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?

ditto

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.

Anyone experienced this?

Hi all,
Today while I was listening music and typing messages, all of a sudden the haptic feedback of my NS suddenly become very weak...
Weak as in the vibration was not that distinct anymore. It forced me to perform a reboot to make it normal again. Anybody experienced this? I have encounter this the 2nd time already.

I think you'd better write your NS spec. for example ROM, Kernel, etc....

Everything I use is stock
Android version : 2.3.4
Baseband version : i9020XXKD1

Has happened to me as well on stock and deck's t and u rom.
Rebooting fixed it on stock and flashing back to r worked on decks.

I've not noticed it on the Nexus yet, however I did come across this issue on the moment as well as the epic.
Just like anything the battery can only pump out so much juice, the more you run the less everything is getting. so if you have 100% of your voltage and 3 pieces of hardware pulling from it screen, cpu/gpu, and lets say vib, that means you would only be getting 1/3 of full power to each.
Its hard to say exactly what it was unless you were running logcat, monitoring power consumption, and other factors.
Now, the odds are its a software glitch.

yes ive also experianced this only once awhile ago i felt it while typing messaging all the sudden it was just like boom 5% vibration no clue why though

Yep...its happened to me many times. Usually a reboot always fixes it.
Its few and far between, so nothing to really worry about I would guess.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Now that you mention it i am sure i have had this a few times.... never really thought too much about it though

I've also noticed it, although again its rare enough to not bother me, and a reboot always fixes it. Just one of those little fixable bugs I guess.

thanks all,
good to hear this. actually its not that annoying cause this seldom happens.
after owning NS for 6 months this happens twice only so its alright not much of a big problem

[Q] SMS Notification Lag... UGH!?!? HELP!!!

Hey guys, for anyone that can shed some light upon me on what's going on with my phone would greatly help. Basically, receiving any kind of text message at any time the sound skips/lags/stutters 80% of the time. Its SUPER annoying. I have searched and searched and searched for a solution but cannot find anything. It may be because of the verbiage I am using. I'm not sure. I am on my replacement S3, the first one did it. I got this one, tested it before rooting it, still issue, BRAND NEW NON-ROOTED PHONE! Rooted, tested several ROMS, several notifications, stock/custom, even third party notification managers like LightFlow. Even my girl's virgin S3 has the issue. It really seems like a known issue from my end but NOONE posts about this! I dont know what to do........ Please help someone. Thanks in advance.

I dont have that issue nor have I ever heard of it. Are you using a downloaded sms app or running your own mp3 for a notification?

I don't have that issue. Are u sure light flow isn't messing it up? Clear data on the app and uninstall it. My light works just fine.

Normally, what I prefer to use is LightFlow with custom notifications downloaded from the Zedge app. I will try again to only use default ringtones and also disable LightFlow to see what happens. But guys, this doesn't make any sense. I experienced this issue out the box twice, with nothing extra on the software. I am an advanced user modding and troubleshooting for years. I even work for Verizon as Technical Support Coordinator, but this is literally the first issue I have ever experienced in Android that I just cannot figure out.
I did find a similar issue people are facing which pertains to ringtones cutting off short, not finishing, vibrating until the immediate cut off period. The conclusion to that was supposedly a known issue Samsung needs to correct. But most people don't experience. Which drives me insane!
As I typed this my phone reached the low battery mark and notified me with that low battery sound. THAT JUST LAGGED TOO!!! UGH!! I don't know guys.

I'm using the default text messaging app with notifications turned on, default ringtone silent, vibrate never so that the LightFlow app can take over

Still wifi issues

I've had wifi issues since I purchased my htc one x for AT&T in may. I have had the hone replaced and the issue was never resolved and I'm kid of fed up with it for the fact that everyone I know who has an android device other then a one x don't have these issues. Issue seems to be Interment but happens a lot actually all the time.
Basically my issue is I have wifi turned on sometimes I lose connection.i notice this due to delayed alerts at times and when I'm using the phone such as on the play store, Facebook or any app that uses the I telnet every once in a while ill get a connection loss message and have to wait for the Internet to come back, usually comes back quick but still very annoying. Another ways can tel is when the phone is in sleep mode is when it happens the most. For example ill unlock the screen at times then all of a sudden I receive all my alerts such as gmail, google talk and any other alert that never came through b c of loss of connection. I also notice a lot when I open google talk right after I unlock my screen that it says I'm offline, then after a few I see it come online and if I had any google talk messages they then come through. I also see the time stamps when this happens, like emails come in and google talk messages and they can be anywhere from like 2-15 mins delayed at times.
I have also performed various of tests when the phone is asleep and I s end myself an email or google talk message and it does not come in until I unlock the phone. FYI this is Interment does not happen all the time but happens very often.
Are you guys still having issues with wifi ? Will getting a replacement possibly resolve the issue or sis this a known issue that cannot be fixed? I love the phone but sick and tire of not receiving all my alerts in real time. This is the first android phone with this type of issue and so frustrated.

Have you checked your wifi settings to make sure it's staying connected while the phone is asleep?

Yes of course checked all bases including forums for the last couple of months. Please note as per my op even when I'm using the phone sometimes I get lost connection errors even while using the Facebook app etc like google play store and other apps. So although while asleep seems to happen the most it also happens during normal use.

This is a known issue with many HTC phones. Even if you have WiFi to never sleep, when your display turns off the WiFi goes into some sort of battery saver mode. It doesn't turn off completely so you get your alerts eventually. I have not found a working solution short of flashing a custom Rom. HTC knows about this but hasn't fixed it. They think it is working as it should...

Thanks for clarifying this for me. If you flash a rom like for example cm10 or other rooms it can resolve this issue? Funny bc if wifi is shut off on just data works good, but the whole point is to use wifi as much as possible since I only have 3gb limited. I was thinking of upgrading to a one x+ but I'm afraid it will have the same issue as the normal, one x. This makes me want to go with a different company such as Samsung etc.. Anyways thanks for your help.

T-Mobile Text Messages Not Working

Bought the Z3 on 11/11/14, was working fin until the 13. Text messages will say "sending" and I will not be able to receive any messages. Was on the phone with T-Mobile tech support for over 2 hours troubleshooting, no luck. Went back to the store, got a new sim card, and exchanged for a new phone, working fine until the next day (today).
This is my second z3, used multiple sim cards, did factory reset, nothing works text messages still will not receive or send. Salesman told me I can switch phones to anything else. What should I do?
Extremely disappointed in Sony. I believe this is a phone error as I had a Galaxy S3 with tmobile since 2012 with no issues.

I haven't had any problems with mine from T-Mobile. Does it work on WiFi calling? I really don't think it's the phone..

right, and the tech support rep said no issues have been reported with sony. I don't understand what the problem is then? I created a ticket with t-mobile engineering, hopefully that resolves the problem. If not, I'm jumping back to the S3

Strange... I've never experienced anything like this on any of my phone. (When I have service)
Phone calls work?

phone calls and data work fine. just text/picture messaged are extremely delayed, or non functional.
could any of my downloaded apps be corrupting the sms service?
I didn't even get a chance to root yet...

I'm not sure how an app could corrupt anything... Especially without root.
Do you still have the S3? Pop your sim in and try and text.

Ahh.. My bad.
Short of factory resetting, which you already did, I have no clue.
Messaging is your default app right?

yes, but the problem continued on hangouts. I was just on the phone with tmobile tech, and she sent me a picture message, and it took over 30 minutes to receive. I sent a message to myself at 9am cst, and still haven't received.

It happens to me every once and a while, it happen yesterday but all I do is a soft reset.. Then it's sends the text..
If I had to guess it might be a fluke thing or maybe something to do with having stamina mode on but since I get incredible battery ? results it worth the hassle ..
Also I have done a factory reset and use the new Sim that came with the phone ..But it still happens ,I know it does because I get the did not send Error message ..
But for me personally it happens like maybe once or twice a week ..
Hey no phone is perfect but this Phone is so close to it with,whatever shortcomings it might have..

I never get the "send error" message, and I do not have stamina mode on. This is an amazing phone, no doubt about it, but I may be experiencing a bad batch or something.
This is not an intermittent issue, it is constant and never ending. My 2 Z3's have been far from perfect, and cannot handle the simple task of sending sms. Also the phone has rebooted by itself a couple times already. Sadly, I'll have to return it or wait for the tmobile engineering decision.

What apps do you have installed? My phone has rebooted/froze/force closed at all.

about 40 random ones from the store. actually, I tried to take a picture from the messaging app and it froze. I think the messaging failure is corrupting other processes on the phone, it gets really hot

If it's getting hot there must be an app stuck trying to do something, check and see what app(s) are using a lot of the battery, GSam works pretty well. Then uninstall/disable it

Me too
I've got the same issue, every so often my phone fails to send a text. It happens at least twice a day. First I thought it was Hangouts, so I disabled the SMS setting on it, and used the stock app, but it's doing the same thing. Sometimes I will retry three or four times with no success. I'm usually able to resend after waiting a few minutes.
I'm not on wifi, I don't use wifi calling. I have great signal strength, and mobile data is working, so I'm not sure why my messages won't send...
I'd also like to note, I came from a Nexus 4, NEVER had an issue with texts not going through... so I really don't think it's T-Mobile...

good point. had that app installed on my s3, just haven't downloaded it yet due to all the resetting. will download now and see the problem. do you think the tmobile ticket will do anything? Just called the salesman and he said it will do nothing, come and return the phone or swap to something else.

Yes same exact problem. It must be something weird on the phone that we need to configure. Maybe tmobile can adjust on their end. Yourr the only one in the USA to agree with me and this problem with the z3.

No clue, I've never dealt with T-Mobile support. Although my general consensus with carrier stores, is that the employee's are generally brain dead and just trying to get their commission on device/plan sales. (Does not apply to all of them) Most just have no idea what they are selling.
However, you definitely have an app doing something in the background. The only time my phone gets hot is while charging and using it, or doing something that stresses the processor. (4K Video/Games...etc.)
