Anyone else experiencing receiving multiple Sms messages. If so does anyone know how to fix it?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Yes I have the same problem. Don't know the solution though. I got 5 of one sms and 3 of another today. Very annoying.

Is this happening from all contacts, or just a select few? If a select few, check to see if the messages coming from are from one carrier. I've had this happen to me a few times on another phone. The issue was from the other carrier, not much you can do anything about except report the issue to customer service. If you are on limited texting plan at least, otherwise ignore it.
It's from multiple carriers for me.

This has been happening to me a lot also. I have tried to do pretty much everything, but nothing has worked. I tried handcent's option to replace the stock messaging system, which only lead to me not receiving about 50% of texts. Hopefully someone has a fix for this? It's very annoying
i can't sent and receive mms since i write the number, who can resolve it?

Sorry bud, I can't parse your message here.
Yup same problem.. duplicate messages even with the stock app..
Call Verizon just for the purpose of them getting the message.
It's annoying when you get 6 messages.. I wonder if it's counting as multiple txt on the bill..

i would like to hope its doubtful that its costing extra as its mostly a problem of the phone pulling the messages multiple times, basically not ticking the "received" box on the server side of things. afterall, it is easier to count them as they pass through the network versus your phone counting and reporting back, not very efficient... mines kicked up again recently.. and yes rather annoying...
I noticed this too but it only happened after I used ATK more aggressively. I rebooted my phone and the messages stopped coming in repeatedly. Seems to have gone away now that I'm rooted. Hope that helps someone out there.

reboot, dial *228 (on Verizon) goes through the phone activation, problem solved.
Vzw tech said it could be the towers, or the phone... the only thing he was really sure about was that this fixed it.

Which option...1 or 2? I would assume #2.
I have done this FYI, it did not fix it.
Option 1 seemed to work for me.

Multi services?
Ok i intermitently have this same problem but noticed something interesting that may be related? I downloaded a startup manager program to see what was starting up on reboot yesterday and noticed there are 3 text message services running? Im assuming this may be the cause of multiple messages recieved so I have disabled 2 of the 3 instances and was still able to recieve sms but not sure if this will fix the issue or not
If you look that is the text msg app listening to different events, not 3 copies of it loading.
Is there any way to find the location of my phone? It was stolen and I just a dumb ass changed my gmail password right away so the person who stole it couldnt access my email.
Is there any way to track it now since google cant be synced with it??
I didnt install any tracking apps on my phone.......I am running 5.0 Inject Th3ry
Thanks guys I appreciate your help!
did you register for a sense account?
sense online does not work with the thunderbolt yet...
I thought lookout had a way to push the app to your phone to track it?
If you signed up for Verizon's TEC insurance via Asurion, I believe you get a phone finder service with that. Don't know how accurate it is though. www.phoneclaim.com Best of luck!

If all else fails. Call verizon, tell them it's lost. Call back every day to see if they placed any phone calls. If they did, call the numbers they called. Verizon can provide you with that info. Disadvantage of that, is they can use your phone to buy things or make expensive calls. But if you keep an eye on verizon's history, you should be able to control that if it gets out of hand.
One time my phone was stolen and I was able to find the guy that stole it because his dad was one of his recent calls. Turns out papa was very disappointed haha! I got my phone back and he got a beating.
Go to the android market on you pc and install Lookout Plan B on you lost phone. It will track it.

Umm, yes it does. If your running a ROM with it and your signed into HTC Sense. There is an option under the Location settings called Phone finder.
If it is checked you can go to www.htcsense.com, sign in and it will track your phone. I just tried before posting this to make sure.
That sucks but you hopefully had phone finder on

You can't change a Gmail password with a phone. You have to know the old password to change and it has to be done online. They probably factory reset the phone so u won't be able to track it anyway

I think the OP stated he changed the password himself which would then make Plan B no good since it cannot access the market

Why don't you change your Google Account password back to what it was previously, then install Plan B from the market website. It will push to your phone so long as it's still trying to sync.

that's weird because when I try to sign up, the thunderbolt is not a choice when choosing your device.

Because stock, it isn't. But, for example, BAMF 3.0 rc4.9 uses it. And it works with the site.

There's a hacked .apk here that will work on stock ROMs (might have to be rooted). You sign up with your device set as a Desire HD. I'm running it on my stock OTA MR2 rooted ROM.

I flashed a custom ROM and after deciding I didn't like it I restored a factory stock ROM and every since all hell broke loose.
At first I had no connection of any kind whatsoever no matter what ROM or modem I flashed.
Then I dialed ##72786# and it seemed to have restored all connections.
Went to bed.
Woke up with only 3g working and nothing else. No calls and no sms.
Flashed a bunch of ROMS again including factory stock and no dice.
Spent 3 hours with Sprint Customer Service and they could not figure out why my phone cannot make calls or send sms. Kept activating and programming my phone with zero result
When making calls I would get "error 16" and the "your account could not be validated"
Please help! I am ready to sell this phone because I don't know what else to do.
Have you take it to sprint store?

I heard people having problems restoring a NANdroid from CM9. What version of CWM did you have? You tried a full odin restore? If so, try a return to stock odin restore with clear /esn checked in odin and see if that fixes it.
Update profile?

I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

The only things I can think of is, have you got another messaging app messing things up, or in the messaging settings there's a spam settings, have you checked that?
Sorry if you have already checked these
Checked it and its off. I don't have or use anything but the stock SMS app.

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.

When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.

I have T-Mobile and my group messaging is not working.. No matter if i use the stock app or Google hangouts..
The actual option is missing in Google hangouts under settings,sms, and then right under advanced settings it should show something like Group messaging or something..
I called samsung and they said it was the carrier and then i called tmobile and they said to come into the store to trade it out for a different one.
Can anyone with Tmobile send group messages with their GS5?
Thanks
I've been using it all day, I wonder why it's not there for you or working for you

I figured it out.. It was the SIM card from T-mobile..
I went into the corp store and they gave me a new phone, that didnt fix it.
I asked if we could try a new SIM.. the guy was saying that wasnt the issue. I insisted.. After activating the new sim and rebooting the phone, it was fixed.. Weird huh.
