Hi there,
I was texting a friend recently and I found out that I wasn't getting some of the messages they sent me. They were not limited to just text messages, but MMS as well. Is there anybody else having a similar issue?
I also sometimes get the "message could not be sent" notification, more often than usual. I have done a device restart but I don't think there has been any difference.

Service issues on both sides? Could be that ur service provider is doing something to the towers and its effecting ur service. Whats ur signal strength when it happens?

I always have 4G at my house and school, which are the only places that I've been recently. Generally I'm around 3 bars.
This is a known issue with tmobile. Especially when sending texts to Verizon phones.

That's exactly the issue. The person I am texting is on Verizon with an iPhone. It's getting quite annoying now. Is there anyway to overcome this?

lol this is how i block or unblock people from texting
To chime in - i had this exact problem until 4:44 eastern time monday.
All her texts came in at once then. Texting to and from others was fine for both her and i, and she could receive my texts.
She is on ATT - perhaps they have that in common.
I am beyond annoyed with Sprint as of late. For a few weeks now I have had my messages delayed or not sent. Then all of a sudden, the following day I get a bunch of old texts. People think my phone is possessed. I've had to use Google Voice to check if my messages are being sent. There are numerous complaints about this across Sprint Community and across platforms, so it's not isolated to one particular phone. Sprint is pretending like this isn't an issue. Here is just an example
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/381442
I don't know what can be done about this. I've already complained and reported it, but they claim it's not a widespread problem. Thoughts/comments are appreciated.
Same thing. Happened with og evo, evo 3d, and epic touch.

I wonder if it is related to location. I haven't had that issue at all (EVO 4G, EVO 3D, E4GT.) I would be ticked too if it was happening to me.

I don't know that it's just location specific. It seems to be happening across the board according to other complaints on Sprint Community
I know using Google voice has been known to cause this problem on every carrier. Don't know if that is the source of your problem though.

No issues here, not using GV.

Its just a problem with the sprint/gv integration. I've been using the gv app with no problems.

NYC has been experiencing issues, it's being worked on.
Outside of that, update your data profile any time you think you're having texting issues. That will solve the problem about 75% of the time.

Unfortunately wiping profile and PRL only works sometimes. I tried with and without Google Voice. It still happens. I end up checking if my messages are sent via Google Vice which uses wifi as opposed to data with Sprint, so messages are more likely to go through with GV.
For some reason I can get text messages but it takes people 20 min to receive my texts back. Can someone help me?

Call your carrier, have them reset your line, describe them the situation and tell them you need everything reset on their end.

I have already done that and they said they don't see anything wrong on their end and gave me a ticket number so that they can try and resolve the problem
I have started seeing the same thing on my phone. I haven't had time to dig into it but I just flashed FreeGS3 last night and it started today. When I was full stock/rooted I never noticed a problem. It doesn't happen every time either. Are you on a custom rom? May not have anything to do with it, just a starting point for me.

Yes I am on a stock rom I haven't changed anything besides rooting the phone. My problem just started yesterday and hoping it get resolves really soon.
Has it been happening with every text you send, or is it kinda random? Mine seems to be random so far. Hopefully its a network issue on TMobiles side.
In case you don't know, in Messaging apps settings you can set it to request a delivery report for SMS and/or MMS. That way you can at least be sure if/when your texts go through. It will notify you when it is delivered.

It's not a Rom issue. It happened to me on stock. But it's fine in Philly now.

I don't think its a problem with the rom. I had just flashed it so wasn't sure at the time but I haven't had any issues with it today. Must have been on network side I guess.

I don't know if this is a sprint network problem or what but ever since the newest PRL update in my area I am getting doubles and triples of texts from my contacts and sometimes not getting them at all until maybe 2 hours later which is very inconvenient I must say. Anyone else experiencing this or have any suggestions? I've called sprint about it but all they say is they will refresh my signal which doesn't help...
I was getting them too, I think Sprint is having issues with sms

I'm having other issues as well. Not just that but my text will set themselves as read just from reading one or unlocking my screen. Also when I open a thread it will freak out and start scrolling up uncontrollably. And lags bad if I have a lot of different text. I keep having to delete to keep it stable. very frustrating
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
The sending multiple texts thing is a known issue on the Sprint network right now, so nothing to worry about for that, but if it is truly scrolling up without you touching it, then it is probably a bad touch screen. I have seen it twice before with this phone.

Multiple text messages are are caused by the network. Usually in poor coverage areas is where I notice it the most. One day I got the same message from a friend 27 times in an area with crappy service.

I don't have any other issues with the touch screen and havnt had this specific issue with messaging till the update.
That's not the only issue. Selecting all my unread text as read just from reading one. If I don't pay attention to the other bold text before opening one I'll forget lol. I have terrible memory.

If it's really really bad, call customer service and complain and ask for an Airave. It's basically a mini-cell tower that works over your internet connection (assuming you have one). If they won't budge, ask for the termination people. complain there. Make sure you get the device for free, the line for free, and the activation for free. It is a SIGNIFICANT improvement over bad service. Without it, my calls would drop about 75% of the time; the other 25% of my calls would be unintelligible.
