Duplicate Texts or Getting Them Late? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

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....

[Q]Delayed SMS problems?

Is anybody else having issues with other people getting delayed texts sent from galaxy s ii?
I am sending to att iPhone and they have been getting delayed texts. Never had issue with HTC sensation so I am assuming this is a galaxy s ii issue.
Can Anyone confirm this?

To confirm again, my gf got some text from me 4 hours late...gonna reboot my phone to see if that helps

Mine are not delayed... Sent to my roommate's iPhone 4 when he was sitting next to me on the couch. I love Swype's censoring when you use speech to text. I think my message went something like:
"Why do you keep f****** keep censoring my *** d*** texts you piece of s*** keyboard!!"
That was the end of my childish exploits, but hey, he wanted to see the feature
if you got your sim card upgrade they there might be some delay for awhile. should be fine after 30min-1hr.

Is it on wifi this whole time?
I tried both. Wifi and 4g. Same result. My gf is on att and had been getting them delayed. If I swap my sum Sim to sensation, the problem is gone so it has to be gsii and how it sends SMS.

I am not experiencing delay and i text all the time.

I think I have the same thing happening. It's hit or miss though not every message is delayed. Btw the gf is also on att.
Same thing happening here. Most texts go through fine, but some have been delayed, or didn't ever show up. I'm going to call T-Mobile tomorrow...
I am using my old Sim from Sensation. Are you guys using the old Sims or new Sim that came with galaxy ii. Just curious If that might be a issue.

Oh ok. I just went to Tmobile and
got the new Sim which is required for sgii. Let's see if this resolves the problem. Will keep you guys updated.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
any updates? Co-worker just got a GS2 and is having a delay on incoming texts, not so much with outgoing. We're both on tmo, i sent him 3 texts about 15 minutes apart took him around 3 hours for the first one and never got the other 2 before we left work, if he sends me one comes through immediately.
that's a service provider network problem, not a PHONE problem
if i sent to people on the same network, they receive it instantly
if i sent to people on a different network, they get it in a second or two

Any resolution to this issue?
For me the problem resolved itself, but I ended up getting a new SIM card from T-Mobile anyway, just to be on the safe side. It doesn't happen to me anymore.

Any body else getting the message not sent error a lot

I dont know what's up... I have full bars are the time and regularly get 20mb download speeds. But for some reason I keep getting the message not sent error and I have to press the " ! " button 1 maybe 2 times quite a few times every day. Anybody have a fix or know why it does this? Thanks a lot guys

I had this problem on my vibrant SO MUCH (like maybe 15 texts per day did this). Then I had it on my Galaxy S 4G (less but still alot). Now I rarely have it on my Galaxy S 2. No idea what could cause this issue but it seems to be getting better down the generations lol
I've had only about.......5 since I got my phone.
Yes, lately I've been getting alot. Mostly while im on my wifi calling is on.

on my galaxy S 2, it might happened maybe 3-4 times since the 3 months I've had the phone
Yup.
Happens to me on a frequent basis. I have a launch release GS2 and it seems to happen to me on a frequent basis. I'm not sure what it is but it also happens a lot when it's converted to mms. I hope this gets fixed with ICS.

I had this happen to me a couple weeks ago. I called t-mo and told the rep what was going on. He told me to reset my phone and he did something on his end. After that I haven't had a problem since.

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.

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.

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.

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.
