Getting text messages out of order or not at all - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems to be from only one number, but I mainly text only one number so it may be affecting all conversations. But I routinely get texts longer than the standard length out of order and sometimes hours later. I've made sure my date and time were automatic and have lte full bars where I am.
I have a stock rom but might root if I can find a way for it to help.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Call Forwarding

Great forum! Long time lurker first time posting.
I've looked around everywhere but I can't find a program that suits my needs.
I need to be able to forward all calls EXCEPT for a few numbers to a different phone number. As-is now, when I forward all calls (when I'm out for the day) I'd like for a certain number of people to reach me, but instead they get someone else. The only way i've found around this is for them to text me an I call them back.
Is it possible to have an app forward all calls EXCEPT for some to a different number (not voicemail)? Or is it not possible since it's a setting that has to be sent to AT&T?
Really no one else trying to do this?

Phone Plan Vs Usage App

I know there is an app for t-mobile users that shows how many mins they have used ect.
I would love someone to make an app FOR NON T-mobile users that works just like the tmobile app but has manual input settings. the following features would be good.
Input Bill rotation day
Input text messages a month
Input start and end times for evenings 6pm or 9pm
Input day time minutes
Input Data limit
the app will then log all your times and show you on a bar graph how many mins you have left or how many texts you have left untill you go over on ur plan and are billed extra.
Ect, it would be great to track my cell phone usage
Couldnt you just dial "#674#" or something? i think you should be able dial codes like that and it should tell you how many minutes, texts, and so far you've used and how many you have left
im on rogers in Canada, theres no such feature.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
but I don't think someone can just make an app like that, I believe the carrier would have to be involved to get all the info.

Repeated SMS from unknown sender..AT&T reps have no clue.

For 3 days now for a span of 1.5 hours a day I receive the same message from an unknown source. Ranging from every 2-5 minutes apart. Has anyone experienced this as well? Is this possibly from an AT&T Alert (QuickReach is what I was told) that no longer functions properly due to a flashed ROM?
Anyone ever heard of Quickreach?
Luckily I have unlimited SMS..so irritating.
Did you use a different SMSC # on your phone?
Happened to me once, because the dude that used the phone before me changed his smsc # on it.
There was another post on this that I ran across some time back. It stated that you might receive text messages like this when your phone is attempting to receive email through the push email function, but your phone is not connected to the internet. I do not have all of the info on this unfortunately, but I ran into it as well recently, and when I reconnected to MEdia Net, those texts stopped.
Hope this gives you some insight.
Aren't those the text messages you get after using OZ instant messaging? I used to get those when I used OZIM, as they updated its status, friend info, etc., and they would always stop as soon as I exited the application, or sometimes a few minutes afterward.
I'm not sure how you would stop this, but maybe flashing back to AT&T's stock ROM, and running OZ IM, then exiting the application fully would stop the messages. Then you could go back to whatever ROM you want. I'm not sure it would work, but it may be worth a shot. I hope that helps, and good luck,

[Q] Incoming SMS Timestamp off by -5 hours

Hey guys,
I have an unlocked HD7 from Bell and I'm using it under Rogers right now. I have a problem where my incoming SMS are behind by 5 hours. (They come right away but the stated time on them is off by 5 hours).
I tried fiddling with the timezone settings to match the times but then it messes up my calendar times.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Joey
Anyone figure this out?
I am 2 hours out (thinking it has to do with where the Bell SMS center is located)
hoping someone can figure out a fix
I am in Calgary, AB, Canada and using Fido if that makes a difference. I am thinking I could update to a different ROM, anyone know if that will work and what ROM I should choose?
thanks in advance
This is a known issue at Microsoft i mentioned it to them when i went there for an interview as well the only way to fix it is by doing the following.
1) goto Settings> Date & Time>
2) Turn off "set automatically"
3) Set Time Zone to "UTC Coordinated Universal Time"
4) Manually enter the correct time in the "Time" field
5) Adjust the date if you have to.
And Save and restart your phone this should fix the issue its not an actual fix but it works.
Well I took your advice and changed the timezone to UTC - 03 (then manually set the time)
Seems to have done the trick; will just have to remember to adjust for time zones I guess
thanks
Wait; spoke too soon
that messed up all the times for my email, the emails are all time stamped 3 hours in the future.
Oh well, guess I will just never have that "Perfect" phone.
Just annoying as this HD7 is probably the best phone I have ever had but there are so many of these annoyances...

What email are you using on the device? Outlook or just a standard Hotmail / Live acct? I will be unlocking my Bell HD7 very soon to use it on Rogers as well and I do not use Outlook so if the fix above sorts out the TEXT issue and does not bother my "Hotmail / Live" email then I will be a happy man however... I dont really use my email on my phone that much anyways so I guess as long as this fixes the SMS timestamp issue then I should be fine.
At any rate... If you could let me know anyways I would appreciate it.
***EDIT*** I tried this today after unlocking my Bell HD7 and running it on Rogers and it did not work at all. Now instead of the time stamp being 4 hours slow, it is now 2 hours fast using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Anyone else know how to get a proper time stamp on SMS after unlocking and using on a different network?
I just gave up and am now licing with a 4 hour tamestamp issue on my text.
my email, calendar and everything else works so this is just something I guess I have to live with. Not that bad
Email via hotmail & yahoo using the WP7 email program
My EVO does the same thing. Only when my cousin sends MMS he's on cricket. It has also done it when the towers messed up in my area.

Ya... Same with me. I gave up as well and am now living with the timestamp issue on my texts, mms, etc... My outgoing texts go out at the right time and are being received by the recipients at the right time but when I receive a text it is out of wack.
What I dont understand is that when I get a text and I get the "toast notification" at the top of my phone, the time stamp there is CORRECT but when I open my messages and look at the actual message itself it is out of wack. WEIRD!!!
Does yours do this as well?

International Note 8 periodically not receiving calls

I have the international version of the note 8 and it periodically doesn't receive calls, or texts seem to come sometimes super late and I sometimes have to resend texts because it fails to send the first time. I've tried resetting it, factory reset, rooting and custom rom (2 different ones) and still the same issue. The calls don't show up in my missed calls but the voicemails do show up.
I have had all of the Notes from 1 up to this one, all rooted with custom roms but I can't seem to figure this out. The so not disturb is off, the caller isn't blocked, airplane mod is off, I have no idea! I'm running a T-Mobile sim and using the recommended APN and have also tried the others available. Still having the same issues, if someone can please point me in the right direction I would be so very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Does the same thing happen when you use the same SIM with other devices? If it does then there is an issue with the SIM. If it doesn't I would take your device to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it.
