sms out of order

friend switched from iphone to inspire; her text messages show in the thread out of order.
any thoughts?
stock sms.
thanks.

bump....nobody?

Did she go to an AT&T store to do the switch, or did she switch her self? Sounds like there may be an issue with her account. I would have her call AT&T either way.

Your friend have check the APN setting?

i don't see how that sounds anything like a problem with the account??
I have the same issues every once in awhile. Is it every time for her? It seems like i only have the problem if i respond to a message within the same minute as i received a message.

at and t handled her upgrade
her phone is not rooted; completely stock.
sounds like it happens often, but she is busy at work and a lot of texts to contractors (so the reply time would be pretty quick)
how does she go about checking the apn?
apr. the replys.
edit: may just tell her to ask at and t

I have the same issues no matter what ROM im using. I think it has to do with the Sense sms app

i thought the same thing but our secretary has an evo with t mobile (htc) and never has that happen....
im at a loss....

Just asked my 14 yr old daughter and she said hers never show up out of order. I don't text too much so I had to defer to her.
If the timestamps are correct and they are out of order that is strange. You could try gosms or handcent as I believe they simply order them as they occur.

apr. that....kids ought have an idea better then us id guess.
seems like they text a lot. my last phone i had text blocked....lol...
ill tell her to try handscent or go sms....thanks again....

I have the same problem with my inspire 4g. like when I check my account balance from my bank. The text I get back from my bank is before the one I sent to my bank. It only happens when the texts are in the same minute. It also happens while testing my wife a lot.
ie
Bank 9:06am: Checking Balance: 2,000,000
Me 9:06am: Balance

I've had the same thing, except my balance says something a liiiiiitle smaller hah

Get the app in the market called SMS Time Fix, install it, run it and put a check in the box for Active and under it set the Adjustment Method to USE PHONE TIME. Works great for me! There is the occasional message that comes in out of order but for 99%, the time is correct. When you restart the phone, just go in and make sure the check in the box is for active and make sure your app killer or task manager doesn't shut it off.

I called and he supposedly didn't see any issues. Reset some things on their end. Had me turn the phone off. Seems to be working right at the moment. Suppose to give me a follow up call Wednesday

Step 1) Turn on screen
Step 2) slide ring down
Step 3) Press and hold power button
Step 4) press restart
Presto! its fixed!
But seriously, I couldn't send any MMS, just restarted and now it works again.

Do you have WiFi on ? Personally I think the WiFi data transfer is contributing but can't back it up
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Noticed this morning. Left the house and was 15 miles away yet it still said connected to my home WiFi. I really think it has something to do with trying to send via data while WiFi is on. I don't think its switching over properly
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

the only issue i have with the messaging app is how it sometimes resets the text size. very strange.

Yea I tried sending two mms the other day while on WiFi at my house. Both failed. I was eventually able to send them but I think it has something to do with the WiFi.

are you in the app that came with the phone? i'm trying to figure out if it's a function of the size limitation. looks like it's at 300k max for mms in the basic app. handcent's ceiling for an outgoing mms is over 3x higher.

The problem that I having is receiving MMS from iPhone users. I wonder if it has something to do with the 600k size limit within the settings menu? I have had to resort to asking people to e-mail them to me.

the only time i've heard of iphone to one x problems had to do with people taking their micro-sims from their iphones and moving them to the one x. the iphone has to be wiped first to clear the relevant sim card settings or else messages from other iphone users never showed up.

I sent an MMS Monday night and while my phone said it went through, the recipient never received it. Then on Tuesday morning my sms stopped going out and I couldn't make an out bound call connect so I restarted my phone. That fixed the sms and calling issue, and five minutes later I got a text from my friend telling me my Monday night MMS finally went through. I don't think I ever turned WiFi on during all of this but can't remember for sure.

I'm having issues sending a MMS from the Gallery. When I send a pic from the Gallery and share through MMS it doesn't send it. It still shows in the waiting queue. When I select "retry sending" and sends it immediately.

I'm having this problem. My gf is trying to send me an 800 KB file thru MMS and its simply not going thru. It's telling me:
One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal.
I look in the MMS settings for the phone, and the limit is 600 KB! What is this bull****?! How can iPhones have unlimited MMS size? Is this a carrier restriction?

I am having the same issue with MMS. When I try to send an MMS its really a crap shoot as sometimes it goes through and sometimes it does now. When I select to retry it works.

don't know the answer, but just for comparison, as someone on at&t prepaid on a stock int'l one x, in the native messages app the max size is 300kb! however, if you choose handcent, you can set it much higher - with a warning that it could affect costs for those with light data usage plans.

Why on Earth do people use MMS? Am I missing something here?

Every time a device gets AOSP (for the first time) I see a flood of posts whining about MMS being broken. (I've had an Evo 4G and an Evo 3D and saw this on both when they first got AOSP, now I see it in the unofficial CM9 thread here.)
Why MMS? What's good about MMS that you can't get with any other app or service?
Did I miss the train?

Do you know what mms is? From your post it doesn't sound like it.

Yea.. I gather that as well.

How else would one sext and send nudes?

1) It's universal.
No matter what phone the other person is using, chances are it supports MMS.
2) It's in-line.
Unlike email, you can just go "Here's a picture" instead of "I just sent you an email, you should go check it out"

I know its a serious question but made me laugh a bit. "Why God why!!" Lol

My girlfriend and I send MMS's (plural?lol) all the time. Sometimes she wants to send me something she saw or maybe a new outfit she bought With email I don't always have autosync on for battery life and its just that extra hassle. If I'm trying to send something pretty high resolution I will use email though since it doesn't compress it.

its the easiest and fastest way to send a pic to a person on another mobile phone, any other mobile phone, any OS, any platform, any carrier.
was this a joke?

FTFY

I guess I just don't get why you couldn't just email pictures or videos. All you have to do is tap after you've taken your picture and the UI asks how you want to share it. I don't know a single human being who still uses MMS outside of these forums and maybe my mother, who keeps buying feature-phones. :^\

It's easier to send a quick picture to a phone than through email. I don't know much of my friend's email addresses off the top of my head

Almost not wanting to dignify the question... But....
Mms is also used as a group chat in messaging apps like gosms. Allows you to text multiple people at once and everyone in the chat can see everyone elses response. Just fyi

Here is a better question: Why do people still use CDMA carriers such as verizon and sprint? SIM lacking carriers are almost non-existant outside the USA.

Why MMS??? Then why sms ?? Yeah you could SMS but then if u wanted to send a pic or video then you would have to open a separete app which takes more time mms is simply faster

Please explain to me...

Hey guys,
Could someone please explain to me why the HOX is so inferior to the iPhone 4S as far as sending and recieving pictures via mms and email. I very rarely am able to actually recieve pics sent by text, and I have to send pictures individually over email versus 2,3 or even 4 pics per email on the iPhone. Video's are totally out of the question on the HOX. This is really the only complaint I have with the HTC. Is thee anything i can do, or are we just screwed?

I send and receive images all the time with no issues. Perhaps you're misplacing blame?

It's not that hard to add another contact in the "To" line in the Gmail app.
And are you using a different SMS app? Maybe it's AT&T, I only get EDGE on my HOX cause I'm on T-mobile.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X

Yeah I've never had a problem with mms messages either, and I can also attach as many pictures to an email as I want. I think you've got something else going on because these definitely aren't HOX related issues.

He probably doesn't know how to use anything besides an iPhone, I just sent an email to 3 people without having to remake the same email.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X

I don't use the stock mail app, but gmail allows me to attach plenty of pics. My brother has a 4s, even he can't send large vids via email, we use YouTube for that.
Are you stock or rooted or ....can you be more specific?

No problems here bro. Stock messaging app and gmail work fine too... So does k-9 mail..
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

Not receiving sms/mms probably has to do with the carrier and not the phone. I've never had any issues sending or receiving picture messages.
As far as sending multiple pictures per email, this isn't that hard either. Open gallery, press the share button and chose your method (example Gmail), then select the pictures you want to attach and hit next. Gmail will open with all the pictures attached and all you gotta do is enter email address (one or multiple).

Pretty easy to see how you got to 2,000+ posts. Do you ever add anything constructive?
Misplacing blame? What a bunch of over sensitive girls. I asked some simple questions and asked for advice. I have never been able to get a video to play from gmail on this phone. I am constantly having people ask me if I got the pictures they texted me. Several times today I tried to email 4 pictures at once. Every time it failed. Finally had to end them individually and they all went through. I'm on AT&T. Handcent SMS and the stock ICS email app.
Metalhead, you seem to be the only one mature enough to give a straight answer. What do you suggest I look at to fix these problems?

I have had the same problem with the mail app connected to exchange on wifi, it wouldn't let me send an email with pics. It might just be the stock rom causing issues.

Need some more information. Rooted? stock? rom? Handcent works fine for me, i'm rooted, can add multiple pics, it does resize them cos its an 8mp camera, i use the gmail mail app and can easily send to multiple recipients with multiple attachments. Dont use the ICS mail app, like gmail one better.

"Misplacing blame" was a fancy way of calling you an idiot. You didnt ask specific questions as much as you did complain and compare the one x to the iPhone.
Maybe if you weren't a retard, you'd be able to figure out how to use your device. Good luck, chief.

Coming from an iPhone, I definitely recommend the JB Messaging (formerly ICS Messaging) from the Google Play Store.
Pair this with SMS Popup and it is really great, especially compared to BiteSMS.

OP, your scenario is strange. I haven't had either of the issues that you are experiencing since I've had my HOX. MMS messages send and receive just fine for me and I have no problem sending multiple pictures via the Gmail app.
In the past I have had these issues on other phones, but it was usually due to AT&T network issues. Have you tried holding the power button down for ten seconds? This is supposed to simulate a battery pull. Beyond that, maybe a master reset?

Thanks for the heads up! JB Messaging is awesome.
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL on Rogers.

As far as the email issue, some more info would help. Is it gmail, exchange, hotmail, or what?
You have to remember that you're sending what can be large files, and you can end up with a size limitation there, which largely depends on your email provider and what they allow/tolerate.
As to the MMS issues, do try stock. 3rd party apps have been known to not always play nice on various devices, particularly brand new ones, and especially brand new ones running custom ROMs. So it could be that, or carrier issues, or the other party's carrier, etc.
Finally, before completely knocking the phone and pissing off people who a) like said phone and b) actually know a few things that can help, check the attitude and tone it down. Don't get pissed at the responses you get when you march in the door and, quite loudly, let your ignorance show.

Actually.... Some of the most insightful things I've heard have been from drunk people.
I haven't had the photo problem, the video issue was just that my files were too large, I toned down the quality and was fine.

MMS pictures received super crappy

So I've tried using the stock app and 8sms but anytime someone sends me a picture, it comes in super small and very pixelated. Sender can be an iPhone or Android. I've also noticed if someone sends me multiple photos, the last one or 2 is in black and white and not color.
Any suggestions?

This has happened to me too and not found what causes it. I also miss some videos people send. I believe it has to do with the 1200kb max MMS can receive. Wife sent a 1800kb video and everyone got it but me. All of them on verizon, half with android and other half with iphone. Im hoping we can make that max even bigger.

Does anyone know for a FACT the file limit size Verizon will allow it's customers to send via mms??? This would help
Taking 10 seconds out of my day found this. Seems Verizon stats that the limit is 1.2mb which is 1200k correct? So that's our limit to send and receive no matter how high we want to make the setting on the phone, network will only do this?

I installed Textra earlier today and it seems alot better.

Was looking into this as well. I use GoSMS and the pictures from group texts are mad crappy.
I was wondering if a custom ROM would fix it but I guess not.
Anyone getting better results with another messaging app?

I am using textra and it seems to be better.
