HTC One not receiving texts

[z1ggy]

Pretty self explanatory. I'll text people...Never get responses. Come to find out, they aren't getting my texts. I am also not receiving texts from people either if they send me a message. Then after 3-4 days of this, I will get a mass pile of like 30 or so texts which are all the messages I was sent.

This only happened once before, but now in the past two weeks, it has happened twice.

Is this a problem with my phone or my carrier (AT&T)?

I have restarted the phone...Shut it down and turned it back on, etc.

have you modified it in any way? I'm going to guess carrier here.

I've had this exact same thing happen on t-mobile before but typically a reboot is what triggers the flood of incoming texts. Also, more annoyingly, some texts do send and receive, just not all of them. It's happened maybe 5 times to me in the last 5 years.

had that happen with an htc one on at&t. call them, it's most likely a network issue. that' what fixed me.

Rooted + Cyanogen mod on it. I don't see why that would really affect it...

Alright, I guess I'll have to give them a call. I hate calling up these giant companies for trouble shooting, but sounds like there's not much choice.

It can very easily if you use shitty software, but considering I work on CM I would say you're pretty safe with it.
The other reason I asked is if you're going to call for support and they want you to bring in the device to a store, you probably aren't going to get very far with custom software on it...

I'm going to call this a carrier problem personally.

If they did, I suppose I could restore it back to default android software...

Would the "...this is development only..." red text still come up on boot up though?

The later HBOOT will change from UNLOCKED to RELOCKED, not LOCKED if you use fastboot to relock it fwiw assuming you used the official htc devunlock program, I wouldn't honestly bother with that. If you S-OFF'd it I wouldn't touch that at all. I'm doubting they'll even need to see the device to do anything for you but you never know so just giving you a heads up. Stock ATT HTC software has some small chance of being needed but I doubt you need to change the bootloader status at all.

You can hex edit out that warning but that's potentially dangerous if you do it wrong and I doubt this is that serious personally.

Well, I think it may be phone related. I just put my SIM card into my old iphone4, and I got about 50 texts that never came through to the HTC over the past few days. For whatever reason, the HTC isn't connecting to the provider properly.

I did see a reply from a person I sent a text to today though, so it looks like my texts are going out, but nothing is coming back... Odd.

Edit: Called ATT. They reset the network connection, which solved the problem (for now). I suspect this won't fix the issue permanently though.

No reason it shouldn't. Texting is a service option. I have my VZW phone service set to no texting. I love it!

It's probably because you haven't deactivated iMessage yet.
