Does anybody else have this problem? Just got this phone. It's not rooted yet and I'm using the stock Touch Wiz SMS app. When texting back and forth with somebody, I'll receive a normal plain old text from the person and at any given time, one of the newly sent messages I receive from them will contain part of an older message that's still in the thread. It's like part of an older message got hijacked and inserted into the newly sent message, and sometimes part of the newly sent message has been omitted. Very strange...and very annoying... Anybody have any ideas?
Is it with only certain people? Sounds like someone you're texting with has a strange SMS program that's doing this.
I asked what phones these other people have and they have the Motorola Razor Maxx, Samsung Galaxy SIII, Motorola Droid 4, and the Motorola Droid Maxx HD. All are also on Verizon with non rooted phones and are using the stock SMS app. No idea why it happens but I'm wondering if the problem is on my end or on their end. Any ideas? I'm stumped for right now...

Anyone else notice that they're not getting notifications for some received texts on the Inspire? It seems to be random, and I don't notice the new text until I open up the messaging app and see it there, I don't get sound/vibrate or anything in the notification bar. I'm using the Inspired ROM and rooted but I don't think that's the cause of the problem.
I noticed the same thing this morning. I'm completely stock for the moment.

Well, I guess I'm glad it's not just me. I hope somebody has a fix for it.
I only sent a test message last night after I got the Inspire and it was received and I was notified without issue. Then I installed Handcent and turned off stock messaging app Notifications and Handcent has been working fine.
Rooted with a dhd rom here. I didn't think I was having this problem but checked my messages and sure enough I had one from a hour ago I never got a notification about..... the gf soooo isn't going to believe me its my phone again.

I had a similar issue where my 2 Gmail accounts weren't giving notifications when I received new email. Also my Sense clock/weather wasn't always updating the weather when I unlocked the phone.
I ended up doing a factory reset and reinstalled all my apps manually and everything appears to be fine at the moment.
Yep, same problem. Seems to only happen later in the day?
ditto

Anything guys?? This is really frustrating
Really need help with this. Bump.

I've had the same thing happen. I was in the middle of a conversation and it seemed like the other person just disappeared. Was going to send them another text when I noticed they had actually responded.
The issue clearly hasn't been resolved... It's happening to me as well. No notification. Or I get it, hear it and feel it, and then unlock my phone and no notification in the top bar or on the msg icon on my homescreen. But its def there when I open msgs....this is very frustrating as I've been patiently waiting by my phone for an answer about a new job. Has anyone had a fix for this? I'm completely stock no root. I'm about to go on to ATT and have words with them if it can't be resolved I'm geting a new phone...this is stupid we can't get basic functionality to work....out of the box.
You could try using a different SMS app like Handscent that does notifications itself. I think Go SMS does notifications too.
Or they could admit there is an issue and fix it. I shouldn't have to get a third party app to do basic phone functions like sms and phone. Wtf!
Or you could root your phone instead of expecting AT&T to fix something when it takes them months just to release updates for things that should have been included in the first place.
Well its not really on ATT its on HTC. And besides rooting would void my warranty. And if I get this job ill be leaving the country, in which case id like to return the phone as I doubt it will do me much good in the Netherlands. Either way. Shoulda worked correctly out of the box. It's an HTC sense/Rom issue not an ATT service issue.
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.

I recently exchanged my phone and noticed yesterday I haven't been getting any text messages at all sms or mms I tried using many different roms from ics to gingerbread and yes I did a full wipe in between using the nullify format. I put my sim card in my G1 and started getting messages so I know it's the phone Is this normal has this happen to any else and hopefully there is a possible fix so I don't have to send it back to LG and be another 2 weeks with my slow ass G1. Edit Didn't see other thread about this looked for it yesterday

can u send or no? how about data? is it working? calls go thru?
maybe is the apn? :/
I can send messages and my web works fine there was another thread about this I did not see. The only thing to do is exchange it once again and go 2 weeks with my crappy G1 or maybe not a friend gave me his iphone 3gs which I am not a iphone person I have ipod touch and i'm ok with that. So I'm thinking of putting it on straight talk till I get a at&t android phone don't know much about there phones so I'll be looking around for a decent one.
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

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.
I have an issue that I have no idea what causes it. Every few weeks or so I am not able to text a specific person or call them. I can be on any Rom and kernel combo and the issue will still arise. The messages will send but they never receive them and when I call, it doesn't show that I called on their phone. The only way I have found to fix my issue is to flash a TW Rom at which point we can call and text again then I flash back to AOSP and it will be fine for a few weeks. My friend has an iPhone, which I believe might have something to do with it. When this happens I can call and text any other contact and they can call and text any of their contacts but we can't contact each other. I don't know if the issue is me, them or Verizon, which we both have. If anyone has any insight or has heard of this, any info would be greatly appreciated because it gets annoying having to flash a new Rom every month. (Sorry for any grammatical errors, I'm typing this on a tablet.)
My buddy and I both have androids, he can get my texts but the ones sent to me will not go through. We can call though but the text issue has been happening on three phones. I think it's an issue on his end. He's bone stock.
