Razr Text Messaging problem - Motorola Droid RAZR

After I send a text to someone, Razr sends that same text to the same person twenty more times. I don't know what is the problem with it.
Please help

Are you using the standard text messaging app? Are you at the latest over the air software release?

I am using the default application.
And whats the other thing you are talking about?

I am also not able to root my phone

Sounds like a network problem to me.

Have you got proof it's really your phone sending the text continuously? I mean, are you being billed?
It could be you recipient has got a sw/network problem (like I do) cause by his mobile not sending ACK to SMSC for received message... so the Network thinks the message hasn't been delivered and tries again and again.

Sending and receiving text

My phone doesn't seem to send all my text and i receive multiple messages from the same person for most og my messages anyone else having this issue
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
Have exactly the same issue. If install custom SMS clients as Handset or GoSMS pro - it will do things even worse. too many sms messages. Updating radio helped a little, but sometimes I find sms messages are not received by my phone in time... Also person who sends text messages to me says there are no devliery reports for any sms she sends to me.
If someone know how to solve multiple and missing SMS messages - please reply!
Experienced this issue on some XT910's. Apply the ota update 2.3.6 and it will be fine.
I applied OTA update and still got this annoying issue. SMS app (default) seems to be more accurate now in terms of receiving texts, but still got multiple incoming text messages 3rd party Sms app will make it only worse.
Have someone solved this?
Could be a faulty Sim card.

I had this issue as well. I ended up grabbing a Galaxy Nexus and use the same sim card without issue.
I like the razr a lot, this is not vs post. Just thought I could help rule out the sim card.

I had the same issue but I eventually ended up realizing it was only certain people who it was happening too.. Never had a issue sending but I eventually figured out it was people I knew on a certain carrier that were the ones I was getting double msg's sometimes triple..
I'm with Rogers and my friends on Telus send/receive was fine but those on Bell I would be able to send fine but whenever they would send me a msg i'd get it twice sometimes 3 times. Eventually it just stopped and all works fine.

Cant send sms

Sorry if this has been answered before but I can't find the answer.
I got my gsm razr today and I love it but I can't send a text message, I can receive texts and surf the Web. My phone us showing 4 bars of hspa. I can even tether, but no sending sms. My phone says error code 500.
Only thing I found on google said restart it and SMS will be.fixed but that didn't work.
the phone is rooted on 2.3.5 if that matters.
has anyone had this problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks

I have the same problem. The only way I can get mine to work is to put a SIM from another account in my phone. Enter *#*#4636#*#* and go to Phone Information. Refresh the SMSC. It will populate with the correct information. At this point, I can send texts from the phone. Put in the original SIM (do not reboot phone) and then you should be able to send SMS from your number.
The only problem is that the SMSC number does not stay through reboots. I have to do this process every time I reboot.
Does anyone know how to get this number to stick?
I don't have the same problem however I have noticed that GOSMS Pro from the market does allow a Customized SMSC setting in the Send Settings tab. Perhaps you can try that out and see if it fixes the issue?
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both but neither work. I really like this phone but not having text us killing me. Someone please help

Well I went to att and got a new Sim card. Now my texting is working. so I guess that is the solution.

[Q] Can't send MMS messages

Randomly this evening, my phone has decided that it no longer wants to send any MMS messages. I can send SMS messages just fine, but MMS messages do not go through. They sit for a while, and then it just says that the text message cannot be sent.
Anyone have any suggestions that don't involve factory resetting?

You have 2 options.
1)do master reset and retest it.
2) call your cell carrier.
I had a similar problem a few nights ago. All I had to do was reboot it.
That's all I need to do for a few random glitches.

Do you have data disabled? I noticed when data is disabled, mms do not go through..
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk
No, data was enabled. I was able to browse the internet and such, so I don't think it was a connectivity problem. But it's fixed now, so I guess it really doesn't matter.

Okay. When I said it was fixed that was actually a lie. It's started doing it again. I have no idea what caused it, but it will sometimes work and sometimes not. Any ideas anyone?

Will it be the APN settings problems?
In some country you have to set your mms APN manual
Mine does the same thing. A restart is only a temporary fix because it has done it again a day later or so. I have not found anything to fix it yet.
I am on 4g. Not on wifi. unlimited messages.

Try this on dialpad
*#*#4636#*#*
Wacth phone services
Then tap second right update buttom
It must be filled with Service Center Number, for sms/mms data. If you get 'update error', you may have a bug in system that prevents it from correctly setup of older sim cards (mostly cutted ones), if so, buy a new micro sim. It's cheap and solves a lot of small problems
Thanks, and if helps any way, share the learnin'

I tried this but every time I entered the code nothing popped up. But I think I've figured it out. It appears to only happen when I'm connected to a WiFi network. So I guess I just have to disconnect from WiFi if I want to send an MMS message.

Well, it'd boring this way. Try Apn Droid Pro on G play, it will keep mms on

I had the same issue, tried a number of things to fix it. Called Verizon and apparently it's a known issue that they expect to be fixed with the upcoming GB update. Other than that the only way I was able to workaround was installing Go SMS Pro, which sent MMS messages fine.
I figured out what the problem is! It stems back to the problem the Razr has with switching between 3G and 4G. In my house, I have to use WiFi because I live on the edge of a 4G service area. I get maybe one bar of 4G service, which without WiFi, pretty much refuses to do anything having to do with data. Apparently, even though WiFi is enabled, the MMS messages are NOT being transmitted over WiFi. So instead, it attempts to send them over 4G cellular data and fails because of the poor reception in my house. Switching the phone from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only before sending the messages (my signal reception jumps to 4 bars) allows it to send without failing.

not receiving text

Im having a problem I can send text and they receive it but I do not receive any replys. I do not receive any text messages at all. I am using the stock app. I tryed using handsent and still nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks
Is it just to one person or all?
And I'm sure you've tried a restart / shutdown battery pull right?
Have you deleted anything from titanium?
Can you make/recieve phone calls ?
Might be a Verizon reset. I've seen messages get caught up in the que and they do whatever they do and I get flooded. ← my money is on this.
Im not receive any text but they do receiving mine. I did no a restart and a battery pull still nothing. I do not have titanium installed. I can make and receive calls. Is there a way to reinstall the message app? Thanks
No. Just call good ole 611 and tell em your texts aren't coming through.
Maybe try pulling the Sim card out for a couple minutes then putting it back in...idk if it'll help but its worth a shot. (Turn off phone before hand)
It seems that im getting text from everyone except from iphone users. My wife has the iphone 4 and I do not receive her messages but she does get mine.

Did u have an iPhone prior to this? And did you have imessage turned on? If so you need to disable / delete or whatever you want to call it your "@me.com"account. When I got my s3 it did this to me and the only thing I could think of was imessage...

[Q] MMS won't send

I'm having trouble with my phone's messaging. I can send texts fine, but I can't send any group messages or MMS messages. I've tried unrooting, updating to the newest OTA update, using a third party texting app, and replacing the SIM card. Nothing works. I can't send or receive group messages or attachments. I tried Go SMS Pro, and when I tried to send group messages, it failed, then sent the message individually to each person. When I tried sending a picture, it said the service was not activated on the network.
This got me thinking it might be something with our texting plan, but everyone else in my family can send and receive group messages and attachments without problems. So it's a problem with my phone only. Does anyone have suggestions?

might try going into your setting and unchecking fastboot .. read somewhere that worked for others ... good luck
Nope, that didn't work, either before or after a reboot. Any other suggestions?
Had a similar issue. I don't know if its because I'm still locked and unrooted but I recieved an error code when I would try to send messages. I actually had to get o the phone with Big Red and they had reconnect me to another network connection of some sorts. Weird.

Sorry, what do you mean you had to "get o the phone with Big Red"? You had to carry it back to Verizon?

He missed a 'n', he got on the phone with big red. Aka he called Verizon.

This has been solved. I switched my number in January, and the service had been disabled then. I was able to get into a live chat with a vzw customer support guy, and he was helpful enough not only to fix MMS, but also group messaging on my phone. It took a couple of hours after trying in vain to put a password in over the phone, but contacting Verizon is the only way to fix this. If you have rooted your phone (as I had previously), and you still have that ugly "tampered" or "relocked" message at the top of the bootloader, Verizon's live chat system is probably your best bet. Even if you haven't rooted your phone, live chat may be faster. You can skip the "reboot, reset, ask other employees for help" routine you'll probably go through if you go to a physical location.
I think I have the same problem too..
When I'm sending a group message .. one of or two of the messages wont send
