[Q] Receiving multiple copies of same SMS??? Help! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
So yesterday I noticed that I would occasionally receive multiples of the same text message. It started out only being once or twice, but it has increased in frequency. Today, I reset my phone with Odin3 and installed SRE 1.2.2a. Also, I added the lag fix. Unfortunately after ressetting, I am still experiencing the same problem. I thought it was an issue with handcent, so I switched to chompSMS and the same thing is happening. Most recently, I have received the same text message 7 times, and it was originally sent an hour ago. The odd thing is that each copy that is sent to me shows the ORIGINAL send time, so its something on my end that is going wrong.
For the record I have notifications only turned on for one SMS client at a time, so thats not an issue. i have toyed around with my sms settings and everything but for some reason I still am getting this problem. anyone have any help?

update: just texted myself and i have gotten 3 duplicates of the SMS in the last 3 minutes....wtf????

I have sre 1.2.2, the lagfix ext4 and firmware jh3.
The same crap is happening to me! I have no clue what it is, I'm talking to this girl and since I'm getting some of her text multiple times, it is delaying her other text so it ruins the whole conversation. It's bull****! She's on an iphone and she wasn't having an issue.
Anyway, I switched my sim card from the Captivate to my Bold 9700 and started to text myself, the same crap is happening. So, I don't think it's the Captivate.

Sms issue

Hi, lately I noticed that when the phone rings for an incoming sms there are infact 2 of them: the problem is that the first one often shows a timestamp 5-6 hours earlier!
Is it an operator problem? Someone else having this issue?
Thanks
Today the issue showed in a different way: I opened the inbox folder and saw an unread sms that i wasn't aware of.
A couple of seconds later the phone rang the sms tone but no new messages showed up. I opened the unread message and saw that it was sent 3 hours earlier.
Am I the only one with this issue?
never heard/seen that...it could be operator error or maybe clock setting incorrect?
i get that thing with voicemails sometimes....
i recently got a voicemail that was sent 2 days ago and as for the time stamp, thats when your buddy sent the sms to you. Its a network issue not a phone, so dont worry
Thanks guys for the answers.
The clock is correct and I was thinking to a network issue too, the only thing that made me wonder was that - sometimes - the sms shows up when I wake up the phone.
Can you give a little more information?
Operator, how frequently this happens, if a reset helps?
Reason I ask is i'm on T-Mobile in the UK and have something similar that happens, however at times I don't get the txt at all until I either send or make a call, which seems to 'unclog' the message.
I'm pretty sure this is a network problem, and a friend of mine has contacted T-Mobile who confirmed they have had network problems since the start of the new year. However I've not had this confirmed. Anyone able to verify this also?
Iv had this alot with my handset. Sometimes theres a message sitting in my inbox, and i am unaware of this. the phone only rings wen i go into the inbox and have a look for myself. all of a sudden the phone rings and iv got a new message. This is a big issue for Tmobile!! if there is alot of us having this problem, it could be ROM related as iv still got the standard tmobile shipped ROM.

Old SMS Resending On Restarts

This has been happening a lot lately, I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue as well. Every time I boot up my phone an old SMS will send to its original recipient. Needless to say I'm getting tired of people asking "Why did you resend that to me?"
I'm running Cyn 4.2.3.1 (but it has occurred on his other builds as well) I'm using handcent and stock message app.
Any other additional info anyone would need to help with this issue just let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I used to get this on the early hero builds.. along with some other sms issues, but I've never noticed it since I switched back to CM..
I'm having this same issue. It seems that when I reboot my phone it clears out the text messages I've sent and received the last few days and resends one from a couple days ago.

Problem receiving MMS (yes, I have data plan)

For a while now, I have been getting the notifications that I have an MMS message received. But when I go to retrieve it (through the notification dropdown) it just takes me to my messaging and it shows nothing new. Doesn't even show me who the message was from so I can maybe let them know I didn't get it.
Anyone else had this problem before or know how to fix it?
No one has approached me saying "hey, did u get my pic message" so it probably was just joke stuff that dint really matter, but it's still annoying not knowing what was sent. It's like the message just disappeared or something.
I remember it working just fine before rooting my phone 2 months ago.
I am currently running SuperD 1.93 but it has been happening since I first rooted, in which my first rom was CM 4.12.xxx
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Well, isn't a fix, but have you sat down with a friend and got them to text you to make sure? You might just be getting the random notification, but no actual text. I know if this was happening to me I would rather get a random notification rather than actually missing out on a text. Also, it would be nice to know which way to address this issue.

Have you tried Setting>Applications(sort all)>Messaging>Clear data?

I had a friend text me "im about to send u a picture" and got the notification, but the pic never appeared so I do not believe it is a false notice. It doesnt happen often either.

I've never tried that, but I will now. But I have wiped and reflashed my roms plenty of times, wouldn't that clear all the data anyway?
Last time I wiped and reflashed was less than a week ago...

I would guess it would, who knows, I had a ghost Gmail for weeks...
Ok so clearing the message data did not help. I sat next to a friend trying to send me a pic and it would show "Unknown: MMS Received"....I'm so lost as to what to do
bumping this as I've tried lots of things, and get this error myself too. I can at least send picture messages again, but I still can't receive.
Have you called t-mobile? I had the same problem and I tried everything. Decided to give them a call just as a last option and it was on there end.
And since you just rooted and it's happened only since you rooted I would go over everything you did.

[Q] SMS Htc Hero CDMA Problem

I'm postivie i received two text, from my self, and my friend sitting next to me; They were delayed until i made a phone call. Any fixes? Surely would appreciate it!
Rom - Stock 2.1 Rooted
I'm thinking of going back to Cyanogen 6.1 when this problem is fixed
Thanks!
Are you going through a SMS app, like Handcent, or using the stock messaging program? I had a huge delay in sending/receiving texts when I used those programs. If you are using a non-stock program, try using the stock one to see how it responds first.
Yeah, i am using the stock app, but ill try using handcent and see if it works like that
Sorry, Handcent was the one giving me problems, not the stock app. How is the other data flowing, like browser and what not? Seen any drop in data coverage or anything? Do you have the newest baseband radio?

Do you have a "low space" warning? I know I've had problems receiving mms/texts when I'm low on internal space. Once I cleared up the space (>19MB Free I believe) by uninstalling a bunch of apps I never use, all the texts came in
Just a thought
Well, i got it fixed, went to the sprint store, (unrooted of course) and they fixed it within an hour, they reset the entire phone, not the same reset as Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.
text and phone calls not getting through
my wife and i both got HTC incredible with Verizon service, this been almost two months ago. my phone is completely awesome, hers on the other hand has an issue her phone will stop receiving text, and or phone calls out of the blue. we will be texting back and forth and all the sudden hers just stops getting my text, so i will call her and it will ring on my end, till her voice mail picks up. this has happen few times a day ever since she has had the phone. if she makes a call out or restarts the phone then she will get all the texts, and voice messages at once. this happen with stock phone apps and ones like handcent. it happen when phone was s-on and after i rooted and installed new kernels and all that jazz. i have talk to Verizon and they talk me through reset and few other things but still doing it. guess i am going to have to see about taking it in, unless anyone has any other advise i have not thought of. all of her software versions are same as mine.

You might have better luck asking on the dinc forums.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
not just a dinc issue...!?
yea, i know, i put it here because, it seems like same issue this guy was having and i have been searching around and have found many instances of the same problem on many different android phones.
i am un-rooting it and reinstalling the original software and taking it into Verizon tomorrow to see if they can do anything. should have done it sooner but every time i would try a fix it would seem like it was fixed for a day or so and then back to the same thing.
i will copy it over there just for posterity, and hopefully i can amend it tomorrow evening with the fix and a solved!

[Q] Not receiving MMS

So my wife and I both got Thrills the day they were released. Only a couple weeks after getting them my wife started having trouble receiving MMS's. Even with the "auto-download" setting enabled MMS's stopped auto-downloading and if she pushed download it would just say "downloading" and never download until she rebooted her phone. Mine was working fine so I didn't pay too much attention. I kinda figured it was cause she messages a hell of a lot more than me and it might be a glitch there. One day I started having the same problem so I assumed I had reached the number of MMSs that she had when she started having the problem. So I deleted all my text messages in the messaging app. So she sends me an MMS today and same thing, didn't auto-download, won't download when I click the button. I refuse to reboot my phone for everything. Anyone else having this problem? Know whats going on? Have a fix that doesn't require root or a new rom?

Had the same issue when I got my Thrill, I had to edit a setting. I forget what it was.....another thing that's stopped my MMS is having a **** load of Message in my inbox that aren't deleted.
Go t settings and set up auto delete, clear cache, & change what you please, after that report back in a day

Clear cache? In message settings? I actually deleted all my texts and still have this problem. I never set up auto delete on mine but I did my wife's. Either way it still happened to both of us. This "clear cache" sounds like a winner. I wonder if the pics get downloaded but just don't show up in the app. The next time it happens I'm gonna search the folder with ES and see if it's there.
