Hey guys,
got a bone stock Epic with just a few apps on it, nothing crazy. I keep getting this pop-up error msg that says something like "Network connection failed" and it gives me the option to retry or cancel. Either selection does nothing that I can tell. Theres no rhyme or reason to when or why it happens. I just got off a phone call a minute ago and it popped up again. Probably happens to me about 5-6 times a day. I've got wi-fi, gps, 4g, and bluetooth turned off for battery life. The radio signal shows full service when i get the message and doesn't indicate anything is wrong.
Anyone have this happen?
I'm also having a problem with e-mails not refreshing the inbox on the phone and notifying me i have a new e-mail until i go into the e-mail folder and check it myself. Possibly related?
Hoping froyo will fix this, but I'm hesitant to root the phone if I'm gonna have to take it back to Sprint for service.
For me I get this message in youtube sometimes. Not sured why it happens. It happened in the market only a few times but happened in youtube slightly more. Annoying of course
so its possibly being cause by an app i added? I only installed a handful of apps. I'm tempted to uninstall them one by one until i figure out what the cause is.

I'm highly doubting it has to do with an app as my husband gets it all the time too. I'm seeing quite a few network problems with the Epic right now. Errors, GPS taking forever or not at all, and reception sucks. Hoping a new radio is all we'll really need, but I'm not positive that's going to be a cure. Maybe someone else who knows the tech side of this a bit better can jump in here.
I'm thinking it might have something to do with Sprint (in my case) as the board is filling up with posts that not only us, but EVO users are experiencing this. I personally haven't on my HTC Hero though.

Hmm. I've been on various XT720 ROMs over the past while so I can't say this happened on a specific ROM. Anyways, I've had now 3 people in the last month make me aware that I had sent them random texts (which were actually texts that I had sent earlier on in the day or previous day). All three times this happened was right after I turned on my phone. (It could have happened more than 3 times but I only am aware of 3). Anyone have any ideas what the issue is? Some error with my phone, or an issue with the network perhaps? Or something else? These texts aren't costing me anything extra but I'd still like to get an idea what exactly is happening.
Thanks
Not something I have experienced, I am using khalpowers galaxy V4, and have used several Dexter versions, using both standard messaging app and GoSMS. Some sms-apps have been known to duplicate messages, what are you using? If it's not the app messing up, best bet is network.

Using stock.
I saw a different thread where someone seemed to have a similar issue - being caused by a message pending but not actually going through at the time it was sent and therefore when the phone was turned on it would detect an unsent message and send it through. Said to turn on delivery reports and then he would see if message actually went through. I'll try that since there's no downside.
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.

Hey again, I'm posting here again because my mother is having more confusing issues with her (Stock Unrooted) S3, and I'm not having the same issues (Rooted S3). She has the Pearl Blue and I have the White, but I don't think that means anything... The issues she is having are:
- Some "echoing" in the call. Whenever someone calls her, they hear echoing whenever she talks. I've witnessed it too, and it happens whether it is just headset, speakerphone, or bluetooth. Ironically it is somewhat less with the bluetooth speaker. I was wondering what could have caused that.
-Issues sending MMS- My mother's friend really enjoys sending group MMS messages to my mother and a mutual friend. My mom though is having issues sending the MMS while she is connected to WiFi, and she has had to disconnect WiFi to send it out (she didn't realize it until this morning)...
-Issues with Car Bluetooth System- When my mom uses her car's bluetooth system, it has some very weird sounds. Everything is garbled and nothing can be understood. I did a search and someone described his as "Something from a B-Rate Alien Movie". I was wondering if anyone's had a fix, or should we go in to Best Buy and see if there should be a replacement option?
It's worth mentioning I have never had any of these issues, but I didn't keep my phone stock long enough to fully test it out... I'm just wondering if anyone's had similar complications, and if they fixed it, or had to replace.
Echo and by I can't help with, but I do believe there may have been an outage or something with sending mms. I had issues last night and so did a few others. I dont know if it has been resolved or not.

I've also had issues with MMS, and bluetooth connections seem to be the wonkiest things in existence, so it may not be a persisting problem, a reboot (if you haven't already done that) may fix it.

What version of android is running on the phone.
Go to "System Settings > About Phone"
And let us know the build number, kernel version and any other pertinent information.
I started having problems with my stock rom so I decided to just start trying out AOSP roms.

She would have to have mobile data on as well to send when WIFI is on. Was mobile data on or off? MMS won't send through WIFI alone.

Samsung had a history of varying audio issues with their devices, starting with at least the Charge. i thought most kinks have gradually been worked out and i had not heard of many with the S3. did the echo happen while talking to one person in particular or did it happen with different callers?
have you or your mom succesfully connected to another bluetooth device other than the car? did you have the same issue?
and wolfgrrl is correct. you need to have a mobile data signal in order to send or receive mms on vzw.
My phone is rooted and i have been randomly not receving messages that were sent to me. I've been gettin cursed out by some friends and family for not responding to them lol. But i never got some of the mesages they sent. Is it just happening to me or is anyone else going through the same?
Best thing you can do right now for the fix is install a new ROM. Better start from fresh install so your device works like new.
what @luisoriera said. i had this issue with the android messages app where it either would receive, or id be texting the wrong person. wiping app data should help. also check for network outages in your area when this happens.
This happens to my note 5 completely stock
it happens i think its a network problem not a hardware my previous phone would do the same thing before my note 5
