duplicate texts, not notifications - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Hi:
Since purchasing the gs3, which i love, i keep receiving duplicate text messages.
I am using go sms pro, and receive 2 of every sms. Mms seems to work fine.
I do have at&t messages installed for the visual voicemail, but have text message notifications disabled. I also have notifications disabled in stock messaging.
I am not receiving double notifications, however, that seemed to be the only suggestions i found when searching.
Please help, this is driving me nuts.

apparently your phone also does duplicate threads

[Q] Unread SMS notices

Whenever I restart my Atrix, I receive a notification that I have 6 unread sms messages even though I have read all my sms messages. I am using Handcent.
Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and if there is anything I can do to fix this annoyance?
Thanks.
May want to disable notifications and auto-retrieve in the native SMS app.
Try that and see if it helps

[Q] I'm Not Receiving MMS Messages

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.

GV text message delay with sms forwarding?

Anyone else have issues with texts sometimes not sending and then suddenly sending a bunch at once?
I don't notice it on my end, and this comes when I use handcent since I have GV forward texts to the phone and have notifications turned off for GV on the phone.
So even though my phone shows the text as sent there have been multiple times when people will receive 10 or so texts at say 5 am.
Then today I just received 2 that were sent on sunday but they even just arrived in GV as well as the phone.

I've experienced the same issue. Also have GV enabled but am using a stock ROM and the stock messaging app. Very odd behavior. Stock message app indicates the sms was sent, but GV and the receipt have not received.
At some future point in time, sometimes a few days later, the SMS will be correctly sent and GV will show and receipt will receive. Haven't been able to narrow down the issue. Very odd bug.
I would speculate its either related to some delay between Sprint and GV or some delay on our device ... My friend has no issues with their NS4G using Sprint and GV so that leads me to think its related to our specific device ...
Any other information anybody has gathered could help us narrow the issue down?
I'm not on stock, so it's not rom specific I guess

No voice call if receiving text?

Has anyone noticed an issue with voice calls going directly to voice-mail if they come through at the same time as sending or receiving texts?
Background:
I have G-voice installed and running strictly as my voicemail service. This works out well for me as it will send me an email notification of a missed call whereas without it if I have no coverage and someone calls me I would never know about it.
I am a Firechief for an oil refinery and I use the phone as my fire call-out pager too. Its rather important that I get my calls.
I have noticed in the past that people would tell me they called but it went to my voicemail. After installing and using G-voice for voice mail, sure enough when they told me that, I would get a missed call notification from G-voice.
We use a call-out system called Send Word Now that will send me a voice call and a text message together when activated. Apparently is at exactly the same time because when I tested it I would only ever get the text mesage and a missed call notification.
My Question:
Has anyone else noticed this and figured out why? It would seem that with a 4G connection and all the data bandwidth available the phone should have no problem doing both. In fact, I can get plenty of text mesaages or incoming calls if I am already talking on the phone.
Just as an update to my own thread in case anyone searches this oddity. The messaging center today informed me that they know of the issue and ALL phones and providers will act the same way. As in, if you get an oncoming call at the same time you are sending or receiving a text the call will go straight to voicemail.

[Q] "Message not sent" only on SMS

I have recently purchased a new i605, rooted, unlocked, and installed TWRP through Casual. And flashed CM10.2-20130827-Nightly-i605. I finally received my SIM cutter in the mail today, and pulled the full size Straight Talk SIM out of my Skyrocket that I have been using with no issues for almost 2 years, cut the SIM, put it in the Note 2, and entered the APN settings. It is receiving good signal, showing the "H" and "H+" the majority of the time. I can make voice calls, receive voice calls, send/receive MMS, and have good data sending and receiving. My only issue is, I can only receive SMS, and when I try to send (or reply to one already received) I get the "Message not sent" error. I saw a possible fix, of updating your SMSC, but I have no clue how to find what my SMSC is in order to input it, and haven't been able to find it either. I tried editing the way the telephone numbers are stored from +1 250-250-2500, to (250)250-2500, +12502502500, +1 (250)250-2500. I also saw where someone found a fix for their situation, where they had accidentally set Google Voice to send text messages. I went into the settings on my Voice app, and that setting was turned on, so I turned it off. But I am still having the same results when trying to send an SMS.
Does anyone have a clue as to how I can find what my SMSC is, so that I can try that fix for the issue?
Did I post this in the appropriate subsection of the Verizon Note 2 forum?
I'm in the exact same situation you are. Send/receive calls, receive texts but can't send texts. I received a new note 2 through insurance two days ago and did the same process of rooting the phone, except I flashed jedix17 on it. So I'm guessing the problem lies in the roms? I haven't had time to switch roms to see if that fixes it though. I'd like to see if there's an easier alternate solution as well.
Ok, I got to playing with the "fixes" I had already attempted, for a second time. Google Voice was set to send SMS, and I would change the setting in Voice to make the messaging app send SMS. Well, I noticed that after closing Voice, then going back to the settings in Voice, it would be set to Google Voice sending SMS again. So I Force Closed the Voice app, and uninstalled it, and the issue cleared up. I have no idea why the app would be automatically changing it's own settings back, after closing it though.
I see. Then it seems you and I don't have the same root problem. I don't have an alternative texting app, so I guess I'm off to reflash my rom.

Did you figure out your issue? If you flashed Gapps, you may have Voice+. Check in your app drawer just to make sure.
Yeah I have fixed it Thanks for asking (and yeah I did check and I did not have voice). Reflashing the rom did indeed work
