I was using the Synergy RLS1 rom for a quite a while and was very happy with it until recently I started having intermittent trouble receiving texts. I wasn't thinking it had anything to do with the rom itself until I read about others having trouble with newer sense roms. I have read a couple of developers state in various threads that it is a known/common problem with the newer sense roms to have this happen every once in a while. This was a few months ago and I am curious if this problem is still present? I really like some of the newer versions of sense that have the lock ring and the ability to set different notification tones for email and texts.
What sort of problems exactly?

Not receiving texts, just as stated.
I know that at one point Synergy did have this issue, so I've not had any issues with any of the newer ROMs. Just try running a different one, and see what happens. I haven't heard of any text issues for months now.

If anyone could upload their sms client that's running froyo that'd be cool. I liked the new look of it versus eclair, but i'm still using eclair for performance reasons.
Thanks.
I agree i'd go back to running eclair if the SMS app had the bubble chat

Don't think the froyo mms.apk works in eclair.

It don't think so either, I'm not sure this is possible without some heavy reworking.
I only ran Froyo for about an hour, and never tried the SMS app it came with. Is it really so much better than using Handcent?
I believe the Vibrant has it, and it uses 2.1. Dont know about compatibility though. Worth trying though

So does the fascinate....i tried it from that....NO GO
in the market and get "handcent"? will this not get your bubble on?
Echo echo echo...I said the same thing in post 5. My biggest complaint is that I keep having issues in general w/ getting MMS texts. I've still got the stock Messaging app installed, so it can't be Handcent's fault....I hated dealing w/ this on my Moment, and now I'm still dealing w/ it on my Epic.

I'm glad someone else has this issue, not to hijack this thread but I will say I had problems receiving texts as well and so I switched to handcent. This did nothing to fix the problem, so I assume it is in the way the system, either designed by Sprint or Samsung, handles mms messages. My experience has been overall patchiness, sometimes receiving texts, sometimes not. On multiple occassions, I have gotten texts that were around 3 hours late, which is a bit of a nuissance lol. Froyo has only partially fixed this, but it could be a multitude of problems. Could be Mms.apk, could be the phone, the network, the individual towers, the location in relation to the towers (I live inside some pretty thick walls, so signal is a bit spotty), or any number of other problems. I can live with it, it's just an example of poor quality. And based off of the fact that you are the only person I have ever come across with this issue, I don't think it is widespread.
Now, back to the bubble messaging app lol. There is some serious code difference between the 2.1 app an the 2.2 app, so porting is a bit out of the question. Maybe it would be possible to find a 2.1 bubble style messaging app, perhaps like the ones above for other SGS phones, and port it that way but it would still take a lot of work. Your best bet is handcent for now, it works very well and is regarded as the best stock mms app replacement, I have known other people who fully prefer it over stock. I'll keep looking around to see if I can get it working, but it is much easier to go from 2.1 to 2.2 rather than the other way around lol.

It's more widespread than you think...Google "Epic not receiving MMS", I found countless threads on othere forums, phones, etc. There is a thread on here about it, but it's got nothing in regards to a solution. I don't blame the towers because I know for a fact that I haven't missed a single one on my Treo for the years that I've had it as a second line.
Ok, so ive been running SkyRaider Zues for a good while, and i came to a snag, everytime i get a MMS video and trie to watch it, i can never see the video. i switch over to CM7 and MIUI and it works in both ROMs. i even switched to MikRunny and it does the same. is this just a Sense thing? can any one help
anyone please?
Zeus problems
not sure. I've been running Zeus since the preview, i've not experienced those issues. have you been to the Bamf forums directly?
I run Mik and i get MMS without any problem. Of course, I have not tried it receiving video, but I do have problems receiving voice messages done trough MMS. It's weird. Do you have this problem as well?
Well, this is an odd issue and i'm sure many other have it because all of my friends with GS3's have this problem. I have a rogers GS3, my friend has a Telus and other videotron and multiple times a week, when we try to send a moderate or long sms (3 lines and more) the phones fails to send the message. This is very odd because i've tried everything from a factory reset, full odin wipe, different roms, and nothing works. I'm on CM10 M2 now and the problem is also there.
When i try to send a long sms, it fails, then i sent a short one right after, it works, then i copy and resetn the original one that failed and it faisl again. I pretty sure many of you have it because we have 3 different GS3 on 3 different networks and it happens to all of us
I tried looking around, i have not found much, maybe somebody has such problem and perhaps a solution?
This happened to me earlier this morning. No idea what can even cause an issue like this.
nobody??? im sure many people have this
I think this is based on all aosp roms.
I don't know if it's fact or opinion, but I always get the "sent" message after receiving the "not sent" error.
In other words, it seems like it still sends the whole text, but just throws you an error initially.
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?
Well i can correct you wrong because i've tested it it does not sent the messages nor does it have anything to so with AOSP roms because i've used both AOPK and they both have the issue,
I send long sms no problem.. some in fact so. Long it automatically breaks them into two. What firmware are you on.

First off this belongs in Q&A so I will move it
Second AOKP is also considered an AOSP type ROM
There should be an option in your mms app to split messages over 160 characters. Make sure it is checked.
On the Touchwiz ROMs that came with the SIII and all TW custom ROMs this is not an issue. This is a Touchwiz phone so changing your ROM to anything but that will have some bugs and require fixes and workarounds.

Contact your carrier
Especially if you're having this issue on and off
Do other apps work? I use ChompSMS (fixes lots of annoying bugs in the TW SMS app) and I can send long messages fine.

i have to disagree. I had like i said in OP, i tried ALL roms, stock, stock rooted, cyanogen and many other, this was an issue in all roms.

are you using a mms app other than what's provided with the rom? And are you able to send any messages at all? or does it fail to send only on long ones?
If you were on stock and still can't send any/long messages, check your apn settings and make sure it's correct for your provider, especially if you are installing roms (stock or custom) that are specifically developed for AT&T phones. From your profile I'm assuming you have a Canadian version.
Check the APN settings. If that's all correct, return the phone for a new one
all apn settings are fine and this is not an issue with the phone because like i said, it would be one hell of a coincidence if this happened to both of my friends with gs3s on different providers. Also i am using stock sms app and this only happens with moderately long sms, it doesnt always ahppen, its random
If it's intermittent, and it's not just you but also your friends, it sounds like a provider problem. From what I have been reading on different forums, it seems service in Canada has been sketchy because they're adding LTE towers everywhere.
I don't know if that's really the case, but all I can say is texting works well for me down here on the AT&T network, both on AOSP (which also includes AOKP as you were mistaken earlier) and stock-based ROMs, although I do get the error on AOSP based roms for long messages. I've asked my friends and they say they receive the whole message just fine.
Last thing I can think of is if you flashed a custom kernel and it messed with some of your drivers. I know KToons kernel has modified drivers, and you're supposed to flash the stock kernel provided in that thread if you're going back to stock. Try that and see if that fixes your problem.
yup, i've flashed ktoon kenel as i had major issues with faux kernel as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1937476
i'll report back in a week to see if any different
thanks for you help
Using the SynergyROM for AT&T, we all seem to be getting the "+" sign prefixed to all of our incoming calls. This is a huge PIA to an otherwise very well done ROM. I recall having this problem months ago with a different ROM, but I can't for the life of me remember which one it was and what the fix ended up being. Can anyone remember any of the other ROMs they have seen this issue with? I know Task650s build had this problem, but it seems it's fixed in his ROM now.
Would love to know the answer to this as well. I tried SynergyROM and liked it quite a bit but this among some other annoyances pushed me to finding other ROMs.
I had this issue with one of Task's first 4.2.1 builds. Been fixed for a long time there.
I used a combination of contactscleanup and prefixer in the interim to handle the +.
It was one of the stock builds that had this problem, just wish I could remember which one.
I am also having this issue. I am on AT&T, GalaxyMod RLS16 ROM, KT Kernel(2/7 version). Android version 4.1.1.
The "+" sign is causing problems for me when my allowed contacts are not ringing through to me when the phone is in Call Block mode (I keep it this way while I am at work).
If anyone has any suggestions has a solution that I may have missed while searching, it would be appreciated if you would share. Thanks!
So I've had the one for about a week, I love the sense roms but I really want a GPE rom since I prefer stock to sense. The rom works great for a couple of hours, but for some reason I drop data and have to switch the radio back to lte/cdma. Once I do that I lose the ability to send and receive sms/mms. I looked in the threads and couldn't see anyone with the same problem, and since I can't post in the dev forums yet I'm asking here.
Thanks in advance
I recently used the RUU to restore my phone after something on every ROM I tries resulted in my phone app FC'ing. But before I did that, I was on a GPE ROM and had no issue with either.
