[Q] Lost SMS Draft - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I hope this question is in the right place. I was composing a text and saved it as a draft. Later in the day I texted the intended recipient with another message prior to sending the draft by selecting a new composition from the main text menu rather than from the established thread. Later I went back to send the draft and it was gone. I've done this on the HTC Amaze before, the Amaze will hold the draft when you open the thread so to avoid sending it I always used the a fore mentioned method. So to make a short question long, is there any way to retrieve the draft?

Honestly i cant say but was it really a long text or something important in it ? Hope not ..

was using text message draft as a financial log. Did not save.

Well this sucks and is embarrassing. I was using a text message draft as a small log for expenses for work. It somehow began like this (stupidly thinking i would send the message later) and for over a month i entered my information in the draft, and when asked "do you want to save this draft" I of course said yes. Well,, tonight i said no. So.. after searching i am pretty sure there is no way to recover this after i indicated that i no longer wanted the message to be saved in the drafts folder.
Is there any good news??? This sucks..

Is there a better text message application?

I am fairly new to my X1, and still struggling with some of the functions.
The main problem I have is the SMS service. I am on T-Mobile in the UK using the HTC Touch software.
When I send a new message I have no problem.
When I reply with the full conversation page, it usually fails to send. A very brief warning comes up to say its failed, but it doesn't stay on screen for long and sometimes I miss it. In tiny writing at the bottom of the page it says failed to synchronise.
I can only check by going to the drafts folder to check which is very frustrating.
Surely there must be a good old sms app that sends basic replies, and includes smileys. Even if I could use basic message system without the full conversation reply, it would help.
I sometimes think my old P1i was better.
Any tips are very welcome

Text Messaging Problems

Anyone else have problems with text messaging?
Scenario: I receive a text message, the notification pops up on screen. I have my phone handy, so i hit the reply button.
The phone takes me to Windows Mobile text messaging. I send my text message reply. If the same person texts me back, it is not registered as being read.
So i exit the screen back to the TouchFlo 3d menu. I have a new text message (that i have already seen and read)
So i go to the windows mobile text system to read it...again.
NOW, lets say i have a full conversation with someone. 30 messages later, I still have 30 unread messages, every time i open the windows mobile text messanger, it removes ONE new message, not all.
So, i never get to use the TouchFlo 3d messenger, which is half decent, and the WM6.1 text messenger is stupid.
Does anyone know of a setting, or a third party text program that will over ride this crap, or am i just hoping this all works out.
Am i really the only one who has text messaging difficulties?

this is a known issue my friend...
download SafeInBoxExtender... search the main forum...
it will let you "mark all messages as read" ..
it will cure your problem right up..
*nods* i have it already, it doesnt exactly "cure" the problem, UGH!
We shouldnt have to come up with stupid fixes for stuff microsoft should already have fixed.
Is 6.5 slated to fix some of this garbage?
I have another problem
i cant use the TF messaging
allot of times it tells me message not sent
and if not there is no delivery report
i found out the there is a TF delivery report i must check 1st
but its not fixed !!!
when i go out of the message it becoms unchecked !!
So at the end i used the Win messaging with no problems there
but i wish i can just click the incoming message and reply right away
hmm how odd, i don't have either of those issues.
Which version of the TP2 are you guys using?

Another partial fix here...Partial because Ive only using the new dll for a bout a week(not sure of long temr effects) & I cant make a successful backup using sprite backup etc without adding the dll files to the exclude list of files to backup.
im not quite sure i understand what you just said.

[Q] SMS delivery

So I just have a general question. I sent my phone in for repair. It's been gone for a week so far. When I get my phone back, will all of the texts people have sent me during that time still show up on my phone? Or is there a time limit after which those messages will expire if not delivered by then? Of course, this is all assuming Samsung doesn't wipe my phone clean before sending it back...
If it hasnt been wiped then they should still all be there. The messages work on a per message basis not time. Say your limit was 200 messages (you can change this in the setting of the messaging app). So when you got message #201 then the oldest message #1 would be deleted. This is also per contact thread.

Need help!! Receiving repeated texts

Hello. I'm need of help. My samsung s6 keeps receiving and seems to sending texts to and from certain contacts over and over again. Sometimes for a few hours but as long as a full day sometimes. I dont know what is happening. I was able to block texting to those contacts and it seemed to stop. Texts with these contacts was typically in a group text (mms) and would happen daily. I noticed that when we would group text sometimes some of the messages would stay pending "download" and even after several attempts to dowload it the message would just stay pending so i would just ignore it. But later in the day and/or very late that night i would start receiving all these messages which seem to be the same ones over and over again. Much more people were letting me know that they were receiving texts messages from me. Its gotten to the point where at times i just shut down my phone overnight and pray that it clears up by morning. It had been. Any help you can point me to would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Are they texts that you have composed or has your account been hacked?

thank you for reaching out so quickly. They are texts that i have composed. At least those i can see. Its like they pop back up as a group text somehow and the messages keep coming even if i delete the group text.

No problem. I did some research via Google and found that a fair number of people have reported the same problem (across all networks, Verizon and T-Mobile as well as Sprint) with the following results:
1) The issue seems to be tower related, so the first thing that you should do is report it to Sprint. They'll tell you that you are crazy, can't happen...stick with the report and hope that someone takes it seriously.
You can point to: https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/86838?tstart=0 and http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/425621-duplicate-text-messages.html and https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/558872
2) To try to fix it yourself, update PRL and Profile. If that doesn't solve it, switch to a 3rd party texting app.
If I did nothing else, hopefully I assured you that you are sane and your phone isn't haunted. Best of luck.
Thank you so much for your help. I seriously thought I was going insane. Actually thought all this was "Normal". I'm not very android savvy so can you tell me what PRL is? Sorry haven't read Cell Phones for Dummies yet. I appreciate the links. I will definitely follow up. Someone told me that I may have to do a "Factory Reset"?

if it's a group message you're included in, I believe you need to have the other contacts in the group remove you from it.

Hello elesbb.
Since I recently just found out a few days ago that all this was happening, I spoke to the contacts on the group text and they confirmed that they were receiving most if not all of these repeated group texts. So we decided to stop the group text, and I put a text block on their numbers and the repeat texts have stopped. But I'm afraid if I take off the text block Im gonna have the same problem. What I did typically see that I had many repeated copies of the texts that were either attempting or failed to download. I would get this sometimes all evening and late into the night/morning. I really dont' know what to do. I'm in the process of contacting sprint today to see if its a system or network issue.
