Im trying to diagnose what appears to be some issues ive been having this week.
I'm relatively new to the whole ROMing scene here, having recently decided that i wanted to finally get up to kitkat. So im running the most up to date version of ShinyROM on my VZW Gnex, which i updated from a prior version of that earlier this week (and apparently ive been missing texts all week so i dont know if its a coincidence or not).
Additionally, ive seen some suggestions to make sure my access point names settings are correct. But those settings seem to be nowhere when i look for them in the menu.
So i guess 2 questions.. could this be a bug in my ROM, and where have these settings disappeared to?
It is unlikely that your ROM is casuing the issue. Check the ROM thread is anyone else is facing similar issues.
Call, sms are usually dependent on the baseband version, which is the firmware for the radio chipset. The ROM should not cause this issue.
What is the issue exactly, u are missing all sms or only randomly missing few texts. Is this issue for both sending and receiving texts?

I'm getting some texts, and i know at least some are being received, i have no way to verify all obviously. I can verify that i have missed multiple texts inbound though from more than one person. I also had an issue tonight where a text was sent 3 times to someone, though that may have been due to my location (a bar in a basement of a downtown area, guessing maybe the phone wasnt getting its delivery confirmation in return so it kept trying)
As for the radio, i'm running the stock (and most up to date) radios available, which had no issues before.
As for the thread, i do see one post about 10 days ago with someone mentioning issues, subsequent posts go into APN settings, which brought on my other question.. but have no idea if this could be the cause.

Hey man....are you aware of this problem with the Hero where people are not recieving their text messages?
http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/8155-do-not-receive-100-my-texts-htc-hero.html
I don't personally have a Hero but my cousin does and he alerted me to this problem. It's nothing to do with your ROM, but it appears to be an OS issue as people are reporting it in different countries and on different networks. My cousin is running your 2.2 ROM and has this problem, but people running stock have reported it as well.
Would you be able to take a look into this and see if there's a simple fix for it that you might be able to sort out ahead of HTC looking into it? HTC must be aware of it by now but who knows how long it will take for them to fix it...
i've had the same problem. I always used ChompSMS for sending and receiving text messages. At one point i decided to remove HTC's Messages application (Mms.apk / Mms.odex). After that i was still able to send text messages, but i couldn't receive them anymore.
Bottomline: Ask your cousin if the app Messages still is on his phone.
Please either PM someone direct or preferably post your query in relevant thread, i.e. MoDaCo's rom thread.

the text thing is when you don't wipe the phone when flashing
wipe and all is good....i know this as it happened to me too
I recently flashed my wife's Tilt 2 with several different builds of the EnergyRom and then finally back to the stock HTC Rom. With all of them after whenever she sends someone a MMS, it says that it was sent successfully and then the other person's phone even wakes up like it is about to receive a message but then nothing ever comes through. I have spent a lot of time searching through the Rom development forum and found no solution. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
go back to the energy rom thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
hit the 'search this thread' button just below the page #'s.. then click 'advanced search'
and then in the search box on the left for keywords.. type 'mms*' then hit search..
it could be a few things aparently.. maybe something with 'carrier provisioning' not doing what it should?
really though, i'm not trying to be a jerk.. I just spent better than a couple of hours trying to get my sending limits to 600KB..
that's how i finally got it.. just searching and searching..
No in my post it clearly states that I am now having this problem with all ROMs. I have gone back to the stock HTC ROM and it is still happening so it has nothing to do with the Energy ROM.
I have read about the issue with carrier provisioning and since I did not use it I know that it is not related to that. Flashing several different ROMs including the stock ROM has not changed this problem. Once again, does anyone have any actual ideas about why this would be happening?
contact your carrier.... Sounds like somehow you may have missed one of their automatic sim updates. The carriers regularly send them out for.. I have no idea why actually. But I know I was having issues with my touch pro (problems sending texts and phone calls would cut out after only a few minutes) because somehow my sim didnt get the random update they send out every so often.
If they do determine that is the issue what they have you do is call from a land line or something while they update your sim, from there you have to reset your phone and they'll then do some check and once thats done everything will be fixed.
Does anyone have a problem receiving text messages? It seems like sometimes I don't receive messages from people I was in the middle of a conversation with, then I reboot my phone and I get them

Update your prl. Sprint may be having issues with towers near your location.

Location? You may have sprint working on your towers.
What version of Free GS3 are you running? Are you using the stock messaging app? I've been running this ROM and haven't had the problem you have described, perhaps re-flash the phone fresh and see if you're still having problems. If you are, then I would do as FL0OD suggested, sounds like a reasonable thing to do
no problems receiving normal texts. Some roms have MMS issues atm, which may also affect longer texts or group texts.

v0.1.1 & I've re-flashed the phone, and I always keep updating the PRL. It doesn't seem like I'm having problems now, but I still feel as though I'm getting messages late and such. Is there a way to go on my sprint account (from my pc) to check what messages have been sent to me, then check my phone and see if they reached me?
I'm hoping someone can help me out...
Late last week I changed my ROM to HenseMod7 (for VM) - to give it a try and because some of the other ROMs I had been trying were giving me issues with MMS, calls and other things. All was good - or so I thought.
A day or two after I made the change - I started getting text messages from 999-999-9999. These text messages are all gibberish - letters, symbols and numbers mixed together. They always come two messages together and about 12 hours apart (so about 4 per day). I delete them as soon as I see they are in my list.
I saved the contact to my phone and blocked it as a caller.
I went onto the VM website and logged into my account and blocked the "number" for text messages - but since I know it isn't a "real" number - you've probably guessed it - I'm still getting these messages.
Might this be something related to the ROM somehow? I mention that only because all the other ROMs I've tried since I rooted my phone have not had this particular issue. This is the first time I've gone back to a Sense-styled ROM (made particularly for VM) and it's the only time I've gotten these spam texts.
I hesitate calling VM about this issue if it could/might be related to the ROM since I know they are less than helpful when you root your phone.
Any thoughts, ideas, input or help would be so very much appreciated.
Thanks all!

Hi,
Your problem is very strange and honestly, I tried HenseMod and I didn't get this error. It is although true that this ROM has some problems with text messages as I couldn't send a long message (the ROM could not split the long message into several small messages of 160 characters).
I can see only two solutions : either you change of ROM (there are maaanny good ROMs for the Wildfire S) either you reinstall your ROM, verifying you have the good version for your phone model (marvel, marvelc, etc.). Maybe you can also update your radio if you can do it and know how to do it, but I guess it wouldn't be really helpful in that case.
Do you think these messages come from a real person ? Maybe there are some network problems, or maybe the ROM cannot read the message from a particular network / phone, I don't know.
Good luck

just another option it could be a service network message that is not coming through properly. in the uk when you activate your sim card in a new phone uk carriers send you a text message that contains the network settings to get online. if your access point is not already configured
it could be getting scrambled somehow. if you can you could try to contact your phone carrier. go into a hop if possible and ask them if they have kept any logs of sending you service messages. if so maybe try to cross reference them and see?
Thank you both Izzy and Heavy_Metal_Man for your thoughts on this.
Since I first posted the question, I have changed ROMs and the problem has stopped. This is the curious thing. I have been trying different ROMs on my phone since I first rooted it last winter and only with HenseMod have I had this kind of annoyance.
In searching the internet on this - I have found posts by other Virgin Mobile users about this same issue. At one point someone mentioned that it was some kind of message from "Telus" (which is a Canadian provider - but I live in the US - and quite a distance from Canada). Most of those posts were from non-US users.
I do receive updates from VM without issue - so I don't think it's that.
I have a Marvel C phone if that adds anything to the equation.
Thanks again for your input. Anyone else have thoughts?

So the problem really comes from the ROM and it isn't really strange because HenseMod is known to have some SMS bugs
My first thoughts were some kind of loopback error related to cell broadcasts and/or emergency message notifications. If you consider the times you mentioned, have some imagination, and throw in some cross-talk pollution it might even jive with what h_m_m (heavy_metal_man) was saying (in terms of it repeating); however, when I looked at the ROM, it's strictly GB/CM7 and those features weren't incorporated until ICS. So I'm gonna say that h_m_m has the most plausible reason. Thank goodness you found another ROM that works and can move on and leave the problem to those who want to keep trying to figure it out.
Ive had another thought about it. What base version is the Rom made from? If it's based from a carrier specific Rom and then "De-carrierized" it may have been conflicts left in the networking configuration that made the cdma/gsm believe it was in another country and needed roaming data settings. In any event I'm glad your sorted pal

Thank you!
Thank you all for your thoughts and comments on this matter. I truly appreciate it!
As I previously mentioned, once I changed the ROM - the annoying texts stopped. So perhaps (as others have mentioned) it may be a quirk of the ROM itself.
I do like trying different ROMs - makes me feel like I've got a new phone for a brief time, while I still have my little Wildfire S. Its a fun "exercise" for me. Wish some more developers would build for the MarvelC though.
Thank you all again!
Hey guys
I'm having an issue where some of my received SMS messages are getting cut off at the end. The last part is essentially being replaced with the word "null".
Details
-Happens on stock message app (regardless of whether Textra or GO SMS are installed), Textra, and GO SMS
-Affected messages are usually over 160 characters
-Not all messages over 160 characters are cut like this
-Has happened with 2 contacts, one on H2O wireless
-I'm using a rooted T-Mobile Note 3 running stock TW on 4.4.2 with the NE6 build and the NF1 baseband. Was happening before I flashed the new baseband
I've searched for a similar issue, but I haven't found anything like it. Do you guys know what it could be? Thanks in advance:good:
Wow, that's a new one to me....My first guess would be something funky happening on T-Mobile's end. Maybe call Tech Support and have them reset you? That's just a wild guess, though....
Sent from my SM-N900T
I'm having the same exact issue. On tmobile prepaid with my HTC One. No resolution so far with TMobile.
on tmobile chat support now, they tried to get me to master reset. been having this issue for a while now. thought it might be an iphone thing, but turns out android users also have this happen to their texts. im on the t-mobile htc m8 firmware 3.32.531.2 ARHD 22.2. will report back if anything is resolved
so technical care is looking into it. they said they will do something with my signal and monitor it for 3 days. ill get a call back when everything seems fine. will try to report back when they do contact me
ok so they said everything is fine on the network. all of the texts are going thru correctly so my phone SHOULD be downloading and displaying them correctly. so they said it could either be my phone or my sim card. they are shipping me a new sim card. if this happens again i will switch sim cards out. last resort will be a phone replacement. again i will try to report here any further info if anyone is interested
Same exact issue I've had for a couple months now and numerous others. New sim card or replacement phone didn't help (HTC ONE M8)- it's definitely something with T-mobile .. https:// support.t-mobile.com/thread/73266 an active thread about this matter too. They'll keep giving you the run like they've been doing to me the past month. ( i had to make space between https:// and support since I have less than 10 posts..)
