I would like to know if the Received notification in messaging (sms/mms) means that the recipient actually got the message or if it simply got sent?
The reason I'm asking is this. My Girlfriend has an I phone and she has blocked my phone number from calling her. But, when I text her, my phone gets the notification saying that the message was received by her phone. It doesn't give the "Read" notification because Android and I phone aren't compatible for that function.
Does "Received" mean she is getting the messages? Or that the message was delivered, but not necessarily received by the phone ?
This is killing me not knowing if I'm being ignored, or if they are being blocked like the phone calls.
Thanks to whoever has the correct answer. Please don't speculate. This is very important.

Received comes only after the recipient gets the message. It'll take a while if there's no network coverage!
I appreciate you answering my post. As small and insignificant it may seem from an outside view, it is so helpful in my current situation, way more than you could imagine.
Thanks

Does anyone know how to receive a sound notification from an IM (AOL, Yahoo, etc.) using the standard messaging app when the phone is in standby? When I go to use my phone, I see that I have receive a message, and a system message telling me that I have received something asking if I'd like to open the conversation. However, I never get a sound???!!??
I think it's kind of ridiculous that I have to keep the phone out of standby just in case someone IM's me.
Can anyone offer help?
Ummm...help?
Anyone have any ideas?
So I'm having a peculiar problem which doesn't appear to be specific to my model phone (which happens to be a Samsung Captivate).
I use Google Voice for my text messaging so I'm not sure when this started. But I'd like to be able to at least receive text messages that people try to send to my main number. But what happens now is that I see the message text appear in the notification part temporarily, but when I go into the stock SMS app all I see is a separate blank message from "5556" and always with a date of March 26 and a time of 12:19AM. The actual message doesn't appear anywhere but temporarily in the notification bar.
I've used APNdroid and QuickSettings in the past to disable 3G but leaving the "allow MMS" option checked. Neither is currently enabled but maybe they mess with settings somewhere?
And like I said, I have Google Voice installed too. Not sure what else could have messed with settings. My message center is set to "+13123149810".
I have been searching and saw these threads so it's not unique:
Nexus One: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8814554
HTC Desire: http://androidforums.com/desire-support-troubleshooting/192806-sms-mms-issue.html
No solution though. Any thoughts?
I am having the same problem with my aria. I thought it was an app that I downloaded. Anyone able to help?
What the heck!?
I am having the same problem on my Samsung Vibrant(T-Mobile). It started about a 10 days ago. At first I got both the message and a blank one from 5556 but now I am only seeing the message in the notification bar and then its gone. This is so aggravating!! Anybody got a cause for this???
Has anyone tried a factory reset? Does that fix it?
Bump?
Need more text... too short...
5556 Message not Unique to Android or Google Voice
Hello there,
I'm new around here, but just found xda due to receiving a 5556 message myself. I have an android device, but not phone; my cell is a cricket Kyocera, and I just received this message from "5556",
Want a family plan with the freedom to customize each line of service? Bring in an eligible phone, add a line for just $15 & get the 1st month free."

What is significant about this to your issue? Well I unsubscribed to Cricket's text messaged ads, so it looks like this is a way to anonymously advertise with some plausible deniability, or something like that. Perhaps it is an advertising service, a third party, or other...in any case it is definitely anonymous, being neither a number nor a name. : ( If any here have a message to present, it would be appreciated, for that the more details we have, the better to figuring out what is going on. (In my case, perhaps even filing a legal complaint with the relevant authorities under the relevant statutes.)
If annoying enough, one could always go to a lawyer to seek a subpoena of a cellular carrier's records to find the source of communications, btw. Note I say going to a lawyer because IANAL and do not intend to give legal advice: I'm just cranky about unwanted spam having sat on waiting to talk to someone by the phone on my desk all day.
Hey there, I hope you're doing great!
I'm creating this thread because I was wondering if the issue I am about to describe is a known bug or if it only happens with me.
The problem I am experiencing is sporadic, as I cannot determinate a specific cause for it; it sometimes happen right after reboot, and sometimes after long usage, after a call, simple idling, etc.
Of course the issue is that when I receive an SMS message from a contact, I see it pop-up at the top as a notification, but when I want to see it in the threaded conversation, it is simply not there. I can continue texting, and they continue receiving my messages properly, as do I... only by looking at the top status bar though, because other than that, the threaded conversation remains the same during the whole exchange.
My phone is not rooted, it is a brand new LG-P999 from Videotron (They call it the LG Optimus 2X here!) and it runs Froyo 2.2.2!
Thank you very much for your help, and of course, excuse me if this issue has already been looked into! Otherwise, have an awesome day!
Is it possible you are using a third-party text app? I ask because I mainly use Google Voice for my texts, but every now and then someone will text my phone number, which of course means it goes to the phone's message app. As you mentioned, you get the notification and can respond just fine. However, if I don't pay attention, and go to my Voice messages, their messages will not appear, and I have to switch to the built-in message app to see their conversations.

Thanks for your reply, but I am actually using the stock SMS app!
Hmph, started looking into the "Messages" app settings and found something called "Text messages on SIM card" and found all the messages I was "missing".
What causes this?! =O
*EDIT*
I looked on the Internet a bit but found nothing pertaining to the LG-P999/G2X. I, however, found information on the matter saying that this is usually caused by reaching the maximum capacity of SMS messages in your phone. I have about 120 messages all in all, which is certainly a very small number! I also have about 4.50GB of free space on my phone!
Thanks for the help!
This is a known issue from LG... Call the tech support and open a ticket.
Voicemail notif is causing this issue... default storage is change to simcard by the OS...

Thanks a lot, it is definitely a relief to know that this is a known bug. Do you know how we can change the default storage of the voice mail, or I need to root?
Thanks!
I just wanted to add that I successfully found a permanent workaround to this problem by installing GoSMS Pro! No more "disappearing" text messages

I was stunned to discover this morning that the DEFAULT messaging app cannot send SMS to Short Codes. I'd have to say I'm more than a little shocked that our texting app is missing core functionality.
I've already submitted a topic on Google's Product forum.
I just realized this myself and probably looked ridiculous standing in front of a short code and not being able to figure it out...

are you sure it's hangout's problem? what's your carrier?
I can send short code without problem.
Well i feel dumb... you just need to scroll past all the G+ bs and contacts to get to the send sms option... it shouldnt be all the way at the bottom but whatever...
I have no problems sending to and receiving from short codes using Hangouts. Don't know why anyone else would have this problem. The first time I received one, it prompted to possibly incur charged from my Service Provider, but past that it acts just fine.

On T-Mobile I got that same popup, and it says that the messages have been sent, but I do not receive any response back from the short code. Like the local radio station here is 48258. Usually you get a auto response saying thank you for txting blah blah blah. With hangouts I do not get that response.

Yeah, see - I don't get that problem. I can properly respond and receive a response back and so on. I'm on AT&T - don't see why that would be carrier specific.

Not sure, i have been much to lazy to download a 3rd party sms app to test it to see if its actually hangouts or carrier having issues. Might give it a try tonight and report back.
I always stored those few short codes like #225# or #932# in the Phonebook & dial from there. It's a Pop-up showing the info onscreen but not saved to as incoming SMS, unlike traditional non-smart phone like the old LG or Sony. Hangout is on the MMS path and that should explain the reasons for not being able to use it.
I just did a test from couple different SMS apps and none of them get a reply from 5 digit numbers. Also my google voice number is not getting a response, so I have no idea if it is working or not.

Yes, I am having the same issue. I've been searching for a solution without any luck. Please let me know if you run across anything.
I've had the issue since I purchased my LG-G4 from AT&T two months ago. Issue is sporadic and difficult to replicate on demand. It only happens with group text messages (MMS), but I cannot figure out what triggers the non-delivery of a reply. Those that do not get delivered correctly show up from "Anonymous" with "Message not Found" in the text. Unsure how to troubleshoot, but it happens pretty frequently. I would guess about 1 in 15 to 20 of my MMS messages are not delivered.
Yes. And it must be at&t because it happens on my note 4 sometimes when sending group messages.

Don't believe its limited to group messaging. I preordered my G4 and its happened to me about 5 times since I've owned it. I do not send group messages nor have any friends that send me group messages. I'm pretty sure that in my circumstances that i actually received the mms but the app for what ever reason still triggered the flag that i got a "new" message. If that mms was already downloaded then the app might be saying that there's a "new" mms but cant download it because its already been downloaded...hence the lack of info "anonymous" and error when trying to download.
