I've searched around and found some threads on this but no real solutions so maybe someone can point me in the right direct.
So I can send to text to everyone on my contacts list except one person. They can text me, and we can call each other but when I try sending them a text it acts like it's sending then nothing happens, no error codes. I was able to text this person before as well. I've tried re-adding the contact and even sending the text message directly to the number with no avail. Any ideas?
I'm having this problem too, called sprint they said its an outage. Where are you located?

It can't be an outage, I can text everyone on my phone but this one person... I'm located in Kansas City, MO anyways.
Can you make a call to the person though?

Yes, I stated that.
I'm experiencing something similar. One of my friends can get my texts, but I get their's like 3 days late, and it's not a constant thing, sometimes they go straight through and sometimes they take a few days. She's on verizon, what about your friend?

Try Clearing Data of Messages in Settings/Applications/ManageApps/All!
Is it possible that you checked the box to block the specific person? Look in people and in messaging under that person.

I'm unable to comment on a Facebook Mobile Texts or reply "like" to a status via my facebook text. Example if I get a text from 358336 and it reads Pat is feeling good. If I text "like" to like that status it will not send it to 358336 it will send it to 358337 private message to the user inbox. Now I have tried everything to fix this even resetting my phone, flashing different roms and resetting my accounts setting on facebook still I cant reply to any texts from facebook.
Has anyone one else had this happen to them and if so, How did you fix it.
Happens to me too. That's an issue with Facebooks text service, not android or Eris so I don't think there's a way to fix it.

So is it still happening to you or did it just stop
Last I checked it was still doing that, after a few ppl on fbook told me I sent status comments to their inbox, so I got pissed and turned of texts alerts lol. Their text service has NEVER worked well for me, even on my old prepaid Samsung u350 (or whatever its called lol). I would set times I wanted texts, and would still get em all hours, I would sign up for friends, and only get a few, and worst of all when I had it set to NOT send me texts when I was online... I'd get em. So yea, their fault, their problem, and haven't seen any improvment in two years. I just stopped using it.

When I send texts sometimes my friends don't receive it and the stock messaging app says its sent. So I try sending one with Google voice (I have Google voice integration) and it gets sent. A few hours pass and my friends get all of the messages they never got at the same time..what should I do besides call sprint? Anyone run into this?
Sent from my rockin 3D
Sprint could be having network issues in your area, which is why it sent with GV but not the messaging app.
It has happened to me before. I called sprint and they said something along the lines of network issue lol.
I wouldn't worry unless it keeps happening.
I agree but would also recommend using handcent as ur msging app. I think its by far a way better app
free the dirk
Thanks guys. Yea I had to open up Google voice and send them manually. I was using handcent but I deleted it because I thought maybe it was causing the problem. Guess I'll just have to call sprint *sigh* haha.

I have searched everywhere for this and can't find anything so hopefully someone can help.
When I get a text message often it comes through 2 or 3 times. I am using the stock text message program. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? It is driving me crazy!
Has to be a tmo thing because I get doubles sometimes, or out of order and I use handcent.

Never had it before the Amaze..
possible fix
I had this problem too. What I did was delete all contact duplicates that are in the phone and sim card. So only Google and Facebook should be left to handle contacts.
I had it before on my g2x also.

Please tell me how to do this. When I go to my contact list it only shows one entry but if I want to add someone to favorites it shows 2 or more sometimes. I can't edit them from here though. I REALLY hate that the phone stores them all over. I want ONE google contact list and nothing else. I think it is Facebook causing this. I don't want any Facebook stuff in my contact list. If you can help me delete all the extras I would love it. I have no sim card contacts and no Facebook should show. Thanks!

I discovered that I could select which contacts to use in the Contacts app. So I only show the ones on the phone. However, I did not get multiple SMS even when I had all contacts showing, so I don't know why yours would do that.
EDIT: The main gripe I have is that it automatically selects the contacts picture if they have a facebook profile picture. But it isn't that big a deal.

If you don't want any FB contacts to show removed your FB account under settings>accounts and sync>FB for HTC Sense>remove account
Here is the kicker, I only get dupes with one person, and that person is not even saved to my contacts. This has happened to this phone and my g2x, can anyone explain that?

I'm getting the same issues but it's only happening in the last week or so.
The same thing happens to me just about every single day. It pisses me off. I get about 2 or 3 texts from the same person. The sound on my phone sounds like it's having a seizure because it's not suspecting a rapid fire of texts. Why, why, why? If someone knows the answer, feel free to chime in. I use the stock sms app and have uninstalled google voice, but that didn't help.
I get em too..but only MMS

Happens to me constantly, usually when I'm connected to wifi at home. I'm currently using Quik sense, but i doubt its the ROM.

It's not a Rom issue, I'm not even rooted. I still think it's a tmo issue.

It only seems to be happening on the Amaze though. I called t-mobile cs who pushed me through to tech supp. They couldn't figure it out either.

I wonder if it's a 2G/4G thing. I have it happen from time to time but it usually happens when I'm in an area with spotty 4G so the phone is toggling back and forth between 2G and 4G. I've had them come immediately together and then also within about 30 seconds of each other so it looks like it might be signal related? I guess the way to find out would be to force the phone to 2G only or 4G only and see if it goes away.
For those of you looking to clean up your contacts list. you can hit menu > view > and uncheck all of the things you don't want to show. I for example only show 'my contacts' and 'favorites' from google, and dont show facebook at all. That way only contacts i have on my phone on purpose that are linked to facebook will show, otherwise the extra 500+ people aren't in there. also, theres a setting on gmail if you go to your contacts page > settings > create contacts for auto-complete> and pick 'I'll add contacts myself'. This makes it so any time you email a new address or get a new email it doesn't just store the email address to your phone and gmail account. Really cuts down on clutter.

It's definitely a phone/ROM issue. As I've said before I'm on O2 (UK) and never had this problem before.
I've cleaned my contacts up as suggested and haven't had a problem in 1/2 a week..
It could be a radio ROM problem.. new 4G chip-set, new kernel,, maybe the phone isn't telling the network properly it has received the message and it is being resent?
I downloaded gosms now i don't get the message previews in the lockscreen? Anyone know how i can get those back lol. i like knowing what im getting in a text before unlocking my phone haha
your gonig to have larger problems than that. All third party message apps are broken.
you wont get pictures for contacts, which isnt so bad, but the big one is you wil lget texts form people but it will show the wrong contact it was recieved from. then you respond and it goes to the named contact, not the original sender. so it mixes up the people in the list. Stock messaging app is the only one that works at the moment.

I might be asking for way too much but...
Is there any way to use a widget or app to switch whether I use Sprint or Google Voice to receive calls and texts? I know Sprint offers integration and can port your number an all. But I only want to use G Voice on an as needed basis.
Who knows, maybe it wouldn't even meet my needs. The reason I'm looking for this is because for whatever reason, while I'm in my office, I can't receive texts and barely get cell coverage... No one can, roaming isn't even an option. But I can connect to wifi.
google voice comes with an apps, u can chose however option u want. but it has to have a different number, cant be the same number as your phone number, if u take that integration, u need to remove it and then obtain a new number from google, then everything will work like a charm.

Without sprint integration, google voice can be used for texts only. The widget for google voice allows quick change for using gv to call or not.
I use gv for texts, have my gv number ringing under SIP, don't use gv for outgoing calls as SIP negates that.

Alright, so how do I toggle it on/off. I don't want to use it permanently. Just for texting is just fine too. What I want is to be able to have people texting (in this case now) my normal number be i guess forwarded to Voice. I just care about receiving because I miss a lot of important texts while in my office. you know, the ones that get you in trouble from certain people? lol
Well, I think I found SOMETHING. Haven't tried it yet. The HTC SMS app has a setting to forward texts to either email or another number (it's under the general settings). I'll see how this works out.
EDIT: Not exactly what I was hoping for but oh well. I suspected it wouldn't work, and it doesn't. The SMS app needs to receive it first. Doesn't even help if I can't get them in the first place.

If you login to gv from a desktop, you can set it to forward texts to your other number, or email. Look for settings, gear in top right corner.
Should be self explanatory
