My wife's phone will send multiple duplicate text messages, on her phone it shows only one sent, but on my end (and other peoples) I will get 2-3 duplicate messages in a row, I thought it was just mine until I questioned her about it and she said everyone she sends text's to complains of it.... I told her to go to the verizon store so she did and they dont know why it is happening, she tried to do a factory reset and it seemed to fix it for a few days but it is happening again. Her phone is completely stock, I did no modifications at all to it, she tried different messaging apps and they all do it, I think it is something with the network but verizon says there is nothing they can do... Has anyone had this problem, or know what is causing it?
My wife's phone has occasionally done that too, but I don't know the cause or solution, and it only happens once every few months...maybe.
So she's on 35B?
My wife has this issue on her moto x, but it only occurs when she is at work which has horrible reception.
My phone has been doing this lately- I think it may be a reception thing where it keeps trying not knowing it succeeded. Drives me nuts.
My fiance's phone has been doing that for quite some time. We had to get to Verizon's tier 2 tech support and had them create a trouble ticket. They still haven't gotten back to new after 2 weeks.
Coincidentally she Got the notification for 46a, and since upgrading, we haven't had the issue. It's definitely a signal thing.

The past week with my touch pro I have been not receiving text or phone calls at night in my apartment. I had service, even EVDO. But people said it would just ring and go to voicemail. Then with SMS i wasn't getting them till i turned the phone on the next morning. Incidently I had the same problem with the original sprint touch recently.
Well today I removed the micro SD card and I have been recieving calls and SMS all night with no problems or any delay. Does anyone know why this would be? Or how I could fix it so I could get the phone to work properly WITH a SD card inserted.
SHould I hard reset?
THANK YOU!
Still not working after a hard rest and I tried all the fixs for Lock ups in sleep mode etc... any suggestions or related problems?
possibly a corrupt/faulty memory card. My ppc 6700 had similar issues with a bad memory card
This is a sprint problem!
I have had two phones that this has happened to me to. First I had a samsung m500. I was not receiving important calls (im on call with my job, plus I have a Wife im accountable to). On the callers end the phone would ring and go to voicemail, however on my end, i heard no ring and got the voicemail much later. text messages came through hours later, or i could force them through by making a call on my phone. this caused me to go over my limit on minutes, thus getting charged for overuse. Once i called sprint, i had asked if anyone else had similar problems that they knew of, they said they had never heard of this problem. (I guess i was a special case and as a result felt like they thought i was a liar) I was talked into buying another phone, which i did, i ended up getting a rzr v3 and things were fine for a while, and sure enough, it started happening again last week. I was frustrated and called sprint where they told me again they never heard of the problem i was having, now comes to find out that since i bought the new phone, i have to be on sprint an extra two years. Never again will i deal with SPRINT. Ill honor my contract, but thats it!
Only if sprint customer service would have improved in so many years, they have best network and worst customer service. I am subscriber for them for almost 4-5 years and get these issues very often.
Right now i'm using Touch Pro and i had tweaked my NAM setting to poll cell phone towers more often. Mine default was setup to 6 seconds, now i have it to 1 sec and looks like issue has gone.
Check or search on google on howto program your nam setting for your phone.
Rebooted my TBolt and when it started up it popped a big lock screen message about the SIM card not being recognized. Phone booted up rest of the way anyways, but kept popping that warning occasionally.
Rebooted again and it seems to have gone away.
Just curious if this is just a fluke or the sign of something worse to come.
Any one else seen this behavior?
Keep in mind, this is a VZW 4G sim that they installed 10 weeks ago and never had any problems with...no attempt to do anything like use some 3G AT&T SIM, etc, etc.
I noticed this behavior for the first time today, right after I rebooted as well. I immediately tried calling my Google Voice number (didn't want to try calling a friend) and it went through, so I'm not sure if the error message is valid or not.
considering this phone has some of the same insides as the hd7, that does not suprise me.
I get the error occasionally of no sim on my hd7 and reboot always makes it go away. Happened maybe 4-5 times since November.
Thanks for the replies. Only three one time so far, so probably nothing to worry about based on both your experiences.

Have you reactivated a 3g phone on your account? This voids the 4g sim.

I suddenly can't send or receive any text messages. I don't have a clue what caused it. Last night I installed the app wifikill and used it for a few minutes which did cause my phone to reboot and for some reason made it look for a profile update, firmware update and prl update. Everything else seems to be working, so I'm not sure what's going on. I already attempted to delete everything in my phone and restore from a nandroid backup before this happened, and the problem still persist. Any ideas of what could have caused this and how to fix it?
I don't know if it is related or not, but I've been having texting issues with the LTE as well. Sometimes they go through, sometimes they don't and I end up turning airplane mode on, then off after waiting 30 seconds.
I've also been having MAJOR delays in getting sent messages (some are coming in more than 2 hours after they were sent to me according to the time stamps on the incoming messages)
It is really driving me crazy (oh, and along with data crapping out as well with no rhyme or reason as to why and when).

+1 to this issue.
That's no really the same problem I'm having. I simply can't send or receive text messages at all. It just suddenly started happening with no warning, so I'm not sure what caused it or how to fix it. Please let me know if anyone else is having this problem. If I don't hear anything soon, I'm thinking about unrooting my phone and re-locking the bootloader and taking it to sprint to see if they can do anything with it.

I would run the ruu which will put you back to stock and see if the problem remains.

Sadly I already did that, and it still wasn't able to send or receive text messages. But here is the real kicker. Soon as I made a call to one of my friends who also knows a lot about phones to ask him if he had any suggestions, all the text messages that I made that wouldn't send all sent. By simply making a phone call, the phone must of connected with the sprint towers and made it start working. Super bizarre, but it's working again. So now I'm in the process up setting everything back up. Thank you Titanium Back up.
I'm currently experiencing modified version of your problem. I can't send text messages, but I can receive them. The only messages I can send are picture messages because they are looked upon as data.

Are you new to Sprint? Text messaging on Sprint has done this on several different devices for the past two years (since I joined Sprint). And when I make a phone call several tend to come through.
Oddly enough this doesn't happen in Utah when I go to visit, only Puerto Rico (where I live).
Try making a phone call and updating your prl within Sprint Zone. That fixed it for me.
I tried EVERYTHING to fix my phone. I rooted, unlocked and installed 2 different ROMS. None helped. I had to update my PRL every hour, and sometimes that didn't help either. I wiped everything, unrooted and relocked, ran RUU and went to Sprint. They replaced my phone. They are not allowed to work on these phones currently, so you'll either get a new one or a reconditioned one. Because I signed up for insurance, I got a new one.
I have not had any of the same issues since getting a new one. To me, it seems the issue is the PRL. It's showing that it's been updated, but it's not updating. There's a conflict between what Sprint sees on their side and your phone. But.. I'm not a Sprint tech, so I don't know.
All I know is I have a NEW phone and the problem is FIXED. For now anyways..

Actually know, I've been with Sprint close to 20 years now. I've always had a lot of different problems with them, but I've never had this particular problem before. But I'm glad I got it figured out, and everything is working again.
Helped a friend with this problem and it was too weird not to post to see if anyone else knew about it...
He has a note I rooted and loaded SGH-i717-UCLF6-FJMod-B5 on for him.
Yesterday we had an area wide network issue on AT&T, no data or edge only texting was borked. It lasted about an hour. Apparently his wife texts him like every five minutes and even more when he wasn't responding.
When service resumed he could send texts and send/receive MMS, but could not receive texts. He called AT&T support last night and they couldn't help him so next he went to the local store where they gave him a new sim card which didn't help. He said they told him it was a known Samsung device issue and one way to fix it was to put his sim in another phone and let the messages come through and then put it back in the note.
I have an old atrix laying around so we tried that first thing this morning and it worked.
My question is why?! Is this a legit Samsung device issue? I found a few posts around the web mentioning the same issue with no real answers.
Its a network maintenance issue. Some things just take a little time to clear up, including sending a huge backlog of SMS.
Yeah, but why would none of my other 20 at&t phone users experience this...and why would putting his sim in a different phone force it to start working.

Does anyone have an issue where SMS and MMS takes a long time to send and receive?
I tried different apps. Google Message, Hangouts, Stock messaging app, and VZW messaging app and all the same issue. Tried resetting the phone and it works for a little while but then takes a long time again. This happens on Wifi and LTE/3G. Also cleared app data and cache on all apps. Nothing works. Finally did a factory reset and just like a normal reset, works for a little while then back to the same issue. VZW says no issue on their ends and they even refreshed my signal. I also pulled the SIM card out for a minute and put it back in.
I am on 12B right now. I had Amplify Xposed module installed but I stopped it and uninstalled it. As of right now I only have Pandora patcher and youtube ad remover installed in Xposed.
How long are you talking here? Are you texting a phone next to you or in your house, or how do you know it is being delayed?

20mins to an hour delayed. I only know because I got a call saying we sent that an hour ago and your just getting that message now. So then I texted myself and it was delayed a good amount. It only has been happening the past week or so. No new apps except updating apps but now I have done a factory reset with no apps.

Wow, that seems like an awful long time. Since you did a factory reset and tested it, it doesn't sound like it is your device. Do you have other devices on VZW that are experiencing the same thing, or just yours?
As of right now, just mine.
When I called VZW they tried to reset something on their end and it didn't help either. I didn't think it was my phone but there is nothing else I can think of. The only thing that I did think off was Amplify but I uninstalled that and no luck. And once a while during a group chat, it would show the singly chat with that one contact and it will ask me to download it and it won't download. WIfi or LTE. I have 3-4 bars of LTE and going outside didn't help either.
I'd call support again and text back and forth with a tech so they can verify the issue if you haven't already. If you text with them and the issue occurs they are forced to fix it, as opposed to offering some ideas for a fix and ending the call. Seems like a provisioning problem on Verizon's end, or possibly a bad sim card.

Thanks. I will go to VZW and see what they say. All they had me do was go into safe mode and still didn't come though. What's weird is that it doesn't happen all the time but once in a while and when it's doing it, it stays an issue for a few hours then it's back to normal for a little bit.
FWIW, my son has been having very similar issues on his Galaxy S3 this week. So it may be a VZW issue. He's in the DC area.

Thanks. I was right outside of DC when I noticed these issues and it followed me when I came back home
