Been using my Razr maxx fine for 5 days now, and as of this morning, i am not receiving texts. I can send them, but i am not getting any. I have reset, hard reset, pulled the SIM card, rebooted, everything. the only thing that changed was installation of safestrap, and i know for a fact thats not the issue, because i froze it, rebooted, and tested again, still no texts. Im sure its "service issue" but there needs to be a way to fix it . Anyone know how?
It could be an issue with verizon. Give it a couple of hours or call them and ask. If they say they are unaware of any issue give it a couple of hours anyway. If evwrything was working and u didnt do anything it's not a problem with the phone ...... usually

Did you max your txt capacity in settings. Or delete the ones you have now. Try those two and see if you get txt now

I figured it out. After i rooted, i froze the stock text messages app (i use Chomp SMS). For whatever reason, i was still able to SEND messages, but incoming messages never got to the phone. once i unfroze the stock text app, they came back. So this one was entirely my fault.

My friend got a TB and can't send or receive pictures via mms. He gets the exact same message as a poster on a different forum:
"I just wanted to throw this out there as I have not found a solution...
I've had my Thunderbolt for like a week and a half now and for the majority its been great. Starting about yesterday, I've been unable to send or receive MMS/picture messages.
If someone sends me one, I get a little note in my conversation that says "so and so" is trying to send a message and lets me choose download or delete. This seems new to me, I don't remember seeing this notification in my text convo. If I choose download, it shows a little icon with a clock in it, as its trying to download the picture. After about 5 minutes, I get a notification that it failed because of a generic network failure.
A similar thing happens if I try to send a message to someone with a picture in it. My regular texting works fine and I can go on the internet perfectly. I've tried sending messages with WiFi and/or Mobile Data on/off... doesn't seem to make a difference.
Called VZW last night and they took me through battery pulls, SIM card pulls, and whatnot... didn't fix the problem. They were checking things on their end but did not see an issue. The last woman I got gave me two options, 1, she could open a network tix for me or 2, I could go to store and do a phone swap as I'm in my converage period. I told her to put in the tix for now, and perhaps I'd swap this weekend.
Anyone have any idea what is going on?"
So far nobody has answered. He's using stock rom, and the stock messaging settings / handcent settings match the way they are set on my Evo. If anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated.
is it on 3G or 4G? MMS will not work unless your in data coverage
Does not work on 3g, 4g, or Wi-fi.
what about sending it through regular messaging? I couldn't tell if he is using Handcent or using regular messaging. How about uninstalling Handcent?
The problem persists with or without handcent.
Make sure the picture being sent is not too big. If this doesn't do it you may have to call Verizon about it. Going back a few years I had an issue with my dumb phone. Couldn't receive picks. They had to reset my account. Also some providers don't always send pic messages so well to verizon. Have your friend have some on on Verizon send him a pic.

My phone doesn't seem to send all my text and i receive multiple messages from the same person for most og my messages anyone else having this issue
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
Have exactly the same issue. If install custom SMS clients as Handset or GoSMS pro - it will do things even worse. too many sms messages. Updating radio helped a little, but sometimes I find sms messages are not received by my phone in time... Also person who sends text messages to me says there are no devliery reports for any sms she sends to me.
If someone know how to solve multiple and missing SMS messages - please reply!
Experienced this issue on some XT910's. Apply the ota update 2.3.6 and it will be fine.
I applied OTA update and still got this annoying issue. SMS app (default) seems to be more accurate now in terms of receiving texts, but still got multiple incoming text messages 3rd party Sms app will make it only worse.
Have someone solved this?
Could be a faulty Sim card.

I had this issue as well. I ended up grabbing a Galaxy Nexus and use the same sim card without issue.
I like the razr a lot, this is not vs post. Just thought I could help rule out the sim card.

I had the same issue but I eventually ended up realizing it was only certain people who it was happening too.. Never had a issue sending but I eventually figured out it was people I knew on a certain carrier that were the ones I was getting double msg's sometimes triple..
I'm with Rogers and my friends on Telus send/receive was fine but those on Bell I would be able to send fine but whenever they would send me a msg i'd get it twice sometimes 3 times. Eventually it just stopped and all works fine.
My phones sms is all borked out. Phone is completely stock, unrootedx with the latest ota update.
My sms are ALWAYS timestamped wrong which seriously ****s with my ocd. Sent will he fine but received are always hours behind or ahead.
Also lately, phone won't send me my sms all day and then bam!! 12 messages all at once.
I have fine reception, never roaming, full bars of 3G almost always. What gives???

Are you using the AirRave (network extender) while at home? I am, and its been messing with my text messages since I switched to sprint. Doesn't matter which phone (OG Evo, Evo lte, Epic). Time stamps are screwy, duplicates sent, and sometimes it cuts the 1st half of my message off which makes my texts look like I'm crazy... lol... Only happens when I'm connected to the AirRave at home though...
I've had this sort of thing happen to me two or three times over the last 5+ years with Sprint. It was incredibly irritating, but it did go away on it's own after about two days. If it's happening to you for longer than that... I'd be concerned. And to second the above post, if you're using an Airave, all bets are off when it comes to text messages. I'm currently a month into back and forth phone calls to Sprint about getting mine replaced to see if that fixes my sms issue.
Use ICS tranquility and your timestamps will NEVER be wrong.
Not using Airrave.. its been going on for about two weeks now o__o
Thanks for the tip on ics tranquility, will definitely check it out!!
maybe this will work
I had this happen to me just a couple days ago, but I was not receiving or able to send sms at all. I went into a sprint store and the rep told me he had to call in to have my text messaging codes reset. So he called in and reset it and it worked! He said you should be able to do it over the phone, just don't be on your phone, or on chat.
Sense is completely messing with my SMS messages. Mine come in under the wrong number.
If I text a lot and delete some messages, the next person to text me comes in as the last person I deleted.
In the stock SMS app I can see it come in under the wrong person then quickly change to the right.
If I use Chomp or Go SMS Pro, it stays under the wrong person unless I kill the app and restart it. My texts are constantly going to the wrong people, and to my friends Facebook posts.
I've had this problem with every build thus far. I've wiped, RUU'd...still does it.
My friend is running Meanrom, it does it on his. Doesn't seem to do it on ROMs without Sense.
Someone else has to have noticed this.
I've never had any of this happen, nor have I ever heard of the texts messages being labeled as coming from the wrong contact. If it happens with other messaging apps, why do you think it's sense?

In my original post I said it happens with the stock app.
Its more of a problem with third party apps because they don't work the same way the stock app does. So when the message is displayed wrong for that brief second it grabs that. If I kill and restart third party app, the message changes back to the right person.
The reason I think its sense is because sense handles the messaging on these phones, and the problem cannot be replicated on a senseless rom. I can duplicate this problem on a rooted phone with meanrom. What are the odds chomp sms and go sms pro would have the exact same bug? Both of them rely on the core sms framework for data, so whatever is messing with them is happening in core. I've got a post about this over at sprint and it seems to be picking up a little steam. A fee more people.are crawling out of the woodwork with this problem.
if handcent is that third party app u using it will always do it .something is wrong with that app .use go sms
Im having a problem I can send text and they receive it but I do not receive any replys. I do not receive any text messages at all. I am using the stock app. I tryed using handsent and still nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks
Is it just to one person or all?
And I'm sure you've tried a restart / shutdown battery pull right?
Have you deleted anything from titanium?
Can you make/recieve phone calls ?
Might be a Verizon reset. I've seen messages get caught up in the que and they do whatever they do and I get flooded. ← my money is on this.
Im not receive any text but they do receiving mine. I did no a restart and a battery pull still nothing. I do not have titanium installed. I can make and receive calls. Is there a way to reinstall the message app? Thanks
No. Just call good ole 611 and tell em your texts aren't coming through.
Maybe try pulling the Sim card out for a couple minutes then putting it back in...idk if it'll help but its worth a shot. (Turn off phone before hand)
It seems that im getting text from everyone except from iphone users. My wife has the iphone 4 and I do not receive her messages but she does get mine.

Did u have an iPhone prior to this? And did you have imessage turned on? If so you need to disable / delete or whatever you want to call it your "@me.com"account. When I got my s3 it did this to me and the only thing I could think of was imessage...

I'm having trouble with my phone's messaging. I can send texts fine, but I can't send any group messages or MMS messages. I've tried unrooting, updating to the newest OTA update, using a third party texting app, and replacing the SIM card. Nothing works. I can't send or receive group messages or attachments. I tried Go SMS Pro, and when I tried to send group messages, it failed, then sent the message individually to each person. When I tried sending a picture, it said the service was not activated on the network.
This got me thinking it might be something with our texting plan, but everyone else in my family can send and receive group messages and attachments without problems. So it's a problem with my phone only. Does anyone have suggestions?

might try going into your setting and unchecking fastboot .. read somewhere that worked for others ... good luck
Nope, that didn't work, either before or after a reboot. Any other suggestions?
Had a similar issue. I don't know if its because I'm still locked and unrooted but I recieved an error code when I would try to send messages. I actually had to get o the phone with Big Red and they had reconnect me to another network connection of some sorts. Weird.

Sorry, what do you mean you had to "get o the phone with Big Red"? You had to carry it back to Verizon?

He missed a 'n', he got on the phone with big red. Aka he called Verizon.

This has been solved. I switched my number in January, and the service had been disabled then. I was able to get into a live chat with a vzw customer support guy, and he was helpful enough not only to fix MMS, but also group messaging on my phone. It took a couple of hours after trying in vain to put a password in over the phone, but contacting Verizon is the only way to fix this. If you have rooted your phone (as I had previously), and you still have that ugly "tampered" or "relocked" message at the top of the bootloader, Verizon's live chat system is probably your best bet. Even if you haven't rooted your phone, live chat may be faster. You can skip the "reboot, reset, ask other employees for help" routine you'll probably go through if you go to a physical location.
I think I have the same problem too..
When I'm sending a group message .. one of or two of the messages wont send
