Its an issue with sprint. There's a thread about it in General section. Apparently its not isolated to a certain area.

Timestamp Issue..perhaps the network.

I'm roaming 100% of the time since I moved, and there seems to be 2 different time stamps when I send/receive texts. Though I sucessfully can send/receive texts immediately. I've checked the Time-Zone and it is up to date to where I live now. (Stock App) and I've tried handcent, timestamp stays same as stock.
Example:
Me:Hey Dad, what's up?
7:15am, July 27
Dad:Busy working
9:15am, July 27
My phone is from Texas, so perhaps the roaming network is the cause? If so I guess there's no hope other than to rely on Handcent to un-stack the mountain of text message I get stacked and not threaded?

I'm not sure what causes it, but sms time fix on the market should fix your problem.

Roaming is the cause of this. Do as suggested and use Handcent or GO SMS to order texts as they appear and correct timestamps automatically.
The timestamp fix did it. Buuut! I like handcent now. LOL. >.<

[Q] Texting issue

Hi guys. For some reason, I cannot get a text message from my friend who is using textplus for texting. She can get my messages but I cannot get hers. She is using a HTC Vivid on ATT and can text/ receive texts from everyone else but me. I can also text everyone else and get their replies except hers.
Don't know if its an issue with my phone or her end.
I'm running Calkulins E4GT EL29 GB rom and using GoSMS pro for my texting app.
If you guys can help... much thanks!

Do u have Google voice installed? And have you tried the stock messaging app?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Guess textplus isn't playing nice with sprint...

CMAS on GS3?

Does anyone get CMAS messages? That's a question I want to know because whenever we get severe weather in ohio I never get any messages or anything through SMS? Can anyone confirm CMAS works through T-Mobile?
Its worked for me a few times.

Unable to send/receive texts after flashing Verizon radio.

Hey guys. I've been able to flash the Verizon prl's on my phone but have the same issue with them. They all work great (data is awesome) but I am unable to send or receive texts while roaming. I've played with the roaming settings but nothing works. I am able to get calls and make them. Any ideas?

Have you had any luck on this?

Sms issues?

Has Anybody been having issues with texts lately? It seems like my messages are not getting through. Maybe happens once every 10 messages.
Idk if it's my network or the rom but I think it might be the network.

I had similar problems with att settings on my phone and it was the APN settings that were off a little. Had http:/ instead of http:// for the mmsc and it wasn't downloading or sending. Not sure if you touched your APN settings but if you did double check them.
Has anyone had problems sending or receiving picture text messages? I can't receive them or send them... can someone help me.

I have problems sending and mostly receiving picture text messages using Handcent. I sent them an email. I think is how they set the APN.
Picture text messages work fine on stock message app.
Are you using stock message app? Check your APN settings for your carrier.
Note 3
no problems here with stock or gosms apps.
still running stock build, I'm on tmobile's network.
In my apt i don't get service, so the messages have the circle and are waiting to send. When i gain service it still won't send. A simple restart usually fixes for me and messages go through. Try clearing the data on messages app. Turn off phone take your sim out and put it back in and see what luck you get.

For me, 3rd party MMS apps only seem to send /receive messages after a reboot. Not sure what the problem is.

Gosms is not working for me.
Only SMS issue I have is when you open up a text from the lockscreen, you type in words and it doesn't show at all. Gotta exit out then go back into the text and it'll work.
I just started having MMS issues yesterday. I have tried uninstalling the update to Hangouts, clearing cache in the Messaging app and Hangouts, force stopping both, and clearing caches, reboots, toggling data, I can't seem to get an MMS to send or receive. Anyone else having this issue as of yesterday the 18th? It's driving me crazy!
From what I have seen this is a T-mobile problem as it has started happening with MANY phones.
I had this issue the other day. I ended up uninstalling the SMS app I was using which was Hancent and the issue went away.
I am currently using SMS Popup along with Chomp SMS and it appears to be working okay.
