Hello all,
So my wife is telling me she is having a weird issue with her S3. I haven't gotten a chance to diagnose it myself so I figured I would check with you all to see if anyone has noticed this.
She is saying that she will send me a text message and when I respond a few seconds later my text response will display before the text she originally sent me. This seems to only happen when I respond quickly. She is also informing me that, as of right now, she sent a message with the timestamp 9:37. The response she got from me (again, I responded quickly) shows the timestamp of 9:36 and is appearing before her message I responded to.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? Let me know if I am being unclear.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Also, she is not rooted or anything. The phone is in as-bought condition minus whatever she installed from the Play Store. She is using the default messenger.

I'm not sure about the stock one, but some SMS apps have the ability to either order texts by 1) the time the sending phone says it was sent, or 2) the time your phone actually received it. My guess is this is a result of a slight difference in the time on both of your devices and her phone is ordering them by originating timestamp, not receiving.
If it's not an option in the stock MMS app, I know a few of the alternative apps in the Play Store offer this "fix".
That's a good point. I am on Verizon and she is on AT&T. Maybe there is a slight time difference and this is causing things to come in out of order. I'll have to check that out.
Mine does it on occasion but fixes itself later on. Both my Captivate and my S II dud it as well. I'm not too worried about it.

my s2 and s3 do this when i'm at my parents house. I think what happens is the towers time is behind on the tower you're on. That's what I've kind of concluded since it only happens at my parents house.

Cant figure this out, hope there is a hotfix. The order of my SMS messages are all screwed up. The messages that are sent to me show a completely different time than mine. This makes it very hard to have a conversation. I can send a message say at 2:00, and girl sends me a message back it will say like 6:53 and push all other messages out of order. This happens when anyone messages me. Im completely up to date. Any ideas?

MORE INFO PLEASE
rom,kernel,prl, network?
might wanna move this to q&a
This belongs in a different thread.
Try updating profiles or give it time. Sometimes its a network issue.
Future reference this should be in q n a.
Are you using the stock messages app? I thought I read once on XDA that someone else had an issue like this, but when using a 3rd party app, it worked fine. Maybe try that, and if it's not that, it's probably something with your network atm.
I have this problem when I'm roaming but the hours are just off, minutes are the same. Like if someone sends me something at 12:34 my phone will say 4:34. I assume its just because I'm roaming though.
Hi, I am having more odd problems in that some text messages that come in with no number pick a random contact (appears to be the same one). Also, i sometimes get texts from different people appearing in the same thread (as a conversation with someone else) and when you click reply it goes to the wrong person...... very odd..... im not sure what is going on there but has anyone experienced this? This might be me not knowing something or doing something wrong though...... many thanks in advance, matt
This also happens to my girlfriends phone. When she receives a text from a no number (ie a text from Orange 241, or a National Express ticket) it appears as it is from my cousin...
It does another odd thing too, where when she turns the phone on she gets a black text message every time from no number.
Very odd!

I sent a message today and it said that it went to 2 pages which is like 200 characters, but my girlfriend said she only got part of it which i thought was weird, so i tried sending myself the same message and it gets cut off and only shows the last couple words (which are from the 2nd page) but doesnt show any of the first page. So im not sure if this is happening to anyone else but if you could test it to see if its not just me, if anyone knows why this is happening please let me know :/
My long messages get split, but I never see anything on my phone that says so. It sounds like you're using a non-stock messaging program and it's not working right.

Text mesages are limited to 160 characters. It's kinda like a Tweet. The phone displays it as one big message in the SMS app. So it's a failing on Sprint's part to not deliver the messages. It has happened to me as well. I'll get the 2nd part first etc.
No I'm using the stock messaging app but the tghing is I send a message maybe 156 characters long but my girlfriend satys she doesn't get it or anythinng. So I texted myself by typing in my phone number into the recipient field and I send my self the exact same message and get nothing back so I. Made a message that was 2 pages long and sent it but only got the 2nd part back and sometimes get nothing back. I believe I found the reason for all of it though, a week ago we received an airave from sprint because the service at our house was horrible and I believe the airave is causing the problems to my phhone. I went the the store and sent myself that 2 page long message from earlier and I got both parts and I resent the messages to my girlfriend and she got them perfectly with nothing missing. But when I got home it stopped working. So I believe there is something wrong with the airave device I received. Also I tested the messaging stuff with my moms phone (we have the same epic touch 4g) and got the exact same results as I did.
I've been having the same issue as stated by OP since owning the phone and I use the stock app. I'm thinking I need to go back to using the handcent app that I had on my hero since there was an option to split and send after 160

I actually tried it on handcent and it failed to send aswell so it's either the phone, service, or this airave thing I received from sprint

Since it works without the airave, I'm leaning toward it as the problem.

On the stock touch wiz messaging app I get these type of alerts/indicators/notifiers?? but am unaware of what they mean. The messages go through fine, but I get this small "X" right above the date on only some messages.
Does anyone else experience this? Has this already been discussed somewhere else?
I've attached a picture with arrows pointing at what I'm talking about.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
From what I know that means you have messages in those threads that failed to send.
Or rather, your phone THINKS the message did not send. I'm having this issue a lot lately with Sprint and this phone. In my area in fact a lot of people on the sprint network, including those using boost mobile, are having issues. The phone says the messages failed to send, but they actually do.
I have alot of text messages that fail as well. My wife's phone doesn't have this problem.

happens in low coverage areas. happens to me all the time at home. phone will say sending failed, but still sends, and people still reply. i used to keep hitting the exclamation point and it would keep trying to resend, even though it really went thru lol

That's their Google Talk status (you probably have their gmail addy in their contact info). The grey dot with an X means they are offline. If they're online, it would be a green dot; if they were connected and away, it would be a yellow dot with clock hands in it.
Thanks everyone. What's funny is that I dont have gmail addresses assigned to those contacts. Will look into it though, thanks again.
I talked to sprint and they are aware of this issue they are working to find a permanent fix, now this is what I was told. They also say turning the phone off and back on forces update into the phone because it reset with the network when you turn it off.
Just a bug probably.

That might actually be true. The next day after making the original post they were suddenly gone. I have not seen them since. It must be a bug they have to work out.
Thank you.
I had about 6 of those notifiers come up today and I immediately turned off my phone and re-started and they were all magically gone. Been texting since and haven't seen anymore.
Re-starting does indeed work as a temporary fix I suppose. Sprint should hurry up with an update already though.
I've noticed an issue on my Galaxy Nexus (Stock Rooted 4.0.4, VZW) where randomly a text message will disappear.
I don't have any idea what is causing it and its so sporadic, it happens maybe once every 1,000 texts.
The only way I know I'm even missing a text is if I see it appear in the notification bar but not be there when I go into the messaging app (Using stock messaging) or, because I have mightytext installed, I'll see the message forwarded to my browser but I'll notice its gone from my phone.
I was able to pull a logcat after it happened most recently, so if someone thinks they would be able to decipher some information from it, let me know.
I'm posting because I'm wondering if I'm the only one seeing this issue or if others are in the same boat.
Thanks in advance and let me know if anyone would like some more info...I've been trying to nail this thing down for months now.
You're welcome to put it up on pastebin or something and post it, but I would first eliminate MightyText as the first possible problem. Uninstall it and see if it still happens.
I had the same problem when still on 4.0.2 stock, unrooted. Only ever used the stock messaging app. It happened very sporadic, with the same symptoms you described.
Messages popped up in notification bar but could be nowhere to be found in messages app.
Since upgrading to 4.0.4 it never happened again, or at least I didn't notice.
As you are on 4.0.4 already, that's probably not comforting.

Yeah, it happens so infrequently that I'm not surprised you haven't noticed it since updating, but nice to know someone else has the same issue.
Do you have mighytext installed or can we rule that out as a culprit?
Do you have any SMS Backup applications installed?
If not, I recommend the "SMS Backup +" by Jan Berkel.
Works amazing on my ICS.
Does backups of SMS, MMS and Call Logs (if you want.)
Yes, I do have that installed, but thats not really relevant to the issue I described here.
Thanks.

Sorry - I realized I never finished my train of thought. Got "distracted" as someone walked into my office.
To continue, when your texts disappear from your phone, do they also disappear from your Gmail SMS label?
As per every 1000 texts - I assume you get a TON of texts per day?
I ask - because my cousin who is a promoter also gets/sends 1000's of text messages a week, and he made a funny comment yesterday about how some of his incoming texts "vanished."
He doesn't have SMS Backup+, so I couldn't verify it for him at the time. I'm wondering if you and him have the same problems?
Regards,
var
I also have SMS Backup + installed, but not Mighty text. When a disappearing text arrived, it never even had a time to kick in, even though I'm on wifi and it's said to backup upon arrival. The text is just gone, right after the notification vanishes.
But hard to investigate as it happens really very sporadic... And yup, I get hundreds of messages each day in a developing country, where sometimes also sms are not delivered, so everybody knows and it's not that big of a problem.
