Try the following solution which worked for someone: Courtesy Google Search. Revert here if it works for you.

I Fixed It!

Hey guys I'm having the same problem with my samsung fascinate, it sends text messages really late like hours sometimes days late.(very embarrassing when friends get weird text they were meant to receive days ago.) I found a way to make sure your text messages are not being delayed when you send them so listen up.

I think the problem accours when the messaging service running on the OS stalls. (the standard messaging app might work but the service that manages sending/recieving messages has stalled.) This could be caused by having to many conversation threads in the history or by sending a message that is to big to too many recepients.(not sure but either way can be fixed.)

Note: this is not a permanent fix, this is only a way of making sure your messages get sent in the moment you notice they having been sent.

Prerequisites (only have to do this once)

  • Go to messaging app - then settings. In setting make sure Auto-retrieve and Delivery reports are check/enabled. (this will make the phone automatically send/receive messages and each message will now show the send status (success/fail))
  • If you notice you have a unnessesary amount of threads in your message history press the menu button and delete some.(just a percaution.)

The Fix:

  • In the moment you notice a message you sent does not have the successful send marker showing on it this text has been delayed due to the messaging service stalling. (you can check by simply sending a message to yourself. if you get no reply the service has stalled and your messages are being delayed.)
  • To fix this: from home press the Applicatons button to display all your apps - press settings icon - applications - running services.
  • From here find the messaging service in the list (com.android.mms). If you have the latest android update you may have to press the menu button , then "show cached processes" in order to see the messsaging service in the list. once you see it stop the service.
  • Go back to the messaging app and send a simple text message. this will restart the messaging service which will cause all your messages to send/recieve right away. (I just send a message to my self, that way i can see if the message send and receive successfully.)

I can see it on my phone. Have you followed the instruction correctly?

  • To fix this: from home press the Applicatons button to display all your apps - press settings icon - applications - running services.
  • From here find the messaging service in the list (com.android.mms). If you have the latest android update you may have to press the menu button , then "show cached processes" in order to see the messsaging service in the list. once you see it stop the service.
