Hi all.
My xperia s has been a joy to use until the past week or so...
The problem being that, if somebody was to send me a text message I'd receive it once.
Then read it
Then the exact same message would come through again 3 minutes later.
Its quite annoying!
Can anybody give me information on possibly getting rid of this bug?
Thanks

There are two possibilities
a) It is a network error
b) It is a software error
Possible Solution
a) Take a look at your phone bill, check and make sure you are NOT being billed/counted for the two excess texts.
1) If you are being charged, then your service provider is making the mistake and you can probably easily make a request and ask them to fix this issue.
b) If it is a software related issue, i would HIGHLY recommend re-flashing the stock FTF for the Sony Xperia S
1) You will need a stock FTF of whatver Firmware you choose that was made for the Xperia S (JB/ICS/GB)
2) You will need a version of Flashtool
3) Backup and Flash
Hi
My network doesn't charge for receiving text messages.
And on the grounds of software, I have totally reset the phone already, which I thought would solve the problem.
Also, I have never flashed my xperia s before, I've always used PC companion or OTA updates to do the Job.
Would I be able to flash if I have a locked boot loader?
And a sim lock?
Thanks
Yes you would, I use the flashtool and I have sim lock and LB

Yes you can use flash tool but you must use correct firmware for phone and correct baseband for your network. Example : I must use the international firmware to access my LTE settings

Ok, Will the information of the baseband and firmware version be stored in the "About phone" section??

Unless it started happening immediately after you changed something on the phone, I'd go with a) as being by far the most likely. I've seen multiple SMS deliveries several times on my various phones and on my partner's (a Nokia 3310, which has barely enough software on it to have room for a bug!) It's always been a Vodafone glitch, nothing to do with the phone - witness the fact that it's happened on a number of different phones over the years.
If I were you I'd call Orange and let them know that it's happening. I'd certainly do that before fiddling about with the firmware on the phone.
You need to search for yourself which Firmware Version is adapted to your specific phone company
Unless you have 4G LTE, you can flash any fw that was built for your phone.
(4G LTE owners are the ones that must worry about baseband)
HOWEVER if you want your phone to be fixed immediately and want a LTE data fix later, then simply reflash any fw built for phone. (then you will only have 3G)
You can fix this problem later

My phone stopped doing this problem for a while then came back packing a punch
I have recently reset the phone again, downloaded new messaging apps.
Even been to see orange and they have no idea why its happening.
The people at orange just seemed extremely confused...

When I was on the stock ROM I do not have this problem but now I use PureSlim-KitKat R1 ROM and I have same problem with SMS so I do not think it is network problem.

I have no idea what could be the problem because we use totally different ROMs. But as I said I don't think it's network problem because I try few ROMs and never have this problem until now.

I always pretend it's the s3 on the other side of the message to be problem. Not my phone haha

Just to update everyone, I contacted my network.
They set up some settings from their end.
Told me to restart my phone, and claimed that my phone doesn't have a fault.
But 24 hours after I contacted them, the problem came back, but I got a double text message received rather than 4 which is nice I guess.
However this doesn't eliminate the problem.

Hi there,

Ahh and very often when i try to send a text message i get "Unable to send text mesage...." Its like it shows i got network but i havnt :/
Please help,

I assume your Desire is completely stock? If so, might be a service provider issue rather than a software/hardware issue

When you say "does not work anymore" do you get an error of some sort? Emergency calls only?
What did you flash?
Is voice OK but not data?
Ive figured this out;
No imei
When i call *#1234# PHONE is none
And i've flashed giopro and a custom kernel from else in this forum (gio section...)
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
Btw what do you mean with voice??
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
By voice I meant just that: voice calls where you talk to someone else, the whole “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you.” that started it all.
Did you try to unlock the phone with the stl5 method? This is the usual cause of no IMEI, and cause for replacement.
Actually i wanted to set the cpu to a higher frequency and then...
A terrible thing happend.
My phone rebooted and the sim card was not recognized anymore...
Just a normal vodafone nl simcard
Any ideas of how to get the imei code back, i've got the origional one behind the battery;
Only using this phone for about 2 months
Should i go to the vodafone store or the samsung store?

I had some of the same problem, beause the launcher lockscreen seems to override the ordinary lock screen, so the pin prompt dont show up. I went in to setings and turned my pin of, then it worket. I just for fun activated pattern. But the launcher lockscreen also skipped the pattern lock. It just showed up for two sec and then the launcher lock was on. Sorry if you dont understand what I write. Give it a try, if you not allready have tried. In cyanogen you have options to turn this off, if you use pin, password, pattern lock.
Regards
Ive got IMEI problems not launcher problems,
But still thnx

I have the same problem. My Arc S connects to my router and everything works for some time. Suddenly, while surfing or facebooking, the information isn't loading any more even when the phone says its still connected. WiFi-Icon in statusbar is still active. Only way to reconnect is to turn WiFi off and on again.
I tried the WiFi-fix application for ICS which was mentioned in some threads on xda but it didn't help.

Only for about a half hour, then the problem happens again.
Edit: Not a half hour, every 10 minutes or less.
Then it looks like some app or service is interfering with wifi.. Do you have any network related apps installed? (lik vpn or tethering apps or something lik that)

Are you using the 4.0.4 FR version? If so, try flashing another version of ICS like the Mobitel Slovenia version.
The wifi reportedly works better in this version.

No I'm using the Slovenian version.
I had the problem with official 4.0.3, leaked 4.0.4 and now official Slovenian 4.0.4.

I have this exact same mentioned problem on my galax s3 and 4.0.4.
Really would like a fix soon, glad its a common problem should get some more attention.
I'm on a belkin router and connect to the apple time capsule.
What I have found is the main network in my household is Home which is hidden, and has added security and this problem occurs. And then we have a second network that isn't hidden for guests and visitors, when I connect to it I havn't experienced the problem. So are the others with the problem connecting to a hidden network? Maybe ICS looses the hidden networks or something.
I had the same problem on my Neo V! I solved it by switching my WI-Fi router to b\g mode! and since that I don`t have any problems)))
P.s. Sorry for my bad english((
My note 2 is about a month old. Running ma7 rooted. When ever go from an lte/3g area to a limited signal my device wont regain data untill I reboot or go into mobile data settings and switch it off and on. Any ideas on what causing this or how to fix. Same thing happened on ljc also.
Try some other ROM... Its possible that ROM is causing this for some unknown reason...

Hi, I got a problem and i can't come up to any solution.
I got a Note 3 Neo 2 day ago. As usually, i use my phone in the evening before go to sleep, then i attach it to the charger and that's it. I just get my phone in the morning, completely charged.
This phone, otherwise, won't unlock in the morning. Screen is black, whatever button Ii press it just dosn't light on. The notification led is flashing, but maybe it is just because i got a notification before it was locked. Alarms don't sound, and this is bad, and i have to take out the battery to restart it.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Do a factory reset and check. Also do not plug the phone in charger for long time..That is not good for phone, there are chances of brick.
Thanks, I posted the same question on an Italian Android forum and many users have the same issue: the phone want not wake up from deep sleep.
It seems to be the update of Google Play Service app: until the 5.9 version everything works fine, starting from the 6.1 version everyone has the same problem.
Probably Samsung/Google forced the update without checking if it was compatible.

In that case the phone is in charging state or not does not matter...That happens to some samsung phone but if you root and modify it..Should not be issue on stock
Itachi.. try a soft reset first before a hard reset and see if it works..
Sent from my SM-N750 using XDA Free mobile app
Personally I tried only soft reset, other people tried also hard reset, but none of those has solved anything.
One of them went to the store and he got a new phone thanks to this problem, but the new one has the same problem.
Someone has flashed the stock kitkat rom from United Arab Emirates and they had no problems at all.
I guess that upgrade to kitkat is the only solution.
