Hey all.

I have an HTC One V phone through Virgin Mobile. Always worked fine, no issues.

Today I guess I reached some kind of texting ceiling with my girlfriend, and our SMS thread reached 5000+ messages. I could not load up any texts at all, it would just stick at the 'loading' screen.

I finally managed to get that entire thread deleted to where I could text again, but now she is not receiving any of my texts, whereas everyone else in my contacts are not having any problems getting them.

I've tried restarting the phone, deleting the thread and trying again, deleting her contact info and just sending texts to her number alone, to no avail, nothing is working.

Any advice or fixes for something like this?

Thanks. much appreciated.

did she delete your texts off her phone?

 

[sangreal]

make sure you dont have her number blocked. Deleting the contact should've fixed that, but who knows

She has not, Her phone is quite a bit better than mine and I assumed hers could handle it. I will have her do that and see what happens.

And no, I don't have her number blocked. She can still text me, she's just not getting any of mine.

 

[sangreal]

Yes, sorry, I should've said make sure she doesn't have your number blocked. My gf manages to do it to people by mistake on her s3 all the time (don't ask).

She's getting some other D

Spoiler

Kidding, of course. Once her phone is cleared, report back

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

I can't have her clear the thread yet because she wants to back it up for sentimental purposes, and I need to help her do that.

So it'll have to wait until tomorrow, hope it works. =/

Bro, I can't help but I feel your pain. Bought a One V about 6 months ago and it's been nothing but shit ever since.


Apps crash, sometimes they take minutes to open, notifications are unreliable. SLOW AS A MOTHER FUCKER. Like, I know it's a prepaid phone but it's slower than phones I've tried that cost 1/3 of it's price. It's unreasonably slow to the point I think perhaps just my phone is defective.

My last HTC, ever. So, no solution here but total fucking empathy. The texting app is such an abomination that I've switched over to Facebook messenger completely.


Man, fuck the One V. Fuck it to death, in front of it's family.

 

[Skeyser]

it's a sign, you need to talk to her once in a while instead of texting her 5000 times

Maybe your phone is trying to tell you something OP.

Better start looking for a new GF.

 

[GavinGT]

Maybe try an alternate SMS program like Go SMS Pro. It's free and probably the best one around.

I did.

I tried Handcent. She got the first text message I sent through the app, but none of the other 3-4.

Go SMS Pro has vanished off the Play store. The URL is invalid and it won't come up through search.

Shes sleeping with your best friend.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

The weird thing is she's still able to send me texts just fine, and I get them.

So it's something on my end, and I can't figure it out. =/

 

[demented]

This happened to me and it was all on my friend's side, I'm not sure if it was some settings on the phone or network side but he fixed it somehow.

 

[entremet]

The NSA is intercepting them perhaps. You sure you who you say you are, Wuthering Heights?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Shhhh.

Everyone else gets your messages and its on your end?

Doesn't sound right to me. Have her delete you from contacts and see if a text comes in.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

I guess I just assumed it would be on my end, since I was the one screwing around with my phone today and having issues, and for her it's just been business as usual.

When we get the thread backed up tomorrow I'll have her delete me and see what happens.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Problem seemingly solved.

She restarted her phone and got all my messages, and is getting mine just fine, now.

It's always the simplest solution...
