T-Mobile US users having text issues? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

Is anyone else having issues sending or receiving text messages? A few friends sent me texts yesterday, and I sent a bunch also, but they didn't receive them until this morning. I also didn't receive some of theirs until this morning.

Working fine over here. Are you stock or did you mess with your APN?

Yup. Happening here also. It's a network issue.

My apn is fine. I haven't had any issues with texts until yesterday. A girl I work with said her friend was having texting issues yesterday also on T-Mobile. Completely different phone.

Idaho. But it was happening all day yesterday.

Wow, I thought I was alone, happened to me yesterday as well.. Messages were coming super late & all out of order.. I almost got caught up in a lie because of it lol ?

I also received 3 copies of the same exact message over a period of about 6 hours.

YES, this is the absolute worst ****ing network ever. everything you described happens to me regularly (see my post history) and tmobile doesn't give a ****. today my mom got a text from me at 420am that i sent at 7pm yesterday.

I've never had an issue in the past 2 years until yesterday.

lucky you guys. came from verizon a month ago, and it's been this all the time:

"Hahaha yes this is not a new issue" was received 5 times, but marked as one failed send on my phone.

Was happening all weekend in California...Los angeles area..i was almost thinking its rom related lol
'

Yep had a text message come in after 2 hours later lol

Same thing happened to me, I am in Los Angeles. My friends were getting texts at 2 in the morning, the same text I had sent them the morning the day before and I kept getting their texts over and over randomly throughout the day.
Another thing I noticed, at work for the first time I got full 4GLTE yesterday, before I barely got 4G with a few bars. This leads me to believe that that they did some major upgrades yesterday. I have full 4G LTE again today, still thinking it's too good to be true, so I will take a day of hiccups if it results in LTE. I have worked here for 4 years so I was surprised to say the least.

LOL same here. I blamed it on Verizon (the recipients) lol Hopefully this issue finished. Ohio here btw

T mobile is doing some major network revamping this year and next year so it's probably related to that. I came from verizon about a year ago, verizon would lose and send late texts all the time. Haven't had it happen on tmobile yet but I'm sure it's bound to happen sometime. I live in a great coverage area for all four carriers so I don't know what verizons excuse is on the text end but it was a eight year issue For me.

Los Angeles. Been having lots of MMS /SMS issues since I joined T-Mobile in 2013. In the last weeks it has cost me a few arguments with my wife so I had to switch to Hangouts for good
Edit: since hangouts doesn't allow me to delete pictures from messages I had to switch to WhatsApp

Just to add to this. T-mobile knows about this and has a ticket out to get it fixed. The problem was found on 4/17/2015. It looks like it has something to do with the Service Center that the SMS goes though to send. They do not have a fix for it but if you do happen to call in about the problem, they do give credits for your time. I do work for Tmobile as a RSA and can see the ticket that was filled out. I do not have this problem but I know others have come into my store with the problem. Hopefully this helps to know that T-mobile knows about the problem and is looking into it.

If you get word that the issue is fixed please let us know

Bigest phone fail you ever had.

1) yup thats some phone fail right there
2) My old razr did some thing like this, but I did not video it and well I could not do any thing with the phone so I had to leave it off and some how it just worked again. (I still have no idea what happened or WHY the bleep it messed up so badly for.)
3) How did you fix it or did it just do it?

Were you able to still use the phone?
Yea, Sucks.
Holy Cow Dude that looks terrible. I've not had an epic fail yet but I've overdone it recently. my Rooted HTC HD2 seems to have a habit of failing, freezing or rebooting right when I need it. I'm on my way home, i need to make multiple calls back to back and what happens friggin android phone freezes. I kill all tasks try to bring it back up, crashes again then instantly into a reboot.
LG Envy Touch.
Biggest piece of crap I have ever owned.
Complained so much to Verizon that two months after getting my upgrade, they let me get another two year upgrade price on a droid x and keep the envy. Lol. Sold it on Ebay for over $200.
Yea it sucked big time.
I had to deal with 3-4 phone reps and 4-5 store guy's before I got a new phone.
I will tell what they said:
1 phone rep said I needed to leave the phone off over night. ( Say what)
1 phone rep said I needed to clear all in all internet apps. ( So did not fix it)
2 store reps said I was being "slowed down for lot's of data use".
3 reps said it needed a fac reset. ( Did not fix it for long, came home and bam 600kbs)
Any way the new one is all good, but it was a pain becuase "it's the best phone they have". ( I am like I just want the thing to work right, telling me this crap does not make me feal better.)

Yeah it just requires a reboot but it happens every now and then not as often as the random reboots though
I think this phone or verizon is crap.
Well I should have not said all good with the new one, but a lot better so far. It has droped Data 2 times and fell back to 3G one time in the 2 days I have had it.
I don't know at this point if verizon is crap or the razrs are unstable. I know motorola is better than this so I think it's just the 4G LTE gsm and CDMA trying to work at the same time fail.
Edit: It's now doing it to. This is my 2nd phone and less than 3 days it start's pulling this crap.
Bigest phone fail us the Samsung intercept. It's the definition of crashes, freezes, slowness, freak outs, and miss sends and barely any apps work with it
Biggest fail for me was the Nokia N90.
Nice phone with nice camera features, but every now and then it drove me crazy with random resets or, sometimes, with unnoticed shut downs. It just resetted or shutted down in my pocket.

HTC one with bad esn from craiglist

Hi,
I bought a used HTC one on craiglist only to find out that is is stolen. Att wouldnt allow me to activate it.
I am so stressful now. What other option do I have with other carrier at all? Don't tell me to use as a wifi fone please.
Here is my IMEI. I dont understand that I already check that IMEI first hand, it shows clean, but somehow I still got scam.

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do with this, it has happened to me in the past also. Just because the IMEI is clean when you bought it doesn't mean that a few days / weeks / months later the original owner doesn't report it lost / stolen at which point it becomes blocked to you.
The only resolution is for the person who reported it lost / stolen to the networks contact the network and advise they have located it, and they will then lift the IMEI bar

I just check with Imei checker, and they say T-mobile is clean. Do carriers share the blacklist?

Ive bought a lot of phones on CL. Ive only been burned once.
What i did learn is that if they have Asurion they have 30 days to file a Lost/Stolen claim with them.
Then another 120 days to finalize the claim and pay the deductible.
I had this happen to me when i got a TMO GS3. I had it 4 months and then one day it didnt work. I followed up with TMO and found it was listed as stolen. I knew the store manager and she remembers when i had them check it. She did some digging and found out the 30 day / 120 day timeline.
The crappy thing is, i emailed Asurion multiple times to let them know the person who reported it stolen was scamming people and using insurance fraudulently and they didnt care.
With insurance its easy to scam people. Without it not so much.

T-Mobile Video Calling Update

http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/issues-insights-blog/video-calling.htm
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 now have T-Mobile Video Calling available through simple software updates, while the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge updates will be available next week.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hopefully this will also bring Samsung Pay, RCS and some of the other enhancements seen in later builds on Sprint and other carriers.
So this means next Sunday night 11:59PM pacific time
Actually the advanced messaging excites me more than the video calling does.
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
Just a speculation but I'm thinking since T-Mobile announced the advanced messaging features a couple months ago this update may only be that since the development and testing would of taken some time. I'm probably wrong but I kind of see the advanced messaging update coming and then if not on just before the 28th for the update Sprint received a few days ago to coincide with the Samsung Pay launch. Of course they may have bundled all this together but we wont know that till sometime next week.

I'm not sure what you're exactly trying to say, but in any event, Samsung Pay has already begun rollout, Advanced Messaging and Video Calling are standard on GS6E+ and Note5... The testing is done, we're getting it all.

I'm not saying we arnt gonna get all the features like advanced messaging or samsung pay and the UI changes I'm simply suggesting unless samsung bundled it all into one massive update we may only get the advanced messaging update next week and the one with samsung pay and all the other goodies either on or just before the 28th launch in the US. But since there is no proof that this update contains anything more then the messaging features we will just have to wait and see.
I guess I'll have to enable VoLTE in order to use this... I'll have to decide between features or battery life.

The info in the first link posted to the thread posted on the 3rd of last week says our phones will get it this week.
Does anyone know about when they release the updates is it early morning/afternoon/evening or is it sporadic and just have to keep checking? Hoping it comes tomorrow I'm excited to see if it has all the stuff sprint got a week ago.
Darn nothing today hoping for tomorrow!
I checked for a system update a few minutes ago and got this weird message.

Same error here. One can only hope they're readying the servers for a launch tomorrow.
Anyone else get the samsung internet app update that made the icon round its like they are teasing us haha.
Any mention of a stage fright patch in this release?

Anyone else backordered already?

I went to a TMO store on Saturday the sixth and placed my order for Blue Note 7. I haven't received any notices or tests from TMO and my online account stating that the shipping date is changed to the 18-19th. I called the service number and asked about the status of my order. Sadly I was told that I am backordered. Frustration doesn't describe my feelings.
I've purchase many phones from my local store so I went in today and told them about my conversation with service. There was no sympathy at all, just a cursory, "Yeah, lots of people are going to be backordered."
Has anyone else had this experience? If so, just state your order date and color. I am really disappointed. I suspect they just stopped fulfilling orders to have enough inventory for the stores. I am really ticked.
And the world spins

They won't have any blue one in stores for at least a month just an FYI. I went to the store with my friend today because he wanted to get on the list and they told them his only options were black or silver or they could order him a blue one to be delivered as soon as they weren't on backorder anymore.
If they backordered me I would cancel the whole thing. The whole point of pre ordering is to get before or as soon as it comes out. I pre ordered mine Thursday. They said when my card is charged that means it has been shipped. My card was charged today. If I don't get this phone by Friday I will cancel the whole thing and stay with AT&T. Now if they would have told me that it will be after Fri I would have went somewhere else.

Direct from T-Force. This guy seemed on the ball. Mind you, my contact to them was for a different reason entirely but I asked about the backorder status I've been reading about.
Sent from my SM-G925T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yea it seems like everyone wanted the blue version. When I ordered mines on the website, it pushed the date back depending on the color you selected for the pre-order. So yea, Im sure thats why it went straight to back ordered.

Yeah mine changes to shipped once it updated.
Even though I was told I was backordered I received the shipping notice late yesterday and my Blue Coral is going to be delivered today. The point is that the rep I initially spoke with was wrong and the amount of notice on shipping can be very short.
Oh cool. Yeah, that backorder notice would throw anyone off. I Ordered yesterday and should be receiving today. I didn't get the Coral, though.

OnePlus 3 : What nowadays ?

Hello guys !
I talk for all OnePlus3's owners : you all know there were many many bugs : Call dropping, Call noise for the receiver, Wifi strength, random reboot, and many more...
Do you still have those kind of bugs and glitchs ?
Thank you for the answer,
Cheers.

I never experience all of this since i bought mine 3 months ago.
Signal is a crap. Most of the time having 3-4 bars (doesn't matter LTE or H+) in the centre of my city, where on HTC 10 I had LTE+ on full bars most of the time.
I have never had these issues at any point...
I've used the phone for about two months and never experienced any issue.
I use to have poor reception 2-3 months before after updates everything is working fine.
Works great for me on the stock ROM. all functional issues have been addressed in my opinion
Bad reception is usually a symptom of the user's location or country
No issues for me using it since the launch
No issue here... I don't use LTE or any other tho.
Netwrok signal all Time poor.. When i sent sms its need more time to send.. and Its very Weak for Get signal ??
Have had it since 9/12 and have had no issues. Reception on at&t is better than my old Op2 and just as good if not better than wife's iphone 6s.
No issues experienced on this phone since I got it.

Ive heard the same issues on my old phone.. signal just acts strange nothing u have to worry about with the OP3
Had mine since it was released and I haven't had a single problem with it, far from it. Every "common known bugs" you are mentioning are points where I'm saying the OP3 excels at. And when I recommend the phone to others the ONLY negative points I have is back camera lins poking out (a case fixes that), no sd card expansion (minor inconvenience) and that the battery isn't easily replaced (dash charge outbalance that).

Perhaps the HTC10 was overplaying the signal reading? TBH I don't take any notice of the bars as long as I can get a signal/make & receive calls, on that score I've never noticed any issues.
There's minor issues with the OP3 but none are real killers and there's still no better smartphone when it comes to value/performance.
Just wish OP would hurry up and explain properly what direction they intend taking the Oxygen OS.
