I've had TB since march and just today I haven't been able to receive text messages. I can send, get email and make phone calls. From what I've read, this has been a problem. I guess it just caught up with me. Is there a fix? Will rooting help?
I've tried pulling the battery and sim card with no luck. I want to avoid a factory reset if at al possible. But if I have to, ill just root the damn thing. Any suggestions?
It will take 37 days to receive prem. text.

I would have suggested the battery pull. Do you plenty of memory? I think a reset may be the only way. Have you called customer service?
Going to Verizon today. If I have to do a reset, I'm going to root. Is there a safe way to root the TB without the phone ending up bricked?

What does that mean?
Ok so I had to do a factory reset and I can now again receive texts. But this is a temporary fix. According to Verizon, there is a bug or glitch in the build version 1.3. They claim they are aware of this problem and have an open ticket. Don't know when the fix will be completed.

Not sure if this is a known issue with the phone or just a problem I have been having. Occasionally, I will get people calling me or even sending me a message on Facebook because I didn't reply to their text message. Well, I never got it. I can be having a conversation with someone and all of a sudden, they don't reply. Well, they did reply but I never got it. Other times, ill get the SMS a day later. Is anyone familiar with this, or is this just an issue with my phone I should address to Verizon?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

are you rooted or non rooted?
if you are rooted, what rom are you using?
if you arent rooted, try wiping the phone, if that doesnt work, then complain to verizon to your heart's content.
Sorry, should have explained that, I am not rooted. I was really trying to avoid wiping my phone, but if I have to I will.
Is there anything I can use to backup my data? Will titanium backup work with just the user data and apps?

Both my wife and I seem to be getting duplicate SMS texting errors on our SK4Gs. the same message will arrive sometimes DOZENS of times. It seems like the phone isn't sending the right signal to the T-Mobile server that the SMS Text Message has been received. (Thankfully I have an unlimited TXT plan.)
I troubleshooted with on-line Chat and they said to try SIM Card in another phone at a local T-Mobile store and if the problem still happens, it is a network problem, if not, it is a Phone problem. I did. No Duplicates.
Odd that when I send a text message to myself, there are no duplicates.
Store Rep said next step would be a MASTER RESET of the phone before they would do a warranty exchange.
Is anyone else having this issue. Any suggestions on any system tweaks that can be used to solve the issue?
Since the issue statrted, I upgraded to GeekSMS and still get the same problem.
Yes, is happens to me too. Its annoying but it doesn't happen to often.

Hey guys,
I have actually looked everywhere but none had the answers that worked for me.
My problem is that, if I get a text message, that same text message keeps showing up forever. My friend texted me this morning, and so far I got that same text message more than 80 times so far. I'm running CM7 RC1 for p999. Can anyone help?
This problem is really getting annoying and I'm getting frustrated.
hahahaha!!!!
sorry
if person who send it to u txt msg, was got no reception, or some another problem, and he press "SEND" button -20 times, when he gonna get reception it will be send same msg 20 times
i get multiples also here and there, mostly coming from a Blackberry phone though, could be a coincidence.
I live in a bad signal area and get multiples all the time!

The thing is, my friend did not press send 20 times, I had cm7 nightly 49 installed when this problem started so i thought the problem was with the rom. So then i installed CM7 RC1 and the problem kept on continuing, i keep getting the same text non-stop.
I looked in other forums as well, there werent much help to be found.
Did you wipe? happened to me before on one of the nightlies. Are you using stock messaging ?

Yeah, i did a factory reset, and cleared dalvik cache before going into CM7 RC1. At first when it happened I was using Go SMS Pro, and I thought that was causing the problem... so then I uninstalled it and the problem continued.
I have the stock messaging app installed now and still have the problem.
I think your friend is screwing you over haha, SMS Bomber by any chance? try downloading the Anti SMS Bomber app

I Called up tmobile, they told me a lot of people with the G2X are having the same problem and the only fix is to wait for the update LG is going to release...
I had this problem once before, received 150 copies of the same message, called T-Mobile, they told me it was a problem with the senders phone. Something about it not getting a "message received" message back from either my phone or the system. Told me to have the sender shut down and pull battery. When they rebooted their phone I didn't get the message anymore.

I called tmobile too, they told me plenty of other people have the same problem with the SAME phone (LG G2X). I would understand if I was getting multiple texts from one person, but I get multiples from anyone who texts me. I guess I'm going to have to wait for an update from LG.

Yes, sounds like a different origin for similar problems, I was only getting one message repeated, the others were arriving normally.
After looking around a bit more, a member of xda (shaneledford) figured that an app called organizer widget is causing the problem... its not just that app, its an app that has the same SMS permissions as organizer widget.
This applies to the g2x, I don't know about other phones though...

Has anyone had problems with receiving text messages with the Charge? Every now and then people would ask me why I never responded to their texts and I would never even get them. Sometimes it even happens while having a full conversation via text, the person wouldn't answer my last text and it would turn out that it's my phones fault for not receiving it. Sending texts is fine.
P.S. - I'm using nitro's Eclipse 2.0 rom based off of the latest FP1 update

Yes, I Odin'd back to stock EP4D then took the update to FP1. Then flashed recovery and installed Eclipse 2.0. This problem has been happening for a while now before we were even on gingerbread

I suggest you should:
1. Roll back to FP1 and keep that for awhile see if the issue resolved.
2. If not resolved, contact Verizon support, they can see if there's any network issue or SIM card issue. They can eventually send you a new SIM card or swap out your phone.
It's happened to me too while texting my girlfriend. It happened twice at he most inopportune moments, so we both thought we were mad at one another and stopped answering. Interesting. Are you sure it's a problem with the phone and not just verizon network issues?

Thanks for the suggestion, I might try going back to complete stock this weekend and see if it happens again.
And this is the 2nd sim card (and also the 2nd Charge) I got from verizon, happened with the first sim card (and phone) too, so i dont think its the sim card

I don't think it's the phone because this is my second Charge and the first one did this too. It might be verizon network issue, but I always have service when this happens. It's strange
Just thought of something, I've been using Go SMS for the longest time now. Could it be that Go SMS is the problem? I'm gonna uninstall it for a little bit and see what happens

Good idea! keep everything stock for now.
Alright, to begin. About a month ago I lost my GPS. Meaning, my phone could not locate itself. Move up to the end of last week...I was unable to send text messages, call out or receive calls. I WAS able to receive text messages. Also, I could use my mobile data (i.e. Internet). Then, I lost ALL capabilities and the phone went to asking me if I wanted to switch to GLOBAL ROAMING. Still, at this point I could ODIN flash to stock. However, I could not ROOT the phone. Even with flashing back to stock (unrooting), the phone would not call, or text, etc...Okay, still with me? So, yesterday, I took the phone to the local Verizon Corporate store to have them look at it. A new SIM card did not fix the problem. In fact, when he booted the phone, the boot and splash screen both came up with a picture of a big LOCK (that was unlocked) and the word "CUSTOM". He looked at us and said, "That's not supposed to be there.". It never was until that time (mind you, I had unrooted). The phone wouldn't even boot to the VZW stock recovery. He was awesome to work with and we did so for over an hour. He was going to replace the phone with a new one under insurance (even though I don't have insurance on the phone). But the phone was not in the system. They couldn't find it. "Like it doesn't exist". So, today I am still messing with it and have been all over the internet looking for a solution. I've ODIN'd the stupid thing so many times in the last two days. NOW, I DON'T have the big un-locked LOCK or the "CUSTOM" anymore, but I can't get past the setup screen because the phone is ROAMING! It will ask which language, then, at the next screen, it tells me to wait while it connects to Verizon Wireless and activates itself. At this point, the phone will make a phone call, ON ITS OWN, and I listen to people telling me that I may be eligible for a $100 gift card as well as other advertisements. I used to be able to pull down the notification bar and setup my wifi. Now, I can't do that.
I've tried every stock ROM available all the way back to 4.0.4. At first, that's what I would do and then, just apply the OTAs until i reached 4.1.2. Now, I can't even get that far.
I'm sure I've forgotten some things, but please ask away if that will help clear anything up. I've never had any problems with this device. Could it be a virus? Or is it doomed for the recycler? I have no idea what to do. Thanks.
Also, I remembered, when I was able to see my phone's info it showed I was connected to the network and everything looked as it should and would, normally. I still couldn't send texts, call, etc...on Verizon's customer representative end, they would also say that it would look like the phone was trying to do something but never would.
When I would request my IMEI#, it checked out fine. However, when I would use the dialer for the IMEI check, I would get the IMEI# followed by a /01 or /02. Not sure what that means, but thought I'd throw that out there, as well. Thanks
Now, when I'm in the aforementioned set up screen, my phone direct-calls Alltel. "Thank you for calling Alltel". WTH.

Your phone is shot. Same thing happened to my original s3. Started with gps, then started losing internet, and messages not working then making calls started to go. I tried everything I could. I had to call Verizon and get them to send me a replacement.

Hi. Unfortunately, I couldn't give the specifics because I don't really know. Other than, the last flash I did was Odin back to stock (un-root) and do all the OTA updates (up to 4.1.2). So, whatever all the stock, non-rooted S3s are running. Sorry I couldn't give more info. Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah, I was on the phone from 11pm last night until 1am this morning with Verizon and they couldn't get it working. Put in another "network fix" ticket but haven't heard back. Looks hopeless. My contract is up and I am really looking forward to the S4, but money is tight and I was going to wait a bit before that purchase. I was using an old Samsung SCH-U900 Flipshot as my backup. I don't have to tell anyone, but that sucked. Now, I can't even use that because they need the line clear for the work order. So, I'm helpless. How the heck did I survive before cell phones?!

Welp, as a follow up, sent the phone off to Samsung. They sent it back with an updated PRL...and it WORKS!!! :good:

Hey, no problem and thanks. I was going crazy with the old Droid X. Anyway, because of the outcome, I thought it would be a good reason to post and maybe help others. ORIGINALLY, when we first called Verizon, that's the first thing I wanted them to try. Or at least let me try. I just couldn't get past the language set up screen and the phone making calls on its own. All they would do is a factory reset. Still not sure why the phone went berserk and changed up on me. Oh well, it's back now and I couldn't be happier.
