Galaxy S5 :: Samsung Phone Can't Send Texts To One Person
Apr 9, 2015
Within the past couple weeks, i havent been able to send texts to one person. I'll text them and they don't get my texts until nearly a week later. I've tried soft reset, deleting messages and contact and doing a factory reset.
I send a text to someone and they reply saying they're confused as to what I'm talking about... The text is exactly how I've wrote it on my device but when they send me back what they've received its half of the correct text and half of an old one?
So, I've had this phone for almost 3 months now. I'm barely able to text one of the few people that I talk to. Most of the time, they do not receive my texts until a week later, sometimes longer. I used to have the galaxy s5 with sprint and this happened with them too. I now have t-mobile and i have talked to them several times about this. After a lot of persistence, they put in a trouble ticket for me and that corrected it for about a week, then it started up again. Now they closed it and are telling me that it could be sprint's fault. I don't know what could be. I know that at one point I was accidentally blocked by the person, but it seemed to start after I ported my number over to a new carrier. I just want an end to this. I'm tired of contacting t-mobile every week.
I switched from an iPhone to the S5 in mid december and have had issues with getting texts. I have read a lot about it, so I shut off iMessage on my mac and even disabled my number with iMessage on Apple's site. However, I am still not receiving some texts from iPhones. If they send a text just to me i get it fine (even though they may have to click send as a text message) but I won't be able to get it in a group text. It is frustrating because I can see some texts but not all of them. This has been happening for over a month now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon. My girlfriend has an iPhone. I use the Samsung Stock Messaging App. I can see the emojis she sends, but when I try to send one, she can't receive any of the message. What can I do?
I was able to send and receive text messages on my Samsung Galaxy SII which I have had since July 2012. I am on Bell network. A Bell customer service agent told me that Bell needs to update their towers to accommodate the programs that newerSamsung phones are using.
I have a huge problem with texting people who switched phones from iPhone to ie Samsung or Sony and no longer have iMessage option. My iPhone still recognizes these contacts as iPhone(iMessage). Â Everytime I want to text them I have to switch the iMessage option off (or really quickly press the button 'send as an sms'. , but thats no fun or working well whatsoever). Â How can I 'tell' my iphone that these contacts are no longer iPhone users, so don't try to iMessage them? Â
Yesterday i updated my s6 to lolipop 5.1.1 and ever since then i cannot send text messages i can recieve them but i cannot send texts i am with rogers...
Looking for people that have a stock s5 with the latest uk update 5.0.2. how do you (step by step as im thick) send texts to multiple contacts in your contact list?
I just bought a unlocked root samsung and for some reason.....i text a co worker at 5 pm...and when I receive a reply 5 mins later.....it shows the text as being received at , 1 pm.....it doesnt show the text after mine but before it......
I have recently upgraded my phone to a Galaxy SII from a Samsung GT-S3350.Is there any way I can transfer my text messages (Inbox and Sentbox) from the GT-S3350 to the Galaxy SII
I have used the Samsung Kies program to transfer my Contacts, Music and Pictures, but there doesn't seem to be any option within the program to transfer text messages.
I have had the phone for about 3 months now but recently every time i get a text or a call it says 'incoming call from garry etc' or incoming message from xxxxx and it's doing my head in!
I have some problems receiving texts sometimes when I am at home. My phone has signal but texts won't come through until I connect to a call. I'm not sure whether this is a fault with the phone or with with my network operator, O2. This doesn't happen all of the time, just sporadically.
Since having my phone I've been having real issues whilst I've been at work with being able to phone out, receive phone calls and send/receive texts.
Everything was fine with my previous phone, and everything is fine as I drive away from work. It's almost as if my phone isn't compatible with certain signal masts or something??
I send a text to my friend and when he replies it comes back as a totally different conversation. There is only one number for that person in my phone and that is the number I use when I text.
Yesterday my messages with my friend disappeared and when I try to text them through selecting new message and literally typing in their number, it will send it to my mother. It's only happening between my friend and my mother. Weirdest thing. I checked their contacts and there is no overlapping information.
When I open sent or received picture texts, they appear with a white circle and black triangle as if it were a 'play' button. If I click on the pictures, they open as if they were a video, 'playing' anywhere from 5 - 10 seconds with a play bar below. There's no problem opening or downloading the photos, but it's weird/annoying that pictures are opening this way.
My phone doesn't send or receive any SMS or phone calls even with full service bars available. For out going texts, the "sending bar" never completely loads. For some reason, this only happens in my city. I was away in London for the weekend and it worked perfectly fine as soon as I left the vicinity of my city. When I got back to my home, it stopped working again. I don't know if this is a coincidence, or if it just doesn't work.
My iPhone won't let me send texts to someone who used to have an iPhone but doesn't anymore. I can receive texts from them but can't send them texts. Says its an invalid number.
So basically I went away for 4 weeks, came back, switched on my phone and now BOOM it won't call anyone, it won't use 3G or anything or even make texts.
Here's some useful information:
- I'm picking up signal, and can receive texts etc.
- when I try and call someone, it says 'you cannot make outgoing calls while call barring is on' (even though I've checked in settings and it isn't).
- I'm on o2 in the UK
- I've checked my status, and it says 'Mobile Network State' is 'Disconnected'.
- It's running 2.3.3
- I've got the Network Mode on Auto (as it always was when the phone actually worked), and also I haven't been playing around with the APNs or anything like that.
- I bought the phone legit from Carphone warehouse a few months ago, and it worked mostly fine up until I switched it back on yesterday. I'd had a few problems with non-wifi internet before I left last month, but nothing affecting making calls etc.
I haqve just moved to Tenerife and got a movistar sim. I can receive calls and texts but cant send texts. I have tried to resend the service books but it wont allow me saying "your device had a problem connecting to the server". When i try send a text it says "requested facility not implented". What do I do?
