[Q] Not able to receive text message - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello, I had the gs3 for about a week now and had no problems until today. Today my friend had asked me why I haven't text her back and I had told her that I haven't gotten any text message from her. She then had shown me her phone and it had shown that she had text me but it didn't show on my phone so I tried to see if she can receive my texts and she did so I guess the only problem is me not being able to receive text.
Has anyone had this problem before? I cant search the forums because I don't have 10 posts yet.

Problem with inbox messages

hey,
Since a few days im having problems with my messages inbox.
Because when you send a message to a contact you can see what messages you have send before right ? so it looks kinda like a conversation and you can scroll back to the first message you have ever send.
Now im having a problem because when i send or recieve a message it doesnt show.
I do get a notification that someone had send me a message but i cant find it and/or read it. because when i go to that conversation it just shows that the last message was send yesterday and i can read those without a problem it just doesnt show new messages.
I have deleted all my messages and then it works again for the first 5 or 6 messages but then again if i get a message i cant find it in my inbox and it looks like i never got a text.
I've looked into the options and couldnt find anything strange so i was wondering if someone else had problems with this ?
People do recieve my messages though so thats not a problem i just cant read the ones they send to me so it almost looks like my phone only saves a certain amount of messages and after that it will not save my messages anymore.
sorry for my bad english
have you tried another messaging app like handcent from the market it is free and also a good messaging app there is also go sms for free so maybe try theser and see what happens??

[Q] Texting Problems

HTC One Mini text problems - confused.com
1st
I received a text from someone in my contacts but it had two senders.in the "from" field. I replied to the sender who had asked the question and immediately got a phone call from the other "sender" saying he'd received a strange text from me. The INCOMING text had two senders - weird. There were no links between the two senders other than they are both in my contacts.
2nd
I forwarded text to one person today and it sent it to 7 recipients. The one I sent it to received it and replied and I've not heard from the others so I assume they didn't get it, however it clearly shows 7 recipients.
On both item one and item two an error screen appeared, saying something like "could not be completed"
The only thing different recently is that I updated the OS a few days ago.
Any ideas?

[Q] Merged Text Messages

I am having an issue where a contact of mine is occasionally receiving a different text message from me than the one I send. They will receive half of my intended message, but the last few words will be replaced with a portion of a text that I sent a long time ago. This happens at least once a week. Let me give a quick example to show what I mean:
Example:
Text message I send to contact - "Hello how are you today? What do you think of all the snow in New York?"
Text message my contact receives - "Hello how are you today? What do ycostume for Halloween this year?"
Where "costume for Halloween this year?" will be a portion of a text I sent a month ago.
This happened on my Galaxy S3, and I just recently switched to a OnePlus One so I'm fairly certain its not my device. I called my carrier and they have never heard of this happening before, nor did they see anything wrong with my account. I only experience this with this contact, and they only experience this with me.
Would that mean it's my contact's phone? They have an Xperia Z1 and are using Textra SMS.
Has anyone heard of this happening before? How can I get rid of this problem?
Any solution?

[Q] Disappearing Text Messages

Hi,
Have a Samsung Galaxy Core. As of this morning, any text messages I try to send just disappear from view as soon as I hit send. The recipients do appear to receive them (I tested on a coworker), however there is no record of them going through on my end in the text conversation. Very frustrating as I'm not sure if they're going through all the time and there is no record of them. They literally just disappear as soon as I hit send. Spoke to my provider (Telus) who advised to download something called Samsung Kies, but the software doesn't work (can't connect to my phone). Can also no longer access the Play Store.
Has anyone had this problem and successfully managed to fix it?
Thanks!

not receiving some text messages

For some reason I am not receiving all text messages . Random texts will not show up on my phone even though they show sent on the other person's phone. Getting frustrating bc I have missed some important texts. I googled the problem and it there was an article from 2 days ago about the issue without a fix available. FYI I am on the TMobile Galaxy S8+ ....anyone else experience this issue? Anyone know of a fix?
i doubt its the phone its probably a bug on your account from tmo
We need to get this to thread going. It's a big discussion topic on Reddit and articles are showing up on Android sites.
I'm with Telus in Canada. I've been using the Android Messages app. I have no idea how many texts I'm not getting but there's one friend who's asked me a couple of times if I got their text and I've said no. I've seen screenshots from them that show the texts they sent. That person actually uses an S7 with default Samsung Messages app.
There's another case today where my kid's school sends messages to parents via both text and email. I always get their messages twice. Once via text, the other via email. Today I only got an email message, so clearly it's not just texts from one person not getting through.
Just received some texts from two days ago. Not all texts, but the last few that never showed up. Maybe something is getting fixed?
As of yesterday I still have been missing some texts daily
Did you recently switch from iPhone? Sometimes iMessage messes up senders that use an iphone, and you wont get it.
On the flipside, though, there does seem to be an issue with texting anyways, or MMS. Like the videos look like ****, or, I have even seen messages that delayed WEEKS come through. For example, my wife uses Handcent, I use Samsung Message app. Over a month ago, my brother in law sent her a pic of our dog, which she forwarded to me...but I didn't get it until a month later, when she accidentally opened the stock messages app, instead of the Handcent app she usually uses. Then, I got all the damn replies a month late from the related group messaging.
This was happening to me weeks ago so is nothing new. Unsure why it's suddenly become such a worldwide issue in the last few days.
I've tried every SMS app going as well as the stock one and it doesn't matter which I use. The messages still didn't arrive.
My S8+ was bought factory unlocked in the UK and it's on the 3 network.
This definitely exists. I have narrowed my issue to long text messages that would be split into 2 or more. I have since switched to the Android Messaging app and no longer have the issue..... I would try it...
My issue existed with the native Samsung Messenger app.
