I have had this happen at twice on my stock Nexus 4, a reboot resolved the issue the first time when on 4.2.1 completely stock. The other time was within the last week and texting out appeared to have resolved the issue or was just random coincidence and was on 4.2.2 completely stock.
The first time data worked just fine and I was none the wiser that my phone was not correcting receiving calls or text till my wife showed up to my office pissed that she was waiting out front to pick me up because we car pool. Phone went straight to voicemail like it was turned off. She was less pissed off when I had her call my phone with her present seeing that it did not ring. Rebooted the phone and instantly got a series of text messages. However, as I said mobile data was working fine the whole time.
So no really help other than letting you know it has happened to me as well.

[q] not receving all txt msgs

Hello, i have a samsung galaxy and my girlfriend has a blackberry curve. She gets all of my txt msgs but i dont get all of hers sometimes. Anyone know the problem?
Funny, I was just told by someone on Verizon that they didn't get my text tonight. It's happened before, and not with just this person.
I would think it's T-Mobile network-related and not an issue with the phone, though.
Same thing has been happening this weekend, I also have no been able to access the internet 95% of the time but I am guessing tmobile is doing some network maintenance or something since I am not the only some friends are having problems with the internet/texts.
I live in dallas, texas btw.
Yeah, I am having problems with receiving texts. A couple of times I have gotten a batch of texts at the exact time in the middle of the night. No idea if it's the other phone or mine. (Btw this is only one other person/phone this has happened from, Blackberry.)
My text reception is wonky here in Los Angeles. My gf sent me 5 texts yesterday. I received 2 this morning, and the other 3 are still in limbo.
I get this too, got it on my G1 as well, so I take all my texts through my google voice number now. The weird thing is, unless all my friends are systematically lying to drive me insane, I am still not getting every text.
had that issue all day yesterday. I just got 8 messages this morning, that i missed from yesterday. I thought it was just the rom i was running.
Same issue in Boise, Idaho. Kind of funny because a bunch of texting I did yesterday with some friends didn't go through and then at 5:30 this morning they got a bunch of texts from me and I got all the ones they sent...
T-mobile is having issues I am thinking lol
My girlfriend has been having the same problem but it's been happening ever since we bought the phone in July. There would be times of the day where she couldn't send/receive messages and then hours/days later receive batches of messages (sometimes up to 30 in a matter of 5 minutes) from previous days.
She'll also receive a voicemail alert without the phone even ringing atleast twice a day even with full reception.
Just hoping the update will correct these problems because we really do like this phone
+1 on issue. I'm not getting some texts from a tmobile blackberry. Another thing, this happened only once so far but one text I received it duplicated 5 times.
I've been having this same problem with my girlfriend.I'm in Canada I'm on the bell network and she's on rogers. Its not only this phone though it did this when I had my iphone aswell. I'm thinking its more a network issue than a device issue. She has an iphone 4, and it did the same thing previously when she had her iphone 3g.

Kinda off topic, I got text from people today but the text was repeated like 10 times for the same text. Happened with two different people...very weird.
We might be on to something, people!

[Q] Nexus S randomly stopped sending texts (CM7)

Hey there xda people.
Couple days ago (the 15th) I rooted and loaded up CM7 nightly build for that day. Been great so far, but literally 10 minutes ago (3:11AM eastern time) my phone just stopped sending texts. No matter what I do, texts simply won't work to any number. Did a reboot, power off/pull battery, nothing's working.
Anybody know what the hell went wrong? I can't call my carrier at 3AM and I'm switching over to night shift....any help would be nice.
Edit: It says that it can send MMS but my friend never got it. I can't receive text or make calls. Full signal strength is reported. Data works absolutely fine.
To be honest it sounds like a carrier problem.

Sounds like the same issue I had when I attempted Sprint+Google Voice integration. Have you tried that recently?
Your smsc number was accidentally deleted?
Phew, looks like it was a carrier issue. Apparently SMS servers got backed up for a couple hours.
Crisis averted. I was freaking out - thought it was my rooting/modding that did it

[Q] N4 loses ability to receive calls or SMS, data continues to work fine

Hey guys,
Just want to see if anyone else has noticed an issue that has happened to me a couple times. My n4 "loses" its network connection for both received calls and sms.
Status bars indicate a good signal (no hollow triangle) and data works fine during these events. I first noticed when my neighbor came by telling me he sent me a couple messages which I never received although I had been playing with the phone all day.
After rebooting I received many sms and voicemail message indications.
The scary part is there is no way to know when it's happening. There is no indication of lost signal and data service continues to works fine - all calls just go straight to VM and no SMS or VM notifications are delivered.
Any ideas? should I return/exchange it? Thanks for any help.
here's me:
network is Tmo (happened in 2 different cities)
network status bars indicate good signal
data service continues to work ok (3g/4g)
stock, not rooted, phone is only 3 weeks old
still on 4.2.1
I've had this happen to me once don't know why though.

At first I suspected the light flow app because this happened right after installing the app. I thought maybe the app was messing with the notifications so I uninstalled it - but then problem happened again. Also, many people are using the app with no issues so i suspect my phones radio is at fault.
I think I'll RMA it. Thanks!
Crap, i just left Sprint after 11 years of service with them for the exact same reason. Started mid December and by mid Jan and several Network Trouble tickets they had no clue how to fix it and blamed it on network congestion. End of Jan i officially ported to TMO.. Hope this doesnt happen to me again..
I started a thread with similar problems, but I also loose data connection. I get a message on the notification bar about it.
In my case it only happens if I turn wifi on and leave HSPA running, so I have to switch to 2g only for the problem to disappear.
Called Tmobile and they have no clue what is causing the problem.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've used tmo for years and never had this problem before - only with the nexus 4 the last couple weeks. If this type of issue was more wide spread I think there would be more people complaining about missed calls/txt.
It sure makes me paranoid though. I am now calling my phone a couple times per day (from my work phone) and sending myself SMS messages just to be sure my phone is working.
I just updated to 4.2.2 so maybe that will help. If it happens again I'll exchange it.

What type of notification do you get? In my case there is no notificaion, the only way to tell if its happening is to place a test call or sms from another phone.
I do notice it occurs after heavy HSPA use but I havent been able to duplicate the problem. It's almost as if after heavy use of an HSPA channel the MSC location update is purged - so all calls go straight to voice mail and sms messages are queded in the SMSC (just a guess). Then after flight mode toggle or reboot location update occurs and all is good.
It happened again yesterday so I've gone ahead an ordered a replacement.
I get a triangle notice in the notification bar. And I narrow my problem with my location.
Did you ordered a new phone?

Which baseband are you on?
I was on the latest 4.2.2 update with the old .33 baseband and I couldn't make or receive calls. To be more specific, my phone was mute as the call was going through. I could not hear the ringing tone. So I flashed the new .48 baseband and it worked.
Well, what I experience sometimes is:
When I leave a WiFi connection, the phone (sometimes) wouldn't reconnect to mobile data (I can only receive calls atm). In order to reconnect it, I have to toggle airplane mode.
Kinda the opposite, but maybe the same solution can be proposed?
My temp solution is to switch to 2g only and turn on wifi. That seems to do the trick
As for baseband I'm rooted with stock rom 4.2.2 and CMW recovery

Ok I got off the phone with customers support and they're aware of the problems.
They're replacing the phone. So I guess I got to return the phone to stock

I have the exact same issue....
This is really annoying cause you don't know when people sends you message
It first happened to me with 4.2.2 and. 48 radio

message fails to send

i've noticed that i sometimes get message failed to send message. this happens maybe 5 times a day i've had it far worse maybe 10 times in one day. I never had this problem on my galaxy s4 so i'm wondering if this is a SIM card problem? i am using the sim that came pre-installed too. I haven't moved out of the area im still using my phone in the same places as i usually do commuting to school and work. Has anyone had a problem with their message not sending? it's annoying
I have seen this with a number of our phones on WiFi over the years. Mostly with attachments, but not always. Normally if I turn off WiFi it will send. I have no idea what causes this bit we are a 6 phone house , 2 carriers, all different phone's. The only one that I have never seen do it us my wife's HTC. My old Nexus did it a lot. This phone, my g2 has done it a couple times with mms.

Same issue here. With regular texts. Several times a day. I end up restarting the phone and then it sends. Extremely annoying and it's only happening on this phone. Thought it might be a defective phone, but seeing you have the issue as well... maybe it's software related?

In my experience, it seems like it happens most often when I get a message as I'm sending one.

Silent calls problem - uk note 4

Has anyone else experienced this problem.
I've had my note 4 for 3 days. The strange part is that sometimes.. (Not all times) my phone rings and when I answer it can hear nothing and the other party can hear nothing.
I've put it down to weak signal buy my note 3 handles the signal perfectly.. Nothing at all wrong with it.
By weak signal mean 1-2bars 3g signal.
I reboot my phone and all seems to be fine..
My brother has also experienced ghost rings where the phone rings but isn't actually ringing if that makes sense..
Looking for advice really on wether I should send it back on warrenty?

I had the same last week. Rebooted and all has been fine so far
I had this too - it was with incoming calls and outgoing calls.. Just pure silence - could not even hear the phone dialling or the ring tone through the earpiece..
Reboot fixed it and hasn't occured since.. If it re-occurs though i may take it in for replacement.

Yeah i rebooted and worked fine afterwards, though i dont ring alot of people, not sure if its completely gone or not.. time will tell i suppose..
never had that problem on any device ive previously owned.. id say i miss my note 3 but not with this powerhouse in my pocket lol..
thanks guys!
Yeah I am getting this as well, a reboot does fix it but then the problem reappears. Its a bit annoying! I have had to reboot 3 times in the last 2 weeks. I initially thought it was a BT issue but apparently not!
What networks you guys on?
Same thing is happening to me
I have a SM-910H. bought last week. I planned to keep it stock for a while for this very reason, the possibility that I've got a lemon.
I almost never call, but sometimes it's just silent. The receiving end rings and when picked up, silence as well. Sometimes it just takes like 5 seconds, then the call starts working. When people call me it's the same thing.. the phone rings, caller id works fine., but then I pick up and.... silence... Neither me nor the people who are on the other side can hear anything.
I've rebooted and battery pulled.. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I did a factory reset yesterday just to see.. Same problems.
This morning it started working perfectly, no lag between pressing the call button and hearing the phone ring (like a phone is supposed to work). And then it stopped working again. Took it to the store and it worked fine
It's really frustrating because everything else is working perfectly fine, WiFi, mobile data, sound, voice, everything. Except for the dialer.
I'm going to exchange it for a new one.
Same problem with mine. A reboot fixes the problem, but it will reappear after a few hours or a day or two.

Try turning off VoLTE. Some people have issues with it enabled and it may not be working properly in your area.
Sorry forgot about this thread.. erm I bought my phone on tesco UK. But use my 3 sum card in it.. never had a problem since my initial complaint..
Well at least with voice calls..
I did however have serious lock ups with my device which after the update I got yesterday seem to of been totally eliminated.
So happy days for me hopefully..
Looking forward to seing Android Lollipop on the note 4 in january
