Hey all,
Hoping you can help because this one has Verizon techs puzzled. A few days ago I was sending a text to my wife and when I did for some reason my signal cut out totally and I lost it for hours. I took my phone to Verizon and they said there was a glitch and factory reset my phone. Here is the issue now. Whenever I send a lengthy text to my wife (a text that is two pages) she will get the majority of the old text message days ago and only two sentences of the one I am currently sending. I reset my phone again...deleted the thread with that message in it. She deleted my thread on her phone. Verizon techs on the phone had her power down her phone and they did something on the back end but it is still happening. She has not factory reset her phone which is the only thing I can think of at this point. She will get brief texts from me with no problem, but a lengthy one she gets the problem stated above. That original text I sent was a lengthy one....any one have any ideas on how to stop that from happening?

Wow, that is crazy! Maybe both of you could download and try a third party texting app like SMS PRO or CHOMP or something?? I am assuming you are using the stock messaging app. Can't hurt to give it a try?! Good Luck!

My phone has always received an occasional duplicate text message here and there from 1 or 2 contacts regardless of the ROM used. However, within the past two days, I've been getting BOMBARDED with duplicate text messages from many contacts. Nothing has been changed on my phone.
Have you experienced this? Is there a fix available?
To say this has been annoying is a gross understatement!
This happened to me last week on CM10. Eventually I fixed it by wiping cache, dalvik and rebooting. It died down shortly after. I was only getting the same couple texts over and over, and new ones weren't coming through.

This problem seems to have stopped on its own even before I got the chance to start wiping. I guess we'll see how it goes. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

My photon and my wife's did this often. I thought it was the phone. Then I started thinking it was Sprint.

I think it is Sprint too - http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/505861.
Yes, this used to happen to me with my Photon (stock ROM). It's aggravating indeed. It also happened with my wife's HTC Evo 3D. I haven't had it happen in awhile, though.
From what I have seen I believe that it is signal related. It seems that when I am on the fringe I will get dupes. It is like sprint text system never gets the message received reply once the device gets the text. This happened stock and while on CM7. I kinda just learned to live with it. It doesn't happen to often for me. I can see where it could be a pita if it happens all of the time.
Hey everyone.
I noticed that the other day, my friend texted me and referred to a picture he'd sent me. It confused the hell out of new because i never saw the picture he sent.
Couple days later, my girlfriend sent me a picture and again, referred to it but i never saw it.
I tried sending myself a picture 3 times today and have yet to see them. Does anyone know what's going on?
I've tried taking out battery and sim card, no change. I haven't done any software mods to my phone for months. I am using the rooted stock rom i believe initially released by beans.
Please help, this is very aggravating. Thanks!
Edit: so i was using Nova Launcher. I switched back to the stock touchwiz default, and am receiving pictures i send to myself... Ideas?
Maybe this will help.
You are still on Verizon?
If you went to straighttalk, etc then the APN settings may off.
If not sometimes just calling Verizon and having them reset on their end fixes it. I have ran into it sometimes in the past.
Interesting. No, still on Verizon hadn't changed anything other than Launcher.
Well, problem is solved for now. After switching back to touchwiz, i reset the phone and then put nova back on as my Launcher, things seem to work fine now..
I am on jivy's ICScrewed 2.1 ROM running Siyah's last GB kernel. From time to time, my phone will suddenly become unable to receive text messages. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891427. I do believe it's the same issue, but I was wondering if anyone knows the cause. I have been using this ROM for a while now, and this never happened. Only a couple months ago did this start occuring. Then lately, it's been happening more frequently. Instead of having to wipe and recover maybe once every 3 months, it's been turning into every month, then every 2 weeks, and twice within one week this week. It's just a pain in the ass to have to keep doing this. I'm not sure if it's the ROM itself. If it was, then wouldn't I have been experiencing this when I first started using the ROM? If anyone has a (permanent) fix for this, I'd appreciate it. I hate waking up to no texts. Makes me feel lonely.

I've been having the same problem intermittently. I had it today and 2 days ago. The temporary fix is to take the SIM card out of my phone and put it in my old BB Bold 9700 to get the missed texts then put the SIM back into my SGS2. Then the texting works again. But the problem eventually comes back. It's not a ROM problem. I'm rooted and using a Gingerbread ROM. I don't know what causes this. I've tried wiping the Dalvik cache and deleteing old text messages and this didn't seem to work. The SIM switching seems to be the only trick. I haven't called ATT. (They are usually in denial when there is some kind of issue on their end.)
If you find a solution then please post it!!!
I have had the same problem. Running the same ROM for a long problem then recently (~last 2 months) it started happening. I was running Sashir's Aberration ROM but it was the old (pre Dec. 2012) version.
One time I contacted at&t and they said my sim was an old outdated version so they gave me a new one which fixed the problem... for a couple weeks. I may go several days receiving no texts (send works fine) then all the sudden I get them all in one batch. After that it will receive texts fine until it eventually happens again.
I just flashed the new Aberration and hopefully it stops happening.

I just installed Cm10.1 on my Razr, it was working fine. much better then my stock rom. I get better service, my texting app isnt broken and its all around a lot faster too. The only problem i have experienced is the intermittent capacity of my phone to send and/or receive picture messages. Earlier today my girlfriend sent me a picture. It wasnt until i had rebooted my phone 2 times and wiped cache did i finally get the messages. I dont know if it was a fluke that it happened like that or not, but its kind of inconvenient.
Afterwards i tried to send a picture back, it was pretty much just a random picture of where i was standing at the time, nothing important, but it did not want to send. No matter what I did it would not send. I wound up checking back at it about 20 mins later and it said that it sent and it actually did.
Is anyone else experiencing this phenomenon and how do i fix it? or is it just something that im going to hope is fixed with a new update soon?

post this in the development thread of cm 10 and somebody will respond to you if they have experienced it already or with a solution if its been updated.
Hi guys, long time X2 user here. I have recently been having text messaging problems in which every now and then a text I send will look like it went through fine on my phone, but the recipient never receives it. Or, sometimes a text will not go through as mentioned above but then if I send another text an hour or two later to the same person, she gets both texts at the same time!!! Even though they were sent hours or even days apart.
It is incredibly frustrating, and texting is one of the few things that I NEED my phone to do. I'm booting up an older Driod 3 to use for now, but has anyone had a problem like this? Or does anyone know how to fix it? I've sbf-ed twice, been on stock, CM7, and Eclipse but the problem persists on all of them. Thanks

cm9 is one of the only roms that hasnt done this to me. about time for a new phone i say. x2 has been hell.
if i hadnt seen that most android phones ran MUCH better than this one, i would probably move on to another OS entirely.
i now know that paying a little bit out of pocket at upgrade time will save you HOURS and SOOO MANY headaches down the road. s4 here i come !
i honestly dont think there is a way around this issue. but i can also so that eclipse has never given me this problem. although it has plenty of its own problems as well.
are all of these texts to the same person? could it be them/their phone?
Nah it's crazy. I know of 4 different phones it has done this with, 2 iphones and 2 other droids.
I'm pretty good with troubleshooting things, but I'm not really sure what else I can do for this other than an sbf LOL.
I need my phone to do two things, at the bare minimum: make calls and text. That's it haha. This might force me to put the old X2 out to pasture if I can't fix it; because I doubt Verizon will fix it, they'll probably just charge me for a pre-owned replacement.

it made me really mad a few years ago when my mother ran over her Voyager and they sent her a refurbished phone as a replacement. the first one they sent her even had a bad esn. she cried. i raged. and i havent payed for "insurance" since. i just get a good case as my "insurance"
i guess that delayed and sometimes mis-sent text is just something we have to live with in order to enjoy technology. i cant say that i have had this issue much, if at all. unless i was running cm7. sorry about your luck sir.
