[Q] Roaming texting - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I am roaming I can receive text messages (albeit with the wrong timestamp) but I can never send them. They always just bounce back. Is this normal? It's happened to me on two epics on multiple ROMs. Is this a phone issue or a sprint/verizon issue? Anything I can do to work around this?

Spam Texting

Does anyone else experience this ? I send messages and sometimes my recipient receives 8-15 txt if the same kind. I am using CM7 at the moment.
Yea it happens to me when I'm at my dads house where there isn't good service. Doesn't happen all the time. Seems to happen when the phone is switching between wifi and 3g services. Also he has an airrave so that gets mixed in I think. Maybe phone tries one n the next even tho it already sent. Idk just my guess. Also, he is the only one that I ever got multiple same messages from.

If your texting back and forth quickly. The airave gets stuck and will keep sending out the same text untill its unpluged. Error code 34. Thats how i know when to run and unplug it.

i hate the airave for that, and i swear the airave causes longer messages to not send too

[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

Missing random text messages and Calls - ROM or Hardware?

Hey fellow XDAer's,
I am constantly missing text messages from friends and every once in a while, I see that I get a voicemail with no missed call on the phone. I am wondering is it is the ROM I am running or just the phone.
Has anyone experienced this before? If so, how did you fix it?
I was thinking about dropping my ROM back down to a stock ROM (rooted) and see if that helps. Does anyone have any good suggestions on a bone stock rooted rom to test?
Thanks!
Hey,
I have had this issue before and honestly it was neither, it was just the sprint service, I had bars but I was missing text calls etc and I called the sprint store to have them tell me it was just an outage. So most likely that is what is causing it.
Now to counter this I use google voice so either I normally get my calls and text through one or the other or both if data and 1x is working properly!
I wish you the best of luck and hope you figure it out!
If I helped please hit that thanks button!
I was missing random text messages until I started using Ghostly SMS. Since I started using that a couple of months ago it has recovered over 100 text messages.
which rom are you on?
roms like energy are notorious for not getting sms through. i have had mannnyy people think im ignoring them because texts arent coming through i will usually switch to voice intergration and solves it cuz everything is going through voice.
and/or see if there are certain radios that work better for the rom you are on. sometimes that will help too

M-m-m-m-m-monster kill text messages. Please help.

My phone is driving me insane. I will receive up to ten copies of the same text message from random people I'm having SMS conversations with. Over. and over. and over. It is carrier and phone independent on their end; it never happened to me before I got the Galaxy Nexus.
The only way to solve the issue (and stop the texts, as they also seem to be coming in as additional text messages that have somehow been "converted" to the content of the "bug" message) is to restart the phone.
^^^ To clarify, I just got one text message five times. When I restarted my phone, five -different- text messages from the same person came in one burst.
What gives? Happened to me out of the box and with the 4.1.1 OTA I've installed.
AT&T. 4.1.1 yakju.
Further clarification:
NO additional SMS apps EVER installed.
Google Voice is NOT sharing an inbox with Mms.apk.
One friend has a new One X on at&t - I thought the issue was with his phone
Until it happened with a friend who has a 3GS on T-Mobile ; I've never received duplicate texts from them before, the issue is on my end
The m-m-monster kill does not seem to arrest any of my outgoing texts
It *does* however intercept all incoming text messages, and turn them into the m-m-monster kill text.
Due to this issue, I think I can never use the "Vega" notification again.
Quick Google results show VZW users experiencing the same issue with stock LTE Nexii. This is ridiculous.
Bump?
Same issue for me. I'm on 4.1.1 too and have experienced this randomly with multiple ROMs and kernels. Any fix?
Toro on cm10. Has never happened to me before.

Duplicate texts being sent

Nitrous 1.6.1
Stock OTA kernel
Baseband 2.15.00.12.19
PRI 2.33_003
PRL 60690
So as far as I can tell, everything is up to date (just recently did a profile/PRL update a couple weeks ago).
I can't remember exactly when this started (it has been over the course of a few different ROMs -- maybe a year or so), but it seems anytime I send an SMS message and someone sends me one back in quick succession (within a few seconds of sending/receiving) I get error 34 undeliverable but the message goes through anyways. Also the signal always temporarily goes from 3G to 1X back to 3G when sending/receiving messages so I don't know if that makes any difference.
Even more annoying is if the above happens when I'm at home linked up to my Airvana, the other person complains that I'm spamming them the same text 3 or 4 times. This only happens when sending and receiving texts within close proximity of one another. As you can tell, it's really irritating that I basically have to try to ensure I space my texts out from one another to not spam the recipient.
I'm pretty sure the Airvana duplication is a hardware problem with the Airvana itself (or so my internet searching says), but is the issue of colliding texts and getting an error coupled with the 3G to 1X signal normal when on normal cell tower signal?
