I have seen some threads about phones receiving multiple instances of the same text, but in my case the phone seems to be sending the text multiple times. It doesn't show up in the Android messaging app as having been sent multiple times, but it shows up in the billing records each time the recipient received it.
If I delete the message that is being multi-sent, the phone starts repeating some other message.
This is a G2X with stock software. The texts are sent using the Android messaging app.

Might be a slow work day, so I'm hoping I can get rid of some the little bugs that have been bothering me....
1. Sometimes I will receive the same text message multiple times, up to about 10 but it's usually only one or two duplicates. This can happen over a period of about 20 minutes.
2. Messages get delivered several hours later or only after a reboot. There is not usually any indication that the sms failed to deliver. I sent a text yesterday to my brother, and it seemed to go out fine with no error message. After rebooting my phone today, I shortly thereafter received a confused text asking what I was talking about. The text I thought I had sent yesterday now appeared in our conversation with a timestamp of when I restarted my phone.
3. The stock messaging app doesn't give me any notifications at all. Obviously, that's not acceptable, so I'm stuck using a 3rd party sms app (handcent). Don't know if this is related, but I use Google Voice for my voicemail and that also doesn't give me notifications (have my voicemails sent to my gmail account as a workaround on that). If I open the apps my voicemails and texts are there, just no notification from the phone.
I know at least the first two issues could be an issue with the carrier (at&t), but I had none of these problems with an iphone prior to switching or when using the mediocre AT&T Messages app on this phone.
I was hoping these problems would magically disappear after rooting and installing a new ROM (viperXL), but that hasn't been the case.
Thanks for any help!
I have problem with delayed text messages since new year. This phone is working on rooted Android 2.3.3 around 1,5-2 years. I'm using GoPro SMS app for text messages. Sometimes I can message with some people without "lags" but after x sms sent next text message from this friend is delayed from 10min to 2h+. As I know after I turn off phone, remove battery and insert, turn on I receive delayed messages. Other times after someone call I receive also delayed messages. On other phones this SIM card is working very well, no any lags with sms. Is there any way to fix this problem without reinstalling/updating Android?
When I get multiple unread messages for example in viber it no longer shows the message. and I have to pull out my phone to read them.
Is there a way to still read the full message even I get multiple messages?
It depends on the application. When I was using K9 mail for my corporate emails, the first one came in fine, but subsequent ones said 2 Messages, 3 Messages, etc. Switching to the default app allowed me to see the entire text of the email (although it has trouble parsing our signature details and becomes wall of text...lol)
Since getting my Nexus 5 a couple of months ago, I've been using google now quite a lot, including to send SMS messages by voice control. That has always worked absolutely fine, until the other day I realised that a text hadn't appeared in my conversation thread in the stock hangouts app. I checked with the person I'd sent the message to and they hadn't received it at all.
Since then, every time I've dictated a text to google now it has said "message sent" after the little "message sending" pops up, though the messages haven't appeared in my conversation threads in the hangouts app and the messages don't actually appear to have been sent at all as none have reached the recipient. Sending messages normally through the hangouts app works fine, and receiving messages is also fine - the disappearing messages are isolated to using google now.
I've tried clearing the cache and data for both hangouts and the google search apps, but that hasn't helped. Has anyone else had a similar problem or have any ideas?
Thanks,
Nathaniel
Hangouts has recently been telling me that my texts aren't sending. They'll stay "sending" for a very long time (meanwhile the recipient will receive 3 of the same message) before going "message not sent. touch to retry." Sometimes, it even goes to "x mins via sms" however the text gets sent multiple times again. I've tried deleting cache/data/uninstalling all updates to Hangouts then reinstalling the new updates....nothing. Any ideas?
