I flashed CM7 TG reloaded last night and so far I'm loving it! Everything seemed to be working fine at first (i.e.- placed and received calls, sent and received SMS and MMS). After I performed said tests to make sure the ROM was functioning properly I went ahead and began restoring all my previous apps through Titanium Backup. It all went without a hitch until this morning when I tried sending a SMS. I'm using the default messaging app and where the "Sent: x:xx" would be displayed, it instead stays on "Sending...". Incoming SMS messages are also not coming in (I tried sending multiple texts from my gf's phone.) The odd thing is I can send and receive MMS without any issues and the phone will both send and receive delayed SMS if I place a phone call. Also, all incoming phone calls do not get through to me.
So to clarify, I CAN make phone calls and send MMS. I CAN'T receive phone calls or send/receive SMS UNLESS I place a phone call. Any help would be appreciated.
I just did a factory reset on my phone, cleared data/cache, wiped dalvik cache, and reflashed the ROM. I have not restored any of my apps so I'm running a clean install. I'm still experiencing the same issues. If there is a step I'm missing it'd be great to know so I have a fully functioning phone. Should I wipe /system as well or would that not help? I'm open to any suggestions at this point.
One more thing I've observed is that the signal strength stays at -120dBm until I open a call. Once a call is opened I gain signal strength to about -89dBm (this is at home for me) and that's when I receive a swarm of texts and any texts I tried to send prior to calling get sent. Is this any indication of something? If anyone could help, please do. I really don't want to go back to the stock rom haha.
edit: Ok, so if I disable the EvDo network then all of my problems are solved. Obviously I'd like to keep 3G, but this is where I'm at right now.
SAME PROBLEM. Started this past week. Was fine for months on TG reloaded.
I was thinking it was new app related, but you wiped and still have the problem?
I'm not going to wipe if you already tried it.
I'm going to try turning off EVDO and see what happens.
edit: INSTANTLY dozens of missing texts sent/received when going from EVDO only to CDMA only mode!
I am pondering if flashing back to stock ROM and re-running Virgin Activation app would help....
Damn I wish you could run Activation in CM7
So last night I did a little more digging... ended up clearing data and cache on messaging app, powering down, removing the battery for 30 min, powering back up and switching radio to cdma/evdo (vs one or the other).
So far texts / sms are working today, and I have neither made nor received any phone calls. Perhaps incoming are still going straight to voicemail, but I receive very few calls so I will check later.

Things seemed to also work for me when I went into System select (the option in Mobile network settings) and changed the cdma roaming mode from "Home", which was selected by default, to "Automatic". Haven't run into problems since changing that setting.
Well, I found this in the TG-Reloaded thread: "DO NOT use the Titanium Backup App, which can cause more problems"
I flashed mine about a week ago and haven't had any problems.
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!
My text messages are delayed on T-mobile with the new xperia Z3 D6616. I dont get texts until hours after they are sent. I have tried to use the stock sony messaging, hangouts, textra, and whatsapp. they all have huge delay. I have restored to factory settings since I thought it was from switching from iphone and bringing text history with me...... after the restore to factory with no contacts or text history, there is still a several hour delay on texts. please help!!

Might be a sim or network issue, mine works fine. Take it to TMO and try out a new sim.

Is it SMS or MMS? If you have wifi calling enabled and its active, you will not be able to send/receive MMS. SMS should work though. Otherwise, maybe its an outage in your area.
thanks guys. i did a restore, removed all my old iphone text history, and turned off wifi calling. it seams to be working, but i tried turning off wifi calling before all this. I am using textra now, not sure if I like the battery consumption or not yet, but its fast now. mms seams to be going through fast now too.
on a side note, the stock Sony messaging app is terrible for mms messages, and just texting in general i think.

I just let Hangouts handle my SMS/MMS, you can do the same.

I was having issues with texts not sending. I found on another forum people disabling VoLTE and so far thats been working for me. Sucks not being able to use VoLTE but maybe it'll work in a future update.

Sorry to bring this from the dead. I am an AT&T customer and I have D6606 that works perfectly fine but I don't get text messages when I'm connected to WiFi.
How did you disable VoLTE?

Must only be on the T-Mobile version.
having the same issues with tmob. this is my second z3. not sure what the problem is
What does it say under Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> My phone number?
If it says unknown, try fixing that. I had to stick my SIM into an old BB Curve and edit the MSISDN. Since then Hangouts has been grouping iMessage MMS correctly
I'm also on my second Z3 (T-Mobile) right now. Everything they've told me to "fix" the solution in which my text messages aren't sending through until I retry 5-8 times, has yet to work permanently.
I've just now turned off the VoLTE to see if that will help. I've been told to turn off Wi-Fi calling automatically (even if that feature is turned off anyways) and that helped for what seemed like 24 hours. I've done several Master Resets and those, again, only helped for a day or two.
I downloaded Sony's PC Companion and all that did, essentially, was another Master Reset to my phone while saying "Software has been updated."
Now I'm still struggling with the same issue in which my phone won't send texts. I called Sony and talked to them; they're only offering a refurbished replacement. Otherwise, they said to hold the power button and the volume up button at the same time to do a power cycle. This fixes the phone temporarily, but not permanently. Plus, I don't feel like turning my phone on and off 5-7 times a day if necessary. None of my previous Xperia models needed this.
So after I use my phone with VoLTE off for a while, I'll report back. Otherwise... This might be the downfall of Xperia for me.

I am having the same issue as well. So is probably a software issue. Hopefully T-Mobile can update soon. It's really annoying. Are you also having problem receiving texts? People send me texts but I never receive them.
:[ Still having issues
Sorry for bringing up the old-ish thread but I'm becoming quite irritated over this issue. I got the phone as a bday gift last month, but since then I've been also experiencing these messaging outages. Before, it was a text delayed by some time, which progressed to some hours, and now some texts I don't receive at all until AFTER I restart the phone. The phone actually will show two timestamps (via the textra app, which I also downloaded to try and help alleviate the problem, but it hasn't) that show when i finally viewed the text (after restart) and when the text "should" have arrived. I notice the problem mostly persists when the phone has been on hiatus for a while; typically if I'm still actively using/looking at the phone or texting, the messages sent from people will arrive when they were sent. But, once the screen has been off for some time, that's when SMS arrives delayed/after phone restart and MMS are just a lost cause. I'm on the TMO service, and trying to contact them have been less than helpful. Literally, they just told me to text myself, and when I said "yes, the text arrived" they assumed the problem was fixed despite me telling them IF I'M LOOKING AT MY PHONE, MOST OF THE TIME THE TEXT WILL ARRIVE. So, I'm also partially ranting about their customer service. I've tried disabling the WiFi, I've already swapped the phone, I've tried tinkering with some of the settings about having data run while phone is off, and nothing has fixed the issue.
Thanks for bringing the thread back up. I have noticed that I have intermittant text sending issues, too. As well as receiving issues (it has been about 3 days now since my wife received the same MMS sitting right next to me with her SGS4. I didn't pay attention if they were when I was connected to wifi, etc, but I just tried disabling volte and will update as I come to more conclusions.
Come to think of it, I have another weird thing with group messages. When I respond, I'll get the same text I send out back, from myself.
Omg this is happening. Seriously nothing but disappoint on this phone on t-mobile. No group text, and trouble sending out some sms.. Hope for an update. Battery has been dying faster too 17 hrs. And sony remote play is just choppy now....3 month on this phone. Sad

My phone has suddenly decided to no longer send or receive sms at all on Sprint. I've been running Sabermodded SlimKat for months with no issues whatsoever and just the other day SMS suddenly stopped. It says the text sends in any messaging app I use but it never actually seems to send. If I try to text myself to test it also I get no messages back when though it says they all send. The weird thing is MMS is working fine, I can send myself pictures and any one of my contacts, but I do not see their SMS messages or my own, none are getting through. I tried wiping and flashing over to 5.0 (Cataclysm) instead and I still cannot send sms. I've tried updating my PRL and Profile many times, Reflashing a flashable Sprint APN zip, manually setting APN in hangouts, messenger, textra, qksms etc. I've tried flashing different radios on 4.4.4 (before I flashed 5.0 now I just have the final L preview radio) and I have even tried removing the sim card and rebooting before placing it back in. Has anyone encountered this issue before? I am at a loss.
Try downgrading to 1x only and see if it works?

Just tried it, sms still isn't going through, 1x only 3g only or LTE only.
Might try going back to the stock rom and seeing if it works then. That would probably be the easiest way to make sure it isn't the device or the rom you are using.
Are you able to make calls?
Does the data connection work still?
Was texting removed/blocked on your account?

Did you take an OTA? Update to Lollipop? If so, you may need to flash the Sprint fix.
After a lot of trial and error I ended up calling sprint since I've never had just sms fail while mms still worked. Turns out my MIN number wiped itself (somehow?) and have since gotten it resolved. Sadly I don't really have the slightest idea how it happened since I had been using the same kitkat rom as my daily driver for months. Thanks for the suggestions and attempts to figure out what was wrong.
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.
