I've noticed that my texts aren't immediately sending. I've only had the phone for a few days, but I had this problem on the stock rom and also on flashed rom's.
For example, I sent a text about two hours ago, but I just checked my messages and the time beside it shows a couple of minutes ago.
Anybody know what's up?
i've never experienced that but have have got the message notifying me that it was unable to send the message and asks if i want to try again. And usually when i do click try again the message pops up a second time and later i find out that the recipient has received the message multiple times.
Have you tried calling your provider and seeing if there experiencing any network issues in your area?
so recently like the past 2 months my phone has had pauses that are rather extended and can be up to ten minutes sometimes where i am unable to access the sms page and i can receive texts but it wont alert me until it seems to catch up.
i thought it may have just been the large amount of texts i had so i decided to just flash a new rom and not restore the texts.
then last night after flashing a few hours earlier and having only maybe 40 or so texts in and out it did its pause.
anyone else experience this? or have a fix
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!
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.
About a week ago I noticed my messages would say "Sent" but not "Delivered" and I confirmed that they wouldn't get my message until it says delivered. It takes almost the exact same amount of time each message, 2 minutes. I have 3 bars always, usually full service. Strangely enough, this only happens with some contacts. If I text myself, it's also delayed. I cleared my caches multiple times and cleared up storage on my phone. It'll go away for some time, but has come back 3 times now. Is the problem the phone or my service? Or their service? The people it doesn't delay with have my Service Provider, which is Verizon. Pictures will send at normal speed, and send before my SMS as well. Thanks in advance.
