For the past day I haven't been receiving any texts. I've tried 3 different friends phones on 2 different networks and 1 on the same network. I can send texts fine though.
A couple hours ago I tried calling my phone from a land line and noticed it goes straight to voicemail. I can make calls fine as well.
All the settings look fine on the phone, is there any special codes to enter to further check things?
Bells customer service is gone 'til Monday....
did you unlock the phone, or using any TurboSIM card unlocker?
Stock rom, not rooted or done anything like that. The only new apps I can remember using yesterday is the bluetooth module for astro file manager and trying the bump app with an iphone. Does that work by the way, android/iphone bump app? It wasn't for me.
Also, a reset to stock from the privacy menu hasn't helped.
yes i have bump installed, but so far not seen any iphony user with bump to try it on
are you able to receive phone calls if you put your sim card on another phone?
Finally got the number for data support from one of the local stores and they were able to fix the issue which was something on their end.
Yup, that just sounded too weird too be a phone issue

Bell has been having outage problems. It's probably due to the surge of new users they're getting because of the SGS. I called them up and they reset it for me or something.
for the past few weeks i've been having trouble receiving some texts, i dont know what's happening.. I have an app called Mighty Text which allows me to sms from a computer or tablet. When using the app i realize that i get all my texts in the browser but my phone only alerts me about some sms received and neither do they show up the the stock messaging app...:crying::crying:
with this i have come to think that it's not the network causing the problem.. what else could be the problem?.
I'm currently on SlimBean 3.1 and i'm really loving this rom and would prefer not having to change roms...

It's not a ROM problem but a app or carrier problem. Your carrier most likely won't send your texts at 2 different places (unless specifically said). And when the app is on, you probably allow it to have priority over your text, therefor, it receives them instead of your phone.
Some carriers have apps like those on pc which will let you get your texts and such on both pc and your phone but I believe it has to be made by the carrier to allow it.

So I've been having this problem for a few weeks where my texts get split up if they are few sentences or longer. It doesn't happen with everyone either, that I know of. Not only do my texts get split up (with the few people that I know this problem happens with), but the texts they send me get split, too. I've tried different texting applications to see if that fixes the problem but it still occurs. Anyone know why this happens or how to fix it? I bought my Nexus 6 from the Google Play Store and use it on Verizon. It's rooted, unlocked, and running the latest 5.1 build of Chroma and lean kernel. Thank you.:fingers-crossed:
I'm on Verizon as well, with a Nexus 6 and that's just a carrier limitation (to my knowledge)
They have a character limit, and so as a way to keep everything in order when being sent, they split it up into multiple messages and they just seem "split" but they're just being sent as separate texts and made to look like a consistent one
It happens to my phone, and I bought it directly from Verizon
Have you tried Textra? I know there's some settings in Textra SMS that allows you to fiddle with being sent/received as a single message if the carrier allows it and what not :highfive:
Using Verizon Messages is the best way to go if you got a N6 on VZW.
Its always going to be split up when you use CDMA, because of the 160 character limit. If your on GSM or using LTE on CDMA the messages should not be split.

My carrier refuses to help me with this issue since it's not a phone that they carry.
First some background info. I have a problem using the Nexus 6 on my carrier, "Bluegrass Cellular" which is a regional cdma/lte carrier partnered with Verizon Wireless under their "LRA" (LTE in rural America) program. This issue I can guarantee happens with every user using the device on other carriers under the same agreement. Friend who uses a n6 on another partnered carrier has the same problem. The Issue doesn't seem to be ROM dependant either. If more carrier specific info is needed I can provide it.
Before a wonky work around mentioned next, this is the issue. Problem is if connected to LTE, everything works properly, calls in and out, mms in and out, and receiving sms as normal. But you cannot send sms (pre 14r radio, after 14r radio sends but delays). If you are connected to LTE, when you send a sms it will fail with the message message, "cant send message (insert carrier name) error -1. But you could downgrade network to 3g and you can send fine. But back to LTE sms lags.
Only fix/work around is to flash any m preview radio. Which leads me to think it could possibly be radio related. With those, sms sends, but it takes 40 seconds to send per text. Does anyone have any ideas? 14r+ radio with delay is better than nothing, but it's still rather frustrating.
Outgoing sms on LTE/cdma: average 40 second delay to send message, with higher than normal send failure rate.
Outgoing sms with LTE disabled: sms sends within 5 seconds.
Still when on LTE there is no delay on receiving texts. Only sending.
I Tried sms over ims on/off and a few other pokes and prods, no different. Can provide logcat or anything else if desired. Just trying to get an idea what's going on.
Tl;Dr
APNS are set properly, mms in/out works fine, calls in/out work fine, receiving sms is fine, sending sms on cdma 1x/3g is fine.. Just sending sms on LTE has a roughly 40 second send time with a abnormal send failure rate.
Sorry for the long post I am just trying to cover all the bases for which could be applicable to finding a solution. Thanks in advance for any inputs!

Same issue
I just switched to Bluegrass Cellular today and brought my Nexus 6 aboard and am experiencing the exact same issue. I am running Android 5.1.1 with baseband: MDM9625_10446.01.02.101R and cannot send SMS outbound at all. I can receive SMS, calls, and data all fine, but no outbound texts will go through at all. I will follow the advice already in this thread and update to Android M preview to see if the updated baseband will "sorta" fix the issue so I can at least send outbound, even if it is delayed. I am willing to provide logs if anyone can look into this issue and see a possible resolution.
M preview radio will sorta fix it and make it so it will send on LTE after a delay of like 40 seconds. If you are on 1x/3g sms will work fine.

No need to flash the entire M. Just flash the radio unless you want more that don't work.
I just wish we could figure out why it delays and how to resolve it. Any radio but m preview sms will just fail after so long. M preview radio will delay but eventually send after average 45 seconds. It's just so odd to me.
Calls in out fine
Mms in out fine
Sms in fine
Sms out 1x/3g fine
Sms out LTE no m radio no send
Sms out LTE m radio 40 seconds to send but will send.
Interestingly enough if you go into network settings and set to LTE only rather than LTE cdma sms will not send. So I can't tell if it's radio or it not wanting to use the ims features I'm really lost at this point

Can you please provide me a link to a tutorial or explain how I can flash the baseband on my current version of Android? I've never done that before, but would love to learn how to.

If it is delayed it is carrier. Nothing you do to device outside APN and PRL will fix in my opinion. Carrier/tower problem.
Progress
Ok, I flashed the 24R Android M Preview 3 baseband to my phone last night and texts were still failing altogether this morning when on LTE. I had alot of text messages on my phone (over 21,000 total according to the SMS Backup and Restore app). I deleted alot of old text messages on my phone and my texts are now going through without delay. However...MMS is still not working, but I suspect that has something to do with me not having a Bluegrass APN setup on my phone (if anyone has BG's APN settings, I would be happy if you could provide me a link to them, because I do not see them on their website).

If you want to use mms on a non bluegrass phone you are limited to one specific texting app "8sms" with mms settings as shown in picture. Make sure you don't forget the last setting X-MDN:##LINE1#. Mainly you need the mmsc mms on wifi (yes bluegrass supports it) and the extra http header above.

Why would it work fine in other phones across multiple carriers in this instance? I've tested several different phones also and I've noticed this happens only in Motorola phones not made specifically for Verizon lra carriers. I've used a Verizon galaxy s4 and everything worked great. It feels like somewhere in the radio software or wherever is not letting the ims feature work.

Still Occuring on Android 6.0
So here's an update. I had been running Android 5.1.1 on my Nexus 6 for months with the 24R baseband and had zero problems with SMS being delayed. Everything worked like normal. I updated to Android 6.0 which installed the 27R baseband and the delayed SMS issue is back. I tried reverting the baseband to 24R and the delayed SMS issue was still present. Any ideas on how to fix this? I will be happy to provide logs or any other diagnostic information.
Odd....
Quite frankly, I'm still baffled by this issue. I bought the Nexus 6p and am still with Bluegrass Cellular. Once I popped in my SIM and had them change my IMEI number, I thought that the delayed SMS issue would be a thing of the past. The issue is STILL PRESENT on the Nexus 6p which is manufacturered by an entirely different company than the 6 was (Huawei). I don't suspect it is the radio any longer, as this has happened to me on multiple phones.
I've been toying with different remedies and strategies for months. I've started thinking it's software related and needs to be addressed to Google, but unfortunately I highly doubt they'd care.

Didn't know you had a thread going for this. Do you still need 8sms with those headers added? I could probably change your http header elsewhere and get it working with all message apps.
For the SMS delayed issue, I have found a fix with the help of @evilryry and have made a flashable for it. Just waiting for a little more confirmation so I can be sure to give accurate instructions.

I can comment that I've been using Google messenger for somebtime now and it's been fully functional. Just have to restore apns with apn backup and restore that I got from a rooted thumb cellular phone and then add mms line to apn type under vzwinternet and so far so good.
I get lag/failure sending SMS/MMS and an error message of "Cannot send message Card 1 error -1" Does anyone know a fix to this? i have read that on sprint switching to 3g will fix it but i'm curious if a new radio or different radio works better? or ROM? This is driving me nuts i just bought the damn phone a couple months ago.

Stock or custom ROM? What is your current radio?
Stock unrooted mdm9625?
I have read more and the problem seems to be more prevalent on sprint (at least there are more forum posts about it). Not sure why nobody on Verizon seems to be having same issue or talking about it.

Try updating your SMSC. (short messanging service center) It's for messages basically how switches route calls. Depending on the phone you should be able to go to the dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* and select Phone, scroll all the way down, SMSC should be empty. You can choose update or refresh and the number should popluate.
Alternately you may have to go to go to messaging > settings > message center > and update or refresh there.
Update said error and refresh popped up a number? Am I suppose to do something with the number or is that all?
Well I don't know what it did but it seems to be working fine so far today. Will update if it changes back! Thanks a bunch!

Nope its back to being screwy. Another bit is I'm on a network extender at home. Would that make any difference? I tried the update again and its not working since I have been back home on the extender.
