Sprint family locator. You are being tracked.... lol just kidding. Could it be your font? Try using a different system font and see if it persists. Also you said it happens on all roms right. When firat installing do not check the box that says restore from google. Could be causing problems.

That was it. The BURTON font I were using displayed that SFL thing instead of the hyphen. I guess it's incomplete. Changed the font and all is good. Thanks for the help. :thumbup:

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.

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.

Sometimes my phone has gotten wonky on time usually as a result of battery swaps. happened even prior to my rooting.
All i needed to do was toggle off/on the Auto time set feature and it resets as it should.
All most over slept one morning because I for got to check the time after a battery swap prior to going to bed. Phone is my main alarm clock.
Just go to settings then under system go to date and time and then set the time yourself.

Samsung has introduced a qualcomm time service that might be responsible for weird time behavior. I know on my phone it can be off by up to two minutes, so what I did was disable this from running. If you're rooted, you can either disable it in titanium/application settings/adb OR just remove the application from /system/app/TimeService.apk

Are you using Google maps?? If so clear the cache/data then restart the app should help. Was having that issue b4, and that fixed the problem..

tried it - same thing.
Well,
It's a drastic method, but it seems the galaxy series of phones is plagued with left overs in the hidden file structure.
We root and can see it, but if the devices are stock, that data sits and churns forever, causing what I believe to be, many of the device issues we can't explain.
I suggest a factory data reset, as this will reset "ALL" of the device sensors, and the data contained within the applications that use them.
It is a bit problematic to set up the device again, but if you backup any important info like e-mail etc. and do the wipe, it is pretty quick to set up again.
At least this method will tell you the condition of the sensors within the device.....g
