Hi all,
I've been having this rather baffling problem for a while now where various people have reported that they keep receiving copies of text messages I've sent them. This appears to be happening with no rhyme or reason - Sometimes they re-send, and sometimes they don't. It happens to some people I send text messages to, but not others. The only thing I have observed is that these repeat messages do appear in my sent items and I noticed that one repeating text message was stuck in my outbox and I was unable to delete it.
I'm using DCD 3.2.0 with radio version 3.42.30. I don't think this has anything to do with DCDs rom or the new radio as I've had this problem for several months. The only additional software I had installed was HTC Home - I did a hard reset for now and didn't install HTC Home just to see if that was the culprit - No problems yet.
I've searched the forums and found some people having this issue in the past, but no solution as far as I can see. Has anyone else had this particular issue? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
this is most likely a carrier (network) issue and has nothing to do with your phone. if you're on verizon, try dialing *28899

Sorry - Forgot to mention I'm on Sprint. I've already contacted them and they supposedly reprovisioned my account, but that hasn't appeared to help anything. Thanks for your response.
i guess you could try reflashing, but like i said it sounds like a network issue so you'd probably be wasting your time. did sprint recognize a problem?
Yep, already tried reflashing. And no, Sprint said everything looks peachy on their end.
are you getting any kind of notification that your text wasnt sent? are they queing up at all? are you using SMS software?

Well, I occasionally get a notification that it wasn't sent if I tried to send a text message at the exact time I received a text, but I'm not sure that those are the times my texts would start repeating. No additional software - Just using the standard threaded text messaging that comes with wm 6.1.
i dunno man i would just call Sprint and ask them to reset/refresh things on their end regardless of how it looks to them. i'm not familiar with how Sprint works or how their tech support is. sorry i couldnt help more
That's alright, man. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!
well I have experienced this problem with before. This problems occurs when your texts messages are not send thru the first time...next time when access the conversation thread all of the unsend draft messages will be resent, thus creating a double message so to speak. what I found to fix the problem is to reflash and rerun the sprint cab. Generally this should fix the problem. If you are continuing to experience this problem I believe you might have a radio incompatiblity problem. I suggest to flash with different radio.

Interesting point. However, I've had this problem with several different roms and radios so I'm not sure that's the culprit. Also, I've reflashed several times and the problem keeps coming back.
reflash the newest official sprint rom and test it out for a bit. if you still have the issue then its obviously on the network and don't let them tell you otherwise.
Well, I've already done that as well.
I tried the newest sprint rom before moving to DCD. Well, I guess I'll go and harass Sprint. Again, thanks for your help.
Well unfortunately you are going to have to live with this unless Sprint steps up.......it is a Sprint issue and it happens to everyone.....but I can say it has not happened to me in a little while....I have ran many radios and roms and it still happens....every time you talk to Sprint everything is peachy on their end.....LMAO....

I'm receiving double text messages now on a lot of my text messages I receive. It doesn't seem to matter who the text message is from. It's happened after I upgraded the Radio, DCD ROM, and Bootloader to the latest versions below. I don't know if that's what caused it or if there is something wrong with the Verizon Service and I should call Verizon. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you!

I know i have had this happen to me on alltel a couple times normally give it a couple days and the issue resolves itself no real point in calling CS they will just walk you through a bunch of stuff that have nothing to do with the issue
Are you using HTC home, by any chance? I've had this issue quite a few times before. I haven't had any dupe text messages after I uninstalled HTC Home - Just a thought.
No, but I'm using HTC Homeplug 1.12.0.0, but it was installed via the Kitchen, so I don't think it can be uninstalled. I guess I'll wait a week or so and if it keeps happening I'll contact Verizon if it does. Thanks.

It's still happening but not as often as it was doing it. I complained to them a while ago about getting email notifications as a SMS everytime I got a new hotmail email message. I wonder if they did something while they were working on this complaint. The SMS was from OZMail wish is a Verizon applicaton for email that I used, but stopped using. Well, I guess I will call them and see what they say.
I have a huge problem sending text messages.
After typing a messages and trying to send the message it sometimes takes about 30 min. before it is gone. The same problem is with receiving if someone types a message to me and sends it away it sometime takes up to 2h. before i'm receiving.
I already tried serveral radios, changing settings in phone under Services but nothing worked.
Other people with the same Mobile provider don't experience this problem...
Anybody know a solution for this?
Thanks in advanced
I recall reading some posts from other members with similar issues on different carrier networks.
One member ended up contacting the carrier to have them reset his profile.
Another member had to contact the carrier and have them send a new SIM card.
HTH,
i had a problem where I couldn't send or receive them at all.... it occured after I reverted the phone back to stock for warranty... i loaded the latest fuze update, then reverted the spl to 1.90.... wouldnt do sms.... i fixed it by loading the update again, letting it override the spl 1.90 for the newer one 5.10, or whatever it said, i can't remember....
doubt anything i just said has any relevance to ur issue, disregard it all if it doesnt....
Thnx for helping I tried an other sim from an other provider and no problems at all. After searching the forum for a bit I red a lot about changing the sim because it is too old... (1/2 year )
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.
I'm on TMOB in UK

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.
White hero, official latest ROM on O2.

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

Can someone please help me with my long going problem?
Intermittently, when replying to a text message (either in stock messaging or handcent, etc) the phone does not send the text message, and refuses to send for up to a minute after retrying, then the message will eventually send.
This has been happening for MONTHS, and I have had my HTC hero replaced through orange several times regarding the issue, as they had identified it as a handset fault. I then got a replacement SIM from orange aswell to try and rectify the issue, but shortly after registering my new SIM, the issue still occurs.
It seems someone in this thread has the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665932
I tried the "fix", ie. making sure all numbers were in international number format (+44...) but this made no difference.
As I said, this issue is intermittent and RANDOM, but happens around 3 times a day. It is very frustrating especially when trying to reply to a text urgently.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Before anyone asks, yes my message centre number is correct (+447973100973).
It only seems to be when replying to a text message, well that is when i notice it anyway.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
I started to get this when I rooted to VR12, it did it alot the first couple of days then didn't do it much. I've now unrooted to orange 2.1, its done it twice in a week. It didn't do it at all on 1.5, maybe a coincidence. Location doesn't matter either.
I noticed this issue. I updated to 2.1 and found im having the same problem. Its intermittent so i cant tell what is forcing it to "retry". Only noticed this since going from 1.5 ---> 2.1.
I installed Darkstone's Froyo Sense v1 and just today gave me the error. Friend of mine actually mentioned it earlier today. We tested it a few times. When I sent him an mms, I got the error, but he still got it. The little envelope icon remained on my message. Tried it again with another friend and same thing, but after 2min the message was sent.
I had the same problem.
I fixed it by entering the service number in the service-menu of the radio. DIAL *#*#4636#*#* and you will see the menu comming up. Take the upper option. Scroll down and update your servicenumber there. While you are there check if the prefferd network is " gsm auto prl" instead of "wcdma". It can save some power.
Goodluck.

Hi mcall_r
just wondering if any of these suggestions fixed your problem as I'm having the same issue. mach2005 where do you get the service number from to enter?
Me too!
Hi,
I've been having this issue too. Along with all the other bugs introduced with 2.1 it's been driving me nuts.
The issue seems to occur intermittently and with a variety of numbers. Normally I get the notification sound, a text icon with an exclamation mark in the notification bar and the text 'unable to send text message'. After a while it normally resolves itself and the message is sent however with one number, my mum's, the problem always persists.
Initially I tried checking the message centre number, ultimately I tried a master reset, without any joy. Then I got a new SIM from Orange, which still hasn't resolved the issue. I can pop the SIM into another phone and send messages to her number so it's definitely the phone.
Just today I noticed that I had an unread text from 'Anon' deep in my message thread, which apparently had come from nowhere (I have observed this before). After deleting the thread I was again able to text my mum, is this just a coincidence? Seriously pissed off with this issue but hoping it is now finally resolved. The messaging in Android/Sense seems fubar, I've also had issues with it resolving to the wrong contact when selecting 'Send message' from another contact. Anyone had these same issues in combination with the 'cannot send text message' error?
Been waiting on AT&T to get back to me, having opened a tech ticket (On Sunday) to resolve issue. I can receive MMS messages, but I can't send one. Regular SMS not a problem. Have no issue with my Data connection. Reviewing the logcat file, I see a HTTP 502 error bad gateway showing up when the error occurs. So I am wondering if this is an issue with the HTC Phone on AT&T Network.
I have tried using different APNs, but that doesn't have any effect. I then decided to try a different ROM from Stock, and installed Venom latest. That had no effect.
So anyone else having an issue with sending MMS on AT&T with the M9?

Ruu and start over. Something has happened somewhere. I can't think of anything but a setting that would cause that. I would only backup your photos etc, i would not restore back to your current setup. Use ruu.exe or sdcard method, not fastboot method.

I'm going to wait for AT&T I think it's an error on their end. Supposed to hear by Friday.
I have had that exact problem with a different device before and it was an issue on the network side, not the device. They had to do some reprovisioning with line and that fixed it up. It is ridiculous that they are making wait so long when it is such an easy fix. Have you tried sending an MMS to yourself? Sometimes this helps with the provisioning.

Yes I have tried that, and sometimes it works but mostly doesn't. Supposed to hear back today.
AT&T never got back to me, so I had to call them. The girl I was working with seems to think it's the SIM card. That doesn't make sense to me, because if it works with the Interwebs, Facebook, Instagram,and I can recieve MMS, then I would think it's not the SIM card, whatever. Am going to test it the SIM card on my S4 to see if that makes a difference (Don't think it will.)
The people that answer the phone when you call are the first level of support. They know very little when it comes to technical support. If turns out not to be the sim card, calk back and ask them to pass you on to the next level of support.

I agree, the person I spoke with last Sunday elevated me to a next level tech who was still unable to figure it out. After trying a new sim card which still didn't work, I did a data reset from settings. It fixed the problem, and I still had root
