A lot of my friends that I am texting are saying they're receiving my texts multiple times. A few have gotten the same text as many as 6x from me before. Not that it bothers me really as I don't have to deal with it, I can only imagine how annoying it must be on the receiving end. Does anyone else have this issue and if so any recommendations on how to fix it? I called AT&T again and had them re-provision my account but that doesn't seem to work. It happens whenever I have good service and bad service.
Thanks.
Same here. Haven't found a solution, though.
huh, thought this was just me.
Really strange, happens whenever I reboot my phone.
Like I said in my OP, even though I don't have to deal with it.. the thought of knowing how annoying that must be to other people makes me not want this phone anymore lol. Hopefully there's a fix soon.
Yeah I've got the same problem..doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it sends two or three

I was on 1.73 and it was happening then, then I flashed to Clean ROM 2.5 and it's still happening. I also have two other friends with One X, one has 1.73 and the other is on Clean ROM also. The one on 1.73 DOESN'T have the SMS issue and the one who flashed theirs to the Clean ROM still does.. I can't seem to isolate the problem. This is very annoying though.
Have you tried 3rd party SMS apps (GO SMS, Chomp, Handcent) to see if the same happens with those? I remember on past versions of Sense, the HTC SMS app was often the culprit of bugs like this. Not exactly a solution, but its at least a workaround (if it works) to avoid annoying your friends.

chomp fixed it for me
Yep. I was having issues with Chomp early on, but an update cleared them up. Seems like the Chomp staff is the only one who have fixed this issue for our phone so far.
Try the free Chomp app and see if that fixes it for you.
+1 a few of my friends have said the same thing. It's only sometimes apparently

The only reason why I am not using Chomp is because I want Group MMS capability as I have friends that have iPhones so I can talk to them also.
IMO chomp is ugly.. Haha I'd rather annoy my friends then use an ugly rip off of the iPhone client

upppp... anyone found a fix yet? still getting the same issue... on clean rom 4.1 but I don't think the rom is the problem.
I know that in Handcent there is (or used to be at least) an option that you would have to check if your handset was sending multiple messages, or resending messages after a reboot. I would scour the settings to see if you can find something similar in your aftermarket messaging apps.

Ah okay I just installed it and saw that option, the thing is mine is sending multiple texts without being rebooted. I'll send one text and the receiver will get it more than 3 times on occasion and I can't figure out why. I called AT&T to have them re-provision my account and that didn't work

Hey guys,
Could someone please explain to me why the HOX is so inferior to the iPhone 4S as far as sending and recieving pictures via mms and email. I very rarely am able to actually recieve pics sent by text, and I have to send pictures individually over email versus 2,3 or even 4 pics per email on the iPhone. Video's are totally out of the question on the HOX. This is really the only complaint I have with the HTC. Is thee anything i can do, or are we just screwed?
I send and receive images all the time with no issues. Perhaps you're misplacing blame?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
It's not that hard to add another contact in the "To" line in the Gmail app.
And are you using a different SMS app? Maybe it's AT&T, I only get EDGE on my HOX cause I'm on T-mobile.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X
Yeah I've never had a problem with mms messages either, and I can also attach as many pictures to an email as I want. I think you've got something else going on because these definitely aren't HOX related issues.
He probably doesn't know how to use anything besides an iPhone, I just sent an email to 3 people without having to remake the same email.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X
I don't use the stock mail app, but gmail allows me to attach plenty of pics. My brother has a 4s, even he can't send large vids via email, we use YouTube for that.
Are you stock or rooted or ....can you be more specific?
No problems here bro. Stock messaging app and gmail work fine too... So does k-9 mail..
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Not receiving sms/mms probably has to do with the carrier and not the phone. I've never had any issues sending or receiving picture messages.
As far as sending multiple pictures per email, this isn't that hard either. Open gallery, press the share button and chose your method (example Gmail), then select the pictures you want to attach and hit next. Gmail will open with all the pictures attached and all you gotta do is enter email address (one or multiple).

Pretty easy to see how you got to 2,000+ posts. Do you ever add anything constructive?
Misplacing blame? What a bunch of over sensitive girls. I asked some simple questions and asked for advice. I have never been able to get a video to play from gmail on this phone. I am constantly having people ask me if I got the pictures they texted me. Several times today I tried to email 4 pictures at once. Every time it failed. Finally had to end them individually and they all went through. I'm on AT&T. Handcent SMS and the stock ICS email app.
Metalhead, you seem to be the only one mature enough to give a straight answer. What do you suggest I look at to fix these problems?
I have had the same problem with the mail app connected to exchange on wifi, it wouldn't let me send an email with pics. It might just be the stock rom causing issues.

Need some more information. Rooted? stock? rom? Handcent works fine for me, i'm rooted, can add multiple pics, it does resize them cos its an 8mp camera, i use the gmail mail app and can easily send to multiple recipients with multiple attachments. Dont use the ICS mail app, like gmail one better.
"Misplacing blame" was a fancy way of calling you an idiot. You didnt ask specific questions as much as you did complain and compare the one x to the iPhone.
Maybe if you weren't a retard, you'd be able to figure out how to use your device. Good luck, chief.

Oooook guys. Chill out .
OP, try a third party SMS/MMS application. Also, feel free to add more data as it may help everyone better understand your plight.

Coming from an iPhone, I definitely recommend the JB Messaging (formerly ICS Messaging) from the Google Play Store.
Pair this with SMS Popup and it is really great, especially compared to BiteSMS.

OP, your scenario is strange. I haven't had either of the issues that you are experiencing since I've had my HOX. MMS messages send and receive just fine for me and I have no problem sending multiple pictures via the Gmail app.
In the past I have had these issues on other phones, but it was usually due to AT&T network issues. Have you tried holding the power button down for ten seconds? This is supposed to simulate a battery pull. Beyond that, maybe a master reset?

Thanks for the heads up! JB Messaging is awesome.
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL on Rogers.
As far as the email issue, some more info would help. Is it gmail, exchange, hotmail, or what?
You have to remember that you're sending what can be large files, and you can end up with a size limitation there, which largely depends on your email provider and what they allow/tolerate.
As to the MMS issues, do try stock. 3rd party apps have been known to not always play nice on various devices, particularly brand new ones, and especially brand new ones running custom ROMs. So it could be that, or carrier issues, or the other party's carrier, etc.
Finally, before completely knocking the phone and pissing off people who a) like said phone and b) actually know a few things that can help, check the attitude and tone it down. Don't get pissed at the responses you get when you march in the door and, quite loudly, let your ignorance show.

Actually.... Some of the most insightful things I've heard have been from drunk people.
I haven't had the photo problem, the video issue was just that my files were too large, I toned down the quality and was fine.

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has had any MMS Issues since buying this phone. I've had several people ask me if I ever got the pictures they sent, and I just never got them. This happened on both stock and custom roms. Weird thing is, this morning I had my wife send me a test MMS and it worked. But later in the day, I didn't receive one again.
Thoughts?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I'll be tentatively getting my N5 on Monday (knock on wood), so if everything goes according to plan I'll test MMS right away and let you know.
I get them but I'm not always notified that a new message exists. Seems to be group MMS messages I'm not receiving notifications for. This is probably more of a Hangouts issue than a Sprint issue tho.
The problem is more unicorns exist in the world than sprint cell towers
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I'm on sprint and up until like 3 hours ago, my MMS was working great... But now for some reason, I can't send any but can still receive them no problem. It's pretty irritating. I haven't changed anything yet they just stopped working. Using textra (and have been since I got the phone two weeks ago)

Turn data on to receive mms. And I hope this thread will stop you from asking 100+ times in less than 24hrs in the same rom thread about same issue. Thanks.

If you're using Hangout, try 8SMS. It's a free app, a KitKat modified version of the CM messaging app. One cool feature (which Sprint supports) is that'll send MMS via Wi-Fi. They also have a thread in Android Apps here in XDA.

I'd consider it, but my MMS are back to working. That wi-fi MMS thing sounds awesome though... it's just- I've been waiting for SMS/MMS in hangouts for so long, I don't want to cheat on it!
Had my N5 for quite a while now and I have only ONE issue with it - Hangouts. It takes ages to load, sometimes as much as 5 seconds. Every single other app is fine, but Hangouts just infuriates me. Am I the only person with this problem?
I'm running Cataclysm and Franco atm, but this was exactly the same when my phone was completely stock. I'm on Dalvik as well, because I can't give up Xposed.
How many messages do you have? If you have several thousand messages, that might be causing the delay in loading
I have never seen any thread about this before so it must be isolated to you. Hangouts was superquick for me but I uninstalled it in favor of textra.
I have about 500 messages in there. I've dumped it now anyway, gone to the old Google Messaging app. There's nothing about Hangouts that I particularly like anyway, so getting rid was an easy decision.

If it's that important, have them email it to you. All SMSs are deleted as soon as they're read
I got 15,000+ messages. I use hangouts on a regular basis and I never experienced it loading for more than 1.5 seconds on any situation.
I encountered that on my old Nexus S. But this is a Nexus 5. I don't expect hiccups or lags on any app and so far it delivers.
This is my first HTC device and the first time on Verizon, coming from the nexus line. So far, of course loving the build quality! So, so, so good! But my question is very simple and just an annoyance, maybe there's nothing to fix this. Group messaging works perfect, nothing wrong with it, its just every time I click on the conversation it says converting to MMS, I don't care that its doing that, but the message that pops up every time is starting to annoy me... Is there any fix for this? Couldn't find anything in the settings

Not the Verizon one, but stock one that comes with HTC. I'm use to hangouts cause coming from nexus and I didn't mind that at all. Reason I'm not using the Verizon messaging app is cause the rep at Verizon was messing with my phone while the number was being ported and basically setting it up for me cause he has an m8, said he was saving me a few headaches

Hi there.
My partner has a S9 plus, and I have a S10, each time she messages someone with an Android, it works as if it's sending over data not SMS, meaning it's a different colour and has delivered and read below it. My phone has no such thing, and nothing in the settings, does anyone know how to activate this feature on my S10? I remember my S8 plus ages ago did the same a couple times. And no idea how or why it happened but I want it.
Thanks in advance.

Is she using the stock messages app?
Is she sending long texts? If so, long texts are sent as MMS instead of SMS, the same as images, video, audio and external links are sent as MMS, MMS uses data, not cellular(phone) signal.

RCS seems to be what it is, although it's strange my phone doesn't have that option, and my partners does. And hers is a 9 plus and mine is a 10. I'm not sure what's going on.
