I noticed today my text messages were still showing "sending" in the bottom right corner of the text i just wrote. Not sure whats going on or what I can do. Im not rooted, and everything is stock. But people are saying they're not getting my texts, or if they are they're coming in wayyyyy late. Any suggestions as to why this is? I dont want to flood my friends with texts...
Its Tmobiles problem. Recently I've been having people tell me that I reply waaaay too late. Turns out there getting my messages 2 hours later

Oh ok. Hopefully it gets fixed soon
is it tmobile?!
i haven't had this issue yet
It is. I guess its due to the data plan. Im not sure but I've tried some tests.. I used my sisters cliq xt and there was the same lagg as on my vibrant. It would send about 10-15 then the rest would Lagg it about an hour or two. I used my moms samsung gravity with her sim and no Lagg. I had a 50 message conversation and no lagg at all I used my sisters samsung comeback and once again no lag. I even tried my sisters iphone with my moms sim meaning no data and nothing. No lag at all. So im guessing it has to do with data?

Ive had issues on Bell with text messages failing. They insist it is a phone problem. Samsung suggests a factory reset. While that may solve the problem, its not worth the time to me.

Anyone else experiencing receiving multiple Sms messages. If so does anyone know how to fix it?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Yes I have the same problem. Don't know the solution though. I got 5 of one sms and 3 of another today. Very annoying.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Is this happening from all contacts, or just a select few? If a select few, check to see if the messages coming from are from one carrier. I've had this happen to me a few times on another phone. The issue was from the other carrier, not much you can do anything about except report the issue to customer service. If you are on limited texting plan at least, otherwise ignore it.
It's from multiple carriers for me.

This has been happening to me a lot also. I have tried to do pretty much everything, but nothing has worked. I tried handcent's option to replace the stock messaging system, which only lead to me not receiving about 50% of texts. Hopefully someone has a fix for this? It's very annoying

Sorry bud, I can't parse your message here.
Yup same problem.. duplicate messages even with the stock app..
Call Verizon just for the purpose of them getting the message.
It's annoying when you get 6 messages.. I wonder if it's counting as multiple txt on the bill..

i would like to hope its doubtful that its costing extra as its mostly a problem of the phone pulling the messages multiple times, basically not ticking the "received" box on the server side of things. afterall, it is easier to count them as they pass through the network versus your phone counting and reporting back, not very efficient... mines kicked up again recently.. and yes rather annoying...
I noticed this too but it only happened after I used ATK more aggressively. I rebooted my phone and the messages stopped coming in repeatedly. Seems to have gone away now that I'm rooted. Hope that helps someone out there.

Multi services?
Ok i intermitently have this same problem but noticed something interesting that may be related? I downloaded a startup manager program to see what was starting up on reboot yesterday and noticed there are 3 text message services running? Im assuming this may be the cause of multiple messages recieved so I have disabled 2 of the 3 instances and was still able to recieve sms but not sure if this will fix the issue or not
If you look that is the text msg app listening to different events, not 3 copies of it loading.
Im using stock because I love it, but all of my recieved texts are coming in from an hour later, even though my phone says current time. So when i reply, my messages aren't at the bottom. I cleared data, rebooted, no go. Anyone know how to fix?
It was working fine until i went across the border from eastern timezone to central, then the phone has ever since had this bug...!

The only thing the OTA actually did was update a few apps... the phone doesn't reboot after finishing or anything. Doesn't change any of the radios or anything from what I noticed.
Would a factory reset fix this? I'm not roaming anymore and it's still displaying an hour later.

download "sms time fix" from the market like jaskwith said, set it to use phone time and BAM! your troubles are gone. this is an easy fix. no need for a hard reset
I recommend simply updating your Profile and PRL on your device. I had that happen to a friend and once I updated those two things for her, her problem went away.

Have you rooted your phone or flashed a radio? Maybe try updating your PRL or profile? If all else fails I guess you could get on the sprint.com chat and have them reset something on their end. I'm pretty sure its closed right now though

Something similar happened to me this week while I was on a business trip to San Diego. I've been rooted for a while, but still running stock ROM. I did not get the error 16 after rooting though.
Fastforward a couple weeks, I'm in San Diego for a couple of days and as soon as I get there, voice/msg'ing don't work but data was fine.
After calling Sprint and getting transferred around a little, the final person pushed something to my phone. I powered down pulled the batt for a minute then everything was good to go.
I'd call Sprint if I were you.

When it gives you the error 16 are staying on the line till someone picks up? When i had this problem they were the only ones that could fix the problem. I called support first and they were no help. I decided to let the error 16 call connect and she fixed the problem in like 2 mins.
I'm in the Atlanta area, and have no issues. Actually, since I got the new radio, data speeds have been better. ...but, not having any phone issues with dropped calls or signal.

Has anyone come across a rom or something else that prevents the data throttle? I've looked everywhere, there's an app that doesn't seem to work and all the other methods seem to be dead since T-Mobile started regulating it from there side

I agree they are hit and miss on the throttle. I always seem to get the message but if I run a speed test sometimes I'm still getting full speeds.
Yeah, that's the same with me. Although it would be nice if "unlimited data" ment unlimited, not slow.

I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.

When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.
