She's lying lol

Sounds to me like the problem is on her end not yours.
If texting everyone else works fine except for texting to her.....

It's either a problem on her end or plain and simple she's lying. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, next time you're with her send her a text and look at her phone that's the best answer anyone can give you. If she really does not get the message the problem is on her end.

I've seen similar things happen, seemed to be a network problem, account problem or phone not checking in type of problem.
Has it continued since she got all the back texts all at once? Does she receive texts from other people or miss those too?
First try a simple reboot if you haven't already. Send her a text and if she doesn't get it have her toggle airplane mode on/off. Try with wifi calling on and off.
Back up contacts and messages and in Application Management clear cache and data on contacts, dialer storage, dialer, and messaging.
It'd be strange for the battery to cause that, but put the old one back in and test it out.
If her phone is rooted, make a nandroid. Try a different modem. Try clear dalvik, cache and if needed data/factory reset.
If all fails call tmobile and ask to reprovision the account.
Good luck!

Did you try adding just in delivery reports for sms and mms?
Also is this intra or inter carrier. That can cause a delay as well.

That's why it happened cause you had data off. Messaging knew it needed to download a pending image but couldn't, so just sat there waiting indefinitely.
That's strange, I would think that he messaging app would just wait until you activated your data again. Not constantly trying to download the picture.

Yeah I see a lot of people that have problems when the turn off data. I understand it saves a little battery but it causes a lot of issues.

Some carriers (T-Mobile) don't use the regular data connection for MMS. Until I got this phone I did not have a data plan and still received MMS like any other text message.
I have auto retrieve off and if I don't download the mms right away it still keeps my phone awake
Next time, tell em to email pics. Lol

Yeah! Why does anyone use MMS anyway? lol
Maybe he didn't have a smartphone. But even basic phones can email these days.
Hope this thread is still alive, I didn't wanna make another topic.
So I have my data off all the time because it saves SOOO much battery, every now and then someone will send me a pic though, I have auto retrieve on, but when I get the notification, and turn on my data, it won't download the image until they send me another picture. :/
would having auto retrieve off fix this? Or is this some other kind of issue?

Call echoing

When I get a phone call the person calling me gets an echo but it's fine on my end... I was on aokp/cm10, then went back to stock and the problem still persists. Any ideas?

If you're still on stock then try this:
open up your "Phone" app or dialer then press the menu button then "Call settings" then scroll down to "Additional settings" then uncheck the "Noise reduction" feature.
Now try making a phone call to check if whoever you call hear themselves echo. Good Luck.

I was on aokp when it first started doing it, then restored a backup which was stock + root, checked the settings, problem persists, went to aokp rc1 did a full wipe, dalvik, cache partiton, formatted system, and problem is ongoing.... beginning to wonder if its a network problem?

Same here, but for some reason I've been very happy with the latest stock build.
I've noticed that some units are fine with the "Noise reduction" setting checking in and some don't regarding the echo problem.
It wouldn't hurt to try to replace your SIM card. Head out to a T-Mobile store to get a free replacement (If your current line is under your name in the account) SIM cards do go bad...
Does this happen everytime, on every call?
The echo you mentioned, do you mean to the other person you sound echo-y like in a cave or tin can, or is it that the other person hears what they are saying with a half second or so delay, where it makes it hard to talk because they are trying to talk over themselves?
If its the hollow cave/can sound it may well be your phone, if it happens every time. If its the other issue its probably a bad connection. Every time its happened to me, if I hang up and call again it would work normally again.

Odd. I've never seen that happen on every call! Is it hat way for everyone you call?
Try flashing through the radios again testing each one.
I've seen where some were having probs or just no improvement with a new radio but reflashing it solved everything.

did a full wipe again, went back to stock, and now the issue seems to be corrected. :good:
So I went back to stock using Odin, that took care of the problem for me, then I went back to aokp last night, my gf called me and said the echo was back... I hung up on her, restored my new stock backup, called her back, and no echo... I'm not saying it's the Rom or anything but that's what had happened.

Walters? Did you read the thread of AOKP or any of the cm10 variants. Cause half the reports of the last 10 pages include talk about the echo. Just a heads up. It is a cm10 issue, and known. And seems to be being worked out.

No I haven't, i was going on Twitter and goo.im taking whitehawx latest builds, for a while their wasn't a active aokp thread, so I all but gave up on xda and was getting it from alternative sources. But it's good to know it's just a bug and not something that was an anomaly with just my phone lol.

Sms disappearing

Randomly while sending texts or receiving them, my texts randomly disappear or auto hide when I open the app. Other times you can see the messages for a split second then they will disappear saying "your message inbox is empty".
There are also times when I will be in a conversation Window and after replying to a message the message content will disappear and when I back out there will be no messages there either.
Anyone know what the hell is going on? I've restored, deleted cache including dalvik and even installed a new rom twice. The only reason I rooted was to fix this issue.

I am currently running Odexed blue by Team Vennum. I only flashed this rom and rooted because i lost all ability to copy/paste AND this started happening. I was "putting up with" not being able to copy/paste, but once this happened a few times on stock, it was the last straw.

Text messages failing to send after JB update.

I have been noticing all day today that randomly text messages will fail to send with full bars of service. Anyone else experiencing this problem after updating to JB? Never had a single text message fail to send prior to the update.

Try updating prl
failed messages
When flashing is done, you have to update PRL and Profile.. it should fix those issues.
This is done through settings-->> system updates
I am already using the latest prl. I made sure of updating that and the profile right after the jb update. Seems like the problem has gone away for now at least. Hasn't done it today at all.

i have the exact opposite problem lol. in bad reception my text gets sent about four times
That's what I meant. When I have bad service it will say sending for a long time and sometimes it will say it failed but it sends multiple messages.

1st thing I did after flashing the update/radios was to update profile and prl. Happens sporadically here too.
other type of data issue.. but similar
Ok so my problem is that when using k9 mail and i try to email an exsiting contact, it fails every time. If i copy and paste the address into the email field, it works just fine.. Also my texting sends but it's slow to send... used to be semi instant, but takes several seconds. Any ideas, i have. updated PRL and Profile several times.
Texting
The only problem I have had with texting since the update us that when i try and hit send after typing text its greyed out not green...usually ill exit out of the stock app and go back in and do it again and it will send....usually have that problem few times aday...
Okay so this problem only happens when I am at work with decent signal. Doesn't happen anywhere else that I have noticed. Didn't happen before jb update. It is also sending multiple times my gf says.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
See this happens to me at first when i was stock on ics. Messages triple send with latest prl and profile even though it showed sent once. It stopped with a different ROM. Both on lifeless and imperium initiative.
Same here. Texts often fail to send. And it's a toss up, sometimes when it says it failed, it is received and sometimes not. What I've figured out, is that it's mostly on short messages, consisting of 1-3 words! Long messages almost always send fine. MMS, no problem either. I've updated profile and PRL and done a soft reset. I've tried other messaging apps, like Chomp and GoSMS, no dice. Never happened until the JB update.
I made a thread about this a week ago. I did not see this one.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205523. Still no fix from sprint or have I found any true fixes on here yet. Has to do with the new radios that came with jellybean. This seems to be more problematic in the Chicago area. The only option currently is to go back to ics. It would be nice if someone could figure out how to install ZV7/ZV8/ZV9 radios on jellybean.
Make sure you contact sprint, so they are aware of the problem.

I called them 2 times today went through every step and after the first call I wound up wiping my phone and flashing a ROM, I called them again after that and this time they told me they're having issues with mms in my area. I guess the first time they didn't realize it. If it's not working in 3 days guess I'm calling them back.
