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.

Both my wife and I seem to be getting duplicate SMS texting errors on our SK4Gs. the same message will arrive sometimes DOZENS of times. It seems like the phone isn't sending the right signal to the T-Mobile server that the SMS Text Message has been received. (Thankfully I have an unlimited TXT plan.)
I troubleshooted with on-line Chat and they said to try SIM Card in another phone at a local T-Mobile store and if the problem still happens, it is a network problem, if not, it is a Phone problem. I did. No Duplicates.
Odd that when I send a text message to myself, there are no duplicates.
Store Rep said next step would be a MASTER RESET of the phone before they would do a warranty exchange.
Is anyone else having this issue. Any suggestions on any system tweaks that can be used to solve the issue?
Since the issue statrted, I upgraded to GeekSMS and still get the same problem.
Yes, is happens to me too. Its annoying but it doesn't happen to often.

Hey guys,
I have actually looked everywhere but none had the answers that worked for me.
My problem is that, if I get a text message, that same text message keeps showing up forever. My friend texted me this morning, and so far I got that same text message more than 80 times so far. I'm running CM7 RC1 for p999. Can anyone help?
This problem is really getting annoying and I'm getting frustrated.
hahahaha!!!!
sorry
if person who send it to u txt msg, was got no reception, or some another problem, and he press "SEND" button -20 times, when he gonna get reception it will be send same msg 20 times
i get multiples also here and there, mostly coming from a Blackberry phone though, could be a coincidence.
I live in a bad signal area and get multiples all the time!

The thing is, my friend did not press send 20 times, I had cm7 nightly 49 installed when this problem started so i thought the problem was with the rom. So then i installed CM7 RC1 and the problem kept on continuing, i keep getting the same text non-stop.
I looked in other forums as well, there werent much help to be found.
Did you wipe? happened to me before on one of the nightlies. Are you using stock messaging ?

Yeah, i did a factory reset, and cleared dalvik cache before going into CM7 RC1. At first when it happened I was using Go SMS Pro, and I thought that was causing the problem... so then I uninstalled it and the problem continued.
I have the stock messaging app installed now and still have the problem.
I think your friend is screwing you over haha, SMS Bomber by any chance? try downloading the Anti SMS Bomber app

I Called up tmobile, they told me a lot of people with the G2X are having the same problem and the only fix is to wait for the update LG is going to release...
I had this problem once before, received 150 copies of the same message, called T-Mobile, they told me it was a problem with the senders phone. Something about it not getting a "message received" message back from either my phone or the system. Told me to have the sender shut down and pull battery. When they rebooted their phone I didn't get the message anymore.

I called tmobile too, they told me plenty of other people have the same problem with the SAME phone (LG G2X). I would understand if I was getting multiple texts from one person, but I get multiples from anyone who texts me. I guess I'm going to have to wait for an update from LG.

Yes, sounds like a different origin for similar problems, I was only getting one message repeated, the others were arriving normally.
After looking around a bit more, a member of xda (shaneledford) figured that an app called organizer widget is causing the problem... its not just that app, its an app that has the same SMS permissions as organizer widget.
This applies to the g2x, I don't know about other phones though...

Bought the Z3 on 11/11/14, was working fin until the 13. Text messages will say "sending" and I will not be able to receive any messages. Was on the phone with T-Mobile tech support for over 2 hours troubleshooting, no luck. Went back to the store, got a new sim card, and exchanged for a new phone, working fine until the next day (today).
This is my second z3, used multiple sim cards, did factory reset, nothing works text messages still will not receive or send. Salesman told me I can switch phones to anything else. What should I do?
Extremely disappointed in Sony. I believe this is a phone error as I had a Galaxy S3 with tmobile since 2012 with no issues.
I haven't had any problems with mine from T-Mobile. Does it work on WiFi calling? I really don't think it's the phone..

right, and the tech support rep said no issues have been reported with sony. I don't understand what the problem is then? I created a ticket with t-mobile engineering, hopefully that resolves the problem. If not, I'm jumping back to the S3

yes, but the problem continued on hangouts. I was just on the phone with tmobile tech, and she sent me a picture message, and it took over 30 minutes to receive. I sent a message to myself at 9am cst, and still haven't received.
It happens to me every once and a while, it happen yesterday but all I do is a soft reset.. Then it's sends the text..
If I had to guess it might be a fluke thing or maybe something to do with having stamina mode on but since I get incredible battery ? results it worth the hassle ..
Also I have done a factory reset and use the new Sim that came with the phone ..But it still happens ,I know it does because I get the did not send Error message ..
But for me personally it happens like maybe once or twice a week ..
Hey no phone is perfect but this Phone is so close to it with,whatever shortcomings it might have..

I never get the "send error" message, and I do not have stamina mode on. This is an amazing phone, no doubt about it, but I may be experiencing a bad batch or something.
This is not an intermittent issue, it is constant and never ending. My 2 Z3's have been far from perfect, and cannot handle the simple task of sending sms. Also the phone has rebooted by itself a couple times already. Sadly, I'll have to return it or wait for the tmobile engineering decision.
What apps do you have installed? My phone has rebooted/froze/force closed at all.

about 40 random ones from the store. actually, I tried to take a picture from the messaging app and it froze. I think the messaging failure is corrupting other processes on the phone, it gets really hot

If it's getting hot there must be an app stuck trying to do something, check and see what app(s) are using a lot of the battery, GSam works pretty well. Then uninstall/disable it
Me too
I've got the same issue, every so often my phone fails to send a text. It happens at least twice a day. First I thought it was Hangouts, so I disabled the SMS setting on it, and used the stock app, but it's doing the same thing. Sometimes I will retry three or four times with no success. I'm usually able to resend after waiting a few minutes.
I'm not on wifi, I don't use wifi calling. I have great signal strength, and mobile data is working, so I'm not sure why my messages won't send...
I'd also like to note, I came from a Nexus 4, NEVER had an issue with texts not going through... so I really don't think it's T-Mobile...

Yes same exact problem. It must be something weird on the phone that we need to configure. Maybe tmobile can adjust on their end. Yourr the only one in the USA to agree with me and this problem with the z3.

No clue, I've never dealt with T-Mobile support. Although my general consensus with carrier stores, is that the employee's are generally brain dead and just trying to get their commission on device/plan sales. (Does not apply to all of them) Most just have no idea what they are selling.
However, you definitely have an app doing something in the background. The only time my phone gets hot is while charging and using it, or doing something that stresses the processor. (4K Video/Games...etc.)

So for the past week I have been using gboard and android messages to be able to send gifs, bitmoji, etc. All of a sudden for no reason I can't receive any MMS at all using any other message app than HTC messages. Has anyone else seen this? I have tried textra, verizon message+, etc. Once I uninstall the other apps i can get the messages again, but only with the HTC app.
Known problem with android.

Again..
So the link above is for android 7.0... I have fixed the 7.0 problem in the past and did the whole new Sim activated on a newer vzw phone and had HD voice ect added and restarted my u11 with factor my reset. Fixed my mms issue for 6months until recently. Textra and any other app that isn't htc, fails to recieve mms. I have another u11 on 7.0 and it's not being used (long story) and put my sim in it and tested. Still no mms.
I did change my plan around the time the problem has started to occur again. Today I'm takin both u11s in and seeing if I can get mms to work by activating a new Sim. I'm frustrated cause I dont like htc sms app.
Anyone else having problems? Maybe the Sim card is just a bandaid?

Do you have a stock rom back up ? If so back up your current rom and data then restore the stock rom back up then boot it and let it update apps then reboot to recovery and save your updated stock rom to a new back up then restore your back up that you were originally using and it should text fine. I said to update apps and do another stock back up so you have a new updated back up for future fixes. I have had to do this a couple times but its usually after flashing things like I did through magisk I did the viper4android and it broke texting and data but doing this always seems to be a fix for me and others. Its not permanent fix but it will get your texts and data working again until you flash something again.

But I'll try a factory reset tomorrow after work... So assuming I should remove sim before hand?

I actually have the same problem with my HTC U11 that's on Verizon services. I posted a new thread about before I seen this one. My problems started a week or so ago. I was using Android Messages at the time this stopped working. I have put my SIM card in 3 other phones with the same result. I then put my wife's SIM card in my HTC and was able to receive picture messages on the HTC using her number. So that said to me it's not a phone issue but my SIM card. I got a new one today and activated it using my G5. I was able to get picture messages on the G5 put the new card in my HTC and it was a no go. It's weird that her card would receive mms messages on my phone but my old card or new one won't. And now that I've put the new one in my HTC I can no longer get picture messages on my G5. I also noticed that on the G5 settings i was no longer able to turn on video calling. It said that service was not turned on and needed to be enabled on my plan. My wife still uses her G5 and it will let her turn on video calling. It's almost as if this problem is attached to my phone number and something fishy is going on with Verizon. Seems weird my new card worked in my G5 then lost that ability after putting my card in the HTC.

I checked to see if what you suggested was in those settings.... They are and yet I still am unable to 3rd party apps. Even message+ gets pics if I'm using wifi. It's really annoying

I tried that and it didn't work for me. Only the stock app works for MMS.
Ya, only stock app works properly. Message+ works right only on wifi. Surprised that there's not more ppl commenting on this or found a fix

I actually have the same problem with my HTC U11 that's on Verizon services. I posted a new thread about before I seen this one. My problems started a week or so ago. I was using Android Messages at the time this stopped working. I have put my SIM card in 3 other phones with the same result. I then put my wife's SIM card in my HTC and was able to receive picture messages on the HTC using her number. So that said to me it's not a phone issue but my SIM card. I got a new one today and activated it using my G5. I was able to get picture messages on the G5 put the new card in my HTC and it was a no go.
