Hey guys,
Been with Sprint for awhile now, and I don't recall noticing this before. But so long as I am on 3G and NOT LTE, then all my incoming texts are delayed by at the very least 5 minutes. Sometimes even up to 20 minutes.
I am running MOAR ROM, Lollipop. My initial question is if anyone running stock has this issue? If not, I will return to stock and check it out to see if maybe its my account. I remember before I had a similar issue with T-Mobile, and they had to re-add my phone back to their network. I'm trying to dial down the issue and see if it is something I can fix or if I need to travel to sprint's store.
Thanks all.
Seriously? Nobody running stock can say "I get texts fine on 3g" or "I'm running stock and have delayed messages too". Wow.

pretty sure this started after i rooted, but not 100%... anyone else having this issue? i also have to press 1 before answering a call which is getting suuuper annoying... please tell me im not the only one
cdma ns4g btw
I've recently switched from the epic to the nexus s 4g and I have to press 1 before answering a call as well so I'm not sure about that, but I noticed I wasn't receiving sms until I signed in to google voice and they popped right up...

Are you on 4G
My guess is that you are, you're connection is idle, and you're not connected to the internet.
When you log into Google Voice, it kicks the connection back into life, then you get your messages.
This seems to be a bug as far as I can tell.
I am having an issue where people on the AT&T network are telling me when I send txts they are receiving a significant portion of the messages twice. Is this a verizon issue or a phone issue?
I am running DAS Bamf remix 1.7.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Okay I just was told by someone on Verizon they are receiving duplicate txts as well. Any suggestions, I am using the default SMS msging app that comes with sense.
i've had it happen to people off and on over the years, so I would hope that its not a phone issue.
problem is today its happened a ton of times so I am getting concerned they had me pull my sim card which made no difference
Do you think I should unroot back to stock before calling again?
I reverted back to stock and havent had a issue yet, wonder why
yeah ive had this happen to me rarely, but i dont think its because of the phone, my theory is that its the network just doing it randomly, but thats just my thought
Even at 100% stock it still did it.
I am going to call them up again. I think its random too cause some days it doesnt happen I am being told by my friends.
did that to me the other day as well. Stock, not rooted thunderbolt. I think its a verizon problem.
Happens to me to like every too months.....

this has happened to me for years off and on. that I know of there's nothing you can do about it.
I'm wondering if this is a problem across the board. Lately in have been running a few different ROMs. Hyperdrive, moar and the most recent moar 5.0.1. I have noticed that my MMS won't go through while I am on WiFi. I don't know if this has been a problem for a while and I haven't noticed it. I really like the app textra, and unjust started using it the other day. I thought that was the issue. Uninstalled it and I am still having the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I really hope someone has a cure for this because it has been driving me insane. I shouldn't have to turn off wifi every time I want to send an mms to someone!
I'm on MOAR 5.0 v13

I'm thinking it's a rom issue because I just wiped my phone and installed cyanogenmod and I can send and receive mms messages over wifi without any trouble
are u using a network extender by chance when your on WiFi?

I always thought it was a network thing. I thought they required you to send and receive MMS through the cell towers because they're stored at Verizon servers before being passed along to the recipient. I had the same issue on my LG Ally, haven't tried MMS over WiFi on my gs3, but now I'm curious.

No, I'm not using a network extender. Interesting thing tho. MMS will not go thru at all on MOAR or Hyperdrive. I flashed bonestock 3.1 and when I send an MMS over wifi, the 4G turns on (so now the wifi icon and 4G are on) and it will send the MMS.......hmmmmmm
MMS / SMS are both sent over data networks, as this is the only way VZW can count how many you send, thus being able to bill those who do not have unlimited text messages. (this came from a VZW rep when i called in to get a work order on my phone, as mine wouldn't work)
When the S3 first came out, there was an issue with the devices as a whole, fully stock and unrooted, having problems sending text messages when the phone was on WIFI. The process is, when you hit send, it will shut off your WIFI, switch to data, send message, and then switch back to WIFI without you noticing it.
however, in the beginning, there was an issue with the phone doing this. AND this was even before rooting the phone. VZW and Samsung had to do a fix for their radios to get the phone to work correctly.
so what you are probably seeing, is an issue with that switching, not that the message won't go over WIFI, cuz unless these DEVs have figured out how to make messages go over internet instead of data network, then the issue is a ROM issue with the switch.
hope that makes sense...

Unfortunately, this is the answer that is most often given, but not very helpful (no offense). I think the majority of people with the issue at this point understand that MMS is sent via data networks by design, the problem is, it is not functioning properly. It is NOT shutting off the WiFi, therefore it is not sending at all. I've had different periods of success, where it'll work for a week, then back to the same ****. I've never rooted my phone, so it's a stock ROM issue that still remains.
always had issues sending MMS messages on roms other than stock when I was at home with my network extender...I kept messing with the APN settings last night... I changed the other thing to GSM and tried to connect to at & t towers.. after it failed only then it would have multiple choices of APN settings ..I have all the roaming options checked and the LTE/CDMA is checked...I've been able to send MMS messages with no problem now.

Just an update I'm on liquid smooth 4.2.2 and it automatically turns network data on if I have it off in order to receive/send mms. This is what I was looking for.

Since yesterday morning I receive very few SMSs or calls when wifi is connected.
I installed 4.4.4 a few days before that so I doubt it's that (although I supposed it's possible)
I've reflashed the radio, reflashed 4.4.4 in its entirety, flashed CM11 - all with the same result - when wifi's connected I hardly ever receive any calls or SMSs (no problems dialing out or sending)
Unless anyone else has similar problems I don't think it's worth going back to 4.4.3.
So now I'm left wondering if it's the hardware or the SIM, or...?

do you have a phone signal on wifi?

Yes, I can dial out and send SMSs.
When someone calls you what signal do they get? And their messages stay "pending"?

They either get a ringing tone a few times at their end end then an unavailable tone, or just an unavailable tone / message.
The messages eventually arrive, maybe 6-10 hours later, or when I switch wifi off.

Turn off LTE and I bet it will work. It's been a known issue for awhile with LTE and WIFI on you will miss calls/sms.
Google it and you will see many threads about it.

Weird - I had already read up on that (it seemed to be a pre 4.4.3 problem) and could swear I had already tried switching it without success but now I've switched again it seems to have done the trick - I'm just waiting to get some test SMSs sent. :good:
I wonder why it worked okay until yesterday morning and then just suddenly stopped working - it would suck if I'd paid for 4G!
I suppose it's of some comfort that I'm not the only one on 4.4.4 with this problem...
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/eOToYgJXdrw/discussion[426-450-false]
I've tried it again - back to not receiving calls or SMSs even with 4G turned off unless I'm disconnected from wifi.
A few minutes on the phone to Google - and they're sending me a new phone! :victory:
This is a long standing issue with the N5. A solution that worked for me is to disable keeping WIFI on during sleep. Not sure if that will work for everybody though.

How did that conversation go? When I bought my phone, it took something like 2 hours for it to download the required sprint activation package (I think it was something like 50mb)...And the radio has been giving me grief ever since day 1 with signal constantly dropping any/everywhere...I just thought it was more related to Sprints crummy service in my area though.
So the title pretty much sums it up. I have a rooted sprint nexus 5 running stock 5.0.1. And I'm a still randomly missing calls and texts. Phone doesn't ring. Missed texts and missed call notifications don't appear until rebooting the phone.
I know this was a problem with 4.4 on the nexus 5 but I thought 5.0 was supposed to fix this. Am I do in something wrong? Help would be much appreciated.
Check your network
I'm having the same problem
I have had a Nexus 5 for the last year. It was a great phone but did miss some calls, but had good reception. I recently broke that phone and purchased a newer one. The reception is awful. I had to buy a microcell booster just to work it in my home where I didn't have to before. If the phone has one bar you can't receive or send calls. If it has two bars it's a crap shoot. Often times when I call there will be two bars and as soon as I press send to call someone the phone drops to no bars. Is this a software or phone or hardware problem?
My issue seems to be receiving texts and calls while on wifi. If so, I will get texts really late, or out of order. With phone calls i just may note receive them at all, nor get a missed call or voicemail notification. I've heard some peopl say that the issue an LTE one and switching to 3G helps the problem but I've found that recently that is not the case. If I am on wifi my sprint nexus 5 just cant seem to get it right...
For Sprint, there could be issues with the signaling for voice/sms when on LTE since the N5 is a single radio for everything. Another thing it could be is the modem version. Also if you got a replacement it's possible the connections are just loose inside or one of them is disconnected for the antenna.
I'm on sprint too and I get the notorious double texts has to be something on sprints end

Sorry to necropost, but i'm reviving this to see if anyone else is still having the same problem??? Has this been fixed on Android 5.1 or 5.1.1 ? There has to be a better solution than having to be on 3G and keeping wifi on only when phone is awake. Help or advanced knowledge of the problem would be appreciated.
Its Sprint, it sucks
