I am randomly getting and sending duplicate text messages. Anyone experiencing the same?
Yup. When I'm in the subway and reception comes back I get duplicate texts and the person I'm sending texts to also gets duplicate texts. It probably something with the system.

Me too. Seems to be an intermittent problem in my area: northern Colorado.
It's been happening to me regardless of how good or bad my signal is.

I know that when I send a Live Message it fails the first time (on receiving note 8) because it's too large. then it downloads a second one which is under 1MB.

Lately it's been pretty bad. Sometimes I receive the same message 5 times. It happens with mms as well. I've spoken with T-Mobile techs and there is an open ticket with T-Mobile engineering to see if it's an issue with the Note 8. Let's see how far this goes.

I'm receiving double text messages now on a lot of my text messages I receive. It doesn't seem to matter who the text message is from. It's happened after I upgraded the Radio, DCD ROM, and Bootloader to the latest versions below. I don't know if that's what caused it or if there is something wrong with the Verizon Service and I should call Verizon. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you!

It is definitely on their end...happens on Sprint to randomly....wont do a lot to call though as they don't have a clue as to why it happens,,,,,you will get the run around...."everything is fine on our end",,,lol
I know i have had this happen to me on alltel a couple times normally give it a couple days and the issue resolves itself no real point in calling CS they will just walk you through a bunch of stuff that have nothing to do with the issue
Are you using HTC home, by any chance? I've had this issue quite a few times before. I haven't had any dupe text messages after I uninstalled HTC Home - Just a thought.
No, but I'm using HTC Homeplug 1.12.0.0, but it was installed via the Kitchen, so I don't think it can be uninstalled. I guess I'll wait a week or so and if it keeps happening I'll contact Verizon if it does. Thanks.

It's still happening but not as often as it was doing it. I complained to them a while ago about getting email notifications as a SMS everytime I got a new hotmail email message. I wonder if they did something while they were working on this complaint. The SMS was from OZMail wish is a Verizon applicaton for email that I used, but stopped using. Well, I guess I will call them and see what they say.
I get the same exact text usually within about 5 minutes after I get the first one. It's not all from the same people and they have different carriers. It's also completely random, sometimes on wifi and sometimes not. I suppose that people could be messing with me, but I'm not big on conspiracy theories. I'm using the stock messaging app. Any idea what is going on? Any fixes?
Edit: The duplicate messages show the same time as the original as well, even though they show up like a new message like 5 minutes later. Wtf
also have the same issue sometimes it more than five mins couldn't bother getting duplicate text messages.also i figured my wife wouldn't be sending me duplicate messages and when i checked her phone she had only sent it once. so just decided to download a anti-sms bomber app and has been doing the job for me
its sprints network.
Ya never had a problem until I got the evo 4g lte. I get the same messages about 50x and it last for up to 4 days. I am still getting text from my mom and she sent that Monday morning. What is really weird is it only happens with text from my wife and mom, it doesn't happen with any of the other 200 contacts I text.
Today I just noticed when I used Google voice for incoming and out going text. I got all my text messages, as well as all my messages were sent. However, when Google voice received a text, the stock text messenger still has yet to receive the same text..... WTF

That's because Google Voice uses data (3G, 4G or WiFi) and it's usually a push service so you receive it right away considering no problems with your data connection. Text messages, MMS and voice calls don't come in through the data band but instead through the voice band. So if Sprint's network is congested or it was a bad activation by the Sprint rep you'll get things late.
I recommend everyone to reprovision their phones, I had this issue with mine the first couple of days, resprovisioned it, and no issues at all since.

Ive noticed that when sending certain sms messages, the messages will keep spooling and not send unless I delete and resend it. Seems to happen at random times, even with no signal it should still send when it gets a signal right ? Using the Handcent SMS
Same thing happens to me.
I had the exact same issue. I stopped using Handcent and the issue went away. I've never had this issue on any of my last 5 android devices. Really frustrating since I have used handcent as long as I can remember.
+1 - Yep, me too! Even using GVoice + Sprint integration, too!
Also, if I restart my phone all the texts will magically send. Anyone else find this to be the case?
I also noticed that I can't get voice to text to work. I speak, select the line that reflects what I said....and then nothing. It doesn't paste it in. Any one else?

My speech to text didn't work when using swiftkey. I switched to stock keyboard. Speech to text is amazing

I'm having the same problem. texts i sent after and before the unsent ones send fine. using go SMS pro
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
i have this same issue with handcent as well
I used to always have issues with handcent. When I had the Hero none of the MMS would send. So since then I have been using Go SMS Pro.
I am using Go Sms and I have the same issue. It seems if I am receiving a text at the same time, mine won't send and I have to delete it and start over. Also, when I send an MMS, it will create drafts of the same thing that I have to remove. My voice to text on swiftkey won't work either. I will have to try it out on stock.

I was having the same problem and what I thought was happening was the phone was closing Handcent (multitasking issue) before the text sent. I don't currently have my EVO LTE to prove that this is the case.

It's all network improvements boys and girls. If you been experiencing dropped calls, network busy tones, missed, super late, or texts being rejected; its due to nv work.

How can you be so sure? I started experiencing this the day I got this phone.
I have the same issues. Unfortunately, the only time I actually get text on time and/or send text reliably is when I use Google voice. I hate Google voices SMS setup, its ugly, and you can't send attachments. Its a shame we have this very cool phone, that can't do the basic cell phone operations. However, I do agree that this issue could very well be a Sprint signal issue and not the fault of HTC.
I'd also like to add, this is my second EVOLTE and both had this issue. Also both phones were and is having problems receiving calls. My missed calls don't even register, so once again, I have to rely on Google voice to let me know I missed a call via email, even after my phone never rang.

I can 100% guarantee you that this is not the reason for this btw....it may be in some places the reason but it is NOT the main reason this is happening...
I know for a FACT there has been 0 work on the towers in my area and seen this same thing happen...
Ok, so for me this is only an issue with third party messaging apps.
I have been using the stock app now and haven't had the issue once.
Go back to Handcent sms, boom! issues again.

I have the same issue. I had the same issue briefly a few weeks ago; however, now it's happening only on Sprint's network. If I check "Roam Only" on Meanrom I'm able to place calls, and send/receive text messages just fine. It started happening again when I used the LazyPanda s-off. I asked Sprint to do an HLR reset, and I still have the same problem. I've updated the profile 7 times now.
Whenever I send a text and I get a response, the response is showing above my original text. This happens if the text was sent in the same minute. Anyone else having this problem?
Picture in link below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/05e6hu02ydmugqw/export_02-1.jpg
I typed the blue first, then the reply came in white but it shows it coming before my initial text.
i had that problem before idk it just corrected itself but if its a big problem i would just use gosms its pretty good
It happens. I wouldn't be to concerned about since the times are so close together. I'm guessing time discrepancy with text servers. Maybe...
But to make you feel better, I've experienced it but usually within a minute if it's a quick reply.
are you messaging someone who has a iphone? This happens to me all the time with my friends and their iphone 4's
Yes I am messaging someone with an iPhone but it happens with non-iPhones too. I am worried about it because it is not supposed to be that way and when you pay a decent amount of money on a phone you expect that simple thing to work.
I'm curious if it has to do with the time. I found that for some reason my clock wasn't auto updating with the network. I have switched it over and will be testing here shortly.
It has everything to do with the phones local time - it uses your phone to stamp outgoing messages, and the network stamps the time on incoming messages. If your phone is running fast, then incoming messages would appear to arrive before the original message (to the phone anyway).
Enabling auto update of time / date should fix it, I was going to suggest that until I saw you were already planning on trying it
Had this happen once check your time and region settings. Mine was off by an hour

I've had this happen on my Captivate and my SII as well. Seems to be a network problem perhaps. If you're rooted, I highly recommend ClockSync. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.org.amip.ClockSync&hl=en

Hi,
I have T-Mobile. Using an HTC One.
I belong to several MMS groups, where both iPhones and Android phones are involved. For about 6 months, group MMS was perfectly fine, never had an issue.
For the past month, whenever I send a message to the group, I have a 5% success rate of the message actually being displayed properly for everyone. Everyone keeps telling me my messages are blank. Or it will send multiple blanks. I keep getting sh*t from all of my friends telling me T-Mobile sucks and whatnot. "Get an iPhone, get Verizon." Very frustrating hearing this every damn day. It's really starting to piss me off.
Regular SMS is fine. And any messages sent to the group I can see perfectly fine as well. But sending messages isn't working right! Group MMS is very flakey using the stock app! I don't understand what's going on. T-Mobile doesn't seem very helpful.
Is this happening to anyone else? How do we resolve this? Does anyone work for T-Mobile here? This is getting out of hand.
This is NOT the phone. I have wiped it so many times, tried so many different ROMs. It was perfectly fine and started working improperly out of nowhere. No changes, nothing.
I am not the only one!

Apparently it's affecting all T-Mobile users and not just our device. See here for more info:
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/57534?start=75&tstart=0
Same problem. This ALL started when I installed the new Hangouts and enabled SMS. Maybe it messed with something?
Anyway, here's something interesting i've found out.
I get a group MMS from multiple devices. When I send the group MMS, android phones "receive it" (on Tmobile/Att carriers), iPhones "reject it" (Tmobile/Att carriers), and WindowsPhones receive "blank" message. Weird.
I had a problem with picture messages. Checking the "delivery reports" under the mms settings makes this problem disappear for me. Try that!

WiFi calling shuts off the data radio which MMS needs to send messages. I've sent MMS while on WiFI and I will see my LTE signal turn on to send the message. Maybe WIFi calling completely kills the radio which won't allow a message to send.
