Is anyone else noticing it takes longer than usual (for an android phone) to send an SMS? I sent a 5 message long SMS (700+ characters) and it was on "Sending" for almost a minute. I know it takes longer to send longer messages, but on previous phones (D1, Fascinate), the "Sending" process would work in the background - so I can actually do other stuff on the phone while it sends. But the HTC Messaging app sends in the foreground, so I'd have to wait until it finishes sending to continue using the phone. I assume this is just the HTC Messenger app itself?
No issue w/ that on my end; however, had issues sending/receiving likely due to a previously discussed issue that a reply to number is sent with the messages initially that results in your friends not being able to reply back. A simple reboot seems to fix that for most people or you can disable that option in the messages menu from what I've read... but hadn't heard anything about delays in sending long messages yet...

Anyone else have issues with texts sometimes not sending and then suddenly sending a bunch at once?
I don't notice it on my end, and this comes when I use handcent since I have GV forward texts to the phone and have notifications turned off for GV on the phone.
So even though my phone shows the text as sent there have been multiple times when people will receive 10 or so texts at say 5 am.
Then today I just received 2 that were sent on sunday but they even just arrived in GV as well as the phone.

I've experienced the same issue. Also have GV enabled but am using a stock ROM and the stock messaging app. Very odd behavior. Stock message app indicates the sms was sent, but GV and the receipt have not received.
At some future point in time, sometimes a few days later, the SMS will be correctly sent and GV will show and receipt will receive. Haven't been able to narrow down the issue. Very odd bug.
I would speculate its either related to some delay between Sprint and GV or some delay on our device ... My friend has no issues with their NS4G using Sprint and GV so that leads me to think its related to our specific device ...
Any other information anybody has gathered could help us narrow the issue down?
I'm not on stock, so it's not rom specific I guess
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.

I have now had my M9 for 2 days. As with my M8 on 5.0.2, texting seems to restart frequently. There is a delay on incoming messages and every time you start the app it seems to reload messages.
When you start the app the contacts appear but when you go to a contact the messages area is blank, the timing circle appears and many seconds later the messages appear. New messages may or may not appear for an even longer period.
After several texts you get either am 'Messages is Restarting' message or now I am getting an error report and a request to send data . . . .
This same thing that happened when my M8 upgraded to 5.0.2
Has anyone had the same problem or found a resolution . . .
I am not having that issue, but I am using GO SMS Pro and not stock messaging. Have you tried other messaging?
There is proper delayed of 10-15 seconds in between the moment I press send and the message is sent (1 tick appears) from my Sprint M9, the delay happens on all apps and it happens on WIFI and Mobile data both. This has really frustrated me and I really want to get rid of it already. Apart from that when I receive messages on whatsapp or snapchat I get the notification an hour or two late, this although doesnt happen with messenger, notifications of messenger are received instantly. Please help
I've got an Ulefone Armor 9 I recently purchased. As part of setting it up to work as desired, I swapped away from the default messaging app to one that supports dual SIM operation a bit more gracefully.
I've since noticed that after a prolonged idle, such as sleeping, the phone drops all SMS messages. It isn't that they don't send notifications -- they simply don't exist as far as I can tell. I tried a different messenger, and while it displayed the texts received with the other one, the missing messages weren't there either.
This doesn't appear to be an issue between the carrier and phone. Or, rather, if it is it's impacting both carriers at the same time, because sending text messages to both numbers when the problem is present results in neither being delivered. The carriers don't buffer the messages for later delivery as if the phone was offline, and calls come through okay but do not resolve the SMS issue.
I can reboot the phone or manually open the SMS app/bring it to the foreground, after which point I will start receiving messages again. Only ones sent after performing this activity, however. The prior ones are lost.
I've checked to ensure that the app itself is running in the background and Android says that it is. I've not got anything that should be pausing it (that I'm aware of), so I'm not sure why Android would stop sending it messages. I'm also not familiar enough with Android to know how the OS handles texts. Clearly there's some sort of storage & OS management, because the alternate app I tried as part of troubleshooting was able to pull my message history.
Has anyone got any ideas on further troubleshooting steps, or insight into how Android handles texts in general that might help narrow down the point of failure?

I'm not sure if this would help but try messing w/ "App Blocker's" settings for your SMS app or even disabling App Blocker altogether (in the settings menu under "smart assist" I think).

Unfortunately, it was already off, so no dice there. Ulefone pushed an update I thought might have fixed it, but after about 18 hours of idle I sent a test message and it fell into the void. Opened up the messenger app again and sent another and that one arrived without issue, but no sign of the first.
