Duplicate text messages being received by people on AT&T Network - Thunderbolt General

I am having an issue where people on the AT&T network are telling me when I send txts they are receiving a significant portion of the messages twice. Is this a verizon issue or a phone issue?
I am running DAS Bamf remix 1.7.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Okay I just was told by someone on Verizon they are receiving duplicate txts as well. Any suggestions, I am using the default SMS msging app that comes with sense.

i've had it happen to people off and on over the years, so I would hope that its not a phone issue.

problem is today its happened a ton of times so I am getting concerned they had me pull my sim card which made no difference
Do you think I should unroot back to stock before calling again?

I reverted back to stock and havent had a issue yet, wonder why

yeah ive had this happen to me rarely, but i dont think its because of the phone, my theory is that its the network just doing it randomly, but thats just my thought

Even at 100% stock it still did it.
I am going to call them up again. I think its random too cause some days it doesnt happen I am being told by my friends.

did that to me the other day as well. Stock, not rooted thunderbolt. I think its a verizon problem.

Happens to me to like every too months.....

Anyone have this happen?

So a couple of times my phone won't let me make calls. It tries connect and then does a short beep. I have to do a airplane no airplane mode to get it.to make.calls again.

It happens to me couple times too ... too bad my 30 days return expired.. Planning to go through warranty center now ... It's kind of annoying because it happens kind of randomly
I have this same issue. They swapped the sim card so I'm going to see if that fixes the problem.
Is it a phone or network problem? On my third phone

I just got my sim swapped, and it still happens.. It looks like phone because my phone has full signals while it happens. It usually happens after long charge

I believe it's a software issue. HTC issued a statement regarding the WiFi issue, that until you get the OTA fix, you need to turn WiFi off and on again to deal with the bug. I haven't had the issue with phone calls that you're having, but I have had the phone drop the mobile data connection completely, or sometimes get locked to EDGE. The Airplane off/on trick fixes it, so I suspect it's similar to the WiFi bug.
If you can put up with it for now, it'll surely be fixed with an update before too long.
Good. Just wondering because everything else on this.phone is good. Ty

Lost all
I had problems at first just losing data and then finally after much time spent trying things with Rogers I lost all connection. Unable to make calls, no data, no signal. Got new one sent and so far so good for 5 days now.
Never lost data on this one bit had the no calls yesterday. None today. Maybe it will be ok. Someone said it.may be fixed. Just don't want to have to return the phone again.

Is a fix on its way?
I had this happen to me two days ago. The status bar indicated that I had a good connection and I was able to send and receive emails and use the web browser, but I couldn't send/receive texts or phone calls. After a restart, I had two voicemails and a few text messages (from an irritated wife!). I had been trying to make calls and send texts when she was calling and sending texts, so I wasn't just missing notifications.
Any word on whether this I a software or hardware problem? I still have some time before my 30 days is up and I tempted to go back to an iPhone if there is no fix.
I hope HTC releases an OTA soon...
This sounds like a network problem to me. In high traffic areas where cellular towers are overloaded , ATT service literally stops working. My entire trip to NYC I had no working service in Manhattan for this reason, and every professional sporting event I've ever been too the same problem has occured.
The "bars" were always good, but no texts or calls could be placed or received.
This happened on my a777, solstice, HTC aria, and Infuse
Seems like a reasonable explanation, except it has never happened before and was fixed as soon as I restarted the phone.
This happens to me EVERY time I am in an area with no (or really poor) service for an extended period of time, one of my classes doesn't get service because of the location of the building.. I've already gotten a sim swap and had my device swapped, it still does the exact same thing, only way to reconnect is by restarting the phone or turning airplane mode on or off. Hopefully it's not a widespread hardware issue and just a software issue that HTC can fix. Only problem is that AT&T has a history of taking FOREVER to get out an update that a manufacturer releases.
Oh and this never happened on my Xperia X10, even in the same class where I lose service.

Some calls not coming in and late texts

Had this in the wrong section so moved it.
Not sure what this issue could be. A lot of people say every so often that they call me back to back at times. I get no missed calls notifications. Same with text sometimes. Not sure if its ATT or what. Happens at home and when I'm out. Anyone else experience this?
I'm rooted, Rohans B5 kernel, clean flash to King Kang. This has been happening for awhile before this ROM. I'm on WiFi and the signal bar is full

I had a similar situation recently where I was receiving texts, but no one was receiving mine. Found out AT&T was in the process to switching LGE on for a number of towers in my area, so I think service was semi-disrupted during that time. Fyi, I was running CleanRom 5.0 with BeastMode 3.4 Kernel.

I just called today and they had to put a ticket in. They reset my connection to their towers so hopefully that's the fix

I think I responded to you in the other thread thought I would follow up. So ATT did the reset on their end issue came back in about a week they said they wanted to replace the SIM card, and if that doesn't do the trick they will replace the phone. Fortunately it is my wife's phone which I had already returned to stock over the issue.
I had the same thing at my house a while back. It happened off and on for a couple weeks, then never happened again. Think this was due to network repairs or upgrades, like the previous response suggested. If nothing has changed on your phone, and it was working fine before, than its a network issue.

No Calls on Wifi

Hey guys.....
I have an issue with a phone that maybe you all can help with.
This is my second phone doing the same thing the last one was doing.
(yes I've searched)
So occasionally while connected to wifi I dont receive any calls, texts, or emails until I pick up and use my phone for something.
Just now when I picked up my phone to check the weather at 6:30pm and I got 4 text messages, 1 VM and 2 emails all ranging back to around the last time I used my phone. (5:45ish)
This is really irritating as I have missed some important calls lately and it really pisses off my wife...lol...she assumes I'm gaming and ignoring her.
I remember reading somewhere that this phone has issues with going to sleep and Smart Sync.
Specs:
ATT
HTC One XL
ViperXL 2.4.1 (it does this on the stock rom as well)
ViperXL kernel
Thanks for any and all help!!!
I seem to have had similar issues except it was doing it off WiFi. They way I started noticing it was I set my weather to update every hour and I would find it would be 4 hours ago last udate. I also noticed texts coming out of order and calls going to vmail without ringing. I played around flashing different radios ,roms and even changed sim card multiple times. I came to the obvious conclusion that it was actually att issue. I live in a rural area where I get H+ but no LTE. I suspect that the tower cell fills up then puts active calls and data priority. I had atrix before my hox and it did same thing. Its really annoying. So I find myself rebooting phone and it solves issue at least for couple hours.

Im having the same issues. Started a thread about a month ago. Im on my second phone as well. Had AT&T reset something on their end, did an RUU, factory reset, wiped caches and data...nothing. I really believe it's an AT&T issue.

I don't think it's an issue with Att.
I just got a the email for this, it is an hour and a half late. I am connected to Wi-Fi and my phone is set to "smart sync".
If this was an ATT issue then why didn't I get my email?
The phone receiving emails while on Wi-Fi has nothing to do with ATT.

I also have the same problem. On Christmas I sent out a mass text to people and never got any responses. Then about 12hrs after I sent a message to someone else and got 100+ texts and 3 vms. It was ridiculous. I'm on ATT and running Nocturnal Dirty ROM. But it also did it on other ROMs. I would love to know what causes this problem and how to fix it...

MMS over WiFi?

I'm wondering if this is a problem across the board. Lately in have been running a few different ROMs. Hyperdrive, moar and the most recent moar 5.0.1. I have noticed that my MMS won't go through while I am on WiFi. I don't know if this has been a problem for a while and I haven't noticed it. I really like the app textra, and unjust started using it the other day. I thought that was the issue. Uninstalled it and I am still having the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm thinking it's a rom issue because I just wiped my phone and installed cyanogenmod and I can send and receive mms messages over wifi without any trouble
are u using a network extender by chance when your on WiFi?

I always thought it was a network thing. I thought they required you to send and receive MMS through the cell towers because they're stored at Verizon servers before being passed along to the recipient. I had the same issue on my LG Ally, haven't tried MMS over WiFi on my gs3, but now I'm curious.

No, I'm not using a network extender. Interesting thing tho. MMS will not go thru at all on MOAR or Hyperdrive. I flashed bonestock 3.1 and when I send an MMS over wifi, the 4G turns on (so now the wifi icon and 4G are on) and it will send the MMS.......hmmmmmm
MMS / SMS are both sent over data networks, as this is the only way VZW can count how many you send, thus being able to bill those who do not have unlimited text messages. (this came from a VZW rep when i called in to get a work order on my phone, as mine wouldn't work)
When the S3 first came out, there was an issue with the devices as a whole, fully stock and unrooted, having problems sending text messages when the phone was on WIFI. The process is, when you hit send, it will shut off your WIFI, switch to data, send message, and then switch back to WIFI without you noticing it.
however, in the beginning, there was an issue with the phone doing this. AND this was even before rooting the phone. VZW and Samsung had to do a fix for their radios to get the phone to work correctly.
so what you are probably seeing, is an issue with that switching, not that the message won't go over WIFI, cuz unless these DEVs have figured out how to make messages go over internet instead of data network, then the issue is a ROM issue with the switch.
hope that makes sense...

Unfortunately, this is the answer that is most often given, but not very helpful (no offense). I think the majority of people with the issue at this point understand that MMS is sent via data networks by design, the problem is, it is not functioning properly. It is NOT shutting off the WiFi, therefore it is not sending at all. I've had different periods of success, where it'll work for a week, then back to the same ****. I've never rooted my phone, so it's a stock ROM issue that still remains.
always had issues sending MMS messages on roms other than stock when I was at home with my network extender...I kept messing with the APN settings last night... I changed the other thing to GSM and tried to connect to at & t towers.. after it failed only then it would have multiple choices of APN settings ..I have all the roaming options checked and the LTE/CDMA is checked...I've been able to send MMS messages with no problem now.

Just an update I'm on liquid smooth 4.2.2 and it automatically turns network data on if I have it off in order to receive/send mms. This is what I was looking for.

Not receiving some texts... Sprint or GS5 problem?

So once in a while I won't receive some texts. Example: I was texting my GF last nite perfectly fine, but then this morning she texted me at 8am and I never got the text (not even right now). Also last nite my friend called me 3 times and I did not receive not ONE of those calls! He also texted me once and I did not get the text either. What could be the issue here, I'm very confused and starting to get annoyed because that's kind of a big issue/deal to not be receiving some texts/calls.
Does this sound like a faulty phone, or stupid Sprint? TIA!!

I think it might be a sprint problem as i have that same problem from time to time. Same thing happened to my s3 when i had it and sometimes i have the same problem on my S5. My friend called me last night to tell me he was outside my house and i didn't get the call or any missed call notification yet. definitely a Sprint problem.

I've seen a lot of dropped calls lately and 4 other sprint members I know have said the same thing.
I constantly get the same ****. Calls not comin through, text not comin or going sometimes. Its Definitely a sprint problem! I just had a note 3 before my gs5 that did the same exact stuff!

It's been worse lately I'm sure trying to get HD voice and some other upgrades working are prolly putting their network in disarray.
Try switching to 3G only mode. If that fixes it, it's Sprint.
Also if you have google voice enable on your phone, disable it for like a day as that is causing problems too that I know.

The same thing happened to me with the GS5. I think its the GS5. I went back to GS3 and I'm able to receive calls and text.
