Hey everyone. I just got my global unlocked Mi Mix (6gb, 256gb), and I can't receive texts. I'm on At&T, and I'm getting 4g VoLTE all the time. I can send texts, and I can make and receive calls, but I'm not getting any texts that are sent to me. I've tried switching to 3g, and I've tried the stock messaging app, Google Messenger, and Textra. Nothing has fixed the problem. I really want to keep this phone, but I have to be able to receive texts.
Anyone have suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I have this same problem. To make matters worse - mine happens intermittently too. For example, sometimes I could be texting someone and receive some of their texts, then suddenly a few texts in I no longer get their responses. Not sure what's going on.
I suspect it has to do with the Contact Manager APK, but not sure how or why.

Are you on ATT? And if this is a software issue, putting on a custom ROM might resolve it. I guess.
I've got texting working now. I did two things and I don't know which is the solution.
First, I put my sim in an ATT phone I had laying around. I sent some texts and took some calls on that phone. Then I put the sim back in my phone while wifi was turned off. I did this whole thing because I saw a thread on an ATT forum regarding the same SMS issue but with a different phone. The ATT moderator suggested doing those steps.
Second, I downloaded Pulse and set it as my default SMS app. So far, texting is now working without any problems.
I cannot receive sms

Well... To begin, I'm unrooted, and use Handcent as my only sms/mms messenger.
My last phone was the Evo 3D, rooted with the stock rom. Unsure if that has something to do with it or not.
I used to send MMS while in a call all the time with my 3D without issue. I can only assume that it was sending over wifi. I was/am always connected to my wifi at home, where I typically am on the phone and trying to send MMS at the same time.
For some reason, on my One, it has to wait until I'm off of a call before it sends MMS. SMS goes through just fine.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Nothing? ^^;
Just wondering if anyone can figure this out. Boggling my mind, and a little irritating, since I used to be able to on my old phone.

Maybe it's the way Sprint does talk + data, because on my One on AT&T I am able to send and receive texts while I am on a call.
Well... I can send and receive texts during a call just fine, whether I'm on WiFi or network. It's just MMS that doesn't seem to download, or send for that matter, while I'm in a call.
I suppose I can understand not being able to send images through SMS while in a call, but I used to be able to at least do it while in a call and on WiFi with my Evo 3D. Just don't know why it should be different with the One.

Been using my phone for a little over two weeks and texting just stopped working the other day. It can send texts but cannot receive them. I have 2 lines 2 phones. When I switch the sim card from the s4 active to my other phone texting works fine sending and receiving. When I use the sim from the other phone and put it in my s4 active it can send but not receive texts so I don't believe it's a issue with my service. It was rooted on MF3. I unrooted and did factory reset and texting issues still persist. Everything worked fine until the other day when I realized no one was texting me back. Mobile data is on. The phone can make and receive calls it can send texts just cannot receive. I use chomp sms but dont think it's the app since the stock messaging app isn't giving me any luck either. Can't figure this out
Update!
Lol just a few minutes after posting this question the phone lit up and all the texts I hadn't received yet just came flooding in. Switched sim cards back over and everything seems to be working fine again. Time to restore my backup yay I love this phone again lol :good:
Hi all, strange issue and have researched to death and can't find a fix. I recently flashed a EPG2 ROM and noticed that I can't receive texts from specifically from other T-Mobile users using the STOCK messenger with advanced messaging. I can receive all other texts, and everyone receives all of my texts. If a problematic user sends me a text from any other texting app I get it, just not the stock app. The ONLY WAY for me to get their text is to also be on the stock app and on LTE or Wifi. Otherwise the text never hits my phone. I don't even get the old texts, only the ones they're actively sending. On their end it doesn't say delivered unless I've actually got it. They always get my text however, regardless of where I send it from (stock or third party) I don't know why they're phones keep trying to send me an advanced message when I'm not using advanced messaging, previously it would just come through as a standard text.
Some steps I've taken:
Updated modem and baseband and BL to EPG2
Turned on and off VoLTE (issue persists either way)
Narrowed issue down to t-Mobile users using stock samsung messenger on any Samsung Galaxy device
Verified I am able to receive texts on LTE and Wifi while in Stock messenger only
I would love some other minds on this, I'm trying to avoid another wipe. Thanks!:good:
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 ...
Interesting thing going on with Messages.
I have my AT&T Sim in my Huawei Mate 20 X. My Pixel 4 XL is on beside me using WiFi. But I'm not using it. It's just on.
I texted my wife a minute ago using my Mate, but her replies come to my P4XL, even though it does not have a sim in it. I tried to respond to her text using the P4XL, but it won't send. So, I replied using the Mate. All of her responses come to the P4XL, not the Mate with the sim that my texts originate from. Weird.
Not really a bug, I guess. Just an interesting thing.
Same thing happens here
Even if I have no service (international) but connected to wifi I can make and send calls and text
You're probably using RCS, or something is stuck as though you're using RCS.

Yep. @scienceguylabs
Turn off 'chat' features in messages.
Thanks, everybody. I turned off chat features and all is good. I wonder, though, why I could receive messages but not send???

Dunno. Theoretically it should work. I send and receive text messages (and calls) all the time with only a Wi-Fi signal, but I've never pulled my SIM to test it. Hand in hand with Wi-Fi calling, RCS is a great thing. Not sure why one would want to switch it off.

I agree. It's great.
I turned it off on the phone I'm not using. I have it enabled on my 20X, although, it doesn't work all the time. It gets stuck on "Connecting" a lot.
