Hi,
I bought the Z3 about a month ago, and so far I'm fairly happy with it after moving from my S5, but, I have a few nagging issues that are starting to drive me up the wall.
My gf and I both got this phone, and both of us have these issues, we have T-Mobile.
I have a lot of issues sending and receiving MMS, both using Textra and the stock messaging app.
I have had under probably 10 occasions at least where people asked if I received their picture, or if I received their group text, but I did not. I have also sent mms messages and had the other party not receive them.
In addition, I have to reboot my phone at least once a week, because text messages will start failing to send/receive, and same goes for phone calls.
Is there a custom rom or some flashable fix for this issue? It's really the only thing taking away from this phone..
Thanks!

I've been using google voice for my text messaging. I've noticed that my standard SMS with ATT is not working for some reason.
I thought it was google voices fault, but my friends vibrant seems okay with both. Is there something wrong with the number I use to retrieve my text messages? It is
+13123149810
Hey,
I was having the same problem and apparently AT&T fails in more ways than imagined.
When I upgraded my phone, they cancelled my messaging package. After logging into the website and adding Text Messaging as a feature for my phone, it started working. This may be the problem you're having.
Good luck!
+1 on SMS issue last to days I haven't been able to receive all my messages even after I clear all threads out.That is without Google Voice.
I can send and receive messages fine, with the exception of two people who apparently haven't been getting my texts. One of them is my wife that is on my family plan. I guess I should check if they fudged something up with her texting.
My girl friend on my family plan with me (who has an iPhone 3Gs) and myself are also having text issues. Some of my texts to her do not arrive, and nearly all of her text to me never reach me. I receive about 1 in 5 texts from her, and she gets about 3 in 5 from me.
The rest of her texts work just fine, and I'm learning today that about half of my texts from other people are apparently not arriving to me as well.
This is obviously *really* bad... it led to her thinking I was blowing her off all day sunday and took a lot of explaining to do on my behalf today, heh.
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!
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?

It's a carrier issue. Tends to happen in low coverage areas.

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.
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.
Anyone else have an issue where certain texts dont come in? I was texting my girlfriend and got no response for several hours. Messaged her thru Instagram and she said she replied and showed me a screenshot of the message sending from her iPhone. Ive had this issue in the past with messages coming from iPhones and thought it was just a bad day for someone higher up at Apple/Android. Both restarted our phones and texts works again but I still never got the ones she sent. When I restarted my phone it said the last 2 texts didn't send even though she got them.
Today I just found out I didn't get a an SMS text from a friend who I believe is on an iPhone as well
What is going on? Verizon OP7P but I bought directly from OP
Do you have cdma-less configured on your Verizon account? Do you have Instagram battery optimization turned off? Do you have an sms app that works properly when you are connected to WiFi? Something like message+? Are you on 9.5.10?
I had an issue with not receiving text's sometimes or sometimes even texts not sending. I mostly noticed the issue would occur in group chats as well as when i would attempt to send an image to somebody. I mostly use Textra for my SMS app, but i noticed that when i disabled my DNS module in Magisk the issue seemed to stop. I have since just been using the 1.1.1.1 DNS app and added my texting app as an exception and I have not noticed any issues.
When I got the OnePlus 6T last year, I couldn't receive any messages also. Learned from forums that you have ask a Verizon representative to add CDMA radio to your new phone. I think it's called CDMA less, once I got that added then got the messages. The 6T was the first phone OnePlus released onto Verizon's coverage.
Me too you have to tell Verizon you need cdma less.
I have this issue on occasion. I also use Textra but I am on Tmobile. I did have the messages app disabled but now trying it enabled with no notifications. This way I only get notifications from Textra. Been good for two days as far as I can tell.
I have the international version I got directly from Oneplus.
