Hi everyone.I'm running ViperOne's 3.1.0 (Android 4.3). I really like this ROM but every now and then for the past week, I've been missing random texts from people. It's not in any particular pattern so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot further. I even had random friends and family text me when I was standing nearby so that I could confirm I didn't receive some texts, but every time I did that, I received them... My sister in law asked me if I got her message in the early afternoon, but I did not (it was evening when I saw her) and who knows what else.
Is this maybe a carrier issue? Radio? What can I do? This isn't my first time rooting but I don't know where to look or what to do to fix this, exactly.
I'm going to revert back to a stock ROM nandroid I have but I wouldn't be surprised if this continued to be an issue. I didn't have this problem before rooting, but I doubt it's the ViperOne ROM itself since I can't find any issues reported in the threads.

hi,
i apologize in advance for the long post
a few days ago i finally decided to root my phone and install a custom rom....and i succeeded in doing that too, but this is where my one and only issue started coming up....
ok, so after rooting, i decided to install villain rom 10.2 (its a great rom by the way)...after installing it, everything was working fine until i opened up the messages area...when i open up a conversation the order of the messages are messed up. And its due to the fact that the time stamps on the messages that i'm receiving are an hour ahead of the time on my phone. And the time on my phone is the correct local time for my area. The time zone that i've set on the phone is GMT+6 (islamabad, karachi)...now as far as i can remember my time zone should be GMT+5 and not 6 due to the fact that we dont use daylight savings time here....and im pretty sure thats what the issue is too. i tried numerous ways to fix this, even tried selecting auto detect time and date from network, but not even that worked.
So, after spending all that time without fixing the issue (im a heavy texter so not having the conversations in order is a problem for me), i decided to try another rom, so i went with villainroms superhero rom...and the same thing occurred with that....
So finally, i've reverted back to my last official rom (1.5)(2.73.405.5)
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, or if they know of a custom rom where this issue doesnt occur please do let me know.
Also,
How can you tell where your phone is from? i have an unbranded htc hero, but how do i know whether its from europe or asia?
and would it be possible for me to flash the official htc 2.1 rom thats on the Taiwan website even if my phone isnt from there?
Hi all this is my first post, nice to meet you all.
Last week I connected phone to Kies and it asked to update to XXELLA (JB) so thought Ok I'll update it. At first was very impressed with some new features etc but my phone has since developed a few rather annoying problems.
1) Battery seems to go much quicker with no extra usage from me. Using the phone the exact same way.
2) Mobile data intermittently stops working after you come off the internet or an app no longer requires a connection. It will be turned on in the setttings but no 3G symbol on top of screen
3) The most annoying issue with this phone now since update is when the above happens (3G turned on but no connection) my phone will not send/receive text messages and will not call out.
I have to power cycle the phone to correct it (restart)
Just to let you know my phone is now rooted but this wasn't done til a few days ago and problem was happening before this.
P.S. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem with texts etc, but a few weeks ago now I tried calling a mate on O2 only to be joined into someone elses conversation. We both could here the other person but they couldn't here us and I couldn't hear my friend either. Ended the call then rang my friend again and was fine. Just a bit scary that you could be in someone elses conversation unknowingly these days, and you wouldn't have a clue.
Any solution to my problems, other than to revert back to ICS instead of JB are welcome.
As this is a Samsung update contact Samsung service centre .
Or try a factory reset or join XDA and flash stockJB firmware are your choices .
Root voids Samsung warranty

My phone has improved slightly instead of locking up reception as I'll call it when data turned on, it now works for a short while then stops working where as before it was as soon as it was activated.
I'll keep an eye on it and if it doesn't improve i'll unroot and contact samsung or get a custom rom put on and see if that improves things somewhat.
thanks
I am on jivy's ICScrewed 2.1 ROM running Siyah's last GB kernel. From time to time, my phone will suddenly become unable to receive text messages. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891427. I do believe it's the same issue, but I was wondering if anyone knows the cause. I have been using this ROM for a while now, and this never happened. Only a couple months ago did this start occuring. Then lately, it's been happening more frequently. Instead of having to wipe and recover maybe once every 3 months, it's been turning into every month, then every 2 weeks, and twice within one week this week. It's just a pain in the ass to have to keep doing this. I'm not sure if it's the ROM itself. If it was, then wouldn't I have been experiencing this when I first started using the ROM? If anyone has a (permanent) fix for this, I'd appreciate it. I hate waking up to no texts. Makes me feel lonely.

I've been having the same problem intermittently. I had it today and 2 days ago. The temporary fix is to take the SIM card out of my phone and put it in my old BB Bold 9700 to get the missed texts then put the SIM back into my SGS2. Then the texting works again. But the problem eventually comes back. It's not a ROM problem. I'm rooted and using a Gingerbread ROM. I don't know what causes this. I've tried wiping the Dalvik cache and deleteing old text messages and this didn't seem to work. The SIM switching seems to be the only trick. I haven't called ATT. (They are usually in denial when there is some kind of issue on their end.)
If you find a solution then please post it!!!
I have had the same problem. Running the same ROM for a long problem then recently (~last 2 months) it started happening. I was running Sashir's Aberration ROM but it was the old (pre Dec. 2012) version.
One time I contacted at&t and they said my sim was an old outdated version so they gave me a new one which fixed the problem... for a couple weeks. I may go several days receiving no texts (send works fine) then all the sudden I get them all in one batch. After that it will receive texts fine until it eventually happens again.
I just flashed the new Aberration and hopefully it stops happening.

Hello,
I have and SGS3 bought in july 2014 and used it until now.
The problem is: I receive the sms delayed, or even I received it after I write one to a person or when I receive messages from cost control.
I don't have many sms on the phone, I wiped all data several times because of this problem(reset to factory defaults) and after a while it keeps happening.
It doesn't happen always, some days yes, some not. As example: today I communicated by sms this morning and all was fine. At 12pm I didn't
3 weeks ago I installed another version of Android because I was sick of this problem, but now I have the same problem.
What can I do? How cand I find out what is causing this problem?
I noticed today and yesterday that when I use Chrome it happens. Can someone explain why?

I don't know. It's strange. Maybe it's the operator's fault.
I don't know what to say anymore
I have tried to fix this issue myself and spent many hours on it but I am at a loss. so I'm hoping someone here has some insight.
I can send text messages just fine and I can receive them "mostly" without any issue. However I noticed over the past few months people saying they texted me and when I look I never got them. When I pull my text logs from Verizon the network shows they were received so the issue is definitely local on my device. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for it, and it's never a huge blackout just random ones missing here and there. It can be mid conversation or someone who hasn't sent me anything for days.
I'm sure it's one app causing the issue but I have so many I don't know how to identify which one it is. I use my phone for work so I'd really like to avoid having to do a factory reset as I can't afford to slowly install apps one by one to see if the issue disappears mainly because the problem is so hard to replicate. Anyone know of a method to identify this? Maybe some sort of Hijackthis? I'm out of ideas. Thanks
