weird thing I noticed on Verizon... battery saving mode somehow messed up the APN settings etc and won't let me get texts or mms when it's on. wonder what's up with that?
Sent from my Moto X Pure
I am on AT&T and the battery saving mode only effects MMS messages, not regular text. Are you sure it is effecting a regular text message on Verizon?

I'm in the UK on O2 and today I sent some SMS and just noticed the last few were stuck at "Sending" and had been that way for hours. I deleted them and tried again. Same problem, regardless of the recipient. So I toggled Airplane mode on/off. Still no luck. So I rebooted. Once the phone came up I got two notifications along the lines of "Unable to send message". I can now send OK.
Now perhaps this was my network playing up but I'd been receiving SMS fine - and making calls - all day. I've never seen this behaviour before and the fact a reboot cleared it makes me wonder if it's a bug with the messaging app.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Until today I'df been happily sending and receiving SMS with no issues since I got my N4 last Thursday.

I'm on AT&T here in the states and I send hundreds of texts a day and have not run into this problem at all. I had one delay with an MMS that sent about an hour after I had initially sent it but other than that, smooth sailing.

I ran into the same problem today. Rebooting your phone should get it back working. If not, enter your phone settings by dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Tap on Phone information and scroll down to SMSC:
Click on the Refresh button. You should see a number that looks like this: "+1206XXXX..."
This number is carrier specific.
Me too

Me too. Rebooting and updating smsc didn't help. I tried to undo my actions to the extent I could remember but to no avail. For instance, I had disabled various inbuilt services viz. Pinyin, Korean keyboard, cell broadcasting, exchange, email etc. Re-enabled. Zuk. I had uninstalled Contacts+, reinstalled. Again, nada.
But Contacts+ is able to send normal smss. That is definitely intriguing and I would love to figure it out. Can someone assist?
Well as the title says, I've been having issues receiving texts messages on the $30 prepaid plan.
What happens:
-I will randomly not receive a text message, or I will receive it days later(if I turn my phone on after being off all night), or I will receive a message that is one half the current message and one half an old message from days/weeks ago(the are intertwined).
-It happens complete sporadically, no rhyme or reason. It happens at my apartment, while I'm sitting at work, or at the gym. At my lowest signal level I will have 2 bar remaining of "3g" but it's usually around 3 (I'm in Pittsburgh).
What I've tried so far to fix it:
-I had T-mobile swap out for a new sim card.
-I've contacted T-mobile customer service twice. They've "refreshed" my connection to their network, reset my sim, played with my account, etc.
-I'm using Chomp SMS as my messaging app. The issues also occurred when using the stock messaging app.
-I've cleared the cache for both apps.
What I haven't tried and what you may need to know:
-I haven't played with the APN settings all. As far as I know all of those settings are set straight from/by T-mobile.
-I'm not rooted
-I've had this problem intermittently since buying the nexus4 from google in Nov.
-My original nexus 4(which I RMA'ed) also had the problem- looking back I just thought it was the other persons phone. Which makes me believe it's on T-mobiles end, or at least a tweak in an APN setting?
-Zero issues with call clarity, data speeds. All have been perfectly fine.
-It doesn't seem to matter which carrier the person who is sending me the message is on.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or has anyone else experienced similar issues? I'd like to hope that there's a simple fix that doesn't require me changing to ST and using AT&T but I guess if I have to... I have too. I'm at a complete loss as to what else I could try in order to fix this.
All help, tips, suggestions are welcome. Thank guys!

I have had this issue on and off with SMS messages and "Waiting Voice Mail" messages over the years (mostly on pre-smartphones and G1). All you can really do is reboot the phone often (at least once a day). I think it's related to messages sent while your phone has no service, but not 100% sure.
For 3 yrs with a half dozen smartphones I had texting issues with tmo and now on straight talk tmo it is the same thing.
It hasn't been as bad as you seem to have it but there do sometimes seem to be heavy delays.
Weird as it sounds, exactly what the thread title says: if enough time goes by (not sure how long, but definitely happens overnight) or I restart my phone (ZE551KL), text messages won't come through. At all. They don't come in late...they never come in.
Once I send a text (doesn't matter who I send it to), texts work just fine (for a while, at least). I really don't think it's a carrier thing (Cricket, an AT&T MVNO in the US). My APN settings are all good and test messages they've sent me (talking to tech support) have operated on the same pattern I described.
I've read of similar issues on various other phones and mostly on the T-Mobile network...the consensus seems to be the software. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
EDIT: Nuts, wrong section. Can a mod move this to Q&A/Troubleshooting? Thanks!
Turn off power saver and other Asus bloatware. Auto start manager add text and WhatsApp should fix it. Did for mine
In the past week, I have been getting my SMS/MMS on my N6P delayed anywhere between 5-30 mins .
In Textra - you can tell by sliding the messages to the left & seeing when it was sent & when you actually received it via timestamps for each text.
I've switched SIM cards (TMO), adjusted the APN settings from IP6 to IP4 and to both.
Rebooted.
Cleared Cached.
None of the other phones (mix of Android & iPhone) are afflicted with this issue.
Tested vs. Google Messenger & Hangouts & no problems there.
Anyone experiencing this also & do you have a resolution?
Looks like it's a Nougat bug that only the Carrier can fix - Semi-workaround is to toggle airplane mode on/off:

Hello everyone,
I hadnt noticed until now that when I compose an mom's, I can add a picture, but if I try to add another, it just replaces the 1st one. Is there not a way to send an mom's with multiple pics with stock OOS?
On another note, I noticed this a while back, but if I turn off my phone and then power it back on, it doesn't start checking email or has any kind of network connectivity until it is unlocked. Again, is this normal?

Yes, that's normal on Nougat with file based encryption.
Stock messaging app is garbage. It doesn't even support single-thread group messages. Download Android Messages (or your favorite texting app).
