I have tried everything from a hard reset to clearing cache to a factory reset, but I cannot seem to figure out why I'm not consistently receiving text messages from one specific sender. In my Verizon online account, it clearly states that this person has sent me a text and that I have received it, but it is nowhere to be found on my phone. This happens regularly, but not consistently.
I have called Verizon, who couldn't figure it out. I switched my phone and SIM, but to no avail. Where is this text message and how do I get it?
Perhaps the other party was able to delete the message before you actually saw it.
RAZR HD
Eclipse V 1.3
That is definitely not the problem. I consistently have issues with this number and text messages. Verizon logs the message as coming in, but my phone never receives it.
Can anyone help?

I just recently had a problem with one of my associates where we are unable to send/receive text messages from one another. I have turned on received reports in the default messaging app in Android and all my texts say received by the recipient.
Both of us can receive and send texts to other people and calling between us still works. I have wiped my phone, and gone with a stock Virtuous 3.2 rom on a Droid Incredible and it still doesn't work. She is on a blackberry, also on Verizon if that helps.
It seems to me that it is probably a network issue but the fact that both of us can still get all other texts confuses me. Any ideas?
I am very new to Android coming from Palm Pre and I purchased Droid Pro and activated it with Page Plus everything seems to work fine except I can't receive or can't send any plain text messages any kind. I haven't been able to receive or send any ever since I got this activated. I have tried everything I could.
I did activation multiple times and still no luck! I am very frustrated at this point and don't know what to do. I really love this phone and it works great including web data, calls but the stupid text messages will not work at all.
As soon as I send a text message I get an instant error message saying text message not sent and it does that for every message. This is just driving me insane since I text more than I talk.
I am getting close to my last resort is the reset this phone to factory which I don't know how to do. My brother uses Droid 2 Global and Fascinate on Page Plus Wireless with no problems. I tried calling multiple sources and no one is willing to help me.
Please help me if you can.
Anybody here know what I can do? I am so frustrated. I know I am missing text messages right now. I hate to go back to Palm... and this is the only Android phone from Verizon that I like so far. I love the keyboard but without being able to send or receive text messages this thing would be worthless for me. I text more than I talk.
This are just random guesses, but i thought i would try:
- wrong sms format (UTF-8?)
- wrong number/address for sms central in settings?
Fixed!!!
After days of fighting with it I got it figured out by process of elimination. For Page Plus Wireless under "Wireless & Network Settings" > "Mobile Networks" > "Network Mode" - needs to be set to "GLOBAL" and not "CDMA" like I thought and after this all my text messages are working properly.
This may be useful to someone later on.
Now if I can get rid of all the bloatware that this Droid Pro came with without rooting I would be very excited. I love this phone so far even though I am missing the true multi-tasking but I am sure I will get used to. I am already getting used to Android and it's only been a few days
Root it and change build.prop
change in system/build.prop
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0
This will solve sms problems

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has a similar problem or if it is a unique occurrence. I have an unrooted, stock Skyrocket on 2.3.6. Since the LTE switch went live in Tampa, I will occasionally have a message say that it has failed...however the message has in fact been received as I will get a reply. To make matters worse though, there are times I send a message and the receiver tells me they got the same message multiple times, and I often receive messages multiple times when the sender sent it once. I don't know if this is a problem with an LTE repeater or the phone. Any help or advice would be great.
My wife had that problem with hers a long while back. Factory reset cured everything (she was stock at the time)
Might be a slow work day, so I'm hoping I can get rid of some the little bugs that have been bothering me....
1. Sometimes I will receive the same text message multiple times, up to about 10 but it's usually only one or two duplicates. This can happen over a period of about 20 minutes.
2. Messages get delivered several hours later or only after a reboot. There is not usually any indication that the sms failed to deliver. I sent a text yesterday to my brother, and it seemed to go out fine with no error message. After rebooting my phone today, I shortly thereafter received a confused text asking what I was talking about. The text I thought I had sent yesterday now appeared in our conversation with a timestamp of when I restarted my phone.
3. The stock messaging app doesn't give me any notifications at all. Obviously, that's not acceptable, so I'm stuck using a 3rd party sms app (handcent). Don't know if this is related, but I use Google Voice for my voicemail and that also doesn't give me notifications (have my voicemails sent to my gmail account as a workaround on that). If I open the apps my voicemails and texts are there, just no notification from the phone.
I know at least the first two issues could be an issue with the carrier (at&t), but I had none of these problems with an iphone prior to switching or when using the mediocre AT&T Messages app on this phone.
I was hoping these problems would magically disappear after rooting and installing a new ROM (viperXL), but that hasn't been the case.
Thanks for any help!
Wife has an unrooted VZW Droid Mini XT1030. running JB (not sure which version, will check). KitKat 4.4.4
recently have been having intermittent texts not delivered. no error message on sending. they just never get there. in a back and forth conversation 1 or 2 messages out of 10 might not arrive. Happens for multiple recipients on different carriers. MMS is fine. Using default Android messaging app.
all messages show up on VZW's online message log (website login from PC, so the message hits their network somehow.) Posted support request via VZW forums. so far we've verified that a reboot doesn't fix it.
Only thing I notice that seems odd is under message details, the last line for all sent text messages is : "Cause Code: Addr.Vcnt., 0"
Googling brings up a number of old threads back in the Android Gingerbread days, people were often getting that as an error message when messages wouldn't deliver. Also, noticed a number of threads with intermittent delivery issues, similar to mine, and they were almost all Motorola devices of one flavor or another.
Anyone know what that message actually means? I've seen several quite contradictory explanations. Think it's relevant? A red herring? At this point I'm not even sure the problem is the phone vs. something with VZW. Could something on my phone be intermittently messing up delivery?
Second, recommend troubleshooting? If it's the phone, I figure a factory reset's in order at some point. If that doesn't help, other suggestions? Assuming the mini version is right, root/reflash? If it's not the phone... any suggestions for resolving? I was going to port to a VZW MVNO, but if it's a network issue, decent support goes away at that point...
EDIT: correction, running KitKat 4.4.4
Could it be a sim issue? Pull the sim card out and put it back in.

Will try.
Also, on KitKat not JB
