Gf's S3 won't receive my texts anymore! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Her phone just stopped receiving my texts! She still gets texts from other ppl fine and when she sends me texts I receive them! First time this ever happened under these conditions.. Because I can also send texts fine to other ppl.. This is weird..
I told her to take her Sim and battery out for a half hour and it didn't help

My I9000 send smses on his own during power on HELP

Hi
I got the sgs gt I9000
A few frinds told me that I sent them smses more than once, after we finished owr chat.
For ex: I smsed my friend yesterday at 00:00 4 smses. The device turned off at 07:00 this morning, and sent them again to her wheb I turned it on.
I didn't find any connection between the time I sent the sms to the time it was turned off.
It's like the sms is still in the outbox, after it is already sent, and when I turn the device off/on it sends it again.
Anyone knows about this kind of a problem?
Its round 4 smses a day, it's round 120 a month, in $ it's an exra 20$ to the monthly bill...

Ok guys, I talked to my carrier. They checked stuff from their side, qnd all is good.
Also, o checked if the problem accure with my e71, and I don't experience the problem with it.
That means it something with my sgs.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

It might be the background MOSAD app playing up ;-D
If you use another app for sms try uninstalling it and check again...
Also check the last apps you installed before the problem appeared

Hi
I'm using the original app for sms, I like it a lot.
I uses Handcent, but thought it was the cause, so I uninatalled it.
I even uninstalled an app I used for popup sms.
All was b4 I wrote the post.
What I think ia left to do is reflash, and install app by app, to see what causes it. But it's a very long procedure.

Why do you turn your device off in the first place?

lolz. touche. also from the title the device definitely sounds possessed, but now I've gone off topic.
I change the batteries in my device once a day so I don't over-cycle/over-stress them, it happens to give the dual purpose of a reboot which is good for the phone. Turning the phone off has its places.
looks like the same poltergeist as mine, infact random clicks often sends sms or gtalks just a matter of luck

Anyone's phone not ringing?

Hey guy, I have the N4 for tmobile and I have had problems with people calling and not getting though it just sends them straight to voice mail and not pop up to notify me and not ring but when I call out the voicemail pop's up. Anyone having this problem?

I am having this issue as well. It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I think it happens mostly when I leave it alone for a bit.

Bump. Anyone else have this problem? Sometimes I don't get texts and calls go straight to voicemail, I have to restart my phone and that fixes it for a while. It happens randomly. Haven't figured out a pattern yet.
I have had this happen a couple times on both of my Nexus 4 devices.
I have had this happen in the morning. Not sure if it is carrier dependent. I am with Wind.
Yeah happend to me twice !
Same here, T-Mobile in Florida

I'm on T-Mo in VA and the latest CM10.1 nightly and it seems like my phone almost never rings. I am constantly getting "Missed call" notifications. And despite having Google Voice installed, the only messages I get are from the T-Mo VM. Weird....
This has been happening to my wifes Nexus 4 but not mine. It usually only happens in the mornings when the phone has been sitting for a while, after she restarts it, it seems to work fine. Does anyone know a fix for this???
This was happening to me a lot at first, I went to tmobile and got a new mini sim card b/c i cut my old one down and know it seems fine b/c im not waking up to voice mails and no miss calls.

Whatsapp issue

Hey guys, sometimes Whatsapp messages show up late. (ive noticed this happens only when screen off)
For example, when I unlock phone, after several minutes I get the Whatsapp notification, I go in, but message shows it was recieved 5-10-15 minutes ago.. Sometimes the clock shows when I want to reply..
No problems with screen on.
Any clue? Sync is on

It happens in both, wifi or Mobile data.. So service provider is dismissed..
I think there must be a config

Most of the time this is because the Servers cant handle the amount of messages being send via WhatsApp. So there is nothing you can really do about it.

This never happened with my s2, which I had until Saturday.. that's why I think is something with the N4 config
I noticed this past Saturday problems sending and receiving messages via Whatsapp, on both iPhone and Nexus 4, but not via stock MMS apps. So it appears that there was an issue on Whatsapp side.
I'm noticing the same thing on my nexus 4 and I'm pretty sure it's not caused by traffic load on the whatsapp servers. On my GSII, messages came through straight away when the phone was sleeping.
On my nexus 4, if the screen is off, messages don't come through until I turn the screen on.
It seems to me that Android 4.2 handles wakelocks differently to ensure the device sleeps without interruption. That's great for battery life, but seems to impairing the ability to receive IMs.

Exactly... It's annoying, since whatsapp is not catalogued as a battery drain or similar..

i still experience about 1-2 minutes delay in receiving messages
in any case big improvement

[Q] text messages over wifi on tmobile

I was wondering if you can send a receive text messages over wifi those that are meant for your phone number. I know i could use like aim or something. I ask because when i'm at home my service is very spotty if not even there most of the time and like to get my normal text msgs on a timely manner so is this possible on the nexus 4 thanks
I don't think so. Maybe over time hangouts will fix that.

Google Voice app uses data for SMS messages, just no MMS support.
Makes me kind of wish TMobile wifi Calling was available on the Nexus4 (had it on my G2/Desire-Z). And SMS/MMS did go over wifi when it was in use.
You can receive SMS from an email.
phone#@tmomail.net it is a workaround but not very intuitive.

Would be helpful and useful mostly i have only crappy service area at home, but when out and about its fine which is good just would like text msgs in timely manner when home ofcourse who wouldn't ;-\ . lmfao ah well what u get for living sorta outa service/ t-mobile crappy building penetration can't wait for 4g around this area. Though that should be awesome tho i love hspa+42 when i have it's quick, they just need it by my house and it will be golden lolz stupid booneys.
Thanks all for quick response in my conclusion lolz

Spam calls

Ever since I switched to att 2 months ago I have been getingvabout 20 spam calls a day.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
They been told to stop calling but now they call unknown caller and won't stop.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Try a call blocker.
Any idea what they are trying to do and what gender they are?, saying there phone number may help has well.

They are always random and ask about getting a loan
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Try true caller it gives us the info about the caller so you could know if it is a spammer or not.
Froid, you should contact AT&T first with this URL: http://localization.att.com/loc/con...pid=ecomm&RIAConsoleLogLevel=4000&address_id=
I remember my mum getting that call when it was clearly a mother with a few children (it was heard in the background) and my dad went to the phone to finish the call and they will not call again.
If AT&T does not help you at all try getting hard at them (of course not at AT&T) but if you don't like doing that then you may want to try contacting your local police.
Is it possible to give out there phone number so I can inspect it?
