Old text messages keep sending or receiving. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

My wife, daughter and I all have Att smartphones. The past week or so we have been receiving old text messages or delayed text messages. I live in Chicago and have Att service. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this and how to fix it.

Just started happening to me a couple of days ago. Received a text that was date stamped 2 days prior. Also noticed that I get texts that show up in the notifications but not in the message app. Only way to access them is to open through notification bar. I also live in the Midwest and have At&t service.

Sounds like it's an AT&T issue.

My thoughts exactly. Messaging was fine until then. No changes to phone before or during the period the late messages were arriving.

I just got a text yest that was dated from thurs..I thought my phone was messed up...glad I ain't the only one

You guys should also check out if your AT&T message backup & sync is the culprit. It has a tendency to sync and bring back very old messages. I disabled it (hence why it's grayed out in the pic).

AT&T backup was off. (Never have used it). Think was an AT&T issue as mentioned earlier. Haven't had issues lately.

If you're using handcent, under settings, did you check the box that prevents re-sending of a message?
Its happening to me also, I been receiving same text message from various senders since about 1pm! its really pissing me off!!! My setup is in my sig.
Just stock SMS. I even loaded handcent and selected don't resend and it still does. Help

Have you tried going into settings -> applications-> manage-> then force stop mms, then clear data and cache? Also if that dosen't (i think it should) remove all messages from your inbox you should do that also.

Just talked to sprint and the problem is how the SMS gets stuck in a loop on their servers. They asked if i was running any foreign Rom (of course not), as that can cause the corruption. The will have to fix it on their side.

Sprint fixed my SMS from hell. They tried to tell me it was the phones, but considering the sending phone was off, and the receiving phone was still getting them, I proved them wrong. Tier two took over and flushed something on their side and the text messages finally, thankfully stopped.

MMS not coming through

I have continued issues with receiving picture texts.... I almost always have to tell the sender to send it once more for it to come through. I've also noticed my H bars turning from Blue to Grey when this happens.... Any ideas as to what could be causing this? At&t looks dumbfounded every time I go in or call about this....

TBH, it sounds like an ATT issue.
I know the common thought is that grey bars means lost connections to Google, but when that happens to me, I have always lost network connectivity.

Remove your Google account then add again. Reboot.
Edit, custom ROM? I went back to stock because of many random issues since 4.1.2 was officially released.

mms is either apn related problem or just bad coverage (no good data in area)
you can google different apn settings to try
I have to use go smd to view mms depending on what ROM I'm using.

Uncheck auto retrieve and manually download them when they come. ThTs what I do on my vzw gnex as they sometimes get stuck if it have it auto and don't finish downloading.

Sms disappearing

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'm having the same thing happen to me and the only way to fix it is restart my phone
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
At least I known in not the only one now. This restarting my phone crap gets old fast. Plus restarting once doesn't always fix the issue.
I know others have had this problem. Please come forward!

This is a bump. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Seriously, can't i get someone who knows these phones good to post on here? I am really getting tired of having to restart my phone whenever i send a text message...it's getting old FAST...
I haven't seen this issue, what app and rom are u all running?

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.

I didn't see this in your OP, but did you try to clear data, and cache from Messaging app?

On stock I had the issue. I tried restores and then flashing. I did a trick someone posted in another thread for the mmssms.db and im waiting to see if I have the issue again. So far so good

Text messages failing to send after JB update.

I have been noticing all day today that randomly text messages will fail to send with full bars of service. Anyone else experiencing this problem after updating to JB? Never had a single text message fail to send prior to the update.

My husband got this problem. He kept sending me the same message multiple times because he did they kept failing to send.

having this same problem too after the JB update. Stock Rooted Rom and unlocked. Might be an issue with the new radios.
Same. When the messages were "failing" they were actually getting sent three times in a row. I also had trouble receiving messages. This was the first time I have observed this problem.

Try updating prl
failed messages
When flashing is done, you have to update PRL and Profile.. it should fix those issues.
This is done through settings-->> system updates
I am already using the latest prl. I made sure of updating that and the profile right after the jb update. Seems like the problem has gone away for now at least. Hasn't done it today at all.

Same issue here, but sporadic. I also notice I am having network errors at times when trying to do any one of the system updates, but again, sporadic.
Has everyone got their jb update ? Still haven't received mine.

I'm having the exact same problem. It seems like it happens the most when I have a bad signal but it will also randomly happen with full bars.

i have the exact opposite problem lol. in bad reception my text gets sent about four times
That's what I meant. When I have bad service it will say sending for a long time and sometimes it will say it failed but it sends multiple messages.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
1st thing I did after flashing the update/radios was to update profile and prl. Happens sporadically here too.
other type of data issue.. but similar
Ok so my problem is that when using k9 mail and i try to email an exsiting contact, it fails every time. If i copy and paste the address into the email field, it works just fine.. Also my texting sends but it's slow to send... used to be semi instant, but takes several seconds. Any ideas, i have. updated PRL and Profile several times.
Texting
The only problem I have had with texting since the update us that when i try and hit send after typing text its greyed out not green...usually ill exit out of the stock app and go back in and do it again and it will send....usually have that problem few times aday...
Okay so this problem only happens when I am at work with decent signal. Doesn't happen anywhere else that I have noticed. Didn't happen before jb update. It is also sending multiple times my gf says.

See this happens to me at first when i was stock on ics. Messages triple send with latest prl and profile even though it showed sent once. It stopped with a different ROM. Both on lifeless and imperium initiative.
Same here. Texts often fail to send. And it's a toss up, sometimes when it says it failed, it is received and sometimes not. What I've figured out, is that it's mostly on short messages, consisting of 1-3 words! Long messages almost always send fine. MMS, no problem either. I've updated profile and PRL and done a soft reset. I've tried other messaging apps, like Chomp and GoSMS, no dice. Never happened until the JB update.
I made a thread about this a week ago. I did not see this one.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205523. Still no fix from sprint or have I found any true fixes on here yet. Has to do with the new radios that came with jellybean. This seems to be more problematic in the Chicago area. The only option currently is to go back to ics. It would be nice if someone could figure out how to install ZV7/ZV8/ZV9 radios on jellybean.
Make sure you contact sprint, so they are aware of the problem.

APN settings correct? I had issues before even with correct APN settings though. Ultimately I called AT&T and they fixed the issue.. I have no clue what they did but it just started working a few hours after the call.

I called them 2 times today went through every step and after the first call I wound up wiping my phone and flashing a ROM, I called them again after that and this time they told me they're having issues with mms in my area. I guess the first time they didn't realize it. If it's not working in 3 days guess I'm calling them back.
