So I'm trying out blocking mode (picked up the S5 on an extra line I'm not using to try it out). I have notifications, calls, alarms all set to be blocked. The time is checked as "always", but I'm still receiving emails, as well as when I text from another phone, it comes right on through. The allowed contacts is "none". Anyone else tried this? Did I miss a setting?

shouldn't stop them from coming through it only stops the notifications for them, in other words no sound or vibration. i havent used it personally but that is how it is supposed to work
Ah ha. I get it. Thanks. I guess I was assuming like an "airplane mode that allows wifi" lol

For some reason my sms time is a few hours off only on incoming messages. When I send a txt it shows it at the right time though. It makes reading txt convost a lot more annoying. Any ideas?

It's an Rogers issue... search the market for smstimefix. put in your offset, and all future texts will show the right time I've had this issue on 2 unlocked android phones...
Thanks I will try it. I managed to fix it just setting + 0 on the time zone and setting time manually

I'm not getting any notifications from my apps such as Facebook, Yahoo mail, etc. I'm on xxlc1 gingerbread. Sync and background data are both on in settings. Its rare but sometimes a notification will come through for Facebook, but notifications for other apps never come through.

I will note for clarification, messaging and hey tell notifications do show up, just not notifications for email, or other apps like that.

Check the app settings,not the phone settings for notifications, the phone only sync,but if u want notifications go to the facebook,gmail or whatever app and check if the notifications are enabled.

Checked again to make sure. Everything is set correctly. It's weird, sometimes everything works fine, then other times I don't get any of my notifications. It reminds me how ios worked when I had an iPhone, if you ran so many things after the app you were supposed to get notifications from, it just doesn't happen because it gets kicked out of memory. rebooting seems to help though. Just annoying it happens randomly

Hey, my wife has the xperia tl, completely stock, and upgraded to latest update. Recently, the push notifications for text messages have stopped, so she doesn't know that she has any texts unless she opens the stock texting app (she doesn't use non-stock texting app). All the settings in the texting app are correct, and I've spent some time on Google, but can't find anything. So, asking for help on this.

I am not sure if I understand you correctly with "push notifications". But if your wife's phone has Extended Standby function enabled, reminder notifications are actually not working.
You may consider giving Smart Notify a try (Google Play).
No status bar notification, no indication at all that a new text has come. Facebook and email notifications work fine.
Extended standby is not enabled. Smart Notify, even with correct settings, does not alleviate the problem. Other ideas?

If you place a Contacts Direct Message shortcut on your screen, does it show the no. 1 when a message has been received from this contact?
I am a noob, so don't expect anything from my input, just ideas regarding things I'd try.
was having a texting issue myself latley with a TL. Did a master reset and everything is working perfectly again. just make sure to back everything up
This is my wife's new X. She wanted a freaking Iphone but I talked her into this. Just some color here.
She now has a notification in the tool bar that reads "messages unable to send." If you pull it down, it brings you to the general text app. There is nothing that tells her WHAT messages didn't send. It's driving her crazy. Even to the point of her going to Verizon (which she despises) who were, of course, zero help. Made her delete all her texts and it's still happening. All her texts read as sent and if you exit the text app, the notification goes away for a few seconds then reappears.
Need to know if any of you guys have an idea of why this is happening and if so, how to stop it.
She'll turn that thing into an iphone by the end of the week if I can't figure it out.
Thanks gang.
Does she have an active mobile data connection? I think she needs that to text on Verizon, wifi may not be sufficient.

Anyone else have a guess? It's driving her nuts.
Are her messages actually being sent and received?
Remove her sim and reinsert.
Google the Verizon APN settings and confirm they are correct in network settings.
Try a different texting app. I'd recommend Textra or hangouts.
If none of that works reply here I'm sure there will be more help incoming.
I sometimes have this problem when sending pictures to iPhones, it will constantly fail to send. Rebooting usually solves it

Have you tried Settings > Apps > swipe R to L to get to All > Messaging > Force stop > Clear cache > Clear data. Restart and try another message. Or as others have suggested, try another messaging app. I really like 8SMS and have set that as my default messaging app and set Active Notifications to show 8SMS notifications by default.
Switched to Chomp SMS and it's fine.
Thanks all.

I had the same problem before the 4.4.3 update. It was picture mail that wouldn't send. Our APNs have a dedicated MMS APN that needed to be configured for my mvno . once I configured the APN I rebooted and it sent whatever picture mail I had been trying to send out.

A lot of people actually seem to be having trouble with SMS after the 4.4.3 update. It generally seems to be because they've disabled the app "messaging" and for whatever reason, they can't reenable it after the update.
It doesn't make much sense though, because texting apps can't rout messages through other apps anymore.

I had the problem before the update and after I updated it was already fixed but it was because my service provider and I figured it out before the update

I'd been getting the unsent SMS every couple days on 4.4.2. I used 'Permission Friendly Apps' to find what had 'Send SMS' permissions. I don't use Skype from my phone, so I uninstalled it. I also disabled SMS and turned off the 'Improve Hangouts' option in Hangouts. After about a week, still no mysterious empty message.
It's not proof any of that fixes anything, but may be worth a try?

After updating to Lollipop, my AT&T S4 Active quit sending and receiving MMS.
Spent an hour on the the phone with Straight Talk to no avail. They say everything is right on their end and everything is set correctly on my end.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

Did you check the APN settigns? Default Network type?
I did. I went through numerous checks and changes of the APN with Straight Talk support to no avail.
The only thing that has changed is going to Lollipop.
(I have even tried switching to several different messaging apps- AT&T messaging, Google messenger, and Go SMS Pro.)

Did you try clearing cache/dalvik in stock recovery? And why does your signature say SM-G900A, I assume you have the i537 as well? (Sorry just gotta filter out the obvious solutions til we can get down to the bottom of this).
I have and use the s5 (900a) and my wife uses the s4active (537).
I did try wiping the Dalvik and cache to no avail.

These are my settings on lollipop. I used the straight talk apn app from play store to set them.

Hello I too have been having the issue with MMS since upgrading to lollipop, it will show pending and not send. Now if i turn on my wifi then it will send, and thats the only way i have figured it out on my phone. I have cricket service and when calling in to ask about this issue, they advised me thats its only on this phone that wifi is needed to send or receieve mms. I tried removing Google messenger but that didnt work either as well as deleting cache in recovery. Is anyone else having this issue on this phone.
I have the International version and have had a similar problem for a while. If I try to send or receive MMS my mobile (cell) data stops. I have to turn if off and on again and wait to get to wifi to see the picture. Did you have a problem with cell data crashing aaronkemp172460?
I also use Google Messenger as my sms app, maybe I need to ditch it.
