Not getting some new text notifications

Anyone else notice that they're not getting notifications for some received texts on the Inspire? It seems to be random, and I don't notice the new text until I open up the messaging app and see it there, I don't get sound/vibrate or anything in the notification bar. I'm using the Inspired ROM and rooted but I don't think that's the cause of the problem.

I noticed the same thing this morning. I'm completely stock for the moment.

Well, I guess I'm glad it's not just me. I hope somebody has a fix for it.

I only sent a test message last night after I got the Inspire and it was received and I was notified without issue. Then I installed Handcent and turned off stock messaging app Notifications and Handcent has been working fine.

Rooted with a dhd rom here. I didn't think I was having this problem but checked my messages and sure enough I had one from a hour ago I never got a notification about..... the gf soooo isn't going to believe me its my phone again.

I had a similar issue where my 2 Gmail accounts weren't giving notifications when I received new email. Also my Sense clock/weather wasn't always updating the weather when I unlocked the phone.
I ended up doing a factory reset and reinstalled all my apps manually and everything appears to be fine at the moment.

Yep, same problem. Seems to only happen later in the day?

Anything guys?? This is really frustrating

Really need help with this. Bump.

I've had the same thing happen. I was in the middle of a conversation and it seemed like the other person just disappeared. Was going to send them another text when I noticed they had actually responded.

The issue clearly hasn't been resolved... It's happening to me as well. No notification. Or I get it, hear it and feel it, and then unlock my phone and no notification in the top bar or on the msg icon on my homescreen. But its def there when I open msgs....this is very frustrating as I've been patiently waiting by my phone for an answer about a new job. Has anyone had a fix for this? I'm completely stock no root. I'm about to go on to ATT and have words with them if it can't be resolved I'm geting a new phone...this is stupid we can't get basic functionality to work....out of the box.

You could try using a different SMS app like Handscent that does notifications itself. I think Go SMS does notifications too.

Or they could admit there is an issue and fix it. I shouldn't have to get a third party app to do basic phone functions like sms and phone. Wtf!

Or you could root your phone instead of expecting AT&T to fix something when it takes them months just to release updates for things that should have been included in the first place.

Well its not really on ATT its on HTC. And besides rooting would void my warranty. And if I get this job ill be leaving the country, in which case id like to return the phone as I doubt it will do me much good in the Netherlands. Either way. Shoulda worked correctly out of the box. It's an HTC sense/Rom issue not an ATT service issue.

Receiving Duplicate Text Messages

I know this is probably something that can't be fixed without working with T-Mobile, but they can't seem to figure out what the problem is and I'm getting desperate
Whenever someone sends me a text I get duplicates of it over and over until I turn on WiFi calling, which seems to work fine. I have had this problem with two different G2x (I sent the first one back thinking it was a hardware issue). This also does not happen on my Nexus One (I moved the SIM card back over and the issue disappears).
I am thinking it has to be something to do with the communication between the G2x and my T-Mobile cell network. Any information anyone has about this that could help me help T-Mobile find the issue would be great.
Thanks.

You don't have another messaging app installed, do you?

First thing I did when I got the replacement was sync Google contacts and tell someone to text me and it started happening. I factory reset the original one I had 3 times and the problem persisted.

Are you running juicedefender? I get duplicates of some messages because juicedefender shuts off mobile data, so the network doesn't receive the notification that the MMS was received. It will try and resend every 5 minutes for a specified number of times until the message is received.

Nope, had no apps installed. Plus I get the duplicates sometimes less than 1 minute apart.
Thanks for the responses so far. This problem is really starting to get irritating.

I was getting a lot of duplicates. Seems to have spied for now. No clue what was doing it

Its really irritating because I love the phone, but I can't use it if I am constantly getting spammed by duplicate text messages.

yea i got 55 texts from 12 am to 11 a m from the same person 2 different texts and it kept going for a couple hours after too idk why i just got a new one today though but it's got a bad bleed so im just returning it and going to wait a week or two hope they solve it by then already sent lg a pic so

If your problems anything like mine a replacement won't fix the problem, unless I somehow got stupendously unlucky.

Anyone figure this out. I have the same problem. It is not every text message and not every person. It is pretty random. The same person can send me 4 texts 2 are normal, one repeated twice and one 24 times over a period of time, usually a couple hours.

Check any of the apps/widgets that have anything to do with calls/texts, even just showing a number of unread texts. If there are any that have the permission "Your Messages: Send SMS-received broadcast" uninstall it and see if the problem persists. I think I may have had an app called Organizer Widget that was blocking my phone from sending that broadcast.

I had your problem.
I was running on stock G2X, and I was receiving text after text after text.
I spent time on the phone with the T-Mo reps, and he concluded that:
"it's a server problem. You see, our messaging database isn't reading that your phone got the text, and thus it re-sends it in hopes that it receives it."
Basically, he is saying that the messaging server is tripping. But, this is not exactly true, because if it was the messaging server, then it would be universal. It is simply a G2X stock-rom problem.
I think it actually might have something to do with the baseband, but I am not sure if CyanogenMod updates it or fixes it when flashing.
I have a fix.
After I flashed myself some CyanogenMod, the problem was instantly fixed.
So, I think its a problem with the stock rom. Definitely. The CM rom works perfectly, no repeating messages. Also, the current nightlies are mighty stable.

I have this issue as well. It doesn't happen often but when it does it sends 10 or more duplicates.
I have handcrafted sms and launcher products which displays the number of texts on the dock. Running rooted stock.
It hasn't happened in a while, so I doubt it is related to the Apps.

I've had this issue on ALLLL my android phones I've owned . Even non Android phones and my unlocked iPhone. I have tried different similar cards as well.
I have noticed it happens the most when I receive messages from a Verizon user; followed by AT&T users. I never (not that I've noticed) had duplicates from Sprint or other T-Mobile users. Only Verizon and AT&T.
My point being I think it's a T-Mobile issue. Or a communication issue between providers.

I'm actually having this problem running CM7 Nightly 63, it's irritating as hell.

Dont know, but I'd like to know the problem too. I have chompsms installed but it shows duplicate in the stock messaging app too.

I really don't think it has anything to do with the phone...
Like I said earlier, all my phones have done it. Even my crappy clamshell Samsung back in the day. Or my unlocked iPhone.
Server makes the best sense.

I have the issue as well...although it seems to be only with certain contacts, however across every carrier. Averages 3-4 duplicates. Never had this problem before with any phone. SIM card went straight from my N1 to my G2X. Kind of an old SIM. Maybe I'll try a re-provision on a new SIM to see if that makes any difference.

Thank you @shaneledford, uninstalling organizer widget solved my problem... everything's back to normal

I've also had this problem with previous phones, though it tends to happen much more often when one of them is an Android phone. Only started happening with my phone before this one, though, but that was a Nokia non Android, so it's a fairly recent thing but not Android specific.

Text messaging issue, one number.

I have text one number from my phone for months and thousand of messages at that, suddenly tonight in the middle of the conversation I can't get any text through to her. Says unable to send. I can mms her and she can text me. I can call her as well. I was on bamf gb 2.05. I have now restored back to the mr1 updated rooted only still can not text her. I have deleted the contact tried with and without 1 in front of the number. I can text any other number on the phone normally. Anyone have a clue since Verizon no longer offers 24hour support? How ****ed is that?

I'm having the same problem with my moms number....worked great,then bam...nothing tried taking the 1 off,it works occasionaly.
this only happened when I went to BAMF gingerRemix worked flawlessly w/other BAMF ROMs

Have you tried changing ROMs?

Since I went from gb back to stock I would say yes... Mysteriously started working again this morning...very odd it was like it was blocked...
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

This happened to me for 6 hours one night. I couldn't receive any SMS but I could send. After 6 hours it started working again. If you google this issue, other people are having it. I don't think it is ROM related.

I don't think it's a TB issue.. I haven't experienced it on my TB, but I did experience it on my LG Voyager way back when..
Unless they have the same bug..
Which would suck..

Greetings! I would like to assist with this issue. I see that these concerns have been posted recently. If this is still occuring, please tweet me your details and I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!

Text messages

I started having problems today with my text messages. I would get a text msg from friends an I would end up getting them over and over again. I did a battery plug and even asked them to do it also and still nothing. I still kept getting them over and over again. Any where from a minute apart to 5-10 minutes. This has been going on all day since around 10:30. I even did a master reset on the phone during the day and it is still doing it. I called tmobile and they actually disconnected me from the network to see if that would work and it didn't. They ended up having to send it to the engineers and said this would go on for the next couple of days until the engineers got back with them.
My question is has anyone had this problem before?
One other question I have also is. My phone is rooted but I haven't deleted any thing I just have them frozen. When this happened I wasn't doing anything out of the normal with it. Now if I have to get a new phone I know I will have to un-root it. Should I do a master reset on the phone once I get my new phone so that away any of the apps I have on this one will go to my new phone an when I send this phone back so they won't know that this phone was rooted.
Any help would be great.
Thank you in advance.

By any chance were thet txting you fron a iphone?
Suprah..."no cyanogen, rom manager still fake flashes the roms thats y for nvidia phones we have to use nvflash"

no not iphone

Could it be that your friends are bomb spamming you?
There are some apps that lets you spam people with text messages

I really don't think so because it even happened when tmobile was sending there test text msges and when I even sent me a test text msg

Me too. Sat on phone with T-Mobile. No fix yet. Not rooted. Texts repopulate from all incoming carriers. Now I am SMS disabled. Opened a tt and asked for fee anytime upgrade.

ok now I have a bigger issue.....today on my way home from work I restarted my phone and after I did that it was starting to load up it will get to the screen where it says LG with the blue like task bar under it and then it reboots itself. what would cause that. I'm lost and worried now and have no clue what to do. I search the phone rebooting issue and some of the things I'm see to do is this
"help: try formating the phone/wipe data .... hold volume DOWN button and power button at the same time"
but if it wipes everything what would have to be done after that.

This happened to my wife's MyTouch slide a while back. A SIM pull fixed it. Just pull your battery and SIM card out for about 30 seconds and put them back in. See if that fixes your texting issue.

[Q] Not receiving text messages

I randomly just stopped receiving text messages with my rooted Droid Charge that has the latest version of gingerbread installed. Everything worked fine until Tuesday, but I just realized today messages weren't coming through that people were sending. I did a battery pull, and now it appears that texts are coming in, but the messages that I missed over the past couple of days have not come through. What happened to them? Are they lost in the ether? Are they sitting in a queue?
I can't call Verizon, because if they ask for my phone system info, they'll know I rooted. Any advice?

Just fake the information, just like all of us have had to do when calling our ISPs when asked to reboot your computer.

Well there was a data outage a day or two ago, that might have been your problem. IDK, just a guess.

I had a similar experience last week. I was on 100% stock no root. I randomly missed text the whole week. It def was not due to a rom or being rooted. As far as I know I have been receiving all my text this week. I'm slowly getting flashbacks of my old fascinate

How would I know the current build, kernel, OS, etc? Does anyone have the stock Charge info?

I did a battery pull and that fixed the problem for about 15 hours. Now I'm not receiving texts again. Could this be caused by a ROM or a particular app? This just randomly started occurring out of the blue.

Are you missing any calls at all? I would suggest trying a new SIM card.

I was having trouble getting texts a few months ago. It was a problem on Verizon's end. When you call them, you'll have to get to at least level 2 tech support before they can be any help. I'm not sure what they did, but the next day I was getting all the texts again. The ones that you didn't get are gone though.
