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.

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.

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.

For some reason I've been experiencing the message ones a lot more frequently this last day, maybe because I text more? would that affect it? Either way it shouldnt stop working because I text alot /: that basically the reason why i got the sk
Hey guys... Had this random problem start a couple days ago. I'll send someone a text message and when they reply, instead of their reply showing up below my sent message, it shows up above it. Out of order if that makes sense... Any ideas...?
Its a known issue with Sense and gingerbread. Download SMS Time Fix from the market and that will fix your problem.

I have been having some issues as well but mine aren't a time issue. Occasionally I'll text someone back but it sends the message to another person that I've texted. Not necessarily the last person, but another person in the messaging app. I even stopped using the some of the skins gadget made just in case that caused a random issue. Any thoughts?

i believe this is an issue with the android, maybe just sense roms not totally sure, stock text messenger app. switching to another app fixes the problem. i suggest go sms pro, but i've heard handcent is really good too
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
