I can send MMS just fine, but I cannot receive them from other networks. Upsetting.
im having these issues to but mine has not been rooted. I can receive pictures all day long fine, i just cant send them with any reliability. Restarting when it says "sending" doesnt work to force it send for me. I was in a 3g town yesterday and didnt have much problem sending pics, back in home town today on EDGE and having issues yet again.
Anyone got any thoughts?
I have had the same issue. I was even unable to send a picture through gmail as an attachment yesterday while in a 3g area. today i can send one through my corporate e-mail but still no mms. I have rooted and removed the att junk with ti backup. I dont think i removed anything that would effect mms though. I have also tried a factory reset. It deleted all my apps and settings but i did not have to reroot. It also did not return any of the att programs. Any help with this issue would be great.
had the same issue...could not send PIcs at ALL. took it back, got a replacement and it sent one fine.... then i tried again and didnt work. WTF?
I am an att manager and I have a captivate and have sold tons of others. I spoke with galaxy s support last week and they are going to call me back Monday to let me know if they have a fix yet. The tech said that he got it to work 2 out 10 times trying mms. As soon as i hear the fix i will post for all.

Good to hear we have an insider on board
I seem to be on the same boat, however:
Can't send pictures to my dad (AT&T, iphone)
Or my mom (ACS; local Alaska carrier)
But send em' just fine to my girlfriend(AT&T via LongLines Cellular towers)
Boy does that make sense
I had the same issue with sending MMS but was able to figure out a work around. It appears it is something related to the message size. If I crop an image, and the message size stays under 80kb, it will send with no issues. Not sure what the magic number is where it stops sending but will post once I figure it out.
Non-rooted Captivate, had a similar problem receiving MMS for the first week (purchased July 18th). Specifically, I could not receive MMS from Verizon customers unless they were using a Blackberry. Verizon customers using LG and Samsung phones, I got nothing. Verizon customers using a Blackberry, MMS would come through to me fine. SMS worked fine to and from all carriers and I could send MMS to friends on all carriers (and they would receive them properly, regardless of their device).
Tested with 3 different Verizon customers in 2 parts of the U.S. (cross-country), with Samsung Intensity and LG Envy phones on their end ... none of them could send me MMS. My screen would wake up as if something were coming in ... but nothing would ever come through. Very frustrating. Went to an AT&T store, duplicated the tests on their demo unit with the store manager's SIM installed.
The Fix (for my issue, YMMV):
AT&T's billing system was correctly showing my device as a Samsung Captivate, but their network provisioning system was showing the device field as blank (which apparently defaults the behavior to "non-smartphone," for what it's worth). The tech submitted a ticket to correct that, as apparently everything had to be in order before the network folks would take a look at the problem. Turned out that simply correcting that field fixed my MMS issue (since it registered my phone in the "smartphone" category). Note that I was told that correcting that field usually takes them 5-7 days, since it's not considered critical, but she pushed it through more quickly.
Customer Support
I have to include this bit here, because the customer support I received was amazing and far beyond what I expected. I understand that I may have had better luck than most. Got to a higher level tech with no fuss, and she immediately took ownership and had excellent communication, emailing me and following up with multiple phone calls to keep me in the loop with what she was doing. I've been thinking about switching carriers, but AT&T finally releasing the Captivate (even with the GPS issue, etc.), coupled with this tech's absolutely superb customer-focused support, will keep me here for awhile longer (and I'm definitely going to send her a glowing email saying just that, which I hope she forwards to her supervisor).
All my MMS works but 1 just showed up as a play symbol. It was a wide picture.

I know this is probably something that can't be fixed without working with T-Mobile, but they can't seem to figure out what the problem is and I'm getting desperate
Whenever someone sends me a text I get duplicates of it over and over until I turn on WiFi calling, which seems to work fine. I have had this problem with two different G2x (I sent the first one back thinking it was a hardware issue). This also does not happen on my Nexus One (I moved the SIM card back over and the issue disappears).
I am thinking it has to be something to do with the communication between the G2x and my T-Mobile cell network. Any information anyone has about this that could help me help T-Mobile find the issue would be great.
Thanks.
You don't have another messaging app installed, do you?
First thing I did when I got the replacement was sync Google contacts and tell someone to text me and it started happening. I factory reset the original one I had 3 times and the problem persisted.
Are you running juicedefender? I get duplicates of some messages because juicedefender shuts off mobile data, so the network doesn't receive the notification that the MMS was received. It will try and resend every 5 minutes for a specified number of times until the message is received.
Nope, had no apps installed. Plus I get the duplicates sometimes less than 1 minute apart.
Thanks for the responses so far. This problem is really starting to get irritating.
I was getting a lot of duplicates. Seems to have spied for now. No clue what was doing it
Its really irritating because I love the phone, but I can't use it if I am constantly getting spammed by duplicate text messages.
yea i got 55 texts from 12 am to 11 a m from the same person 2 different texts and it kept going for a couple hours after too idk why i just got a new one today though but it's got a bad bleed so im just returning it and going to wait a week or two hope they solve it by then already sent lg a pic so
If your problems anything like mine a replacement won't fix the problem, unless I somehow got stupendously unlucky.
Anyone figure this out. I have the same problem. It is not every text message and not every person. It is pretty random. The same person can send me 4 texts 2 are normal, one repeated twice and one 24 times over a period of time, usually a couple hours.
Check any of the apps/widgets that have anything to do with calls/texts, even just showing a number of unread texts. If there are any that have the permission "Your Messages: Send SMS-received broadcast" uninstall it and see if the problem persists. I think I may have had an app called Organizer Widget that was blocking my phone from sending that broadcast.
I had your problem.
I was running on stock G2X, and I was receiving text after text after text.
I spent time on the phone with the T-Mo reps, and he concluded that:
"it's a server problem. You see, our messaging database isn't reading that your phone got the text, and thus it re-sends it in hopes that it receives it."
Basically, he is saying that the messaging server is tripping. But, this is not exactly true, because if it was the messaging server, then it would be universal. It is simply a G2X stock-rom problem.
I think it actually might have something to do with the baseband, but I am not sure if CyanogenMod updates it or fixes it when flashing.
I have a fix.
After I flashed myself some CyanogenMod, the problem was instantly fixed.
So, I think its a problem with the stock rom. Definitely. The CM rom works perfectly, no repeating messages. Also, the current nightlies are mighty stable.
I have this issue as well. It doesn't happen often but when it does it sends 10 or more duplicates.
I have handcrafted sms and launcher products which displays the number of texts on the dock. Running rooted stock.
It hasn't happened in a while, so I doubt it is related to the Apps.

I've had this issue on ALLLL my android phones I've owned . Even non Android phones and my unlocked iPhone. I have tried different similar cards as well.
I have noticed it happens the most when I receive messages from a Verizon user; followed by AT&T users. I never (not that I've noticed) had duplicates from Sprint or other T-Mobile users. Only Verizon and AT&T.
My point being I think it's a T-Mobile issue. Or a communication issue between providers.

I'm actually having this problem running CM7 Nightly 63, it's irritating as hell.
Dont know, but I'd like to know the problem too. I have chompsms installed but it shows duplicate in the stock messaging app too.
I really don't think it has anything to do with the phone...
Like I said earlier, all my phones have done it. Even my crappy clamshell Samsung back in the day. Or my unlocked iPhone.
Server makes the best sense.

I have the issue as well...although it seems to be only with certain contacts, however across every carrier. Averages 3-4 duplicates. Never had this problem before with any phone. SIM card went straight from my N1 to my G2X. Kind of an old SIM. Maybe I'll try a re-provision on a new SIM to see if that makes any difference.
Thank you @shaneledford, uninstalling organizer widget solved my problem... everything's back to normal

I've also had this problem with previous phones, though it tends to happen much more often when one of them is an Android phone. Only started happening with my phone before this one, though, but that was a Nokia non Android, so it's a fairly recent thing but not Android specific.

Both my wife and I seem to be getting duplicate SMS texting errors on our SK4Gs. the same message will arrive sometimes DOZENS of times. It seems like the phone isn't sending the right signal to the T-Mobile server that the SMS Text Message has been received. (Thankfully I have an unlimited TXT plan.)
I troubleshooted with on-line Chat and they said to try SIM Card in another phone at a local T-Mobile store and if the problem still happens, it is a network problem, if not, it is a Phone problem. I did. No Duplicates.
Odd that when I send a text message to myself, there are no duplicates.
Store Rep said next step would be a MASTER RESET of the phone before they would do a warranty exchange.
Is anyone else having this issue. Any suggestions on any system tweaks that can be used to solve the issue?
Since the issue statrted, I upgraded to GeekSMS and still get the same problem.
Yes, is happens to me too. Its annoying but it doesn't happen to often.

Hey guys,
I have actually looked everywhere but none had the answers that worked for me.
My problem is that, if I get a text message, that same text message keeps showing up forever. My friend texted me this morning, and so far I got that same text message more than 80 times so far. I'm running CM7 RC1 for p999. Can anyone help?
This problem is really getting annoying and I'm getting frustrated.
hahahaha!!!!
sorry
if person who send it to u txt msg, was got no reception, or some another problem, and he press "SEND" button -20 times, when he gonna get reception it will be send same msg 20 times
i get multiples also here and there, mostly coming from a Blackberry phone though, could be a coincidence.

The thing is, my friend did not press send 20 times, I had cm7 nightly 49 installed when this problem started so i thought the problem was with the rom. So then i installed CM7 RC1 and the problem kept on continuing, i keep getting the same text non-stop.
I looked in other forums as well, there werent much help to be found.
Did you wipe? happened to me before on one of the nightlies. Are you using stock messaging ?

Yeah, i did a factory reset, and cleared dalvik cache before going into CM7 RC1. At first when it happened I was using Go SMS Pro, and I thought that was causing the problem... so then I uninstalled it and the problem continued.
I have the stock messaging app installed now and still have the problem.

I Called up tmobile, they told me a lot of people with the G2X are having the same problem and the only fix is to wait for the update LG is going to release...
I had this problem once before, received 150 copies of the same message, called T-Mobile, they told me it was a problem with the senders phone. Something about it not getting a "message received" message back from either my phone or the system. Told me to have the sender shut down and pull battery. When they rebooted their phone I didn't get the message anymore.

I called tmobile too, they told me plenty of other people have the same problem with the SAME phone (LG G2X). I would understand if I was getting multiple texts from one person, but I get multiples from anyone who texts me. I guess I'm going to have to wait for an update from LG.

Yes, sounds like a different origin for similar problems, I was only getting one message repeated, the others were arriving normally.
After looking around a bit more, a member of xda (shaneledford) figured that an app called organizer widget is causing the problem... its not just that app, its an app that has the same SMS permissions as organizer widget.
This applies to the g2x, I don't know about other phones though...

Duplicate messages are a carrier/tower problem, not a phone or ROM problem. I see this when my wife is in South Austin, every message she sends I get a duplicate; once she leaves that area, no longer a problem.

I never sent or received duplicate text messages with my last phone and I'm using the same carrier and towers.
Some SMS apps do this. Any ICS based one seems to have this bug. Uninstall any third party SMS apps you have and it should fix it.
If you try to send a message does it appear double as well?
Sent time/Date are normal?
Tried clearing cache of the specific sms app you are using?

Im having the same problem. Got a new SIM card, no luck. Tech support says that it is in fact the phone because it is not generating a read report.
Looks like HTC warranty will be receiving a call.
OK this my story i used an LG G2X Phone everything went well with my phone but some how when it was low signal on my area
i started having multiple sms from sender about 10 sms at the time
So i got fustrated that i search for this issue, and ended up with the solution
The solution for this multiple sms from sender is that you got play store and download GetRil and see if the rill match. if does said: RIL/BASEBAND DOES NOT MATCH. Then theres the problem.
Thats how i fix it, i know i came from different ROM.
I hope it help !
This happens randomly on my AT&T One X+. Stock messaging app. From searching I've found that this is happening on multiple devices and carriers. Is the stock app the only common denominator? Or is this happening on 3rd party apps as well?
alright fellas, I've been having the duplicate text issues for over a month. After talking to 6 different tech support agents and getting my htc one (m7) at&t replaced, the conclusion is that the phone isn't the actual problem. I have also been researching online and found no permanent solutions. However I did come out with a possible solution. It seems that I live in an area where the 4g lte and 4g signals interrupt each other. Therefore I found a way to disable the lte on the Htc One M7. I am not sure if this will work with other devices but give it a try!
SOLUTION
1) dial *#*#4636#*#*
2) go to Phone Information
3)Go down to the set preferred network type and change it to WCDMA preferred
go back to home and you're done!
I hope this works for most/all of you because I found it extremely frustrating. It kind of sucks that we cant use the full capabilities of the device due to the lte problems but it's a fix that isn't bothering me atm.
OK well after the newest update I could not send MMS messages. I spent hours and hours testing apn's and all that. No use and really pissed me off. I had an idea what if I just tried another messenger. So I downloaded three. The one I believed to work is 8 SMS messaging from app store its free. I might be wrong but for two weeks now it has not worked and I now can send. Still get the right apn's but this I believe really helped. Screw garbage T-Mobile and bring own device. Really I do understand they cannot be held responsible. I hope this helps.I love this phone but its capability with T-Mobile not great. If it does not work let me know. Also make sure you go into setting for the app and it may shut down or display a prompt but it still worked for me and cannot send through original message app.

I would appreciate it if anyone with the same problem would try this and let me know if it helps them. I don't like the messenger as much as the original,but if I am now able to send messages I am happy. Still I do not believe its an APN setting that is messing this up. Please comment. If it does work spread the word.
