Have any of you heard of this?
Yesterday my phone decides it's NOT going to send SMS through the stock messaging app. I don't get an error, it appears as though it sends, but my recipient never receives it.....most of the time. Sometimes they go thru, sometimes they don't. It seems to mostly NOT go thru.
If the SMS does NOT go through, I can never see it in Google Voice.
If I use the Google Voice SMS app on my phone, recipient receives 100% of their SMS, same with Web interface.
If I disable my Google Voice account via the web and sign out via my phone, my recipient receives 100% of their SMS using the stock app.
I have all the settings nailed. Google Voice is set to sync, background data enabled, etc.... It was, has been working flawlessly up until yesterday with nothing on the phone changing.
I have wiped, reflashed, tried different ROMs, etc....
Today I called Sprint, they re-provisioned things, then basically said since it's a third party app they can't help. I want to beat my head against a wall here.
Anyone have any idea of what the problem could be?
I can't offer any help but I can tell you I saw the exact same problem all day on the 16th and 17th. I've since switched the Google Voice app to use it's own notifications and turned off the text notifications. For the time being, I'm not even using the stock messaging app.
I remember Sprint having an SMS problem a few months ago one afternoon, but it wasn't specific to GV. Maybe something in their GV integration system is a little wacky right now. People said they got about half of the messages I was sending before I switched to the GV app full time.
Good to know I'm not the only one. Looks like a couple of other people have the same problem over in the Google help forums. I de-integrated my account for almost two days, I'm getting ready to re-integrate it now, we shall see what happens. The support for these phones is god awful. If this doesn't resolve it I'm driving to the nearest corporate store and returning it through their window.
LOL! I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but if you do decide to "return" it, you may want to attach a brick or something. This phone feels way to light to do any damage without a little extra help.

Here's a little update. Not really a good one, but whatever...
All of the text messages I had tried to send though the stock messaging app must have made it to Sprint at least because they all just dumped en mass upon their intended recipients. I got a pile of very confused responses.
Maybe the issue has been resolved. I'll switch my settings back and experiment a little.

That didn't happen to me, but it does appear that my texts are going through. There's one person who says she never gets some, but I can see they're sycning to GV now, where they weren't before. Everyone else is getting my texts too. I have no idea what happened but I'm a little at ease knowing someone else had the problem. I hope it never happens again, I rely on SMS for my business.
Hey there, I hope you're doing great!
I'm creating this thread because I was wondering if the issue I am about to describe is a known bug or if it only happens with me.
The problem I am experiencing is sporadic, as I cannot determinate a specific cause for it; it sometimes happen right after reboot, and sometimes after long usage, after a call, simple idling, etc.
Of course the issue is that when I receive an SMS message from a contact, I see it pop-up at the top as a notification, but when I want to see it in the threaded conversation, it is simply not there. I can continue texting, and they continue receiving my messages properly, as do I... only by looking at the top status bar though, because other than that, the threaded conversation remains the same during the whole exchange.
My phone is not rooted, it is a brand new LG-P999 from Videotron (They call it the LG Optimus 2X here!) and it runs Froyo 2.2.2!
Thank you very much for your help, and of course, excuse me if this issue has already been looked into! Otherwise, have an awesome day!
Is it possible you are using a third-party text app? I ask because I mainly use Google Voice for my texts, but every now and then someone will text my phone number, which of course means it goes to the phone's message app. As you mentioned, you get the notification and can respond just fine. However, if I don't pay attention, and go to my Voice messages, their messages will not appear, and I have to switch to the built-in message app to see their conversations.

Thanks for your reply, but I am actually using the stock SMS app!
Hmph, started looking into the "Messages" app settings and found something called "Text messages on SIM card" and found all the messages I was "missing".
What causes this?! =O
*EDIT*
I looked on the Internet a bit but found nothing pertaining to the LG-P999/G2X. I, however, found information on the matter saying that this is usually caused by reaching the maximum capacity of SMS messages in your phone. I have about 120 messages all in all, which is certainly a very small number! I also have about 4.50GB of free space on my phone!
Thanks for the help!
This is a known issue from LG... Call the tech support and open a ticket.
Voicemail notif is causing this issue... default storage is change to simcard by the OS...

Thanks a lot, it is definitely a relief to know that this is a known bug. Do you know how we can change the default storage of the voice mail, or I need to root?
Thanks!
I just wanted to add that I successfully found a permanent workaround to this problem by installing GoSMS Pro! No more "disappearing" text messages

I would like to know if the Received notification in messaging (sms/mms) means that the recipient actually got the message or if it simply got sent?
The reason I'm asking is this. My Girlfriend has an I phone and she has blocked my phone number from calling her. But, when I text her, my phone gets the notification saying that the message was received by her phone. It doesn't give the "Read" notification because Android and I phone aren't compatible for that function.
Does "Received" mean she is getting the messages? Or that the message was delivered, but not necessarily received by the phone ?
This is killing me not knowing if I'm being ignored, or if they are being blocked like the phone calls.
Thanks to whoever has the correct answer. Please don't speculate. This is very important.

Received comes only after the recipient gets the message. It'll take a while if there's no network coverage!
I appreciate you answering my post. As small and insignificant it may seem from an outside view, it is so helpful in my current situation, way more than you could imagine.
Thanks

Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm only getting very few messages through when people have told me they've text me, I have a few theories as to why this would be happening, but hoping someone has a solution:
As I've come from an iPhone, their phone is still trying to send as an iMessage
Google hangouts doesn't work properly yet
I've just ported over from O2 to Vodafone (serious mistake) which is causing the problem
If it's the latter I'll have to take the problem up with Vodafone, but just wondered if anyone else was getting a similar issue with Hangouts and normal messaging?
Cheers,
Joel
i can assure you it's 99% most likely that it's an imessage issue. i've gone through the hassle of trying to force a sign off of the imessage service and it's a major pita.
you need to get a hold of an iphone, and turn off the imessage service, it should start defaulting to sms on other people's iphones in a few hours/days, but it will immediately start giving your iphone using friends an error that the imessage can not be sent, they can then tell it to send as an sms, or if they have the option to revert to sms when imessage doesn't work it will do it automatically for them.
imessage is such a horrible system, and not being able to manually log out of it is very very annoying

Great thanks for the help. I'll give it a go and see if it's any better in a few hours.
No problem, it took almost a week for it to really stop trying for me

I'm on KK 4.2 and Hangouts continually doesn't save text messages sent to me. An app called Ghostly SMS and Mighty Text will show me a couple messages every so often that never show up in Hangouts. I noticed Hangouts also has an "Import SMS" option in settings but it doesn't resolve the problem. Have you found a fix for this?

I"m having an issue also. i've never had an iphone so i know thats not the problem..
I started noticing that when I send out group messages to my friends.. i get maybe 60 to 70 % of the responses.. I only know because my wife shows me the messages she received and i'm missing several almost consitantly.. it makes me wonder if i'm missing texts that are sent straight to me.
I thought originally it could have been hangouts.. so i switched to 8SMS.. still continued.. now i'm using the Stock AOSP messaging app and still missing texts..
As far as I know i'm not having issues with calls or missing calls..
i'm praying its just a matter of getting this mysterious 4.4.3 update...

Get Ghostly SMS from the Play Store. It captures all of your sms messages so even if Hangouts or any other app misses a message you'll see the notification from Ghostly. I turn off the sound notification in Ghostly, by the way, so my Nexus 5 doesn't get annoying with beeps. The "Move to Inbox" feature doesn't work on KitKat though
Toggle your default SMS "Account to show SMS in"

My wife had this problem on her N5. Solved it by going to Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it to SMS only account. Click back confirm the missing SMS messages appear. Then go back into Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it back to your gmail account to re-merge the SMS texts with your Hangouts messages.
Hey guys. I'm using hangouts but this happens with any SMS program. My phone vibrates as if I received a text, but the text never appears. Ex: earlier my girlfriend texted me, the phone vibrated, but I never saw the text and it's not there.
I've tried updating PRL and Profile, switching sms programs, everything I can think of. Is anyone else having this problem.
Using Cataclysm btw.

Try deleting all sms apps, except ie. Hangouts. Make sure Hangouts is configured to receive textmessages. Send a message to your phone and check which app gives you a notification.
You can also try sms backup and restore app to see if there are any textmessages on your phone.
Tried all that but thanks! Just did the backup and there's no messages that aren't in my sms program. Frustrating
Has anyone else had this problem occur?

question: are most of the texts you look to receive, coming from apple iphones?
Apple's Revenge: iMessage Might Eat Your Texts If You Switch To Android
"When my best friend upgraded from an iPhone 4S to a Galaxy S4, I texted her hello. Unfortunately, she didn't get that text, nor any of the five I sent in the following three days. My iPhone didn't realize she was now an Android user and sent all my texts via iMessage. It wasn't until she called me about going to brunch that I realized she wasn't getting my text messages. What I thought was just a minor bug is actually a much larger problem. One that, apparently, Apple has no idea how to fix. Apple said the company is aware of the situation, but it's not sure how to solve it. One Apple support person said: 'This is a problem a lot of people are facing. The engineering team is working on it but is apparently clueless as to how to fix it. There are no reliable solutions right now — for some people the standard fixes work immediately; many others are in my boat.'"
No, no one this is happening with has an iPhone or ever did. All pure android accounts. And I sure as heck never had an iPhone
Try it with another SIM card in your phone and put your card in another phone, heck, just switch cards with your girlfriend's phone and see what happens :laugh:
