So this is an issue that I have seen many a variation on, but none quite like this. The issue is that some texts from folks I receive fine others are sporadic. It seems to vary from day to day and person to person. I can receive a text from someone and respond then not get any other from that person after. Others I gave been able to receive from in the past but do not receive now. I am running GSB 2.2 with the latest vzw radio for the Eris (2.42.01.04.27), using GO sms with the stock messenger installed, but notifications turned off. I've tried a reflash, Full wipe and Flash, *22899, APN backup from a 2.1 rom, tried the spn provided by roirraW "edor" ehT no change. This has happened with chomp also. I am at a loss. It's a shame, because work shed has made a awesome phone out of my little Eris. Any thoughts?
Missing Texts solved
After some experimentation on my part I have discovered that as GoSMS states in its help section, you can remove the stock application but is not recommended. That'll teach me to read more closely before removing apps . So a heads up for all you GOSMS users out there. leave the stock app installed. I have had zero issues with texts since I updated to a newer version of GSB, which reinstalled the stock sms app.

right,
my wifes starting to lose her temper with her hero.
she send over 150 text messages a day, but receiving them seems to be a very hit and miss affair.
she gets texts ok for a while, then gets nothing for 10-20 mins (from what i can tell) then all the ones she has missed arrive all at once.
orange UK have basically told her to naff off and talk to HTC.
so, can anyone tell me whats causing the problems, is it an orange problem, or a phone problem.
if its the phone, whats causing the problem
doing a bit of a search, one explanation seems to be that the phone is running out of memory and it shuts down the text app and relaunches it later on, if so, how can i prevent/stop this happening.
she is on the current rom from HTC which she installed about 10 days ago to try and prevent this.
thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give
from what i have read on the forum it might be a problem with the stock messaging app.
try installing handcent sms or chomp sms from the market and see how that goes.
don't forget to turn off the notifications from the stock sms app or you will get multiple notifications for the same message.
also if your wife is using task killer applications she should put the messaging app on the ignore list!
Me too!
I am having this very same problem, although on a slightly smaller scale (150 texts/day?!). I also get the problem where callers are going straight to my voicemail when the phone is right beside me, receiving full signal, which, to my mind, would seem to be related.
I spoke to Orange who fobbed me off with "oh, there's a mast down in your area, switch to use 2G only", despite my protestations that the problem occurred when I was in different parts of the country...
Interestingly, it happened with my Touch Diamond as well when I first got that, about 18 months ago; I was never sure that it was completely cured, but it sure as hell wasn't as bad as it is now on my 2 month old Hero with stock Orange ROM.
My twopenneth, for what it's worth.
P.
Try a new updated Radio rom maybe? One way to tell if its a network issue is to make calls to 150 for about 10 seconds and see if the stuck messages come through, if so its a network issue. I wouldn't let orange customer service fob you off they don't have the reporting tools to actually look into the issue's.
I've never heard of SMS being a hardware issue, but hear me out.
I received a replacement phone from Verizon and kept it stock for about two weeks. Every now and then people would tell me they got duplicate texts from me so I switched from Handcent to the stock Messages app. I had the same problem even after uninstalling Handcent plus I noticed about half my messages fail. So finally I've had enough, rooted, installed BAMF (1.8 the Froyo radio one). It did the same thing - even before restoring any apps. I even tried Plain Jane v2 and some other basic debloat ROM. All had the same issues...
Any ideas on how to fix this? I did a full wipe between all roms. I also tried deleting all messages and clearing data and cache from the Messages application.
I'm thinking I should just unroot and send it to Verizon for a replacement.
Have you tried other MR1 radios besides the stock radio?
No. I didn't think of that. I'll give that a shot
That seems to have worked! Thanks!
Ok, I've been searching the forums for a few days looking for an answer to this but have been unable to find one. I'm running a rooted X2 with the V6 script and for the past week or so my phone has been weird. I'll get MMS messages one day from one sender and they'll try the next day and it'll never go through, I'm getting this problem from all carriers. I use Handcent but for a few days I uninstalled it and used only the stock text messaging app and still had the same problems. I also, at times will not receive any notification at all that I have an SMS and then when I check my phone I'll have duplicate messages from numerous all come in at once when they've only sent the message one time. So far, the things I've tried are battery pulls, updating roaming capabilities, turning the V6 script off, and using different messaging apps and have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
There is an ongoing issue with SMS/Kmart messages in another thread. Probably a good idea to merge them. You've tried all the suggestions I would give.
I am running SHIFTS3NS3 1.6 with lean kernel 5.01 set to normal...
Since last Friday I can not receive TXT msgs properly. I was using Chomp SMS and read all the threads that I could find and could not find anything about it.
Pulled battery, rebooted, cleared cache, installed 2 different SMS programs... received 2 TXT messages and then... nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Know of any threads that I have missed?
Thanks...
Did your phone get Unprogrammed? You may need to call in and activate it again. I had that happen to me once when I was flashing roms.
I can still make calls... I can send txt... Could it still be deactivated?
No if you can make calls you are fine. Could be an outage in your area I have had that happen before.
Try reseating the sim card

What Leak is SHIFTS3NS3 1.6 based off of. If it is a GB leak prior to 605.5 there is a known issue.
Some phones will receive some but not all SMS messages. The GB 605.5 leak seems to have corrected the issue.
If SHIFTS3NS3 1.6 is based off an older leak and you love it, extract the message.apk from 605.5 leak and install it on your phone
I was having this problem on a bunch of ROMS until they were updated
The 1.6 is based off the 605.3 so maybe that is what is causing it.. I have tried everything else listed... The Dev is said to update the ROM to the newest 605.5 soon... so I hope that will fix it. If I knew how to extract the message.apk from the new one I would do that too... but sadly I am not that far advanced yet.
Thanks,
Hey all,
I purchased this phone off Amazon about 6 weeks ago and instantly feel in love with it. And this was right before they announced that Sony would be selling these phones in local retailers in the US.
I've noticed for the last few weeks now, however, that some texts are coming in multiple times. It can range from 3-7 times that I receive the same text, and you can imagine how annoying that'd be. Sometimes, when I send a text to someone, I'll receive a duplicate of the previous text I got from whoever last texted me. Sometimes, I won't receive a text until much later- up to hours later. To top it off, sometimes MMS or group texts won't come through without prompting me to download the text. It wasn't bad at first, as it would happen sparingly, but now it's constant.
I've tried many options, from
- switching and updating/downgrading texting apps (Hangouts, Messenger, Stock texting app)
- editing and switching APN settings
- clearing my phone's cache.
To give some context, I transferred over my data from my Moto X 2013 and moved everything to my SD card the next day after transferring everything. The phone is not rooted. I'm also on AT&T but haven't contacted them about the issues yet (I would rather avoid hours of basic troubleshooting, unless they can actually fix it).
I'd really like to not have to lose all my text messages, and I shouldn't have to. Has anyone else had a similar problem and managed to fix it? What other routes should I try? If factory reset is the only option, what's the best way to back up and restore all my data (contacts, photos, texts)?

are you using the stock texting app? I had these issues when I tried to use a 3rd party messenger a very long time ago. other than that Ive not had this issue.
also maybe check out your system time, something might be up with your towers in the area. I use clocksync as cricket had issues a few months back and I fell in love with the app.

Thanks for the reply,
I use Hangouts as my default texting app. The week that I used the Stock Texting app, I still received duplicates and delayed texts, so I switched back to an interface that I enjoyed more. (Also, the Stock texting app is sometimes really slow when opening conversations)
My system time is on point, but I went ahead and turned off automatic sync for the time and dates.
What settings do you use for Clocksync, and did it fix any texting issues? I just now installed it.
Update to Marshmallow. See if that fixes the problem

Come to think of it google talk is what I was using when I was having those issues haha. probably not related but its something to keep in mind.
i use 1 hour intervals only when awake. idk if you need to be rooted or not for it to work.
There may be a problem with your sim card. Had this a while ago on another phone. Got the sim card replaced and it was gone
A few days later and I have some updates:
1. Have yet to change out my sim card. I will be going to ATT tomorrow to see if that fixes the issue.
2. Marshmallow update is not yet available. However, if I read it right, won't it disable using an external sd card? I wouldn't want to be rid of that feature, it was a big selling point for me.
3. I switched to the stock text message app, and it seemed to work well. It stopped duplicated texts from happening, but some MMS texts don't come through to me at all, and if they do they appear much later. Some texts I receive don't come in until about at least an hour after the contact sent it. Sometimes even 7 hours. Not to mention, the app itself is terribly slow.
4. I tried to switch back to Hangouts for a day after downgrading the app and using the stock texting app, but still had the existing issues from before.
5. Clocksync hasn't done anything for me.
Double Post,
Update:
It appears that getting a new SIM card did the trick after all. Went to the store on Saturday, days ago, and the texts don't appear to be duplicating and they seem to be showing up on time. I'm even back on Hangouts again. Yay!
You just need the patience to deal with how busy the store may be.
If anything changes, I'll let y'all know.
