Call your carrier, have them reset your line, describe them the situation and tell them you need everything reset on their end.

I have already done that and they said they don't see anything wrong on their end and gave me a ticket number so that they can try and resolve the problem

I have started seeing the same thing on my phone. I haven't had time to dig into it but I just flashed FreeGS3 last night and it started today. When I was full stock/rooted I never noticed a problem. It doesn't happen every time either. Are you on a custom rom? May not have anything to do with it, just a starting point for me.

Yes I am on a stock rom I haven't changed anything besides rooting the phone. My problem just started yesterday and hoping it get resolves really soon.

Has it been happening with every text you send, or is it kinda random? Mine seems to be random so far. Hopefully its a network issue on TMobiles side.
In case you don't know, in Messaging apps settings you can set it to request a delivery report for SMS and/or MMS. That way you can at least be sure if/when your texts go through. It will notify you when it is delivered.

It's not a Rom issue. It happened to me on stock. But it's fine in Philly now.

I don't think its a problem with the rom. I had just flashed it so wasn't sure at the time but I haven't had any issues with it today. Must have been on network side I guess.

That is a network issue. Try updating Prl and profile. Also try removing the battery for a few minutes. If it still happens call Sprint. They may be having issues with the tower closest to you.

I'm on cm7 so I can't update prl now but ill restore a tw backup if I have to. Ill try the battery for now since a reboot fixed it for all day yesterday hopefully taking out the battery for a few minutes will fix it for good lol.

I just had this same problem this morning..... on top of that, my phone thought it was 7:30 am when it was really more like 11:30 am.... definitely a sprint issue, but very weird indeed...
These all might be related to the Google server error.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Lol, I'm glad it isn't just me. But I went back to tw and am using the epic modem now ( was using the nexus) and it seems like everything is well up to now. Reallly scared the crap out of me when it happened tho, cuz when I thought it was just one person it was fine but when I got multiple txts it really confused me and I almost said the wrong things to the wrong ppl lol.
And the time error happened to me too. And my phone also said 7 30 lol. But it was actually like 6 30. And it reallly almost screwed me over cuz I was waiting for a bus and didn't know what time it was or when the bus came lol.

JB SMS Issues

Hey guys. I don't have an S3, but my brother does. He just got the jb ota this morning. I sent him a text once this morning, and he's gotten the same dupe text 15 times throughout the day. The remainder of my texts never sent through. I told him to clear caches and sms data, and of course a reboot. Nothing fixed it. Anyone else have this issue as well?
Thanks!

Is he using an Airrave? or an Airvana?
This has been happening to me all day, also happening to my mom. It seems that there is an Airvana outage.

I think we're onto something with this. My bro sent me an email this morning, said all 11 of my real texts came through this morning, when he went to work (presumably after getting out of airrave range).
I wonder if this is going to be an ongoing issue -- it'll be quite annoying.

Yes quite so. I just unplugged it. It was working just fine without it until about 2 hours ago when I stopped getting texts even without it. I am beyond annoyed.
I don't have an airrave or airvana but when I am roaming while at work, I get the same text multiple times and even updating the prl and profile doesn't seem to help. Only happens when I am roaming though.

Can't call the wife after odin to Jb

Last night i decided to odin to stock Jb because I had read that you should do this to ensure all partitions were flashed. I had already flashed new frosty rom with official jb base and everything was fine, but now for some strange reason my phone will not call my wife. As great as this sounds it is a problem as I do need to call her from time to time. She is not on the blocked call list and I have tried 2 different roms, frosty and infamous and both have the same result. It will start the call and get to half a ring and then hang up. I have wiped and re- wiped( getting sore from wiping so much) sorry couldn't resist. Any one have a clue how to fix. I have deleted her as a contact and tried dialing direct and nothing works.
Please help

I wish she did block me then she wouldn't complain about me not calling her.
I did odin back to JB stock with no root. And did a reset. First time I've had a phone without root for more then a few hours.
I went to tmobile and got new sim and still same problem. I can call her if I dial *67 first but dont want to do that.
Going to try to wipe her (my old) GS2 and see if that fixes the issue.

Some phones can set numbers to be blocked (accidentally) if you hold the end call bottun it can set that number to be blocked... check to see if she did block you...

have u tried swapping sim cards? not sure if it would answer anything but just trowing my 0.02 out there
Shoot man. Phone did you a favor.
Sounds like it is your wifes phone and not yours. The timing might have been coincidental.

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.

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
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
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.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.

Getting repeated texts...what?

Doesn't seem to matter the rom, I get text messages 2-3-4 plus times. Sometimes randomly. Ported my number from Verizon nearly a month ago.
Any thoughts? Is extremely frustrating trying to hold text convos.
Currently on wicked V4.

I had this happen to me as well, it's stopped now but I believed it to be rom/ kernel related if neither it's the sender as it's only happened from one person in particular that was running cm on a s2.. I'd do a clean install from wiping everything and going from there

I should have included that. It happens on touch wiz roms. Haven't tried cm.
Also happens from everyone. Regardless of verizon, att, sprint, tmobile.
So annoying lol. I have reinstalled and tried a few different roms.
Have not tried stock. Phone was rooted and modded the moment I got home from the store.

This sane thing was asked a while back. Has something to do with the port from previous carrier. Mainly from a CDMA carrier (Verizon/sprint). However, it is hit and miss, as I ported from sprint and have had zero issues. Even from all my friends on other networks. And my phone has been on almost every ROM made so far, with a multitude of mix and match kernels.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I didn't see that post. Can you link me or tell me what the fix was?
Is very frustrating. It doesn't happen at first, soon as it does it ramps up until I am getting the same text 10+ times randomly throughout the day.
Which when sending 100 texts on purpose back and forth becomes a nightmare quick.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
It may take me awhile to find it. It wasn't posted like yours. It was a question asked inside a thread totally unrelated, and someone from t mobile chinned in and said they have issues when numbers port sometimes. That it is just a waiting game until resolved.

Crap. Never mind. It was not receiving from other carriers.

I was way off. Are you using go SMS or any other 3 red party messaging app? I have seen it happen with go quite frequently. Of not, we may have to look at APN settings to see if you are using multiple, or maybe your number isn't accepting the message with an acknowledgement right away.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Ahhh gotcha. Don't have that problem.
I did at first. Thought like you did it was at fault. Had to fresh install last night, be the 2nd fresh install without installing go SMS.
Does it with the stock app.
I probably should call Tmo
