[Q] Unable to receive texts - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I am on jivy's ICScrewed 2.1 ROM running Siyah's last GB kernel. From time to time, my phone will suddenly become unable to receive text messages. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891427. I do believe it's the same issue, but I was wondering if anyone knows the cause. I have been using this ROM for a while now, and this never happened. Only a couple months ago did this start occuring. Then lately, it's been happening more frequently. Instead of having to wipe and recover maybe once every 3 months, it's been turning into every month, then every 2 weeks, and twice within one week this week. It's just a pain in the ass to have to keep doing this. I'm not sure if it's the ROM itself. If it was, then wouldn't I have been experiencing this when I first started using the ROM? If anyone has a (permanent) fix for this, I'd appreciate it. I hate waking up to no texts. Makes me feel lonely.

I've been having the same problem intermittently. I had it today and 2 days ago. The temporary fix is to take the SIM card out of my phone and put it in my old BB Bold 9700 to get the missed texts then put the SIM back into my SGS2. Then the texting works again. But the problem eventually comes back. It's not a ROM problem. I'm rooted and using a Gingerbread ROM. I don't know what causes this. I've tried wiping the Dalvik cache and deleteing old text messages and this didn't seem to work. The SIM switching seems to be the only trick. I haven't called ATT. (They are usually in denial when there is some kind of issue on their end.)
If you find a solution then please post it!!!

I have had the same problem. Running the same ROM for a long problem then recently (~last 2 months) it started happening. I was running Sashir's Aberration ROM but it was the old (pre Dec. 2012) version.
One time I contacted at&t and they said my sim was an old outdated version so they gave me a new one which fixed the problem... for a couple weeks. I may go several days receiving no texts (send works fine) then all the sudden I get them all in one batch. After that it will receive texts fine until it eventually happens again.
I just flashed the new Aberration and hopefully it stops happening.

Txt message threads out of order

So I know I saw this somewhere but I cant seem to find it anywhere now. I am having a problem with my txt messages coming in earlier than they should. My outgoing have the correct time but my incoming in the thread is always about a half hour too early and end up making it so my threaded convos are seperated. Does anyone know how to fix this? It never did this before and just started last night after I installed a battery mod. Its really quite annoying.
samething started happening to me last night. no idea whats causing it, I havent made any changes to my phone since root a few weeks ago. still on stock fwiw
hmm I was thinking it was the time change but I was txting last night when the time changed and everything was fine after that. Then I stopped txting and installed a battery mod and the touch wiz mod and this morning I noticed none of my messages were coming in correctly. I know there is an app called smstimefix but i'd rather not have to use an app (using some battery and resources) to fix something that was working before.
mine seems to be more than a time issue, im having trouble receiving texts at all now, everything is coming in like 30 minutes late and often in mass groups of messages.
Nice to see I'm not the only one.
It's the Y2K bug back for revenge! Just really late.... kinda like my text messages....
So nobody has a fix for this?
same
I had the same problem yesterday, with both mis-labeled time and delayed message received. I don't if it was the time change or the AT&T outage in my area(maybe related?).
I just removed my battery a couple of times and texts are coming in just fine now.
Same here. That was really strange cuz the time change didnt affect me at first but when I woke up it was all messed up. hmm oh well lol.
I talked to an AT&T person and she said it was caused by the time change and should be fixed by now ISH

This has been happening to me on and off for the last month. I hope its a network thing, but it seems unlikely if it was happening a month ago.

Receiving Duplicate Text Messages

My phone has always received an occasional duplicate text message here and there from 1 or 2 contacts regardless of the ROM used. However, within the past two days, I've been getting BOMBARDED with duplicate text messages from many contacts. Nothing has been changed on my phone.
Have you experienced this? Is there a fix available?
To say this has been annoying is a gross understatement!
This happened to me last week on CM10. Eventually I fixed it by wiping cache, dalvik and rebooting. It died down shortly after. I was only getting the same couple texts over and over, and new ones weren't coming through.

This problem seems to have stopped on its own even before I got the chance to start wiping. I guess we'll see how it goes. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

My photon and my wife's did this often. I thought it was the phone. Then I started thinking it was Sprint.

I think it is Sprint too - http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/505861.
Yes, this used to happen to me with my Photon (stock ROM). It's aggravating indeed. It also happened with my wife's HTC Evo 3D. I haven't had it happen in awhile, though.
From what I have seen I believe that it is signal related. It seems that when I am on the fringe I will get dupes. It is like sprint text system never gets the message received reply once the device gets the text. This happened stock and while on CM7. I kinda just learned to live with it. It doesn't happen to often for me. I can see where it could be a pita if it happens all of the time.

[Q] Cant send MMS...at least not all the time

I just installed Cm10.1 on my Razr, it was working fine. much better then my stock rom. I get better service, my texting app isnt broken and its all around a lot faster too. The only problem i have experienced is the intermittent capacity of my phone to send and/or receive picture messages. Earlier today my girlfriend sent me a picture. It wasnt until i had rebooted my phone 2 times and wiped cache did i finally get the messages. I dont know if it was a fluke that it happened like that or not, but its kind of inconvenient.
Afterwards i tried to send a picture back, it was pretty much just a random picture of where i was standing at the time, nothing important, but it did not want to send. No matter what I did it would not send. I wound up checking back at it about 20 mins later and it said that it sent and it actually did.
Is anyone else experiencing this phenomenon and how do i fix it? or is it just something that im going to hope is fixed with a new update soon?

post this in the development thread of cm 10 and somebody will respond to you if they have experienced it already or with a solution if its been updated.

Huge texting issue!

I've got Razr MAXX. XT910.
I got it with completely stock software. Everything was working fine, until an hour later I couldn't text properly. Like, half the time the text I send doesn't reach the receiver. And almost all the time when I get someone's text, I get over and over again. The same text. For no apparent reason. I tried to see if the receiver was being charged for the texts, no they weren't.
This was about six months ago. A month after I got the phone, I rooted the it, changed the ROM. It worked fine for about half a day and I thought I'd fixed the problem but no I again started getting the texts over and over again.
Then two days ago I put in the stock JB ROM (AU) on the phone. It worked fine for about two days this time. I thought I'd fixed it this time, but no today I started the same reply over and over again, AGAIN!
Can it be because the guy at the store cut my SIM card in a wrong way? It's not a network issue but I don't know what to do.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks!

Hi, I had very similar issue like you when I bought XT910 aswell. I wasn´t getting any messages (but sender saw them as "received") and after some time (like 2 days or so) or after reboot all texts came in at same time, and every text usually came about 8-10 times in row... Funny was that everything worked when I put my SIM in different phone.
Was looking for solution many and many weeks, and I found it - I went to my carrier, and got my SIMCard replaced, suddenly all problems were solved just like that So I think its worth the shot.
Hope it helps.
Thank you so much for the reply I'm gonna go get it replaced tomorrow then! Thank you so much this bug has been annoying me for weeks!
Thanks again!

[Q] Random texts not being received...?

Hi everyone.I'm running ViperOne's 3.1.0 (Android 4.3). I really like this ROM but every now and then for the past week, I've been missing random texts from people. It's not in any particular pattern so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot further. I even had random friends and family text me when I was standing nearby so that I could confirm I didn't receive some texts, but every time I did that, I received them... My sister in law asked me if I got her message in the early afternoon, but I did not (it was evening when I saw her) and who knows what else.
Is this maybe a carrier issue? Radio? What can I do? This isn't my first time rooting but I don't know where to look or what to do to fix this, exactly.
I'm going to revert back to a stock ROM nandroid I have but I wouldn't be surprised if this continued to be an issue. I didn't have this problem before rooting, but I doubt it's the ViperOne ROM itself since I can't find any issues reported in the threads.
