Whenever I get over the character limit for texting and it becomes 2 text or more I always have this weird problem with sending it. I will send it and my phone will tell me that it couldn't send it & it doesn't matter how many times I resend it it tells me the samething. The weird thing about it is that it seems that even tho my phone tells me that, the person still gets the text, so depending on how many times I resent it they'll get the same text multiple times. I'm happy that even tho my phone tells me that they still get it, its just that the problem I have with this is that unless the person responds I'm not sure they actually got it or not and I really don't feel good leaving it up to chance and so on. So I just want to know if anyone knows how to fix it or at least find out if other people have this problem.
Oh I'm running the 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware pre-rooted by

Every now and then for no apparent reason, text messages fail to send and I get a message with a little red triangle next to it.
It happens on 2g, it happens on 3g, it happens with "full" signal and bad signal. It happened pre modding, and on various versions of various ROMS. What's worse is that sometimes the message does send, and I end up sending it multiple times because I think It hasnt sent.
But my real question is "Why does it even do this?", and I don't mean what are the things which cause it to fail, but why does it even tell me, why wouldn't it just keep trying until the message was sent, as if there was no reception? WHY IS THIS A THING?!
In what world would I NOT want to retry? Imagine for a moment you'd given a letter to the postman and he dropped it because for some reason he had terrible grip, would they just leave it there? would they pick it up and give it back saying "nah mate, I failed"?. I'm certain the postie would try again, and again, until eventually he got it in the sack and into the van.
I wouldn't mind so much if I'd actually figured out how to consistently get the message out of the conversation for editing. It seems to be pot luck whether touching/tapping/holding the little red triangle/message actually removes it and pops it back in the box for resending.
If you have just read all that and can answer any of the problems that are driving me insane, then I would be very grateful
Hey all,
Hoping you can help because this one has Verizon techs puzzled. A few days ago I was sending a text to my wife and when I did for some reason my signal cut out totally and I lost it for hours. I took my phone to Verizon and they said there was a glitch and factory reset my phone. Here is the issue now. Whenever I send a lengthy text to my wife (a text that is two pages) she will get the majority of the old text message days ago and only two sentences of the one I am currently sending. I reset my phone again...deleted the thread with that message in it. She deleted my thread on her phone. Verizon techs on the phone had her power down her phone and they did something on the back end but it is still happening. She has not factory reset her phone which is the only thing I can think of at this point. She will get brief texts from me with no problem, but a lengthy one she gets the problem stated above. That original text I sent was a lengthy one....any one have any ideas on how to stop that from happening?

Wow, that is crazy! Maybe both of you could download and try a third party texting app like SMS PRO or CHOMP or something?? I am assuming you are using the stock messaging app. Can't hurt to give it a try?! Good Luck!
I just installed Cm10.1 on my Razr, it was working fine. much better then my stock rom. I get better service, my texting app isnt broken and its all around a lot faster too. The only problem i have experienced is the intermittent capacity of my phone to send and/or receive picture messages. Earlier today my girlfriend sent me a picture. It wasnt until i had rebooted my phone 2 times and wiped cache did i finally get the messages. I dont know if it was a fluke that it happened like that or not, but its kind of inconvenient.
Afterwards i tried to send a picture back, it was pretty much just a random picture of where i was standing at the time, nothing important, but it did not want to send. No matter what I did it would not send. I wound up checking back at it about 20 mins later and it said that it sent and it actually did.
Is anyone else experiencing this phenomenon and how do i fix it? or is it just something that im going to hope is fixed with a new update soon?

post this in the development thread of cm 10 and somebody will respond to you if they have experienced it already or with a solution if its been updated.
Hi guys, long time X2 user here. I have recently been having text messaging problems in which every now and then a text I send will look like it went through fine on my phone, but the recipient never receives it. Or, sometimes a text will not go through as mentioned above but then if I send another text an hour or two later to the same person, she gets both texts at the same time!!! Even though they were sent hours or even days apart.
It is incredibly frustrating, and texting is one of the few things that I NEED my phone to do. I'm booting up an older Driod 3 to use for now, but has anyone had a problem like this? Or does anyone know how to fix it? I've sbf-ed twice, been on stock, CM7, and Eclipse but the problem persists on all of them. Thanks

cm9 is one of the only roms that hasnt done this to me. about time for a new phone i say. x2 has been hell.
if i hadnt seen that most android phones ran MUCH better than this one, i would probably move on to another OS entirely.
i now know that paying a little bit out of pocket at upgrade time will save you HOURS and SOOO MANY headaches down the road. s4 here i come !
i honestly dont think there is a way around this issue. but i can also so that eclipse has never given me this problem. although it has plenty of its own problems as well.
are all of these texts to the same person? could it be them/their phone?
Nah it's crazy. I know of 4 different phones it has done this with, 2 iphones and 2 other droids.
I'm pretty good with troubleshooting things, but I'm not really sure what else I can do for this other than an sbf LOL.
I need my phone to do two things, at the bare minimum: make calls and text. That's it haha. This might force me to put the old X2 out to pasture if I can't fix it; because I doubt Verizon will fix it, they'll probably just charge me for a pre-owned replacement.

it made me really mad a few years ago when my mother ran over her Voyager and they sent her a refurbished phone as a replacement. the first one they sent her even had a bad esn. she cried. i raged. and i havent payed for "insurance" since. i just get a good case as my "insurance"
i guess that delayed and sometimes mis-sent text is just something we have to live with in order to enjoy technology. i cant say that i have had this issue much, if at all. unless i was running cm7. sorry about your luck sir.
I have tried to fix this issue myself and spent many hours on it but I am at a loss. so I'm hoping someone here has some insight.
I can send text messages just fine and I can receive them "mostly" without any issue. However I noticed over the past few months people saying they texted me and when I look I never got them. When I pull my text logs from Verizon the network shows they were received so the issue is definitely local on my device. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for it, and it's never a huge blackout just random ones missing here and there. It can be mid conversation or someone who hasn't sent me anything for days.
I'm sure it's one app causing the issue but I have so many I don't know how to identify which one it is. I use my phone for work so I'd really like to avoid having to do a factory reset as I can't afford to slowly install apps one by one to see if the issue disappears mainly because the problem is so hard to replicate. Anyone know of a method to identify this? Maybe some sort of Hijackthis? I'm out of ideas. Thanks
