Extremely Wierd SMS issue

Hi, I am currently experiencing a wierd SMS issue on my Desire running Robo's HD rom 0.13. Lets point out first that my sms is fine, I can send and receive texts perfectly. Except for one contact.
Me and my girlfriend text a lot, and I believe my phone doesn't want me to. Whenever I text her, she texts back, and I go to text her back,it says message not sent. However, if I delete the thread (with two messages in) and create new message,it sends fine. Baring in mind we exchange around 100sms per day, I am having to delete the thread and create a new text message just to get one through, which is getting quite annoying. I shall just stress this is the only contact out of the 25-30 people I text regularly who I am having this problem with. The things I have tried are:
Deleting and creating new contact
Changing her number to various formats (+44, 44, 07 etc)
Reboots (many of them)
Changing her contact name
Different sms apps (chomp, stock, handcent)
Nothing has worked, and the problem still remains. I would really like this sorted, as it is getting quite annoying. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yep, forgot to mention have used both 5.09.05.30 and 5.10.05.30 with the same results. She has no problem texting me (hero with cm 6 froyo), nor does her friend texting her (stock 2.2 desire)

Well, I'm experiencing it sometimes as well on my phone, but not as frequent as you are describing here.
I had this issue once with a Sony Ericson. It dissapeared when changing carrier and sim. Maybe you can try a "pay as you go" sim card for one day?

[Q] Not Receiving Texts

I know there are several topics on the same issue, but mine seems to be a little more unique. I am running a rooted evo on myn's warm 2.2 rls 5. I have updated my PRL and Profile umpteen times. I am unable to receive ANY text messages until I make a phone call or check my voicemail, at which time they all come flooding in at once. I have had sprint reset my phone once which solved the problem temporarily for a few hours, and it is now back. This is the most frustrating issue for me, as I text quite a bit. I can send absolutely no problems to verizion, AT&T and sprint users alike and they receive fine, where I do not get their reply. Is there any advice, this came randomly out of the blue yesterday and has been boggling me since. I am on a fresh wipe (Caulkins wipe all, fresh install). I connect fine and downloaded 28 apps from the market no problem on the network and also get 4G. I am boggled.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and I can provide more information if needed.

does this happen on the stock rom as well?

Yes. I RUU'd back to all stock, unrooted as well w/ S-On. The problem is now less unique to me. Several other people in the same area are having the same exact problem, having to call their voicemail to get the text messages, then having them stop when the phone call is hung up. I am receiving a repalcement Evo this afternoon hopefully.

[Q] Receiving 9114 texts? Hmmm?

So, since I flashed to a new ROM I have be getting a copious amount (about 40 a day) of texts from a 9114 number.
I'm assuming this has something to do with Sprint trying to send information to one of it's Stock Apps, because while using the Sprint Lovers ROM for a few days I didn't receive them at all.
Anybody know how to fix this problem, perhaps which stock Sprint Apps I need to install?
Also, I'm using CM7.

That is really strange
is that just recent?
where you located at?

You shouldn't have to install any apps. I don't know of anything that communicates over text message. If possible, backup your stuff and do a fresh install of cm7 because that shouldn't be happening.

Make sure you haven't accidentally signed up from one of those scam apps for a service that charges you a dollar a text message. What are the contents of the messages?

Here's what I found on Sprint Users regarding the 9114 text messages:
Hate to bring this back from the dead but I actually know why this is happening. It's a problem with Sprint Mobile email application that comes with most phones. It's actually quite helpful since it will allow you to get push email (ie instant email or blackberry like email) straight to your phone. The problem is if you uninstall the program or stop using the program without resetting your email information on the server, it will keep sending the email (push) notification in the form of the 9114 text message gibberish. I have the Touch and found out through trial an error and noticing that the texts come at the same time I kept getting emails.
A more decisive fix instead of just blocking the text message sender is by using the Sprint email program and re-enter your infomation for your previous email account. If you don't remember just start sending emails to your various email accounts (allow a few minutes between each) and wait to see if you get a text from 9114. When you find out which email it is, you should register with that same account again.
Once you have done that select re-register under the menu. Don't enter anything after that. It will clear your info off the server and now you can uninstall the email program AND you will stop getting the texts.
So in short, don't blame the gmail or yahoo, it's not their fault. The program is really to blame although it's a symptom of push email which is nice to have for free.

Thanks for the assistance guys, but I've since moved over to Sprint Lovers and it has stopped, very confusing. It appears whenever I use any ROMs that don't have the Stock Sprint Apps I receive the text message. Which is a really agitating problem considering I much enjoy AOSP roms in comparison...
I don't see anything that looks like Sprint Mail here...I was hoping once I switched over I simply just had to finagle that app and I coud move on 9114 free...hmmmm...

I'm sure they are referring to the stock "Email" app; probably isn't named "Sprint Mail". I think they are saying delete your email accounts in your Sense rom, flash your AOSP ROM, and then set up your email accounts again. I haven't experienced this 9114 issue and I've went from Sense to AOSP.....kinda strange.

I haven't used the stock e-mail app though, I pretty much rooted and went to a different ROM the first day I got the phone. (I was coming from an Inspire 4G...which I miss terribly </3 )
Could it possibly have something to do with the Sprint Zone? Perhaps a "Welcome to Sprint, please set up your..." type of situation?

You got me stumped......I'm on an AOSP ROM with no Sprint apps installed and have never received a 9114 text. Weird, very weird.

I'm wondering if it could be caused by the person who had the phone number before I did...if so...I feel like I'm proverbially SOL.
I would really love to rock the new Deck ROM too

Try the Deck 1.0 (2.3.3).....very stable.

[Q] EVO Not receiving texts

I am a noob to posting but not new to reading this forum nor rooting.
I have an EVO 4G and just flashed AOKP build 33 with GAPPS 3-17.
I have Google Voice installed and have used it with no problems for almost a year now.
Just yesterday when I flashed AOKP build 33 my phone quit receiving text messages. I still receive them on my Google Voice account on my phone and on the computer.
GV is set to have my text messages go through my text client and my text client is set to the default messaging app.
I have tried flashing to recovery nandroids of previous Roms and states of Roms and that did not solve my problem.
I didn't see anyone at the AOKP thread who has had the same problem.
What can I do? Please help.
*apologies for posting this if there is a better place for it to go but after making it through all of the results on my searches about this with no solution I am extremely frustrated and need a solution.

Have you tried uninstalling GV to see if that solves the problem? My phone did the same thing for a while with google voice and I never understood why, but uninstalling GV took care of my issues. You will probably get the text messages a few hours to a few days late, or at least that is what happened to me

So do I need to do more than just uninstall and re-install the app? i.e. the whole thing with un-linking my number and voicemail and everything?

If you uninstall it, I def would suggest doing the full uninstall procedure,..the unlinking, etc.

Giving it a shot now. Thanks.
I'm worried though, without GV I will have no option for text messages.

How's that? What did I miss? You don't have a stock messaging app, or you don't have a sprint phone #?

no dice
I disabled my GV account and un-linked it from my number, restarted and still no incoming texts. Any other ideas?

Make sure somehow you have the latest radios and such maybe? Have someone text you again now that its all undone and see if the new message will go through. Like I said, even after disabling GV, it took 3 days for the lost texts to come through.

I've had someone texting me throughout the process to no avail. I am working on updating the profile and the PRI/PRL but have to load a sense ROM. Is that the same as the radios? Haven't really dealt with radios before.

Any towers being worked on in your area? I've had no incoming texts for 4 weeks now, due to a tower upgrade (LTE). The only way I could get a text was to make a phone call (typically called my voicemail when I wanted to check for texts). Supposedly this is done as of today...
Worth it for the LTE though!

Resolved
Thanks guys. I ended up just flashing a MikG ROM and it corrected what ever was wrong. Then flashed my AOKP ROM and we are back up and running. Still have no idea what it was.

I'm having same issues, ive been switching back and forth between ROMS to see if i can find one that works. I removed Google voice from my phone, and deactivated it online to see if that fix it. but not working still.
I still only get texts when i make a phone call.

Mik G worked for me as well

Those who are having the problem, are you restoring a backup of GV with data?
Remember, especially with Google apps, there are a lot of updated features for ICS and backups from Gingerbread will not work efficiently. It is best to start from scratch with these apps, especially seeing that Google voice pull most of its data from the cloud... no real need to restore data with it.

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.
