My wife has the Tmo Variant of the S10+.
Anytime she gets involved into group messages her phone locks up.
Basically makes it act as if she has 0 connection of the phone, messages wont send, messages cant be received.
She can not go in any app that requires data, it says there is no connection.
She can make calls, that is all.
We have to delete "ALL" messages then it is fine, until she gets a response to the group and its all back up.
I have cleared the phone cache, and messages cache.
I actually clean the phone cache once a day to help. It doenst prevent , but helps it from happening too frequently.
This has just started randomly about 3 weeks ago, not right after the last security update, but maybe a week after that.
We have also factory reset the device.
.
I may add that this only seems to be a bigger issue when the groups are IOS users.
I have done some google searching but couldnt find anything acknowledging a known issue.
Any tips, secrets, or advice will be much appreciated.
My wife and I have the same device, so the next steps is to wipe them both, swap them and see if the same error persists on the swapped devices.

Hello everyone!
I've got some weird issues with my Samsung Focus. Throughout the day, my phone doesn't receive any messages. It can be for periods of 10 hours. If I shut off my phone for a minute, then turn it on, I'll either get a message then another a minute later..etc.. Or I'll get a flood of messages at one time. The messages were all sent from the past, and come in the proper order, but not at the right times (they have a delay). I didn't have this issue until I started looking around at my diagnostic application so I believe I accidently changed a setting in it. I've already talked to at&t but the store here won't do much with it because the water indicator is red. I have my phone in developer unlocked state (I sideload apps and apps that I make). The reset data functions don't seem to change the diagnostic settings back, so I'm thinking I'll have to flash it with an original rom, but I'm not an expert by any means, but I'll understand whatever instructions or tests that are given.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I haven't had a phone that never had text messaging issues so this is a bit annoying for me when people think you're ignoring them.

I want to start off by saying I have 1 or 2 group messages that go on throughout the whole day, every day. When I first got the Verizon S7 edge, I had zero issues for the first three days. All of the sudden, at least once a day, there is an issue receiving and sending group messages. I can't link it to anything specific besides it happening most when the group chat is most active. 11 people in the chat are sending multiple messages at a time and then I'll send a message at the same time and i realize mine is not sending and then I stop receiving everyone else's messages. If I go to the individual participants chat in my texting app, there will be a bunch of messages that are downloading. This has happened to me in the past with other phones, but its usually linked to having bad service at a certain time and simply turning mobile data on and off will fix the issue. I cant link it to anything this time, it happens randomly. It doesn't matter where I am, if I have 1 bar or 4 bars, if wifi is on/off, bluetooth is on/off. The messages eventually start coming in, but I dont know what causes that to happen either. I could restart the phone 4 times before it helps. The only thing I can say is it happens most often when the group chat is most active. I'll also mention that this wasn't an issue in the first 3-5 days of using the phone. Below are the steps I've already taken to try and resolve the issue.
1. Wifi on/off
2. Mobile data on/off
3. Restarting the phone
4. Tried 4 different texting apps - Hangouts, google messenger, samsung messenger, verizon messenger
5. Factory reset
6. New SIM card
7. Swapped the phone out for a brand new one. Issue started again with the new one after 3-5 days.
8. Enabled every app that was disabled
9. Activated/deactivated advanced calling
10. Called Verizon tech support - We replicated the issue and thought it was due to "delete old messages" being turned on in the settings. Tech support thought the phone was trying to delete old messages at the same time I was receiving a bunch of texts and everything would get stuck. Everything seemed fine after changing that, but it happened again a few hours later.
11. I've run out of options
I had the Note 5 before this and had zero issues with that phone and I've never had an Iphone.
Please help

Use textra app from play store

To start, I'm on Android 7.0 using the September security patch and am rooted.
Never had an issue with this phone before. Ever since yesterday morning I have not been able to receive anyone's text messages. I'm not sure about MMS but I haven't gotten any of those either. The weird thing is that I can SEND texts just fine....and I can also send text messages to myself and they come through.
After digging and researching I accessed that hidden settings menu by typing *#*#4636#*#* into my dialer and looking at the SMSC number which should be for Tmobile, my provider, +12063130004. However, it's blank and I'm unable to change it. Hitting "update" gives me an "update error" in the field and if I hit refresh I get "+12063130004",145 with the quotes and the 145. If I hit update from there and reboot it's still blank. If I put in +12063130004 and reboot it's still blank.
I have data, I can make and receive calls and surf the web. So far I've tried switching sms apps to no avail. I'm currently using google messenger. I've tried removing the sim and placing it back in. I went in to TWRP wiped cache, dalvich cache and data and it did nothing. Finally I reverted to a nandroid I made about a month ago when sms was working fine and it's still not working.
I'm out of ideas fellas. At my wit's end here!
Oh, I should also let you know that I think this all started when my girlfriend sent me a text message that i received yesterday morning. It was the last text I was able to get......she's on a cruise so she sent it somewhere near mexico....I think it made my phone have a massive brain fart and I'm not sure how to fix this bug. Please help!!
No one? I've found nothing on the web..
This may sound obvious, but have you tried using a factory image to return to stock?
Sounds like you've done everything but that.
I suppose you could also try deleting your APN and manually entering a correct one for your carrier. That's helped me in the past on other devices when I've had weird data/service issues.
Funny you asked. I did a full wipe and returned to stock on the latest November build. Still a no go. People still get my texts and I can still use data/make and receive calls fine. I'll try the APN suggestion now.
As far as APN's go, I tried to reset them to default. I even tried deleting all of them except for the one I was using which in the past for other devices helped with certain issues. I then created a custom APN setting that I found on the 6p forum that helped other users with SMS/MMS issues....no help for me.
I can still send SMS,mms, make and receive phone calls. No idea what to do!!!
I have a similar but different issue. I can receive messages just fine. But sometimes when i send messages id say about 40% of the time my message gets stuck at the "sending" and it takes sometimes up to 10min for it to send. I can speed the process up if i go to the secret menu and toggle the radio off and on.
Im on ATT BTW. I thought it had something to do with ATT shutting down the 2G network and the phone getting confused as to which network to send messages on but im no expert its just a theroy.
PS. I had this problem pop out of nowhere. Had it start randomly on PN6 (last build) so i upgraded to PN7 same thing on 2 different versions of the ROM. And now im on SuperAx 7.1 and still have the issue.
Ive always had problems with Nexus's and messages. When i had the Nexus 5 i actually had to warranty it out because MMS all of a sudden would not work at all.
I received one text today from someone. That's it. Not getting all the missed sms messages and not getting any additional sms messages.
Hey everyone. I have the T-Mobile V20 rooted using jcadduono's method. Recently I have been getting duplicate text messages. This has happened with text messages from a few different people but the latest was when I installed the PayPal app and they sent me my security code via SMS. Now I am getting the same text sent to me at random times, 18 times in the last day. Also, when other people send me texts, sometimes I get them and sometimes I get the text from PayPal. I'm pretty sure it's not on PayPal's end since this has happened with other numbers as well.
I have tried clearing the data from the stock messaging app, clearing cache and dalvik in twrp, disabling the stock messaging app and using Signal instead, and a full restore.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? I searched around and could not find a solution.
Edit: Nevermind. It was one of my apps, Root Call Blocker.
Hey I have been having a similar problem. A few days ago I was texting with somebody and they just stopped responding. However we WERE sorta fighting about some stuff so I didn't think anything of it. But a couple days later I started getting ALL of the messages that she'd sent and I'm getting all of them TEN FOLD. like 20 copies of the same message. Then I started getting the same **** from other people too. So I figured it had to be something with my dirty santified v20. So I came to XDA and low and behold here is this guy talking about RCB. Well yesterday I had remembered that I have a license for Root Call Blocker Pro by Fahrbot PRI. This HAS GOT to be what the problem is. So I'm gonna uninstall RCB and try to contact Fahrbot and direct them to this thread. Thanks dude for coming here and reporting your problem. Possibly we will find some more people showing up here and eventually get Fahrbot to fix his ****. Now to uninstall and see if it works.
Edit: This did end up being the problem and solution. After removing Root Call Blocker Pro the phone was still getting weird texts for a while but they weren't multiple copies of the same messages. I booted into recovery and wiped the delvik and cache for good measure. When I booted back up the phone was still getting old messages, however they slowed to an eventual stop. I contacted Fahrbot and informed them that I suspect their program has some bugs on android 7.0 on the v20. When your phone receives an SMS under normal conditions, it will send back to the service provider an ACK response. If the phone service provider sends out a handful of SMS messages to the phone but the phone sends nothing back acknowledging that each message was received, then the provider automatically assumes 'did not receive ACK from phone. phone must be off. resending until acknowledged.
Ditto
I registered just to reply to this thread! I, too, had RCB installed on 7.1 nougat, but kept getting repeated texts or delayed texts. Like, DAYS delayed. Sprint could not figure out what was wrong; but luckily I found this thread, uninstalled, and now my texts are working again.
And RCB was my favorite call blocker :crying:
