I searched the forums to see if anyone else noticed these issues. First I upgraded via the exe file from samsung and I even did a wipe of my sd card after backing it up...
I am on stock eb13 and not rooted..
My issue is this, sometimes when trying to send text messages they get stuck with sending and don't actually send... I am kinda assuming this is happening after receiving a picture or sending a picture, but I am not sure on this because I can't make it produce this problem on a constant basis.. the only thing that seems to fix this is rebooting the phone.. then the text messages that all had sending on them will send all at once..
Second issue is today I wanted to send a funny animated picture text I received to mutiple people and while typing the peoples names in I would get multiple force closes.. the only way it seemed to work was using the contacts then choosing the names that way... I didnt fully test this to see if that was the work around and was curious if anyone else were getting forces closes...
Overall my experience with the stock sms app has been very annoying. D118 worked far better for me in the sms category..
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter....

Regarding the stuck on Sending... this is a problem with 2.2 and there is no fix yet. It has been present since DK28 but is completely random on when it occurs; sometimes you go a month+ before it happens, other times hours.
When it happens, go to settings/applications/manage/running and FC the messaging app. When you reopen it, it should send. Only other option is reboot and it will send.

My Evo is known for getting stuck receiving the SMS messages. Never have been able to figure it out. very frustrating indeed so i feel your pain
Thanks for the replies.. much appreciated..

To tell you the truth I don't think I've ever ran into this problem myself...the only way I'm stuck on sending is if in a bad service area which is common, did you try to a hard reset possibly? I'm not much help on android development, but starting from scratch may help?

I have seen issues like this with sprint in general, not just on my Epic. Sometimes texts just won't send. Other times you get like 4 or 5 texts that get delivered late.
I know that your issue is probably software related though. I really don't like the 2.2 messaging app. The one on 2.1 worked great
I've also had this issue, back to when I had the Moment. Same fix for me, reboots and whatever I thought was already sent, finally sends. At least I have an excuse for when my gf wonders why I haven't responded to her texts lol
I've only had this problem since getting EB13. I've found that if you go into RAM manager via task manager and do a level 2 memory clear, it shuts down a critical SMS process and the phone will refuse to send any SMS until the the phone is rebooted.
By chance have you been clearing memory in RAM manager on the new EB13?

I know that I do, I actually do this rather frequently when I want to make sure my music player or game or anything else isn't still running in background. Not going to do a memory clear the entire day and see if this error still comes up.

I've been having the same issue too, and I can also confirm that I no longer have this problem by not using level 2 clears.
I'm having problems still and data problems..
Although I found out yesterday that Sprint put up a new tower in my area (south bend, in) and the problems won't be fixed for about a month :/
at least i know it's (most likely) not my phone
I am having similar issues. Just activated my phone, about an hour later I am using Syndicate 1.0.2
I can receive texts, but am getting "Failed" sent texts. Cleared my ram. Reboot. Still having issues.
I'm going to get to bed, and hope the problem is gone in the morning =P
EDIT: Well I figured out my issue. I tried to make a call this morning and got directed to SPRINT. Sprint apparently had to finish activating my phone... now texting works. hah! I feel kind of silly now for worrying about it.

Ok I have a nexus one and I'm using Handcent OS, and i thought it was the program itself so I Decided to reset the phone to factory, and try it. It seems that after an amount of time of the phone being on it stops recieving data and sending it..like txt messages and I get network errors.. Is this a common bug or is my device buggy? because when i restart it, it all works again..but when I use it after awhile it will fail sending messages... and then I have to restart to finish sending my txt message...
my phone is doing this too. i thought it was just me. It does it with the stock SMS and Handcent as well. Just fails to send messages or send/receive calls. I hope it gets worked out, I love this phone to death!

A few times each week I get the exclamation mark in the red triangle when trying to text and I after I try a bunch more times it'll either work or Ill have to restart the phone. But I can't remember having an issue with phone calls. Sometimes ill dial and it will just hang up but it always works right after when I call again. There are a Lot of software issues that Im sure Google will address through time. Hopefully that's all this is....

Same I think its tmobile too.. Oh well can't do anything about that..they just simply need to fix they towers...I got a tower about 3 miles down the road and its not very strong I only get 3g on the left side of my bed and I get edge when i walk to the right side of my bed lol
WE need a reboot application that reboots at night at least once everyday should fix it? ya think..Without root being needed....
Pinch to zoom needs to work in more than one spot... I've noticed in some spots it should be applicable and its not...depressing..
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue.
It's not a T-Mobile network issue: If it regularly occurs, and rebooting your phone fixes it, then it's not an issue with T-Mo's network or SMSC, it's the phone.
Are there any bug reports filed with Google for this one? Does anyone else running non-stock ROMs have this problem as well?

One thing about typing its almost impossible to convey inflection so I don't know if you're kidding. If you aren't
, which would be weird, I don't know of any Android phones that flip any direction other than to the left for portrait. I'm sure there are custom roms that flip every which way but not stock
I'm not sure what you mean about zoom but it works in gallery, maps, browser and 3rd party apps can utilize it. Out of curiosity, where else did you think it should be available? I would say for documents but I guess that's a decision for the application's dev...

Y'all install handscent? I heard that causes a text bug..... thats what I heard so right off the bat I installed chomp sms and no problems...
I get the sms fail bug intermittently and I am on CM 5.0.4.1 although I never seemed to notice it before I started using Handcent. I do love that app though, is there a different one that is comparable?
Yes CM5.0.4.1 does allow for 360 degree rotation. You can flip the phone upside down and it rotates!

Is anyone having an issue where if they reply to someones text, the reply is listed chronologically before the previous message? I'm wondering if somehow the timestamps are getting messed up on my phone. It only happens sometimes, usually if I reply within 5-10 seconds.

I'm still experiencing this problem. Anyone else? </shameless_bump>
yes, here too, I see this today on 2 times, how can I fix this?!? please help!!!
It has happened to me also, however i noticed it is only with the default messaging app, so i use Handscent instead
this really annoys me
This has been happening to me ever since I had my Evo. I thought it would stop on the Epic, but it continues to happen. The only time I saw this problem dissipate was when I flashed a custom ROM to my evo. And it had the Stock SMS application on there.
Sprint really needs to fix this.
my theory is that if you reply to a message before the message registers as being "read," then the message will stay "unread" and remain the latest message while your response will go into the main list of messages.
if someone could edit how "unread" messages are checked and changed to "read," then this may solve our issue.
it only seems to happen to me when i reply within the same minute. if i get a text at 1:21 and reply at 1:22, im fine. if i get a text at 1:21 and reply and send it in the same minute, it seems to put my reply before their initial text. i dont think its reading the seconds on the time stamp.
Same here.
I can confirm that this happens on three epics
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I went through 3 epics before i got one that is good for me, and let me tell you ALL of them had this issue.
I was having this issue... then I noticed it only happened while roaming.
I believe it may have to do with the sms time zone not being correctly handled by the roaming network.
i get perfect bars at my house (no roaming) and it happens to me there. i dont think it has to do with roaming.
I think the issue lies when texts are sent and received at the same minute, perhaps its not recording the seconds which is placing them out of order? It happenes to me when my friend with an epic sends me multiple texts in a row and it also happens to his phone as well.

It happens to me too. I was texting someone around 1pm today and the time stamp said 7:23 pm. I noticed it happened more frequently when I allowed my phone to roam too

I've had an issue since day one where google voice will display an unable to send message error when trying to send a text. Hit send again, and the first attempt registers along with the second attempt, essentially sending two identical text messages. This behavior comes and goes in spurts, and when it happens it seems to occur with every other message I send. I've never had this problem on any previous android phone, I've tried uninstalling, clearing cache, fixing permissions, and still it returns. Anyone else have this problem? Or does my fascinate just hate me?

Mine does this too, I notice sometimes there will be no network activity on the 3G icon on the first try. It gets to be very annoying, but not annoying enough to pay Verizon 15 bucks a month
Its happened to me about half a dozen times. I just chalked it up to data hiccups. Now that you mention it, I never did get one if those hiccups with WinMo though.

This probably isn't Android at fault here. The google voice messaging always worked perfectly on my Droid 1. Ill bet it has something to do with crap sammy drivers. I am hoping this all gets resolved with 2.2
I have this same exact problem frequently. I wish someone could suggest a fix. Never, never happened on my incredible.
Annoying.
I should add that it has also done it since day one. And has not changed with any rom or kernel i flash.
Fascinate Voo Doo One Point Two
Sounds about right - hopefully 2.2 will solve our problem (along with everything else lol). As for winmo and google voice, that was one janky, hacked together experience. Onedialer when it worked, idialer for when it didn't, sending sms though outlook...those were the days.

Just an update to an old thread, but DJ05 seems to have solved this issue for the most part - it still happens, but very rarely.
Hello to everyone!
I've been recently having some troubles with my evo 4g. I'm running fresh 3.5.0.1 and just updated my radios to 1.90_003 . Right before i upgraded (from fresh 3.4 or 3.3 not sure) I started to have problems with my text messages.
First i noticed that i got one from "the future" it was timestamped about 2 hours ahead of what time it was and i didn't recieve a notification for it. So i checked for some updates since it had been a while and upgraded everything i was suppose to (ota,radio,wimax,pri,etc). Now my messages seem to have the same problem if not more. I get alerted 5 or 10 minutes after i receive the message, while going through my conversations say i select a convo with my friend zack and convo from my friend kyle will come up, and i will have to go back and select it again.
So i'm wondering if this is a service provider problem or something with the apps for custom firmware i'm using. Could it be caused by an app like JuiceDefender?
The timestamp issue usually only happens when roaming, but can also be caused by network issues in general. My old flip phone, rumor, and instinct all had that issue from time to time.
The other issue with opening one text and getting someone else is an android issue, engadget reported on that today actually.

^^That happens to me too^^ I thought my phone was just fcukin up. It does it when someone sends me a pic. Puts it at the top of the convo's for that day...
I got a "VERY" important text 20 mins late the other day too. 20 mins too late!!! Pissed me off!!!!
good to know that i'm not the only one experiencing this problem hopefully gets fixed soon. if i had to guess i think it's most likely a problem/conflict with sprint and android.
First of all apologies if this has been covered before.
My son in law got himself a new Atrix yesterday and so far he is very happy with it. Exept any txt messages he gets keep coming again and again about every 1/2 hour this has been going on all day and I am the one he is blaming as I was the one who recommended the Atrix to him.
If anybody has had this problem or anyone knows the answer I will be much obliged as the way things are going I will not get any sleep tonight.
Sounds like someone is using SMS Bomber to send him repeat text messages. Download Anti SMS Bomber from the market, and make sure it runs all the time, that should do the trick.
Anti SMS Bomer - https://market.android.com/details?id=org.baole.antibomber
Is it the same exact text message over and over? I had this happen to me last night, except it was the same exact text coming from my girlfriend.
I turned off my phone for the night and the next morning I received about 30 text messages (all from her) saying the exact same thing. I solved it just a little bit ago with an SBF flash.

This happens to me anytime my phone is off or in airplane mode and someone texts me more than once. The first one sent comes over and over again.
You don't have to SBF flash.
With the phone on, pull the battery (and I reseat the sim, but that's probably just silly) and pop it back in. I usually get the message one more time and then any that were queued up behind it.
I use GoSMS but I also got it with Handcent... Stock doesn't seem to do it.
Oh. I had mine with the SMS app (from GBlur). I think I had a total of ~170 messages from her saying the same thing. I did all of that and even tried separate SMS clients but nothing worked except an SBF flash
Thanks to one and all for your advice.
We sorted it in the end by phoning Orange and they advised the pull battery while the phone was still on. After re-boot they pushed all the queued up messages. Up till now things are looking OK but S-i-L is a bit reluctent to try messages.
I think he is either going to try the Anti SMS Bomber or SBF flash, it's up to him I got into enough trouble for recommending the Atrix. He is now trying to do a swap for my SE Xperia Arc. (Thinking about it).
That does fix it... it is of course subject to happening again if he gets a message while the phone is off. Fairly easy fix though, i've never had to have them push my messages. My wife sends me enough that she pushes them for me
Totally trade him!
Yes, it still happening with me. Try to disable Cell Broadcast on Wifi & others configuration menu...
Mine doesnt have this menu, but i edited it on settings.db and still spamming the sms.
@Edit
Look at HERE
Ive had the Atrix since launch never had this problem, my buddy who i recommended the Atrix started getting 20+ same text two days ago. Then yesterday I had the same problem for the first time. We both called Att, they were useless. The problem resolved itself for both of us last night. A bunch pushed through all at once. No sbf no battery pull, but if it happens again I def will pull battery. No duplicates in 24 hours, glad thats over. My phone was definately not turned off or in airplaine mode when it started.
This all points at a network level problem. Why would the phone redeliver its own texts?
We had this with another phone here at work a while back when someone was abroad and it was a network level issue that caused it.

I agree, I'm assuming it's happening when sending to you fails somehow, out of range or no signal or whatever (airplane mode, shutting down system) and the request gets stuck.
Sad that AT&T can't get that fixed though.
Okay so no duplicate text since I posted yesterday, or, two days ago.? Just sent my buddy (^who also had the prob^) a text asking it he had gotten anymore duplicates. I received three back that said "no". I sent one saying, "are you joking?". He called and asked if I was f***ing with him, hes getting duplicates of my messages also. So the issue went away for 48 hours and came back when I mentioned it!! *facepalm
Pulling the battery doesn't help! The issue resolved itself before w/o a factory reset so I am hesitant to do one. I agree with the thinking that it is a network issue. What would you do XDA friends?
EDIT: Im on 4.1.83 GladRoot GingerBlur. He is on 4.1.83 GladRoot NO GBlur. Im using Handcent and I think he is too.
I Still with duplicated messages... thats making me replace atrix for anything else... just atrix have this insue.
I'm happy to say that since I last posted on this thread there have been no more mass duplication messages
I am extra happy about that as I did the swap and am loving My Atrix.

Yes i was, but I uninstalled it recently. I am no longer getting duplicate texts. my friend IS still having the prob. Att has sent him another Atrix, we are going to copy his apps to the new phone soon and see if they stop.
Is there an issue with RCB on the Atrix?
Interestingly im running that too. I haven't seen the issue in a week or so but next time I will try disabling it too. I know everytime it gains root access it FC's the Voice Commands app.
