Text messages being cutoff - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Not sure if this belongs here, but here it goes.
About a few weeks ago, I started getting text messages from my boyfriend, but they were cutting off after around 160ish characters. The second text box was received was empty. I've included an example in the picture attached.
No one else texts me that much other than him, so I am not sure if it is just his number causing me this.
A week after this started happening, the problem got worst on my phone, when the stock messaging app, started crashing randomly. Later on, I would get the same message received, double.
T-mobile released the phone, saying they had received there were problems with a small number of S5.
I got the replacement phone yesterday. I was texting my boyfriend last night, when the message got cutoff again.

SMS Problem

My hero seems to have a problem with the time from the received texts.
For example It's 5:00pm and when I send my message, it is marked 5pm but when the person responds right away, it is ALWYAS 5 hours earlier so it is marked as 12pm instead.
Ive read some reviews and alot of people have the same problem.
How can it be fixed?
People mentioned factory reset, but did it actually work?

Gmail slow receiving push emails

Hi
I'm having a few problems with my emails and wonder if anyone could help me out. I have a galaxy s2 and using the gmail app. Basically my push emails are coming to my phone like 20-30 mins late. This only happens when my phone has been sitting there doing nothing for a while. If I have the screen on whilst one is sent they come instant or if the phone is asleep and I wake it up one will come through that has been queuing for a while. It makes me think its something to do with the data side of things where my phones 3g signal is going to sleep when the screen is off.
I had my friends windows 7 phone for a few days last week and had my gmail set up on that. Emails came through almost instantly or at most 30 seconds after they arrived on my desktop no matter how long it had just been sat there. Does anyone experience anything similar on their android handsets or is it just a samsung galaxy s2 thing?
Cheers
I'm having the same issue with my 2nd EVO 4G, the first seems to get it immediately, both are on wifi, and same rom CM7 latest nightly

[Q] SMS Messaging problem

I found this very strange but I'm not sure to categorize this as a Network Problem or an Evo 3D problem. Whenever I get many messages as in someone tries to spam me, my messages take FOREVER to get to the phone as if they send 100 messages the last one arrives an hour after they sent it. I've Spammed people with my phone to theirs and their messages arrive immediately and easily 500 messages arrive in no less than 5 minutes. My network is Sprint and I've tested this with other phones, an iPhone 4 AT&T (Received all messages quickly), An iPhone 4S Sprint (Also quickly), Evo 4G (Took a long time as well but only took 10 mins for 500 messages) and a Cheap Flip phone. My phone on the other hand starts receiving them and receives maybe 10 - 20 messages then blacks out for like 10 minutes, gets another 10- 20 more and repeats. Is there a way I can modify it so it searches and receives all of them immediately or As quickly as possible?
haha, instead of that be happy that no one can spam you

Returns

Has anyone had to return their Moto 360 yet? Mine stopped responding to touch on the bottom 1/3 of the screen near the beginning of this week. I had a pattern lock set up and couldn't get past it as the bottom was unresponsive. After a few attempts the factory reset screen came up but the accept button was on the bottom. After a few minutes of tapping it finally recognize one and performed a factory reset. Upon reboot the bottom was still unresponsive.
I called Moto support and they are sending me a new one. They offered to have me send in my current one first and then send me a new one, or put a $99 hold on my credit card and pay $24.99 for shipping. I went for the latter and a new one will be shopping soon.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had screen issues and how wide spread it is. Also has anyone had any issues with returns?
Anyone?
None here... Yet!
I was in a meeting 2 weeks ago and checked the time and my whole screen was unresponsive, just a black screen even with always on mode enabled. I tried for like 20 minutes to get it to respond to touch and nothing. I got home and thought the battery might be dead even though I only had it on for 10 hours so I put it in it's charging craddle and still nothing. I went to get my phone to check bluetooth and it said watch was connected, checked android wear and it said connected too. Went back to get the watch and it was now on and showing 50% battery. This was 2 weeks ago and haven't had the problem re-occur. I paid for the extended warranty plan so not to concerned right now, and as I already scratched the screen I will most likely replace it anyways.

My 360 did get a little sluggish at times and froze a couple of times prior to the final issues I had with the bottom. I also had a message on occasion saying android wear had stopped and would eventually restart. When I had a freeze holding down the power button will eventually do a restart. All of those issues I attributed to buggy software that I hope gets solved in future updates. My final issue involving the bottom portion being unresponsive persisted after a factory reset.

I never had an issue with it before this happened. And holding the button down didn't do anything for for me, it still remained off even after holding it for over a minute. It just came back on all on its own for whatever reason and luckily hasn't happened again.
Well this isn't looking good. Spent two hours on the phone with Motorola support and was transferred about seven times before someone could figure out what happened to my RMA. I did finally get someone to help me but she had to start the whole process over. My credit card was refunded for the hold and shipping fee and the new one is now supposed to be "rushed".
Just an update
At this point I have spoken to over a dozen reps(I lost count), was transferred back and forth between several departments, was hung up on several times(I even switched phones to make sure it wasn't on my end), and spent countless hours trying to get this resolved. I've never had such horrible customer service. Finally yesterday I received an email with a working promo code for a new watch using the moto-maker site and am crossing my fingers I'll have a new one soon.
Sorry for the rant, I actually started this thread to see how many had any hardware problems, not to complain about Moto support. I was actually hopeful about the whole thing as there wasn't much response to my original inquiry here, but this last week has really turned me off of Motorola.
Update: New 360 arrived today.
My Moto's touch stopped working yesterday. It started with "phantom touches", where the display lighted up as if I touched it. When I actually touched the display, it was partially unresponsive. When I tried swiping, the menus stuck in between and were shaking horizontally. I could hard-reset the watch by pressing the button for 30 seconds. After that, the watch was working fine for a few minutes, then the trouble started all over again. Today, it got even worse as the display did not react on any touches any more...
I was able to reset it to factory settings, but it didn't help, so it does not seem to be a software issue.
Luckily I had ordered it at Amazon a few weeks ago, so I am getting a new watch as replacement. I hope I just had bad luck with that watch, and it's not a general issue.

That's what I am hoping as you and I are the only ones responding with problems so far. As you can see from my other posts I don't think Motorola even knew how to handle a return for one of these. Amazon should be a much more pleasant experience in that regard.
Did you get any type of additional warranty from Amazon?

No... I made the experience that Amazon Germany often just sends out a replacement when an article is defective a few days after delivery. They never fail to impress me with their customer service...
Going through this a second time really sucks. Last week my watch was on the charger all night and by morning the screen had a cyan dot that was dark in the middle and faded to black near the edge of the face. I tried holding down the side button to reset it but it still booted up to the cyan dot.
I started the process last Friday and got a promo code for a new watch. Used the promo code on the Moto Maker website and got the process going. At the end I hit the place order button and I get an error message telling me to call support. Ugh. I didn't have time to deal with it then, but my shopping cart was still showing the watch in it and that there was an order placed. I called today and at first the woman helping me couldn't find anything using the RMA # or the order number I had. When she finally figured out what happened she said the order didn't go through and my promo code was still good. She then tried to blame the error on my web browser.
I have seen news floating around there is currently a lawsuit against Lenovo\Motorola for failure to fulfill their warranties. Is it okay to post information and links on xda concerning the lawsuit for anyone who might be interested?

Random contact/number appears on my phone

So this morning I'm scrolling through my contacts and I notice a random contact name and number that I don't recognize or remember adding. After Googling the number and looking around, it turns out it's a random person I've never seen or met before that lives hundreds of miles away.
Though after thinking about it over and over, the number does seem familiar, and I suspect it may have been an old phone number of mine from years ago.
Any idea how or why this number would randomly appear in my contacts? As it's puzzling and slightly frightening/unsettling.
