Hello,
Ever since I have gotten this phone, I have run into problems occasionally with messages failing to send out. They simply get stuck at "sending".
Mtmichaelson informed me that on the VZW community forums this is a main complaint of the phone. I spoke with tech support and of course they said they have never heard of this before and simply wanted me to perform a factory reset (Which I had already done previously, even before I was rooted) . I even went out to get a new sim card.
Today though, I think I may have found out what causes it. It appears it's happening from sending messages consecutively too fast.
For example, say I sent you a message at 11:00:01 AM saying "SCREW", followed by "YOU" at 11:00:04 while the first message is still attempting to send. (It doesn't always happen, but when it does its usually from sending messages consecutively too fast. At least with my own testing)
The first one will send and the second one will fail to send, along with any other messages you attempt to send, until you either put your phone in airplane mode or reboot.
I have corrected the situation by using Handcent and applying a 1.5 second delay of when I press send. Now, my texting problems have been solved. (Hopefully)
I live in Houston and there have been no reports of VZW network issues here, and I've had a Tbolt and a Charge and never had this issue.
Thanks,
Samsuck
I've run into the same thing numerous times. Always seem to happen when im in a low signal area.
Do you ever have the issue where only half of 2 part messages comes through?
yup.. i have problems with low signal texts, and im not a big handcent fan... can never get the stock notifications to stop so i always get two notifications per sms/mms... oh well.

I actually prefer GO SMS but the lack of nice free themes suck.
All you have to do is go to your stock messaging app, hit menu, settings, and scroll down to notifications, and turn it off
Sigh..
Nevermind.

This is the biggest, most frustrating thing I've ever experienced. I'm glad I'm not the only person, but this is my only gripe with this phone.
When all my messages get stuck in "sending" I have to put it in airplanes mode one time for every message I'm trying to send.
I also have a horrible problem with not receiving all the sections of long text message.

That's not it, me setting a delay in handcent to prevent the texting issue didn't work.
Unfortunately, I think I may have to get a new phone, this is happening way too often, and as much as I love the phone, and Revolt rom. I am tired of my girlfriend *****ing at me for not replying, when I have it's just that I encounter the "stuck at sending" problem, at least 3 times a day

Mine has only gotten stuck twice, but both times I cleared it by calling voicemail. Worth a try, easier than a reboot.

one solution i just read is to delete your texts. once they start to become full the phone has a problem sending. try erasing your threads then it should work. i just googled this problem since i ran into it and am testing it now
I will be following this as it happens to me excessively.
Same here. i thought it had something to do with the handoff between wifi and 4G, but after reading this thread, I'm not so sure. For me it always seems to happen when I've been connected to a wifi network and switched to 4G. I'm testing not running wifi at all today to see if it happens again.
Same problem here. I concur that it appears to be an issue with sending text messages "too quickly."
I also called Verizon, got bumped up to "Tier 2 Support" and spent well over an hour on the phone doing every little thing they asked. I am going to try using the Handcent delay feature and see if that helps.
For those of us on Revolt...Does anyone know if/think it may have something to do with v1.5 still using V4 and not having the latest radio update? Or is this a problem for those using the stock rom and V6 as well?

Yup, sending messages to quickly is my theory as well but the handcent delay didn't work for me. I set it to 1.5 seconds which I figured should be enough.
Do any devs have any insight on how or why this may be occuring? It'd be awesome if someone knew of a fix. I'm pretty confident that it's a software issue and not phone related

It happens when your text threads are full. If you erase your texts they send. The the revolution had trouble with dealing with the threads

I really don't think that has anything to do with it. The threads can't get "full" unless you set a limit (which I didn't), and I was still having the issue even after deleting all of my texts (one of the many things Verizon had me do on the phone). I'm no dev, so I could be wrong about this, but I feel like a fix that easy would've been diagnosed by now.
I agree it's a software issue of some sort...it doesn't seem consistent enough to be a hardware issue. There's threads on the LG forums about it. The handcent delay seems to have helped me, or at least I don't find myself wanting to throw my phone across the room as frequently.
On a lighter note, while on the phone with Verizon, the lady had me turn off my WiFi because "When it's turned on your phone sends the text messages through the wifi."

Verizon T1 tech's don't know anything. Their solutions to everything is usually a "factory reset"
SMS is in no way sent via WI-FI lol

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.
hey guys,
My friend has an annoying problem. when she gets a call a blue android pops up in the black with a speech bubble and three dots in it. She is on stock 2.1
She never noticed this before..
Is this normal? i rooted and flashed mine as soon as i got it so i have never seen this before.
Just curious as to what it is and what it means...
Anyone? anyone? bueller?
Any chance you could put up a screenshot (or picture) of the error screen? It's not one I've seen before, so seeing what you're seeing might help in the solution.
A few questions: Could it be a contact that is missing a picture? You said its stock, have they applied any themes, or apps that may change contact data? Is it an "error" message? Does it happen with every inbound call, regardless of who?
Sent from my Captivate running Continuum 5.5
I saw this on my phone before flashing a custom ROM. I don't think it was an error, but I always wondered what the heck it was. Never had a chance to get a screen shot of it...
Haven't seen it since moving away from stock!!

As far as I know, yes it happens with every incoming and outgoing call...I personally have not seen it. I do know all about her phone tho. It is non rooted, so a SS will not happen. she also has not applied any themes at all or installed anything that affects contact data. I do not believe it is an error message. I will be seeing her tomorrow and ill let you know then.
The reason why I am curious is because it is something i have not seen before or heard of before either...
Ive got that little guy on my phone as well. Im on stock 2.3.3 KF1 released last week. Called my self at work today to play around...
I think the icon is to show that you are connected and talking through the handset. Its not a button and it does not appear until the call is connected. Also if you press speaker it goes away. I dont think it does anything, its just a square head guy with two eyes and a speech bubble with three dots in it.
LOL....its the noise cancellation feature. click it
Greetings!
Lots of my friends have been telling me that my phone sends texts 3-5 times. I've had the vivid since the day it came out and I've used multiple roms. I currently have holics on it, but i've heard it even when I was on stock. So, I'm like hmmm? Usually a reboot fixes it but I dont want to do that every few hours. Could it be AT&T? Vivid? GOsms Pro? It just really bugs me, because I know I hate receiving dup texts. I usually hear "wtf why did you send that 3 times?" a day..
Anyone else having this issue?

I have had this happen ever since i activated a iphone 3G on my account years ago. I get multiple sent and received.. i dont know what caused it, but i just ignore it.
i find it happens with iphones most, but it also happens with other phones
i havent had this issue since i been using a non lte rom
I had it happen to me, and (at least in my case) I think I've narrowed down the potential cause.
I wrote a small app to send a specific text to a specific number. It works - well, ... kind of. After sending the first text, the SMS system appears to freeze, and won't allow any subsequent messages to be sent from any SMS app - not just the one I wrote - until I reboot the phone. When I do, the clogged messages are released. This would include any re-sends I may have attempted, resulting in dupes.
So my semi-literate guess is that it has to do with an incompatible SMS app, which probably locks the outbound socket for a while.
......then again, I may be way off base.

Any one else have the problem of not getting notifications until you unlock the phone? I notice it also with facebook messenger, facebook, and not getting email either. Is this just me or someone else having this problem?

Mine does/did the same thing. Never figured out what it was. Now it is up for sell and I am using my newer HTC One. I think it might be the power saver but never got around to testing it. In PS mode it is supposed to turn data off when the phone is sleeping.

messing around with the settings and found it has something to do with the lock screen security. When its set to "none" the notifications works fine. I have tried a couple of the apps for screen locks and are not satisfied with them as far as thier looks. I am really hoping when ATT finally released the kit kat update it will fix this problem. I just sold my LG G2 to get this phone. Kinda disappointed now that ATT released its update today.
I used to have the HTC one but didnt like not having the sd card. I found I like the bigger screens.
Did you finally figure out the solution? I am completely stock, not rooted and have the same issue since last 6 months. I never had any lock screen, so thats not the issue, I always have my phone unlocked.
The problem is not app specific. The delay in notification happens all across the board. When my phone is sleeping, i dont get any notification. As soon as I wake it up, all notification come at the same time, including Yahoo mail, Gmail, hangout messages, whatsapp, Google voice, twitter and others.
It seems like the wifi/data is disabled when phone is sleeping. I double checked in the Advanced Wifi option that wifi is always on. Some people said that the push notification heartbeat might be the issue but why only few of us are seeing this issue and not everyone?
Anyone have any solution?
I have always had my Note 3 on PIN, and I always wake up to at least 2 or 3 emails (sometimes many more), and at least 2 or 3 days I wake up to a new text (I don't text people normally, but Amazon texts me to let me know an order has shipped, etc.)
So it's not the email or text app and it's not the lock screen "as a rule on all devices". It could be a few different things, like allowing wifi to be turned off when the screen is off (that saves so little battery it doesn't make any practical difference - turn it off and keep wifi on all the time). I don't normally run with 3G/4G on, but that shouldn't turn off during sleep, so it wouldn't cause the problem.
Hello guys
i just got a LG L90 a few days ago from T-Mobile
But I suspect there is some SMS delay problems with it
somehow i don't get sms for maybe hours,
and suddenly sms just come popping all up at around the same time
I tried with a few friends. some got it normal but one got my sms 2-3 hours late!
However there are times it work just fine with everyone though
Wondering if any has met the same problem and if there is. Have you figured out a solution for this?
I have contacted T-mobile just now and hopefully the assistants clearing cache method will work for me
No you are not the only one, I too have the same problems (although not as extreme).
As for a fix, luckily with KitKat we can choose a default messaging app and I recommend chompSMS or Textra, they seem to eliminate those pesky delay problems, but although it works for me, I can't guarantee it will work for you.

Yeah, I've switch to Google hangout, still a delay :crying:
And also my device suddenly wouldn't charge earlier, i had to disconnect and reconnect 4-5 times before it charges
using Google chrome also keep killing background tasks, keyboard wouldn't show up, screen dimmer keeps getting killed
even the whole UI blank out sometimes and I'm forced to restart
I think I should try flashing a custom ROM? would it be something about the custom one? i don't have much apps installed, problems shouldn't be due to a lack of RAM...
Anyone can help?
There are a few Roms available, check out @Quarxs one about cm 11

Thanks I'll definitely look into the thread
Did you ever resolve your texts not going through? We have an L90 bought from tmobile prepaid but activated with ultra mobile. Sometimes go to send a text and it just says sending and doesn't go through. At this same time I tried to send a text to that phone and it wasn't received. Rebooted the phone and the messages started going through. Using stock messaging app. I haven't tried a different app. It's my daughters phone and she doesn't deal well with changing the apps around so I want to avoid it if possible.
