Frequently I am unable to send SMS messages and it repeats the alert in the notification bar, but a lot of the time the recipients still receive it, multiple times. Has anyone else had this problem?
I've had the same thing happening 3-4 times of a few hundred sent messages since I got my Desire three weeks ago. Haven't got any explanation though, but it's happened to me while roaming and/or in areas with poor coverage. I've also experienced that a couple messages sent to me, never got here. Can make a man paranoid
I've got a stock, unbranded Desire in Norway for the record.

This morning I started having an issue with calls, SMS, and possibly email notifications not being received on my phone. My gf called and sent two texts that I didn't get. Then I called her and the messages popped up a few seconds after she picked up. Same thing happened later in the day again. I'm pretty sure that I had signal the entire time. I was even browsing the web and downloading some updates from the Play store between the time the texts were sent and the time when I made a call and the texts arrived on my phone. She says that when she called me the call went straight to voice mail. It seems like the phone wasn't registered on the tmo network until I tried to make a call at which point the network became aware of it and sent the texts. The phone is rooted and running stock UVLH2. Any ideas what could be going on?
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.

Me too had been having this issue lately.
I see it as the sandy effect here on the east coast. has been improving slowly though.

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.

Good morning everyone and Happy New Year!
Does anyone have issue with Text Message being slow? I'm using the stock Message App come with AT&T. It always take about at least 3 or 4 second to complete the sending (i.e. the spinning circle on every text). No matter how short or long the text is. Especially, group text is very slow. I think it's not the Network issue because I had Note 3 before and never have the issue.
Might do you some good to reprogram your phone. I do not know the number you dial for reprogramming though... Call AT&T or visit a local store.
I don't have issues with slow text messages myself. I have issues with my phone just randomly not getting them until I reboot. Any text messages sent between the time it stopped getting them and I reboot are lost. Not sure what causes it to happen. Happened a few times within a month then went months without happening and then just recently happened again...
Since I've had my LG g4, I've constantly had problems receiving and sending texts. I've used the stock messaging+ app that comes with Verizon phones, handcent, go sms, textra, chomp SMS, evolve SMS, and a handful of other standard SMS apps.
Every single one of them has both a huge delay in sending and receiving texts. Everything except the stock Verizon messaging app has people receiving multiple texts from me hours, even days later.
My wife continues to get my texts I've replied to the night before the next day, and even 2 days later. Often the same text repeated multiple times at different time periods. At first i thought it was only iPhone users, but i realized i have the same problem with Android users, even those that i know have Verizon, like my boss, CO worker and mom. All of my texts to and from them are delayed. The only issue i don't have is with WhatsApp, or a text service that had its own server and texting system other than the standard sms.
Has anyone else experienced this, or know what the issue may be, with a fix for it? I'm actually considering going to either sprint or t-mobile because it's become a huge problem.

having a similar issue with my LG G4. Were you able to find a solution?
