I've never heard of SMS being a hardware issue, but hear me out.
I received a replacement phone from Verizon and kept it stock for about two weeks. Every now and then people would tell me they got duplicate texts from me so I switched from Handcent to the stock Messages app. I had the same problem even after uninstalling Handcent plus I noticed about half my messages fail. So finally I've had enough, rooted, installed BAMF (1.8 the Froyo radio one). It did the same thing - even before restoring any apps. I even tried Plain Jane v2 and some other basic debloat ROM. All had the same issues...
Any ideas on how to fix this? I did a full wipe between all roms. I also tried deleting all messages and clearing data and cache from the Messages application.
I'm thinking I should just unroot and send it to Verizon for a replacement.
Have you tried other MR1 radios besides the stock radio?
No. I didn't think of that. I'll give that a shot
That seems to have worked! Thanks!

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....
There are quite a few threads on this issue...ive yet to find a solution that works for me. I started expericing this about a month ago when i was running Fusion1.1 (JI6). I remember someone telling me to factory wipe and reflash ROM
Well i finally did that recently, i flashed Axura JL5 and made the switch to that. Its still happening.
Funny thing is, when i use HandcentSMS, i cannot send or recieve. But if i use GOsms, i can send, but i just cant recieve.
ive tried the standard TMobile APN settings, and all the kill-throttle APN settings, but they dont change anything.
SOLUTION:
I deleted the default Mms.apk upon flashing Acura JL5. I had no idea that it was required for MMS functionality. Learn something new everyday
So this is an issue that I have seen many a variation on, but none quite like this. The issue is that some texts from folks I receive fine others are sporadic. It seems to vary from day to day and person to person. I can receive a text from someone and respond then not get any other from that person after. Others I gave been able to receive from in the past but do not receive now. I am running GSB 2.2 with the latest vzw radio for the Eris (2.42.01.04.27), using GO sms with the stock messenger installed, but notifications turned off. I've tried a reflash, Full wipe and Flash, *22899, APN backup from a 2.1 rom, tried the spn provided by roirraW "edor" ehT no change. This has happened with chomp also. I am at a loss. It's a shame, because work shed has made a awesome phone out of my little Eris. Any thoughts?
Missing Texts solved
After some experimentation on my part I have discovered that as GoSMS states in its help section, you can remove the stock application but is not recommended. That'll teach me to read more closely before removing apps . So a heads up for all you GOSMS users out there. leave the stock app installed. I have had zero issues with texts since I updated to a newer version of GSB, which reinstalled the stock sms app.
Ok, I've been searching the forums for a few days looking for an answer to this but have been unable to find one. I'm running a rooted X2 with the V6 script and for the past week or so my phone has been weird. I'll get MMS messages one day from one sender and they'll try the next day and it'll never go through, I'm getting this problem from all carriers. I use Handcent but for a few days I uninstalled it and used only the stock text messaging app and still had the same problems. I also, at times will not receive any notification at all that I have an SMS and then when I check my phone I'll have duplicate messages from numerous all come in at once when they've only sent the message one time. So far, the things I've tried are battery pulls, updating roaming capabilities, turning the V6 script off, and using different messaging apps and have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
There is an ongoing issue with SMS/Kmart messages in another thread. Probably a good idea to merge them. You've tried all the suggestions I would give.
I am running SHIFTS3NS3 1.6 with lean kernel 5.01 set to normal...
Since last Friday I can not receive TXT msgs properly. I was using Chomp SMS and read all the threads that I could find and could not find anything about it.
Pulled battery, rebooted, cleared cache, installed 2 different SMS programs... received 2 TXT messages and then... nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Know of any threads that I have missed?
Thanks...
Did your phone get Unprogrammed? You may need to call in and activate it again. I had that happen to me once when I was flashing roms.
I can still make calls... I can send txt... Could it still be deactivated?
No if you can make calls you are fine. Could be an outage in your area I have had that happen before.
Try reseating the sim card

What Leak is SHIFTS3NS3 1.6 based off of. If it is a GB leak prior to 605.5 there is a known issue.
Some phones will receive some but not all SMS messages. The GB 605.5 leak seems to have corrected the issue.
If SHIFTS3NS3 1.6 is based off an older leak and you love it, extract the message.apk from 605.5 leak and install it on your phone
I was having this problem on a bunch of ROMS until they were updated
The 1.6 is based off the 605.3 so maybe that is what is causing it.. I have tried everything else listed... The Dev is said to update the ROM to the newest 605.5 soon... so I hope that will fix it. If I knew how to extract the message.apk from the new one I would do that too... but sadly I am not that far advanced yet.
Thanks,
