Very strange thing with my Tab. Anyone heard of anything like this? So that I could have data on my Tab I got a 3 data only SIM for about £5 a month for 1gb. Phone calls and texts would be charged for but I never make or send any as I use my Galaxy S for that. Just seen my last bill and spoken to 3 because, according to them, I have sent 5 texts to Singapore from my Tab, including another one only a couple of hours ago. My text history on the Tab is empty!
They have no explanation (other than asking if anyone else could have sent them) but have dealt with it very reasonably by agreeing to credit me the cost of the texts and putting a block on any future charges other than than the monthly charge for the data, athough that means I cannot make calls or send texts if eg my Galaxy S battery is flat.
Could any apps be sending texts which don't show up in the text log? Has anyone had anything like this?

Its an app you have installed at some point, a rogue app which is sending text messages.
Check all your apps permisions and make sure one of them does not have a permission to send sms message (only a few apps need this permission, like a message app, etc).
Hope that helps.
Did you purchase the tab from singapore, perhaps branded to Singtel, m1 or starhub? It could those special messages the device is sending to the telcos.

OK I've found the 'culprit'. I got the Singapore number off 3 and Google showed me I am not the first. It is down to WaveSecure, which I got while it was still free. I see it is now owned by McAfee. I've found that my Galaxy S also sent a text to them. I knew it could send texts but didn't realise they are to Singapore! Uninstalling now.
Hope that helps anyone with a similar issue.

I've been having issues with Go SMS, where every incoming message I get will be timestamped incorrectly (like 6 hours prior) and will therefore show up at the beginning of each respective conversation list. That issue only exists in Go SMS, the stock messenger app and Chomp work just fine so I'm sticking with Chomp for now. (don't lecture me on why one is better than another, I'm not here for that)
I've also been receiving messages multiple times over the last couple of days. I don't recall it being an issue until just one or two days ago and it's only once in a blue moon, but the same message will come in 3 or 4 times, and it happens with different people, whether my phone is already on or if it's off. Can't seem to find a common denominator here.
Just wondering if anyone else has run into either of these issues yet. If it's something that factory resetting and re-flashing doesn't help, I'll return it for a different one.
Same problem here. It has to do with the delivery reports. You'll notice if you turn them off the timestamps will be correct.
I've tried changing the 'change delivery offset' option which is somewhere in the GOSMS settings, but it only works 50% of the time..... I checked in my stock messaging app AND handcent SMS and the delivery reports don't work there either (it shows as Unsuccessful in Handcent, and a red icon in Stock Messaging). I've read somewhere around here that if you are having trouble with SMS, your sim card is most likely bad.
If any other users could tell us if their delivery reports work/don't work, we can sort of narrow it down to either a bionic problem, or just the sim card.
Gotcha, I'll play with delivery reports and see what happens. I didn't run into this issue with my Charge though, and I'm using the same SIM. I'll report back soon.
I had the multi message issue about a week ago, but after the Go SMS update last week it stopped. Haven't had it since and have not noticed a timestamp issue personally.
I have the latest version of GoSMS and it still does it, coincidentally for certain contacts though, mostly those on other networks.

when someones mobile shutdown, and number not working, when i send him a one or two sms, when he turn on the phone, i get the sms delivery reports, so thats why i need to fix this problem, any good rom for N devices , i badly need this option friends
Fix what problem ? First you asked how to enable delivery reports. Now judging from your second post you have it turned on, but you want a delivery report despite the fact that the recipients phone is shut off and the message can't be delivered. Isn't it obvious ?

To enable the delivery reports go in to your sms app and click the 3 totes then select settings, more settings, text messages and then you have a choice to enable or disable delivery reports but as others have said it is carrier dependant as to if they offer them or not.
You only get sms delivery reports once the recipient has 'received' it. If the phone is off, they will not receive your text until they turn it on, hense why you are not getting the reports asap.
Its not like Whatsapp where you can check it has been sent, delivered and read.

So....what you are looking to do cannot be done from your phone. To do it, it requires invading someone else's phone and installing software that tracks their phone state.

I understand. In order to get the delivery report you are looking for, software on the other phone can do that. SMS delivery report only shows that the message was delivered, not that the phone is turned on.

Do you use a T-mobile Note 8? I have the same issue on my T-mobile Note 8.
Hi,
I just got a Mi 9 today and everything works fine (i can receive phone calls normally..) but i noticed that there was a problem with sms messages : i only receive some messages (not all of them) and the ones that arrive are delayed.
And i don't receive apps confirmation messages at all (Xiaomi account, WhatsApp, WeChat...)
I checked the SMSC and it was correct.
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks

There are a couple settings you might want to change. If you enable Developer Options there is a Toggle called mobile data always active. Some phones (like those from Google) have this enabled by default. If it's not already enabled I click that setting on. I have never noticed additional data usage on any phone as a result of that being enabled--it just allows for faster network switching.
In WiFi settings you probably have an option to stay connected to WiFi while your phone is asleep. I always enable that as well.
You are probably getting delayed SMS and notifications because the data connection is off when your phone is sleeping--and if your phone is connected to WiFi but your carrier doesn't support WiFi texts then you won't receive texts until your data connection is reestablished.
I would like to bump this subject.
I just purchased a Mi 9 and I have the very same problem as the OP.
Following jhs39 indications didn't help.
Appreciate all the help

SMS does not arrive through DATA connection, as far as I know. It uses plain old GPRS signal. Data is for internet.
Same for me. don't receive apps confirmation messages at all (Xiaomi account, WhatsApp, Facebook. etc

What about APN's?!
Did You check this?!
There must be two APN's, one for data connection (internet) and other of MMS messages only.

I´m having the exact same issue with the Xiaomi Mi 9 T Pro, I can receive SMS from another numbers, but I'm not able to receive sms from big companies (Xiaomi account, Whastapp, Steam) I know is the phone because I put my SIM card on my old phone, and all the company SMS where going through just fine!
Does someone knows the solution from this? I really wanted to use Xiaomi but is getting really difficult and really frustrating at the same time :/
I have a similar problem.
I don't use a Xiaomi's account, so I haven't noticed that problem.
My problem is with Google verification sms.
I don't receive them, or they come much later than they used to on my old phone.

someone managed to solve? My cell phone was working normally and a week ago stopped receiving sms from applications and companies. Please if anyone knows help
I have the same problem since last Thursday... but in my case, it only happens when the SMS is sent from a foreign Phone number; if somebody from my country sends me a SMS it works fine (and, of course, I am able to send SMSs to my country and foreign countries without any problem).
I had the same problem... but i was connected to my VPN.. once i disconnected from the VPN.. everything worked fine
as for me i get sms but NOT MMS. i have defiantly tried a ton of apns and no MMS
Xiaomi is becoming a headache
I have realized that Xiaomi seems to be a good smartphone (mine is a Redmi Note 8 Pro), but at the end it is a very problematic one. Mine never connects to 4G LTE and my SIM card is a valid one which works fine with other phones (Samsung S8, Samsung J7 Neo, Moto G5 plus and Huawei Y7). I have done everything possible that I have read in the internet and I don't get to fix it. I'm about to give up ...
