Seems like I've been having this problem regularly since I rooted/installed Fission ROM. I even SBF'ed back to original, but it didn't seem to fix my issue. I regularly have to reboot my phone to receive text messages.
I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to it. I've tried re-programming my phone, but every time it attempts to reprogram, it makes a weird noise and reboots.
Am I experiencing a hardware problem, possibly? With the radio?
Honestly no idea where to go from here, but inability to receive text messages = huge problem.
Are you using it on Verizon or on a non-Verizon GSM/HSPA network?
I've got the same issue using my milestone1 but milestone2 has more ram, so that problem should'nt appear at this device.
I believe I'm on the Verizon network, I'm using it in places I've always had good coverage.
Update: I re-installed Fission 2.4.3 I had from backup and installed Handcent SMS. So far, so good. I haven't appeared to miss any text messages since then.
Still, it's a very odd situation. Hoping Gingerbread gives some more stability, though I'm not sure why it would matter.
This has happened to me on TMOUS and to a friend as well...I have SGII she has MyTouch 4g...after reboot, a flood of undelivered texts comes in...all with the same time so doesn't help when trying to see when originally sent.
I'm rooted/custom rom and she's bone stock...wondering if its a network issue or android problem
has anyone got the message "cant not receive pictures, balance too low" well i cant believe i got this and i am on the $55 plan.. this shouldnt be possible. does anyone know how to fix it.?
Have you tried to reactive the phone. I haven't ever had this show up, so I am just W.A.G-ing it here.
It sounds like a problem from VM's side... although I have poked around their MMS.apk and it's hard-coded into the software. So possibly not. Although VM is the first group I would blame.
Second might be wifi. If you have wifi on, disable it, get your 3G working, and try receiving again...
I have had this happen to me a few times, it is a glitch in VM's system. I usually get the message with in a few hours after the error message, it has however taken as long as a week to a month in some cases. My suggestion to you is if it happens again you could try calling VM asap. Personally I just ask whoever it is that sent the message to email me it

I have issues receiving MMS as well. I don't get the balance too low message, instead I have to use the stock messenger app rather than handcent (only mostly default settings). Haven't tried tweaking handcent yet to resolve though. If you have handcent try the stock, if the problem exists stock try handcent maybe.
Well I can receive them now. But when I posted this question I didn't take the time to wait it out. It was the least of my concerns. Lol I installed miui 10/30 on triumph. And my mms was and still is working at the moment

Alright, I know this issue has come up over and over again with random G2x's. We know that it must be a hardware issue. I spent a good deal of time tonight working on my brothers phone, I figured with the V21y baseband and the new EB with support for v21y, it just might work. I am hoping someone will read this and have some incite.
Restored phone to 2.3.3 with baseband v21e.
(sms functions)
Upgraded using the LG support tool to 2.3.4 baseband V21y.
(sms functions)
installed latest EB ICS 4.04 nightly for v21y
(sms unable to receive)
installed Buru 2.3.4 v21y (Stock, debloted, rooted v21y)
(sms unable to receive)
reverted to 2.3.3 v21e (bare stock)
(sms functions)
upgraded again to 2.3.4 v21y using the LG support tool.
(sms functions)
at this point I decided to make a backup nandroid, hoping I would save some type of file difference that perhaps a dev could figure out. This is what is weird, before I took the nandroid I did a privacy wipe through the menu system. I than let the phone boot up, shut it down. did the nandroid bu, and than reboot. I was than UNABLE TO RECEIVE SMS's! Just to verify, I reverted back to 2.33 v21e, tested sms again, it works. I than re-upgraded to v21y, again sms worked. Again I factory reset through gb's privacy reset option, and again the sms's fail to receive. What type of personal data could possibly cause sms to function?
Did you double check your APN settings?
I probably should have mentioned this is not the only G2x I have used. I currently use the same phone, and have three other friends using them as well. They are all on ICS, and all have no SMS issues. I did check the settings against mine, and they are the same. I also tried swaping out the sims to make sure that it was not the issue. This is one of the "odd ball" phones that has some type of hardware difference. It seems no one has worked out this issue. If you read through the Dev section, under every ROM you will find random posts of people with this exact issue. These posts always end with people going back to stock, or giving up. Again the phone worked on stock 2.3.4 v21y, before a factory reset..... I don't get it.

I have the same issue, but I'm on Wind in Canada.
I've tried multiple things to try and fix this and none of them has worked consistently. Only thing I haven't really tried is flashing a non v21y baseband, because I could not find the kdz files.
Whenever I use the LG tool and flash the v21y update, sms works.
After that, when I go to a custom ROM (I check with getril), sms stops working after a while, usually after I use Titanium Backup to restore my app and their data.
I gave up and decided to stick with the stock T-Mobile gingerbread, sms worked until I restored my apps with Titanium Backup. I did not restore any system data, just my apps, but I did freeze a few system apps. I read somewhere that wifi-calling needs to be enabled, so I left that on.
The ROMS I've tried include Hellfire (Phoenix and Sandwich), EaglesBlood, CM7.2.
Anyway, I've decided to try again with the LG tool and look at the logcats to see if I can identify the issue. Any updates would be appreciated.
Same issue here, but I _can_ receive SMS when using Wifi. I am using EaglesBlood 4.0.4 (ICS), with v21y baseband. As soon as I turn Wifi off, I no longer get texts. However, I can send them just fine.
Had no issues when on v21e and CM 7.1.
Tried the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24872502&postcount=83, but perhaps that is not meant for the v21y baseband; it didn't help me.
I will keep trying things. I may end up back on a rooted stock or trying to downgrade baseband. Will report back my findings. <sigh> Wanted to get the fast GPS lock with v21y but if this SMS problem is baseband-related it's not worth it...

Thanks for that fix link. I'll try that with my v21y baseband before trying to install any of the other kdz files I downloaded.

Well, flashed the 2.3.4 stock ROM for 21y from TGA_Gunnman, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 - still have the problem. As soon as I turn on Wifi, I receive the texts.
For me there is another correlation - whenever I try to send an sms, my data signal (4g icon in the status bar) goes away. It takes around 30 secs or so to come back.
I got a new SIM card yesterday. I was talking to a T-Mobile rep about my wife's phone which is having a separate issue, and the rep said that our SIM cards were "2g" (that's what it sounded like). They told me to go to a store and they would mark to give me new SIMs for free.
Funny thing is, I had it in the stock ROM still, and when it booted back up in the store, I got the SMS from T-Mobile right away. I then sent myself a text from my wife's phone, and got it right away. All while on 4G, not Wifi.
When I got home, I restored EaglesBlood ICS but nothing changed (SMS still only received on Wifi calling). Going to try stock again, but will have to wait a couple days...
I tried putting my SIM card in my non smart phone and it works for sending and receiving. Just that, usually I get the test messages that I had sent too, but not now. So it is not sending either, I guess.
---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------
I restored v21e using the kdz tool. No test messages came back on T-Mobile, so I restored stock Wind rom with the intention of taking it back.
I tried sending test messages and after about ten minutes, I started receiving them. I tried this on wifi and 3g, both work. Does not work with data and wifi off.
Any clues?

Update : I stopped receiving them after a reboot. This is getting more and more puzzling.
I restored stock T_Mobile and they started working around 15 mins after restoring. Then, I rebooted and it stopped receiving, for a while.
I also installed CM7.2 and while it could send sms, it could not receive. I have pasted the radio logcats here - http://pastebin.com/u/baseband
I hope someone knows from reading these what exactly is going on.

Thanks for that, I have installed the APN backup.
I don't think that's the whole problem because I have this issue even when I am connected to the network.
Update: today I tried messing with the APN settings within EaglesBlood 4.0.4. I used APNs for T-mobile from the database here: http://www.osimood.com/2012/05/news-apn-database/ . However, they did not help, and with the second one (with the proxies) I could not use the browser over regular data (not wifi).
With the default APN, I could usually get SMS with Wifi Calling on. (But not all of my tests would come through...)
So, I restored the stock ROM for 2.3.4 for BB v21y from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274. I still couldn't get any SMS messages over 4g, unlike before with my experience of getting one at the Tmo store after getting my new sim card. Wifi Calling didn't seem to help this time either, after leaving it on for about 20 minutes.
I then decided to call Tmo tech support, and after the intial rep passed me off to a support tech finally, he walked me through these steps:
(Obviously I was on a clean system, so I told him I had done a master reset or full erase. I also mentioned to him that I ran the LG software update tool on my computer with my phone connected, which I had found and that I understood it was to upgrade the "baseband." I told him I hoped I hadn't screwed anything up, but that's when the problem started happening.)
1. Clear out all texts from the inbox (I only had a couple ones that I had sent from the phone).
2. Go to Apps -> Messaging -> Clear data
3. Go home, power off phone.
4. At this point, he said he took the phone off the network / refreshed the connection.
5. Booted back up after a few seconds.
6. Sent a test SMS to my own 10-digit number with 1 in front.
7. Got it, and then the other tests from today started pouring in!
Let me also mention that my voicemail indicator was on in the stock ROM ever since my new SIM. I called VM, but no messages; yet the indicator stayed on. Told him about this, and he said the indicator appears (and I would guess disappears) by the network sending me a silent text message, so it makes sense that it wouldn't go away before. After the steps above, the indicator went away within a few minutes.
I sent a couple more tests, and got them right away. So, I think I am going to stick on this stock ROM... I may have to root it to get TitaniumBackup installed so I can restore all my apps, but fingers crossed that it still works after that! I'm too scared to restore EB or try CM 7.2 with the new BB, but they might work (of course, no bluetooth! separate issue). Oh well, enough hours wasted messing with a stinking phone.
The rep also mentioned it's a good idea to turn off the phone once a day, and leave it off for a few seconds, then power on. This apparently refreshed the connection with the towers -- if you are idle for a long time then they start ignoring you. Weird, but anyway, rebooting never hurt anyone.
Best of luck.

Rooted using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214. SMS still works!
I'll try this as a last resort before going back to v11h baseband and taking the phone to WIND.
Update1: On stock wind ROM, clearing messages data works. Does not seem to work on CM7.2
Update2: Still have problems on stock ROM, even after clearing message data and rebooting every once in a while. Messages are delayed and fail sometimes.
Tried the APN restoring, but that did not consistently work either.
Has the APN issue been fixed ? I searched around, but the various fixes proposed don't work for me.
I have the AT&T version of the G2, its been rooted and I've tried both the Omni and Mahdi roms which i love, but im having major issues with not receiving incoming texts. Some come in, some dont, i have no idea why. When i text myself, they all come through. But i have had mamy people tell me that they texted me and i didnt respond. I did notice sometimes that when i restart my phone, i get a rush of text messages/emails once it powers back on. Also, i've tried both hangouts and regular aosp messaging apps and they are al lthe same. I following OP install directions for all roms and did a full wipe (as i always do anyways) when installing the roms.
Anyone else run into this issue or have any ideas?

Check your APN, I had this issue once before and switched my APN from AT&T LTE to AT&T PHONE. I still get LTE coverage without the SMS issues.
Hi guys! I'm my One on Cricket has been having some issues for quite a while now. About 1 month ago, all MMS communications stopped working, group messaging, and picture sending both don't work at all. So I went to the store, he said to wipe my phone and re-flash my ROM. After that, it worked for about a week until just yesterday when I got a ton of messages from my friends saying "Touch to download". I made sure my APN's were 100% correct and yes they are please don't say anything about that because I know its now aiowireless.net instead of CricketWireless.com. I downloaded "Go SMS Pro" and it said internal issue error 500. I'm stuck and have no idea what to do now and I would prefer to use Cyanogen (OS or mod).
Thanks in advance, Leo
Problem not with oneplus its cricket crappy APN. I had this problem on another phone when I was with cricket. Switched APN everything work for a day then just stop working. Switched to straight talk and never had a problem since. And I have flashed many many roms on previous phone and one plus one and no problems
