I went from a LG P500 to a Xperia S and even tho the battery on this thing is useless i love the phone.
I only got the phone recently and i have ICS 4.0.4 / 6.1.A.2.45 and i had everything working perfectly.
However whatsapp out of the blue stopped sending messages i just get the little clock next to the message and i dont get the two arrows.
So then someone sent me a message and all the messages i had with the clock next to them finaly sent out.
I have reset the phone but whatsapp is refusing to send messages also refuse to get them now also, the weird thing is viber works fine as do the rest of my apps and net works fine.
Any idea of the cause please ?
WhatsApp had/has issues today with the service. They didn't inform anybody about it, but people all around the world are effected. That doesn't mean every user.

Hello and thank you for taking he time to read this.I own a Motorola Photon with Android 2.3.4 as my operating sytem. Since the latest update, I have been having issues with my text messaging. Its strange as how it happens but what the totality of my issue is that when I reply to individuals I send text messages too ,other individuals would receive my text message that I did not reply to. For example:
Contact A sends me a text message "Hello how are you doing?" and Contact B send me a text message " Bring milk on your way home". Now, when I respond back to Contact A by saying "Im fine thank you and how have you been?, Contact B will receive the text message that was meant for Contact A.This seems to occur almost on a daily basis. Is there more folks out there that is having this same issue? And if so, please let me know what I would need to do to resolve this matter. I did update profile and I did have sprint talk a look at it but they are claiming its MOTOTROLAs/Android issues and that I will have to wait for them to push a fix.
Also, I am not using any 3rd party text app or have a rooted phone. Im using the standard MOTOBLUR launcher! I was using the standard motorola messaging app and had the problem as I described to which I started using the GO Messaging app which had the same issues and errors.I am back using the motorola messaging app.
Please let me know if there is a fix for this problem or if there are different alernatives that I can do to avoid this problem.I have been in contact with Nick, [email protected], who has stated that that a fix was sent out regarding this but I am .....I am still constantly having the text messaging issues and its causing a major problem where I'm always second guessing as to whom I'm replying to in my messages. Please let me know if there is going to be a major fix or a software update for this problem?
Please provide some type of feedback!
Thank you again for your time!
I do not have this problem on my Photon, but I did on my Evo for a minute. Twice in a month I happen to approach my mother with sexual comments!!!!
More or less, I cleaned up and deleted all my text messages. Here is what 'I' think the problem was. Lets say I know a girl name Lori and we text all the time. I did not have 30 text from her over a month, I had 1 text with 500 replies in it!!! Take the above and times it by 80+ people............
Saved them and deleted them all. Have not had the problem since! (Come to think of it, it was November 2010. I was joking with a friend over thanksgiving day sexual "Treat", my mother called me with "Excuse me?" and repeted what I had typed to the friend. I looked at text message and it was addressed to friend, but somehow..........anyway, that is how I fixed it!

I wanted to come back here and address this, although my last post is true and may seem funny, looking at the BIG picture, it was not and a very serious issue. What did or did not my boss receive? The girl that I REALLY liked, what did she receive? If my daughter asked me for money and I replied "Sure, I'll send you $50.00?", who did it go to?
After my mother's call, my mind was a wreck for 3 or 4 days thinking of what I sent and who received what.
If they are THAT important to you, get Titanium Backup and save them. Then blow them away weekly or so. I keep one screen of text messages, no need to scroll.
+1 To the suggestion above. I also had this problem occasionally on my old HTC Hero and I'm pretty sure when I would delete a bunch of threads and clean out all the text messages stored in the phone, this issue went away. Still an annoying problem though and it would be nice if it never happened.
As for backing up SMS/MMS messages, I recommend a simple Free app from the Market called "SMS Backup & Restore". It makes saving/backing up texts very easy -- just 2 or 3 touches of your screen, and it puts them all in a single .xml file that can easily be pulled off your phone or card via USB, emailed to yourself, etc.
Titanium Backup Pro. PERIOD!!! $6.58 and worth ever cent!!!
EDIT: I backup every 3:00AM Monday, then every few weeks move the backup to Desktop AND my 16Gb USB on my keychain!
Sort of bringing back an old thread, but my texts are not coming through any more. I can send them, but I dont get any. I do get mms. My wife, who is sitting right next to me, gets them and sends them, so I don't think it is Sprint. Might be a Sprint/Android thing though because she has a blackberry. Its been two days without a text and I normally do 20-50 texts a day.
I am stock rooted and using the stock messaging app. Nothing has changed from 2 days ago with the problem started. I've tried rebooting, roaming, and home only.
Any ideas?

Read back in this thread and you will find your answer. As I use my phone more and more, I still find the need to clean up worthless text to clear s**t up! Pandora lags, ZumoCast stutters, Facebook crashes. I blow away 60 to 80 text, problem solved!

Yeah, I deleted all my texts messages that I had stored. Still have not received a text, but I do get mms still. Tried updating PRL and Profile. Tried rebooting several times.... Still nothing.
Try sending yourself a text message. Sometimes I get a bunch that haven't come through by doing that. Also, install Google Voice as it will get messages too sometimes even if they don't make it to your sms app

@my2cents, did that work for you too?

Hello, I recently got a problem with my Xperia s. When I try to open Messages or phone app, the app wont load the contacts or messages, only shows blank screen/keyboard. I haven´t had this problem before, but now it suddenly appeared. I have tried to reflash the firmware (ICS) but still sometimes the problem exists. I sent even a mail to Sony support who said that i have to go to service. I am pretty sure that as it is software problem it could be fixed without service. I have unlocked bootloader.
Thanks if someone could help.
May HELP

Well Try Using Other Market Apps,Dnt Use The Stock!!!:good:
Still does not work , the contacts are loading slowly and messages notification appears after 5min but message arriving time is almost the same as it was when i sent ti. Eg. Send "Test" 01.01 arrives 01.06, but shows arriving time 01.01
Solved the prob I guess. Disabled mdssages , contacts and contact storage apps. Now messages arrive in time at least. Also some third party apps still show contacts. Think these apps were corrupt. Have to find new ones...
Edit: Contacts app isn't working, others work as they should..
Hey guys i downloaded and installed the lates XXELL4 BTU stock ever since i installed this i can't verify my whatsapp it fails. Then it says call me to verify i click it it says failed.

Does anyone else have a similar problem Please help me i have not been able to get on whatsapp since yesterday..
This happened the first time I transferred my sim to my new phone. For a few days, Whatsapp just wouldn't verify. Then it got automatically sorted out. I have no idea how. Maybe you could just wait it out.

My net must of gone retarded. and double posted sorry..
You might want to check out Whatsapp's FAQ pages. I'm sure they'll have something related to this error. Many other people have experienced this. Maybe it's just one of their server errors.

Yeah it didn't help i was on the whatsapp website for hours. Looking at FAQ's. Related Problems etc. I checked my connection's i can make calls and receive calls. Also can send and receive text messages. I checked to see if my roaming was off. I manually selected Vodafone UK. Requested Vodafone settings from Vodafone. I tried to use my mobile internet then my wifi.
I guess i will have to wait it out. It just sucks that all my mates are complaining that i have not been on all day etc.. And my gf and i are having to resort to using ****y kik messenger lol.. I hate texting i just don't know why.. But do like using messengers just feels better and you can backup your convo's easily..
Yeah.. I can understand. It sucks when WhatsApp gives trouble.
You can contact them and ask for a direct solution if it still doesn't work.

Been lurking this forum for years... but...
I bought a G-Watch on Friday night, and have been using it ever since... my problem is that when I send a text message via the watch, there is no record of it in the messaging app - whether stock or 3rd party.
However, in the stock app, an empty text message will pop up, only to say "no content." Whats even more strange, is that the message is STILL SENT!! Even though there is no record of it on the phone. Receiving messages works fine, its just sending that is the problem. I've looked at every setting I can think of... no luck.
Help!

That's definitely a bug. Seems to be more an issue on the phone than on the watch. No idea how you would fix this though. Don't wanna say reset, but it's the only thing I can think of. Try to reset just the watch first, then you won't have to setup everything on your phone again.

That's kinda what I figured. I factory reset both of them last night with no luck. I guess I just have to wait for an update - kinda sucks wondering if the fix will be included in the next update, or if LG even knows its an issue. I've looked for hours and haven't seen anything related.
Thanks.
Have you considered moving out to hangouts to use alongside the watch? Ever since I got mines I just made hangouts the primary app and I haven't had any issues.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

I did, with the same result.
However, I just stopped by Verizon a couple minutes ago, and he asked me if I had tried Verizon's app called "Verizon messaging" and I of course said no. He put it on the phone and it actually worked. But with that app, the watch doesn't vibrate during the notification of an incoming text.
So I guess I have to pick which is more important... a record of sent texts, or a legit notification that I received a text message. I'm leaning towards option 2.
That's interesting. I'm not sure why it's not working on either app. And I'd definitely go for option 2 as well. another dumb question have you reset your phone and the watch?

Yep. I've reset both, with the same result. I don't have much confidence that this will ever be fixed - but we'll see.
I used to use a HTC One Max. About one month ago, I started getting no sound when a text was sent to me, at least 90% of the time. I tried multiple things to fix it.
1. Tried 4 different SMS apps, with only one being installed at any one time. This is including the built in system one.
2. Checked all sound and notification settings, both in the SMS apps, and in the Android settings.
3. Did a complete factory wipe of the phone.
On Sunday, I got a brand new LG V10. The problem continues. . WTH!!?? My V10 was setup manually, no restore from a backup, and has not been hacked, rooted, etc. Is it possible the problem is with Verizon? I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum, so I thought I would ask here! Any and all help would be appreciated!! :good:
PS: When this happens, the phone will also not vibrate
Wow! I must be the only person in the world that has this problem!
My phone updated to Marshmallow last week, and this problem continues. Does anybody have any ideas? I find it difficult to believe nobody else has had this same problem here . I did a Google search and I find others with the same problem, but most of them were caused by a setting on their phones. Verizon, at least one of their reps in the store where I bought my phone, also did not have an answer. Anybody??
I think people are not sure what your issue is.
Essentially you are not getting notification sounds when a new text arrives?

Have you checked the volume settings???
Thanks everybody! The problem is when I get a text message, most of time my phone makes no noise and will not vibrate. I have checked every setting possible. On my HTC, I was using Mood SMS and it worked great up until the last month I had it. On that phone, even after removing all SMS apps I installed from the Playstore and using the stock app. the problem continued. I will say that when I first went back to the stock messaging app, the problem initially went away, but returned the next day. On my V10, I have only had Mood and the stock app on it. I had Zedge installed, but removed it after downloading a few things from it. I read where other people had problems with apps like Zedge, but I have used it for a few years with no issues. Today I went back to the default SMS app on my V10, and so far it is working. If it stays working, great, but I will miss Mood. I really liked that app! I could factory reset my V10, but really do not feel like it!! Maybe other SMS apps do not do so well since you cannot remove or disable the stock one without rooting. I normally do not root my phones, but I guess since I pushed Marshmallow on it, I could not do it anyway.
