Bad reception - Delayed text messages - Rooted phone the cause? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hello!
I have trouble with my One plus 6 t receiving text messages. I receive them a day late, all coming through at the same time in a bulk of messages the next day. I changed my sim card so T mobile doesn't seem to be the cause of it. Are these problems because I rooted my phone? If so what is the solution? Thank you!

My 6T is also rooted and at one point I has service issues (on Verizon) I tried all my mods one at a time till I figured out witch mod caused it and I was shocked to find out it was my substratum themes messing with something. Once removed all was grand. Hope this help. Go one by one through any mods in place disabling them see if it helps.

The problem is that I have a lot of apps...Did you disable them one by one? And also I realise that I receive the delayed messages 1 day after so it's not easy to check. So the problem comes from the fact that my phone is rooted? Also when I use the camera my phone closes sometimes, like 30 sec after...Very weird. Does all this come from the rooting? Never heard of this problem before.

Yes I did dilisabled one at a time and rebooted after each one. And for text delay who is your carrier I'm on Verizon and mine was delayed for a hour or so till I figured it out I'd quick text my self hi from my own number and hit home to close the messages app out so I could time the reply time.
This helped me also.

Are you using stock messenger or one from Play store?

Google messaging. I use the stock dialer and contacts I'd rather the Google but there all but the same better dark mode on the stock. Phone completely stock other then the unlocked bootloader and magisk 19.3

Try turning off battery Optimization See if that helps, Could be just a delay with your signal... Had that happen before, I had full signal but everything was delayed.

I have similar issue to receive delayed messages after the latest Open Beta 12. Stock message app on unrooted 6T.

Hello,
So the problem comes from the fact my phone is rooted? Yesterday it was impossible to take a video correctly for example my phone was shutting of every 30 seconds, and the mobile phone network bar disappeared, then came back and so on, like if I was losing the network every 30 seconds. I'll try to do a video of this

This is not normal. I've been rooted for months and do not have these problems. There is something else wrong

Just being rooted wouldn't be the issue. Sometimes it's honestly as simple as resetting your network settings. As for camera issues have you modified your camera in any way, possibly added a magisk module or something that isn't compatible with our phones, outdated modules can sometimes cause issues as well. It's hard to pinpoint but rooting isn't the issue as these phones were designed for rooting. It's something else entirely. You said your on T-Mobile, was it branded T-Mobile? They like to put their own bloated apps on phones that could probably cause issues too. This is why I went straight to the actual company. You get more up to date and their warranties better than tmobiles. Without knowing what's on your phone I can just speculate. But no just rooting and unlocking bootloader isn't causing this issue

I bought it from One plus directly, not T mobile. I resetted the network settings a lot of times and it still does the same thing. I noticed it happens more when several applications are opened, like when I watch a youtube video and do something at the same time. But even after closing youtube app and all my other apps, it does the same thing. On magisk I have: Busybox for Android, Energized protection, Google product sans, IOS 12.1 emoji, systemless hosts, viper4android, youtubevanced.

I've noticed that being on WiFi causes phone network issues (e.g., phone calls going straight to voicemail, text messages being delayed). This is with WiFi calling disabled, and a non-rooted phone. Really not sure what's going on here, especially because when it happens, my network signal is just fine. But if I disable WiFi, the delayed texts come in immediately. Super annoying.
This is on T-Mobile, latest beta (I think version 11).

It's in an overly annoying menu to find lol. Settings -> Wi-Fi and Internet -> SIM & Network -> SIM 1 (T-Mobile (for me)) -> then under Enhanced Communication you'll see "Wi-Fi Calling"

Mobile network greyed out

For some reason my 3g keeps disconnecting. In settings the mobile network option is greyed out, stuck on "turning on". The only thing that fixes it is a reboot.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
No one has any idea why this happens?
Is your phone stock?
it seems to just show that when the phone is idle, not updating, sending/receiving, etc. i have no way to prove this, just a theory.

I had that problem when I was running adrylalyne's Vanilla FrankenROM. It's the sole reason why I had to quit running it. It was a seriously annoying once-in-a-while thing at first but once I'd been running it for about 24 hours, it seemed to happen ALL THE TIME and got to the point where sometimes even a reboot wouldn't fix it. I haven't had it on any other ROM, though.
I was running the leaked radio (2.05?) when I had that ROM. Now that I've got 2.15, I've been thinking about giving it another shot.

No, the connection completely goes away. It's not just "I can't see the 3G symbol"... The phone actually has NO data connection and it seems impossible to get it to come back without a reboot.
2.15 radio fixed that for me. Using first leak Rom still.

in order to get rid of this, you'd need to find which file or which portion of that file controls the signal indicator on the phone, and replace it with an older version of that file, from before this "idle" indicator began.
maybe the google holds the answers you seek?

Good to know. I think I will try that FrankenROM again, then.
i'm unrooted and on stock OS, just got my incredible yesterday...so far i've noticed that it seems to just stay dormant, whenever i open an app that connects to the network, it automatically lights up the indicator and starts using the data, and it doesn't seem to prevent me from actually sending or receiving data, so i don't know how i would tell if it's actually no connection or just an "idle" indicator. how did you come to that conclusion?

What you see is normal. The 3G (or 1X) indicator only lights when the data connection is being used. The problem here is that there was no data connection. I would attempt to do anything that used the data connection and it would not connect. No email, no internet, no Nav, no nothing. The programs would all open, but could not download anything.
Agreed, that's sort of what I was implying, I was referring to the OP. so the connection issues are Rom based, not related with the gray indicators. Just because its gray doesn't mean you don't have connection. Clarifying for the next person who stumbles across this thread.

To the OP, this happened to me today using Sky Raider Sense 2.5.2. I also had to restart, so it's not only you that has the problem.

What he was talking about being greyed out is when you go into Menu> Settings> Wireless & Networks, the place where you check to turn Mobile networks on and off is greyed out with the text of "Turning on..." below.
well now i feel like a giant ass, lol!

Same thing happened to me over the weekend. I was in a tiny town in Texas that apparently had no 3g and I was unable to do anything that used the data connection. Reboot didn't work, neither did changing the Mobile Directory Number to all zeros when pressing ##program>NAM-General (as was suggested on a different forum which I cannot link to). What sucks is that it's highly unlikely I can duplicate this problem since there is probably good 3g coverage around the verizon store in the city where I live. I called verizon and the person said something about that area not having access to the data network, which I don't believe because when I was screwing with the settings under ##program I managed to get a text message. My wife's Samsung Vibrant (I know, different network) had no 3g but she was still able to access all apps that required the data network.
When my wife's Incredible was stock, this happened to her. It wouldn't connect to 3G. When going into settings and checking it out, "Mobile Network" was all grayed out. After LONG discussions with Verizon Tech Dept, 2 factory resets later, they found the problem to be on their end with the phone being "lost" on their system. They reset something (didn't tell me what) and bingo! her phone had 3G again.
I just had it happen to me. Reboot fixed it, but I'd like to know why its happening so I can tell my friends at VZW to look into it...
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Still happening to me. I told the tech that a bunch of people in the forums were saying it was a problem on their end, something about my phone needing to be removed from and then added back to the data plan, and they told me that they'd look into it. Eventually the 3g came back on its own like it always has when I have this problem, and the next day I got a text from verizon saying the issue had been fixed (which I doubt consisted of anything more than someone having the system send me a text saying the issue had been fixed). I've had this problem when my phone was stock, when I updated to the 2.05 baseband, and now that I've rooted and installed skyraider. Not exactly the experience I anticipated when I left the iphone 3g...
noticed another thing, idk if related...my gmail will "quit" working...meaning, it shows i have new emails inside the app, but they haven't pulled to my phone yet. the refresh button in the app, and the sync now button under accounts don't work, i had to do a nand wipe and restore a file from a day ago. i think it's app related, because it always seemed to happen after i updated some apps in the market, but one of the times (this last time) i didn't update the apps, i deleted them and it still happened. all other data and network connections work fine, only gmail. prolly not related, but thought i'd throw it out there

Just got this phone, two questions

So, I'm liking this phone so far, we switched from tmo and I went from a m8 to this. Two annoyances, first, is there any way at all to dim the soft button lights, only at night? OMG they were bright last night while laying in bed! From what I can find, it's either 100% or totally disabled. I don't mind them during the day, but not at night. That's just stupid to me.
And another, what I think is major annoyance that just happened. It seems Sprint pushed a bunch of apps down to my phone automatically! I went through all my apps to log in and do all the setup stuff and then rebooted my phone. Now all of a sudden, I've got music players, tv players, support chat, etc., all Sprint branded! WTF?!? Are they going to keep doing this? Is there a way to stop this?
And now another thing...
It turns out that I cannot send or receive picture messages while on wifi. Sprint doesn't seem to know why and is blaming my wifi connection. No, that's not it. It's not slow (100+mb), there are no connection limits, my wife can do this just fine on wifi, we could do it before, etc. WTF????
More info, just found that if I turn off WiFi Calling, things work fine. Never had this problem with tmo....
One last update on the mms issue. Looks like I can't send via wifi. I disabled mobile data and still have the problem. So, with Sprint or the S7 you can't send mms messages via wifi? What's up with that?
1. the lights can be shut off with an app called Galaxy Lights not sure they can be dimmed without root
2. Try package disabler pro you can disable all of those Sprint apps and they wont be in your app drawer
3. Not being able to send MMS is 100% the device, It has worked for me on every device Ive ever owned. Try a factory reset just in case something got botched on the intial set up.
Are you using hangouts to try and send mms? If so, try another messaging app.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Free mobile app
I like to use mysms as default messaging app, but MMS gets stuck when I use it for default app. I have to go back to stock messaging and it works just fine so something might be borked with 3rd party apps for MMS. Another problem is if you change from the default messaging app, notifications for unread text on the always on display stop working.
Try textra, it has an option for sending/receiving over WiFi, I'm not sure if it works with the always on feature.

1. Yeah, I don't want them off, just dimmed or maybe be able to turn off just at night automatically.
2. I'll look into that one. I'd rather remove them to free up space, but if that's not an option, then this is the next best best.
3. Ug, I literally spend most of the day yesterday configuring all my apps (signing in, settings, notifications, etc.); I really hate to reset and go through all that crap again.

I went to the store today and after an hour and a half of them trying to figure it out and Googling it, they came to conclusion that it cannot be done. Can anyone with an S7 confirm that they can send a picture message over wifi alone or with wifi calling enabled? I don't believe their claims.

Well after talking to Sprint again and Samsung, it looks like it's an issue with Google Messages and Hangouts. Using the Samsung texting app, things work as expected. I thought I checked that before, but obviously not.
Much (but not all) of the Sprint bloatware can be uninstalled, not just disabled. Look at them one by one in the Application manager.

Yeah, I've been able to disable or remove most of it. But there are still a few lingering apps that I can't do either on. Also, they seem to like to push apps down to my phone.

T-mobile and updated to B29 - Problems?

So I haven't updated my phone yet to B29 but looking at the ZTE forum there seems to be some connectivity issues with T-mobile and B29. Anyone of you guys who has updated and uses T-mobile that can verify this issue? Don't want to go through the whole update process and reinstalling everything if my phone is not going to work with the update.
Cheers!

If you have "OK Google" enabled from any screen, it messes with the microphone during calls. Disable that option in the Google app under settings, voice, OK Google. See if that helps.

There might be a software issue when you update. Try to format everything then reinstall it again.
Or you can disable OK Google service and live without it.

The only problem I have so far after the update is that whenever I turn the screen off, Facebook closes, and some other apps won't do background playback anymore like they could on B29

Enhanced Messaging not turning on

Hey all!
I purchased my Essential phone brand new from Sprint yesterday. I switched from an S7. I'm trying to use the default android messages app (what I used on my S7) and I tried to enable enhanced messaging to receive stuff via WiFi. I get horrible reception at my desk in my office, so texting over WiFi is super helpful. Well, when I go to turn on enhanced messaging in the app, It just clocks, and eventually says "Excuse the wait... messages will let you know when this step is complete." I click "Got It", then it proceeds to do nothing...
Has anyone else figured how to turn on enhanced features on this device? Sprint is my carrier.

Has happened to me on all my devices I've owned when starting from a clean slate. Just give it time. Check back and reinitiate if needed. Think it has something to do with the carrier side network refresh to see your device or something.

Sorry I can't be more help. Not sure of the technical side of things on what exactly causes it to know for sure and the fact that I'll just check it and it's done. Because of this, not always sure when exactly it went through either, just know that eventually it starts working and it's happened on my Essential and previous Nexus devices with Sprint, and that out of everything I'd try, time was the only thing that fixed it for me.
Hello I am experiencing the exact same issue with my new Essential phone through Sprint I purchased yesterday. Has your enhanced Features issue resolved itself yet? Any pointers? Sprint was absolutely no help.

Cant send SMS... Sometimes?

I'm hoping somebody has experienced this before and found a fix and can help me out...
All day I've been struggling to send SMS messages... I'm on 11.0.1.1, magisk rooted, with RICE installed. Everything was working great but today when i woke up, i was unable to send SMS messages...
I'm receiving them, but sometimes they are delayed and i get a few at a time with nothing coming in again for a short time after that, but i've made no changes to my phone in the last 2 days. I've rebooted a few times between then and now (twice yesterday, just because), so i cant really understand why i would just randomly be unable to send text messages or why they are received in bursts like this?
I've gone in and reset my "Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth" settings from within the reset options, and this appears to fix the issue, but only for a minute or so and suddenly they stop sending again... I thought maybe its the tower, so i used my daughters phone to text my wife and that worked perfectly fine. Immediately before and after, mine wouldnt send.
Any ideas, links, or guidance that might help me figure this out?
Since there's been some updates and no responses to my thread, i wanted to revisit this and see if i'm still the only one on earth with this issue.
The issue seemed to have completely gone away on its own, no idea why or how... But a couple weeks ago i decided to install the update to 11.0.2.2 on my IN11AA. Ever since, my phone will randomly stop receiving SMS messages completely. I can still send, just cant receive. The only way to fix this is to reboot.
Anyone else with this issue? Anyone find a reason for this? A fix perhaps?

Seeming this issue doesn't seem to be widespread, could be a carrier side issue?
It's a shame we don't have dual boot capabilities because you could have switched to stock and checked.
Also try a secondary SIM from maybe someone in your household and send using that SIM and see what happens.
I know there are delays after rebooting, I do a lot of magisk module work and every reboot try sending notifications using SMS or some other methods and I get around 3 mins no send or receive but not at the length you do.

I just had the issue again yesterday. Wife and I started texting eachother at about 8am, except, i didnt receive any of her messages until 5:30pm when she got home and told me she had been texting me. I rebooted 3 times, which once usually resolves the issue but not this time. I had to go into the settings and reset my WiFi/Mobile/Bluetooth settings, then it worked immediately.
Because of the solutions, i wouldnt think its a sim issue, but im going to test it anyway. I've factory reset a few times in the past and i still get the issue. I've had the issue while rooted and not rooted. Four of us have phones, 3 are Samsung and then there's mine, and mine's the only one with the issue.

What SMS app are you using? I wonder if you have enabled RCS messaging the new Google style messaging? Because maybe it uses WiFi to download some of the SMS, and if your carrier doesn't support it maybe you only receive it when you are on WiFi.
Try on WiFi then try just on mobile data and see if you notice.
I attached a photo check the top setting. Google might be persisting your setting (if you are using Google messages)
Also why don't you and your wife try a simnswap next time you happen and you are both at home, if your wife doesn't receive it then it's sim/network related.

I'm using Google Messages, and yes i do have RCS enabled. I dont believe thats the case though because the messages that are blocked are sometimes just an "ok" message. I'm almost always on WiFi though too.
The primary issue with sim swapping with my wife is that we would need to swap sims for up to 2 weeks since sometimes I have no issues for 2 weeks, then i get the issue once or twice a day for three days. The worst part (for me anyway) is that her screen is SHATTERED on her phone (she's using a Note10+) and its hard to see anything, so i've been trying to get her to get a new phone. I think we might be FINALLY upgrading her (after 5 months) to an S21 Ultra, so maybe we'll give that a shot there.
I'm actually wondering if it has something to do with messages for web. I've noticed that the issue only really happens after using that, but.. It doesnt always happen after using messages for web, so it might just be a coincidence.
I'm pretty sure its not Google Messages, or RCS, and fairly certain its not messages for web, because i used to use Signal only, and i still had the issue a few times.

When you say "ok" are you just sending short messages or the suggested replies by Google?
I had problems with auto reply in notifications for a while.
Tbh I just use telegram or signal becuase they don't require being connected to the device directly when using the web/desktop versions.
Yeah swapping for 2 weeks isn't great!
Interesting you had this issue with signal too, sounds like Google cloud messaging (needed for any app push notifications and messaging) is in a standby mode.
You got naptime or servicely installed? Shame no one else is seeing this issue might be easier to diagnose
