[Q] MMS messages arriving from both a contact and my own number - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

When I receive an MMS from a contact, my phone displays it in its own, separate conversation with two senders: one being the contact and the other being my own phone number. If I reply to the message, it replies to my contact and it also sends me the same text... from myself.
I'm totally confused with this. Has anyone else had this issue, or know of a fix?

Factory reset?

I've done plenty as I tend to flash every new version of task650's AOKP ROM.

Phone sending entire inbox.

hey I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this yet, as I can't find any info about this in any forum so far:
Whenever I flash a rom, this issue doesn't show up right away, but it always does, regardless of phone or build. Currently every sms message I send is stuck in a "sending" status on my device. The recipient always gets the message, but my phone thinks that it hasn't been sent. So, whenever I reboot my phone, if I haven't cleared all of my threads, my phone will resend every sent message on my phone. If I flash the same rom on top of itself, it goes away for a few more days, but it always comes back. Again, this is regardless of rom and even phone (D1, Eris,fascinate, DX, and incredible). Does anyone know what could be causing this? At the very least if someone could direct me to the property place to ask this question, I'd appreciate it.

What email account is this happening with?
If its over many phones it could be a problem with the towers around you, try calling verizon about it but get to the to the top of tech support

It's not an email account, it's sms.

I don't think it's a tower issue. When I send a message, in handcent there is s spinning wheel next to the message until the phone registers the message as "sent". this happens in it's own way across any and all sms apps on my phone. If I create and send the message in the stock messages app, it will show as sending in my other app and vice-versa. For the record, I have tried this with handcent, chomp sms and go sms.

This definitely sounds like a network issue. Have you tried sending a sms with a "dumb phone" and see if you have the same problem?

No, I haven't. I'll try it tonight when I get home from work. I sent a text to myself last night to test, and while it got to me immediately, it sent itself again 4 hours later. I'm not sure if that means anything significant or not but I'll try using another phone tonight.

This was a known issue with some phones and some SMS/MMS clients. Handcent implemented a fix, not sure about other clients. See this post in android forums for implementing the fix: http://androidforums.com/android-ap...on-without-resending-old-sms.html#post2136469

Thanks for this info!! I'm currently trying go sms again jaded on a reply in that thread, which seems to be working. I want to try the handcent fix, but I don't feel like taking the time to see how well consistently it works and risk text bombing people again. Hopefully some better themes start popping up

Solution?

Long messages or just simple text?

The same thing is happening to me. Two days ago, every MMS I try to send eventually errors out and moves into the unsent messages folder. Regular txts send fine. I can receive MMS fine. Whether I try to send just a picture or a picture with a small amount of text; doesn't matter, same result, doesn't send. I'm running a rooted Sense ROM. When I come across a solution, I'll post it.

Way to tell if an SMS was sent to multiple people?

Over the New Years weekend I got a text from a friend saying something like "Hope everyone has a safe New Years!". From the message it was obvious that it was sent to more than one person. I just happened to be with another friend who also received the same text. He has a Droid 3 and in his Messaging app the Send button changes to Send to All or something of that nature. Is there a way to easily tell if a message has been sent to multiple recipients without looking at the message info? I feel like this would be a huge help considering that replying to those sends a text to everyone who got the initial message. Hope that was clear.

Right I get that. But sometimes a message can seem like it only was sent to you, but then after you reply you find out that it indeed was not. I was hoping for an obvious way to tell, like on the Droid 3 messaging app changing the send button to say send to all.

Unless I'm mistaken, that Send to All is a Motoblur specific feature. I don't think by default that SMS messages sent to multiple recipients automatically reply to all recipients. MMS messages might, but not SMS.
I may have to test it later. I'm fairly certain the replies go only to the sender, though.

I figured that was specific to Motoblur. I like that feature though. Makes it really simple knowing if you received a mass text. I was hoping to find an app or ROM that has this feature as well.

[Q] galaxy s3 JB SMS issue

Hey all. I am updated to the new JB update on my galaxy s3 i747 on SaskTel. And i have had a few issues with receiving sms. I am getting all my messages, but some received texts have the wrong time stamp and are ordered incorrectly. I sometimes ask a question, and when they reply to that question, it will appear before my sent text, with a time difference of a few minutes. Anyone know what could be causing this, or how i can fix it? it is rather annoying. thanks!
Same problem here. Same phone with Jelly Bean on SaskTel.
Example:
I send my brother asking a question. My brother replies but his message shows above my message, appearing like he sent his answer before I sent the question. Really frustrating.
Those time stamps are provided by the network, so there's not much you can do to address it.
My brother has a SGS2 on the same network and the same conversation is in order on his phone.

Just a thought - do you have the messaging app set to use sent timestamps or received timestamps? It's possible only one or the other of those is wrong.

Text and Email issues

I'm using a note 3 with my Moto360 on tmobile. I have 2 issues with the watch.
1.When I receive a text or email I get no option to reply like others seem to have. Just "send to phone"
2. If I receive more than one text or email from different people around the same time I can only see the subject line in both notifications, there is no way to read either message only when I send it to the phone can I read it there.
Anyone else having these issues and does anyone know how to fix them?

You have to either tap the notification, or swipe it up, then swipe to the left to see all of the options

Some apps don't have wear options yet. Until we get more updates it is what it is.

I'm using an m8 and g3 on T-Mobile, same thing. Like the guy above me said, some apps just don't have the option yet unfortunately. Still nice to see what's coming in on the phone and not have to pull it out every time

I was having the same issues using my 1st gen Moto X and it was driving me crazy. I was able to resolve both issues by switching the defualt SMS app to Hangouts and by removing my gmail account from the default Android mail app that is built in. I setup my gmail using the actual gmail app and it worked. I now can view multiple emails on the Moto 360 and have the options to reply to texts.
