Strange SMS Errors? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently flashed to froyo using Nero Beta 3, and I noticed some text issues. I was texting the girlfriend and for some reason, my text went to some random person on my contacts, while her named changed back and forth between another contact I have. Now when I text, nothing will go through. She doesn't receive anything... It's a spotty issue, it wasn't happening an hour ago.. now it's flaring up.
Anyone encounter this problem?
Thanks!

Update - Basically I noticed, If i type a text and send it will randomly either send to the person, or disappear. And the persons picture next to their name goes blank and the name disappears also... Any clue as to why this is happening?

[Q] Unable to send text message...retrying

Can someone please help me with my long going problem?
Intermittently, when replying to a text message (either in stock messaging or handcent, etc) the phone does not send the text message, and refuses to send for up to a minute after retrying, then the message will eventually send.
This has been happening for MONTHS, and I have had my HTC hero replaced through orange several times regarding the issue, as they had identified it as a handset fault. I then got a replacement SIM from orange aswell to try and rectify the issue, but shortly after registering my new SIM, the issue still occurs.
It seems someone in this thread has the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665932
I tried the "fix", ie. making sure all numbers were in international number format (+44...) but this made no difference.
As I said, this issue is intermittent and RANDOM, but happens around 3 times a day. It is very frustrating especially when trying to reply to a text urgently.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Before anyone asks, yes my message centre number is correct (+447973100973).
It only seems to be when replying to a text message, well that is when i notice it anyway.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
I started to get this when I rooted to VR12, it did it alot the first couple of days then didn't do it much. I've now unrooted to orange 2.1, its done it twice in a week. It didn't do it at all on 1.5, maybe a coincidence. Location doesn't matter either.
I noticed this issue. I updated to 2.1 and found im having the same problem. Its intermittent so i cant tell what is forcing it to "retry". Only noticed this since going from 1.5 ---> 2.1.
I installed Darkstone's Froyo Sense v1 and just today gave me the error. Friend of mine actually mentioned it earlier today. We tested it a few times. When I sent him an mms, I got the error, but he still got it. The little envelope icon remained on my message. Tried it again with another friend and same thing, but after 2min the message was sent.
I had the same problem.
I fixed it by entering the service number in the service-menu of the radio. DIAL *#*#4636#*#* and you will see the menu comming up. Take the upper option. Scroll down and update your servicenumber there. While you are there check if the prefferd network is " gsm auto prl" instead of "wcdma". It can save some power.
Goodluck.

Hi mcall_r
just wondering if any of these suggestions fixed your problem as I'm having the same issue. mach2005 where do you get the service number from to enter?
Me too!
Hi,
I've been having this issue too. Along with all the other bugs introduced with 2.1 it's been driving me nuts.
The issue seems to occur intermittently and with a variety of numbers. Normally I get the notification sound, a text icon with an exclamation mark in the notification bar and the text 'unable to send text message'. After a while it normally resolves itself and the message is sent however with one number, my mum's, the problem always persists.
Initially I tried checking the message centre number, ultimately I tried a master reset, without any joy. Then I got a new SIM from Orange, which still hasn't resolved the issue. I can pop the SIM into another phone and send messages to her number so it's definitely the phone.
Just today I noticed that I had an unread text from 'Anon' deep in my message thread, which apparently had come from nowhere (I have observed this before). After deleting the thread I was again able to text my mum, is this just a coincidence? Seriously pissed off with this issue but hoping it is now finally resolved. The messaging in Android/Sense seems fubar, I've also had issues with it resolving to the wrong contact when selecting 'Send message' from another contact. Anyone had these same issues in combination with the 'cannot send text message' error?

[Q] about text messages

Ive been having a issue whenever i recieve a long text message it will split it, and make it in horrible order so it doesnt make sense what so ever. also it sometimes duplicates them. i would be happy to hear someone else having the issue. it seems i have been having sevral issues with the texting with this phone. it happened with stock mms.apk, i am using one from CM6.

[Q] SMS sending failure?

I've been noticing that a good number of my sms cant be sent..I get the message saying failure. My phone has full reception so that isnt the issue. Some messages had to resend 2-3x till it went through. I am using the stock samsung sms messaging, if that matters.
Has anyone else had this experience?
TBH, I just experienced this yesterday, but not exactly the same, ie, it didnt say failure, just kept showing the loading icon next to the message.
I installed go sms and it works from there.
Not a fix however, but a work around.
In the end, i just wiped and reflashed from scratch and now the stock messaging app is sending again....
yeah for the most part its fine...but it has its hiccups at times where i'd have to resend a couple of times till it will finally go through.
I had this last week , turns out the sms center number had been deleted from options,once i readded the number it was fine,sorry i cant can get the exact name of that option because i dont have the phone right now,courier has just picked it up as im changing it due to the yellow screen tint issue

Anyone else getting duplicate text messages?

Ever since I picked up my Inc4G, I seem to randomly get double text messages. Its not from just specific contacts, not from specific carriers, and seems to have no pattern. Sometimes I'll even get three of the same message. I've never had this happen on any of my other phones. Already wiped data to see if that solved it, no dice. Anyone else?
I've gotten a ton of txt's in the last 24 hours because i have my servers at work set to txt me when stuff goes down and comes back up. Had a problem around 12:30 last night so my phone started blowing up.
ANYWAYS i compared the amount of alerts set out with the txt's received (45 in total) and the number was exactly the same on the phone over the course of 5 hours or so. I use Chomp for my txting app, but the txts still drop into the base txting app and i checked both, and the numbers are spot on.
Using stock rom, bootloader unlocked, custom recovery, rooted.
Sorry dude, sounds like a carrier issue though, more than the phone to me.

Sounds like you need to go to the Verizon store. That's almost certainly a carrier service problem (SIM, activation, etc.) rather than software.
I've received MMS and SMS just fine.

I have seen this on other phones as well. Delete and recreate the mail accounts and it should clear up the double texts etc.
He said he wiped data in the OP though.

I've never had that happen. Sometimes on my old Dinc, my recipient would receive multiple duplicate texts from me, but that was only if I was receiving a text at the same time I sent one and it made me try to resend, even though the first went through.
As for the split parts, in my experience, any phone from a different network with over 160 characters will come in as multiple texts, as well as any non-smart phone on your own network.
text glitch?

I don't get duplicates, but what happens on mine is after I send a text, there will be the last word of the message I just sent sitting in the new text box. Its random too, every now and then.

This started happening to me after i updated Swype, so i went back to the previous version and that seemed to take care of it.

[Q] Ghost text messages

Lately I seem to be having an issue with my EVO. It seems that whenever I restart my phone, it sends out ghost text messages to people. The first time this happened, I was having issues getting my pandora to play. So I did a hard rest on the phone and once it came back up, I started receiving a bunch of texts from friends. At first I thought maybe my phone got hijacked or something but came to find out that it was just sending the last txt message I had sent to that individual. Over the next few weeks, this same process would repeat. Once with someone that was in the car with me who could clearly know I didn't just send her a text.
This doesn't send it to everyone. I cannot determine the who/what/why and where, which leads me to why I am here.
I have tried contacting Sprint on a different issue today; for about the same time period I have not been getting notified of new voicemails. If I call into my voicemail, it will sayd I have X new messages, but no notification of such. Sprint said they would restart both my voice and text service. Had me turn off the phone while doing so. Once I brought it back up, low and behold, I started getting texts asking what I meant from folks. So it is still sending these texts. These texts do not show in my sent list.
I am using Go SMS Pro currently but have also tried Handcent in the past and still had the same issue.

Long ago when the OG EVO was just about to reach the EOL It did the same. I was using GO SMS too at the time. I switched to the default messaging app and it never happened.Have you tried using the default messaging app? All go sms does is piggy back off the messaging app. Once you receive a message it goes straight to the default messaging app then go SMS. Try using the default messaging app for a few days and update us if it still happens.
