Hello,
I have an android.. HTC DNA (Verizon).. rooted, running custom ROM (ViperDNA)
My friend has the iPhone 5 (Verizon)
I get most SMS texts that they send to me, but not all of them. Occasionally, I'll be missing 2 or 3 messages that they sent during a conversation. I never have this problem with anyone else. I suspect it's an iPhone/Android communication problem of some kind? But, then again, I have other iPhone-using friends, and don't have this problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to the culprit?
Thanks.

Did you have an iPhone prior to activating the Android? Is it possible your friend's iPhones are sending over iMessage rather than standard sms? If so try this.

No, I've never had an iphone. I did read online about the iMessage thing. I had her turn it off, but it seems to continue.

You verify your APN settings?
Not recently, but I have in the past. Plus, like I said, it's only this one person I'm having an issue with.

I keep getting phone calls from my own number. When I answer the phone nothing. I also occasionally get anonymous texts with no text or any other content. I am running trigger 2.6. Just curious if anyone has had similar problems or could offer any insight. Thank you
WTF?
Just ODIN back and start over... that sounds way crazy and not related to the rom. You may just have a bad app though.
Lol, ghost of the vibrant rom!!! Whooooo
You just got punked by someone using Bluff My Call .
hmm.. there's apps that fakes numbers..

Talk to your doctor and tell him the medication isn't working anymore and you need a stronger prescription.
The real question is:
if you called yourself, would you answer?!?!?!?
No, the REAL question is where can I get ME some of that!?!?!

Hi all.
First off a great site here. I am new to android (well not strictly true I did have the Desire when it very first came out and I hated it sold it after a week) Any way I am now converted to Android from Iphone. So I am a complete and utter noob
I have got the the S2 and what a phone, never miss a phone call or antenna problems on this puppy.
So my problem is when I get a text msg it only reads out the number of the person and does not read the actual txt. When I get phone calls it tells me who is ringing. This is a problem for me as I want this for when I am driving. Please help.
I have not rooted my phone yet as I said I am a complete noob. Does not look as easy as jailbreak.
Thank you very much. Look forward to your response and no doubt I'll get told off for reposting but I have looked now for 3 days
This phone can do this? I would like to know how to set this up.. I would love for the phone to tell me who is calling...please tell me how to do this...I am new to the Droid as well...came from BB...

Double press/tap HOME key to bring ON Voice Talk.
Turn ON Driving Mode.
Hit the MENU button --> Settings -->Scroll down --> Voice Talk Settings --> "TICK" Show body of message.
I suppose that should solve your problem
(It sometimes takes a while to read out the message depending on your connection..so plz be a lil patient Cheers)
Not really the same thing. There should be a way in android to have it announce who is calling or just texted you without leaving in driving mode constantly. Symbian used to have this,but I don't believe Android does.

I just use Tasker for this, though some would balk at spending on an app worth 5 dollars for a phone worth a hundred times that =)

Hey all -
Ok, so, i remembered that I installed CHOMP on my android device the night that all of this started happening for me.
I have since uninstalled CHOMP and now use STOCK and HANDCENT. Using my own iPhone 4 on AT&T, I am NO LONGER able to reproduce this crashing behavior using HANDCENT or STOCK - regardless of how large in size the MMS is. I have read on other forums that CHOMP was used as well.
There is just one instance of a person crashing a bunch of phones in a store as a test - and I wanted to see if it was CHOMP that he used.
To add to this solution, can anyone confirm that they used CHOMP (or CHOMP was used) when you noticed this issue?
Thanks a ton in advance, and hopefully this can be laid to rest.
Matt!
Hey all,
**Update** I just confirmed this. I fixed the signal drop loop from my original post be restoring my iPhone to an earlier backup. Problem 100% solved. AS SOON as I sent an MMS from my VZW HTC Rezound, (and I even limited it to less than 600kb), by iphone went into the signal drop loop. 30 seconds with service, 30 seconds without service, and this repeats endlessly.
I don't understand how there can't be more talk about this. I called AT&T twice and talked to Tier 2 tech support - they were clueless, so i at least filled them in.
Here's my original post.
This is crazy! I have an ATT iPhone suffering from it as well as a friend. Both phones have had MMS sent from my VZW Rezound. It seems that CDMA Verizon MMS to GSM AT&T iPhone will instantly crash the iPhone....

This happened to me yesterday and didn't think of it much just restarted my phone. Today though it happened again and right now i realized i was chatting with a buddy of mine on AT&T. I was wondering why no one texted back till i saw that every text was on wait.
My friend doesn't have iPhone but just a regular old school razr flip phone and he doesn't get ANY pictures I send him, only a blank text.

I noticed when I send a pic or MMS to an iPhone I have to use the stock messaging service to get it to go through. It will say it has been sent through ChompSMS but it is never received by any iPhone so far.
Are you using the stock messaging app or a third party?

I noticed that too.
There must be 30 people I work with who have iphones & when I was using Handcent (which I must have used in 6 phones previous to the rezound) it caused all kinds of MMS issues with iphone users. This is a serious problem for me as we use MMS all the time where I work.
Now, with the Rezound & a red theme I really like the stock messaging app so I never installed Handcent and now my MMS go through just fine to everybody.

Ya but he used to get pictures when I sent it from my Xperia play.
Actually,
This all happened when I installed Chomp (go figure). I'll test it with handcent using my own iphone. I'll try Stock MMS a few times first.

I can confirm this behavior. Plus Chomp crashes intermittently when sending MMS (from VZW) and I can repeat this behavior. I don't think I had this problem in earlier versions of Chomp.

Anyone else experience issues with this? Its been a month or so since I made the switch from iPhone 5s to M8. A lot of my friends and family on iOS still complaining that their messages arent going through to me. Even after erasing my number and re-adding it. Also, even after I erased my number from all Apple devices.

i believe Crapple does this on purpose to punish us for moving to android. I dont see why this isnt something that would automatically shutoff when the sim is inserted into an android phone or can be changed by logging into your icloud or something. Leave it up to Crapple to lock us down and make us go by their rules.
Either you still have an idevice or Mac with Imessage running or your friends are not telling the truth. All you have to do is delete the conversation on an idevice and next text works fine. Sure you don't have an iPad in the closet with Wi-Fi or something? Someone could have your login too.

Haha nah been happening with my cousin and dad as well. Its just Apple's Servers have to deregister your number from their server. iMessage ppl erased the convos in front of me and tried to text me and it still goes to iMessage. Highly unlikely that anyone has my password, and even more highly unlikely that I'm logged in somewhere else on another device. I double, triple checked and made sure.

when they send an message on iMessage does it fail for them or go through?
I had same problem. Called Apple and they said I already had my number deactivated. So I had ask my friend do this «send message. Double tap message. Click send as sms» after about 10 messages their phones started to realize my number was no longer working with an iPhone.

I'm not sure if this problem is isolated to me or if it affects everyone, so I thought I'd ask.
tl;dr: text messages don't persist on the phone, and in Google Messenger in particular, outgoing texts don't display as part of the conversation.
I use Google Messenger by default, and I noticed that none of the text messages I sent were appearing in the conversation history. Turns out, they weren't reaching the recipients either.
I switched to Google Hangouts, and all of the texts I received from (and sent to) other people before my upgrade were present, but any texts I received from others were gone.
I tried deleting and reinstalling Google Messenger, thinking maybe it was a version/cache thing, and again, any text I received before the upgrade was present, but none since the upgrade, including any I had received while using Google Hangouts.
Something definitely seems f%@#ed up here. Am I alone?

Same here. Verizon's messaging app works though, and actually seems half decent.
Yep just got off phone with VZ support and that is the workaround (use Verizon Messages Plus) they are doling out as a fix to the problem, says tech will be getting in touch with Sony for fix and may be another small update for it.
Lots of reddit users are having the same issue. If you're up for it, it looks like a factory reset will fix the problem.

I haven't had many phones. I'm assuming this doesn't happen to often, cause this is crazy. What if only 10% of you having update issues needed your phone for work? How can companies stay in business doing this kind of thing?

If it is a company supplied phone I would think that any modifications would be forbidden, any good IT department would be on top of any shananagans as such. I'm IT for the corporate office I work at (don't be impressed, I'm the office Alphageek and won the title by default.) and when corporate supplied the phones they maintained tight rein over the units. Now we are "bring your own device". As such if your phone is critical for your job and you bork it I would expect corporate to tell you to fix the problem ASAP even if it means buying another phone.

My bad, I see your point now. For an official update this one has created a world of grief for many that installed it via the "official" route. Usually a factory reset is a last resort to many and apparently for this update it looks like a required step.
[EDIT] Just checked the official Verizon forums. People are struggling with the same problems that are being posted here. It looks like a couple have figured out a factory reset works and are trying to spread the word, there is very little Verizon help showing up.

A few years ago it did back when we were running a mix of name brand systems (Dell, Gateway and HP). I would say it occupied 30-50% of my time, since then we have standardized on Dells running Windows 7. That is a bulletproof combination in an office environment. I know everyone bad mouths Dells but since we with Dell/Win 7 my workload has dropped 90%.

Do you realize that the text issue is completely unrelated to any "modification". This phone was "borked" by a VZ-pushed OTA. I had to do a factory reset last night, lost my corporate e-mail set up through Touchdown. I also missed communications previously, while I was unaware of the texting issue. Those texts are just "gone" now. This is very poor form on the part of VZ, not even checking that texting will continue to work after users upgrade.

I wasn't implying you goofed up your phone, just following up on AddictedtoGlass's comments, sorry if it came across that I was.
Yeah, this update does seem to be causing more grief than usual. That may be keeping with the comments I stumbled across in Verizon's forums claiming that the code sent to Verizon by Sony wasn't "up to snuff" in Verizon's opinion and that is why Verizon sit on the update so long. Looks like they should have sit on it a little bit longer. I'm on 5.0.2 and my phone is pretty stable so I'm content to stay there until this is all straightened out, if ever.
I have been trying to find more info on Verizon's community forums but they have managed to make their forums so hard to navigate now that finding particular threads is almost impossible. I guess that is one way of controlling the flood of complaints.
