Text bug - Working on possible solutions

Have you attempted any of the fixxes posted in this thread? Have you contacted ATT at all to try and get a resolution?

I think that is most of the problem. ATT does not do good records. When I first got my phone they had my phone info wrong. IMEI code was wrong. They reset me in the system with all the correct info and I have had no issues since with data dropping or text bug.

just spent well over half an hour on the phone with ATT.  i had them verify the IMEI numbers and SIM numbers for both mine and my wife's phone. I then had the level 2 technician send out the network reset to both our phones where it says "Power on/off" on the black screen. Hopefully this will help some.

i talked at length with her about the people on this thread and all we have tried to get this resolved. she was nice and understanding but not helpful. had never heard of the problem, and would not provide a way to elevate this issue to someone's attention. basically said i would have to have the phone replaced on warranty (which doesn't help) to have it tracked. if enough people had warranty replacements for the same issue noted 'in the system' they would (somehow?) notice the trend and maybe then they might do something about it  . I explained that the problem is unlikely to be noticed in these trends because we know different phones do not fix it and it can manifest itself differently so would be reported differently. she offered to conference in someone from warranty or Samsung but I'm sure it would still be all the same conversation. i doubt this will be solved because the phone is now so old...

I will let you know if my phone seems better after the reset.

To have any chance we all need to organize to make sure the right person (and only one person) gets flooded with our calls and sees that they are all the same problem. a poster had some presidents phone number - that could work, but still may not get us noticed. if you want to try the same woman i spoke to, she said her name was Annette Dunbar.

my best guess is to organize a written report and request for investigation written by the posters of this thread and send that (with all our names some how) to the president guy. sort of like a petition.

other than that Im out of ideas.

anyone up for organizing this so we have a prayer? PLEASE?

thanks to everyone for your efforts

Well so far so good on the Wife's replacement phone, knock on wood. We had it started at an AT&T co. store just like it was a new account with a new SIM and made sure the rep logged all info correctly she ain't cussed at me about it for 2 weeks now, So maybe?

Keep trying until it actually stops initializing.

Sounds like you have other issues with your phone. The message initializing has nothing to do with text bug. And the text bug will not cause this.

I recommend you do a master reset.

I have been experiencing the text bug for awhile now too. I bought the phone sometime in May 2009. Has anyone heard of a fix for this bug yet? It's not too much of an inconvenience but the problem should be addressed.
