I'm using CyanogenMod 10.1.3 on my Sprint S4, and I cannot receive multipart text messages and it is driving me nuts. I always get the "1/2" or "1/3" notation and the first part of the message but then I never get the second or third part.
Has anyone else experienced this with this phone and ROM combo? This is with both the stock messaging app as well as Handcent. Not sure if it's the phone, the carrier, the ROM...or what. I've never even ran the stock ROM on this thing unfortunately so I don't have any experience to go on with that.
I've tried other messaging apps too with the same issue...really strange.

I've noticed that the issue seems to only be from certain carriers. I have several friends that are on Sprint and I can usually get mulitpart messages from them. I have a few people that always send me long messages from US Cellular and those always get cut off.
I've updates to new CM Nightly's, new SMS apps, put a stock rom on and updates PRLs etc...
I have no clue what is going on with this. Anyone else had this problem?

hi, ive been using super hero beta 2 and until yesterday i had no problems. but all of a sudden, every time i got a text, the most recent received message would be put before all of the messages i sent. so in the message thread, the received messages are in order but all together at the top of the thread. my sent messages are in order but all at the bottom of the thread. the messages arent in order of the conversation. its really annoying to always have to scroll up to find what someone has sent me.
i didnt think much of it because i figure a wipe would fix it. today, i wiped and installed the new jacman rom and am still having the same exact problem.
is anyone else having this problem? does anyone know how to fix it? thanks!
this has been an issue for a few people, if t-mobile is doing tower work in your area it will screw with stuff like timestamps(are those correct for both incoming and outgoing?) and order of messages
Are you using the stock messaging or chomp sms? I used to have this same problem with chomp, then I upgraded to JF 1.5 and didn't need chomp anymore. Stock messaging has never done this thus far, but I know how annoying it is.
My nstive messaging app is doing that! It was frustrating as hell I did a wipe, flashed a different Hero rom, and still. I downloaded Chomp it has no issues....its the message app that is doing it to me
I have never had this issue before (except a brief trial of chomp) and then 2 days ago it started happening to me from my gf's phone to mine. I have seen it on a Hero build, a Rogers build, Ion build, and now The Dudes Rogers build. Next step im going to check the clock on her phone and see if that may be part of the issue or something.
The only time I've ever seen this problem is when two texts are sent/received within the same minute, and they would be grouped similar to that. So, for example, if someone sends me two texts within a minute, and I reply twice to those messages, and they would group similar to the original poster.
Have we tried rebooting? Is this present across multiple SMS threads? Using simple stock firmware/messaging app, or even going as far as installing a new messanging app amd seeing those results?
In all honesty, Hero is no where near perfect right now and probably won't be for a long while. It was never meant to go on the G1 so we can't expect perfect results just yet. Try using a different ROM, and see what results you get.
What I think you might want to try first, however, is to not use network provided values for the clock. Try using the phone's clock values. You can change this in Settings->Date and Time. Erase all threads, and chat away. Let me know the results.
@brandenk
I've been using TheDude's build for over 2 months now, and I've never experienced problems like this. If this is so common place across all these builds, have you seen the same results on a stock build?

My GF's G1 started having messages appear out of order a couple/few days ago as well. I'm in the Orlando area. I figured it's T-Mobile screwing with the configuration of their messaging servers as someone mentioned earlier. Hopefully it clears up soon.
Time fixes everything
the problem was happening with the stock messaging app. just appeared out of no where. it doesnt even happen on every conversation, it happens to the three or so i text most often. my time stamps in the messages are correct, the other person's messages usually have a pattern of being 4 exactly 4 hours behind, but some times they just get jumbled with random time stamps.
i tried the date & time thing then a restart and im still having the same problem..
Same thing keeps happening to me, I am on the Super Hero v2 build and it also happened to me on the v1 beta build.
I switched back to ION yesterday and it stopped...and switched back and it started instantly again...Coincidence ?
Everyone is saying it's happening on every build, but I have only experienced it on Hero.
More info
Apparently, as far as my GF has noticed, it is only happening with MY messages to her, not other contacts. I've got Sprint, she's obviously on T-Mobile. Anyone else notice if it's only from certain (non-T-Mobile) customers? I suspect it's a particular SMS exchange server screwing up the timestamps.
When I had this problem it was from a tmobile number(one of my faves) and a verizon number so I'm not sure that its carrier related
Anyone else having issues
When i get a message if it from a mobile phone then i only get it once..
But if it from t-mobile telling me my weekly allowence, or from my work that send systems problem auto via SMS i get them twice...
well wierd. only happened since i rooted it...
are you using other than stock sms messenger.. like Handcent?
If so.. you need to go into the stock messenger
and turn of notification!
and I think off the auto retrieve messages too.
yer i use handcent
but what i am trying to say -
If i have just handcent running - i get 2 message the same
if i have both handcent and stock running, i get 4 messages the same....
if i just have stock then i get 2 messages.....
I just seem to get 2 messages at the same time...
Somebody else must had had this problem?
ive been getting the same for the last few weeks. Only seems to double up from companies sending me texts like bank,tmobile Etc...not too bothered as it does not cost me anything...im using handcent and modaco custom rom....

Yup that is what is happening to me too.....
I am on t-mobile too. maybe it is them that is the problem..
i even decided to install offical rom which has now locked my phone so i think it is about time to move on to a different phone..
Same here but I am in Greece/Vodafone. All SMS received correctly, except alerts from bank accounts (from 3 different banks, so no specific bank's problem), which I receive twice. Pretty annoying. I use Modaco's ROM, waiting for Android 2.1...
Same here in Italy: I get twice the SMSs from Google Calendar notification service only.
+1. In Norway. And I am on VillainROM, so it doesn't have anything to do with ROMs either, obviously...
hi, Thailand got this problem too
i've got double sms from the operator and other system messages
even got this problem before my HERO was rooted :[
I:'m having the same problem and I think that it's a problem on the Handcent side. It only occurs when I get a text from someone using the email gateway for sms ([email protected]). It started for me after installing the latest update to Handcent. I'm also now getting Handcent notifications when I get a voicemail using Sprint VVM, this to started after the last update to Handcent, so I think that they have some work to do. I really love Handcent, but this is getting annoying, I've tried other SMS programs (ChompSMS), but they just don't do it for me. I guess the only to do no is wait to see if the developers fix the problems.
I'm new to Android, coming from the infamous (on these boards) iPhone, and I don't know what I did, but I keep receiving SMS messages with an incorrect time stamp. It's 9:45 and the messages are saying 10:30. This is during a back and forth convo. I googled it but I can't find a fix that doesn't involve messing up my calendar appts.
I'd prefer to avoid downloading a 3rd party texting app, as I like the default one- especially with Swype. Does anyone know a quick fix to this?

I can confirm this, it just happened to me.
anyone else?
Yeah happens to me from time to time, it's a Sprint network thing, not a device issue. It happens on my friends dumbphone as well.
Running latest nightly cm7 (5). With netarchy's latest kernel. Using handcent for text.
When sending text under 160 everything works great. Once going over causing a split, the recipients of my text gets gibberish. Scrambled letter and symbols. Is anyone else getting this? Both my phone and my brother's phone do the same thing, so I know you should get the same results if you use the same setup as me. My question is why and what can we do to fix it?
I have read about this before but not actually experienced it yet (no long texts). I am running CM7 on my ns4g. I heard the simple solution was to go into your sms settings and simply select to have the app split up your texts at 160 characters.
Oh - sorry - you are using handcent. forgot. I just use cm7 sms app. hmmm. not sure. handcent doesn't have the same option?
Handcent has those options. They don't do anything. I ran cm7 on my evo with handcent, never had this problem before. So I'm thinking its a phone specific problem.

Search is your friend
Its a CDMA issue. Have your texts split up into multiple txts at the 160 character count. There is even a setting in Handcent that says something about compatibly with CDMA

i have used both settings in handcent for splitting by character and by word at the 160 limit. neither of them seem to work. the recipient receives two texts but it's all gibberish. I never once had this problem on my evo which is cdma also. both phones ran CM and handcent. I've gone through each and every setting in handcent and CM to double check I wasn't missing something. regardless it should work without me changing a setting to allow long texts. It is something that needs to be fixed.
What i'm thinking the problem is, is a setting that was forgotten to change from the gsm phones in the sms settings.
I just installed Miui, using the stock sms app from that it still scrambles the texts over 160. It says it's sending two texts, but something is horribly wrong on the receiving end of the text. So i'm pretty sure it's not a problem with handcent settings. It's the fact that these roms are ported from the GSM NS and we're missing something yet.
I'm going to install a stock image after work today and confirm that it works on stock roms.
I'm very shocked no one else has complained about this. I have two NS4G phones both of which have the same symptoms.
Just confirmed that 160+ sms messages send fine from a stock os on the ns4g. using stock messaging or handcent.
Using CM or Miui is causing gibberish to come through. There seems to be a problem using non stock based roms at the moment.
That is interesting. I had the problem, but I resent the same exact text except I broke it into 2 smaller sms and it was received fine. I can't remember what rom that was though, because I've been through so many and havent heard of the issue since I setup the automatic split sms in handcent.
Hi, i installed the newest rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574
I just started noticing that i'm now getting MMS text from "1" and not the contact name because when i download the message either from goSMS or handcent or even the defaulted one messager, after the download, it then places it under the correct name/contact...all text messagers behaves the same way. i went to search throughout the forums but coming up empty (sorry if this has been brought up before).
If someone can point to the forums with the information that I lamely could not find or explain if it is a bug because the release notes or known bugs doesn't list this as an issue.

ditto. and i use goSMS as well
Did u try geting rid of your Mms app and using the stock one
get rid of MLS? sorry for not understanding that but what is this?
i have tried to use the stocked one (removed all handcent and go SMS apps) but still gets the "1" or duplicates where i see "1" and the receiver contact name with the same mms...but sometimes i don't.
i'm searching some more, does the APN selection make a difference? like if i go to Network Operator, i see preferred network selection...2 ATT (listed as AT&T and AT&T...nothing really indicates the difference from each other) and Tmobile.
im having the same issue..using gosms. i've used every cm releases for atrix there is and only now started having this issue with nightly 4. i'm using fauxs enhanced stock kernal now. jus switched from the 2.1 1.3oc last night on which i noticed the issue. will try out this enhanced stock n see if the issue happens with it.
I use GO SMS Pro as well - and I do NOT have this issue..... I dont know whats going wrong for you guys :/
GoSMS here and no problems!
I only have this problem if I click on the download button in the MMS. If the message auto-downloads then there is no problem. I've had this problem on other ROMS as well so I'm thinking this is a GoSMS issue.
If it were a GoSMS issue - we would all have it.... CaelanT and myself don't have this issue and we both use GoSMS......
i tried with the stock messanger too, and still got the same issue, i don't think it's the aps (handcent or goSMS). ahh it's so crazy!
GoSMS here and Homebrew ROM, FAUX 2.1 1.0 extended kernal and I am having the same issue, but only if it's an MMS message, not with regular texts. Once I click on D/L, another text comes in from the sender with whatever image was attached.
I too have the issue. I am on CM7 Not Beta and not Nightly, and am using Handcent. My wife, who is completely stock running 4.5.91 and not unlocked or rooted, running Handcent is also seeing this issue....
My son and I both use GoSms and he gets them , but I don't. Also I'm on CM7 and he is stock 4.5.91.
i am on CM7 and use handcent and i get this as well! very strange. not a big deal, just strange. the "1" message is always empty. If i go back out I see the MMS properly inside the proper thread.
