I've looked everywhere and this seems to be a problem with a few android phones. When I reboot the phone (restart and close all apps), once it restarts it resends texts that i had sent from a time earlier. The only way I'm able to make it stop sending is to use a task killer after it starts sending. I did transfer my SMS from my previous phone but I deleted all my old text and it's still resending texts made from my inspire. Also I'm using the stock messaging app. Any suggestions?

Is it just me this happens to or do others have this problem.
When I restore my data after a ROM flash using PPCPimBackup, the text messages in the 'threaded' view type are not ordered correctly for each contact. instead of being ordered by time and date, it puts all of their messages first and then puts all of my sent messages.
(the threaded messaging acts normal for any new text messages, its only the restored ones which this happens to)
did you restart the phone? in my experience it is needed after a restore.
working
Okay just flashed my ROM to v2.2 and this time when i did the restore its worked fine.
at first it didnt have any inbox threads then they started to appear after a restart, it sorted all the incoming messages into date order but this time it didnt show any of my sent texts in the threads. so after another restart and a 30min wait for it to put my sent texts into the right place its all sorted
i guess iv got a few too many texts for WM to handle!
For the past while, my Sprint Touch Pro has lagged and sometimes even locked up, when I bring up the text messaging tab after receiving an MMS message. I ignored it, as I really don't receive them that often. However, this last time I got one, and I was able to open it without my phone locking up. I viewed the picture, closed the sprint MMS app, and watched as the phone erased all 1800+ regular SMS text's before my eyes. I checked the deleted items folder, and only things I manually deleted are there, my sent items folder is still full, and all my old MMS messages still show up in the inbox. After coping with the fact that my years worth of texts was gone (Sprite Backup wasn't doing it's job right), I went on with my day. Turns out, whenever I get a couple texts, if I get an MMS, they're all erased. Or hidden. Or something else really annoying..
Anyone had a similar problem? I'm getting ready to install Arcsoft, but want to make sure my old texts aren't just locked up somewhere before I remove the default app.
xhorntail, the same issue is affecting a few of us using the NRG rom: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=69545&page=2217. Not sure what's causing it or how to make it stop though. MMS is built into this ROM so i cant even stop it.
Hey everyone,
I currently have an AT&T Captivate on the Telus network. I had to manually put in the APN setting and stuff. I have a problem with the SMS portion of the phone. If I send an SMS using the messaging app or handscent sms it shows the sms as sending even though it has been sent. And when I restart the phone it sends all of the text messages again. It is very annoying as sometimes it will resend about 30 texts to the same person. What is wrong with the phone?
I have the same problem sometimes with handscent. Usually it's only 1 or 2 tho

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go under 'Settings', 'Send Message Settings', and check the box for 'Prevent Resend'. This stops that problem with Handcent SMS.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA running Android 2.3
just tried, it would still send the message again after i restart the phone. any other ideas?
i have to delete the whole sms thread to make this not happen. Which is kind of annoying. So I am hoping someone has the same issue as me and has fixed it lol
Hi all, A co-worker has the Droid 2 and is about to receive her 3rd one in the mail tomorrow. The problem is that text messages are randomly cut-off or garbled to SOME people. I cannot seem to find anything to help her. The issue is not related to the size of the message (i.e. SMS converting to MMS) as it has occurred with one word texts as well as larger messages. Her D2 is stock. The recipients with issues have older (1 or 2 year old VZW phones. Guessing they are dumb or feature phones, but not sure). Here is what we've tried:
Example of a 1 word text: So I sent a text that said “busy?” and it came through to the recipient as “bus”
1. Turn off auto-correct in settings
2. Auto-Signature in settings is not checked (thought that might auto convert to MMS)
3. Switch to Handcent from stock messaging app. Same problem
4. Delete the contacts having trouble and then soft re-set the phone. Then add the contacts back in.
5. Replaced phone; same problem new phone.
6. Remove apps and replace one by one. Thought she had some luck with a camera app, but no go. The issue recurred without the camera app on the phone (have told her to check the camera apps settings to see if there is anything that could be adding pics to text messages without her knowledge. That would turn the message into an MMS. Long shot but worth a look.)
I feel like somehow all of her text messages are being converted to MMS but I cannot find any setting that would be causing this to occur. Cannot think of anything else. Anyone have any ideas?
I would try doing a factory reset without installing ANY extra apps, and see if it still happens. If it works, then slowly start installing apps until it starts again and you've found the issue. If it doesnt fix it at all, then I'd SBF and try as above. If still doesnt work then it's likely an issue with your carrier or maybe their carrier. (Person getting them)
Might be a slow work day, so I'm hoping I can get rid of some the little bugs that have been bothering me....
1. Sometimes I will receive the same text message multiple times, up to about 10 but it's usually only one or two duplicates. This can happen over a period of about 20 minutes.
2. Messages get delivered several hours later or only after a reboot. There is not usually any indication that the sms failed to deliver. I sent a text yesterday to my brother, and it seemed to go out fine with no error message. After rebooting my phone today, I shortly thereafter received a confused text asking what I was talking about. The text I thought I had sent yesterday now appeared in our conversation with a timestamp of when I restarted my phone.
3. The stock messaging app doesn't give me any notifications at all. Obviously, that's not acceptable, so I'm stuck using a 3rd party sms app (handcent). Don't know if this is related, but I use Google Voice for my voicemail and that also doesn't give me notifications (have my voicemails sent to my gmail account as a workaround on that). If I open the apps my voicemails and texts are there, just no notification from the phone.
I know at least the first two issues could be an issue with the carrier (at&t), but I had none of these problems with an iphone prior to switching or when using the mediocre AT&T Messages app on this phone.
I was hoping these problems would magically disappear after rooting and installing a new ROM (viperXL), but that hasn't been the case.
Thanks for any help!
