Incoming SMS Delay

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?

Google Voice not sending notifications

I use Google voice as my only phone number. Lately, whenever I get a text or a voicemail, it won't notify me. Even if I manually refresh, it still won't notify me. Background data is turned on and I have SMS messages turned off because I don't like getting 2 notifications. If I uninstall and reinstall it, it works fine for a time and then stops working again some time later. If I take out the battery and "hard" reboot, it will send all the messages that have been "hanging" to the phone again. Sometimes, I'll get texts/voicemails that are over a day old and I had no idea they were there.
This makes it where Google voice is pretty much useless to me, especially since I use it partially for work and if I'm missing voicemails, then I'm not servicing my students properly.
Any one else out there have this same problem?
I've had a similar situation with texts -- no notifications. I haven't received any voicemails recently, so I can't comment there. I was glad to be able to avoid having all texts to GV resent as texts to my phone, but I may have to do that, at least temporarily.

Texts not going through but no error

Does anybody else have problems with texts or calls just simply not being received with this phone? My gf and I have this phone, she is stock, I'm rooted. Her phone has always had problems with not receiving my texts, but I get no error messages. It is like I send them, my phone thinks they go through, but they just get lost on the way to her phone.
Both of our phones have also always had problems about calls just not coming through. It wouldn't matter who was calling, the call never show up on our phone. Her parents would call her, but her phone would show nothing. I have sat with my phone, called her when she was sitting next to me, and saw that her phone just acted like it wasn't getting a call.
Anyone else?

[Q] Note 3 not receiving phone calls.

Hello all, I've been a happy owner of a Note 3 32gb for Verizon for around 6 months now. The phone has been working great up until about 2-3 weeks ago and what its been doing in place has been quite strange. The phone REFUSES to receive phone calls, but its COMPLETELY random. Some days it will work just fine, others I will get reports from people that they called me 3-4 times, the phone rang all the way through, and I myself would never receive as much as a notification that I was even getting called. It's happening very consistently with my Girlfriend (We talk quite often, long distance relationship) and Its really beginning to get on both of our nerves. I've also had issues with text messaging, I'll receive messages from her DAYS after they have been sent (And I've already received them) and in some cases we've had texts come through that we didn't even send, at one point a text that I sent her, made it half way there, and the second half of the text was replaced with what appeared to be someone elses conversation. The phone works just fine for surfing the internet, tethering, etc, but when it comes to calls and texts it seems to be all messed up. I've tried resetting it, and I've checked my sim card, neither of which seem to be the issue. I'm currently located in Pensacola, FL, and am receiving decent service (2-3 bars most of the time on 4GLTE). Anyone have any idea what the issue could be or a way to resolve it? I was really looking forward to the Note 4, but if this is the kind of thing I can expect from Samsung I'll end up going else where with my money.

The problem can be from the mobile network or from your phone.
But it sounds most likely the problem is from the mobile network.
Put your SIM card into another phone for a few days to see if any problem.

Google assistant wont read texts.

So it all was working correctly until the other day. It was reading my texts via bluetooth headset as it's supposed to. It now just keeps reading the same 2 old deleted texts and that's it. Anyone else have this problem? I've only had the v20 for a few weeks and never had this issue on any other phone.
I use Google to read my messages from time to time.. it can be finicky.. most of the time it will read the new messages fine.. occasionally it will say I do not have any or just fail all together to hear what i'm saying..
but I did realize that Google will NOT read group messages.. which I hope they will get a fix for soon.. :-/
