Just got a new z5c - I'm in the US on AT&T. This didn't seem to be a problem until last night, but now I'm having messages take between 5 minutes and 2 hours to come into my phone. People are still getting my sent messages instantly. Never experienced this problem on my old phone (2013 Moto X using same sim card), so I'm guessing it's not the carrier but the phone itself.
Also, restarting my phone seems to cause all the backed up messages to come in at once. Really annoying problem, wondering if anyone can help.
I switched my sim card back to my old phone and a bunch of messages came flooding in. Asked friends to test texting me with sim card in each phone - texts came instantly on old phone and way delayed on z5c. Already disabled iMessage. I've tried using Textra, the messenger app that comes with the phone, and Google messaging and all have the same outcome.

I'm using the auto-APN detected by Textra:
http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
proxy.mobile.att.net
port 80
Is this different from yours? Also, wouldn't the APN only affect MMS, not SMS?

I had a similar problem, then I noticed the "queue background data" setting in power management was turned on by default. Turning that off fixed it for me.

Did you ever get this figured out? My wife is having a similar problem with her phone (MMS won't send) and I can't figure it out. Her LTE works fine and SMS messages send and receive like normal. But she can't send or receive picture MMS messages.
I remember someone posting they had to modify the settings (don't remember if it's apn or something else) to allow ONLY ipv4 (not both or IPv6)..that resolved the issue.

I tried that too. Someone mentioned it in another thread so I gave it a go. No dice.
I solved my issue by doing a factory reset - apparently there's a problem with importing messages from an older phone.
It doesn't sound like the same problem you're experiencing though.
Hi! I just wanna ask you guys if your z5 compact is displaying LTE on the signal bars on ATT. I have a z5 compact and i only get 4g. My device is registered as lte capable device.
All international versions display 4g instead of lte. So the 4g should indeed be lte speeds.

I'm exhausted from all my attempts at figuring out these problems, so I'm hoping someone on XDA can help me figure out two issues I'm having with my GSII.
I have the South Korea version of the GSII and I'm using it in Hong Kong. I can receive SMS messages, but when I try to send an SMS reply it says failed. I checked the SMS message center number and it's correct for the carrier. Here's the odd thing, when I try to compose a new message or forward a message, I have the option to specify the senders number. If I manually type in my number and the receivers number, I can send the SMS without a problem. So I know it's not a frequency compatibility issue. I can't manually specify the numbers every single time as the SMS messages will take forever to compose. I switched the SIM card over from an older Android phone and that phone had no issues with sending SMS messages. In the about phone section of the settings, my number appears as unknown. I never had a problem with this in my old phone. I did try to edit my number on the SIM through a couple old phones, but it just wont save. If I switch SIM cards from different carriers, I'm always going to have this SMS sending issue. Are there any tricks or ways to fix this?
The other problem I have is with the dialer. Everytime I try to make a call, a roaming call option pops up that says, call Korea or call international number. I have to select call international number to dial out. Is there a way to stop this?
If I could fix these two issues my GSII would be perfect since everything else is awesome except the two basic functions, sms and calling, of a phone. This has driven me nuts for hours everyday trying to figure it out. Thanks!
Are you in South Korea? I remember reading somewhere that the Korean wireless companies have a totally different SMS/MMS protocol than the rest of the world. We've all been getting our phones from the UK because of this even though it launched in Korea first. Maybe someone online that's familiar with the Korean SGS2s differences can provide more detail.
I thought that might be the issue with the SMS/MMS system in South Korea, but if I specify the sender and receiver numbers the messages will go through without a problem and I can also receive without any problems.

I fixed the SMS problem using an iphone 3gs which takes the same size sim card as the GS II and saving my number to the sim card. This isn't really a good solution sinve Im not always going to have a 3gs handy when I travel and would like to use a local sim card. I still haven't figured out how to fix the Roaming Auto Dial window that pops up everytime I try to make a call. I can't figure out how to make the phone understand I'm not roaming.

Couple of weird things I've noticed lately. First off, I never use the standard messaging Android app, I use Handcent. I also installed Voice and got it configured. I have 2 main questions, both of which are text related. First off, ever since installing Voice, Voice also now keeps tracks of my text messages. Is there any way to stop this? I have it configured now so that I dont get notifications from Voice, but if I go into the app to check a VM I see all my texts, and that's annoying.
Also, before when I would used to get an MMS (picture, video, whatever), it would connect to 3G to download it, even if I was connect to Wi-Fi. My phone no longer does that. Now if I get an MMS, even something small like 50kb, it takes like almost a whole minuet to download it because I'm pretty sure it's downloaded over 1x (doesn't show the 3G symbol anymore). Anyone know how to change this? I may have changed a setting somewhere, but I can't remember, and this is driving me nuts.
I used the G-Voice app on the 4G but I decided not to install it on the 3D. Using the stock message app is alot easier and have no issues with MMS. I dont get visual voicemail which kinda sucks but I still like it better then opening an app just to get to my texts.
Unless you disabled 3g manually you can just turn your phone on airplane mode and then back off airplane mode, or restart the phone... That's strange though, I'm pretty sure my messages download on 3g and i get them in like 15 seconds...

Go to your Google account in your desktop or mobile browser and disable text messaging from your voice settings. And the whole 3G MMS thing is a known issue I've always had using handcent, especially on my 3D. I never use stock app but since its so reliable because of compatibility issues with the 3VO being so new, it would be wise to go stock until app developers update their apps to support our phones.

I was able to verify that something is in fact screwy with my networks. I like the fact that if I'm connected to WiFi my 3G is disabled since it helps conserve battery, but I dislike the fact that this also means that MMS messages are forced to use 1x instead of 3G. I disabled WiFi and tried sending a picture over MMS and it sent just fine over 3G, but as soon as I reconnect to a WiFi network it forces any MMS's to use 1x instead of 3G so they take FOREVER to send/receive. Anyone know if there's a way to change this? I remember on my original EVO running CM6 I never had this problem. 3G remained disabled if WiFi was connected, except it would kick on for MMS messages. Sigh.
you have to uninstall google voice then reinstall. this time when it asks if you want to integrate say no then choose to use just for voicemail on the next screen

Thanks for the help guys. I just spend the last hour trying to get this setup the way I wanted and in the end I decided to completely remove Voice and stick to Sprint's voicemail for now, lol. I'll go back to Voice when we have CM for the 3VO
Still trying to figure out my 3G/MMS problem though Can any of you try it on your phones? While connected to a home/office WiFi network try to send an MMS (picture or whatever) and tell me if 3G comes on to send the message, or if it takes forever to send it.
Further testing: the exact same thing happens if I'm connected to 4G! Damn this sucks! So it's like, if I'm connected to a faster network (Wi-Fi or 4G) then 3G refuses to come on no matter what I do. Makes sense if you want to optimize battery life, but shouldn't it come on if it needs to do something that REQUIRES 3G? Such as send an MMS? -_-
Sorry if this is an ignorant comment, but why would the phone need to switch to 3G or 1X if you're connected via 4G? That seems really wonky to me.

if you watch on the notification toggle page, when you turn on 4g/wifi it actually turns off "mobile network" ie 3g. pretty dumb if you ask me.

I think all CDMA networks are like this, but the reason it needs to switch is because SMS/MMS messages can't be sent through WiFi or 4G.

That's interesting because I actually don't have this problem. If I have 4G or WiFi enabled it still has Mobile network and checked and enabled.
So is it safe to assume that you have the same issue with this phone? Where your MMS messages take forever to send/receive if you're on WiFi or 4G? I swear it never did this when I first got it, but now I'm starting to question that too...

about GV.. i was having similar issues.. it kept showing as my default text app, and no matter what i did with the GV settings, it wouldnt change a thing..
so i started comparing the GV in my phone with my wifes hero.. and when lookin at the version i realized that after i reinstalled all my apps on my phone i updated GV.. bad mistake.. i deleted that version and reinstalled my previous version and all has been well since..
if u want to go back to using GV without the issues, let me know and i can send u the version i have that will work the way u want..

Awesome, thanks for this!
Still going to keep trying to fix this MMS issue though since it's driving me CRAZY! I like the fact that 3G turns off when I'm on WiFi or 4G, but it should turn on briefly to send/receive MMS so I'm not stuck waiting forever while they send/receive over 1x. I'm going to delete Handcent just in case it's what's screwing everything up, but somehow I doubt it.
I tried finding an answer but couldn't pinpoint the issue. When wifi is turned on, my SMS/MMS messages are hit or miss as far as sending/receiving.
I have tried different ROMs. I usually do full wipes/installs whenever installing new ROMs. Will usually see the issue regardless.
Anyone know of a fix?...due to the lack of threads I'm scared I am a rare case.
Thanks.

When on wifi you should be able to send and receive SMS like usual. Phone calls work too. Why? Because wifi mode makes your phone act like a phone not a smartphone.
On wifi MMS, email and web because they use your router to access the carrier portal. That is what the APN setting is for.
So the answer is it should be the same on or off.
Thank you.
I do understand it 'should' be working, receiving SMS/MMS while Wifi is on...
Do you use juicedefender ? Noticed with the profile I had set up it wouldn't download mms on wifi because it turned data off

I can replicate this problem on a brand new ICS rom with no personal apps installed. Currently I'm on the new Collective RC1 but the problem isn't the ROM, it seems.
Just to be sure - you do have cell service when you're hooked to the router, correct?
MMS and text messages still go out through the cellular network, even if you're hooked to wifi - no cell service = no messaging (or phone calls either).
If it's working properly you should see the E or 4G symbol come on when you send an MMS message, even if you're hooked to WIFi - example

Fyi, my wifi is on right now (not connected to any wifi) and an mms message has sat in 'sending' status for about 10 minutes now. Internet works fine, go figure.
Check your APN. they second half deals with mms.

I checked the APN settings and they are identical to other APN settings I found.
It seems, to me, the issue is somehow wifi related. As if my Note is forgetting carrier radio while wifi is on.
Anyone else?
Is packet data selected? It's a wireless setting?
No idea how I'd select packet data
On wifi with cellular on you can get everything but MMS.
You need cellular DATA to send and receive those.
Wifi will get all your other data (web,email, etc).
Cellular will get you SMS
Cellular data is needed for MMS

I understand this. My issue is when wifi is switched 'on' I mostly cannot receive MMS and sometimes cannot receive SMS. This is regardless if wifi is connected to a source or not. I do not turn off cellular data.
There aren't any settings, that I have seen, to fix this. Is my Note defective?...or is it because I'm using cooked ROMs? Yes, I follow the directions fully when using a new ROM.
My wifes MyTouch Slide acted like this back in the day. Was a real PITA.

That's the exact problem that I'm having. The Sprint Tech I talked to had no idea why it was happening. By any chance, when you go to Settings -> About -> Phone Identity, is username blank?

yes just like that.
i sent it to the sprint repair store. they said 'yep, the update broke your phone, we cant fix it. but we can replace it. give me $35'
i then asked them, if your forced software upgrade broke my phone, WHY do i have to pay you to get a new unit? HTC offered to repair it, if i spend my money mailing it to them, and waiting two-three weeks.
I am totally done with both sprint and htc. once this is fixed, im selling it, cancelling my contracts and buying a samsung on another carrier. its been an entire week of bull**** from both these aweful companies. no one wants to either exchange it, or offer advance exchange. ****ing. stupid.
I had this problem today. The solution is to do a data reset with Sprint tech support with ** and some numbers (didn't write them down) entered from the dialer keypad. It puts you into the info screen where they give you the password to do the reset. Once you reboot the phone it comes up with "hands free activation" message. It will update PRL and /or profile and you will start getting all of the texts that you haven't gotten since the problem began. This process reprovisions the phone. In my case, I did the reset while booted on the most current stock rooted ROM, not sure if you can enter the codes on the dialer when running MeanROM. So....nandroid, factory reset wipe, flash stock rooted, reset data with sprint tech support, provision/activate, boot twrp recovery, restore nandroid or flash your choice of custom ROM. The ROM flash or restore won't overwrite PRL or Profile that you just fixed.

I noticed today, that I had been seeing the no service icon showing when I am still able to connect to the web, infact I was able to stream Disney plus while I had the X on signal strength.
But, also, I have notice I have not recieved calls, also today I had a call go directly to voice mail. I only knew I had a call when the voice mail notification was sent to me without issue. My call log shows no logs of any calls to me this morning. I also talked to someone else and they complained to me that I had not answered the phone this morning. I had to wxplain to them I had no knowledge of any calls to me except for a voice mail message i received.
I do have T-mobile, not sure if its a T-mobile issue or S23U issue.
I think this is a T-Mobile issue.
[TL;DR] - Had same issues, swapped to eSIM and have not had an issue since
Where I live, we have 5G/5G UC just about everywhere and I have noticed, once in a while (more so on my Z Fold 3 than my S23U) that when I leave WiFi Range, add streaming music (not downloaded), things go well, then all of the sudden, I will get VM notifications and a slew of text message just show up.
After paying closer attention, I noticed that I still get DATA when I have this symbol and no SMS/Voice.
Airplane mode on/off and it all comes back.
I have tried the Network Reset several times, but I quit doing that because I got tired of having to set up WiFi and all my BT devices again and again.
THEN, I decided to change to eSIM and I have stopped having these issues.

That almost sounds exactly what I am seeing also. I will probably google it as soon as I post this, but how do you change to eSim?

Before you had a chance to post this, I already screwed it up, lol. I tried to use the esim setup and when it went to Tmobile it faulted and left me with no sim.
I connected to Tmobile chat and she helped me set up the eSim.
Thanks,
