For some reason I'm getting peoples texts twice and some times even 4 times. Is it or has it happened to anyone? Btw Stock Rom, Stock messaging App. Rooted
That has happened to me sporadically with every T-Mobile phone I've owned.

Same here. It seems to happen when the service gets iffy. I think what it is is the service over compensating and trying to make sure you get the message because there might of been a chance you didn't so it resends it. I'm not expert but that's what I'm thinking.

I am rooted and have tried several different roms and all keep doing the same thing. I miss a bunch of text. Sometimes I will get them a few hours or a few days later or sometimes never at all, i did try a search and found nothing any help would be great.

Try ghostly sms in the market it should recover your missing texts.

should it just get the ones from now on or the old ones as well? I installed it but it says zero messages recovered.

Should get them from now on. When your phone misses a text message ghostly sms app will tell you if you recovered any missing texts and ask if you want to move it to your inbox

Desire HD with Lord C's 5.5 ICS Rom.
I've had a few problems with the rom so am doing a full wipe and upgrading to 6.1, with as few titanium backup restores as possible this time.
I've had a few texts not appear on my phone? They show up as sent on other people's phones but I don't get them? Happened twice in two days, with two different people (one from an iphone 3gs and another from an android, not sure what phone). I have hundreds of texts with these people and didn't ever experience this on gingerbread roms (I used ARHD and CM7 for about 6 months each).
Any idea what might cause it? I'm using stock sms app, and I'm about to do a full wipe and upgrade from 5.5 to 6.1.
I opened go SMS and didn't see them; they aren't on my phone and I don't receive notifications of them.
Thanks
I see you're on Orange. I would say that is your problem.
Nowadays it only happens every now and again. You should get the messages in a few days.

I'm not convinced; there was one that was sent on the 9th march that I haven't ever received, and I've only had the issues since ICS.

dropped texts are a very common problem across any network and phone. Lord knows how many fights ive had because of a text that said "do you miss me?" that i never got lmao. Anyways, what specific data are you restoring from backup with tibu? I'm sure the answer is no, but were these texts sent to you during your upgrade process of flashing the phone?
In the UK texts are actually really reliable; obviously you don't always know when they haven't delivered (orange charge like 3p per delivery report, no thank you to an extra £30.00 a month!) but I've never had anyone mention "oh, didn't you get my text" or feel that someone had ignored me pre-ics upgrade. I assumed that their phone was the problem, but after it happened several times I've decided it was me
No they weren't send/received during flash; I tend to flash a rom and then (as long as it's stable) stick with it. The last time I flashed a rom was a couple of weeks ago, and only as an upgrade.
TiBu is just restoring small things like wifi netwrosk and fruit ninja scores haha
Having full-wiped and restored SMS, call-log, re-setup accounts and got the majority of my apps all sorted, the phone seems quite stable. Had 2 reboots during the first hour or so but I think that's probably down to everything running for the first time, it seems rather stable now.
I've got alogcat running & saving logs to sd card so we can see what's causing any reboots if they occur too!
Ok so I had just received a text. Went to open from the notification bar and when I did it just took me to the message home screen saying "no conversations". I tried using Handcent to see if it was a glitch in default app but nothing there. Tried restarting and powering off phone. Nothing!
But what's weird is that there is no way in hell it could have actually deleted all those messages that fast (I had a 1500 message thread with one person alone). It's almost as if it just lost access to them.
Yes my phone is rooted and I believe I'm running one of the AOKP roms (been a while since I switched that's why I'm not completely positive)
Never had anything like this happen before, I know the messages have to be there somewhere, it's impossible for a phone this slow to just instantly delete over 2000-3000 messages.
Thanks for any help!

Dont quote me on it but i think text messages are stored in a database in the /data/data/com.android.messaging. I removed messaging from mine and use handcent so i cant really look. Just look for something in /data/data with messaging in the name.
I've had that happen on my original Droid a few times. I think it's caused by a low space thing, (which is extremely common on this device) and I've never found a way to get the texts back if they weren't backed up somewhere else. I agree with you that it's odd how quickly it can delete that many texts, though.

Thanks for the responses guys.
Cmlusco, Yea I checked /data/data and there was nothing there.
godsmacked, But shouldn't I have gotten a low space warning beforehand? My phone seemed fine at the time of doing this. But whatever, I had nothing important there that I needed.
But I still hate having lost all of them, maybe I'm just sentimental and liked having some of those convos. Especially since one was with a special girl (gay I know but whatever)
That happened to my friend who has an Inc as well. I don't see any way to get them back. SMS backup works I think or you can download go SMS to backup as well.

I can verify this happened to me several times using the stock OS. Never happened after I rooted/CM7'd it.
Hello All,
I been having problems with messaging on the S3 i got last month from T Mobile. It lags and a lot of time it says that the messages failed to send. When I send and receive a lot of texts, sometimes the contact list crashes and almost all the names revert back to numbers. ( some still retained their names for some reasons while others lost it) I have to restart the phone to get it back. Once the contact has stopped, I cannot access it until I restart my phone! Any comments or help would be greatly appreciate. Thank all, you guys are the best!!
Go back to the store you got it from and ask for a new one, and explain to them all the problems you are having with the phone. That is what i would do. The worst thing they can say is no.

Youre bone stock I would imagine? Try factory reset.. it might do the trick.

I've had issues with stuttering notification sounds - only when connected to my bluetooth deck in my car... not sure what's up with that...
Think I'm going to go the factory reset route and see if it does it right after a factory reset...
My phone also defected, but from North Korea.
Seriously though, I'd try to exchange it at a T-Mobile store.
If you have a ****load of messages this will happen. It used to happen on my i9300 when in Jellybean because it has a memory leak.

I do have a crap load of messages, and this happens more when i'm engaging in intense texting. Were you able to come up with the solution on your i9300? Thanks

No because on the i9300 the JB ROMs have a sloe memory leak in them compounded with the extra texts I had saved and more being stored I would run out of memory every few hours. I know before I deleted a couple threads on my T999 I would sometimes see a loading screen for messages or numbers for a split second instead of contact names.

So recently I've had an issue with SMS/MMS on my 2XL, it seems some messages are just not getting through to my phone. About 2 months back I had an issue where about 90% of the time I would go to text one specific contact (wife), the messages app (stock app) would crash or hang for an incredibly long period of time. This persisted for a few weeks of many clear cache/revert to old version of app/etc. Finally I just backed up the SMS, cleared all the messages, and then restored them and that seemed to have fixed the problem.
Now, I am missing text messages (per verbal conversation) from a couple of contacts (mom, wife, best friend). It seems 90% of them are coming in but then randomly a few won't make it, which I only discover because the conversation doesn't make sense or I never get a reply and then when we speak in person or on the phone they say "no, I responded immediately, you didn't get the message". The only thing these 3 contacts have in common is that they are probably the most common people I text by far, and the thread of messages is quite long at this point. I also don't know if I am missing messages from other contacts or groups because the whole I don't know what I don't know thing. I also now am getting a few random crashes of the messaging app each day, again it seems when texting my wife.
Anyone else experience this? It's pretty frustrating - figuring it may be a time for a total factory reset and start over but if this is a known issue with a known fix, I would love to avoid the hassle of setting the phone up again.
before factory reset
force stop
delete all data
uninstall all updates
reinstall the app.
I had the same issue but it turned out to be carrier related.
Thanks for the response, was it the same issue with just random messages here and there not making it, but most coming through? Which carrier? I am on AT&T so I will reach out to them as well.
