almost every other day for about 1.5 weeks now i keep getting an SMS from some random 3 - 5 digit number containing what appears to be an email address
the last message was yesterday from 3510 and the email address in it is [email protected]/ /
anyone else get these messages? anyone know who is sending them? or how can i make them stop... i have unlimited messages but i dont like receiving them.
help please!
I dont think this goes in this forum, but ive gotten the message about 3 times since I got my G1, which was like a week ago and I wanna know what its from too.
Seems to be something relating to Verizon picture sharing and nothing to do with Dream.
Moved to Dream forum although as said above this isn't a dream issue.
The number is T-Mobile, that is how the forward emails to your phone. Try sending an email to *your phone number*@tmomail.net
And again it sounds like a verizon wireless customer is trying to send you a picture... or you sent a picture to a verizon wireless customer and it was rejected.
If you want to stop this then you can block emails in my.t-mobile.com there is an email area that allows you to block email messages.
i have a friend that sends me lots of pics and he has verizon so that makes sense.
since i didnt know it was related to verizon i figured i'd ask the guys/gals that have the same phone that i do... (dream)
thanx for clearing that issue up for me. and thanx to the devs on this site for doing great work for us who cant...
lol. heheh reminds me of when i used to do sms bombing and all the receiver would see was a four digit number + a random email i used and my message. i did it to my friends a few times but it got boing after a while. And Yes i know this is not your case.
Actually it is only a g1 problem, t mobile says it is working on a fix.

I don't quite believe what is said in the story but do believe it may be specific to the G1... then again these can be coming from apps you installed, wasn't there one that signed your number up for some spam thing?

No, its not related to any apps, because the day I bought my G1 and set it up, I recieved one of those messages before installing any apps.
Hmmm... that is weird. I haven't received anything unsolicited on my phone.... well besides texts from people I rather not speak to anymore LOL
A slightly different explanation is given here at message 8 of 10:

Hi guys,
I've been having issues with sending text messages in the past few days, and it has come on since being at my parents. At first I thought it might have been a problem in the local area, but today I travelled out of the area and my texts aren't getting through still.
I have the delivery report turned on, and each time i send a message that is greater than 160 characters, it comes back saying "The message sent to <recipientname> is not reachable". I've done a bit of googling but I haven't found anything useful. I only really text my girlfriend and we quite often send messages that are 160 characters in length. \
Any ideas what a cause may be? I will be trying to contact the mobile operator (T-Mobile) but I want to be sure it isn't the phone being silly.
Much appreciated if you guys can help
could be a simple hangup between area antennas.
Have you done a soft reset ? If yes, simply run the com wizard again and it should work.
A soft reset has done the trick, thanks
I am having a similar issue except that any text message above 159 characters is not received by one particular person I send it to. I am using my HD2 on O2 contract and the person I am texting is using an LG 910 on Virgin Mobile PAYG. They can send me long text messages fine but they just can't receive them from me.
Also, other people using different phones on different networks can receive long text messages ok from me. Also the person I am texting can receive long text messages from other people.
If I send a long text message with the *0# sequence to request an SMS delivery notification I get a confirmation back saying it was delivered but the person I sent it to never receives the text.
I am wondering if this is some compatibility issue between the HD2 SMS messaging software and the LG 910 phone. Its all very annoying!
Also a soft reset doesn't make any difference either.
Many thanks,
Richard.
i keep getting rthe same message that friends send over and over. say they send
"hi bud"
then i get repeates of that text several times over several minutes
what gives?
bionix 1.3.1
You sir were text bombed. You can block this with a anti sms bomber or anti bomber donate. Search these up i dont remember how much they cost.
mm its not a bomb--they are friends but the messages they send are doubled or triple sent.
I've found that to happen on t-mo from time to time, seems to largely matter on geographical location. Is it every text you get, or just certain ones? Do you notice it does it more or less depending where you are (home vs. school for example)
hmm i havent thought aabout location. its like 30-40% of texts i get may repeat
This has happened to me before when my GF is texting me. I'm not sure if shes using stock MMS app or not. But for me, sometimes handcent says it couldnt send out the message and gives you an option to resend. It might be just that and the network is backed up or something which results in duplicate sent text. I recently switched back to stock MMS and havent had a hitch yet.
I've gotten this before, a few years ago... I called T-Mobile and the rep told me they were having network problems, and gave me 200 free text messages for the "inconvenience" (I was on a plan with 300 texts then, and wasn't really inconvenienced... just very curious).
Back then, though, I would get random double texts and texts recieved with wrong timestamps so my phone would get confused. It hasn't happened to me for years though.
This happens to me and to a friend of mine with a Droid X. I get doubles from him, from iFone users, from a lot of people. I think it's an Android thing. It happens to me on the stock SMS App and on Handcent.
I have found at least two different threads where some of us are experiencing texts that disappear right in front of us. And even worse....texts that are sent to use but we never get them! I've seen my friend's sms record that shows a text was sent, but I did not get it.
I don't think it is rom related, because I've seen the issue presented in an Evo rom thread and a Xoom thread (user has an Evo).
I have completely wiped my phone - twice- and it still happens. Another user trying to trouble shoot the same problem, wiped and reformatted his sd card. This is happening on stock sms and 3rd party sms apps.
AND.. some of us experiencing this are ALSO missing calls. I have seen friend's call history that shows they have called me and I have NO record of a missed call.
Anyway - if you are experiencing this, or thought you were going crazy, I'm trying to troubleshoot and find out wtf is going on. Any ideas would be appreciated. If you are experiencing this, and can join or comment on this discussion maybe we can figure out what the common denominator is.
Thanks!
What up slug. I also can agree with you to. I have missed texts and calls myself. Everytime I was on CM7 or Decks Aosp roms my phone never missed anything. I did miss alot of calls off of MikG. What I do now is upgrade my PRL and Profile every other day.

Hey there, I know you
So by this are we potentially at least narrowing it down to Sense?
Seems like this adds to not being rom related, but maybe sense or sprint? Have you found that updating prl and profile is helping?
Are you sure it was not randomly ok?
Really, as far as I know, I've not missed any texts or phone calls since I did two full wipes. I DO know I've had texts disappear b/c I saw them disappear.
I have had texts disappear once. But that was on one of the nightlies. I was like WTF!! But havent yet since yesterday.
I just posted this in evokings thread... I've been having same issues...
firegeek said:
So due to frustrations with missing text messages, today I flashed the latest Deck rom. As I also was unable to send pics... I was desperate to find a solution ... well pics send great and I haven't missed any texts.
Well I was going thru some of the advanced settings and found a setting about locking messaging in low memory situations. And it got me thinking, is that the issue here? As I know last nite I was playing plants vs zombies when I missed a number of text messages. Do we not have enough memory? Am I asking too much of my poor broken evo? Or can we have that setting?
Just spit balling ... I'm really missing this ROM. And was I alone in having MMS issues? I noticed some talk about it, and renaming a file... but I couldn't understand completely and must have done something wrong because it didn't fix it.
E.
EDIT... yes I did wipe wipe wipe wipe before flashing.

bumping in case others are experiencing this, trying to find what we have in common or if it is a random sprint issue
copy of chat transcript with Sprint agent - apparently this might be a known issue and it might be hardware related.

07/01/2011 03:03:57PM Agent (Sara B): "I will perform the basic troubleshoot remotely. And then I will request you to visit the nearest Sprint store to get the phone repaired. As Insurance is added on the line, you will not be charged the repair fee of $35.00."

07/01/2011 03:06:30PM Agent (Sara B): "Yes, this can be. As the phone needs to be checked physically."
07/01/2011 03:08:27PM "Ok, thank you so much, I really appreciate your help. I need to take my phone in for the camera to be looked at so they can look at this at the same time - I had no idea it might be hardware related, I just assumed software since there have been updates."
  Thank you for your time

I know there was a problem with SMS messages appearing in the wrong thread or being sent to the wrong person with Froyo. That was one of the things that was supposed to be fixed in the Gingerbread update.
I think I have always received all of my texts though. Missing calls? That has happened on my Evo and several of my previous phones. Sometimes the phone never rings and then suddenly I have a voicemail from someone. It's something wonky with the Sprint network and has happened to me and other members of my family on various phones. I don't think it's specific to the Evo or any ROM on the Evo.

Yea, that sms going to the wrong person thing is supposed to have been fixed.
But this is different. Way different. And I've only seen the combination of things mentioned by evo or 3d evo owners. Texts that show as being sent by a friend that never show up on your phone, same thing with phone calls, and also watching texts within a sms thread literally disappear.
Texts not arriving is sprints network failing. Same with missed calls not showing up
I receive a notification for having a text via the light blinking but there are no texts! This only happens to me when I play plants vs zombies though. Not sure if its the same issue lol

Welcome to the now network, now you wish you chose someone else
I too have had these same problems on cm7, mikfroyo, mikg, mikz,and stock froyo. Definately not a rom related problem
I have been having this same problem on MIUI and Fresh Rom, before and after flashing radios. I live in Florida, if it could be a region/network thing. My wife's Evo is running an old 2.2 rom and she misses calls all day long, simply gets a GVoice notification.

Ok, this is ridiculous then.
Thank you all soooo much for reporting in.
I like Sprint and love my Evo and have no intention of changing carriers or phones (unless I get the 3d or 4g+).
When our phones quit functioning reliably as a PHONE, that is a big problem.
Hey slug, we spoke about this but I want to chime in. I too get the the light indicator go off and never get any messages, I've also seen messages disappear after a few minutes in the thread. I know I've definitely missed calls and only get voicemail.
I've never had a problem with Sprint or my evo until the new sense which I think is the culprit.
I've done a test on a theory I had. I deleted one of my text threads from a friend, sent him a text and asked him to reply (i was ok the phone with him too). When he replied, I got the indicator flashing but no message. Hung up the phone and still no message. I'm starting to think its new threads started by us that it won't show, but also current threads r being effected because I always get a daily message and today never received it.
I'm going to switch back to warm 2.2 and see if it stops and if I receive all of the missing texts but I highly doubt that.

So update on my text dilemma. I switched back to 2.2 and I get texts but now most of my apps doesn't work. Lol I tell ya I can't win. Gonna switch back to synergy later, too tired this to do it now.

I also miss lot of calles that never Come and most of it is started sense they merged with google voice I think it as something to do with it. Also the time stamp in sms is crazy and it is only on sense sms app i have tried other apps and there all fine.. its hard to keep up with a chat using sense app the text is all over the place.

I use Handcent, not the stock sms, and I still have the problem.
I've been wondering what "touches" all of these aspects - texts, phone calls, etc. And while I've thought of Spring, Sense and roms....I had not thought of Google Voice because I don't use it. But you are right, there has been some sort of integration made with that.

Well the problem that I'm having is due to minfree's I think. I think what happens is that the messaging service gets closed to free up RAM and thus the notification light blinks to wake the service up, but it just never decides to read and write the text. The reason why I think it's a memory issue is because when I play PvZ, that's 80 MB of RAM. On the 2.1/3.0 ROM's, I have about 110 free (on Mik's) and 85 on Synergy or Kingdom. When I play PvZ, in order to get that much RAM, it needs to close things, usually launchers are locked in memory so they don't close. But if I'm playing and someone texts me, WiMax notifier goes off when a text is there, but there are no texts and people get mad cuz I don't reply.
It has however, never stopped a phone call for me. Only texts. The other thing I noticed is that if I'm constantly checking my messaging app i.e. keeping it awake, the problem never occurs. So I believe it might be a memory issue with the newer sense. At least for me lol so unless there is a way to lock the messaging app, I don't think it will be solved for people experiencing the issue I am. And I'm not sure if this could also be the phone culprit for not receiving calls.
Edit: Just edited my minfree's and it happened without pvz hmm I think its a memory issue for me then
I recently switched from iphone to note 3 and i am about to pull my hair out. At first i wasnt getting any text from iphone users. i disabled my old imessage account and all seemed well. Then i realized if i send a group text out that i wasnt getting the responses as they were going to imessage. I changed my imessage password and deactivated the phone on the support page. what can i do to get all of my text?
thanks in advance.
My wife just got a new phone number. The number was formally married to an iPhone. She was not receiving any message from iPhone users because someone had it registered to imessage. I just called apple, 1-800 - my - apple and got technical support to unmarry the number.
From my SM-N900W8
i did that but still nothing. i can receive normal text all day. i can send out group text. the problem is i cant receive group text responses. i am texting with iPhone users but if i send out a group text and they reply it never makes it back to my phone. this is so frustrating because i dont know what i am missing.
