Before the JB update, the phone would only give me the send fail if i received a text at the same time as sending a text. After the update, if my texts are under a certain amount of characters, the send fails, or gets stuck in a sending loop, in which case i have to restart my phone to get it to fail. As well as the original issue stated above. Does anyone else G do this? Any fix for this problem? I contacted LG, the dude told me it was the first he had heard of it, do a little Google search, it happens to others, that lying sack. Please, anyone, help me with this issue. I paid good money for this phone when it first came out, and it basically is useless when it comes to texting. Thanks guys.

D*mn right you are mate! I also have this s*cked up problem! I attributed it first to myself since I flashed a Custom ROM without backing up EFS, but I just flashed baseband, yet I still have this problem. Sometimes I can send out sms without problem, but most of the time it fails, send loops, etc. I just wished I haven't flashed before making a backup! But calls are fine.
i don't quite get what you meant, but my OG (running all stock) is perfectly fine with calls and sms.
i don't text much though, but at least once a day (usually 300+- words in a single sms)

I have a Verizon Touch Pro 2 and I can send but not receive a MMS message I have called tech support and they can figure out the problem and they put a trouble ticket (someone that works at Verizon once told me thats a way of them blowing you off) out for the problem. Has anyone else had this problem?
either go to a store or have them remove and readd the data package and force it in the switch
I have this problem with my TP2 on Vodafone UK. They apparently did all the data crap but it still does it.
What happens is someone sends me an MMS then over a month later I receive it, but it's expired and can't be downloaded.

I have been to the store and they have know idea what is going on...its ridiculous.
try to send one to yourself & see what happens. I know back in the days when I got my MDA/Wizard I remember reading something about sending before you can receive so everytime i get a new phone, out of habit, i send myself an MMS.
does your store have techs or just sales people.
they need to remove and readd your options

I have sent myself one many times and still nothing. I had no problems receiving mms with the Storm that I had before....well one problem, the storm was a piece of junk!
i really appreciate the threaded messages in android phones but i have a strange experience with it once in a while. When you text back and forth you get all these messages in like a chat form following the order of the conversation but sometimes i would all get my messages in a cluster while the response of my friend would be thrown somewhere in the beginning or at the end. I have no problem with sending and receiving but they sometimes don't come in the right order. I don't know if i have explained myself well or if you guys can see my problem. Anyway if anyone has the same experience and a solution i would really appreciate that. Thanks
I don't text that much but I noticed if I receive a reply the same minute I sent the text the order will be messed up. Haven't found nor looked for a solution yet, doesn't happen that often to bother me.
i got the same problem... but no solution
Hi all
Noticed this at xmas but got sidetracked and never brought it up.... until i tried to send a bulk txt this morning !
I have UK defy unlocked with t-mobile, stock ROM but rooted.
When i try to send bulk text messages they ALL fail!! i have to manually resend each one multiple times until i discovered that you need to resend them one at a time, but let each one actually finish sending before moving on to the next.
WTF??? is all i have to say about that...
has anyone else experienced this issue? any ideas how to resolve?
thanx
Apps on the market that are supposed to allow multi-text messages at once. Never tried. I have heard this complaint before with Defy. Not sure if it's been addressed in the latest update.
Hello all,
So my wife is telling me she is having a weird issue with her S3. I haven't gotten a chance to diagnose it myself so I figured I would check with you all to see if anyone has noticed this.
She is saying that she will send me a text message and when I respond a few seconds later my text response will display before the text she originally sent me. This seems to only happen when I respond quickly. She is also informing me that, as of right now, she sent a message with the timestamp 9:37. The response she got from me (again, I responded quickly) shows the timestamp of 9:36 and is appearing before her message I responded to.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? Let me know if I am being unclear.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Also, she is not rooted or anything. The phone is in as-bought condition minus whatever she installed from the Play Store. She is using the default messenger.

I'm not sure about the stock one, but some SMS apps have the ability to either order texts by 1) the time the sending phone says it was sent, or 2) the time your phone actually received it. My guess is this is a result of a slight difference in the time on both of your devices and her phone is ordering them by originating timestamp, not receiving.
If it's not an option in the stock MMS app, I know a few of the alternative apps in the Play Store offer this "fix".
That's a good point. I am on Verizon and she is on AT&T. Maybe there is a slight time difference and this is causing things to come in out of order. I'll have to check that out.
Mine does it on occasion but fixes itself later on. Both my Captivate and my S II dud it as well. I'm not too worried about it.

my s2 and s3 do this when i'm at my parents house. I think what happens is the towers time is behind on the tower you're on. That's what I've kind of concluded since it only happens at my parents house.
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.
