texts lost in the abyss - HTC EVO 3D

Has anyone else been having problems with their texts never making it to the recipient?
I've been texting a verizon number a lot and every day, a few of my texts will never show up on the other end. I was wondering if anyone has faced this before.
I call tech support they had me do the usual, pull the battery, remote "refresh" but my texts are still getting lost in space.

Had a facebook message that didn't get received until like two years later

I had this problem. Til I disassociated my Sprint phone # with my Google voice acct. Problem solved.

So did you have one number that was both Google voice and Sprint? I currently have my Google voice forward stuff to my sprint number but I doubt that would be problematic.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

I linked my Sprint number to Google voice a while back to not use my Sprint minutes or texts. I didn't just forward. Once I undid it, my texts started working again, not one problem.
I originally had a separate GV number.

This has happened to me as well, I was asked by someone if I got a text because I never responded. But yeah, didn't get a thing

This happens to me too sometimes. Only thing is abt 2 days later, the texts come flooding in all at once. So Google voice is the culprit? Interesting...
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

Same exact thing for me. I logged into Google voice, clicked phones, unchecked my Sprint #, and all is working now.

This has happened to me consistently since I signed up with sprint two years ago.

Multiple Sms messages

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
i can't sent and receive mms since i write the number, who can resolve it?

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.

reboot, dial *228 (on Verizon) goes through the phone activation, problem solved.
Vzw tech said it could be the towers, or the phone... the only thing he was really sure about was that this fixed it.

Which option...1 or 2? I would assume #2.
I have done this FYI, it did not fix it.
Option 1 seemed to work for me.

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.

Multiple sms issue.

So since I've rooted and started flashing roms sms has been going crazy. Around midnight every night I have to reboot my phone because no phone calls will come in and no sms will come in outgoing works fine.
And the. When they do work I get each message about six times or more.
I use the stock sms and popup 7 and am running pkmn ROM any suggestions?

I had similar issues, and narrowed them down to my Airave. When I turn it off, the problem goes away (but reception gets worse, obviously).
Do you have an Airave in your house by chance?
This happened to me earlier this week. I had to exchange phones. Something must be going on!. Sprint could not fix it. I had to call my voice mail to get all my texts and calls to come in.!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I also had this issue, but it looks like it's my airave. Right now I can get text, but can't send any out while within range of my airave, unless I send it through Google voice. I think the signal emitted by the airave conflicts with the EVOLTEs antenna.

Glad to see I'm not the only one...its to late for me to exchange though

I ended up calling Sprint on that. The 2nd level tech said that Airave has been having issues on and off for a while, and they've been updating firmware on it pretty often, but he hasn't seen an improvement yet.
He had reset my Airave from his side (it does more than me hitting reset, according to him), and so far I'm not having this issue any more.
Well its been fine so far today after a couple of resets last night. I don't have an airave so I dont think that's my issue...hmmm

Maybe it's your network.... Maybe sprint is doing upgrades in your area.... Or they just have some issues in your area.
Here are some other opinions/ options

Now I remember why I always return my EVO

Ever since my first evo phone I've had the same issue where messages come in late and in the wrong order... I've only encountered this problem with sense phones
Does any one else have this issue?

I've had that problem but on my evo 3d and my gnex. But the gnex was a lot worse, I returned that one fast cause I had other issues.

Pretty sure that is an issue with or between carriers

Not sure if this is a phone related issue you are experiencing?
I will get messages in different orders sometimes but that's just SMS in general.
Are you using Sprint # with Voice integration? I use that and have few issues.
Its SMS is general, Ive been with Verizon, AT&T and now Sprint and Ive had that happen from each one.

No way it has anything to do with the phone. It just poles the towers for messages, it's up to the sms system to keep it all in order.

That's def not a reason to return your phone bc at times that will happen on all phones..no matter how "smart" they r
Your issue lies with Sprint, not this phone. It's happend on my original evo, the 3D this phone my wife's Samsung and also her LG and my nephews Epic.

Iv had this happen even w dumb phones its either poor signal on one end or carriers not communicating very well. Could also be a tower problem but not usually.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I Think it happens most when someone goes over their 160 character limit and one message that got split into 2 gets sent before the other.
This happens to me at work.
I work on the first floor of a hospital, and typically I'm roaming while I'm in the building. On my og evo I never roamed in the hospital but now I do the second I walk in the building.
All my texts come in with the time stamp 5 hours on the future.

Sounds like a signal issue rather than a phone issue.

I had an issue with text message time stamps when I lose signal in the subway. When I get signal again, the timestamp would show 7 hours ahead of time on the text, but the order is still correct in the text message thread if I send a message after. I changed my time settings to get Automatic date & time and time zone, and it seems to have fixed the issue. I haven't gotten many text messages when I don't have service, so I can't confirm that this works 100%. But the text messages I have received when out of signal (around 4 or 5 messages) show the correct time stamp (the time the person sent the message, not the time I receive it when I get signal again) after I did this. I just tested this by turning on airplane mode, and I am still getting the correct time stamp. Hope this helps.

Not Receiving Phone Calls

Running Viper, no kernels and no Google Voice used as a phone number, although I do have an account using GV, but just for texts. Anywho, calls are going straight to voicemail. I only get the VM notification icon to show someone called. I've wiped cache, etc., no change.
Any suggestion prior to wiping? No, the DTTM is not checked under call settings.

Ahh, good question. Phone works great, texts, etc. I just get all my calls sent to VM.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Google voice integration could have been messed up on server side. Maybe double check Google voice settings on phone and Google website, make a modification, save, modify back, save to see if that fixes the issue.
Also I had an issue last week where I was missing calls, vm not being pushed to visual voice mail (no vm notifications either), and texts were coming in hours late, not at all, or in bursts. But i could send text and make calls just fine. I updated my profile and prl with no luck. Eventually I had to call sprint for tech support for the first time in 14 years. They walked me through the process for doing a hands free first time activation on my phone and all my issues went away immediately.
Hope this helps

Yeah, thanks for the advice. I did both ##786#, and ##72786# today, and both did not allow the phone to ring. Weird!

Help before I Call Sprint???

So, I've posted this before with no success. I'm on Viper. I don't receive phonecalls. My calls go straight to VM. No Google Voice. Yet, when I was riding down the highway in another county, my phone rang. All options unchecked under settings. Any last ideas?

Weird in in CM10.2 and I didn't get any either (it wouldn't even let me place a call even though I had full bars) and when I tried to listen to my voicemail it said it couldn't be fetched

If anyone was curious, I had this issue resolved by a Sprint salesman. The techs and Sprint techs via phone could not fix the issue. It had something to do with the phone being provisioned with 3g/4g. He said he had never come across such a hard troubleshoot after so many dialer code resets, etc.

I had this problem on a palm pre, they had to reprovision my phone in order to get it to work.
