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

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.

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.

[Q] SMS sending to wrong recipients?

I know this was an old issue before we had Gingerbread, but I was surprised when a coworker of mine with the same phone (Tmo GS2) told me (and showed) me that he was experiencing this still even on a brand new phone (used to have the issue on his old Vibrant).
What happens:
Receive a text message, open up the conversation. Shows the correct conversation, but if you look more closely at who the actual Recipient is, it will be some other random contact.
Any ideas out there? Is Samsung using older, unpatched source for messaging?

I thought this was an issue that had been resolved though. I've never experienced the problem, on the same device, though I run custom ROMs not stock.

Sense roms always have text times wrong?

It seems like whenever I flash a sense rom and start texting, the outgoing messages are okay but the recieved messages are always an 2-3 hours behind. Is this just me or is there a fix for this?

I feel like its a sprint tower issue. I'm constantly roaming at my house so I always get delayed messages or texts showing a different time
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

umm can you be more specific on what version of sense?
i have had issue with 3.5 not sending or recieving texts but no issues like the ones you describe with other versions

I have this issue EVERYTIME I receive a text while roaming. Never fails.

I have this problem with all Sense ROMs I have flashed, and I am a flashaholic. To get around this, I have just installed Go SMS Pro, which is better than the stock messaging app anyway. Any third-party SMS app should have the option to fix this as well.

I've had this problem on a couple occasions from what it sounds like... It does not sound like an app problem it sounds more like a service problem... When I called sprint to inform them of the issue they sent "refreshes" to my phone and it cleared up the problem almost instantly

Checkyour settings and make sure to enable data while roaming. I think most roms have it disabled by default.

it's some sort of tower issue. It happens to me occassionally when I travel around. Cricket is my provider but it uses Sprint towers I beleive.
I use a tiny free app from the market called SMS Time Fix when I see it happen.

Text messages being sent but not being recieved by contacts

All of my SMS and MMS messages seem to be sending out fine as I recieve no "unable to send" errors, but my contacts are not always recieving my messages. This seems to be happening more often lately, and affects MMS more than SMS. I am not sure if this problem has to do with signal strength as my phone usually shows 2 to 4 bars, but sometimes drops to 1 or 0 bars and then goes back up again. Could something be wrong with my antennae? Perhaps when I am sending out the messages that are not recieved, my signal strength is bouncing around but not being updated graphically on the phone, and the messages are "lost" in the system or not being sent out at all?
This also seems to affect some of my contacts more than others, so maybe it also has to do with their signal strength, although I have not heard of them complaining about their text message not being recieved by their contacts or not recieving messages (except from me). I always thought if you could not recieve a text message because of a bad connection, it would be recieved when your connection was finally good.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Seeing all my messages sent out fine but not knowing if they are being recieved makes communication via text message rather stressful.
Thanks

What about receiving? I have a friend that keeps missing MMS I send but I always get hers. It's really frustrating.

My brother has T-Mobile (we on family plan) and my sister in law has Verizon and they both didnt get my MMS message, as well as my neice on Mobi.
Update: I sent a message today to my brother and he got the message and all the other ones that I sent but he did not recieve. I also instantly got a MMS message he sent a few days ago. I am not sure if my messages were stuck in the T-Mobile system itself, or my message today triggered my phone or the system to send the rest. Perhaps there is an issue with the tower located two block from my house?

Tmobile issue dude . I almost broke up :-/

Yea I had a pic from Thursday show up on Saturday.
Can you do me a favor? Check your call log. I hadn't mad any calls in the last few days but I had like 80 in the logs. They were both incoming and outgoing and all said "cancelled". I'm wondering if it's cause of all the failed texts...

I have to say this pisses me off because some of my contacts periodically don't receive my messages. Very frustrating especially when it happens mid conversation and then you wait days thinking that the other person is ignoring and vice versa. It's making me seriously consider switching phones.

My call logs is displaying all of my incoming and outgoing calls correctly. I have not had any issues recently with messages not being recieved by my contacts either, so prehaps the JB update fixed something? I am not sure if it is T-Mobile or the closest tower either because others on T-Mobile in my area have not experienced this problem (or perhaps not enough to notice anything). I will monitor signal strength and double check with my contacts if they are recieving my messages.

Weird.. I can't figure out the call log thing cuz I have incoming calls that say cancelled. It spent really make sense. I thought it must be related to the texts being goofy.

The problem with the call log is that it doesn't really show what we want. How? How would you know if you didn't get someone's text unless they told you? Or what if your phone says it sent the message but the other person didn't get it? What gives? The phone always sends the text but the recipient doesn't always receive it. That's why I used to use delivery reports but on this phone they're too annoying and the system is poorly implemented compared to stock Android (which has the best implementation) or even HTC Sense.

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.

No problems here with MMS:

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!

Did Tmo take the phones back, or did you sell them privately?
