Losing SMS messages - on 0.6 Fresh ROM

Hey everyone! Yesterday, for the first time since I rooted and upgraded my ROM, I did not receive txts from anyone even though I sent our several texts - even spoke to my friends today who said that they responded. And it wasn't Sprint's fault, cos even after rebooting my phone, they wouldn't come through. But texts sent after rebooting would come through successfully.
Any idea why? I went through a whole day thinking my friends were ignoring me. Not a great feeling on Thanksgiving's eve

FYI - I've just set up Google Calendar to send me an SMS alert every hour just to make sure that I'm receiving txts from now on. It's not the easiest workaround, but at least if I'm down, I'll know it's just for an hour. Any thoughts?

I'm gonna say it's not the ROM and blame it on Thanksgiving.

If HTCIQ force closes on your phone for any reason then every thing will functional properly including sending texts, but you won't receive any. And a reboot won't cause them to come through. I'm not saying that's what happened (did you have any FC's?) but it's possible.
But just like vox said, there's no reason to think it's the rom. There have been 325 downloads of 0.6 so if there was an issue, it would be a known one. Kind of one of those "if you are the only one experiencing the problem...." type of things.

FYI, so far I've received my Google Calendar hourly alerts for 12, 1, 3 & 4 pm (it's now 4.27pm PST) but the 2pm one did not come through I remember yesterday that I had a force close message for the Voice Recorder app. Could it be possible it's one of the apps running in the background?
What's HTCIQ? And how do I prevent it from FC'ing?

Do you have any themes or optimizations or anything other than fresh 0.6? Are you using clear as a bell?
How did you put voice recorder back on?

Nothing of the sort, just been installing apps. Haven't optimized or changed themes at all. So far today, every hourly txt from my Google Calendar came in except for the 2pm one. I'm going to have it send me hourly texts from now on just to make sure I won't go by more than an hour without receiving one. I know it's a random and sporadic issue and there's probably no fix, but I just wanted to put it out there in case it happens to someone else.

Are you using any sort of task killer?

Good question.

I have TasKiller installed but I stopped using it over the last few days. I'm still experiencing receiving issues. My Google calendar alerts have decided to skip every other hour now Especially in the middle of the night. Fri night, the last alert came in at 9pm and the next one came in at 1am. This sucks

I experienced this problem for the first time last night. Texts were sent and nothing showed on the phone. Once I rebooted texts came through but only new ones. Any texts sent while the phone was apparently having issues ended up in /dev/null. Since I've read about this happening previously on other, non-rooted and non-flashed, Heros I test occasionally just to make sure things are working as expected and always right before I go to sleep.
The force close theory makes a lot of sense to me. The Mail app did a force close 2-3 times yesterday. if HTCIQ did a force close I was not notified.

Whatsapp problem. Only receiving messages when screen turned on.

Hey guys!
I installed this rom on my sgs 4g. I really like it, and i didn't have any problems yet. As many others i am using the whatsapp messenger, and i am having some trouble with it. I only receive new messages ones i turned on my screen, or even ones i opened the app. Actually it is supposed to be working like the normal message app, so you are getting a notification when you get a message even if you have the phone in your pocket and you're not using it. It is really annoying me, because i am missing messages very often and after like an hour i am like: "oh, i should probably check my whatsapp". and than i realized that i got messages hours ago. When i first installed whatsapp it gave me a warning that i have installed a custom rom, and that i won't get any support by the support team if i have trouble, since it's probably the rom that is causing the problems. I hope somebody can help me. I don't really want to install a new rom if necessary.
Thanks guys! -de4dw0lf

So you don't have to click through: [ROM][MTD][4.0.4][AROMA]PARANOIDANDROID-v1.6a

That warning is a scape-goat for the app dev to refuse to fix their broken code. It sounds like there is a problem syncing and that would be the apps fault not a rom.

You don't by any chance have bln control in use do you? On AOKP if I use it, my notifications stop working until I disable it

[Q] SMS don't sent sometimes, to some people

First off, I have already found the SMSC help threads and verified my message center is the correct one for AT&T.
Sometimes, when I send SMS to certain people (random people?) the phone will say they are sent but the recipient will not get the message until 3-4 hours later. In the mean time I can text other people normally.
It gets weirder, I was thinking it was an inter-carrier issue, but if I reboot my phone, all of the missing messages will suddenly arrive at the recipient's phone. Its as if the phone tells me they are sent while they are in some backed up queue?
I was using Scott's regular build (several versions where I have this problem intermittently) and just upgraded to his beanstalk build and have the same issue.
I use GoSMS for my messaging.
Anyone heard of anything like this or can direct me to some help?
Much thanks!
And major props to Scott for his wonderful builds, my phone has never worked so well, minus whatever this issue is!

MMS and Notification issues on Note 10+

Hello, I've had the unlocked Note 10+ for a few weeks and have had chronic issues since day one and not really sure what to do about it. A lot of the issues seem to get worse over time. Not sure if the problems are related, but it feels like it.
First, I have MMS issues mostly with any other app but the built in messaging app and even that one isn't perfect. Using Textra for instance will get me MMS timeouts sending and receiving and sometimes messages don't send or come in. This seems to happen with or without wifi enabled.
Next, I'm getting delayed notifications on many if not all apps. Notifications will some in here or there, then all of a sudden I'll get all the notifications for the day all at once. So suddenly my phone is going crazy receiving 50 notifications from different apps all at once. Related to that, if I get a notification and click on it to open the related app, often nothing happens. Then like an hour or more later the app I clicked on for the notification will pop open in the middle of doing something else. It will also get hung up installing or updating apps. A reboot will usually clear this but at some point it get's stuck again and will take hours to install an app if it does at all.
I've done all the usual things like disabling battery optimization for the apps in question, set the phone to high performance mode. Uninstalled and reinstalled things, cleared the cache partition, reset network settings, checked APN settings, even now have factory reset the phone, twice, got a new SIM card. Talked to Samsung and they tell me I need to mail it to their repair depot in Texas if I think it's hardware.
So no idea where to go with this. Seems hard to believe it's a hardware problem and sending the phone away for a week or more doesn't seem like a great option, especially when they might just send it back as it works OK for awhile after a reboot.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

After you reset the phone, did you install apps manually from store or let it go off a backup?
Also, just an idea but maybe the tower servicing you is acting up.. Unless it's been happening in multiple areas.

That is a good point, I did let it install automatically from the Google backup. It wasn't a true restore the way I would generally think of it as everything was installed from scratch, but maybe some settings are getting put back that are messed up. It happens out of the are as well, but I did talk to my carrier and they claimed the did some stuff at the tower that might help. I usually think that means they go get coffee then tell me to reboot the phone. Maybe this evening I'll try a fresh install with no restore. Sort of sucks of course as that's a lot more work to get going, but what the hell at this point. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. I have a note 10+ myself now unlocked and seeing some texting issues where I don't receive text or mms from Apple phones. Hasn't happened with Android to Android though.

So none of that reinstall stuff helped me. On texting I finally tried the Google Messages app with chat features enabled when it was leaked. Messages alone didn't work, but enabling RCS did and now it actually works better than ever. I hate giving up on textra, but I like the sheer speed of sending giant MMS messages now.
On the notifications thing, the thing that finally got that working right was disabling the Google app. As soon as I did that, all is working as expected. Of course that breaks some Google stuff, but at the moment that's what I have to do to make this work. Even upgrading to Android 10 betas didn't allow me to turn that back on.

Is anyone NOT getting text messages?

I'm on OB4. It has been this way since 3, and yes I've tried a factory reset.
Seems like people who send me texts never get their messages through.
I've tried just shy of everything. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using Textra Pro btw

Yes it is happening to me too.. Many a times i wont get the otp. I thought it was carrier issue.

makes me feel a little bit better. i was beginning to think all my friends started hating me

Same here. I was on the Official and had to go back to Android 9. Really sucks because I really liked 10

I installed carrier services from the play store, and it seems to be making it better

I wasn't getting them in the google messenger app and couldnt' download attachments (oneplus messenger or whatever it's called is disabled). I just installed this, looking forward to my next mms.

did it fix it?

I have had this issue on Android 10 only.
I've pinpointed it to when the phone is inactive for I don't know how long.. I work third shift, so sleep in the am woke up everyday for 2 weeks to texts **** down calling worked..
Only fix is reboot.
Temp fix is a scheduled shutdown and start up while I sleep and phone charges. Haven't had issues in a week now. I'm running atnt and Verizon side by side

Did you find a fix for this?

I was having issues with the stock messaging app, did not get a lot of text, or have them send either. It did not matter what network the recipient/sender was on. I switched to google messages and have not had the issue repeat itself. I am on tmo, and this happened to me months back.
