Not receiving text - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason a good buddy of mine can receive my text messages but I do not get his. I have at&t and he has Verizon. Anyone else experience this or have any ideas to solve. I get all texts from everyone else but all my other friends and family have at&t

Just curious, are you getting this with every MMS on every contact? I'm having the same problem, but it's only to one specific contact whether I try to send it to that persons Verizon Wireless number or their T-Mobile number. However, I can send MMS to my wife or friends on multiple carriers.
Odd. Yea. I sent one to someone else, but I can't send one to my gf on Verizon. ?

Still doesn't explain the issue of one contact with multiple numbers on multiple carriers. My boss for example. I can't send an MMS to her T-Mobile line or Verizon line. I get the same error, but I can send to everyone else (haven't gotten an error on anyone else... yet)
Only in the situation of why would it error on T-Mobile to T-Mobile from a Vibrant to a Bold 9700 which I know has texting and data. She's a T-Mobile employee like me.
Adding a Subject worked. Sent my gf a test and it worked. Thanks! This is odd.

[Q] Atrix not receiving text messages from iPhone

Hey guys, everytime i text my friends with the iPhone4 i only recive every other message they send. It happens with only the iPhone4 (AT&T & Verizon). When I text my friends that have Android OS phones I receive every message.
Got any advice or fixes? Please?
Tell your friend to get an android. But it happens with multiple Iphone 4s? Do any of your other android owning friends experience this?

No I haven't asked but it happens on both carriers so it can t just be AT&T service.

Here's the text,

Did you not read about this elsewhere? Everyone's known for like atleast 2 months
and people who actually followed the case could have told you it was off way earlier
I been following it since it become rumors, I posted it because I just received the text. I thought people would relate to it.

Thats weird. Usually they send a text to everyone if its something like this. I have yet to receive a text like that, anyways the merger was called off about a few months ago, and basically most people already know about it.
I got the same text about an hour ago. Also got a letter in the mail a couple weeks ago. Maybe they have Cedric the Entertainer working in the PR department..."Are you sure? Are you sure, sure?"

Yea i just got this. Its funny that if you follow the link and watch those videos of the iphones they're basically just saying that there 4g is faster than everyone elses 3g which is obvious. very stupid marketing
just got it today too.
To be fair, T-mobile's 3g is faster than everyone else's 3g...
This thread wasn't useless after all

Help! Anyone in Los Angeles area with a Nexus 4 (16gb) Not on T-Mobile

First off, not sure if this is in the right section but if its not please mods feel free to move. Also if this in anyway violates forum rules please remove.
With that said, as the title implies I need help from someone that fits the description of the title. Why? Long story, but I'll try summarizing it.
I bought a use nexus, everything works and its in perfect condition. Except that its blocked from T-Mobile. I hadn't notice this as I just recently tried activating it with them. before that I was with AT&T and everything worked perfectly. So what do I need? I would like to find someone who is willing to swap phones (same model). That only needs it for AT&T (or straight talk, etc). Like stated, phone is in perfect condition except a small scratch near the sim slot, Unlock boot loader, running Carbon ( I could put it back to stock). So please if you're willing to help me out PM me and we could work something out. Thanks.

If its blocked from T-Mobile it was stolen and the IMEI was blacklisted. Irreversible, unless you want to illegally change the IMEI
Google is your friend there

Nice information. So is there anyway to check a used phone if it is in any blacklist?
What do mean "it's blocked by Tmobile?"
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
As in bad IMEI number, up till yesterday I had no idea T-Mobile blocked phones. My guess is that the guy who sold it to me was doing fraud, report it lost so he could get another one. Reason being is that a few days later he hit me up asking me if I wanted another one of course I had no need for it so I just disregard his message...
Anyhow, if anyone is willing to do an swap. Let me know and we could work something out.
It works perfectly for at&t or any other carrier except T-Mobile :/

My guess is no, unless you call T-Mobile and ask em about the IMEI number. So if you're planning on purchasing a use T-Mobile phone call first!

Stolen/fraud and ATT will likely block the phone soon since they started sharing their blacklist database last year.
I feel for you. I also appreciate the full disclosure. But, I think that you're most likely stuck with it. After all this is a forum full of nexus owners so you'd be hard pressed to get a someone to even swap their nexus that's on the network of their choosing for one with a questionable esn. Perhaps if you sweetened the pot(throw in some $) you'd have better luck.
With that out the way... why didn't you demand a refund from the seller? Or at least swapped for the phone he text to try to sell you? Did you even tell the seller about the fact you couldn't activate the phone?

long messages

First Samsung phone. When I get a message that is broken into parts because of size, reading from the top of phone is backwards. The last part comes in first and the first part comes in last. Is this a Samsung thing and can it be changed?
My wife has this problem when she gets long messages from iPhone users. I don't receive long messages very often (must not have any long-winded friends), so I don't know if my phone does it.
I tested a message sent from my S4 to hers, it came through as one message, not broken up. I am researching it some more and will let you know what I come up with. It drives her nuts, too.
My girl has an iPhone and her messages do the same thing to mine

I have it set that way and they still do it.
OK now I am totally confused as it does not take a lot. The messages from a droid on Verizon were coming in split and backward. Getting messages from an I-phone on AT&T and they are coming split but coming in right. This is backwards from what others are saying.
I think it has to do with the clock not only on the sending phone, but also the clock on the other networks. The phone should get the time from the network if it is set to. If it's not set to do so, that could be part of the problem. Maybe the way a message is time stamped on another network is different, or time can slightly vary from different networks. I don't know much about it. I found a lot of people with this problem, but no real solutions. I couldn't get it fixed, so guess I will just have to deal with it.
I see this problem a lot when getting texts from Verizon phones Android or iPhone. Never from At&t or Sprint.
