Airvana and text messages - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anybody else have issues with text messages showing an hour behind while connected to the airvana? Kind of annoying having to keep scrolling up to the top to read incoming texts! Guess I gotta make another call to sprint!......i tried to reset the unit but it did not fix it... If I get a text when im not connected to it the time is correct....

I am having the same issue. Stupid daylight savings time and badly designed technology. Let me know if you figure out a solution.

I know, Im having the same exact problem and its super irritating. So if someone finds out what is wrong please let me know!

Have you tried SMS Time Fix? It is free in the market and works for me since all of my texts usually have the time 1 hour too fast. I have an Airvana, but haven't noticed this issue since I have the Time Fix

it is a (now) known issue with the airave team. just received a call telling me so

Auto Text Sender

Is there a program that let you send the same text Automatically Daily to a person without you actually having to type it.
i had searched for software like that but to no avail.... but my phone does that automatically, and the only way i will be able to fix it is to flash [sic]me[sic] phone.... "my phone sends the SAME text message to my girlfriend all the time... after some troubleshooting, figured out it only does this when I open Text or E-mail (tmail.exe) - the signal quickly changes from Ev to 1x almost instantly after opening tmail.exe... currently I just leave it running in the BG, (not much time to flash) there have been days where she will get the same "Ill call you in a bit" message 8 or more times... There is also an issue where I will soft reset the phone and sometimes it will send a random text to someone I had texted earlier that day or even the day before." it is a wierd issue... ba-a-ad software issue. wonder how many people have experienced that

you could just hard reset your phone...
or take it to your carrier and tell them what is happening
There is a program that is a powerful text message program
There are these two guys that specialize in text message software. They have software called Auto Text Sender that can be found at www.autotextsender.com
They also have this software called Auto Text Mailer that can be found at www.autotextmailer.com

I've had the same problem, with people getting random texts from me. I don't have T-Mobile though..

wrong time in threaded messages?

i really appreciate the threaded messages in android phones but i have a strange experience with it once in a while. When you text back and forth you get all these messages in like a chat form following the order of the conversation but sometimes i would all get my messages in a cluster while the response of my friend would be thrown somewhere in the beginning or at the end. I have no problem with sending and receiving but they sometimes don't come in the right order. I don't know if i have explained myself well or if you guys can see my problem. Anyway if anyone has the same experience and a solution i would really appreciate that. Thanks
I don't text that much but I noticed if I receive a reply the same minute I sent the text the order will be messed up. Haven't found nor looked for a solution yet, doesn't happen that often to bother me.
i got the same problem... but no solution

[Q] SMS / Text Message Timestamp Incorrect

Hi Guys - i've posted this in the HD7 specific forum too - please let me know if multiple posts is frowned upon and i'll delete it.
Anyway...
I've been searching and searching and I cant find anyone with the same problem as me, on WP7 or HD7. Basically the times are completely wack on the text messages i receive. The could be a few hours behind, or usually entire days behind, and my personal favorite, from the future.
No idea what's going on. Everything seems fine in the settings - been over them 100 times. I've seen it as being a common issue with some older phones, but nothing on the latest ones.
Has anyone had this? Or even better, does anyone know how to fix it? The text messages that I send are stamped correctly, so it's just the ones i receive. It looks like the phone is using the time sent from the carrier, and then applying some wacky timezone to it based off my timezone (which is Auckland, New Zealand).
Help!
I have this exact same problem.
My outgoing texts display the time correctly but incomg is off by something like 5 hours. I've searched the forums and google and haven't found anything myself.
Answer from Microsoft:
Time stamps for Text messages are encoded and sent from the carriers MMSC message system. If the time stamp is showing up wrong, that is because it is being encoded wrong from the carriers network. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done device side, you'll want to focus your attention on Rogers in this case.
I suppose other phones possibly counter this by just making the receive time the timestamp as well.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com...7/thread/bf92da2a-5bcc-4af9-bb6a-79ce98d74406
I've never had such an extreme case with a five hour time difference, but it does happen with some incoming texts.
I remember I sent my sis a text at 1:43pm and she replied and the timestamp said 1:38pm. So maybe it depends on the person your texting and how their time is set up?
Well that's a pain. I read that reply from Microsoft too, but it's pretty unhelpful. To be honest using the date stamp from the carrier seems like a poor decision, or at least not having the option to chose, as far as the user is concerned the only date / time they care about is the one on their device.
I guess i'll have to wait and see if someone comes up with a way to change this on the phones, I see there is a way to do it on the WP6 phones.

[Q] Corruption causing text messages to not be sent/received?

Backstory: last 3 weeks, I've noticed that some text messages I've been sending haven't been going through (without the "resend" notification), and haven't been receiving some of them as well. About 3-5 texts a week that I don't get and about the same amount that people don't get from me so not a big deal, just annoying.
Just got off the phone with Tech Support at T-MO. Went up to the 3rd level, via flow chart the tech support person determined that some app or software I'm running is causing a corruption that's messing up my mms/sms.
I've been running ILWT for quite sometime as my stable rom, but have switched between virtuous quattro ICS, HTCClay's Rom, CM7 RC's over that period of time. Each time doing a superwipe as well as the clockworkmod wipe. The problem hasn't gone away or changed with the different roms, and it's getting frustrating.
Automatically, T-mo attributes this to rooting my device, and I could care less if they replace my phone.
Has anyone had this problem before? If so, did/how did you solve it?
Temporary fix for anyone having this problem. In handcent, turn on both delivery reports and handcent delivery reports. When your text sends successfully, a green dot with a check mark in it appears next to it, if it doesn't a yellow dot appears. At least you'll know when your messages aren't really going through.
Might be a long shot.. but have you tried to take a log cat during the time that it happens? start log cat, send it a text, and send a text, may be tedious though since you'll have to repeat till you get that rare chance that it happens... What are you doing when you don't receive the text? Have you tried Ghostly SMS?
I have this same issue. It usually happens to me when I am in an area with low signal. I have learned to live with it.
T-Mobile customer service has become fairly unhelpful lately. It usually takes me a few calls to get what I need (last time they did not have my phone registered on the network for data access, though it is in my plan, and it took me 4 calls to get that straightened out.) I would not expect much from them.
Have you noticed the messages do not send when you are in a specific area or signal strength?
Naturally, now that I spent 2 days trying to logcat it, I haven't had the failure. Called t-mo yesterday and got my upgrade pushed up a month because of all my problems. Getting a Galaxy S2 on tuesday.

I have also noticed that if my battery is low and I am in a fringe area this happens to me, the message will show draft and when I charge and am in a better area it sends with no problem.

It may be memory related. As mentioned, Ghostly SMS is helpfull to fix this for recieving message. But for sending message I don't have any idea.. just to enable confirmation messages

Disappearing text messages

I've noticed an issue on my Galaxy Nexus (Stock Rooted 4.0.4, VZW) where randomly a text message will disappear.
I don't have any idea what is causing it and its so sporadic, it happens maybe once every 1,000 texts.
The only way I know I'm even missing a text is if I see it appear in the notification bar but not be there when I go into the messaging app (Using stock messaging) or, because I have mightytext installed, I'll see the message forwarded to my browser but I'll notice its gone from my phone.
I was able to pull a logcat after it happened most recently, so if someone thinks they would be able to decipher some information from it, let me know.
I'm posting because I'm wondering if I'm the only one seeing this issue or if others are in the same boat.
Thanks in advance and let me know if anyone would like some more info...I've been trying to nail this thing down for months now.
You're welcome to put it up on pastebin or something and post it, but I would first eliminate MightyText as the first possible problem. Uninstall it and see if it still happens.
I had the same problem when still on 4.0.2 stock, unrooted. Only ever used the stock messaging app. It happened very sporadic, with the same symptoms you described.
Messages popped up in notification bar but could be nowhere to be found in messages app.
Since upgrading to 4.0.4 it never happened again, or at least I didn't notice.
As you are on 4.0.4 already, that's probably not comforting.

Yeah, it happens so infrequently that I'm not surprised you haven't noticed it since updating, but nice to know someone else has the same issue.
Do you have mighytext installed or can we rule that out as a culprit?
Do you have any SMS Backup applications installed?
If not, I recommend the "SMS Backup +" by Jan Berkel.
Works amazing on my ICS.
Does backups of SMS, MMS and Call Logs (if you want.)
Yes, I do have that installed, but thats not really relevant to the issue I described here.
Thanks.

Sorry - I realized I never finished my train of thought. Got "distracted" as someone walked into my office.
To continue, when your texts disappear from your phone, do they also disappear from your Gmail SMS label?
As per every 1000 texts - I assume you get a TON of texts per day?
I ask - because my cousin who is a promoter also gets/sends 1000's of text messages a week, and he made a funny comment yesterday about how some of his incoming texts "vanished."
He doesn't have SMS Backup+, so I couldn't verify it for him at the time. I'm wondering if you and him have the same problems?
Regards,
var
I also have SMS Backup + installed, but not Mighty text. When a disappearing text arrived, it never even had a time to kick in, even though I'm on wifi and it's said to backup upon arrival. The text is just gone, right after the notification vanishes.
But hard to investigate as it happens really very sporadic... And yup, I get hundreds of messages each day in a developing country, where sometimes also sms are not delivered, so everybody knows and it's not that big of a problem.
