Hi, I have experienced some strange sms problems with my htc tp2. I heard people talk about an sms bug, but I don't know if this is the same thing...
Aparently, my tp2 sends the same messages over and over to some persons. So if I send a new sms, he just sends the same message every time... The problem appears to be selective. I mean, only some of my friends get the same sms over and over from me, others don't.
The problem seemed to be gone when deleting al sms history of that person, but now, it just started again...
It's really annoying, as I don't know if people get my sms'es or not :s
plz help if you can! I would appreciate it!
grtz
Nobody? Could it be PIM backup that messes up my sms'es?
I noticed that if I delete the sms history of the person before sending a new sms, it works fine...
The strange thing is, it's always the same sms. Every time I sent an sms, without deleting the history, he sends the same message... :s
plz help!
Could it be that the message gets stuck in the outbox and the device is attempting to re-send it?
Im not 100% on this.
But im pretty sure its something to do with the service provider. Ive had this problem on many devices, from many manufacturers, on many service plans.
But like i said, not 100% sure. So dont hold me to it
The strange thing is that it's just some of my contacts who experience the problem...
i really appreciate the threaded messages in android phones but i have a strange experience with it once in a while. When you text back and forth you get all these messages in like a chat form following the order of the conversation but sometimes i would all get my messages in a cluster while the response of my friend would be thrown somewhere in the beginning or at the end. I have no problem with sending and receiving but they sometimes don't come in the right order. I don't know if i have explained myself well or if you guys can see my problem. Anyway if anyone has the same experience and a solution i would really appreciate that. Thanks
I don't text that much but I noticed if I receive a reply the same minute I sent the text the order will be messed up. Haven't found nor looked for a solution yet, doesn't happen that often to bother me.
i got the same problem... but no solution
I had created groups within my Google contacts to better organize them. One group I had was "Co-Workers". I later decided to eliminate that group.
I then started noticing that every time I reply to a text from one of the people that was originally in the Co-Workers group, it would send it to EVERYONE that was in the group - about 15 people. However, if I start a new message to that person instead of just replying it only goes to him and no one else.
Is there something else that needs to be cleared such as a cache I'm not aware of? Again, the group was eliminated from within Google. I originally had Handcent and thinking that that may be the problem, I eliminated it and am just using the stock messaging. This is very annoying because I start receiving messages from all of these other people wanting to know what I'm talking about. PLEASE HELP!
Certain threads delete when i try and others don't. I'm sure it is related but I can't receive pic mail. Any advice?
Hello. I'm need of help. My samsung s6 keeps receiving and seems to sending texts to and from certain contacts over and over again. Sometimes for a few hours but as long as a full day sometimes. I dont know what is happening. I was able to block texting to those contacts and it seemed to stop. Texts with these contacts was typically in a group text (mms) and would happen daily. I noticed that when we would group text sometimes some of the messages would stay pending "download" and even after several attempts to dowload it the message would just stay pending so i would just ignore it. But later in the day and/or very late that night i would start receiving all these messages which seem to be the same ones over and over again. Much more people were letting me know that they were receiving texts messages from me. Its gotten to the point where at times i just shut down my phone overnight and pray that it clears up by morning. It had been. Any help you can point me to would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Are they texts that you have composed or has your account been hacked?

thank you for reaching out so quickly. They are texts that i have composed. At least those i can see. Its like they pop back up as a group text somehow and the messages keep coming even if i delete the group text.

No problem. I did some research via Google and found that a fair number of people have reported the same problem (across all networks, Verizon and T-Mobile as well as Sprint) with the following results:
1) The issue seems to be tower related, so the first thing that you should do is report it to Sprint. They'll tell you that you are crazy, can't happen...stick with the report and hope that someone takes it seriously.
You can point to: https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/86838?tstart=0 and http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/425621-duplicate-text-messages.html and https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/558872
2) To try to fix it yourself, update PRL and Profile. If that doesn't solve it, switch to a 3rd party texting app.
If I did nothing else, hopefully I assured you that you are sane and your phone isn't haunted. Best of luck.
Thank you so much for your help. I seriously thought I was going insane. Actually thought all this was "Normal". I'm not very android savvy so can you tell me what PRL is? Sorry haven't read Cell Phones for Dummies yet. I appreciate the links. I will definitely follow up. Someone told me that I may have to do a "Factory Reset"?

if it's a group message you're included in, I believe you need to have the other contacts in the group remove you from it.

Hello elesbb.
Since I recently just found out a few days ago that all this was happening, I spoke to the contacts on the group text and they confirmed that they were receiving most if not all of these repeated group texts. So we decided to stop the group text, and I put a text block on their numbers and the repeat texts have stopped. But I'm afraid if I take off the text block Im gonna have the same problem. What I did typically see that I had many repeated copies of the texts that were either attempting or failed to download. I would get this sometimes all evening and late into the night/morning. I really dont' know what to do. I'm in the process of contacting sprint today to see if its a system or network issue.
