Sometimes when I get a message, I'll get anywhere from 2-8 copies of that same message. It's not good because I think it counts as 8 separate copies of the text - not just one text that I get a few times.
Anyone have ANY idea what this could be? I'm on Alltel, if that helps.
When this has happened in the past to me (I am on Sprint), it was because I was in a poor signal area when receiving the message. I also had the reverse happen when I would try to send text in a poor signal area...it would send my text multiple times.

Hmm.. I guess that could be possible. I just have a hard time with it because I normally have 5 bars. Maybe it's on their end..?
Any other thoughts?

I've been trying to solve some intermittent probs with messages that may be due to radio probs or possibly probs with handcent SMS.
When using the quick reply usually the message appears to go then a few seconds later I get the red triangle telling me message not sent. If I then resend, the message goes without an alert, but it appears it doesn't get to the recipient, even though it shows still in my thread.
Just wondered if anyone else has had similar probs, with or without Handcent
I have also been experiencing probs like the number being "unavailable" to folks calling me when I know its not, and with calls dropping out
So I had been asuming it was possibly a radio glitch, and swapped from 2.3 to 2.2 MCR, then changed my radio to 6-18EU and then to 5-31BU and I'm currently on 5-15U which is seeming the most stable.

It seems there is a few issues.
I have confimed instances of not receiving incoming calls at random intevals, I cannot pinpoint what is causing them. People say they have been trying to ring me and its just going to voicemail. I tried it myself randomly and 1 in 10 times it would not ring, no reason, had full signal!
As for SMS, I do get (quite low) occasions where a text wont sent, but when retrying it sends straight away, not sure why this is.
I've also had issues when trying to ring someone, my phone will just hang up and not even get to the point of ringing / going to voicemail. This can happen about 5-6 times before actually getting a ring out.
I've tried all the radio's available and they all seem to be the same. Pretty poo as I use the phone for business and I cannot afford to be losing calls.
I'm on o2 uk and always have my mobile data on, not sure if this could be causing it.
Yes, I get that, and on occasion emails not sent. But assume that comes down to the not great signal of the phone. Also, the SMS can freeze on occasion and you have to wait before you can slide through the individual users messages to look back.
Hi,
since I'm having the same kind of issue and got answer from support an relatives, maybe if you follow that thread we'd all get the answer we need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570436
I am having similar issues using the standard messaging app. I have also noticed more recently that I find my handset with no signal for extended periods, I often have to restart to get the signal back.

I have exactly the same problems with stock radio on T-mobile uk so it seems its a problem with the phone rather then particular network if it appears on o2 as well... its quite annoying to be honest where someone is trying to reach me and it goes straight to voicemail 5 times in a row and I know that my phone has been on the desk all the time with good signal..
for t-mob uk try the 07-08 radio
ive got it and it works prety well
http://android.modaco.com/content/h.../09-10-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/
I already have 07-08 radio!!
i occasionally dont receive txts til about an hour after they are sent and sometimes the same person has problems calling me also on a rare occasion it says number not recognised when i call them back.
very strange and even more annoying as its my gf's number it doesnt like lol.
radio 07.08

How can I enable EMS on the phone? When I try to send a 160+ character message to someone on the verizon network or they send one to me it keeps breaking it up. It should be kept as one block of text since verizon to verizon uses ems.

This isn't necessarily an answer but a workaround, I've heard that "Handcent SMS" breaks up your 160+ messages in two then sends them separately. If all else fails maybe you can try that.
But from my experience it seems weird because "sometimes" it sends them in two automatically and "sometimes" it doesn't
Actually, I have a related problem... For some reason, whenever I write a message that's longer than one text, it shows me the count of how many messages it takes up.... but when I send it, the other person NEVER gets it. Isn't it supposed to break it up into separate messages? It doesn't send it at all.
I am getting SMS Error - Cause Code Addr.Vcnt.,0
I have only experienced this on sending International txt messages but when you send a long txt msg your phone normally splits the txt messages into the allowed txt size for example you can write up to 160 per message and if you go over your phone splits it into seperate txt messages instead of 1 but I tried to send one long message internationally and got the error code instead of splitting the message.
I have even tried doing this on shorter messages right over 160 like 161 it still gives me the error code. This is the first phone I experienced this on other phones it would split the message.
Has anyone experienced this or is there a fix, I wonder if sprint is aware of the problem.
Ok I called sprint and they Identified the error code right away. Stating that error is when a network on the other end does not accept msg over a certain amount of characters.
So the cause of this is motorola not Sprint, they stated they intentionally did not put in the software for splitting the msgs automatically when going over a certain amount of characters it keeps it as one big message.
The issue has been reported to them by various customers already and have gotten no response back from motorola.
Hopefully we can get an update on this soon
Try the handcent app. It will allow you to split messages. I'm using it on the photon now and it works great. Has a lot of customizable features, too. And, best of all, FREE!

Thanks I will give it a try , but still would be nice if Motorola would change this in their first update from sprint.

It is sprint. I will be on the phone and sms someone and get this error back. I am literally texting only hi or hey or test while I am on the phone and it is getting a failed error code 0.
Ever since I picked up my Inc4G, I seem to randomly get double text messages. Its not from just specific contacts, not from specific carriers, and seems to have no pattern. Sometimes I'll even get three of the same message. I've never had this happen on any of my other phones. Already wiped data to see if that solved it, no dice. Anyone else?
I've gotten a ton of txt's in the last 24 hours because i have my servers at work set to txt me when stuff goes down and comes back up. Had a problem around 12:30 last night so my phone started blowing up.
ANYWAYS i compared the amount of alerts set out with the txt's received (45 in total) and the number was exactly the same on the phone over the course of 5 hours or so. I use Chomp for my txting app, but the txts still drop into the base txting app and i checked both, and the numbers are spot on.
Using stock rom, bootloader unlocked, custom recovery, rooted.
Sorry dude, sounds like a carrier issue though, more than the phone to me.

Sounds like you need to go to the Verizon store. That's almost certainly a carrier service problem (SIM, activation, etc.) rather than software.
I've received MMS and SMS just fine.
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
I have seen this on other phones as well. Delete and recreate the mail accounts and it should clear up the double texts etc.
He said he wiped data in the OP though.

For me it seems to be from iphone users I'm getting double and sometimes triple texts, and also the text for the most part we be split up instead of just the single message

I've never had that happen. Sometimes on my old Dinc, my recipient would receive multiple duplicate texts from me, but that was only if I was receiving a text at the same time I sent one and it made me try to resend, even though the first went through.
As for the split parts, in my experience, any phone from a different network with over 160 characters will come in as multiple texts, as well as any non-smart phone on your own network.
text glitch?

I don't get duplicates, but what happens on mine is after I send a text, there will be the last word of the message I just sent sitting in the new text box. Its random too, every now and then.

This started happening to me after i updated Swype, so i went back to the previous version and that seemed to take care of it.

I am randomly getting and sending duplicate text messages. Anyone experiencing the same?
Yup. When I'm in the subway and reception comes back I get duplicate texts and the person I'm sending texts to also gets duplicate texts. It probably something with the system.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Me too. Seems to be an intermittent problem in my area: northern Colorado.
It's been happening to me regardless of how good or bad my signal is.

I know that when I send a Live Message it fails the first time (on receiving note 8) because it's too large. then it downloads a second one which is under 1MB.

Lately it's been pretty bad. Sometimes I receive the same message 5 times. It happens with mms as well. I've spoken with T-Mobile techs and there is an open ticket with T-Mobile engineering to see if it's an issue with the Note 8. Let's see how far this goes.
