Hi there my xda-friends!
Every since I updated my phone to Froyo (official) I've had two problems. I unrooted my phone before I updated to 2.2.
The first one is pretty strange. A friend of mine says that my phone sends him a text with about five minutes delay, which says that I have received the text he sent me. He also has a Legend with Froyo on it, but so does my sister, and she doesn't receive any texts from me (except the ones I sent her of course).
This can be solved by restarting my phone, but it begins sending "I've read your text now"-messages to my friend again after about a day. Both me and my friend have tried to remove our conversations and such, (oh, and I still see the sort-by-time bug with my texts, but I think that's because the messages-app doesn't sort my seconds, only minutes).
The other problem I have is that I can't receive calls after a random amount of days, and I can see that my mobile-internet is trying to connect, gets a connection and drops it after a few seconds, and repeats, seen by the internet-icon in the system-bar(?). Then I know something is wrong with my phone (this time, I wasn't able to receive calls).
But again, this can be resolved by restarting my phone, but that shouldn't be necessary, everything worked in 2.1!
I would like Not to factory reset my phone, if you guys have any tips I could try before I'm forced to trying force-resetting.

Alright. That's too bad. But now I've factory-reset it, and so far it feels a little snappier than before, and I got the new market-app with the green skin almost immediately, so maybe something was aching up

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
so maybe like an hour ago, my phone decided to stop working. i've restarted twice and deleted texts. my text messages just sit in the out going box. one friend got the message 8 times, but my phone said it hadn't even sent yet. i also only sent it once. so i'm worried as to how many times my other friend got a message that i've sent about 5 times.
i tried calling 2 people and it wont connect. is it my phone or it t-mobile being weird? i really need my phone as i have a date tonight, so if i could get some help fast that would be wonderful. i do not want to do a hard reset and lose everything, but if that is what needs to be done i guess i can do it.
Unfortunately, when a phone starts acting up, if soft reseting doesn't work, a hard reset is usually the only answer. Unless it's phone hardware issues...
You can try to uninstall tweaks and programs and see if it's one of them causing the problem... have you changed your ROM radio by any chance?
it fixed itself after about 2 hours
What the heck? I had at least 600+ txt messages from all different people, and now they're all gone?!?! I sent a txt message (stock, not rooted, using google's Messaging app), put my phone into sleep mode, woke up my phone a few minutes later to send another msg, and was greeted by an empty thread (with a bud's phone number there but none of the prev. messages), and there were no messages/threads anymore
The exact same thing has happened to me twice so far...
Yep. This happens ALL THE TIME with me. I've been having MyBackup Pro run nightly backups so I don't lose important information. This is a serious bug for me and it's cost me some info that could not be recovered before that I really needed.
I've never had a smartphone that has done this but the Nexus does it about once a week. Now I only lose a few messages when it happens since I back up every night, but the fact the issue is there at all and it just happens randomly is really disheartening. Rooting and using a custom ROM has not helped.
Have all of you tried disabling auto delete?
Yeah, that's not related to this issue. You can have auto-purge off and it will still happen after a while. Just randomly erases everything.
That's odd, this is the first time im hearing of this. I've never had my phone delete anything i didn't want it to.
Maybe it's something to do with the ROM you're using or some tweaks you've done.
Try using a stock rom for a while or something and see if the problem persists
I've heard this happening many times now, and every time it was when using the built in messaging app. So I've used hand cent from day 1.
interesting. this happened to me also. only one time though so far..*knocks on wood.
never had it happen to me (knock on wood) thats a very weird problem :\
This has happened top me once on my Nexus in three months.
It's on the buglist here - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5669 where they are asking for logs to help identify the issue.
There are already a couple of threads about this. It's not just the Nexus - it seems to be 2.x

For the record, while it only happened to me once, it did happen to me and I've never rooted or installed any custom ROMs (I even waited for the official OTA for update 1 to hit me in due order).
Luckily I had a 2-week old backup of SMS to restore and I've since set a nightly backup schedule for SMS/MMS and call log via MyBackupPro.
One thing that may contribute is that I am a pack rat and so have every message that I've gotten since I got my G1 in 10/08 (ignoring that one purge due to this bug and the time when I forgot to turn off auto-deletes and didn't notice until a couple of weeks later). I have threads with several hundred messages in them for the friends I text most...
It does seem to happen to us pack rats, and not very often to those who don't hoard messages. I read somewhere that it was suspected to be an overflow error of some sort, and that people had managed to prevent it by keeping the auto-delete function active.
I am not prepared to do that however. I don't want to deliberately delete my messages that I have worked so hard to collect. I would rather google fixed it.
Hopefully froyo will bring a solution to our problem.
Has anyone had their phone randomly reboot? It's happened to me twice now (twice in 4 weeks). Both times the phone was in my coat pocket and I felt it vibrate (which surprised me since all vibration effects are off), and was even more surprised to see the MT4G splash screen (meaning it was rebooting). The phone is not rooted and is running the stock OTA ROM.

Are you sure? I was hoping it wasn't since it does not happen frequently, which I would think it would if it was a real problem. I'd assumed it was just a software glitch (both times it's happened I've been in a building with weak signal). I'd really like to know for sure before sending it in, because that will most likely mean getting a re-manufactured unit.
EDIT: after thinking about it, I realized it happened before when receiving a text. The incoming message indicator briefly appeared, but before I could read it, the phone rebooted. I then texted the person who I assumed texted me, and indeed they had just texted me. That has only happened once (this was several weeks ago).
Happens to me about twice a week as well. I just live with it.

Was just browsing around to see if anyone else had this problem as I did. First time was when I just got it. The second time (same week) it rebooted when I was getting ready to text someone back who just text me.
Phones getting replaced because a dead pixel. Hopefully that one has a good screen like this one and no problems.
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
