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.

I have text one number from my phone for months and thousand of messages at that, suddenly tonight in the middle of the conversation I can't get any text through to her. Says unable to send. I can mms her and she can text me. I can call her as well. I was on bamf gb 2.05. I have now restored back to the mr1 updated rooted only still can not text her. I have deleted the contact tried with and without 1 in front of the number. I can text any other number on the phone normally. Anyone have a clue since Verizon no longer offers 24hour support? How ****ed is that?

I'm having the same problem with my moms number....worked great,then bam...nothing tried taking the 1 off,it works occasionaly.
this only happened when I went to BAMF gingerRemix worked flawlessly w/other BAMF ROMs
Have you tried changing ROMs?
Since I went from gb back to stock I would say yes... Mysteriously started working again this morning...very odd it was like it was blocked...

This happened to me for 6 hours one night. I couldn't receive any SMS but I could send. After 6 hours it started working again. If you google this issue, other people are having it. I don't think it is ROM related.
I don't think it's a TB issue.. I haven't experienced it on my TB, but I did experience it on my LG Voyager way back when..
Unless they have the same bug..
Which would suck..
Greetings! I would like to assist with this issue. I see that these concerns have been posted recently. If this is still occuring, please tweet me your details and I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!

woah new verizon rep on the form
Okay this is my first post. I am sorry if you are sick of hearing about this. I really am. But this issue is a killer for me.I have searched Google and this forum to the best of my ability.
I have a new Nexus S that i just received a two weeks ago. It has all the updates. It is the Sprint one.
I have the dreaded SMS issue where you think you are replying to person A in a thread but the message goes to person B. However, in your thread it looks like it went to person A.
I realize this has been covered over and over and over. But it seems Google is not focusing on this. I do not think I have to point out all the potential problems this can cause. I can recreate this at will. Basically texting two people in two different threads at the same time causes the issue. In other words having two text conversations at once. As I can create the issue at will I am puzzled as to why google can't fix this?
I saw one post here that says a third party app called GO SMS fixes it. However, I also have seen many posts that says Handcent fixes it. No go. Happens on the Droid SMS and Handcent apps for me.
I am familiar with the Google code thread number 9392...
Seems to be many years old, many complaints and no fix.
Am I missing the fix? Can anyone point me to solutions that have worked for them or ones found here?
I love everything about the phone but this. If I return the phone Sprint will jack me for a $35 restock fee. I like the phone but man this bug is sure a deal breaker.
Any info welcome. Thanks for your time.
Perhaps a new flashed rom fixes this?
No one????
I've been told this only happens to the stock sms/mms app and if you use something such as handcent that someone it is not effected. I've been using handcent since my moment (3 phones ago) and never ran into that bug.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried Handcent, Chomp and the stock sms apps. Happens on all of them all the time and I can recreate the problem at will. Seems Google took down the problem report thread. Site is up but thread gives a 403 error. I just wish they would fix it. Or at least own up to it in a statement and acknowledge they know about the issue and are working to fix it.
I do not know if rooting with a different rom would fix this. I would hate to go through the trouble and not have a root/rom fix it. Noob here. Never rooted a phone.
Hey guys!
It's been a while since i visited these boards. Sadly I'm faced with a problem that may make me go back to some stock 2.3.3 ROM.
I've got the CM10 on my P500, used it for months, was quite happy with it (tho didn't really play around much with it).
Well, untill around 2 weeks ago when my phone stopped playing ringtones, making me miss calls when i was sitting right next to it. Quite annoying, tried changing all known setting that could cause this. It did vibrate on vibrate-only mode, except for that no results.
Finally today I got fed up with things, restored default settings and behold, now the phone doesn't even display incoming calls. Though they do show up later in missed calls. All of this is crazy :silly:
So, my questions are. Did anybody else get this problem? Any new version of the ROM or patch to fix this? Should I just find myself some old sure-proof ROM, cause I don't even play around with all the new 4.1.2 toys?
Anyways, I'm awaiting your replies. Thanks a bunch in advance.
Cheers fellas!
Hi! Until yesterday i was using Bytecode's ParanoidDroid 3.15 (nice JB 4.2 rom, thanks Bytecode!!!). Couple of days ago i had a ringtone problem also: the phone begin to ring, but only for a second, and then stopped (i keep my ringtones on my sdcard). I don't know the solution because i switched roms - for that bug and speaker bug - searching for a stable one. Now i'm testing 4.0.4 ICSPlus, and hope to be the "right" one.
Same prob.

Hi there. Actually i have this problem too. I flashed Rashed's cm10 about two days ago and when somebody calls me it doesn't ring. I thought that the problem was my phone, but now if there are more people with that problem I don't know what to think anymore..
About 4 days ago, I started having problems with my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 . What it will do is send one sms per 24hrs. If I try to send a second sms it fails every time. I have tried modems ML1 and MF1 with the same results. Attached is a screen shot of my settings. I have tried searching the net but cannot find the answer. I see others talked about this in march of 2014 but no solved solution. Please help me, and thank you.
I've just begun experiencing this myself. Below is a copy of the message I've posted elsewhere. Just an FYI that you're not alone in this problem....
"I have the weirdest thing happening. I'm on stable 7 and have been for quite a while. It's worked perfectly until a couple days ago and now I can't send text messages out. I think I can receive OK. Just can't send out. I've even tried doing a clean install of this and other ROMs with same result. It gets more odd... After toying with it I can send only one text out. Just one to any person. But I can't send another unless I reboot or I think wait a few hours. Upon reboot I again can send only one text message out. And so on. I have no clue what could be happening. Any ideas?"

I haven't had this issue (knock on wood) and I could be wrong but this is actually pretty common and reported in the forum a lot. Mostly it seems that the different modems 'might' make a difference and I think some had success going back to stock making sure it worked and then rerooting, iirc. I've never seen any definitive solution though.
