This is extremely inconvenient because today I have already been locked out of two different services that I use every day because their two factor authentication uses SMS and it times out after I have to wait for far too long for the SMS message
All SMS messages. I'm using the stock Messages app. And it's just inbound that are delayed. I tried sending texts to my partner and they got them in less than a second. When they replied to me, I didn't receive those responses for over 5 minutes. I have restarted many times. I have made sure my apps are up to date on Play Store. I have made sure there are no more updates in my phone's settings. I have downloaded settings for MMS and Internet in my Network and Internet settings. I am all out of ideas for how to proceed so I can receive SMS messages instantly like I used to before the update.
If you send a text message to yourself, does this arrive instantly?
Also as general advice - you've posted your mobile number on a public forum. That's an open invitation for spammers and suchlike to use those details 😉
oh yeah look at that, thanks. I did a quick reply with my email but it added my email signature 😕
Sending is fine. As I said above I sent an SMS to my partner and they got it within a second. Tried a couple of times. Every time they messaged me though it was a long wait (5-10 minutes). Tried the two-factor enables pages again and they also took ages. One of them took almost a whole hour to arrive.
Oh yes, the message I sent to myself arrived immediately (can confirm I can both see the sent and received message in the thread).
As the issue appeared immediately following the Android 11 update for my Xperia 1 I wouldn't have suspected the EE message centre to be a problem, but of course it was worth checking.
Since that's gone through, I don't think there are any service problems that could be causing the delays from our end, @peda.
You could try backing up your phone and restoring it back to factory settings. This is usually recommended if you think there may be a software problem after updating the software.
