[Q] Delivery Reports - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted Atrix on At&t and enabled delivery reports through root explorer and the messaging app but all of my messages appear as "pending" even after i know they've been received, how can this be fixed?

Had a problem with delivery reports as well... the stock messaging app on the atrix does not seem to support it. I remember being in the US this year with a NEXUS ONE though (as vanilla as it gets), and still not getting delivery reports - I suspect AT&T as such does not support it. If that is so, you're out of luck.
You can try GoSMS (it's what I use) that has delivery reports as a feature, see if that fixes it for you. Remember to switch off notifications in the stock app to avoid getting double notifications.

Received time of sent messages - how to see it?

Back when I was using Symbian nokia, it was easy to see both sent and received time of the text messages I sent. However, in Android all I have is the 'sent' time and no information on when is has been received by the recipient, other than the fact it has been received.
How can I access this info?
It seems to be a known Android limitation. You can check the discussion that is going on since 2009 here:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2989
You might be able to overcome the problem by installing an app called "SMS Timestamper Fix" available on the market.
I believe that only works with the stock messaging app and I have not tested it myself but probably worths a shot.
Good luck.
I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing.
SMS timestamp fixer remedies the issue where the incoming sms is one or two hours out of sync with local time.
What I am talking about is the access to the information when the person I am sending the message to actually received this message - after, say, her phone has been switched on.
The description on the market of the app I mentioned reads:
Description
This app will fix the timestamp on incoming SMS to the time that the message was SENT, not when received by your phone.

I thought that was exactly what you were looking for. But, as I said, I didn't test it. The comments on the market are encouraging though.
No, no, no. This is something totally different to what I want.
I am using SMS timestamp fixer since a long time. It is a totally different problem I am talking about here.
So what you want is a read receipt or delivery notification (with a timestamp) which is also a known problem on Android:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2305
It seems that Handcent SMS has that function working partially, from what I read on the linked thread. Have you tried that?
From what I see, this is about delivery notification. I am getting it just fine (pending / failed / received).
What I am NOT getting is the information at what time the message has been delivered to the handset.

[Q] Facebook Messenger and Delivery Reports

Hi guys! Many user are facing a serious issue with Facebook Messenger: it automatically activate the Delivery Report in SMS when using it as the main SMS app. So, what's the matter? Well, the problem is that in some country (as here in Italy) the delivery reports are billed 0,20 € each!! Many users spent near 10€ to realize where the problem is.
So my questions is : is there a way to "mod" the facebook messenger app to disable this terrible delivery reports "functionality"?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time!
There should be a check box in messanger settings that controls the all messages in one app function.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I know that checkbox, but what we are looking for is a way to disable only the delivery reports while keeping the SMS support of facebook messenger.
This is a very common option in the most of SMS apps (like go sms or handcent, etc.), but in facebook messenger the only option that we have is only SMS on/off.

I would also like a way to disable/enable the delivery reports while keeping the facebook messenger as the default app for SMS/MMS.
Has any one found a solution to this yet?
Thanks!
P.S. Also, How do I know a sms was delivered? I mean I still haven't seen a delivery report. What does a delivery report look like in the facebook messenger?

I totally agree! I can't understand the point of adding the delivery report without even using it! Maybe in the future updates they'll add some note under the sent messages, like what they do with the standard facebook messages.
There is no delivery option ???
Where exactly you guys see the delivery report? in my messenger app version supporting sms/mms, I don't see any delivery raport, but I would like to see that. Samsung stock app sends sms after every sent sms, which is very annoying, that why I switched to messenger, but no delivery raport included option
Yes, as far I know, Facebook Messenger SMS Integration still no Delivery Reports features... I will happy use it if this features (Delivery Report) has available

[Q] - How can I fix Lollipop notification bug

Ever since lollipop came out my phone no longer gives me instant notifications. Often times I will receive them an hour after I should have. Generally, the notifications that are lagging are emails from gmail app and messages from the meetup app among others. After the 5.0 update came out I've read numerous posts online about this issue and that turning off wifi connection will make the notifications push through just fine. That worked for awhile, but with the recent update to 23c(i think) not even that works.
I rooted my phone in hopes to fine a kitkat rom to use, as it was lollipop that effectively ruined the use of my phone. Though I've also noticed that some of the lollipop roms (skydragon) claim to fix the issue by disabling IPv6, yet skydragon somehow disabled push notifications all together. So my question is, how do I fix this notification issue. Is there an app/script i can install to fix it? Or is there a good rom I can use that will work? Thanks.
This may not be strictly related to Lollipop. On May 29, I received the following eMail from Google:
Starting on June 27th, 2015, SMS notifications from Google Calendar will no longer be sent. SMS notifications launched before smartphones were available. Now, in a world with smartphones and notifications, you can get richer, more reliable experience on your mobile device, even offline.
To receive notifications on your smartphone, either configure the calendar app that came with your device or install Google Calendar for Android or iPhone. For more information on how to configure notification defaults, check out the Help Center.

This bug was fixed with the 24b update. And yes @DeanGibson it is related to the 23c lollipop update.

Signal messenger unsecured SMS will not send over 160 characters

I've been attempting to use Signal as my default SMS app for the convenience of not switching between two different apps for messages. It mostly works fine, but as the title says, if I send a long SMS that needs to be split into multiple messages, it always fails to send. I'm on US Cellular, if that matters. It doesn't have an issue with this functionality in the default app (Google's Messages) or the other third party SMS app I tend to use, Pulse SMS from Luke Klinker. It also doesn't have any options to convert long SMS to MMS, as some apps do.
Googling for the issue, I was able to find some similar problems for specific model of phones from a few years ago, but that had all appeared to have been reported on and patched at that time.
Is anyone else using Signal on their V30? If so, can you successfully send a long text message?
If anyone has any suggestions or anything, let me know. Otherwise I'll try to report it to the Signal team soon.

S9 messages app bug?

Ok so I have a weird problem to report. After installing the latest Oreo update over-the-air from T-Mobile this morning, I installed the Galaxy S9 messages app from apkmirror.com, the one with the blue icon.
The messages that functions normally like you would expect it to but any time I get a text message from my wife who has a Galaxy S9, I get the text message twice. This issue can only be reproduced by receiving a text message from My Wife and nobody else.
I have been searching for a solution to this problem and I have already wiped the apps data and cache multiple times but nothing has fixed the problem.
Has anybody who has installed the S9 messages app from apkmirror.com run into the same problem and if so, how have you fixed it?
Update: it seems I'm getting duplicates from all my friends who have T-Mobile android devices, regardless of manufacturer or software version.
This happens randomly to me as well, it doesn't happen all the time but I think it is from those on tmobile as well that send me messages. I'd wait and see if it just clears up on its own. Or switch to another messaging app.

I have since uninstalled the updated version of Samsung messages and the bug is no longer present.
I was hoping for a solution or work around that didn't involve uninstalling the update but perhaps it's a bugged version of the app. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a newer version, hopefully one from a note build and not an s9 build.

If you don't mind sharing - how did you uninstall the updated Messages app? I have the same sporadic duplicate thing going on, so want to go back to stock app. Thank you

Go to settings > apps > messages and click the 3 dot menu button and click uninstall updates.
Update! I have officially figured out what is causing the duplicate text messages after updating to the latest messages app.
In the newest releases, like the ones that came on the S9 and S9+, samsung integrated the message service app into the messages app. This, for some, is causing duplicate text messages when receiving messages from people who are on the same service provider who's devices also have advanced messaging with chat features.
To fix the problem of duplicate texts, you will need to purchase and install package disabler pro ($2.50 - don't be cheap...) from the play store and disable message service app and reboot.

That's all there is to it enjoy no longer getting duplicate text messages just as I am.
Happy Tuesday!
