Duplicate Texts or Getting Them Late?

I don't know if this is a sprint network problem or what but ever since the newest PRL update in my area I am getting doubles and triples of texts from my contacts and sometimes not getting them at all until maybe 2 hours later which is very inconvenient I must say. Anyone else experiencing this or have any suggestions? I've called sprint about it but all they say is they will refresh my signal which doesn't help...

I was getting them too, I think Sprint is having issues with sms

are you getting that today? I have this problem every few days. Taking the battery out and restarting the phone doesn't always fix the problem

This is from today. Within 15 mins lol

Is the prescription for a person with multiple personalities? That could be why.... Just saying....

malware

I came to the forum last night to look around. .. And Google Chrome kicked me out screaming about malware....
This is the first time it happened last night. ...
Any one else ever get this?
I was on my desktop pc about 130 am or so..

Yep got the same message last night, I ran a scan last night after logging off, nothing found though.

Hmmmm. I wonder if they added an upgrade to the servers or if it had bad advertising on the site

More than likely just a bad ad, this happens to me occasionally from time to time on other forums as well and that's always been the case.

Happened to me as well.. Something going on within this xda site off internet browsers..chrome kicked me out saying malware alert..from site....
I had to go into settings and advance settings..and click off enable malware phishing setting ..which ibdint want to leave off.. What's going on with xda now?

Me too. I got so pissed I deleted Google chrome .I was in the middle of several things.And all is well now. I'm not going to fool with chrome anymore any way its too heavy to me .

What browser could you possibly be comparing it to? Opera mini, for gods sake. Lol! Chrome is by far the lightest and fastest

Ok this is not a di€k swinging contest. ..my question is. ... Why did the site spew a malware warning?

not sure either but taking off Chrome worked for me also. Maybe it was a type of conflict with the site...

Not receiving some text messages

Hi there,
I was texting a friend recently and I found out that I wasn't getting some of the messages they sent me. They were not limited to just text messages, but MMS as well. Is there anybody else having a similar issue?
I also sometimes get the "message could not be sent" notification, more often than usual. I have done a device restart but I don't think there has been any difference.

I always have 4G at my house and school, which are the only places that I've been recently. Generally I'm around 3 bars.

This is a known issue with tmobile. Especially when sending texts to Verizon phones.

That's exactly the issue. The person I am texting is on Verizon with an iPhone. It's getting quite annoying now. Is there anyway to overcome this?

Phone sending multiple texts

Has anyone else had a problem with their phone sending multiple texts after updating to JB? Everyone keeps getting mad at me for sending 4 or 5 texts almost every time I text them.

Sometimes yeah. Mostly with Verizon people

I'm having other issues as well. Not just that but my text will set themselves as read just from reading one or unlocking my screen. Also when I open a thread it will freak out and start scrolling up uncontrollably. And lags bad if I have a lot of different text. I keep having to delete to keep it stable. very frustrating

The sending multiple texts thing is a known issue on the Sprint network right now, so nothing to worry about for that, but if it is truly scrolling up without you touching it, then it is probably a bad touch screen. I have seen it twice before with this phone.

Multiple text messages are are caused by the network. Usually in poor coverage areas is where I notice it the most. One day I got the same message from a friend 27 times in an area with crappy service.

I don't have any other issues with the touch screen and havnt had this specific issue with messaging till the update.
That's not the only issue. Selecting all my unread text as read just from reading one. If I don't pay attention to the other bold text before opening one I'll forget lol. I have terrible memory.

I do have really bad service at my house so that could be the problem.

I think it only happens when I send a short one or two word text when I send a sentence or more it goes through right away.

If it's really really bad, call customer service and complain and ask for an Airave. It's basically a mini-cell tower that works over your internet connection (assuming you have one). If they won't budge, ask for the termination people. complain there. Make sure you get the device for free, the line for free, and the activation for free. It is a SIGNIFICANT improvement over bad service. Without it, my calls would drop about 75% of the time; the other 25% of my calls would be unintelligible.

Problem with sms

This is my first post so be easy with me please. I have been running CM11 snapshots on my T-Mobile galaxy sIII for a long while and so far so good. However as of last three months or so I have had some serious issues with sms. I'm not sure if it is a carrier/network issue or perhaps a cm issues maybe it's not even on my side but when I get text messages from one particular contact, who uses an iPhone, every couple of messages end with the world "null." Usually it's a long message and I only receive the first half and then it ends with "null." I have tried numerous different sms apps like hangouts and sliding cm messaging, but I typically prefer the stock sms app. I'm not sure what to do to fix it and I haven't found anybody else with this issue. It's really frustrating to have to ask this contact to resend messages multiple times just to get the jist of what they're saying. I hope there's a solution. I have flashed new snapshot of CM and I just recently updated the modem. Everything else works perfectly just this sms issue is bugging me.
PS. I've tried a clean install and the problem is still present. I had posted a screen shot over in the cm forums but because I am a noob to Xda I can't post external links yet.
Thanks for any help!*

Do they have alternative sms apps for the iphone? Ask your friend to try a few and see if that helps.

No alternative sms apps that I know of. My friend just uses the stock iPhone sms app.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'm pretty sure its an Apple problem, and they refuse to address it because they know many will blame Android and hopefully switch to their iPhone. You should be able to find some articles on it with a google search.

I mean I'm sure that's a possibility. Whatever it is I hope it gets resolved soon. I've tried searching under multiple terms and I've only come across similar incidents like mine with blackberries from few years ago. So I haven't seen anything with an iPhone causing this kind of sms issue. Also thanks for all of your input.

This is what I was referring to, but it seems its not exactly the same as your problem.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/apple-holding-ios-users-hostage-with-imessage-flaw/
Still, ask your friend to turn off iMessage in their Settings and see if that helps.

I remember reading that entry about the iMessage bug. I owned an iPhone about four years ago, it was the 3g. It was before iMessage was created too. I don't think that's the problem but still I wouldn't rule it out. I'll make sure that my friend has iMessage turned off.

If you use it on anything it can cause problems. So if you have a mac or tablet and are using it there, make syre to sign out or disable it there as well.

Thanks for all the help. I lucked out and got an invite for the oneplus one. So I'm using that now and so far no problems at all. If I very get any invites to give away I'll check back with you to see if you want one. Thanks again.

The Damn bug is back again!! I finally found something about it on the T-Mobile forums. Apparently it's not an isolated problems. A lot of people have the same issue that I am having with a similar setup. So what it's boiling down to is that it is a t-mobile issue with how they handle sms over 160 characters. I'm not sure if this can be fixed by changing some values in the apn settings but I'm gonna see what I can find out.

I would not believe this, I've been using T-Mobile for many, many years and have never had this problem when sending or receiving long messages. I think its either their carrier or device

Well yeah I've been with Tmo for at least the past ten years. I've never had any bug like this. I'm gonna go ahead and day that's it's not a device problem. I've now experienced the issue with multiple devices. Also in different forum entries people have cited receiving the bug from multiple carriers with various iPhone and android devices. Furthermore it can't be a coincidence that the null bug popped up around the same time for many users. Sorry if I sound rude, I really don't mean to. I really appreciate the input and help.

No offense taken.. Usually when I receive texts from friends using other carriers that are long they are split and I receive them separately but no null at the end.. It still sounds carrier related to me tbh, no way so many phones would just start messing up sending or receiving long messages.. It's either one or the other.. Of course this is just my opinion.. After you have made sure you have correct APN, returned to stock firmware, made sure you are using stock SMS app to confirm same issue, there's really not much left to troubleshoot besides calling T-Mobile to reset your account, or for them to admit they are having issues

Yeah same here, usually when I receive long text messages they're split. I think you're right, it's carrier related. I've chatted with T-Mobile reps twice now and they basically blamed AT&T and took no responsibility. I've always used the stock sms app to avoid any issues and I verified that I apn I'm using is correct. So I guess all I can do is wait and hope it works itself out. Also what do you mean by reset my account?

Actually, if it were your device or T-Mobile, it would be happening with more than just one of your contacts. I still believe the issue is on their end, not yours.

their end being the person sending you the messages. either its their device or their carriern
