sms with delay

Hi there, due to the fact that the search option doesn't work with less then 4 characters, i can't search for "sms".
But here's my real problem:
I've flashed different roms into my mda vario, after unlocking it. First the Molski.biz rom, then the last original t-mobile rom, but it was toooo slow, i've imediatly deleted it, en flashed the mr clean rom.
But in all roms i have some delay in recieving sms-messages.
Half the time they appear directly after they were sent by my friends, but sometimes i get them after a few hours. for example: it was sent at 15:00, and i received it at 17:30.
And sometimes i don't get any sms-messages, and after an soft-reset, i get 10 at one time, all delayed.
does anyone know what to do about it? or what causes it?
Regards,
Twan

i sometimes get this too though not often its usually when my phone loses signal and when it comes back into signal it wont recevie txt messages until i soft reset or send another txt out then ill get like 4 all at once lol.
Wizard isnt the best phone for txtin i must say as i send a good 1,000 txts a month and so far its poor.

Sounds like a network issue to me...
The network isn't registering the phone or something similar. For SMS the towers "push" the messages to the phone. Queuing them when they don't detect the phone on the network. If the phone is on the network and not getting the messages until it is reset and forced to re-acquire its signal than it is a network problem.
I've seen this problem on a few networks regardless of phone make and model.

I would agree with the above, its a provider issue not a phone issue.
I have a debate with Orange about 10 years ago about not getting text messeges when I loose and then regain service. I was told that when a text is sent to a phone that is off or lost a signal the message is stored until a set time has passed and then delivery is retried, thus getting all the messages at once. The way 'around' this is the disconnect the phone from the network and re-connect. This forces a scan of the message queues and again you will get all messages in one go.
I would assume going in to Flight Mode and back will do the same thing as a soft boot, but I have not tested this.

Okay,
so i could suggest it's not quitte an rom- or wizzard-issue, but a network-issue.
I also think going to flightmode and back will solve the problem. So we will hear from you if that's a solution?
I'm busy reflashing a new rom into my wizzard.

I would hope that as you seeing the problem that you could test this. I get all my texts on time (luckely) so I can't help you I am afraid, I can just share my thoughts.
Let us know how you get on.

I've tried, but now there's nobody who has sent me an sms
ghehe, i'll wait....
but i do think it will work.
i'll keep you posted

This is happening to me all of a sudden and its not a network issue. I have 4 phones on my account and i texted between all of them and only my phone won't get the messages UNLESS I reboot my phone or use smartskey to close a window.
Here is the strange part, when a text message is sent to my phone, the screen turns on, but doesn't show the message pop.
Is smartskey blocking it?
Also, closing a window by clicking on the X also kicks the message to come through

SMS messages threaded in wrong order?

Is anyone having an issue where if they reply to someones text, the reply is listed chronologically before the previous message? I'm wondering if somehow the timestamps are getting messed up on my phone. It only happens sometimes, usually if I reply within 5-10 seconds.

I'm still experiencing this problem. Anyone else? </shameless_bump>

yes, here too, I see this today on 2 times, how can I fix this?!? please help!!!

It has happened to me also, however i noticed it is only with the default messaging app, so i use Handscent instead

this really annoys me

This has been happening to me ever since I had my Evo. I thought it would stop on the Epic, but it continues to happen. The only time I saw this problem dissipate was when I flashed a custom ROM to my evo. And it had the Stock SMS application on there.
Sprint really needs to fix this.

my theory is that if you reply to a message before the message registers as being "read," then the message will stay "unread" and remain the latest message while your response will go into the main list of messages.
if someone could edit how "unread" messages are checked and changed to "read," then this may solve our issue.

it only seems to happen to me when i reply within the same minute. if i get a text at 1:21 and reply at 1:22, im fine. if i get a text at 1:21 and reply and send it in the same minute, it seems to put my reply before their initial text. i dont think its reading the seconds on the time stamp.

Same here.

I can confirm that this happens on three epics

I went through 3 epics before i got one that is good for me, and let me tell you ALL of them had this issue.

I was having this issue... then I noticed it only happened while roaming.
I believe it may have to do with the sms time zone not being correctly handled by the roaming network.

i get perfect bars at my house (no roaming) and it happens to me there. i dont think it has to do with roaming.

I think the issue lies when texts are sent and received at the same minute, perhaps its not recording the seconds which is placing them out of order? It happenes to me when my friend with an epic sends me multiple texts in a row and it also happens to his phone as well.

It happens to me too. I was texting someone around 1pm today and the time stamp said 7:23 pm. I noticed it happened more frequently when I allowed my phone to roam too

bump..no fix for this?

Happens to me too. It use to happen on my BB too so i don't necessarily think it's the phone.

hd mini is restarting when i recieve some text messages?

I tried searching but nothing really came up. Sometimes when I recieve a text message my phone soft resets itself immediately and I never get to read the text message, its not in my inbox.
Have asked someone to resend the same message twice now and its been happening.
Any ideas on whats going on here? I got thep hone in december, its never been updated, is it a known problem and is there a fix for it?
Its REALLY winding me up because I need my phone, I work on call and recieve my shifts via text message

try hard reset as it is the only solution,or better find a new ROM and flash it,this should help.

Phone Retexting

Atrix - Alien Rom.
Apparently my phone is sending the same texts to some people over and over again.
My bill is already jacked up, any ideas to fix this?

This is a network level issue and not a phone issue if rebooting does not fix it.
You will have to conact your network

This issue has to do with the tower you're on. Sometimes shoddy tower signals can result in a mix up and your phone thinking a message insn't sent when it is. So it gets stuck in this loop of sending a message repeatedly. I would try turning your phone off, taking your SIM card out, booting up, turning off phone again and replacing SIM card.
edit: OH yeh and delete the sent messages before you do.

I hope you guys are correct because i remember having a problem with an old Motorola chocolate a white back which I purchased on ebay for my girl friend, I had to buy her a new phone from AT&T because the one I got her was spamming out text messages

I have had the reverse problem of recieving multiple (sometimes infinite) messages with my Atrix, i also believe its a tower problem. But I assure you, it is better to send than recieve.

Had this issue with sending a message to my sister. The problem is with the network the people you are sending to. Their network, (even if it's the same provider), is not sending message received data back to your phone. Call your provider and tell them. When this happened to me I made sure I wasn't being charged for the same international text message over and over. The constant repeat of sending the message will stop after 72 hours, as this is when the networks are set to cancel repeats for non delivery. I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T before they finally figured out the problem was network related.

I just had the same problem two days ago
When life sucks I just enjoy the head

I have the problem with incoming messages every few days. I use Go SMS and ill get one message over and over . Then no other incoming sms will come but outgoing will work. I usually find if I reboot with custom tethering APN on this will initiate the problem and also changing batterries from the BH6X to the BH5X seems to initiate it. Usually now pulling the battery and rebooting with the standard APN AT&T will fix the problem for me. Not sure if this is helpful but I was dealing with it a lot and I have had it happen once since the method above is used.

MMS/SMS Sending failure

Has anyone else experienced MMS/SMS sending failures? One day last week I tried sending a MMS to my boyfriend for at least an hour and it kept saying "unable to send retry". I finally gave up, and deleted the message and physically showed him what I was making for dinner later on LOL. Mind you, I had full bars. Now again today I tried sending a regular text message to a friend and same thing, "unable to send retry". At least this time it went through the second try. I never had this issue sitting at the exact same spot ( at work) with my Nexus. I've had other occurrences too and it can get annoying. I am using the default Samsung messenger. Should I download a third party messaging app?

Did you ever fix?
I just started having the same problem with my SMS after the June update. When I try to send a text message it takes a while for it to send or keeps saying "failed to send". Did you ever get it fixed or figure out the problem? If so I am curious as to how.

I have the same failures but only on WiFi. If I turn off WiFi it's not an issue.

Yeah I just noticed that too. It only does it when i'm on wi-fi, but it just started doing it after my phone updated with the June security patch. I have always texted while on wi-fi at home and never had a problem until now. Wonder if there's an actual fix where wi-fi doesn't need to be off?

I had the same issue with SMS/MMS on stock app. I called up ATT and they reconnect something, but working fine now
