I am having a lot of problems with directmail notification being very rough.. it is not unusual to have one email come in and notify me and then the next 6 not notify me at all. I have checked my settings and rechecked.. but still not very reliable. Anybody have any idea what is going on and if so how can it be fixed?
Thanks all!
I have a similar problem. See post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284726
morning guys. i have an issue with my sms. back then when i recieve more than one text message, lets say 4, i was able to open the thread, reply, and all the messages will be shown as read and the new message alert would disapear. also when the thread is open, and i recieve a message and exit it, it would show as read.
however, recently, when i recieve more than 1 message, i need to open up the message that many times. for example, if i recieve 5 messages, i would need to go into that message thread 5 times in order to clear all the read messages. also, if i leave the thread open and i recieve a message for that person, exiting doesnt clear it beign read anymore. does anyone have this issue or know of a fix? thank in advance
I'd soft reset and see if that fixes it. I've never had that problem so I don't know a solution. I'll look through the message settings and see if something could've gotten tweaked that is causing it.
i have soft reseted many times, and still it remains the same. this is really annoying me. i havent changed any sms settings either. im not sure if its rom related ( touch 4.5), but i asked people in that thread, and no one there knows either.
i jsut flashed 2 other roms, touch it 4.5 and jacks rodium 3.0 and they are both like that with the messaging problems. can anyone here confirm if they have this problem or not? or if its something known for the new rhodium/topaz packaging.

yes, i'm having the same problem with touch it 4.5. also, is the organization of ur texts messages all scrambled too?
occasionally yes it goes out of order. but most of the time it is in order. anyone else has this problem and know of a solution? ig et a lot of sms so this is a big issue for me
Hi my problem is received TEXT messages on my HTC HD2, when I receive a message it always opens viewing the last message I looked at NOT the one that just arrived how can I change this?
I have upgraded my software twice and tried many settings but nothing works!
I've searched many threads but have not found an answer to this. Does anyone know?
I've found a thread on changing to a different skin, but I don't know if that would solve the problem either.

(sorry, I can't post links as a newb apparently)
Any help would be appreciated.
there's a fix for this. i believe it is called sms time stamp fixer
look here...
I have this really strange issue with my focus, it's completely unlocked and I am using a custom rom on it (I've used several over the past few months.) but I'm using it on the Tmobile network and for whatever reason, it will receive 10 sms messages, and then after that, it stops. The only way to get more is to reset the phone and then it will collect 10 more messages, then stop. Has anyone else had this issue or know of any kind of fix for this?
Should be an easy fix, have a look here.
In the future, make use of the Search feature (also see last line in my sig)

Thank you for your quick reply. Usually when I tried searching for it I only found the MMS issues, which I already had the resolved with no problems. This definitely fixed my SMS issues immeadiately though. Thank you again.
You're welcome and glad you got it sorted!
Cheers
I originally asked this in Tasks thread because that is my ROM, but it isn't only his ROM as it has happened before on different phones, but always AOSP.
When I have my phone set to auto-retrieve MMS it does the expected behavior unless the MMS doesn't download correctly the first try. Sometimes I miss the message completely if it doesn't download and sometimes it notifies me with "Message not downloaded tap to retry" but when I tap that it takes me to a messaging screen where that MMS is gone. If I set the phone to not auto-retrieve I can try to download multiple times and I will not lose the message.
I know the logical answer is not to have it auto retrieve, but in a group MMS I have to go to each specific contact and hit download on each message which is counter intuitive to the smart phone.
Again, I don't think this is rom specific because I remember it on my S3 happening a time or two when GroupMMS first came to AOSP, but is there any way to make the phone keep the message in messaging if it fails to download? I used to be able to download GOSMS and use it to find them, but on the S4 they are nowhere to be found with any app I've used so far. Sometimes the message when set to not auto retrieve will just sit and say downloading forever and I have to delete it. It is pretty frustrating. I saw something on Google about it where someone had started the issue but it was for Android 2.2 and it wasn't quite the same issue.
If you haven't seen this, try setting to auto retrieve and have someone send you a bunch of mms, see if you get them all. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm missing them, which sucks too.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone fixed it?

Do you have any ad blocking software installed such as ad-away or ad-block? If so disable them and see if it works.. These programs I don't know which one exactly were causing this issue on my phone at one time. I disabled them and MMS worked correctly again. I never felt like going in and checking which setting was causing this problem so I just uninstalled them...

I don't. Thanks for that info though. The weird thing is I might even get 9 out of 10 MMS, but randomly one will not download the first try and it just disappears. I'm ok with it not downloading the first try, but if it just disappears and I don't see it I have no idea who it's from or what it was about.
I'm having the same exact problem, OP. I'm rocking a Play Store Galaxy Nexus on AT&T. I miss a lot of group messages and I'm almost ready to switch to an iPhone, or a carrier that does MMS over WiFi.

Don't like the iPhone idea, but I do wonder what else I'm missing. Today I woke up and had 3 text messages showing, but when I clicked the notification I only had one unread. I don't know if it was an incorrect notification or if I lost those sms also. I might download go and leave it on there to see if it helps. So far Handcent hasn't helped. I have it hidden in the background to see if it will catch these. I also got a message that I missed this morning and I'm not sure if it was a resend or if it just randomly came to me, but I got it 4 hours later.

We're definitely losing messages. Sometimes I get a toast messages "Can't download message from Jane Doe" if I catch it at the right time.
Sometimes it also shows up in my notifications preview, "Jane Doe" but I click on it, it takes me to the Group MMS, but then Jane Doe's message isn't in the thread. It shows up in my friends' iPhone threads though. It's like the phone receives it initially, then just throws it out.
Other times if I miss messages, I get a ton of "Hidden Sender Address" in my notification bar. I tap on it, it's blank. I check my friends' threads, and of course there's some messages I miss.
Like you said, the only reliable way to receive these MMS is to turn off auto-retrieve, but then I'm going into each individual's thread and clicking download a many times. If we're all live group chatting, this is a little intense, but I want to be part of the group...

Also, I'm guessing we aren't the only ones dealing with this, but maybe others haven't noticed it yet. It's pretty frustrating.

I found this issue awhile ago in the tracker. Pretty much sums it up, but compound it with group MMS. Look how old the dates are...
FYI - I was having issues with Text/Picture Messaging Not Downloading/Sending with AOSP ROMS.
After some heavy duty Googleing and putting the pieces together from numerous posts across different sites this is what I came up with...
Go to: Settings --> Mobile Networks --> Preferred Network Type
Select: CDMA+LTE/EVOD instead of Global and reboot. (I think AOSP ROMS are set to Global for the purpose of being used worldwide.)
Since I did this my picture messaging works perfectly! Be sure to check this each time you change ROMS or update your current installed ROM.
