I've got a GS5 on Verizon in the NY area. My txt messaging is really broken. I don't get txt messages until the next day. When they come in I get 40 of them at 1 time.
Many times I receive the same text from the same person 10 times in a row although they sent it only once. Outgoing is hit or miss.
My phone is rooted. Is there something I may have accidentally turned off or froze? It's killing me.

This problem may be due to network issue.
You should ask your service provider/mobile operator to investigate the problem.

I seem to be getting pretty significant delay on my incoming SMS, with some messages taking up to 7-8 minutes to come in. I have an iPhone on ATT in one hand, and the Evo in the other, and I've been fast firing SMS to the Evo. I'll get maybe 1 in 3 texts right away, and the rest hang for minutes at a time. When I do get them, the time stamps look correct, and they thread correctly, but it's very concerning to not be getting them right away, or at least in the correct order. Any suggestions? I'm new to Sprint, never had this issue on ATT, or with my Nexus One.
i am experiencing the same problem.. any suggestions?
Is anyone having an issue where if they reply to someones text, the reply is listed chronologically before the previous message? I'm wondering if somehow the timestamps are getting messed up on my phone. It only happens sometimes, usually if I reply within 5-10 seconds.

I'm still experiencing this problem. Anyone else? </shameless_bump>
yes, here too, I see this today on 2 times, how can I fix this?!? please help!!!
It has happened to me also, however i noticed it is only with the default messaging app, so i use Handscent instead
this really annoys me
This has been happening to me ever since I had my Evo. I thought it would stop on the Epic, but it continues to happen. The only time I saw this problem dissipate was when I flashed a custom ROM to my evo. And it had the Stock SMS application on there.
Sprint really needs to fix this.
my theory is that if you reply to a message before the message registers as being "read," then the message will stay "unread" and remain the latest message while your response will go into the main list of messages.
if someone could edit how "unread" messages are checked and changed to "read," then this may solve our issue.
it only seems to happen to me when i reply within the same minute. if i get a text at 1:21 and reply at 1:22, im fine. if i get a text at 1:21 and reply and send it in the same minute, it seems to put my reply before their initial text. i dont think its reading the seconds on the time stamp.
Same here.
I can confirm that this happens on three epics

I went through 3 epics before i got one that is good for me, and let me tell you ALL of them had this issue.
I was having this issue... then I noticed it only happened while roaming.
I believe it may have to do with the sms time zone not being correctly handled by the roaming network.
i get perfect bars at my house (no roaming) and it happens to me there. i dont think it has to do with roaming.
I think the issue lies when texts are sent and received at the same minute, perhaps its not recording the seconds which is placing them out of order? It happenes to me when my friend with an epic sends me multiple texts in a row and it also happens to his phone as well.

It happens to me too. I was texting someone around 1pm today and the time stamp said 7:23 pm. I noticed it happened more frequently when I allowed my phone to roam too

bump..no fix for this?
Happens to me too. It use to happen on my BB too so i don't necessarily think it's the phone.
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!
I just bought my EVO last week, and can't figure out why SMS messages are coming in as small chunks, in jumbled order. This isn't just splitting up at a 160char limit. I'll get the first 40 chars, then chars 80-140, then 41-79, then 141-160. etc
What is going on?
Never heard of that problem
Swyped From Eva Running Myn's RLS4!
Leave it to me to uncover a new error! Can't even find anything about this in a Google search.
I am occasionally having the same problem. I am using shadySMS so I thought it was related to that program. Are you using the stock messaging app?
No, I prefer Handcent but the stock messaging app does the same thing
The other thing that happens is that I wont get any texts for a while. And then all of sudden I will get multiple texts all at once. It's almost like the phone is not polling or connecting or whatever and then it connects and downloads everything. I wonder if this is related.

I don't think I'm having that problem. Texts seems to come in real-time. So maybe that is unrelated. Never know, though.
probably just spotty service during the Holidays.
I'm with Cricket (piggybacks off Sprint) in Raleigh and have been having some wonky SMS behavior as well.
I'm not sure how spotty service would cause texts to come in, in small batches. And a strong coincidence it began when I switched from a HTC Hero to HTC Evo
XDA, I am disappoint!
No one has heard of this problem?
Ok so now I'm not even getting text messages >160chars. I called sprint and they had me turn off the phone for 3 mins while they reset something on their end and still - I only get short texts.
Atrix - Alien Rom.
Apparently my phone is sending the same texts to some people over and over again.
My bill is already jacked up, any ideas to fix this?
This is a network level issue and not a phone issue if rebooting does not fix it.
You will have to conact your network
This issue has to do with the tower you're on. Sometimes shoddy tower signals can result in a mix up and your phone thinking a message insn't sent when it is. So it gets stuck in this loop of sending a message repeatedly. I would try turning your phone off, taking your SIM card out, booting up, turning off phone again and replacing SIM card.
edit: OH yeh and delete the sent messages before you do.
I hope you guys are correct because i remember having a problem with an old Motorola chocolate a white back which I purchased on ebay for my girl friend, I had to buy her a new phone from AT&T because the one I got her was spamming out text messages
I have had the reverse problem of recieving multiple (sometimes infinite) messages with my Atrix, i also believe its a tower problem. But I assure you, it is better to send than recieve.

Had this issue with sending a message to my sister. The problem is with the network the people you are sending to. Their network, (even if it's the same provider), is not sending message received data back to your phone. Call your provider and tell them. When this happened to me I made sure I wasn't being charged for the same international text message over and over. The constant repeat of sending the message will stop after 72 hours, as this is when the networks are set to cancel repeats for non delivery. I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T before they finally figured out the problem was network related.

I just had the same problem two days ago
When life sucks I just enjoy the head
I have the problem with incoming messages every few days. I use Go SMS and ill get one message over and over . Then no other incoming sms will come but outgoing will work. I usually find if I reboot with custom tethering APN on this will initiate the problem and also changing batterries from the BH6X to the BH5X seems to initiate it. Usually now pulling the battery and rebooting with the standard APN AT&T will fix the problem for me. Not sure if this is helpful but I was dealing with it a lot and I have had it happen once since the method above is used.
