my sim in an ATT phone I had laying around. I sent some texts and took some calls on that phone. Then I put the sim back in my phone while wifi was turned off. I did this whole thing because I saw a thread on an ATT forum regarding the same SMS issue but with a different phone. The ATT moderator suggested doing those steps.
Second, I downloaded Pulse and set it as my default SMS app. So far, texting is now working without any problems.
I cannot receive sms
