I've got an AT&T One X and my friends are saying it's sending SMS messages to them twice. Is there a fix for this? Is there any way to use the stock ICS messaging app?
I had this issue as well. Are you using the new lte sim card that came with the phone? I was just using my old micro sim and manually added my apn settings which resulted in double texts and texts not received. Also weak signal could be a contributing factor. Lastly, do you use the stock messaging app? I use go SMS and still had that problem. Resolved by activating the new sim with the stock apn settings.

personally i haven't anyone having this issue beside you...
however I remember this is one of the 4.0.3 problem...that happened with galaxy s2 on on some of their rom...
try to reflush the RUU...
I'm using a new SIM.
I'm also sending double texts most of the time. I'm using a Rogers HTC one X, with a virgin mobile sim card (unlocked phone)
I'm using the stock rom as well.
I keep getting duplicate messages from friends sometimes get 3 of the same messages with the same time stamp.

Up... anyone else find a solution?
double texts
Same here. Rogers HTC one X on virgin mobile (with new virgin mobile SIM)
I tend to send less doubles by using the stock app instead of GO SMS
Who's using go sms? Maybe that's the problem

GO SMS
Yes, it appears that GO SMS is the culprit (for me...)
I switched to handcent and none of my friends have reported doubles (for now..)
I also tried Stock and pansi with the same results.
but for some reason, I can never connect to GO backup or handcent account from the device, it throws an "Other Error"
I'm running KingCobra v1.2 ROM

Can you explain what this means? I don't know much about APN settings.
EDIT: I did some googling, and I found a page that lists the Stock APN settings and I checked mine, and they are normal.
Go sms is the problem. I stopped using it last year in October when the galaxy s2 came out. Every now and then they release an update that causes it.

Posted in Networking as that seemed more appropriate, but I couldn't find a delete button, so if a mod could take care of this..
Thank you!
The issue has been happening to me recently (as well as my girlfriend, also on Sprint) that we cannot send MMS messages.
My phone is an Epic 4g Touch on AOKP and rooted, hers is a Nexus S 4g running stock.
No idea what is causing the issue, but whenever we try to send an MMS to someone it just sits there saying "Sending..." until it possibly errors out.

Cricket is having similar issues and they roam on sprint. I wonder if sprint also uses cricket towers.

Some roms there stock sms/mms sucks and you can't send pictures or receive them. You have.to use another messenger like go sms is perfect. I'm using chomp sms, handscent...try one of those & report back

So my sister in law just got this phone and picture messaging doesn't seem to want to work except on WiFi? Is a factory reset necessity.
So says Latinmaxima, so it shall be done!
Sprint 3g is slow so it my seem like it doesnt work

OK, there is an issue with select Motorola Photon Q's where the MMS function doesn't work on the stock messaging application. I actually had mine replaced over the issue, as I was unable to send or receive MMS. This should not be an issue with the network. From my understanding, Sprint is aware of the issue, as the store I bought my phone at called them to try to fix the issue. So, an OTA should come out with the fix.
Now, there is a workaround that has worked for me. Use another messaging app, such as Go SMS Pro, and MMS will work.

So glad I found this thread..On my third Photon Q in three days. First had a defective vibrate motor..the second would not send or receive MMS unless using WiFi so they replaced it. Third one is doing the same thing. Just installed Handcent SMS and its working perfect using the 3G. Maybe someone should forward this to Sprint? I after two hours wasted with tech support and several tickets created, I am thrilled with the phone now. I love everything about it except the MMS not working. Thanks guy!!
There has been a fix for this issue as per the Sprint discussion board. I have verified it has fixed my MMS problem. You will need your MSL to change a setting, if you dont have it you need to call sprint or use another method to obtain it. It appears some data profile usernames were borked during provisioning
Steps to follow:
1. Open your dial pad and dial ##3282#
2. Tap on Data Profile
3. Look at your username, mine ended in ".comom"
4. If yours is obviously wrong (like mine), fix it, save it and then reboot phone.
5. good to go.
Yepe... Mine says .compcs.com... Gonna have to call Sprint.
Thanks for this.

What should the user name be? Mine ends in sprintpcs.comcs.com. I assume that is wrong and it should be sprintpcs.com?

Is it just my imagination, or does this seem to be more of an issue when receiving an MMS from an iphone?

Seriously.. I haven't been able to receive one with my One X.. At least not on a custom ROM.
How can I fix this, it's very annoying. can't send or receive

It doesn't work on any ROM. I don't even know if it worked when I was stock/unrooted..
Maybe AT&T did something when they upgraded my 3G to 4G LTE..?
MMS requires a data connection. Even when on wifi, it will engage your cellular data connection. If you disable mobile data they won't send or receive. Also check your APN settings, there are settings specific for the MMS routing.
Everything above the screen shot should be blank.
If that doesn't fix it, give AT&T a call.

Is it only that person, can you send one to yourself?
If that won't send or download I would call att and have them check.

Can't send to anyone, Can't receive from anyone.
Call AT&T, they can reset your phone....had to do this last night.
They will ask you to shut it off and then power it up, they will get it registered again on the mobile network.
Be sure to call technical support not customer support.
Good Luck!
Check within the Messaging app (or 3rd party messaging app, if you are using one) that the MMS size is set low enough. On ViperXL, mine had to be set to 300 kb in order to send a picture. I think AT&T's network limit is 600 kB. Custom ROMs sometimes have the limit set much higher, and a pic simply won't go if its set over AT&T's limit.
But this would only explain why pics can't be sent. They should still be received ok.
Hello. I've searched and no luck. I think it's only from iphone to my g3 but I get a blank image when an mms is received. It's annoying lol. Can anyone help out with suggestions?
Did you used to have an iphone before your g3? If so try turning off iMessage in your old iphone and see if that fixes it

I don't think it did. It's weird cuz when I'm in a group message with iphone and android users, I am able to see the pic. But from an iphone user it's blank. I went on the Apple support website and unregistered a couple iPhones so I don't know if that worked or not. I'm currently waiting for an mms from a friend lol. Does rooting cuz an issue? I got my wife the same phone same day and she is able to receive mms but she isn't rooted.....
Edit. SO I got an mms from my friend. Not sure if my other friends iphone is through issue or not....

I used to have the exact same problem.... once I started using Google Hangouts it fixed everything.
I had the same problem when using my LG G2. But, I sometimes was not able to receive MMS's from Android AND iPhone users. It got very frustrating. I am always in full, or near full LTE, or on a stable WiFi connection. The only, temporary, solution was to use another messaging app. I tried a handful, got sick of that, so just used Hangouts as my default. That fixed the problem!... For a couple of weeks, then I would get the same "broken" image thumbnail where the picture or text that the MMS was supposed to be.
Now that I'm on my G3, I noticed this problem was even more serious. Still in the AT&T store, I received an MMS, and was not able to download it. They exchanged it with another G3. Got home, same problem. It's a complete hit or miss, being sent to me from and Android or iPhone, I receive about 80% of the incoming MMS's, and the rest I will ask the person to send it to my email, or use whatsapp if that's an available option.
I have called and emailed about the problem and I've only gotten the responses that you think a "technical level 2" employee would give.
Waaaaaaaahhhhh. :crying::crying:
I had this same thing happen from an iPhone user (she was probably using verizon). My wife's iphone sent me an image a few minutes later and it worked fine. She is on ATT. So i wonder if it's a network problem.

Saw this on another thread and thought i would toss it here, it basically says that sometimes Ad block can mess with some MMS possibly. Just tryinig to put all the information in one place...
Apple has admitted to delaying messages between Android and I phones in the past so it could be doing it again ("accidentally")
