Root [Boost Mobile] weird sms issue

Newbie
recently i've been having this weird issue i would text people and they would text me back but i would never actually receive it they say they texted me but i don't get the text. then awhile later my phone gets spammed with texts is this a common issue? or is there something wrong with my phone any help will be greatly appreciated thanks :)
 
okay thanks i just came back to boost a couple months ago when i had em last year i had the transform ultra and i dont remember this issue but thanks now i know :p
 
It's a common problem. What I found to fix it on my wife's phone.. (doesn't want to root) Was to switch launchers. I don't know why but that solved a lot of her problems. It still happens every now and again, but it's not as frequent as before. But If you know someone is texting you and you haven't received it.. Just reboot your phone.. They should start flooding in. :)

okay will do thanks for the help
 
is a common problem. Look at your Mobile Network settings and make sure CDMA/EVDO is checked. If of is set to only EVDO then it will cause what you have described
 
Has anyone whose changed their PRL had this issue as well? I want to know before I do that.

Rebooting the phone all day will drain your battery. I shouldn't have to do that.

I'm rooted but the same thing has happened on stock and even on previous dumb phones I've had with boost.
 
I was having a lot of issues some just like you described. Believe it or not I could trace my problems back to a 'rouge' app. I realize not a lot of people check if they have a bad app. I don't know the best way to see if i have a rouge . I just uninstall and play around with stuff and always have a nandroid :)
