Text Message - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I'm able to send text messages out and people can receive them. When some people text me back, I never receive the texts.

Did you used to have an iPhone before switching? This happens with iMessage not releasing the number sometimes.

Nope. I used S3 before. Am using Hover Chat as my messaging app. This works fine with my S3 before.

[Q] [NS4G] Getting weird texts from Sprint via 9016

I have received two very unusual texts that don't seem to make much sense to me.
//ANDROID:${from} has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call ${callbackno} to listen. CFGs1840.105f53c3ffe2cafd3961pAZFdYeN//CM

Not entirely sure what this one is referring to. I don't use Sprint Voice mail because I use Google Voice. So my voice mail messages should be on that instead. I've never even bothered to set up the Sprint voice mail as I never have any intention of using it.
//ANDROIDrovisioning successful CFGv320c.0=07c5/tHGbo5//CM

Not entirely sure what this one means. Googling it showed that it meant a text was successfully sent and for some reason my phone didn't filter out the message. I didn't send a text when I received this one though.
Both of these were sent from the phone number 9016. Looking it up this seems to be a Sprint number of some sort. I asked some other Sprint Android users if they got anything similar, and they had not. So is anyone else with a Nexus S 4G getting weird texts like this?
Sounds like sprint spam. That's weird that your phone is displaying code. I'd just ignore it.
I just received this today also. Messages exactly same as the OP and on the same phone and carrier ...
Not sure what it is all about either .. any detailed answers?
the message is how sprint handles visual voice mail. did you happen to have a phone before that had visual voice mail and never reset your voice mail settings when you got your nexus?
Joeykrim, big fan.
Try going to messaging app and do the following: send a text to 9999 and as the message type: Block 9016. You will get a text confirming blockage of that #

Had an Evo for 29 days, but I'm brand new to Sprint beyond that. I never set up any voicemail beyond Google Voice though.
Haven't had another instance of these texts yet though, so I'm just assuming a glitch on Sprint's side.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G "Lore" using XDA Premium App
multiple 9016 text messages.
I think i have found a fix for this annoying problem.
Ive found that it happens when u install some other text message app to handle your text messages instead of the stock messaging system.
I believe the 9016 messages are suppose to be hidden or silent messages and not actually get displayed, but when you set another program to handle all the messages, it doesnt know its not suppose to display it.
*So the FIX that i found that works is to,
tell the new text message program to Not Disable other message notifications. Meaning, remove the check mark associated with that option.

Text Messaging Bugs

I can't send/receive text messages via the stock client or 3rd party (Handcent). I get no error, but the people I send it to never receive it nor do I get theirs...
Any ideas?
Anyone have this issue as well?
its a known bug, you have to go to the messaging app to see the texts, it wont notify you, a incoming software update, probably within a month, will fix it,
its on android central last night

That is not the same problem that is described in the OP.
No i don't have the same problem. It sounds like you need to call AT&T Tech Support about that.

The same thing happened to me. Call AT&T support. The person who did your upgrade did not put a text plan on your account.

obv not if i didnt answer the question..... derp
Ok, this is not a bug. This was a case of my ATT rep wrecking my new line addition. I was adding a line, so they converted it to a family plan while keeping my individual account active and somehow deleting messaging for my new line (OneXL). Frown.
Mods, you can delete if you are inclined to do so.
Thanks everyone!

[Q] Not Receiving SMS messages through Hangouts

Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm only getting very few messages through when people have told me they've text me, I have a few theories as to why this would be happening, but hoping someone has a solution:
As I've come from an iPhone, their phone is still trying to send as an iMessage
Google hangouts doesn't work properly yet
I've just ported over from O2 to Vodafone (serious mistake) which is causing the problem
If it's the latter I'll have to take the problem up with Vodafone, but just wondered if anyone else was getting a similar issue with Hangouts and normal messaging?
Cheers,
Joel
i can assure you it's 99% most likely that it's an imessage issue. i've gone through the hassle of trying to force a sign off of the imessage service and it's a major pita.
you need to get a hold of an iphone, and turn off the imessage service, it should start defaulting to sms on other people's iphones in a few hours/days, but it will immediately start giving your iphone using friends an error that the imessage can not be sent, they can then tell it to send as an sms, or if they have the option to revert to sms when imessage doesn't work it will do it automatically for them.
imessage is such a horrible system, and not being able to manually log out of it is very very annoying

Great thanks for the help. I'll give it a go and see if it's any better in a few hours.
No problem, it took almost a week for it to really stop trying for me

I'm on KK 4.2 and Hangouts continually doesn't save text messages sent to me. An app called Ghostly SMS and Mighty Text will show me a couple messages every so often that never show up in Hangouts. I noticed Hangouts also has an "Import SMS" option in settings but it doesn't resolve the problem. Have you found a fix for this?

I"m having an issue also. i've never had an iphone so i know thats not the problem..
I started noticing that when I send out group messages to my friends.. i get maybe 60 to 70 % of the responses.. I only know because my wife shows me the messages she received and i'm missing several almost consitantly.. it makes me wonder if i'm missing texts that are sent straight to me.
I thought originally it could have been hangouts.. so i switched to 8SMS.. still continued.. now i'm using the Stock AOSP messaging app and still missing texts..
As far as I know i'm not having issues with calls or missing calls..
i'm praying its just a matter of getting this mysterious 4.4.3 update...

Get Ghostly SMS from the Play Store. It captures all of your sms messages so even if Hangouts or any other app misses a message you'll see the notification from Ghostly. I turn off the sound notification in Ghostly, by the way, so my Nexus 5 doesn't get annoying with beeps. The "Move to Inbox" feature doesn't work on KitKat though

My wife had this problem on her N5. Solved it by going to Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it to SMS only account. Click back confirm the missing SMS messages appear. Then go back into Hangouts>Settings>SMS>"Account to show SMS in". Change it back to your gmail account to re-merge the SMS texts with your Hangouts messages.

Hangouts sending double texts/sms

Hi everyone,
Had my nexus 5 for about a week now. Love it! But I've had a few comments from three people now, all on different networks saying that they are receiving my texts twice. However, Its not showing up twice in hangouts, nor do I have any other SMS apps installed.
Anyone else experienced this issue?
Cheers!

Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I've been told that it's not every text and I don't see the duplicates on my phone but I've been told by multiple different people. I've started using Go SMS and so far it doesn't seem to send duplicates, but I wish I could just use Hangouts.
Exact same problem with me. Its intermittent but generally happens more often than not. I don't see the duplicates on my phone either. I've not tried go SMS but like you, I just want to use hangouts rather than a third party app.
Hope there's a fix soon!

Hi,
I have same problem with my N5. I use only Hangouts to send SMS. No idea for this problem???
Thx for help.
I havent been told that mine is doing so - can it possibly be a network issue? i'm on T-mo. how about ya'll?
I'm not sure if its a hangouts issue. I installed the jellybean sms app and I've gotten duplicate texts as well from certain people. I actually got 8 of the same throughout the night last night. Maybe carrier related? I'm on sprint
I'm on EE.
I've read that people have had issues with receiving double messages from others. I've also read about people seeing duplicate messages (that they have sent) in their sms app (even though the recipients haven't received duplicates).
This issue is different in that the recipients receive double texts, but I only send one/see one in my phone. It could be a carrier issue, but it seems to be specific to this phone as my nexus 4 didn't do it.

I have Nexus 4 with Kitkat and the same issue, I used Hangouts in 4.3 and was the same. I think it's related to Hangouts app.
delivery
Doesn't really have to do with receiving double sms but I have a question and wondering if it's just me. So I check the delivery reports for every sms but I don't get any notification and Idk what's going on :/
I am on Sprint. Nexus comes in Monday but myself and a few others have been receiving duplicate texts from others not people saying they are getting them from me. I am using hangouts only as well.

Same issue. I get several of the same SMS message from certain people. Other times, I just don't get messages at all. I'm on Sprint also. Anyone else notice anything to resolve this?
Did anyone ever figure this out? I just found out my Nexus 5 is sending duplicate SMS, using Hangouts, just wondering if it's still happening to many others?

Thanks, good to know :good:
Just my opinion...
For me, it's the Sprint / Google Voice Integration I believe. You have us people who use Sprint and did the Google Voice Integration and now Google wants Voice users to move to Hangouts. It seems like Hangouts somehow doesn't realize the Google Voice and Carrier Numbers are the Same and sends texts twice.
I haven't tried but I think going to Google Voice's Setting (via website) and disabling Carrier Integration may help solve the problem.

Text Message Issues in the US

Just activated my Mate 9 in the US a few hours ago on AT&T. Seems like calls and texts are being sent/received fine. However, when I start a new text, start typing a contact that is in my Contacts (that I synced to the phone via Google), the contact comes up, but when I select it I get an error message: "Invalid Recipient <(732) 283-0192)> He or she will not receive the message", without the quotes. Not sure if it's related, but I am also not seeing all recipients on group texts that I confirmed had multiple recipients that are in my Contacts.
Any ideas?
It's a bug in the SMS messaging stock app. Try installing another like Google Messenger and it'll work

Oh okay, thanks! I actually just installed Chomp SMS and it seems like it's working there, but maybe I'll check out Google Messenger too. Is it better, in your opinion?

I had the same error on my Mate 8 (on att) when i moved to one of the international roms, it was always the number format that caused issue on mine. Ended up downloading an app to make all phone numbers the standard US format

Supposedly it's a bug in the stock SMS app. I'm using Chomp now and no issues. And there's no way I'm changing the country code in every one of my Contacts LOL!

I know this is late but is this a known bug in all international versions? Or is it just the way the stock app is programmed in all international versions. My brother has this and it works with country code added but is a hassle and wants to know if he should get an exchange or if it'll be the same with the new one.
Another vote for Textra...I'm still using a Mate8, textra is perfect.
