[Q] SMS Problems - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the last month or so my SMS has not been working properly. My phone doesn't send or receive all of my text messages. I will be sitting next to a friend and watch them send me a text and I will never receive it. It isn't every single text but it happens too often and is quickly becoming a big deal. It has been happening for the past month or so, which coincidentally is when I started using q Sense 3.0 rom. I have no idea if this is what caused it though. I also have problems where when my phone turns off, whether I restart it or if it dies, and I turn it back on it sends random old texts to random people.
Any insights on either of these two problems would be greatly appreciated.

Well since you said it kinda started to coincide with when you put that ROM on... try a different ROM for a while and see if it starts to work or not. That would be the first thing I would try.

Annoying issue.

I have had to send my Leo back for repair due to white patches developing on the screen. As I had given my last device (an iPhone) to the missus, I have gone back to using my O2 Orbit until my HD2 is returned but I have just remembered why I stopped using it.
I have this really annoying issue where, after a random amount of time (could be hours, could be days), it simply won't accept incoming calls or texts, despite it seeming to have a full network signal. Outgoing calls work as normal but if you call the phone, it goes straight to voicemail and if you send a text message, it won't be received. However, as soon as I perform a soft reset the phone goes back to normal and any texts which were sent while it wasn't working get arrive. Then it eventually happens again. It doesn't seem to be a rom issue as I have had this problem with at least 5 cooked roms and the original O2 one.
Anyone have the same issue or is it, as I suspect, simply a case of the phone being shagged? I would love to get this resolved as at the moment I'm having to call it once an hour to make sure it rings which is a bit annoying.
im having the same issue but a small difference, i get this prob so frequently around 5~8 times a day...........
im jus suspicious on the battery.......
could u jus look at ur battery voltage when 100% charged and reply plz????
ive jus asked this same issue here

Resending Messages HELP

My new Touch Pro 2 has been giving me a problem since I got it, it's been resending messages to (as far as I know) everyone I've sent one to everytime I turn it off. The phone seems to hang pretty often and so I turn it off and back on (when it's not so bad that I have to do a battery pull). Everytime I turn my phone off and back on I get a message from about 4 different people saying "what?" because the phone seems to send some random message that I've sent to them before, but it's way out of place in the current conversation. I did a slight search on google and here and didn't see anything matching this, just about messages sending whenever, but mine doesn't seem to do that. Only when I turn the phone off and on.
Also, while I'm here, I also have a problem with a message not sent pop-up coming up pretty often, however, the message is sent. I just click ok and get out of it with no harm done, it just gets annoying sometimes. I don't know if that has anything to do with the phone also lagging a bit when I send a message and go to back out right away? I feel like I'm having a lot of issues with my TP2 and a lot of people aren't and are loving there's. I like the phone but it has these issues which are really turning me away Well, thanks for any help I can get here.
I may be jumping the gun by posting and not reading your entire message carefully because I find your post difficult to read. You should seriously try a custom ROM. Task29, flash radio, then flash ROM, then love it.

I'm guessing that when you send text messages you do it using contacts from the sim card, yes? Try copying them over to the phones' address book, then using those entries to text from, and see if that doesn't clear up the mystery message issue.
Says i have a message and i don't

JellyBean SMS problem

Hello all. I'm on Stock rooted jellybean and I have been getting this annoying little pop up that stops me from sending any texts unless I click allow after every text, I have noticed it happens when I'm texting 3-4 people at once. I also have noticed that a reboot see to get rid of the message for a while then it starts to happen again. So I was wondering if anyone knows how to permanently get rid of the pop up. I haven't had the time to decompile anything and look but any help would be appreciated. Attached is a picture of the pop up.
You might have too much of a life. Try lessening the amount of life you have and see if it resolves the issue. Until then, ignore your phone errors, because you've got plenty of life to attend to.
Seriously, it's always nice to see errors being reported, because you never know when you will be that person with the error nobody's heard of. Thankfully I haven't had this problem yet, and I've been very active on my phone, as I'm out of town for the good portion of this month. (Verizon has already warned me about data.. :crying
I have the same problem. I went through all the options, didn't find anything >_< its really bugging me right now, I might switch to MIUI because of this

Weird problems sending or receiving texts...

I've been having issues where people would sometimes not receive my texts, or that they would receive it only after an unusually long delay. Someone also tried to send me a long text today, but I only got the tail end of it. It doesn't happen often, I've had a few long text sessions without problems, but then again it's hard to keep track off.
A weird thing that happened to me today too was that a particular text from yesterday got resent today right after I rebooted my One V, and What makes it even weirder was that the old text disappeared from the where it was yesterday to when it got sent out today...
I only had it for a couple of days before I rooted it so I don't know if it's because of the fact that I rooted it, though I started to notice it the same day I rooted the phone...
What can I do?
Could it be the JmzOneV4 ROM, does changing the kernel and overclocking affect this as well?

I think you should try your SIM in other phone and check your problem might be issue with your Carrier.
Regarding the Auto Sending of SMS, I was facing that problem sometime ago and have been trying to find why it was so.
A factory reset will solve that problem.
I noticed that there were some GO Launcher themes that caused that problem to occur. (although I m yet
Also, u can use an antivirus. F-Secure recognized that virus and removed it.
I still dont know which app caused that problem though.

[Q] Stability and text message issues with multiple ROMs

I've been having various issues with my T999L for the last several weeks:
1) the phone will just crash without warning. This seems related to text messaging somehow, or to Handcent, as it most often happens while I am in the middle of typing a text message. However, it does happen on occasion at other times.
2) My phone will sometimes just lose the ability to send text messages. I've tried uninstalling Handcent and using the stock app but it doesn't help. Rebooting does nothing as well. I'll try to send a text and it will just spin forever. It can last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, after which I can send messages by deleting all pending messages and then resending them. I don't lose LTE data or the ability to make calls. only texting is affected.
Both these issues have happened on CM11 and PAC-man, so I'm not sure if my phone is somehow damaged or it's a kernel problem or what. I'm kind of hoping it's a known issue and there's a fix, but I haven't been able to find anything.

Ive had this happen a few times as well. When it starts spinning I turn on airplane mode and then once it comes on I turn it back off and usually the message will go through.
Try using a stock based rom and see if issue persists
