Am I the only one with SMS issues? v.ArriveOutOfOrder

The following happens no matter which ROM I use. Stock, fresh, modaco. I'm currently on fresh .6 (includes RM). Before that I had the stock ROM with MR update.
My PRL is up to date.
Happens with Handcent, Chomp and stock Messages app.
Problem:
When have a text conversation via SMS the arriving text are received out of order, some come on time, other come minutes later making the conversion impossible to follow. When they finally do arrive they are correctly sorted.
So let's say that I have a conversation that should look like: (just an example)
Me: Hi
Them: Hey whats up?
Me: Going to the game.
Them: Yeah I'll be there in 10 minutes
Me: Can you send me directions?
Them: Just did.
Me: thanks
But it will read like:
Me: Hi
Me: Going to the game.
Them: Yeah I'll be there in 10 minutes
Me: Can you send me directions?
Them: Hey what's up?
Them: Just did.
Hard to explain but then the sms get sorted correctly after a second and if they said something in a long convo that I'd have to scroll up for I'd never see it.
It's weird I know I'm getting thoem sometimes because my phone will go nuts with ringers, tell me I have 4 new messages but I only see two. 30 seconds later they appear in the conversation. Usually I get the latest ones first, then the older ones come through.
It is SO frustrating. If it's not one thing with this phone it's another.
Has anybody heard of this?

call sprint, see if they can disable your texts and then reenable them on your account, i had a similar issue with my texts.. it wasn't exactly like that, but I'd get like 1/3 then 3/3and a minute later almost 2/3 would appear, and my texts would go like older than their old texts... once they did that they work perfectly now

Yup. It has to be something with your account. Have them do what nelson said or re-provision your phone.

I live in Chicago and we don't get Sprint service while underground on the train. When I get back into range, 20 minutes later a missed text will magically appear, but strangely it is stamped with the correct time.
Is it possible that you are in an area of spotty service?

That behavior ir reasonable and expected; but, no, this happens to me in areas of near-perfect reception like my home where I have all but one bar most of the time.
Also, I believe the timestamp's embedded as metadata in each SMS message which puts it in the right place on any phone, smart, dumb, new old etc.

yeap, I have the same problem here... Do you happen to live in MST?
I'm in Scottsdale and randomly I'll have messages timestamped exactly one hour behind. From what I've heard it's a Mountain Standard Time issue. My issues started when Daylight Savings Time started. It's rather annoying tbh, but its completely random.

Hrm, I had it happen to me last night, and I'm in Scottsdale too.

Happens to me as well. I'll randomly get a text that shows up timestamped 1 hour behind. I'm in Goodyear.
Hearing about this on other forums as well. Seems to be mostly AZ people with the problem.

thats funny. my wife and I have this same issue. i'm in east mesa. definitely AZ issue.

Aren't you guys the ones that *don't* do anything for daylight savings? If so, I wonder if that has anything to do with things...

I have the same problem and im in sioux city, iowa...mine does not do it all the time just everyonce in awhile tho

This also happens to me.. I live in Howell, NJ and it was also happening to me on a recent trip to Mountain View, CA.

Me too , I'm in Orange, ca.

I am an az guy and also have this issue. Htc knows about it and so does sprint. When they will fix it no one knows.
If you dl handcent it fixes it even tho the times will still be screwed up on some of the texts.

I'm also in AZ (Tucson) and having the SMS time stamp issue as well. It doesn't seem to be very wide spread unfortunately. I've searched a few forums and have only seen a post or two about it. Kind of makes me wonder if Sprint/HTC will do anything about it...

In Tucson, AZ here too and having the same problem. Holy crap it's annoying.

Download handcent and it will fix the issue until sprint/htc fix it.

I experience the problem with handcent as well.

Yup, still happens with Handcent but it looks like it at least displays them in order received... at least that I've noticed.

I was in SoCal last week and when ppl from the east coast would sms me it would put the conversations in order by their local time, i.e. my replies were behind theirs even though it was a newer text. Handcent.

SMS not sending.

Sometimes at random the phone will stop allowing texts to be sent, on various contacts.
I think this isn't a problem with the phone but the Android software, i have signal and its connected to 3G, sometimes HSPA. However will repeatedly not send a text.
If i just reboot the phone it'll work fine. However can get this problem later on again. Its as if the software cant handle sending a certain amount of texts per 10 minutes or something?
Anyone else had this problem.
Rooted & CM Beta5, however done it OTB.

I've never had a problem sending or receiving txt.
I'm on stock rom though

I'm on the stock rom aswell and i've been having that problem lately too, i was hoping i wasnt the only one.

Seems a problem http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f10/text-messages-not-sending-4534/

I'd like to second this. I was trying to send a bunch of messages the other night and had to keep rebooting my N1 to get them to start sending again. Then it would stop sending, and I'd reboot again... worrying. I was using Handcent though.

I use the standard SMS application.

Stock ROM. Only fix is a reboot for me.

Same with me. Happens every once in awhile. Reboot is the only thing that fixes the problem for me. It has not happened since I rooted my phone and flashed cyanogen's rom

1 time, i gaveup and couldnt be bothered to reboot the phone. Went to sleep, wokeup an tried in the morning an it worked fine.
Maybe a buffer issue or something like its full due to sending a high ammount of messages very quickly?

Happened to me twice on CM 5.0.2.

Ive had it over a dozen times, hence the thread

Ok,
So ive got the problem again! has occured at 2pm GMT. Have 4bars H signal.
Not going to reboot the phone just wait see how long it takes.
Surely more people are having this problem?

I'm using Enoms TheOfficial and I haven't ever had a problem. I text more than anybody I know too. [3k per month]
Maybe your local network or something. I'm in Dallas, Texas

It did it on STOCK Rom and Cyanogens Rom too. I send maybe the same ammount too!
Not the network as here in UK i am T-Mobile and other people on T-Mobile can text me when there stood 1ft away. My mates works and he has a Nexus on T-Mobile too.
We both own Sim-Free mobiles bought direct from Google and Delivered at the same time.

I say handcent is the problem

It's not handcent as it's happening with the stock messaging app also.

I also have the problem, usually around the same time, but i send anywhere from 7k to 10k a month... maybe tmobile is trying to limit my data?!?!

Mine still does it purhaps few times a week.

use a task killer (lately i have been favoring task panel), then restart your messaging app. you don't have to reboot.

I had an old sim card and had the same problem and got a replacement from tmobile and everything is fine now.

Sms timestamp issues

Is anyone else having issues with, their sms timestamps? Its really screwing up the thread view of my sms window, makes for a somewhat confusing conversation.

SMS sent/received in same minute get sorted improperly.... annoying.

well I am receiving sms messages showing a time of 2-3 hours later than actual time received

I have this issue too. It only occurs when I am roaming though. My incoming timestamps are displaying as being 5 hours in the future. gah. This same problem occurred with my touch pro 2 and thought it was a bug. guess not. must be an issue with the carrier I am on when i am roaming.
any way to fix this?

yeah i have the same problem...i was just gonna post a thread about it.
i sometimes text with my girl nonstop for like 20 minutes, conversations get ridiculously hard to read. i send a text and her response is in the middle between to texts i sent a minute ago....
i used to flash sense roms on the g1 and always went back to a regular vanilla rom cause of this problem. now im stuck with this problem and every rom i go to has the same issue...sucks.
sigh, 30fps cap which a google employee said is not a software problem, fear of the glass of my screen raising above the bezel, now this? 720p video is very "720p" either. lotta gripes about the phone..sprint and htc f'ed up... it is a new product tho so i guess its supposed to come with a fair share of problems..

[Q] Problem recieving text messages

Hello to everyone!
I've been recently having some troubles with my evo 4g. I'm running fresh 3.5.0.1 and just updated my radios to 1.90_003 . Right before i upgraded (from fresh 3.4 or 3.3 not sure) I started to have problems with my text messages.
First i noticed that i got one from "the future" it was timestamped about 2 hours ahead of what time it was and i didn't recieve a notification for it. So i checked for some updates since it had been a while and upgraded everything i was suppose to (ota,radio,wimax,pri,etc). Now my messages seem to have the same problem if not more. I get alerted 5 or 10 minutes after i receive the message, while going through my conversations say i select a convo with my friend zack and convo from my friend kyle will come up, and i will have to go back and select it again.
So i'm wondering if this is a service provider problem or something with the apps for custom firmware i'm using. Could it be caused by an app like JuiceDefender?

The timestamp issue usually only happens when roaming, but can also be caused by network issues in general. My old flip phone, rumor, and instinct all had that issue from time to time.
The other issue with opening one text and getting someone else is an android issue, engadget reported on that today actually.

Yeah I have been having time stamp issues also. And when someone replies, it puts them all above my txts sent that day, so I gotta constantly scroll up to read txts.
Anyone got any idea's on fixing this?

^^That happens to me too^^ I thought my phone was just fcukin up. It does it when someone sends me a pic. Puts it at the top of the convo's for that day...
I got a "VERY" important text 20 mins late the other day too. 20 mins too late!!! Pissed me off!!!!

good to know that i'm not the only one experiencing this problem hopefully gets fixed soon. if i had to guess i think it's most likely a problem/conflict with sprint and android.

Cant send SMS... Sometimes?

I'm hoping somebody has experienced this before and found a fix and can help me out...
All day I've been struggling to send SMS messages... I'm on 11.0.1.1, magisk rooted, with RICE installed. Everything was working great but today when i woke up, i was unable to send SMS messages...
I'm receiving them, but sometimes they are delayed and i get a few at a time with nothing coming in again for a short time after that, but i've made no changes to my phone in the last 2 days. I've rebooted a few times between then and now (twice yesterday, just because), so i cant really understand why i would just randomly be unable to send text messages or why they are received in bursts like this?
I've gone in and reset my "Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth" settings from within the reset options, and this appears to fix the issue, but only for a minute or so and suddenly they stop sending again... I thought maybe its the tower, so i used my daughters phone to text my wife and that worked perfectly fine. Immediately before and after, mine wouldnt send.
Any ideas, links, or guidance that might help me figure this out?

Since there's been some updates and no responses to my thread, i wanted to revisit this and see if i'm still the only one on earth with this issue.
The issue seemed to have completely gone away on its own, no idea why or how... But a couple weeks ago i decided to install the update to 11.0.2.2 on my IN11AA. Ever since, my phone will randomly stop receiving SMS messages completely. I can still send, just cant receive. The only way to fix this is to reboot.
Anyone else with this issue? Anyone find a reason for this? A fix perhaps?

Seeming this issue doesn't seem to be widespread, could be a carrier side issue?
It's a shame we don't have dual boot capabilities because you could have switched to stock and checked.
Also try a secondary SIM from maybe someone in your household and send using that SIM and see what happens.
I know there are delays after rebooting, I do a lot of magisk module work and every reboot try sending notifications using SMS or some other methods and I get around 3 mins no send or receive but not at the length you do.

I just had the issue again yesterday. Wife and I started texting eachother at about 8am, except, i didnt receive any of her messages until 5:30pm when she got home and told me she had been texting me. I rebooted 3 times, which once usually resolves the issue but not this time. I had to go into the settings and reset my WiFi/Mobile/Bluetooth settings, then it worked immediately.
Because of the solutions, i wouldnt think its a sim issue, but im going to test it anyway. I've factory reset a few times in the past and i still get the issue. I've had the issue while rooted and not rooted. Four of us have phones, 3 are Samsung and then there's mine, and mine's the only one with the issue.

What SMS app are you using? I wonder if you have enabled RCS messaging the new Google style messaging? Because maybe it uses WiFi to download some of the SMS, and if your carrier doesn't support it maybe you only receive it when you are on WiFi.
Try on WiFi then try just on mobile data and see if you notice.
I attached a photo check the top setting. Google might be persisting your setting (if you are using Google messages)
Also why don't you and your wife try a simnswap next time you happen and you are both at home, if your wife doesn't receive it then it's sim/network related.

I'm using Google Messages, and yes i do have RCS enabled. I dont believe thats the case though because the messages that are blocked are sometimes just an "ok" message. I'm almost always on WiFi though too.
The primary issue with sim swapping with my wife is that we would need to swap sims for up to 2 weeks since sometimes I have no issues for 2 weeks, then i get the issue once or twice a day for three days. The worst part (for me anyway) is that her screen is SHATTERED on her phone (she's using a Note10+) and its hard to see anything, so i've been trying to get her to get a new phone. I think we might be FINALLY upgrading her (after 5 months) to an S21 Ultra, so maybe we'll give that a shot there.
I'm actually wondering if it has something to do with messages for web. I've noticed that the issue only really happens after using that, but.. It doesnt always happen after using messages for web, so it might just be a coincidence.
I'm pretty sure its not Google Messages, or RCS, and fairly certain its not messages for web, because i used to use Signal only, and i still had the issue a few times.

When you say "ok" are you just sending short messages or the suggested replies by Google?
I had problems with auto reply in notifications for a while.
Tbh I just use telegram or signal becuase they don't require being connected to the device directly when using the web/desktop versions.
Yeah swapping for 2 weeks isn't great!
Interesting you had this issue with signal too, sounds like Google cloud messaging (needed for any app push notifications and messaging) is in a standby mode.
You got naptime or servicely installed? Shame no one else is seeing this issue might be easier to diagnose
