Droid Mini , intermittant texts not received, Addr.Vcnt?



Wife has an unrooted VZW Droid Mini XT1030. running JB (not sure which version, will check).

recently have been having intermittent texts not delivered. no error message on sending. they just never get there. in a back and forth conversation 1 or 2 messages out of 10 might not arrive. Happens for multiple recipients on different carriers. MMS is fine. Using default Android messaging app.

all messages show up on VZW's online message log (website login from PC, so the message hits their network somehow.) Posted support request via VZW forums. so far we've verified that a reboot doesn't fix it. :rolleyes:

Only thing I notice that seems odd is under message details, the last line for all sent text messages is : "Cause Code: Addr.Vcnt., 0"

Googling brings up a number of old threads back in the Android Gingerbread days, people were often getting that as an error message when messages wouldn't deliver. Also, noticed a number of threads with intermittent delivery issues, similar to mine, and they were almost all Motorola devices of one flavor or another.

Anyone know what that message actually means? I've seen several quite contradictory explanations. Think it's relevant? A red herring? At this point I'm not even sure the problem is the phone vs. something with VZW. Could something on my phone be intermittently messing up delivery?

Second, recommend troubleshooting? If it's the phone, I figure a factory reset's in order at some point. If that doesn't help, other suggestions? Assuming the mini version is right, root/reflash? If it's not the phone... any suggestions for resolving? I was going to port to a VZW MVNO, but if it's a network issue, decent support goes away at that point...
