Common issue. Happens to me every once in a while. Happens on any rom i use. Stock or not. I believe this is a boost issue.

 

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.

 

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

 

Are you rooted?

 

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.

 

Changing your prl wouldnt be an issue other than service. MAYBE

 

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
