I just got my Thrive about a week ago and am noticing that sometimes text messages are 4-6 minutes late to my phone. I dont think I have a problem sending. What usually happens is I get sent a text but I do not receive it. The person that sends it to me then sends me another one asking why I havent replied. Then a few minutes later I get them both at the same time. It is very hard to keep a conversation with this issue. Can anyone help me? I am not using any of the sms replacement apps at the moment. I did but once I noticed the delay, i got rid of it to make sure it was not the app's fault and now it still happens
Contact the carrier?
The reason i dont think it's AT& T issue is that my previous phone did not have this issue and i am located is the same which is my home

Hey everyone,
I haven't been having the best of luck. I use to be with Rogers, and owned a basic phone, and never had any issues. I got fed up with their customer service, and switched to Telus back in December. Obviously, I decided to pick up the HTC Amaze, and after a week of playing around with it, I really enjoyed it and decided to keep it.
A week later, friends started mentioning to me that I was sending out duplicate text messages to them. I was concerned since they don't have unlimited text messaging, and gave Telus a call. First they told me it was probably a buggy phone, and they gave me a new one, no charge at all, for the buggy phone.
Now that I'm on my second Amaze, things seemed to work fine. Couple weeks pass and the problem starts again. This time, I'm receiving the duplicate text messages from my friends. Me, getting really annoyed with waking up in the middle of the night to a text and finding out that its the same text from hours ago, called Telus back the next morning. They told me my SIM card needed an update. And I said "okay". After the update, I started receiving, AND sending duplicate messages.
Once again, I called them being extremely fed up, and told me to write down the times of the duplicate messages were received, and sent out. Here I am, 4 months later, with my second Amaze, 3 tech support calls, 2 pages full of days and times I received and sent duplicate text messages (thanks to my kind friends letting me know when they received doubles).
Before I call them for HOPEFULLY the last time, have any other Telus users have the same issue? Have you gotten it resolved? If so, how? What steps did you take? My phone is rooted, so if there are possibly any mods or patches, please let me know.
Even if you're not with Telus, and still have experienced these issues, I'd love to hear your stories/solutions as well.
I have had the same problem intermittently and have been told by others using telus that they have had that problem too. It hasn't been annoying enough yet for me to contact telus about it and since i have unlimited texting there hasn't been a cost issue for me.
I've had issues with telus over this in the past, and it isn't your phone, and it definitely isn't your sim card! Its telus' network. If anyone's getting charged over extra messages a call to your provider letting them know that you're getting duplicate messages will resolve that. But I still get duplicates, sometimes triple messages! Its annoying, but its not on your end. I've been with telus since 2001, and ever since I had my old LG Fastap I've been getting duplicate messages
Its never been excessive though, maybe 3-4x a week.
same issue here, mainly been receiving the double texts, happens with different friends from different networks so who knows what the issue is.
I have been with telus for 10 years now and this occasionally happens, at one point i was getting 5-6 duplicates of the same message over the course of an hour, that was really annoying. Only for the past month have i been getting the duplicate messages which happen back to back quite quickly.
im on unlimited messaging as well so dont think much of it.
I am not sure what happened but last night while on a call to Sprint about shoddy service in an area on my way home. I was trying to txt my other half and it kept failing. Has anyone else seen this issue?

I've had multiple picture texts fail even while not on the phone. Long press the message and resend, and it goes right thru. Pretty annoying when I'm trying to brag to my Girlfriend as to why my phone is so much better than her iPhone.
Would be great if that worked for me. I'm thinking of going back to the stock msg app.

Why are my text message always delayed? It can takes 30 minutes for someone to get a message from me or they just usually say "pending". I'm on CleanROM ICS. Any ideas on why this is happening? I have full 4G bars.
That's usually a network error

The txt message part is still handled on the old 1X ( cdma ) side of the network. I believe this still applies with 4G; at least at this time.
I have noticed this with being with Verizon starting about 2007. I use to be subscribed to a service that sent me txt updates every few minutes. It was easy to see the delays, and when you got literally 5-8 messages all at the same time, with all the same time stamp, but received by the network at all different times, it was very noticeable.
I complained about this and informed them that this problem never occurred until i got this new phone, so i literally went through about 5 or 6 warranty replacements even a different model without a change. Interesting enough, going back to the old phone the problem stopped.
I took the complaint to the highest level, and they literally had no explanation as to why this was happening after monitoring my traffic. They were stumped. I did some research and noticed that a new cdma chipset came out about a year earlier, and i suspect, but can't prove that is the culprit, and i would bet that that same chip-set or a variation of it is still in use today... my theory anyway.
I emailed my vzw contact, and got no response... imagine that!

I'm on the latest stock RUU and my sent messages usually take at MAX 1 minute to appear to the reciever. It might be just the ROM.

First, some back story:
On Monday, I attempted to do a profile update. The update failed, and I lost data, texts, and voice. All subsequent attempts to update my profile resulted in either a vDM Client crash or an error 1012, which means that my phone has no credentials on Sprint's network. PRL updates result in the same error.
I have gotten data back, and I can make calls and send texts, but I do not receive calls or texts; if I ever get a text, I'll get it almost literally a day later than it was sent. The only time I receive these texts, I'm roaming.
Usually the solution to this would probably be fairly simple: just use EPST to reset my data profile, or run an RUU. Well, two problems there:
1) EPST does not work. At all. Typing in ANY of the codes does absolutely nothing. I tried it stock (which I have been since I got the phone), and I then rooted and tried other .apks, and then I RUU'd and tried again. Still nothing.
2) The RUU didn't fix my issue; I still cannot complete a profile update or receive calls or texts.
I'm leaving for college in Maryland on the 16th of August, so I need to get this straightened away. I'm going to be too far away from home to have to deal with not getting calls or texts.
I purchased the phone for full, off contract price through Sprint at the beginning of June, since I didn't have an upgrade available. I do not have insurance on the device, and I didn't think to get it because I've never damaged a phone or had problems with a phone before.
At this point I'm convinced that I'll need to get a replacement. The only thing I worry about is how much they'll try to charge me for the replacement. I hope it isn't too much, because this was a fault of their network and not something that I caused. And, since I'm going to college in a month, I don't really have a lot of money to use on a cellphone.
So, to anybody who has had to exchange the phone for a replacement, what kind of fees am I looking at in order to get this fixed?
I had the same problem on my evo lte and on my s3 apparently meid on my number switched my s3 was screwed up called sprint it was on there side for the mix problem they sent me a data reset to my phone fixed the meids apparently and I got everything working back as soon as the phone rebooted give them a call and ask them to reset your phone and fix it on there side

I've already gone through a phone call, and they weren't able to figure it out. It sounds like you had the exact problem that I'm having though. Maybe another call will solve the problem.
Yeah did I got the same error code lol check if your phone number is correct first and then ask them to reset it for you I have to do some pound thing then enter a code that sprint only knew then they fixed it on there end apparently they were receiving I was connected to them but it was sending back from Sprints side

Haven't called yet. I'm going to be too busy to really need a phone the next couple of days, and then I'll call after that.
I got a few text messages on time, maybe things are improving.

My phone doesn't retrieve messages in a timely manner.
I turned off my phone on Tuesday and turned it back on Wednesday and a text message popped up. I replied the sender back and the recipient said the text was sent on Tuesday.
So yeah I'm shocked that I'm one day late.
How do I fix this problem?

Wait, am I missing something lol, this isn't adding up to a problem
If your phone is off, it won't receive a text, it's not running lol.
The only issue I can see it having to do specifically with a bug is if both you and your friend have network connectivity and its been quite a long time between them sending and you turning your phone off and you still haven't received anything, then maybe there's an issue.
Could you maybe explain more?
Don't turn your phone off if you want to immediately receive messages people send you after you turn it off
It delivers late if u poweroff
