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.

hey guys.
something weird happend on my athena. all of a sudden, the messaging service stopped working. "messaging" wont open. even the sms feature of spbdiary wont load. i cant receive sms. i simply cant send/receive sms. even if i use different applications for sending sms. i dont do rom upgrades. and i havent installed/configured anything today.
anybody knows what i should do first? im hoping there might be a workaround other than a hardreset. i already did softresets a couple of times.

Try flashing Mitchy's rom.
the thing is, after reading all through the horror stories here at the forum, concerning flashing roms, im still hesitant to do it myself.
unless maybe you can guide me through all the way tootalk?
i have x7501 bought from the states. also, in a few words, what are the best things that mitchys rom have?
im surprised nobody else had experienced this problem before.
ciao!
if you installed any of those "lost and found" tools, then that's most likely the problem
since i had exactly your problem, until i removed those programs.
those programs might be good,
but unfortunately, it takes your SMS hostage, and wont release it.
making your SMS useless.
so i opted to have SMS, and well too bad if the phone gets lost, then it's lost.
yay! time to buy a new one the perfect excuse
hey allgamer,
what do you mean by "lost and found" tool? you mean like those security apps that sends messages to the owner just in case the phone got stolen? i have two of those installed, but i installed them a couple of months ago, and i never had any problems concerning them.
i'm now researching on how to flash my rom with mitchy.

Sorry for the delay dude. Shoot me a PM with your yahoo or AIM/AOL id and I can walk you through the steps to flashing with his ROM. To be honest, it's way faster and better than any factory ROM. I'm at the point now where If I don't even want to touch any PDA's with factory ROM's anymore lol.... I suggest you read up on how to CID unlock the phone first before you anything else.
messaging comes back if i remove memorycard
the messaging service works whenever i remove the memorycard, so i'm beginning to think that there might be an app that's messing around with the system.
another problem though, after i put back the memory card, the system created a "memory card" folder on the root file system. and the real memorycard now is called "memorycard2". the inbox folder has been created inside "memory card" folder.
anyway, i'm trying to muster up my courage and am going to accept tootalk's generous offer of helping me up with my very first rom flashing.
UPDATED:
i renamed the folder "memory card" which the system created, to "memory card err" and then rebooted. the messaging service is now back to normal.
but i'll still check out on the flashing.
ciao!
So ever since I first rooted my phone I havent been receiving google+ notifications. When I was running stock, I got them just fine. Now I am running UnNamed and I dont get them. Ive put up with it for weeks now but Its really annoying and ive been searching everywhere for a fix. Anyone else have this problem?

rooting by itself has no bearing on any application data. i really have a desire to get this drilled into people's brains.
ROM and ROOT are 2 completely different things. everyone says, 'ever since i rooted.....' but actually they rooted THEN flashed a ROM....and they want to blame the act of rooting to be the cause of the problem..... i apologize, but its a pet peeve of mine that so many people have no effing clue what rooting actually is.
after you flashed the rom, did you go into your accounts section and verify that G+ is set to sync? by default it is off
Well im glad you got that rant out of your system. I never once thought that rooting it caused my notifications to stop. I was simply stating that they worked before, and now they dont.
Ok, when i first got the phone i didnt have sync on either and i still got the notifications. I just enabled it and had a friend send me a notification and still no luck.
Update: I have no idea why this was happening but i manually synced my google account again and now the notifications are working. this is really odd but im not complaining
if anyone else has this problem, try what i did
Update 2: so another thing it could be. i had the gmail app frozen with TB because i was tired of getting duplicate email notifications and now that i did the re sync, it unfroze the app. could be something there

like i said, its a pet peeve. when someone starts off by saying, it was working before i rooted....it indicates that they think the root somehow caused <insert random problem here>, or are just trying to somehow link the 2 items....this is because so many people have no idea what root actually consists of and what it does. they just think its the cool thing to do....
if you freeze gmail, im pretty sure a lot of stuff would stop working properly that ties directly to your gmail account.
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!
---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------
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

Hey all
Like title says everytime I get a text the notification sound plays for like 1 second then goes off.
Had the phone since release day and it hasn't done that before.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Have you enabled Sound+Vibrate? I found that the SMS notification sound was cut to be the length of the vibration - got around it by creating a new, longer vibration (handy feature that).

Yeah I have got vibration on . . .how do I make a longer vibrate for text message??
Settings > Sound > (Ringtone & notifications) Device vibration > then create a new one. After hitting create, keep pressing the screen to get the length or number of vibrations you want.
same here ...
I'm having the same issue with my new S3. I have created a longer vibration pattern as you suggested, and this seems to fix it for stock notification sounds. But if I try to use one from Zedge for example, it happens again.
I'm going to assume this is a bug they are going to fix the 'inspired by nature' sounds are ok, but I'd like to be able to set my own - with vibrate activated.
Will keep an eye on this thread, and update if I hear anything. Cheers.
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------
still happening here stock sound or not ... hopefully patched soon :-( .... I was beginning to wonder if it's related to any of the apps I have installed, but unlikely as this happened right after a factory reset with no non stock apps installed .... (**I had imported my SMS history from a backup**)
Ok ... so a little more diggin found this on another forum ...
I figured it out, figured I'd post in case someone else comes looking for the same information.
For me, SMS's were causing this. Specifically the problem occurs when conversations began to get very long. I realised after a friend SMS'd me and it played the sound perfectly fine, but cut off while playing it when my partner SMS'd me.
TL;DR: Caused by long conversation history for whatever reason, delete messages to remove the notification issue.
i deleted the long history between myself and my wife ... and it's working properly
I've the same problem.... You have the sensor move "intelligent notification" enabled or disabled???
I have it turned on, but like I say in my previous post, once i shortened my message history, the problem went away ... I don't know how many messages start causing the problem.
My SMS history retention solution is:
limit thread length on phone to 150 and use SMS Backup+ from market to back up everything. That way when the phone drops a message due to thread size, I still have a backup in my gmail account.
hopefully that's it fixed.
Have you tried the suggestions above?
Yes, I limit to 100 sms, but the problem is not fixed....
Now I turned off the sensor move "intelligent notification", and seems to be fixed...
Please, try and send you feddback...
Thank you....
Not just me then.
I'll try these tips one by one and see what resolves it. I have limited the text history to 100 to start with, lets see.
@marcus46
I don't have the problem anymore, so cant replicate it.
I assume by intelligent notification, you mean 'smart alert' under the 'motion' menu?
Whit 100 sms on phone, the problem is not fixed.... now I try with 50 sms....
It's a bug....
I have the same problem with my notifications. It cuts off the sound, sometimes almost instantely, other times I get all of it.
Will try to turn off smart alert and see if that fixes it.
my suggestion would be to back up and then remove ALL conversation threads. Then test. If it works then re-import you sms history and test again.
At least doing this you will know one way or another if it's related to the sms history on your phone.
.... worked for me, but that's not to say it will work for everyone, may just have been a coincidence, but seems too much of a coincidence to not be related.
Good luck!
Ok, I've found the bug... If i have selected the limits of message and "delete old message", when the conversation is "empty" the sounds cut off.... If I don't selected "delete old message".... It's all ok....
Sorry for my bad english....
Thank you. This has indeed solved the notification issue.

Thanks for your reply. Just for clarity, which solution worked for you?
Untick delete old messages in options. I'm guessing when you hit the limit, a new message triggers delete old message and messes with the notification sound.

So your SMS history just grows unchecked? or do you have another way of managing your thread sizes?

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?
