I'm having a bizzare issue that started on Christmas Eve.
I'm not getting my text messages. Well, I get them, but very, very late if at all. I sent well wishes to people that night and received a barrage of responses about 8-12 hours later.
Even when I text myself nothing happens. I've tried reflashing, playing with every setting I could and nothing.
The only way I can force them to me in is by dialing voicemail and texting myself while the call is active. THEN it works. I get my text immediately and whatever's been waiting in queue.
If anyone's got any ideas, I'm all ears. T-Mobile GS6 running xtrestolite on DOI1 baseband.
Problem resolved. After trying everything I could think of I called T-Mo. They reset my APN on their side and voila!
So if anyone ever has this same issue, call you provider and have them troubleshoot on their side too. Especially if you know that no one else is having the same issue.

Hi, lately I noticed that when the phone rings for an incoming sms there are infact 2 of them: the problem is that the first one often shows a timestamp 5-6 hours earlier!
Is it an operator problem? Someone else having this issue?
Thanks
Today the issue showed in a different way: I opened the inbox folder and saw an unread sms that i wasn't aware of.
A couple of seconds later the phone rang the sms tone but no new messages showed up. I opened the unread message and saw that it was sent 3 hours earlier.
Am I the only one with this issue?
never heard/seen that...it could be operator error or maybe clock setting incorrect?
i get that thing with voicemails sometimes....
i recently got a voicemail that was sent 2 days ago and as for the time stamp, thats when your buddy sent the sms to you. Its a network issue not a phone, so dont worry
Thanks guys for the answers.
The clock is correct and I was thinking to a network issue too, the only thing that made me wonder was that - sometimes - the sms shows up when I wake up the phone.
Can you give a little more information?
Operator, how frequently this happens, if a reset helps?
Reason I ask is i'm on T-Mobile in the UK and have something similar that happens, however at times I don't get the txt at all until I either send or make a call, which seems to 'unclog' the message.
I'm pretty sure this is a network problem, and a friend of mine has contacted T-Mobile who confirmed they have had network problems since the start of the new year. However I've not had this confirmed. Anyone able to verify this also?
Iv had this alot with my handset. Sometimes theres a message sitting in my inbox, and i am unaware of this. the phone only rings wen i go into the inbox and have a look for myself. all of a sudden the phone rings and iv got a new message. This is a big issue for Tmobile!! if there is alot of us having this problem, it could be ROM related as iv still got the standard tmobile shipped ROM.

Hi guys,
I have a major problem with my phone, I thought this was down to a certain ROM I was using but it happens no matter what I use.
Currently Im on Cyans latest, my phone keeps resending old text messages, the last one was at 6.30 this morning and it resent 2 texts that I sent yesterday. I dont get any notification this is happening and I have no idea why either.
As far as I know it has only started happening in the last 2 weeks, I have flashed countless different ROMs over the last 6 months so im pretty sure it's not because I have screwed something up in the process, could this possibly be a hardware issue as this happens accross many different roms, cyans, kings hero, mligns...
We seem to be able to fix anything, so does anybody have any ideas at all? I am really reluctant to unroot and try sending back to T-Mo for repair.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have it checked so you get delivery reports?
This happens to me sometimes. The message gets sent, but on the delivery report, it still shows pending. A few hours later, the message gets sent again, because as far as the phone knows, it is still pending. This usually happens when I restart my phone or something.
Usually, when it's pending, the message never gets sent, and it tells me the delivery failed. On occasion though, the same thing happens to me as well.
My suggestion is to turn on your delivery reports if you do not already, and monitor them and see if that is what is happening.
As for a solution, I just dealt with it because it doesn't happen often enough for it to bother me or the person that gets it twice. I did however see that if i reformat my sd card before every flash, especially if coming from a different rom, this does not happen. I am currently running Cyanogen's 4.2.5
Yeah, but mine sent a bunch more. I had delivery reports on, too. I just deleted the thread as soon as I was made aware (I have SMS backup and had just flashed to 4.2.5).
I'm back on 4.2.3.1 and reinstalled Handcent. I haven't had the problem since. There was an awful lot of very distressed discussion about 4.2.5 for everyone to ba accepting it as completely stable. Yes, it seems like it works for a lot of people, but it really, really doesn't work for enough folks. I"m not risking it.
Thanks for your input guys.
Hey everyone,
So yesterday I noticed that I would occasionally receive multiples of the same text message. It started out only being once or twice, but it has increased in frequency. Today, I reset my phone with Odin3 and installed SRE 1.2.2a. Also, I added the lag fix. Unfortunately after ressetting, I am still experiencing the same problem. I thought it was an issue with handcent, so I switched to chompSMS and the same thing is happening. Most recently, I have received the same text message 7 times, and it was originally sent an hour ago. The odd thing is that each copy that is sent to me shows the ORIGINAL send time, so its something on my end that is going wrong.
For the record I have notifications only turned on for one SMS client at a time, so thats not an issue. i have toyed around with my sms settings and everything but for some reason I still am getting this problem. anyone have any help?
update: just texted myself and i have gotten 3 duplicates of the SMS in the last 3 minutes....wtf????

I have sre 1.2.2, the lagfix ext4 and firmware jh3.
The same crap is happening to me! I have no clue what it is, I'm talking to this girl and since I'm getting some of her text multiple times, it is delaying her other text so it ruins the whole conversation. It's bull****! She's on an iphone and she wasn't having an issue.
Anyway, I switched my sim card from the Captivate to my Bold 9700 and started to text myself, the same crap is happening. So, I don't think it's the Captivate.
I'm postivie i received two text, from my self, and my friend sitting next to me; They were delayed until i made a phone call. Any fixes? Surely would appreciate it!
Rom - Stock 2.1 Rooted
I'm thinking of going back to Cyanogen 6.1 when this problem is fixed
Thanks!
Are you going through a SMS app, like Handcent, or using the stock messaging program? I had a huge delay in sending/receiving texts when I used those programs. If you are using a non-stock program, try using the stock one to see how it responds first.
Yeah, i am using the stock app, but ill try using handcent and see if it works like that
Sorry, Handcent was the one giving me problems, not the stock app. How is the other data flowing, like browser and what not? Seen any drop in data coverage or anything? Do you have the newest baseband radio?

Do you have a "low space" warning? I know I've had problems receiving mms/texts when I'm low on internal space. Once I cleared up the space (>19MB Free I believe) by uninstalling a bunch of apps I never use, all the texts came in
Just a thought
Well, i got it fixed, went to the sprint store, (unrooted of course) and they fixed it within an hour, they reset the entire phone, not the same reset as Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.
text and phone calls not getting through
my wife and i both got HTC incredible with Verizon service, this been almost two months ago. my phone is completely awesome, hers on the other hand has an issue her phone will stop receiving text, and or phone calls out of the blue. we will be texting back and forth and all the sudden hers just stops getting my text, so i will call her and it will ring on my end, till her voice mail picks up. this has happen few times a day ever since she has had the phone. if she makes a call out or restarts the phone then she will get all the texts, and voice messages at once. this happen with stock phone apps and ones like handcent. it happen when phone was s-on and after i rooted and installed new kernels and all that jazz. i have talk to Verizon and they talk me through reset and few other things but still doing it. guess i am going to have to see about taking it in, unless anyone has any other advise i have not thought of. all of her software versions are same as mine.

You might have better luck asking on the dinc forums.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
not just a dinc issue...!?
yea, i know, i put it here because, it seems like same issue this guy was having and i have been searching around and have found many instances of the same problem on many different android phones.
i am un-rooting it and reinstalling the original software and taking it into Verizon tomorrow to see if they can do anything. should have done it sooner but every time i would try a fix it would seem like it was fixed for a day or so and then back to the same thing.
i will copy it over there just for posterity, and hopefully i can amend it tomorrow evening with the fix and a solved!
So, this started Im not sure how long ago, but it was sometime after Nougat got pushed out to the Note 5. More than 2/3rds of the calls I get, when I answer the call I hear nothing (no static, no beeps, absolute silence) and the caller is sent to voicemail as if I had rejected the call, even though my phone displays the active-call screen as one would expect it to while in a call. When calls work as normal, they work 100% normally with no errors or weirdness. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Im not rooted and Ive had the phone since a week before launch (thank you early shipment pre-orders) without issue. I have not tried a factory reset and dont intend to unless it ends up being my last resort, but I have tried multiple reboots.
Thank you for any assistance or guidance you may be able to provide :/
