Galaxy S3 Text msg issue - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I got a new galaxy s 3 and when ever i send a text msg in Korean my friends and family, doesn't receive the msg in Korean, but in symbols. Also when Iphone users send me a txt msg it is sent out as "i message" which is weird. (but previous hone was Iphone 4) Or people receive my text message really late (Few days).
I already got a replacement phone, and i still have a same issue. Can someone help?
Thank YOU~~!!!

Idk what's up with the message and about the iPhone, are you using same SIM card I had the same problem at first or do you have the iPhone? Or an ipad link to it?

Anybody receiving incoming SMS messages in huge quantities?

Hello,
I upgraded my T-Mobile USA to latest ROM and radio and somehow according to T-Mobile website I recieved like 500 incoming SMS messages which never appears on my phone but still billed on my account.
All of them are coming from some weird 4 digit number 3213 or 3208 according to T-Mobile website. I'm completely puzzled what is happening.
Anybody has any ideas?

P.S. I already called T-Mobile and they told me that they are going to investigate within 2 weeks and did not give much explanation of what is happening.
- I've just checked my account...sorry, I'm not receiving any SMS messages on huge quantities that are not appearing on my phone.

[Q] phone takes time to send a text and receive delayed text s2

It's been almost a month that i've used my new samsung s2. Since that day, my text messages would take time to send and i would receive 1-4 hours late. I bought it on ebay and it's the korean version. i used to have the samsung ace2 x and it work perfectly with my old phone. i just called my phone company costumer service but they told me that everything was okay on my file and they couldn't do anything because my s2 didn't belong to the company.. please help!

Instead of starting a new thread I'll try here. I'm having problems of not receiving just sms messages from time to time. At least two friends now have text me and said they didn't get replies from me when they text me. That being cause I never got them. Anyone else have this? Any ideas? I'm not rooted or unlocked or anything yet.

Did you have an iphone before this, or have you put your sim card in an iphone? I know that there is a problem where imessage can kick in and cause problems. Also ask your friends if they have iphones and if they do, then have them go into message settings and make sure they have the toggle "use sms when imessage not available" clicked.
I have a spare iphone 4s and I put the sim from my old galaxy s3 in it and it caused a world of hurt on my texts. I had to go in and turn off imessage on the iphone even though I had removed the sim and never put it back. Hope this helps.
One of them has a iphone the other doesn't. AT&T had me turn off my imessage when I got this phone. It just started out if the blue. Pretty much just the last two days. Didn't know if it was because I don't ever delete any old messages or well anything. Lol. Very frustrating though. Lol.

I am having the same issue receiving txts from iPhone users and this happened on the m7 as well but got the m8 and then i was fine for a bit until it started again. At times it works and other times it doesn't.

For those having trouble, let me post my experience so that it may help someone. I'm a corporate client, my law firm has about twelve phones under the account. Since this is a family firm, we steal each others upgrades all the time, usually someone is breaking their phone and not due an upgrade, so they take someone else's. So when I upgraded, even though I was eligible, my uncle had nabbed my upgrade back in october. So I, in turn, grabbed my cousin's upgrade. The problem here is that I am the only android user. Somehow att screwed up our account when I upgraded and suddenly I couldn't get texts from the people in my office on iphones. Eventually our I.T. guy called att and straightened it out. I say all that to say that if you haven't modded your apn, sms app, or anything else and are having issues, it is most likely on att.
Have you gone into settings within messages and then mms settings and checked auto-retrieve and set max message size to 1000k?

I'm having same issue as OP. Will receive small blank box messages. Clicking on it opens a blank slideshow instead of a picture. Saving the attachment just saves a blank image. From the same sender, sometimes pictures go through, other times they arrive blank. This is from an android user. I didn't have this issue on my previous phone.
MMS set to auto retrieve and 1000K limit.
Having the same issue as well, ever since the M7. It mainly happens from a couple people who both use iPhones.
Hate jumping on the bandwagon, but I'm having this issue too, and mostly from iPhone users, but not all iPhone users. It's really strange. Sometimes saving the image works, other times it doesn't.
I had it too... I called HTC... They walked me through the expected steps and after a few tries, airplane mode, turned off Wi-Fi, removed and reinstalled Sim card... Restarted phone... Finally worked now... I can get the pics from my husband's iPhone now

Looks like this might be part if not all of the problem. Apple to fix iMessage bug that causes ex-iPhone users to lose their texts http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/22/apple-imessage-bugs via Engadget Android

I bet it's mostly an iphone issue. Freaking apple. They're trying to keep people from switching to android ha ha

I am having the same issue as the OP but the person sending is not an iPhone user, rather another person on a HTC m8. Only difference from me is he is on Sprint and I'm Att. I can send to him with no issues, he can't send to me unless he crops the shots. Also, he has never had an iPhone. He also can send to others with no problems. I'm the only person he knows with the M8.
Ive had this happen with people on verizon,cricket(sprint third party)....not sure why it happens,maybe when switching across networks something screws up, when an mms pic comes through like that and there is indeed a picture, you can click on the little box and will be given an option to save the picture and it will save to your downloads folder.It is only random but only happens from people on cdma carrier networks sending to me,which leads me to believe its partly a network issue as well as a phone issue possibly.
Any fix for this yet?

New phone number, replies to texts from Apple users go to wrong recipient

A very odd thing is happening. I added a Phone to my Cricket account for my daughter. Just a cheap LG Fortune. Of course it came with a new sim/phone number. When she communicates with Android users via text everything is fine. When she sends texts to my sister and her friends that have iPhones, they receive the message just fine, but when they reply to my daughter's messages, another unknown user replies to the text. My daughters phone never gets the reply. Unfortunately the person responding is not very friendly and is cussing telling my sister to stop harassing him. I'm assuming maybe this has something to do with iMessage which the previous phone number owner may have had. But I'm not sure.
Any idea what's going on here and how I can fix it? I may need to go back to Cricket and have them change her phone number.
