I have a friend that I text often. She picked up a Fascinate about a year or so ago, after I told her I loved mine. Her phone is 100% stock. The issue is, I can send her a lengthy text message.......and the majority of the time she'll get about 30-40% of the text I sent. The other 60-70% of the text she receives at that time is from a previous lengthy text, probably from 6mo ago or better. It is getting to be the norm here lately, and is really frustrating since I ultimately have to send her a screenshot of the whole text I tried to send to her. It just seems really odd. She is using Handcent SMS. Should I get her to delete or clear any specific folder/file on her phone? Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA

I am having the same issues. I am in the UK and I am using a Samsung GS3 LTE version. It seems to be a OS wide issue. Does anybody have a fix for this? I have cleared all caches etc and restored the phone. The only thing other than this would be to order a new sim. I dont think that will help though. I would appreciate any help at all with this, as OP said, it is a very frustrating issue and makes a basic function on another phone/OS very long winded.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi all.
First off a great site here. I am new to android (well not strictly true I did have the Desire when it very first came out and I hated it sold it after a week) Any way I am now converted to Android from Iphone. So I am a complete and utter noob
I have got the the S2 and what a phone, never miss a phone call or antenna problems on this puppy.
So my problem is when I get a text msg it only reads out the number of the person and does not read the actual txt. When I get phone calls it tells me who is ringing. This is a problem for me as I want this for when I am driving. Please help.
I have not rooted my phone yet as I said I am a complete noob. Does not look as easy as jailbreak.
Thank you very much. Look forward to your response and no doubt I'll get told off for reposting but I have looked now for 3 days
This phone can do this? I would like to know how to set this up.. I would love for the phone to tell me who is calling...please tell me how to do this...I am new to the Droid as well...came from BB...

Double press/tap HOME key to bring ON Voice Talk.
Turn ON Driving Mode.
Hit the MENU button --> Settings -->Scroll down --> Voice Talk Settings --> "TICK" Show body of message.
I suppose that should solve your problem
(It sometimes takes a while to read out the message depending on your connection..so plz be a lil patient Cheers)
Not really the same thing. There should be a way in android to have it announce who is calling or just texted you without leaving in driving mode constantly. Symbian used to have this,but I don't believe Android does.

I just use Tasker for this, though some would balk at spending on an app worth 5 dollars for a phone worth a hundred times that =)
Hi all. I have the sg2 and I love it. Running Calkunlins E4GT v2.8.1 Rom and it flies. Great battery really nothing to complain about until you have to read an email. I use exchange server for business and rely heavily on my phone for emails. I have called Samsung, chatted with Samsung and emailed with Samsung about this issue and none seams to know what I am talking about or how to resolve the issue. I came from the HTC Evo and this was not an issue. I have tried several different ROMS and I have checked with other people who have the same phone and we all have the same problem. Frankly I am surprised there isn't a fix or more people complaining about this. The issue is the text does not wrap in emails and a word will be broken and split between 2 lines. This makes it very annoying to read emails on my phone and I read a lot of emails. I have attached a screenshot of an example. If anyone know how to resolve this issue I would love to know. I have tried looking in all the settings for a way to format it but I cannot seem to find anything. When I called Samsung they basically told me they didn't have a solution and they were sorry. When I chatted with them they told me to call, and when I repeatedly emailed them about the issue even after I told them in an email that when I called they had no answer they continuously told me to call. They had no interest in attempting to figure out why this is happening. thanks for your time.
Hi Everyone
I am not new to the forums, i have been reading it for a long time but decided to join today because i don't know if anyone has ever experienced something like the problem i am having.
Whatever i type in my phone whether it is a text message, a whatsapp message or a google search appears in a friend's phone 5000 miles away
Here is a little bit of a history. This friend logged in to his facebook etc from my phone when his phone got stolen in Brazil back in January. He then got a new Samsung Galaxy s3(the problem didn't occur with that new phone) then he switched to an S4 1 month ago. After he switched to s4 he says everything i type shows up on his phone. He lives in Tirkey i am in USA. Somehow these two phones are connected but i don't know how.
Has anyone ever heard a problem like this?

Does he format the S3 ? Try to remove his gmail and it should be fine.

He is my best friend and i have known him for 25 years. He sent me screenshots from his phone. For instance my searches come up in his search history. My text messages are in his messages folder. He sends me screenshots every night showing the searches i made that day. Or the messages i sent. He can't see the responses i get but everything i type in my phone is also in his phone.
I don't have teamviewer on my phone. But i know how it works and this is not it. One thing i could think of is Google + and Google Now. Somehow Google or Samsung connected these two phones

Hi y'all,
new Honor 7 owner here, and quite happy with it so far!
Anyway, I face a bug while texting : I randomly get an error message saying my text was not sent, even if generally (but not each time!) the recipient actually receives the text correctly.
This seems to be a common problem that is already discussed on a French android forum, many Honor 7 users here seem to face the same issue, and we still haven't found exactly when it happens : we highly suspect it only happens when the phone is on 4G, no problem when it's on 3G/H+... Can't figure out why anyway.
But what strikes me is that I haven't found anything on that on forums from other countries, like here on xda for instance : have you guys heard of that terrible issue?
I said "terrible" because when you send a text, you're never sure the recipient really received, that's pretty much stressful!
Thanks for your replies!
Hi soulboogaloo, this is a know issue and it should be fixed on the next update of Emui (no date communicated by Honor)
Thanks a lot for the information. I have this bug too and I also noticed that it happens sometimes but only in 4G !
The first day with my phone, I sent some texts 6 times and people told to stop spamming them xD
Thanks. I can't wait for the next update (and for Android 6.0), EMUI is really cool !
The first OTA update didn't solve the problem.
Did any of you guys ecountered the same problem ?
I noticed that long SMS are instantly having "Send Error" but the text message is sent anyway and when the return receipt arrives, the error disappears.
Really need a fix on that problem. SMS is a basic functionality on a phone and should be stable !
The same problem here. "Fixing" by disabling 4G sucks. Why would I buy 4G phone then? Hope HW will do anything about this soon. Sad fact is that they do not really respond to complaints.
Anyway, yesterday I dicovered another problem when my Honor 7 was not receiving any sms nearly whole day. I only found out when my friends scolded me for not answering. They said their phones said their messages were delivered, but I did not get anything. After restart the phone started to receive texts again, but the texts sent before have never arrived. It looks they got lost somewhere.
This is even more annoying then the first problem as I do not know when I am able to receive messages.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Thx!
Yes, I'm facing both of these problems in London & Milton Keynes with my recently purchased Honor 7. Might have to send it back to Amazon.

I have same issue even on WiFi. Turning airplane mode on and off tends to solve it but it has made me want to dump this phone and 3 network asap. Vi have recently ran an update on my phone and it seems worse than ever.
Is this issue still there?
I'm not sure if this problem is isolated to me or if it affects everyone, so I thought I'd ask.
tl;dr: text messages don't persist on the phone, and in Google Messenger in particular, outgoing texts don't display as part of the conversation.
I use Google Messenger by default, and I noticed that none of the text messages I sent were appearing in the conversation history. Turns out, they weren't reaching the recipients either.
I switched to Google Hangouts, and all of the texts I received from (and sent to) other people before my upgrade were present, but any texts I received from others were gone.
I tried deleting and reinstalling Google Messenger, thinking maybe it was a version/cache thing, and again, any text I received before the upgrade was present, but none since the upgrade, including any I had received while using Google Hangouts.
Something definitely seems f%@#ed up here. Am I alone?

Same here. Verizon's messaging app works though, and actually seems half decent.
Yep just got off phone with VZ support and that is the workaround (use Verizon Messages Plus) they are doling out as a fix to the problem, says tech will be getting in touch with Sony for fix and may be another small update for it.
Lots of reddit users are having the same issue. If you're up for it, it looks like a factory reset will fix the problem.
Had to do a frigging factory reset, but all works well now

I haven't had many phones. I'm assuming this doesn't happen to often, cause this is crazy. What if only 10% of you having update issues needed your phone for work? How can companies stay in business doing this kind of thing?

If it is a company supplied phone I would think that any modifications would be forbidden, any good IT department would be on top of any shananagans as such. I'm IT for the corporate office I work at (don't be impressed, I'm the office Alphageek and won the title by default.) and when corporate supplied the phones they maintained tight rein over the units. Now we are "bring your own device". As such if your phone is critical for your job and you bork it I would expect corporate to tell you to fix the problem ASAP even if it means buying another phone.

That must have you hopping all over the place like a rabbit trying to fix everyone's issues. But I was speaking more about Verizon's consumer base relying upon their phones in general.

My bad, I see your point now. For an official update this one has created a world of grief for many that installed it via the "official" route. Usually a factory reset is a last resort to many and apparently for this update it looks like a required step.
[EDIT] Just checked the official Verizon forums. People are struggling with the same problems that are being posted here. It looks like a couple have figured out a factory reset works and are trying to spread the word, there is very little Verizon help showing up.

A few years ago it did back when we were running a mix of name brand systems (Dell, Gateway and HP). I would say it occupied 30-50% of my time, since then we have standardized on Dells running Windows 7. That is a bulletproof combination in an office environment. I know everyone bad mouths Dells but since we with Dell/Win 7 my workload has dropped 90%.

Do you realize that the text issue is completely unrelated to any "modification". This phone was "borked" by a VZ-pushed OTA. I had to do a factory reset last night, lost my corporate e-mail set up through Touchdown. I also missed communications previously, while I was unaware of the texting issue. Those texts are just "gone" now. This is very poor form on the part of VZ, not even checking that texting will continue to work after users upgrade.

I wasn't implying you goofed up your phone, just following up on AddictedtoGlass's comments, sorry if it came across that I was.
Yeah, this update does seem to be causing more grief than usual. That may be keeping with the comments I stumbled across in Verizon's forums claiming that the code sent to Verizon by Sony wasn't "up to snuff" in Verizon's opinion and that is why Verizon sit on the update so long. Looks like they should have sit on it a little bit longer. I'm on 5.0.2 and my phone is pretty stable so I'm content to stay there until this is all straightened out, if ever.
I have been trying to find more info on Verizon's community forums but they have managed to make their forums so hard to navigate now that finding particular threads is almost impossible. I guess that is one way of controlling the flood of complaints.
