[Q] SMS not coming through? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been having a issue with SMS for months now and its getting really irritating. One day I noticed none of my SMS were being replied to, not normal. Something happened and forced me to reboot the phone. After it fully loaded, a slew of SMS & MMS came crashing through. this has been going on for a while. If i notice I haven't gotten a response, etc, I reboot and low and behold, all my msgs come through!
Whats wrong? All of my outgoing txts are fine, its the receiving end that is messed up. We had very severe storms here in Dallas yesterday. I get weather warnings/alerts on my phone from our local news station but not yesterday... I rebooted this morning only to have 36 sms come through, half of which were severe weather alerts.
I am on the official AT&T 2.2 rom
BB is 31
Build 697

delayed text messages

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.

Cant receive certain SMS

There seems to be alot written about SMS issues with 4G phones. I can received SMS messages from certain people/site but not others.
For example, I get an SMS immediately when I send one to myself via the VzW site at https://text.vzw.com/customer_site/jsp/messaging_lo.jsp
However, when I text HELP to 466453 (GOOGLE) I get nothing back.
There seems to be an issue with receving message outside VzW vs inside VzW.
Any suggestions?
Running Go SMS on BAMF Forever 1.06 patched with vmail fix, latest 906 radios and imoseyon 3.8 kernel.
take out battery and Sim card for like an hour... only thing that fixed that issue for me.
For me I was able to send/receive from everyone it seemed other than my wife... lol. I could receive, but not send any to her. After taking them both out and then finally putting them back in my wife received like 30 messages from me within 5 mins of me putting them back in

[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

[Q] Cannot Receive SMS Text Only

Just today stopped receiving all SMS texts. Spent over an hour with AT&T, guess what happened there.... anyways.....
• I can send texts fine, recipients all get my texts promptly
• This happened just today, all day, in multiple areas, full or half battery,2/3/4 out of 4 bars, in/out of wifi range, etc...
• AT&T had me uninstall GO SMS Pro which I did reluctantly, and of course fixed nothing
• I get texts on Kik/Whatsapp fine from 4G/LTE and wifi just fine
• On Android 4.3 still, heard they up to 4.4.2, but this only stopped working today, so not sure if thats relevant
• Havent had time to upgrade my CM but I know I should, but again I dont think my texts sending have anything to do with that all of a sudden today, although I thought it was curious AT&T told me their new Android update came out today, tremendous coincidence.
Any thought/suggestions/experiences?

No notification on incoming text messages

I have had a HTC One Max now for almost two years. Over the last few weeks, incoming text notifications for the most part have stopped. The phone ringer works fine every time, but 90% of the time I have to just check my phone to see if I have an incoming text. I am using Mood SMS, but that apparently is not the problem. I also have the same issue if I use ChompSMS or the stock messaging app. Notifications are turned on, on both MoodSMS and the stock app. I have tried clearing cache and have even done a factory reset of the phone, and this is still happening. The phone is stock 4.4.2 and is temporarily rooted using Weaksauce2. It has been this way for months with no problems, so I do not think I can blame it. As a side note, last week we had severe storms and tornado warnings, and I also never received any notification or alarms for them. My wife's and co-workers phones all went off like crazy during the storm warnings. I am baffled! Does anybody have any ideas on what the problem could be? Any help would be appreciated!!
