Duplicate text messages

I am now all of a sudden getting double messages. I just flashed the 1.85 ruu yesterday. Now more often than not when I get a txt the message comes twice a usally at the same time. When I open the message app it looks like the person texting sent it twice.
How can I fix this

same problem but on original RUU with rogers & root. So I highly doubt its an 1.85 ruu thing

I have had this problem since getting the phone on launch.
I find though it duplicates more so from unknown senders than those on my contacts list

Duplicate messages are a carrier/tower problem, not a phone or ROM problem. I see this when my wife is in South Austin, every message she sends I get a duplicate; once she leaves that area, no longer a problem.

I never sent or received duplicate text messages with my last phone and I'm using the same carrier and towers.

Some SMS apps do this. Any ICS based one seems to have this bug. Uninstall any third party SMS apps you have and it should fix it.

If you try to send a message does it appear double as well?
Sent time/Date are normal?
Tried clearing cache of the specific sms app you are using?

I guess it wasn't just me. I've been receiving duplicate text messages every day on the One X. I never had a single duplicate text message on the same network for YEARS on my last phone (iPhone).

Im having the same problem. Got a new SIM card, no luck. Tech support says that it is in fact the phone because it is not generating a read report.
Looks like HTC warranty will be receiving a call.

OK this my story i used an LG G2X Phone everything went well with my phone but some how when it was low signal on my area
i started having multiple sms from sender about 10 sms at the time
So i got fustrated that i search for this issue, and ended up with the solution
The solution for this multiple sms from sender is that you got play store and download GetRil and see if the rill match. if does said: RIL/BASEBAND DOES NOT MATCH. Then theres the problem.
Thats how i fix it, i know i came from different ROM.
I hope it help !

This happens randomly on my AT&T One X+. Stock messaging app. From searching I've found that this is happening on multiple devices and carriers. Is the stock app the only common denominator? Or is this happening on 3rd party apps as well?

alright fellas, I've been having the duplicate text issues for over a month. After talking to 6 different tech support agents and getting my htc one (m7) at&t replaced, the conclusion is that the phone isn't the actual problem. I have also been researching online and found no permanent solutions. However I did come out with a possible solution. It seems that I live in an area where the 4g lte and 4g signals interrupt each other. Therefore I found a way to disable the lte on the Htc One M7. I am not sure if this will work with other devices but give it a try!
SOLUTION
1) dial *#*#4636#*#*
2) go to Phone Information
3)Go down to the set preferred network type and change it to WCDMA preferred
go back to home and you're done!
I hope this works for most/all of you because I found it extremely frustrating. It kind of sucks that we cant use the full capabilities of the device due to the lte problems but it's a fix that isn't bothering me atm.

Missing Calls?

I have noticed that some of my calls are not coming through. The past few days people have tried to call me, but said they got a busy signal. The phone never even rang. I also got an email today from a potential employer who said they called twice today... The phone was sitting on my desk right in front of me all day, and nothing. Is this happening to anyone else? What can be done to fix it? Im not in a place where im not getting service so I dont understand why its doing this?
Also, the other day I was having car issues and needed to call someone, when I went to call someone the phone showed the dialing screen, but never started to ring. I tried hanging up and redialing, but nothing worked. I had to shut down my phone and restart it. I can only imagine what would have happened if I really couldnt call out finally....
Really starting to hate this phone.

It sounds like a reception. Do you have good signal? What about Wi-Fi calling?
I have never had that and have had nothing but the sweetest reception, I do get dropped calls but that's T-mobile for ya.

All day I have between 3-4 bars of service, so im not sure what the problem is

Im also having trouble calling out. Ill dial the number, and the phone will beep and disconnect the cal. I have 3 out of 4 service bars....

Try replacing your sim card? Or if you're on stock then call T-Mobile might be a hardware issue.

Do you think switching to your rom might help? I want to try it but I'm waiting for the final version. I did have my sim replaced a few years ago by T-Mobile. I know they had to transfer all my stuff on to a new one. I have one laying around, is there anything I need to do to get it to work? Like switch my number to it?

You might want to try cleaning the metal contacts of your sim card with a pink eraser.

If you're on stock I think your best bet is to either get sim replaced before flashing cus if its a hardware issue then you will have to get it replaced.
As for the sim card if it's new then just call them and they'll activate it if it's used before then it won't work anymore and you'll have to buy one
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I called Tmobile a few weeks ago and had them activate a new sim card I had. Didnt have this issue until just today when I tried to make a call and got "call ended" everytime I tried to call out. What else could the problem be? Im running your rom now also...

Is anyone else having this issue? Its getting really annoying! I had to dial my friend 5 times before it actually went through.
Found this thread where it describes perfectly whats going on with my phone.. http://forum.xda-developers.chttp:/...editpost&p=29453252om/showthread.php?t=630652 Seems like Gingerbread phones are experiencing this more...

Never had this issue. As suggested you may have to replace the phone as it could be faulty hardware.

Yeah, I just didnt want to do the "call tmobile and sit on the phone with them for an hour to troubleshoot" crap... Ugh...

Called Tmobile and they ended up screwing my phone up even more with their "troubleshooting" Told me to do a factory reset, but since I have a custom ROM, it just screwed more up. Now I cant even swipe past the unlock screen and there is no reaction to my touch. At least its finally screwed up enough to get them to send out a replacement. Now im trying to revert back to complete stock so I can send this one back to them when my new one arrives. So I guess problem solved in a way..

[Q] Problem with calls

Ever since day one (start of August or so) I've been having a few problems with this phone. At first, I thought it was just the network or maybe the recipient's network. Then I realize it may very well be the Blaze itself.
The problem I'm facing is this...
Almost every time I try to make a phone call I can't hear anything. No dialing sound audio. No person on the other line... just nothing. The phone does go through, but I can't hear anything. I don't use any BlueTooth device. I have to wait several minutes or reboot my phone several times in order for the calls the work properly. This issues has been going on from GB (stock, no root) to ICS (stock, no root) until now that I'm flashing the phone to see if I can fix it (currently using PA's latest version as ROM). I thought the updated radio from ICS would fix it but to no avail. Goes to say, this issue happens to my father, too (same phone, got them for free when we started the contract).
This has caused an annoyance for both me and for friends.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any ideas as to why this happens?
IDK if this helps but I'm from Puerto Rico.

Tell you what, I have been having the same problem. Make sure you call tmobile and complain! They are telling me that this is not a known issue and there are no complaints on it. I had a detailed complaint filed. I sent my phone back, got another one and it is worse than the first with this issue! Another strange thing is that it will suddenly make doubles of my custom ringtones and one of the files doesn't work. It defaults to generic ringtone. Very glitchy. Sometimes, will still show that the custom notification tone is selected but will play default tone. I am sending this one back too. I am really bummed to hear that rooting did not fix the issue on the phone calls. I was actually considering doing this next...... Really hope the next phone doesn't have this issue. I like the Blaze and don't know of another tmobile phone that is comparable to replace it with.

ditto
I have the same problem I believe. I currently dorm near the Bay Area, California. I haven't been able to hear or reply through my calls even though they connect to the other person's phone. This isn't exactly a signal problem because the phone still has bars and I can still tell when someone is trying to call me. I still receive texts, use wifi, and sound is working perfectly fine. I am glad I am not the only one with these problems.
edit: This whole "unable to hear or speak" into the mobile phone problem began around November 22nd (thanksgiving overload?).
I am using CyanogenMod 9, rooted of course.
edit2: So I just tinkered around with the sim card and battery by taking it out and waiting for a minute or two before putting it back in. Voila! I can now hear my voice mail.

Sounds like Handset issues with me... send them back and have them send you new ones... that's some BS if it is doing that Stock.
Just my opinion... being through a lot of phone and that is what it sounds like. just one mans opinion... cheers

I would be better off getting a new, better phone, it seems. It is quite annoying. Either way I voided my warranty by flashing. I don't suppose I can actually return it back to stock (like, literally returning to stock and unrooting and wiping and formatting every data) so I can still give it back... can I?
PS: Thanks for the replies.

See the 'return to stock Odin thread' in the dev section. You will also need to flash the flash counter reset from the themes section.

I got my third phone from tmobile the other day (all Blaze) and my very first phone call it happened on. To add to what someone else said. The phone shows plenty of signal strength and in fact, if I hang up and call right back the call goes through as it should. This from sitting in the exact same spot. I can't figure out what's going on? I had thought on this and realized that I had been turning off apps on the phone that I don't use (pre loaded junk). On the off chance that had something to do with it I turned them all back on. Still does it. I'd say it is a good 30-35% of my calls that this happens on. Very frustrating. I really like this phone but it won't function as a phone for me. I guess now they have to give me a different phone if I return this one too but I don't know what phone is comparable in size and function. I picked this phone specifically for the size. My wife got an s3 and I was not interested in it at all due to how big it is. This sucks.

I have to chime in. i just bought the blaze for my g/f, and i've using an sgh-t989 (galaxy s2), having the same issue you are describing. stock radio, stock ROM, just rooted.

Such a shame considering it is such a great phone for the price it is offered at. Safe to assume it is a hardware problem?

Are you saying that you are having this problem with the blaze or the s2? Both?

Both phone are having this behavior. new SIM used in both phones aswell.

Yeah, I went down and switched out my sim card as well. My wife has an s3 and has no problems so I don't know what's up? Shows signal but calls won't connect properly. Hang up and call back, it works. Huge pain when I am driving or short on time though.

Any fix this problem found? I talked to samsung and t-mobile today, samsung was no help at all and t-mobile asked me to master reset it. Once that didn't work they offered a warranty exchange. Any one have luck correcting the issue?

So far? No. But my phone seems to be behaving for the past few days (3). Which is weird. I'm probably jinxing it right now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app

Restart during a call, the handset will not send sound.

Maybe they got a bad batch of Blaze 4G's. NOT making an excuse for them but I know it's happened in this business and others.... If I were u I wouldn't keep on dealing, hats to your patience. Let know where you're at. I've flashed to CM 10 nightly 20121207 and my Blaze is just damn sexy lmao, "figure of speech" good luck brought cheers

Whas ROM are you using? ICS and gingerbread have a call preference switch in settings. Set it to data preferred. Cm 10 has a lte switch in settings use it. Battery apps can cause delay in data connect. Try these and let me know how it works.

CM 10.1 double texts

This is in response to people saying
Has anyone else had complaints about multiple texts being sent from just one message? I sent one text today and my friend got blown up 5 times exactly with the same message
no but occasionally i receive texts like this. sometimes up to 30mins apart.
Yeah I do. People say I text them twice.

Since setting Network Mode to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, access point to pta (ATT LTE), and clearing data for the messaging app, I've not had this issue. I'm not sure which step fixed it. Posting here because xda doesn't think I'm cool enough to post in dev threads yet .

Text messages delayed over WiFi?

Just wondering if anyone else has this same issue.. I'm running rastakat 4.4.2, and Franco 23 along with the latest radio and bootloader. When I'm at home on my WiFi, I'm receiving texts very late. If I switch off my WiFi, sometimes I'll get 3 or 4 texts at once, like they were waiting for my WiFi to be off... Anyone else had this experience? Any fix? Thanks for any help...

Yes, this is a pretty well known 4.4+ bug. When connected to Wifi and LTE, incoming calls and texts are not coming through. Google is aware of the issue and is working on a solution.
I haven't determined if this happens all the time or if something triggers this bug, but I'm seeing it pretty much daily. You can search XDA for this issue and it's all over the place.
The way I got around it was to have Tasker turn off my data when I'm connected to my home or work wi-fi. When I leave home or work, Tasker then turns my data back on. This guarantees my calls and texts come through when they're supposed to. Since doing this, I haven't seen the issue again.

I should add to this that if you do it the way I described above, you won't receive MMS since they rely on data. Regular text messages will still come through though.
I just realized this. I'm going to try and find a way to turn off LTE while switching the phone into 3G, since the problem lies in the LTE antenna. There's a way to do this in Tasker but I think you need to be on a custom ROM.
