I have been having problems trying to sent text messages. When I try to send one it sets there trying to sent and as it does i have watched the signal drop down to one bar and eventually it will fail. I'm also having problems with missed calls not showing in the call log and when I go to call someone it doesn't do anything after several attempts it will start dialing... any suggestions?

Has anyone else noticed that their SMS's are automatically sent more than once. Yesterday a message I sent in the morning was re-sent 5 times, I didnt notice until the person receiving them asked why Id sent the same one multiple times.
I checked the Thread, the message sent time had been updated to the latest time even though that was after the next set of messages in the thread.
I looked in the Sent Box which is obviously empty in the threaded view, then in the Outbox, the message was still in there, it took a few attempts to delete it but I managed to get there in the end.
Anybody else noticed this?
Im using a home grown 6.1 using the pandora 9b1 kitchen...
i didnt notice this precise issue but i hated the way there was no message in sentbox and the sent message stayed in outbox for ages so reverted to ordinary texts
I'm not sure, but it might be related to the issue seen by the guys using the Palm 's Threaded SMS app... They have a theory over there that it's related to closing the app immediately...[post=1441023]
I had similar problem, when something happend with my 3G connection. Sometimes it stuck. I can't make a call, and no one can call me. ( 3G icon appears )And when i try to send sms, it stuck for a while, and then sends few sms's in the same time...
So I seem to have a messaging problem I cannot figure out. I can't pinpoint exactly when it started happening but it was around the time I installed 7 RC 1 or nightly 38...
I only get my messages in bunches some time after they are sent. Its like after a while multiple texts get pushed through, just not when they were sent from the person. Sometimes i get multiple texts in the wrong order. I've also figured out the only way to get the texts to come through is when i call someone. Once i call someone, multiple texts push through.....really strange
Its like the phone has to actively access the network before is receives text messages...
I have no clue what this could be, any suggestions
in before... "this is in the wrong forum, learn to post in the right forum"
But try *228, updating the PRL, if not try reinstalling. If it still stays like that, go back to a stock 2.2 and then re root and go from there.

If you are using Google Voice, try clearing cache and data from "manage apps" < "All". If it persists check your GV setup, and check on your PC if you are seeing the same symptoms in your GV inbox.
I'm having a weird problem with 2-3 people in my contact list never getting any of my text messages. I've tried flashing over many other roms and sprint even 'reset the device' remotely, to which nothing helped. Anyone ever run into this? Also, this problem doesn't seem to be on their end - as they can send me SMS just fine.
this is strange. now i'm only getting texts when i place a phone call, like 10-20 are coming in at once.
All of my SMS and MMS messages seem to be sending out fine as I recieve no "unable to send" errors, but my contacts are not always recieving my messages. This seems to be happening more often lately, and affects MMS more than SMS. I am not sure if this problem has to do with signal strength as my phone usually shows 2 to 4 bars, but sometimes drops to 1 or 0 bars and then goes back up again. Could something be wrong with my antennae? Perhaps when I am sending out the messages that are not recieved, my signal strength is bouncing around but not being updated graphically on the phone, and the messages are "lost" in the system or not being sent out at all?
This also seems to affect some of my contacts more than others, so maybe it also has to do with their signal strength, although I have not heard of them complaining about their text message not being recieved by their contacts or not recieving messages (except from me). I always thought if you could not recieve a text message because of a bad connection, it would be recieved when your connection was finally good.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Seeing all my messages sent out fine but not knowing if they are being recieved makes communication via text message rather stressful.
Thanks
What about receiving? I have a friend that keeps missing MMS I send but I always get hers. It's really frustrating.

My brother has T-Mobile (we on family plan) and my sister in law has Verizon and they both didnt get my MMS message, as well as my neice on Mobi.
Update: I sent a message today to my brother and he got the message and all the other ones that I sent but he did not recieve. I also instantly got a MMS message he sent a few days ago. I am not sure if my messages were stuck in the T-Mobile system itself, or my message today triggered my phone or the system to send the rest. Perhaps there is an issue with the tower located two block from my house?
Tmobile issue dude . I almost broke up :-/

Yea I had a pic from Thursday show up on Saturday.
Can you do me a favor? Check your call log. I hadn't mad any calls in the last few days but I had like 80 in the logs. They were both incoming and outgoing and all said "cancelled". I'm wondering if it's cause of all the failed texts...
I have to say this pisses me off because some of my contacts periodically don't receive my messages. Very frustrating especially when it happens mid conversation and then you wait days thinking that the other person is ignoring and vice versa. It's making me seriously consider switching phones.

Me too had been having this issue lately.
I see it as the sandy effect here on the east coast. has been improving slowly though.

My call logs is displaying all of my incoming and outgoing calls correctly. I have not had any issues recently with messages not being recieved by my contacts either, so prehaps the JB update fixed something? I am not sure if it is T-Mobile or the closest tower either because others on T-Mobile in my area have not experienced this problem (or perhaps not enough to notice anything). I will monitor signal strength and double check with my contacts if they are recieving my messages.
Weird.. I can't figure out the call log thing cuz I have incoming calls that say cancelled. It spent really make sense. I thought it must be related to the texts being goofy.
The problem with the call log is that it doesn't really show what we want. How? How would you know if you didn't get someone's text unless they told you? Or what if your phone says it sent the message but the other person didn't get it? What gives? The phone always sends the text but the recipient doesn't always receive it. That's why I used to use delivery reports but on this phone they're too annoying and the system is poorly implemented compared to stock Android (which has the best implementation) or even HTC Sense.

I have certain friends that use either ATT or Tmobile, and sometimes when they text, they go off and send maybe 4-6 texts one right after the other. If I try to text back as I'm receiving texts I get an error message, I think it says Error message 34. I also notice that if I try to send multiple texts like that, the little loading icon comes up and they slowly get sent off one by one. I had the same problem with my HTC EVO 3D on Sprint and even my Palm Pre, they're all so painfully slow when it comes to texting.
My only remedy around this has been to use Google Voice and text using data with my other number, but I don't really give it out to anyone so it wouldn't make sense to do that, plus it can't receive picture mail.
Is this just a flaw of Sprint? I'm using the oem texting app. If you want to replicate this issue, you could use google voice on your computer to try to send multiple texts to your phone and try to text back with your phone as you're receiving them. Your text will either hang there for a while and eventually send maybe 30-40 seconds later, or it will just error out and you have to manually resend it.
edit: just realized that this thread may be in the wrong section.. I don't see a delete option unfortunately :\
Yes it is in the wrong section. It should be in Q / A . Ask a Mod to please move it. As for your issue I would lean toward it being a Network issue. Reason being, I've run into it before. Check online, or call Sprint. Ask them if they are doing any work in your area. You can also try Updating PRL /Profile. If that still does not resolve it you can try ##72786# . That will reset your Data. Make sure you leave it alone, and let it finish.
