I sold my G-nex to a friend who then gave it to a relative, but she is complaining that she is receiving texts intended for me, even though I also am receiving them.
I have a new number, even a new carrier.
The SIM was replaced.
She says the google account is hers not mine. Which I am sure it is.
What other suggestions can be offered to help?
Thanks to anyone who replies.
are we talking about SMS texts? Gtalk texts? Whatsapp texts?.. troubleshooting this could be fun, but I'd just tell her to fully wipe the phone and start all over, probably didn't wipe correctly in the first place.

So this isn't Dinc specific but as at least half of the problem occurs on a dinc I thought I might as well post it here.
I just recently had a problem with one of my associates where we are unable to send/receive text messages from one another. I have turned on received reports in the default messaging app and all my texts say received by the recipient.
Both of us can receive and send texts to other people and calling between us still works. I have wiped my phone, and gone with a stock Virtuous 3.2 rom and it still doesn't work. They are on a blackberry, also on Verizon if that helps.
I think this has something to do with your associates phone. My girlfriend's phone does the same thing, she won't receive messages or sometimes even calls. She has the new blackberry curve on VZW. We tried *228'ing it and that didn't help so we took it to the store, it was swapped and now it works like a charm.
It's not your phone, especially if you wiped it clean. Trust me.
I just bought an evo and had it flashed to metro. So far talk, and data works fine, data is a lil slow but that was expected on metro. Just a couple of issues tho, one I cant receive text messages, but I can send them. Two, the speed dial to my mailbox (#1) is still set to the old number of the privious owner, and don't know how to change it.
Can anyone help me out? any solutions?
Thanks in advanced
Take it to the place you had flash it.
They told me I have to wait at least 24 hours since I ported my number from Verizon. So I'll have to wait and see. I'll post an update later if its working or not so if anyone else has done it, they're aware of the 24hr wait.
Ok so after a day and a half or so. Everything is working fine, and I'm really happy with the phone. Data, txt, talk on the $45 plan on metro.
Now I'm trying to get my email app to work. Works with wifi, but not with regular phone signal. If I use the yahoo or gmail mail apps, it works with regular signal which i dont mine having to user their apps, but still need to figure out how to get my pop email accounts from my shared hosting. I set up all the correct incoming and outgoing setting but keep receiving errors. Just any FYI for any other EVO on Metro users.
Glad im not the only one that had this issue, I just flashed my evo 3d to metro from sprint.
Everything works but receiving texts. I can only get texts from other metro users but no one else yet.
Ill give it a day or 2 to see
Hi all. I am not on AT&T so I apologize for posting here but I wasnt sure where else to seek help. Hopefully someone may have an idea.
I recently got a phone on the Pelephone network in Israel. It is a Galaxy S3.
I am able to send SMS texts with no problem. I am also able to receive texts from other phones in Israel no problem.
For the first day or two everything went OK but then suddenly I stopped receiving texts from my friends in the US. They receive mine, but I cannot receive theirs.
My company tried diagnosing this with carrier. They insist everything should work. All the right plans are activated, etc. They even swapped out the SIM. After that the SMS worked fine again for about a day, and then, like last time, stopped working...so people in the US can still receive mine, but I cannot receive their replies anymore.
They are replying in the same way as in the past (replying to my text) so it did work...it just stopped.
I have tried a factory reset which didnt help.
Any ideas?
So I recently ported from Sprint to Verizon and now to ATT within a little over a month. After just completing the port to AT&T I am getting strange email notifications about a voicemail I missed which seems to be for totally different people.
No notifications are showing on my phone and when I check my phone it is saying I have none. However almost daily now I am getting email alerts and the voice message attached of a email to someone else.
When I hoover over the message on gmail it shows up as @smsvoice.sprint.com all coming from 724 area code. This didn't happen with the month I spent on Verizon, just a day or so after getting my number ported from Verizon to ATT and getting the phone up and going.
Phone is a LG G4, bone stock.
The software used to play the messages showing through email is called Smith Micro Software.
Would like to figure out why I'm getting these. If anyone has experienced this or knows what it is I would greatly appreciate it.
Hello,
To better assist you, your thread will be moved to your device Q&A forum linked below.

The experts there may be able to help. Good luck.
It's more likely connected to the operator, rather than the phone.
I searched here and google and saw only a few hits on google, but there wasn't much information. I recommended a Robin when they were on super-sale a few months ago to a friend. She is a teacher and says that several parents who text her aren't getting through, although she can text them on her Robin using T-Mo SIM. She said that the T-Mo guy said he wasn't familiar with the Robin and told her to get a new phone
I told her that it sounded impossible since all text, voice and data is universal and that a phone should not be able to discriminate what carrier the text originated from.
I had her DL Android Messenger and try that as her text app and she said "it didn't work" although I didn't press her what exactly didn't work w. the app because we were emailing each other. Also had her restart. I asked her if she knew if these VZN/ATT people were on iPhones (maybe the people were trying to text her on iMessage (or whatever the iOS text app is called?) but she wasn't sure. She also has access to a Verizon flip phone that her brother has and she says that indeed texts from his phone don't go through to her phone.
She's going to let me look at the phone this weekend and I plan on checking if there are any filtering or settings that might be causing her not to get texts from VZN or ATT phones and then clearing the text app's (not sure what the default text app is on the Robin) data. She says that she can get texts from T-Mo and she will be bringing the brother's VZN phone for me to test. I will report back what / if anything that I find in this thread.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions what might be causing this / have ever heard of such a thing?
TIA
