OK I already know what the unhelpful responses would be to this I.e. change your carrier. I assure you it is not the problem I have a super strong LTE connection at my house with a LG G3 and HTC One. My issue is when the phone is sitting with the screen off, if I pick it up fast enough I see its been searching for signal then it quickly changes back to in service. Any ideas or anyone else experiencing this?? Also in battery stats cell standby is high and time without signal is usually a couple hours. As long as the phone has its screen on it maintains a signal.
I have been getting wierd things happing with my signal on T-mobile( showing no bars when I have signal, not letting me make calls when I have full bars). I think this is less of a sprint issue and more of a device issue. Should not be hard to fix with an OTA so I'm not worried.
Thanks for the reply, I'm curious if others are having signal woes.
My device is doing the same. Bought direct from Motorola, using on T-Mobile.
Noticing the same on Tmo as well, no issue with my Z2 so I know its the N6. It will show no bars, then full and bounce around every so often like it can't decide on 3G, H or LTE.

OK thanks, guys I haven't seen any other sprint users chime in yet so this is very interesting coming from T-Mobile users. I bought mine direct from sprint and of course I'm running stock with boot loader unlocked, rooted, and twrp installed. I also feel like I would have way better battery life if the phone wasn't searching for signal when the screen was off.
I have the same issue on and I'm on T-Mobile
No issues at all for me on T-Mobile in my home / area, but I still have to test it when I go to work Monday . In fact I have much better cell reception on my N6 than my note 4.
I am using tmobile nexus 6 on verizon and it doed act funky. Sometimes all bars would be grey, but ill still have service. Is odd because other verizom phones always show at least 2.
I had the same issues with the Nexus 5 and GPE HTC One M8, but I was on AT&T. Signal bounced all over, never hold LTE signal, dropped calls, bars would disappear, and that never happened on my other phones. Anyone have any input with the Nexus 6 and signal on AT&T?
I am having the exact same issue on T-Mobile. It is leading to some pretty significant battery drain, I hope this is fixed soon!
I'm even seeing users reporting on this over at the sprint sub on reddit. Hopefully just a software issue that gets fixed soon.
I switched from vzw to sprint for unlimited data and this phone so I cant comment on sprints coverage at home until this point. However my signal is very irradic and constantly non existant while my buddies gs5 and iphone 6 plus in the same room show 3 to 4 bars on sprint. I have done prl updates and tried every setting possible without root, hopefully it is software related.

thanks for the info.. my phone for some strange reason while its off will still flash my clock in intervals of about every 30 seconds..... its something minor but im wondering why it does that....
I'm on sprint. My phone doesn't want to send texts while on wifi. It takes like 5+ minutes to send. If i flip off wifi it sends immediately...

Hello,
I've been trying to figure this out for days now and I can't seem to find any permanent solution. My Nexus 6 on Sprint (Android L 5.0 / LRX21O / Up to Date PRL) 50%-75% of the time sends duplicate SMS messages to recipients. On my end I see one SMS message outbound and it sends without issue. On the other end, people will get the same message one to six times. I've seen it myself on a separate Sprint phone and a Verizon phone.
From what I can tell, sometimes updating the profile helps for a few minutes and that's it. It doesn't matter if I uninstall/disable the stock Google Messenger or Hangouts. This issue happens in every single 3rd party SMS messenger I've used. The only time I've got the problem to stop is if I force 3G service and not the Global or LTE settings. Strangely enough, If I'm on LTE, and I switch to WiFi, the issue remains. If I force 3G and then go on WiFi, the issue is gone.
I've tried uninstalling certain applications that come stock with the phone.. I've tried not updating any applications. I've done factory resets (and I sent an SMS to test without doing 1 update) and it still duplicated. I returned the phone and got another phone. Same issue. On the Sprint end, they changed some settings on my phone and had me reset the network connection via the phone *#*# etc. menu. That fixed the issue, and it lasted 24 hours. Upon either a reboot, or perhaps just a power cycle, the problem returned.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? I have zero Data issues. Hangouts works fine. Youtube, Gmail, Chrome etc are all super fast without issue.
Thank you in advance.

I always just thought this was an issue on Sprints side and not the phone itself. I just started with Sprint myself when I picked up the Nexus, prior to this I had Verizon.
My girlfriend however has been with Sprint forever and no matter what ROM or phone she had, this issue would pop up from time to time.
Now that I'm with Sprint she's told me a few times that she's gotten duplicate messages from me. It seems to happen when we are in spotty service areas from what I can tell. I haven't even bothered calling Sprint like you have though... I just chalked it up as Sprint service is sketchy.

The issue here is that it's not popping up from time to time...it's pretty consistent. I've been with Sprint for at least 7 years and have never ran into the issue until this phone. My prior phone was a Nexus 5...and I have a galaxy s3 here which I can't duplicate the issue on.
We all need to complain to Sprint so they either fix it on their side, or put pressure on Google to fix it on their own side.

Yep, this has been happening to me. My girlfriend started complaining she was getting my text 2x-3x for each message. She is on T-Mo, I'm on Sprint. Tested with a few coworkers on different providers and only 1 out 4 received it more than once and they are on Verizon. Rebooted, tried updating PRL and data profile. She hasn't complained about it doing it anymore but we will see. Super frustrating

I've tried every combination you can think of:
1. Google Messenger as default with and without Hangouts installed.
2. Hangouts as default with and without Google Messenger installed.
3. SMS Messenger AOSP, ChompSMS, 8sms, Textra, Handcent, all with and without Google Messenger and or Hangouts installed.
I've tried forcing 1x, updating PRL and Profile and then going back to LTE. Same issue. Multiple Hard Resets and Data Network Resets. Only ONCE the Sprint support person did something on their end ("Changed a number") and out of nowhere the duplicates stopped. But it only lasted 1 day while using Google Messenger.
This happened to me with my G3 on Att, it just stopped one day and I still don't know what started it

Lol. Yeah. Doesn't hurt. I'm on the phone with Sprint again and they said they are making a ticket with their engineers.
Just picked mine up today from sprint. My buddy who is also on sprint made me aware that he was getting repeat sms from me already. It's funny because I would always complain that I was getting them from him before I jumped to sprint. He's on a LG G2 though.

Don't get me wrong.. the phone is absolutely amazing. I love it. I can't go back to my Moto X, which to me was one of the best Android phones ever made. Again, what people don't understand is this is a REAL issue. People are very quick to say that "bad service" caused it. We're all smart enough to know that if you have bad service, 1 or 2 duplicates can happen, on occasion. Not repeatedly in a full service area or on WiFi.
As an Update:
Everything Sprint tried has failed. However, my original debug information holds true:
1. If the phone is set to 3G mode only: The problem is SOLVED.
2. If the phone is on WiFi, AFTER being set to 3G mode only: The problem is SOLVED.
3. If the phone is set to LTE mode only: The problem REMAINS, unless you are in a no LTE service area and revert to 3G or less.
4. If the phone is on WiFi, AFTER being set to LTE mode only: The problem REMAINS.

I just posted my issue.
Hey there.
I am experiencing some issues with recieving calls. The phone is randomly dropping calls when I hit the answer. Instead of making the connection. I unlocked the bootloader installed google play edition rom and the issue is gone.
I want my phone running sense rom not the google rom so anyone knows how to solve this?
Is this on Sprint? I experience the exact same thing. But I've narrowed it down to when I get calls from other Sprint phones. Land lines and other carriers my phone picks up just fine, but whenever someone calls me from a Sprint account it drops as soon as I hit accept. Is it true that your issue goes away when you are running GPE ROM?
Sent from my 831C using XDA Free mobile app
I figured out what the issue was/is. It's a known issue with Google voice integration. Was on the phone with a CSR and they disabled GV integration on my account and Sprint calls started to connect. Even better is all of a sudden my HD voice calls worked and wow what a difference. You can find the thread on the GV support pages.

not working
Yesterday I upgraded to 5.1 by flashing the factory images (no userdata wipe). Everything is running great except messaging is all over the place (I'm on T-mobile). I never received duplicate messages on 5.0.1 and now I'm getting them constantly. Also, now when I receive MMS messages (using Google Messenger) I get the "failed to download - click to retry" crap all the time that fails to download. Again, this never happened on 5.0.1.
Is anyone else seeing these issues since upgrading? Is this a T-mobile issue on the server side? Or is this something caused by me not wiping userdata (I doubt it unless it screwed with the APN, which looks normal).

I saw posts reporting this as an issue for Sprint users but I hadn't seen any for T-mobile yet. Thanks for the heads up. I'm guessing if it's widespread than it's likely an issue on the carrier side.
If I remember correctly, people were able to correct the issue by toggling off the "enhanced lte mode" in carrier settings.
I've been having this issue too any one know if toggle enhanced LTE fixes the problem ?

I turned off enhance LTE and I'm getting MMS from everyone but people on att weird
Yes!! Definitely an issue here. My MMS is all over the place. Some messages come through, others are dropping. If you try to dial "611" to connect to T-Mobile, it fails every time! Turning off enhanced LTE fixes the issue. Seems to be a carrier side problem indeed.
Exact same issues here. Also on tmobile, hoping they fix this soon.
Also have been getting duplicates and texts all over. Really hope its a server issue and not 5.1
Very sick of this error. I send double texts and get quadruple back. Stock unrooted 5.1 userdata wiped via fastboot.
Everyone, please comment on this bug report I filed with Google. This will help give us an answer.

Well, I did Google searches yesterday when this was occurring for me and saw plenty of reports, including the Apple forums, lol. I wasn't able to receive text messages for hours after I was receiving duplicate for hours. Later in the evening I suddenly got over 30 texts that had been sent to me throughout the day. My fiance had the same issue on her moto x. Her parents had the same issues on their gs5s and had this weird Nokia message handling error when receiving MMS.
Ok everyone figured I'd come here to where the experts live. Haven't been here in awhile.
Recently my S8, wifes S8, and our sons S8+ all have the same issues.
The first issue is texts get stuck "sending". This happens with WiFi on or off, with wifi calling on or off, and I even tried changing off LTE to just 4G/3G/2G and even 2g in settings to see if that would help. I'm on the latest firmware from TMO ending in QEF, well we all are.
The other one is apps like FB and others aren't alerting but they will show the number of alerts even after they've been checked. I've reinstalled these apps and the problem persists, and then I can reboot my phone or wifes phone and all the alerts start working again for awhile and then die eventually.
The texting issue though persists and is random when it will hang and when it doesn't.
According to TMO rep at the store it's a bug in the firmware with bixpy that was pushed out, but I frankly don't buy it and figured I'd hit the guru's up here and see if you guys have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance guys and gals....
I too have had the random "texts get stuck sending" issue. I haven't had it in a while though (now that I've said that I'm sure I will).
I unfortunately don't have any suggestions.
I ended up using googles version of messages due to this. Only on stock text app do i have any problems anymore. I also noticed on the stock app that my phone would say "sending" when the other side would actually get it, but it was at random.
You don't have a cellspot repeater or router do you? Last time I had it, my device was hung and needed reboots. Just a thought.
Thanks for the feedback, yes I have a cell spot, but I also have the issue other areas of town too with no real specific place thatbit always happens.
I'm going to reverse back from the qef firmware and see if that resolves things. This has been so annoying, and it just started about two weeks ago.
Thanks again everyone.
I have had the same issue with sending texts too. I have been using the stock messenger app. I may just switch to textra.
Same issue here. A temporary fix, try turning on airplane mode and off. Works for me a times
Also happening to me on the XAA firmware (have unlocked NA variant) with the stock messaging and Google messages.
So I'll ask the question begging to be asked (at least by me): How does one disable this messaging app and use "stock messaging" app?

So I'll ask the question begging to be asked (at least by me): How does one disable this messaging app and use "stock messaging" app?

Just get a app disabler for Samsung from play store like BK Disabler.
If I were you, just download Android Messages. It's simple and fast.
However, I do not recommend disabling stock messaging, unless you don't like getting EAS (Amber/Weather/Presidential Alert)
Having the exact same issues and it's driving me crazy because I really like this phone. I don't get notifications for any of my apps but when I open them I can see the new messages. A reset seems to fix the problem but it only lasts about an hour before it starts doing the same thing. I've tried using different messaging apps but the same thing. And the fact that I don't get notifications for other apps it can't just be a text messaging issue right?
Happened to me for almost 2 months but haven't had an issue in about a week. Called t mobile, they created a ticket and said they'll be working on it. Few days after speaking to them, problem went away.
This has been happening intermitantly for me as well. It's been bad the past three days. I'm currently in coversations with T-mo's engineering team and they seem to be coming up with a bunch of dead ends. It's not a location based thing as it's been happening over a 20 mile radius in the past few days for me. Other people on T-mo network that I'm freinds with or I work with aren't having any problems. I'm wondering if just a fresh SIM card could solve it?
I have data connection although it seems a little sluggish compared to when I originally got the phone. Similar to OP I've tried all the "G's" modes, with wifi calling on, with it off, with cellular network preffered with wifi calling on and off. With Textra, with stock messaging app. I've factory reset to no avail. I've pulled and re-inserted the SIM card to no avail. This is incredibly frustrating for a flagship phone on a network where I've had no previous issues.
UPDATE: T-Mobile sent me a new SIM card and that seems to have cleared up the issues. Not sure if it just hapened to coincide with T-Mo tower fixes or anything else like that in my area but I'm back to normal operation. Anybody else experiencing this I recommend you push customer service to send you a new sim.
my husband and i are having a strange issue where we can message pictures and video clips to other people that don't have the s8, or aren't on tmobile and they'll send and receive just fine, but when we try to send to each other, the first attempt to send fails, but the second attempt goes through?
