For about a 1.5-2 weeks, I have been having trouble with google voice texts. My texts aren't working correctly at all. I can send a text and the person will not get it for days. Also someone will send me one and I won't get it for days. I am running CM7.1 btw. Does anyone know what's going on? Is there anything I can check?

What version of Google Voice are you using? Are you getting a notification from GV that the text isn't going through? The only time I have issues with GV is when I'm in an area that I don't have good cell phone service or wifi. If I try to send a text, it will get stuck on "sending, retrying" until I am in an area with better service.
I have found that if I am unable to scroll through my google voice texts and have it load more conversations, then texts won't be able to be sent. I've never had a gap that long, it's usually just a couple hours at the longest, but I know the reason is due to very low or no internet connection.
I've had the same problem, I'm on remix 1.2 and I uninstalled and reinstalled GV. It seems to help for a while. Then I had to redo the entire rom. So far so good.
I had a similar problem running one of the CM7 roms. It bugged me enough to re-flash and reinstall. After that no issues.

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.
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

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

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.
My one m8 is not rooted or modded in any way and I am having texting troubles. It doesn't matter what app I am in, sms texts take about two minutes to send and I sometimes receive duplicate texts from whoever I am texting. I have 4g with three bars and I dont know what the problem is. I can temporarily fix it by restarting my phone but after a couple minutes it goes back to normal. I have tried using hangouts, the htc default messaging app and verizon message and they all have the same problem.

Not sure whether this is the same thing, but my recipients are complaining about getting two of every text message from me. It doesn't matter whether I let Hangouts take over SMS or not. I've disabled the Verizon messaging app; I'm thinking of deleting it altogether. Wondering whether this is an artefact of the Sprint messaging app that is flashed with the extreme powersaver mode zip file.
First off sorry for bringing up this old thread but didnt see the sense in starting a new one.
Just wanted to add that recipients of my texts seem to pretty frequently receive duplicates. For awhile I was using Handcent but completely removed that and am using the stock messaging app with the same results in both. I have not flashed to extreme power saving mode referenced above as a possible culprit.
So with that said just curious if anyone else is experiencing this or has any possible solutions? I hate calling verizon but I may give them a call this week on it if I dont get any responses here and see what they say.
Bump. I came here to post a thread on the exact same problem. My texts almost never go through. I've googled it extensively but can't find a solution.

I know this is an old thread and I hate bumping something so old.. but as no one had posted a fix in here (and I'm sick of seeing failed to send messages in my sms app) I know of one workaround that has worked for me. In the default (messages) app, if you go into settings for sms and mms and change priority to High sms and mms work much better. I no longer see failed to send messages and they send in a few seconds rather than 30-60. The only problem is, within that same app, you see a red exclamation point next to every message you send. It's an eye sore but it's the only fix I've seen. I've had this issue on every sms app I've tried and just about every rom including stock. Hope this helps someone...
Edit: I tried finding that exclamation to just delete it from the message.apk but it's pulling it from somewhere else it seems. If anyone happens to know off hand please let me know. I'm going to keep looking for that icon to remove it. I wish this want an issue. It's these little things that drive me crazy.
Edit 2: I found it in the htc framework. com.htc.resources.apk for anyone interested. I'm removing that icon from my phone now... Hopefully it all works smoothly.
On average how long does it take you guys to send a text message? I just sent 2 text messages in a row and it took over 5 minutes for both of them to send. Usually takes over 3 but this one took a little longer. Is anyone else having this problem? I am stock rooted running some xposed mods...
Something ain't right. My texts are going out as they are supposed to: instantly.
Running CleanROM with some extra mods and also Xposed for Sense6 toolbox.
I hate to state the obvious, but do you have a low signal? Are you sending pictures or just plain texts? The only time I experience send times this high is when I have a low signal or am trying to send a text in an unusually crowded area. I am also rooted and running xposed, so unless one of the mods you are using has something to do with texts or signal, I would think it would have to be one of the above.

Im usually on wifi for most part of the day, but my signal is usually good. I get solid 4g. I am mostly just sending plain texts but I did just recently get a new job and apparently it is right next to an at&t tower and I literally don't have service for a full 8 hours. I do use wifi there but i still cant receive text messages. Could that have anything to do with it?

Yeah, unfortunately WiFi won't help you at all with plain text messages. If you have no service there, that would explain the huge send times. With Wi-Fi, you'd be better off to use Facebook Messenger or Google Hangouts data messaging feature instead of texting. Those services use data to send and receive messages so the WiFi would be utilized by them.

I'll probably give that a try, but it doesnt just happen at work its pretty much everywhere.
Wondering if anybody else is having any problems sending SMS. Sometimes they send perfect and other times they take a minute then they say message not sent. Usually they resend perfectly fine. I have tried different ROMs and I have the same results. I have tried to use the stock messaging app as well as Hangouts and they both give me the same result. Have also tried removing the SIM card and they worked fine for about a week then they started to randomly not send. Not sure what the issue is and would love others feedback for a solution. Thanks
I have the same issue. I've had it across multiple roms. Good to know I'm not the only one.

I got the same problem to, I figured it's because I live in a area with bad signal but I usually have at least one bar which should be enough to send a text, I guess it's not only a problem with my phone then. I've been using a new messaging app that seems to help a lot here's a link if either of you want to try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-stock-messaging-sliding-ui-extra-t2825144
Its been plaguing me too, with hangouts. Driving me crazy
You r saying regular text don't send or mms? I know if your MMS limit is set higher then 1200 it will not sent. SMS I'm clueless tho 1st I have heard of this
I too am having the same issues, stock, un-rooted and using message+, stock app and hangouts.
Also, I have been sending and receiving the same message multiple times. My message wont send, then i'll delete it, resend it, and the recipient gets it 2-3 times. Or out of no where I'll receive the same massage 3-5 times...
I had hoped rooting and a custom rom would be the answer but I guess not :crying:

I have this issue with sending pics (MMS). Text works fine but the MMS is not as smooth as the old iphone. Got to admit iphone ranks supreme when it comes to messaging. Wish there was a way is flash imessage onto our M8s.

Try Disabling Google Voice+
What finally fixed it for me was disabling Voice+ (Which allows apps to send SMS through Google Voice).
Messages were automatically switching to my GV number. When I disconnected the GV account, I couldn't send any SMS at all. I could still receive, though, which led me to GV+.
It was driving me absolutely insane.
