Phone sending double messages since ICS Update - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just updated my 9100 to ICS through Kies. Phone is ALL stock. Now all of a sudden all texts are being sent as doubles. Any ideas? I'm using Go SMS Pro for messaging.

It's been reported in all of the ICS threads so far. Search for more info

Same for me using handcent, it seems this happens with 3rd party sms apps, not sure why though.
Not sure if this is ICS related or if our apps have incompatibilities with ICS or this particular ICS rom.

Phone is ALL stock huh? Go SMS Pro is a stock Samsung app? Are you getting double texts in the stock SMS app?

have you updated your gosms?, they have this issue with ics, use stock message app for now

have same problem too, it looks like its something worng with all sms apps , other than stock. IF you try any any app that gives you quick reply, it sends 2 sms, some sends more and gets stuck =\ this sucks

Yeah I am having the same problems with my Sgs2. Using Go SMS pro...
Guess i have to stick to whatsapp instead

+1 Same here! GoSMS Pro on my stock SG S2 sends double!

Same for me...
with all third part apps...

freeze Stock Messaging app..or Uninstall it
Im On ICS>..i just Froze the stock messaging app and i guess that was it..hope this helps..

bug
named xxlpq rom and any other custom roms based on lpq have this bug when using 3rd party app for messaging one send by app another send by system. so this bug remains till an update by samsung or devs find a solution.

I have the same problem, but i cant freeze or disable stock messaging app, or even start it for that matter, cuz it aint there.. there is something called messaging and i have that frozen to be sure that only gosms was active, and now i cant defrost it... *sigh*

Am I the only one who had this duplicate sms problem with the stock app as well?

Dev team being samsung?

if you use LP7 it doesnt do it... Also Handcent have released a fix for their product (not officially)... but if you just use LP7 it will work...
It is in the other post on this subject...

So far, so good, with the updated handcent. I hope gosms steps up soon.

[q] gtalk app on ics chat order

I'm using cleanrom 4.0 and noticed that messages in the gtalk app sometimes groups together. Like I send a message and it gets added to the group of messages that I last sent instead of the bottom of the list after the message that I was replying to.
Anybody else notice this? Is this normal in the ics gtalk app?

i get this too, every rom i have tried will do this.
That's annoying. How did you get around it? Do you use another app it learned to deal with it?
My ginger bread ROM didn't do this

i learned to deal with it. IDK i havent found a fix so i just read my msg's carefully now.
edit:
i think it has to do with the ICS gtalk app. the GB one doesnt do this
Does anybody know if the latest leaks still do this? I've been thinking about flashing the latest but been hesitating reinstalling and setting everything back up
Sent from my ADR6425LVW
It's nothing to do with the latest leak...It's the actual Google talk app. If you roll back to an old version it should fix it. I just learned to deal with the problem.

Thanks for this. I much prefer the stock MMS app. Additionally, I've tested the Calendar app on DAGr8's ICS alpha 2 and it works great and includes the stock widget.
Are you able to receive MMS messages with the stock MMS.apk frozen? I have not been able to. They just fail to download.

Yep. Wasn't sure what freezing in Titanium Backup was so I tried my own thing. All I did was install it from the Play Market. Then in Titanium Backup under "Backup/Restore" I long pressed on "[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messaging 4.0.3-144" (see first attached image) then clicked "Open system details...". In there I disabled Messaging (see second attached image).
Just tested MMS and was able to receive a picture text from my fiance (see third attached image for success!) Hopefully this helps.

Thanks, I use TiBu all the time.
Apparently, there's some bug where it won't receive MMS from iPhones. This would be a problem for me since my wife has an iPhone 4. It would also explain why I thought I want getting them at all since she was the one I kept asking to send me test messages.
No success with email.apk

Sorry about that. I'm new to TiBu so I figured I'd err on the side of caution and be thorough with what I did (plus I had no idea if that was how to freeze an app and there was no mention of freezing in TiBu itself). I meant no disrespect, friend

I am in this same situation. I can send/receive sms messages fine to and from iPhone users. I can send MMS to iPhone user without any problem, but I can not receive MMS from iPhone.
Is there any known workaround for this?
Nevermind.

Odd, I grabbed them out of a Galaxy Nexus CM9 package and installed them manually and no issues at all. I attached what I used, try them out. Make sure to replace or rename the existing Samsung versions.

[Q] Contact Pictures not showing in Handcent after flashing CleanROM ICS

Anyone else having this issue? I have "show contact pictures" selected in Handcent's settings and the pictures are still not showing.
Sorry for posting in here. I don't have enough posts to post in the developer's forum.
Thanks in advance.

From what I can tell from a quick search, it appears that it's a problem with Facebook integration with Handcent. While Handcent is installed, go ahead and log out of Facebook for Sense. Then log back into Facebook for Sense.
~co~
Sense has the contact pictures locked to an extent. You'll need to wait for your developer to update the app

Go SMS Pro has the same problem, just going to have to wait until they get updated.

I guess I should have said this in my first post. Pictures were working fine in Handcent before I flashed to the ICS CleanROM. I was using a Gingerbread ROM from CleanROM before.

I believe the problem is ICS not sense, I think I read somewhere that ICS handles facebook integration differently and that apps will have to be updated to work correctly with it.
I get issues with contact picture too most of the time it is caused by facebook syncing contacts
On meanrom ICS and having the same issue. Glad it's not just me. I just reported the bug to Handcent and all of you should as well.
That's what happens when viewing it in google play.

Problem in receiving sms (gosms pro)

Hi! The last months I have a problem with my xperia arc. I don't recieve sms when I play games. Neither notification sounds nor vibration beats.. But there is not the only problem. Even when I exit the game, the message there is nowere. Neither in go sms pro nor in system messaging app. To anyone who sends me message the report goes normally. But Ι don't have any message. I use gosms pro and at the beginning I thought that the problem is on go sms. I unistalled it and installed handcent sms. The same problem.. Finally I unistalled both and the system app worked fine.. But I think that I can't use it. It has so few options. I'm sure that the problem isn't the carrier, because I have tried two different carriers. Finally note that I used 2.3.4 stock rom and root. I have upgraded to ICS but I disappointed and returned to 2.3.4....62. I talked about this problem to greek forum too, but no soloution founds.. I hope that someone could help me.
Thanks a lot!
Have you tried stock messaging app?

Yes, I tried it, I wrote it. It works fine the stock app, but I think that it has so few options.. For this reason I try to find another solution..
i have same problem, i flash another firmware, but after 1 2 3 month, problem return again
I sorry, I missed it. It must be that while you're running a game, the messaging app runs out of ram and gets killed. I dont know if it helps installing it as system, but I imagine system apps have priority over user apps.
I'm gonna asume you're rooted, so you can use the app Link2SD, which can 'convert' an user app into system app. Try that and report.
Oh you are keeping the stock SMS app right? I mean, you don't disable it, you just disable notifications?

Yes, I keep stock sms app and disable notifications. I tried to remove it with titanium backup and I kept only gosms pro, but the same broblem. So I installed it again. Now I will try the method that you suggest to me.. Thanks a lot anyway

I converted gosms pro to system app, but unfortunately the problem still exists.. Nothing changed. I hope there is another solution..
I wonder .. if I upgrade to the last version of ICS, could gosms works fine? I can't think nothing else and I can't undestand why I have this problem. I think that I had the same problem on my xperia x8 too..

Mod Request

Can someone make a flashable zip with the cm 10 sms app and whatever else is needed to make it work on the stock rom. I tried installing it to system/app, but it crases when sending an mms.... also the black theme built into it didnt work. I hate the fact that the stock sms app sends out slideshows instead of pictures.
It could require a mod of the framework. What do you like about the cm10 msg app and maybe there's an msg app on Google play that someone could suggest.

By ics message app, are you refering to the one that was included in the factory build of ics? I just want to be able to send mms without sending the images as a slideshow. I was looking at the comments for go messenger and people seemed to have trouble with mms in that app. I figured I would be better off trying to get an oem app.
