Texts are all mixed up

I remember this happening to my rooted g1 with the slow and sort of crappy sense ui installed; so when my wife complained that her text messages on her Slide dont go in order i was shocked that the problem STILL exists.
I didnt see a thread about it here, sorry if i missed it. Anyone else have text message conversations where the texts are out of order? Phone is stock btw

I appear to have that same problem too, but I'm using stock Android right now. If we have the same problem I can elaborate on it more.
My problem seems to be that if I get a text message reply from someone and it's in the same minute as the last text message I sent the person, their text will go above mine, even though they sent their's after I sent my text.
So for example: I send a text to somebody at 3:20:15PM and that person sends a text to me at 3:20:55PM, their text will go above my 3:20 text, making it look like they sent the message first.

I had this problem as well, before my phone was rooted and even after. The only solution i have found is to install a different SMS app, which i use Handcent because its the closest to the stock app, and its free.

interesting, my wifes is stock and she said it happened with texts that were no more than a minute apart as you mentioned.
i just cannot believe this is still a problem. Sense UI is neat but this sure seems like a fundamental feature that shouldnt have such issues...

same thing has been happening to my texts, before and after root.

i can say the same thing happens to me also

[Q] About SMS on CM6

I've searched far and wide, and can't seem to find anything on the issue I'm having. Or maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but it's been about a straight hour know that I'm looking and can't find the answer I'm looking for.
My problem: When I send a SMS as ONE text it sends perfectly, but once the text reaches 2 texts and I try to send it does not work, it says "sending..." for literally 10 minutes then I get a notification saying the message cannot be sent. I have no idea what I could possibly do to fix this. Someone help, please?

My suggestion is picking up the phone and calling them.. clearly you have alot to say.
(its late... you'll have to excuse me... lol)

Yeah, I was expecting something like that from this time at night..lol. I did laugh.

I think the problem is that the message you're trying to send is over 160 characters, and since SMS messages can't be over 160 characters, and the messages app isn't breaking the text into two texts, it can't send and just times out. Try using chompSMS or Handcent as an alternative, as they have auto-160 breakout features.

A known problem with that Rom. Can't send texts over 160. Why I tries fresh Rom. Can't stand that and don't like the sms in the market. If I can find out to put froyo sms on the Rom id switch back to pick. Bit that's a downfall to me personally.

I really must agree with you. The rom is awesome, but that's a major issue for me. ah well, guess I'll go back to Virus or someone else.

I should spell check before sending. Amyways, on cm6 my sms never had the letter counter so could never tell if over or not. I thought it was the kernel I installed. Then went to the Rom topic and people had the same problem. If I can find out how to pull the sms apk from froyo and push it to cm6 is say I have a perfect Rom.

Yeah, this is a real issue. CM6 was originally for GSM networks, which don't have problems with extra large SMS messages. They haven't tweaked the AOSP messenger for CDMA networks yet (by splitting messages).
Here's the issue on the bug tracker. http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1942

That makes perfect sense. That's pretty game-breaking if you ask me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds that to be a huge problem. I'll definitely go to the link you provided and take it from there. Thanks everyone for your responses.

Phone sending entire inbox.

hey I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this yet, as I can't find any info about this in any forum so far:
Whenever I flash a rom, this issue doesn't show up right away, but it always does, regardless of phone or build. Currently every sms message I send is stuck in a "sending" status on my device. The recipient always gets the message, but my phone thinks that it hasn't been sent. So, whenever I reboot my phone, if I haven't cleared all of my threads, my phone will resend every sent message on my phone. If I flash the same rom on top of itself, it goes away for a few more days, but it always comes back. Again, this is regardless of rom and even phone (D1, Eris,fascinate, DX, and incredible). Does anyone know what could be causing this? At the very least if someone could direct me to the property place to ask this question, I'd appreciate it.

If its over many phones it could be a problem with the towers around you, try calling verizon about it but get to the to the top of tech support

I don't think it's a tower issue. When I send a message, in handcent there is s spinning wheel next to the message until the phone registers the message as "sent". this happens in it's own way across any and all sms apps on my phone. If I create and send the message in the stock messages app, it will show as sending in my other app and vice-versa. For the record, I have tried this with handcent, chomp sms and go sms.

This definitely sounds like a network issue. Have you tried sending a sms with a "dumb phone" and see if you have the same problem?

No, I haven't. I'll try it tonight when I get home from work. I sent a text to myself last night to test, and while it got to me immediately, it sent itself again 4 hours later. I'm not sure if that means anything significant or not but I'll try using another phone tonight.

This was a known issue with some phones and some SMS/MMS clients. Handcent implemented a fix, not sure about other clients. See this post in android forums for implementing the fix: http://androidforums.com/android-ap...on-without-resending-old-sms.html#post2136469

Thanks for this info!! I'm currently trying go sms again jaded on a reply in that thread, which seems to be working. I want to try the handcent fix, but I don't feel like taking the time to see how well consistently it works and risk text bombing people again. Hopefully some better themes start popping up

0001/0002 on text messages

Recently my text messages have been starting with 0001/0002 and I am not sure why but it annoys me. They do it on any rom. I posted a picture. Any ideas?

Im getting the same thing but its only on some texts
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I got a few like that, but only on June 22, and only from one person. She happens to be on an iPhone, but I got other texts that day from iPhones without it.

This happen to me a couple of days ago from my wife BUT she's on Boost Mobile so I figured it was something going on with her network or something........What ROM are you guys running?
I'm on the latest CM7 7.1 running Tiamat's SBC 4.0.5 kernel.....

It must be a sprint thing. I'm using the 3d and I'm getting it too. Or maybe a Sense thing?

I can confirm. Multi posts doing the same thing.

I have been seeing the same thing when people send me long text messages, it's happened when people send from verizon/boost/cricket and t-mobile

i think it might be a GB thing, its supposed to do it when your text is so large it need to be split in to 2 or more smaller messages to be able to send, and its numbered so you know which message come first, sencond,etc. but there is a bug in the feature where the message app splits smaller texts too

Its looks to me like that's the message counter, like message 1 of 2, 2 of 2, for messages longer than 160 char.

I get this from my gf, she uses vz droid x running stock gb. Only her, no one else running gb or a different carrier. So my guess is not our phones or sprint but the others carrier.
Btw im on froyo so its not a gb thing for us.
Posted by some phone named the Epic.

Okay so I get it from my girlfriend using a feature phone on verizon so it's not a thing her phone is doing. If just started a month ago. It's not on all her texts and of she sends me a message 3 texts long it only counts her first two then the thrid is untouched. It's not a sense thing because it happens on Miui and cyanogenmod. It has to be at the carrier level.

I think its defiantly a sprint thing that just recently happened... if i get a text that is over 160 characters. Instead of breaking the text into 2 parts i get 1text around 160c and then 2 more saying 0001/0002 that each have only about 20 or so characters but its weird it splits the message into 3 parts leaving 1 alone... Sprint should defiantly change whatever they just recently added into their texting feature....

Yeah this is happening to me as well. My gf is on T-Mobile and if she sends me a long text, it breaks it up, but not in a logical manner. I get the first message of 160 char, then the next might only be a sentence, followed by another short message. So what should have been 2 messages, turns into 4 or 5 sometimes.

happening on my phone as well. Running SnS 2.2 froyo, so its not a gingerbread thing. This ONLY happened before with people using Handcent, people using stock messaging apps it never happened. It used to just break up the text without a 1/2 counter, but now it happens anytime. Specifically my gf who has an Incredible on verizon, and she is using the stock messaging app. So it seems like maybe this is something sprint is doing on their end.

It numbers the texts in order because who ever sent it sent you a text longer than 160 characters, it seems android is numbering the texts for you so you won't have to put together the puzzle figuring out what text came first.

Are you using google voice? I had issues with mine.

I believe it has something to do with the message thread as well...whereas you can delete individual messages from a thread as opposed to the whole thread.

This is a Sprint network thing. They probably changed something in the SMSC (Short Message Service Center) to make it do this. This is happening to both me and my brother. CM7 on my EVO, Mik (I believe) on his EVO Shift. Doesn't matter what carrier or phone the incomming message comes from, it happens all the time.
That should answer it for everyone

Actually that is in the sense 3.0 mms app. Mine does that on my 3D LOL, try an aosp rom it won't do it and based on your screenie you're using sense 3.0/2.1

I'm telling you guys its network related. Both mine and my brothers phone have not changed at all and this started to happen the other day. I'm on aosp he is on sense. Two different devices. But what do we have in common? Location and carrier. Sprint changed the way that texts are handled.

MMS issues

My wife and I have been having issues with group texting since we got these phones. What usually happens is she'll receive a MMS and it won't download. I'm coming from a Nexus 6 and she from an HTC One M8, but for some reason it's much worse on her phone than it is on mine. We activated the SIM card that came with the phone. We've tried all the obvious things: resetting APNs, clearing data on the messaging app, using a different app, trying with VoLTE on and off (which I heard worked with the Z3). There's been an open ticket with T-Mobile for two weeks which hasn't really gone anywhere. It seems to happen no matter who the group text originates from. We have both iPhones and Androids in the chat.

Same issue. Looks like the most common factors here are G4 and iPhones.

The issue is only with group texting.

TWN H815 here. Group texting is not supported on the stock messaging app, so I'm using Google Messenger. It has happened to me a couple of times, after upgrading to v10b. The only way I got the messages to download was to turn off WiFi.

I'm glad you decided to REACH out and ask. At least you don't feel like an OUTSIDER. Maybe its an ANOMALY. I'm not sure but when you figure it out i hope you just tell those who don't want you to fix it, "I'm a just do it!"
If you don't understand what I'm talking about let me know. I'll have my boy Andy Mineo give you a call. He's the kind of guy that always says "you can't stop me!"

Did you get anywhere with this? I've tried stock messenger, hangouts, and now textra. At least in hangouts/stock I'd get the message to download; in textra the message just doesn't come through. It seems to originate from:
1) Group MMS
2) First message in a new group
3) Message was sent from an iPhone
4) Pictures especially, but text seems to do it as well
If these conditions occur, I never get the message. Frustrated that it happens but not sure what to do. H811 on TMobile.

Does it only fail while the phone is on WiFi? If so change the option in the texting app to switch on data for mms. Textra and Handcent have this I believe.

I have the same issue, some mms, both picture and group text will either not download or just never show up.

Related I guess, but group messaging doesn't appear to work properly on the stock messaging app

Nope group messaging on my tm g4 is so bad. I've tried almost everything and it still won't download pics

I have this issue occasionally with Hangouts. I will get an mms that did not download from a contact (that should be part of an on-going group message) but it will not download. WiFi or LTE does not seem to matter. When on WiFi, the LTE symbol pops up in the notification bar for a second or so. For me, this only occurs to one out of 30-40 group messages. A minor annoyance, but annoying all the same.
I have not had this problem on any other device when using Hangouts. I had an immediate distaste for the stock message app, so i cannot corroborate that the issue occurs there.

It's happening regardless of SMS client. I've tried stock, Hangouts, Textra, etc and the issue persists across all of them. Mine happens much more frequently too unfortunately, same for my girlfriend.

This is getting insane

I gave up and switched phones unfortunately. Was part of a long thread and me and my wife got every last message. Amazing seeing it work correctly!
