So I've been using GO SMS Pro for almost two months now. Early on I got tired of getting messages within the app as well as through my stock messaging app. I used NoBloat Free to disable the stock MMS.apk and that eliminated the duplicate messages.
However, I had a friend tell me repeatedly that he had sent me a picture message and I wasn't getting them. I could send them without problem, but I couldn't receive them. So I decided to re-enable the stock MMS.apk and it started working again.
Is there anyway to avoid the duplicate messages and still be able to receive MMS? Should I be using a different messaging app? I like the GO SMS more than the stock messaging app.
Just disable notifications in the stock sms app. That's what I do when I use another app.

Well I guess that would eliminate the duplicate notifications, but they are still "there". Even after re-enabling the stock messaging app I had 438 messages waiting. I worry this is slowing down the phone because they all build up. If I could receive MMS without the stock messaging app I'd be fine.
Yes, I've noticed every time that i restart my phone it says i have whatever amount of messages from the stock app, but i redirected it so that when i go to view it just goes to go SMS pro

I guess I could just redirect it to GO SMS. Does anyone know of a better remedy though?
Could I use Titanium Backup to freeze the stock messaging app? Or would I end up with the same result as I did using NoBloat free?
I have the same "problem". when I send one text message .. the receiver will get 2 messages from me . :|
with older go sms I don;t have any problems
Same problem for me. Send 1=sends 2.

GO sms Pro, sent message
Samsung Galaxy S2, same problem with 1 message sendt via GO SMS Pro = 2 received messages for the receiver..
Somebody know the solution for this? Is the problem within the GO SMS application?
Same problem for me..
Same with me , 1=2 , GS2. It forced me to switch to another messaging app. And go sms is the best one
Had the same problem. Just update your Go sms pro app to newest version from google play.

I just got a new Galaxy S3 and installed Go SMS Pro. My problem is slightly different. The person i send the message to doesn't get double messages. But I get double messages from the sender. I just installed this app 5 min ago so i assume i have the latest version. Any ideas out there? Thanks.

Guys, about 90% of the time when i send a text message, of any size, to anyone, i get a 'message can not be sent' notification and the phone vibrates, this happens about 2-7 times before the text message is sent, and for each time it tries to send the text again, this amount is send to the recipient, for example if it retries 7 times i will send the message 7 times - very annoying
when using the froyo rom from both paul and richardtrip i did not have this issue, although i am almost certain this was due to the stock messaging app, i even tried using handcent on the froyo which i used on the stock and on the froyo it worked perfectly too, but handcent will not work on the stock rom.
so it seems to me that it is an issue with either the stock (sense based) rom or the htc messaging app
im on tmobile UK on a branded phone, this happens on any radio, both rooted and unrooted
does anyone have any advice, or know of a way to replace the htc messaging app with the stock android messaging app?
if i could get this sorted id be very happy, so i appreciate any help
thanks in advance
I've had this issue happen a couple of times aswell, not sure how to replicate it, it seems totally random, but i haven't seen a 90% change of getting it!
try a new radio lol
This happens to me if I use any messaging system other than the default one (e.g. handcent or chomp) and the signal changes whilst sending the message (i.e. H to 3G or E to G etc. etc.)
I am still using the default rom with the latest update as I am waiting for 2.2 before rooting
turn off GRPS/EDGE/ 3G Data

Had exactly the same problem on stock/sense based verions of romms. NEver had an issue on stock android messaging app, only with the sense one. Think it must be a bug with that app. I'm T-mo in UK to but have an unbranded phone.
dont resend it, just wait until the message is sent, the phone resends automatically, because if you click the resend, it will send another message. what i do is when i get that error message i just wait.
I'm getting this problem on my o2-uk Desire; they are sending me a replacement handset

Thanks everyone for your replies
So it is confirmed that it is an issue with the HTC messaging app but not with the stock android messaging app, and no messaging clients can fix this as they use the default messaging app.
Is there anyway to change the HTC messaging app with the stock android? I prefer it anyway it works much better, the official froyo release will also contain the stock messaging app which I guess will have the same problem.
I will try flashing a different radio
Setting the phone to WCDMA only does not fix the issue
I am having this problem, and also another which I feel might be related, it tries to resend the message, and it eventually goes. I have also noticed that quite a number of times when I try to make a call, it doesnt dial, it just goes silent and returns to the call register screen. Maybe both related to a siganl problem . Somebody suggested switching off Edge or whatever, but thats not really a fix, and why should you have to do this to send a text. ?

I agree, and I also experience the same problem, sometimes during a phone call the most strange sounds happen and then the call cuts out, I'm guessing is interference. Problems with calls, text messages, and the connection repeatedly drops when using the mobile internet, exactly the same problems as the hd2, they will not get fixed by HTC, speaking from experience.. very basic requirements of a phone still not being met
I have the exact same issue with both texts and calls that seem to take ages to connect and then just dump me back to the dialer. I've put it down to O2 being so awful but of people have the same issues on other networks id love to know

Same here. I did the resending thing for a while, but now I just ignore those error notifications. The text messages arrive anyway

same. I get it 10% of the time. On a unlocked Desire with a UK T-Mobile contract. just leave it to send a couple times, put your desire on a window sill and it should be okay.
but i think the message is not automatically sent if you lock the phone. can anyone confirm this? my unsent message was still not sent when i locked my phone.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, i used to get this issue all of the time when using handcent or chomp. However, since doing the following i've not had it happen once in 2 weeks (where it would happen 10+ times a day before)
1) uninstall any messaging software you have downloaded from the market
2) download sms unread count and sms popup from the market
3) put the sms unread count widget on the homescreen
4) configure sms popup to your liking
5) send messages to your heart's content
This uses the default 'messages' app rather than anything else and works perfectly

i also have the problem with the unsent messages and undialled calls, tmo uk contract phone.
I keep getting a notification from all the different SMS apps I have tried that is called "Hidden Sender Address". When you click on it, it takes you to the app but not to a message. Chomp SMS indicates it is an MMS message. I cant find any unread message in the stock app or any aftermarket ones.
Regardless, I cant find it to delete and it wont stop showing up in the notification bar. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this?

OP, have you been able to fix this issue? I just received the update to Jellybean and am currently suffering from the same issue. I have tried deleting all messages and clearing the app cache but haven't been able to get rid of this notification.
I'm actually receiving the same false notification and it started today for no reason other than opening an mms. On galaxy s3 CM10 preview
Nope...havent found an official fix. If I use Chomp, it doesnt appear. GO and Handcent and it shows back up anytime I receive a new message.

If you're using a 3rd party messenging app, disable the auto-retrive MMS. Go to Stock messenger and enable auto-retrieve MMS.
I use Chomp and this fixed the problem for me. Hope it helps.

Yes this is how I got around it but I couldnt find the options in Go or Handcent to disable MMS retrieval. So I am stuck with Chomp which is not the best of the three IMO.
Just started getting this today as well on GO SMS. Easiest fix- Option key, More, Mark All Read. Cleared them out for me and the notifications thay wouldn't go away are gone.

In handcent you can go to "receiving message settings" and disable auto retrieve. My sister uses handcent and hasn't received any MMS problems since.
Hey guys. I had this pop up last night after receiving 2 MMS in a row. Setting the auto retrieve off did not fix it but "mark all read" did. Just to let you all know.
I am on Motorola Atrix CM10 4.1.1 using Handcent
I believe there is a feature to mark certain contacts/conversions as secret. That I'd what that notification is. Look in your settings for something that refers to that. Those messages don't go to inbox but separate folder. Think you might have to password them to access.

I think what you are talking about is the private inbox. Those still come up and go away just like normal text messages except they bounce to the private box. That is not what we are talking about here though

Just wanted to say thanks for this. I have a Galaxy S III and started getting this as soon as I got 4.1 on my phone, drove me nuts. Just googled hidden sender address and found this thread.
Hidden Sender Address notification !!!FIX!!!
I was having this problem the other day after installing a jellybean messaging app. It worked fine for a day or so then I started getting "Hidden Sender Address" all the time and then wasn't even able to delete my texts. I would delete the entire conversation and it would still show that there was a conversation there, but it was all empty.
I contacted at&t to see if they had any ideas and the only thing they could come up with was factory reset. Screw that I knew there had to be another way. I'll never trust them completely!
I contacted the creator of the app and this is what he had me do and it did work:
If you have root you can clear the DB by deleting this file (apparently):
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Of course that will delete all your SMS and MMSs, but you can
(hopefully) back them up to gmail and restore them afterwards using
SMS Backup+.

Why cant he just update the app to fix this issue?
Any news on this fix by the developer?
FIX!!!!
OK Everyone. I have resolved this issue on my Galaxy SIII and your are more than welcome to replicate this but beware, you may lose your SMS history.
First you can either delete all SMS. I didn't want to do this for obvious reasons.
Second, scroll all the way to the bottom of all your SMS. If like me you have oodles of them this might be annoying and take a while. At the bottom I found a sender called 'ANONYMOUS'!!!! Sounds ominous doesn't it.
I deleted this thread and since then I have nto had this message appear. ALTHOUGH.... i lost all my SMS as a result.... LOL whoops. bug time!
Please note. I also disabled auto download MMS, cleared badgeholder cache (which temporarily works), readded SMS icon and disabled google hangout from picking up SMS and neither of these permanently resolved the issue but feel free to try these first as you probably should do as they are non destructive.
:good:
This is kind of weird. I'm using AOKP Play Milestone 6 with LuPuS v4. I used the Verizon Messaging App from the Play store for a while but it just looks horrible to me, I was able to send and recieve MMS messages on that app, same with GO SMS Pro. I wanted to go back to the stock messaging app, but MMS won't send at all. I started to send a photo to a friend of mine, then left for class. I got back and it still says sending. I'm pretty sure there's a problem if a phone tries to send a message for over an hour. After two tries, I attempted to send it on the Verizon app and it worked. It never failed, it just says Sending. I'm also curious about this one.
The Verizon Messaging app has this neat feature where it'll say that a text was sent, and when the phone I texted has actually received the message in realtime. Can I enable that on any other messaging app? I'm asking because those "Phone Received Message" icons actually show up on the stock messenger.
As for your first problem, i don't know but perhaps you could try googling it.
For the second one, i'm not quite sure if this is what you mean but you can get a delivery status report on the stock messaging app although i have the R800i.

Oh okay, thanks for the second issue! I didn't know the name of it, I would have had it forever ago. Still having an issue with sending photos on the stock messaging app unfortunately...
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I tried disabling wifi and that didn't work, my mobile data is on as well. I tried going to a website then sending, still stuck on "sending."
EDIT2: Just bought this app and it won't send mms photos either...

Now I REALLY don't want to go back to GO SMS because I spent money on this one. I love this iPhone type app, but I just wanna send MMS...

I love Mighty Text - lets you send/receive SMS/MMS from PC just as if it was sent from phone and it even shows up in your phone.
It's great, but ever since I got my note 3 I can't get MMS to send through Mighty Text. I can send MMS through phone.
I also have Handcent SMS on the phone but that wasn't a problem with my S4 or previous phones.
Anyone have this issue or better yet a solution?
Obviously it's not critical sending text through MightyText still works but I'd like to be able to send MMS that way again.
Thanks

I have Note 3 and same issue. MMS is not sending.
If you are on Wifi, data must also be enabled for MMS to work. I am using Handcent.
Sent from my rooted Note 3 (N900T) using XDA Premium
I'm not using Handcent or any other text app and I'm having the same issue. Galaxy S3, Android 4.3 and MightyText 4.62. Any tips? Mobile Data is on but can't send group messages or MMS picture messages from the Chrome Web App. All I see if the little clock in the corner and that the message is pending. On the phone I have tried lots of things. Uninstall/Reinstall, Restart, unlink/link, clear cache and data. No dice. Any ideas appreciated.
Possible solution?
I'm on a Note 2, using Handcent and MightyText, and was having the same problem. The following seemed to help: in Handcent settings, I made Handcent my default program for MMS only (when it was default for both SMS and MMS, they didn't go through to MightyText). Hope this helps.
I also cannot send MMS/group message on the computer. I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
I am running Kitkat on VZW HTC One.
I tried Hand (job) Cent but was not too impressed with the fact about when folks sent me MMS messages. It would want me download them.

It took me five minutes to figure out what all the settings mean and how they work. Maybe because I'm (23 years) old... too old for these tech gadgets. And MightyText still doesn't work for MMS/group message

Did anyone come up with a solution to this as I'm hitting the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.3? Everything else works really well - just cannot send MMS or Group messages (which I believe are sent as MMS too).
Have a support ticket open but ~2 weeks now and no reply.

I'm getting the messages on chrome telling me that its not connected and not working right. I have to keep resyncing them. Ahh it used to work so smooth.

Folks, I have had some issues since changing to my LG G4 from Apple. My first complaint is that I am part of a group message and have not been getting that, I only saw where someone replied to the original message but I never received that message, also, I've tried to text a customer twice and it just will not go thru yet he is able to text me regulary, can anyone chime in here to explain this to me and how it can be fixed possibly?

Allow me to recommend Messenger. It is from Google and is my go-to texting app. I've never had any issues with it.
I will try Messenger and see what happens, thanks.
I use Textra with no issues. Just make sure to allow it to be your default messenger application. I've tried a few apps and if you have found that if you have more than one messaging app installed on the phone, all of them will be able to receive texts, only the one you have selected to be your default application will be able to send texts.
