Duplicate text messages in messages+

I am receiving duplicate text messages when using messages+ as my default app.  A msg I send is sent twice & I receive messages twice.  This just started about two weeks ago.   I have had my galaxy5 for two months.  I turned off the stock app yesterday & I am still getting & sending duplicate texts. Cache has been cleared without success.   Help please!

Try the stock app in safe mode. You may need a factory reset

  • Duplicate Text Messages

    Hello,
    I currently a droid x running android 2.3.3 in the Royersford, PA area.  I updated to Android 2.3.3   2-3 weeks ago.  After this update I started receiving a noticeable amount of duplicate text messages.  The duplicates can number anywhere from 2 to 11 and are received over a ten minute period.  As I am sure you can imagine this is extremely frustrating.  It is also not restricted to one contact.  I have received duplicate texts from 4 different carriers and the majority of types of phones available ranging from iphones to android to non-smartphones.
    In an attempt to resolve the issue I visited my local verizon store and after spending about 20 minutes of being asked over and over if i had tried taking the battery out (which I had) I was finally told to perform a factory reset on my phone.  I did and after 2.5 hours of redownloading all my apps (apparently they haddn't backed up to google's servers yet) I started receiving duplicate messages again (it actually started before I redownloaded all my apps).  I returned to the verizon store in the next few days only to be told that since they could not get the problem to replicate itself in store (this after waiting for 45 minutes for the clerk to go around the store and use every display phone to text my phone) there was nothing they could do to help me, even though I still had duplicate messages in my inbox.  
    After waiting about a week I grew frustrated enough to try again and they agreed to give me a new phone (which I currently have).  I didn't receive a duplicate for about 2 days and then it started again and has gotten progressively worse ever since.  I even tried switching from the stock messaging app to handcent but it did not help (and yes I disabled the default messaging app).
    Is anyone out there capable of fixing this issue?  Is it an android problem, a droid x problem, or a verizon problem?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    A few more bits of information.  My mom also has the droid x running 2.3.3 and has recently started experiencing the same problem but not to the extent that I do.  My brother has a htc incredible running something other than 2.3.3 (I'm not sure what) and experiences the same problem as myself (this leads me to believe it is either an android problem or verizon but since it is on two different versions of android I am leaning towards verizon).
    Thanks for any help anyone can give, and if there is already a topic about this I apologize, I could not find it anywhere on this site.

  • Random duplicate text messages.

    I keep recieving duplicate random messages after upgrading to the iPhone 6.  Most of the time it is at the time i recieve a message or mms but it has happened where it can be many hours later.  I have recieved the same message up to 5 or 6 times in one or two cases.  Any idea why this might be happening?

        Happy Friday Traffalger! We're excited to partner with you and get the duplicate texts issue resolve once and for all. Are the duplicate coming from only one contact or multiple contacts? Do you have iMessage turned on? If so, trying turning iMessage off & retest. Let us know the results.
    Thank you…

    Ever sice the latest update I've been receiving at least 3 duplicates of every text that gets sent to me. Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas on how to make it stop?
    It's actually been going on since well before the update. I have friends with other phones who have the same thing happen to them. One actually has a 'pre-smartphone' phone and they get multiples all the time. The problem is with some setting within Verizons network, which apparently they don't feel is that big of a deal. Only thing I've heard is to contact Verizon and tell them and they supposedly do someting to correct it for that user, but that's about it

  • Sending duplicate text messages

    My phone is sending duplicate text messages whenever I send to my contacts.  How do I stop this?
    I've noticed this on my RAZR Maxx and now my HTC One M8. 

        Mclindy,
    Lets stop the maddness so your friends only get signal messages when you send them. I know you moved from the Maxx to the M8. Did this start right away with the M8 or did it take a little bit of time? Do you use the native Messaging app that came with the phone or one that was downloaded from the Play Store?

  • Getting duplicate text messages, each message twice

  • Duplicate Text Messages - Pantech Crux

    Hello, I began receiving duplicate text messages once I upgraded to a Pantech Crux.  The duplicates are not labeled *duplicate message* like others, rather they are just received about 30 seconds after the original.
    This happens regardless of sender but does not always happen.  It will also happen regardless of whether or not I read the first message before the duplicate arrives.
    Is there any solution to this?  Will I be charged for all the duplicates?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Are you still receiving duplicate txt msgs? I've been having the same issue since May and I keep getting the run around. My husband and I have the same phones and first they told me they had to do a "network" update that was supposed to take place on June 27. I've still been receiving them. I called again last friday and the gentleman from tech support told me to do a device software update on my phone. I did that and I'm still getting double txts! Very frustrating!!! I've called around 7-8 times! Not getting anywhere with my problem! During the month of July I had gone over my txt limit and the lady I talked to gave me a higher text package and wasn't going to charge me the difference. But when she did that she canceled my text messaging package and I got billed $180 for text messaging! Not very happy with Verizon right now! We are debating if we should cancel our service thru them and go to another company!
    jmm823,
    I definitely understand your frustrations and would like to assist with correcting this for you!  Our Product Development Team is aware of the issue and are working diligently to provide a permanent fix.  In the meantime, I would be happy to review your account and correct the text package and billing for you.  We definitely do not want you to have to consider leaving Verizon Wireless!  I will send you a message, and you can reply with the requested information.
    Thank you again for your patience, and for choosing Verizon Wireless!

  • Duplicate text messages Handcent msgs

    I downloaded the handcent application and it sends out duplicate text messages.   People have gotten the same message from me anywheres from 2-5 times.  Not everytime, but still annoying is there a way to fix this problem.  It has gotten worse just recently

    When you download a new messaging application on the phone you would want to make sure that the old messaging application is closed. The default messaging application is probably running in the back ground causing duplicate messages.
    Lets try 3 things to correct this issue:
    First you would want to disable the default messaging application.
    From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
    Touch Settings.
    Touch Applications.
    Touch Running services.
    Touch a service (select the default messaging application).
    Choose the default messaging application.Touch Stop.
    Second could I get you to do a soft reset on the device.
    Soft Reset
    Press the Power key.
    Touch Power off.
    Touch OK.
    Press the Power key to power on the device.
    Third:
    Could I get you to dial *228 send and option 1 on the device.
    From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
    Touch Settings.
    Touch Applications.
    Touch Running services.
    Then re-check your applications, making sure the default messaging application is not running.

    You can try an app like PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac or PC). Both will allow you to archive text messages to your computer.

  • HT3529 IPhone Sending Duplicate Text Messages

    My IPhone 4 is constantly resending people I have texted, texts from earlier in the day. People keep texting me complaining that they are receiving many duplicate texts from me! They are annoyed about it and so am I!! How can I get it to stop doing it aside from throwing it in the street and smashing it?

    Try rebooting:  Hold down the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the slider.  Leave the phone off for a minute or so, then power up again.

  • How to Delete duplicate contacts in the messaging app?

    I set up a new email account, and was trying to send my contacts to the new account. In doing so I did not get the contacts to sync with the new account, but they did duplicate in my contacts app and my messaging contacts app. I can not find a means to delete the duplicate contacts in the messaging app. I stopped by Verizon at Best Buy, and they told me that there is no way to delete the contacts once they are in the messaging app. I can't believe that.
    There must be a way to remove the contacts from the messaging app. Please help.

    Hi Tidbits,
    I ended up going to Best Buy, where I got my LG G3 Verizon phone. The Tech tried everything to correct the duplication, but could not find how to do it. He deleted everything, and went back to factory settings. Darn if the duplicates didn't come back.
    He went to my Verizon account, and went to the Verizon Cloud. Clicked on Contacts, and there were all the duplicate contacts. He deleted the duplications, leaving the original for each contact. BINGO the problem was solved.
    I am using the Standard Messaging instead of Verizon messaging Plus. The Tech said that if I had been using Using Verizon Messaging Plus this may not of happened. I just down want the added cost of Messaging Plus.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Is there a way to make a mobile number clickable in an inDesign PDF document, that will open a Texting or Instant Messaging Application?

    Thoughts are to allow groups of individuals mobile numbers to be shared across larger organizations, from within a PDF document, that the mobile numbers would be clickable, and open up a Text or instant messaging application on either the computer, tablet, or smart phone, for instant communication.
