Text message problems

[tp72]

I couldn't find a thread for this. Has anyone had a problem with or know anything about text coming in hours later and/or the timeline of the text being wrong? Ex: I sent a text at 10:28. It said I sent it at 10:27 which was before the text I was responding to.

I had this problem for one evening. It was Sprint related. We had bad weather in the area and some of the towers were unavailable/down due to the weather. I called Sprint and they reported that was probably what was causing the slowdown/delay in text messages.

This lasted for a few hours then it all returned to normal.

I live in L.A. We've had beautiful weather for the last week ( sorry not bragging ), this started for me about 4 days ago. I know a few people that have had them same problem who don't have the Epic.

i sometimes i receive messages like 4 hours after the time they are stamped with. i usually attribute this to sprint and the poor reception i have at my house. my house has been known to be a sprint roam center

I would give Sprint a call and see what they say. At the time I had this happen to me it was also happening to my daughter who has a Palm Pixi. She send a text and it was delayed by 15-30 mins. Time stamps were messed up, etc.

Since it doesn't seem to be weather related in sunny LA then I'm not too sure what it could be. A call to Sprint might shed some light. They did a messaging service reset when I called them concerning mine, whatever that is really (probably just some line of bull to make me happy).

I live in LA too- but for New Years' we took a road trip to Paso Robles (north of Santa Barbara and SLO) to visit friends- it rained all weekend- and while we had reception- texts were ALL jacked up. Some would go through - some NEVER did. We weren't happy. My palm pre also froze up when it was heavily overcast in the LA area. In both cases Sprint said they thought there was a local service issue- but I've found out- that's a standard BS line for "I'm not sure what your problem is- call back in 48hrs and let us know if you still have a problem."

I chalk it up to Sprint having terrible service in bad weather in LA. But the calls are never a problem- and the rates cheaper than everyone so I just suck it up.

Had this issue last night. Haven't taken any steps to rectify it though. My timestamps seemed a few minutes off so my responses went above what I was replying to.

Exactly one of the two problems I'm having. I took my phone in because tech support over the phone had no idea what I was trying to say. All they told me at the store was "we need to do a hard reset" ....uh NO THANK YOU. I think it's an Android problem more so than Sprint.

Definitely not an androids problem.

The person above said they had a palm pre and had text message delay

I spend a good portion of my week at cal polly pomona, which is far east los angeles and I never have that problem

Am I the only one with this problem?

My text messages are coming in late. I will be talkin to my daughter about one topic and move to another then i get a text message about the first topic. anyone else have this issue? im on a 2.2 that came loaded on this phone already could that be an issue from the 2.2 software? thanks guys

 

[robomav]

i have had no text message issues while on 2.2. do you know if there is a service issue in your area?

 

[loveleelatina]

as far as I know...no service issues. I called sprint and she did something but it didnt work

 

[vlozano06]

i've been having the same problem. also my phone will say the text wasn't sent, so i'd resend it, but people were getting double texts.

i thought it might be gosms, so i uninstalled it but didn't help.

just started a couple of days ago.

i'm on syndicate 1.0.1, if that makes any difference.

I think this is a basic Froyo EB13 bug. I personally haven't come across it yet while running rooted and running ROMs. I hear more about it on stock Froyo EB13.

 

[Skunkape60]

I have had it a couple of times lately and am still on stock eclair. I think it is a service issue.
