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.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA running Android 2.3

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] Issue with Stock SMS App and Google Contact Groups

I wondered whether anyone else has seen this behaviour in the Stock SMS messaging app.
To set the scene I have a Vodafone Branded Sensation with the latest OTA applied.
When I create large text messages, so over 500 Characters which splits into 4 messages, I try and use a Google contact GROUP as the recipient. When I do this just before I click send I get the dreaded message "mms app has stop responding and needs to be forced closed".
I have no other option than to hit close, this then forces the app down and also doesn't save my mammoth message I just ticked in!!
Anybody else seen this happen, I swear it was working pre the OTA update!!??
EDIT: The same behaviour happens with Handcent SMS, which makes me think something more sinister is going on here!

[Q] SMS Issues

Hi, I've had my rooted (bootloader still locked) AT&T One XL since early June and never really bothered with my SMS issues. I'm hoping for a solution now .__. Here are the issues I have:
1) Sending of multiple messages (this happens with the stock messaging app as well)
I saw that a few other people were having this issue too. For GO SMS, it's even worse because ppl get 3 of the same texts I send. I've tried various messaging apps but all of them result in multiple messages being sent.
2) Receiving multiple of the same messages (happens once in a while), noticed this on stock
3) White flash on the screen while using stock messaging app
Whenever I'm texting, a white flash will flash on the screen sometimes. Not really sure how to explain this one .__. I might be able to record a video of it
4) Sometimes I'll get delayed texts from my friend (I'm texting someone with TMO if that helps). The time stamp when my friend sent the text is always correct though so for example:
Me: bhalbha (1:09 AM)
Me: bahlbha????? (1:12 AM)
Person: jlsdfjsf (1:10 AM)
Person: jkldfs??? (1:13 AM)
Does anyone else have these problems/know a fix?

I FOUND IT. It says:
Service center
+13123149810
Seems like it's the correct one for AT&T

I'm having the same issues. Both the double or triple outgoing messages, and the delayed incomming messages. I checked my SMSC number and it's normal. I'm using the stock messaging app, and I'm on CleanROM 4.5.
Anyone have any idea what to try next?

Getting "subject new message" for every mms??

Every new MMS i get i get the message " subject new message" and its really annoying, especially with group chats. I downloaded and tried Textra and it didnt have it happen there. I also downloaded a modified version of the stock messaging app from android 4.3 and below and it has the same "subject new message" Any ideas?
I attached a screenshot of a picture i sent to myself just to show you

Im on straight talk. It seems to be a problem with their new sim cards using the tfdata apn settings. Anyone else have this issue?

"No subject" line in MMS

For the love of God...why is there always a subject line when I send a MMS to someone? I have turned off this option in settings, yet they still see this when I send a picture or am part of a group message. Very annoying and completely unnecessary

I believe it is a common problem for stock SMS/MMS app on T-Mobile network. Have had this issue since Note 4. I resort to use 3rd party SMS app such as Textra to eliminate the subject line.

Just saw this sorry...damn. Well I'll start using Google messenger then. Thanks

I must be overlooking something cause whenever I send a MMS or group text I don't see a subject line, my N2 was the same way l. On my N2 often when I received a MMS I would see a subject line but not when I send one. I don't see a setting on my N5 to turn off/on subject line.

I didn't see the subject line either but the recipient would. And the option is under messages settings > more settings > multi media

I was going to say I guess it differs by carrier/variant but since you are posting in the Tmo section I assuming you have a Tmo variant. My N920T does not have that setting & I verified with a couple of people that received MMS & group texts that they do not see a subject line from me.

Lol that is weird. Yea I have the T-Mobile variant as well and I have that option. Weird

Yeah that is weird but then again I'm running a stock modified OI5 rom. Not sure if that's why but I don't recall seeing anything about the stock messenger app being modified.

I have the LG G8 thinq phone on TMobile. I've used the LG SMS app but the "Subject: NOSUBJECT" is really annoying and I can't turn it off. See it on/off in group texts and always when a photo is sent. Switching to Google SMS (boring) eliminates the Subject/NOSUBJECT but I'll try Texstra next. There is no setting in the LG SMS to turn it on/off nor do senders (Android Samsung and iPhone) that affects this.
