Sending SMS again after restart

Hey everyone,
I currently have an AT&T Captivate on the Telus network. I had to manually put in the APN setting and stuff. I have a problem with the SMS portion of the phone. If I send an SMS using the messaging app or handscent sms it shows the sms as sending even though it has been sent. And when I restart the phone it sends all of the text messages again. It is very annoying as sometimes it will resend about 30 texts to the same person. What is wrong with the phone?

I have the same problem sometimes with handscent. Usually it's only 1 or 2 tho

Go under 'Settings', 'Send Message Settings', and check the box for 'Prevent Resend'. This stops that problem with Handcent SMS.

just tried, it would still send the message again after i restart the phone. any other ideas?

i have to delete the whole sms thread to make this not happen. Which is kind of annoying. So I am hoping someone has the same issue as me and has fixed it lol

[Q] phone wont send long text messages?

for some reason my phone wont send long txt messages but will send short ones..i have a signal. im using handcent sms on the htc evo. whenever i try to send a long txt message my phone just sits there and then says message not sent. it just fails to send all long messages. what can i do about this? is this common?

It's happening because you are on a CDMA network (sprint) which limit your sms messages to 160 characters. Handcent is not initially set up to split any message over 160... You have to go into the settings and select that option.

Problem with inbox messages

hey,
Since a few days im having problems with my messages inbox.
Because when you send a message to a contact you can see what messages you have send before right ? so it looks kinda like a conversation and you can scroll back to the first message you have ever send.
Now im having a problem because when i send or recieve a message it doesnt show.
I do get a notification that someone had send me a message but i cant find it and/or read it. because when i go to that conversation it just shows that the last message was send yesterday and i can read those without a problem it just doesnt show new messages.
I have deleted all my messages and then it works again for the first 5 or 6 messages but then again if i get a message i cant find it in my inbox and it looks like i never got a text.
I've looked into the options and couldnt find anything strange so i was wondering if someone else had problems with this ?
People do recieve my messages though so thats not a problem i just cant read the ones they send to me so it almost looks like my phone only saves a certain amount of messages and after that it will not save my messages anymore.
sorry for my bad english

have you tried another messaging app like handcent from the market it is free and also a good messaging app there is also go sms for free so maybe try theser and see what happens??

[Q]How to to send SMS to multiple contacts?

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if it's possible to send multiple texts/group texts on 7.5 MANGO.
It's for the Samsung Focus.
I did some thread searching and they were all old (WP7). Every time I try the group text/multiple text, it responds with "Can't send"
I was just wondering if anyone has found a fix for this, aside from using the Bulk SMS app.
Thanks!

The count is limited to 10. How many did you add ?

the same, i can not send sms to 2 people on hd 7

In the Messaging settings, turn off 'Group text' and then try.
It worked for me.
With Group text ON, it considers the text messages as MMS, and fails to send.

Here is a silly question but if you send 10 SMS or MMS messages, do you get charged for 10 by your provider of do they all count as one?

Each msg is sent seperately so charges are for each sms

Ability to change default apps

Is there anyway possible to change the default messaging and email apps to whatever one I want? (Speficially Gmail and Textra)

Gmail works fine (for receiving at least). I turned it off because my watch was vibrating too much. I use Google's messenger just fine too - voice response and all.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, and is there a way to compose new messages from Textra?

I recall being able to send messages through the messages app on the watch.
Just ignore the "please set messages to default app on phone" message that pops up every time you make a new message on the watch.

Oh, but I can't see my participant's messages on the gear (only I see my messages) also, group messages isn't functional.

I would like to know this too. I use Aquamail on my phone for email and Next SMS (Handscent) for messaging. I don't really want to use the default email app or default messaging. Is there not a way to change it?
