Friends are receiving multiple duplicate messages

After switching to Verizon from AT&T, my friends are reporting that when I send a text message, they will receive the same message two to four times in a row. Sometimes a message will continue to repeat itself after x minutes.
I know it is not the phone because I first had a Droid Razr and then switched to the HTC Trophy. The problem occurs on both phone.
I just got the Trophy today and straight out of the box, after activation my friends reported receiving multiple messages again.
I'm using the native text messaging app and have powered the phone off several times. But again, since it happened with the Droid, it doesn't seem like it would be a phone issue.
Any thoughts of this would be great.

Hi SonorousGiraffe & NATRAPS!
I see how the duplicate text message problem can become aggravating. I would like to assist with resolving.
First, thanks to Ann154 for the great feedback & suggestion!
There may be some resetting on the account we would need to do in order to resolve the duplicate text message issue. If you are still experiencing this, please reach out to me directly so I can further assist.
Thanks,

TS3276 Why am I receiving multiple duplicate emails and how do I stop this from happening

Why am I receiving multiple duplicate emails after the initial message comes in, it keeps duplicating them. How do I fix this problem?

For the mailbox where you are receiving duplicates ...
Select the mailbox on the left of the Mail window.
From the Mail menu bar top of your screen click Mailbox > Rebuild
See if that helps the duplication issue.

Receiving multiple duplicate emails using Outlook 2010

I am receiving multiple duplicate emails using Outlook 2010. The email receiving, can go up to few hundreds copies. Not
all emails i receive will be duplicated. There is no common sender for those affected emails. Usually when i received email from my Outlook 2010 the email in Outlook Web Access will be gone. But this time round for those affected duplicating emails, it still
can be found in the Outlook Wed Access. Any solution for this problem? Currently
I would need to go into the Outlook Web Access to delete the affected email then the duplication will be stop. Or I would need to cancel the Send/Receive & restart Outlook. But this 2 method is only temporary solution. The problem will keep coming
back.

Dear Jeremycny,
I think you are working with a POP3 account and issue of replicated emails in Outlook is common in the case of POP3 connection. So, first of all uncheck the
“Leave a copy of messages on the server” option and see the results.
Also, see the TasK Manager, if there are multiple “Outlook.exe” are running under the
“Processes” tab, then end the unnecessary programs as each of them downloading the same email multiple times.
Apart from it, if there are numbers of factors behind the replication of emails in Microsoft Outlook such as:
Rules (Exploiated Rules)
Scanning Programs Integration
Damaged Outlook Profile

My messages say they aren't sending but my friends are receiving them?? HELP!!!

MY messages say they aren't sending but my contacts are receiving them ??

Try a "reset" (different from restarting).
Hold down on both the Home AND Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo on black screen (about 10 seconds).
When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of both buttons.
Hope this fixes Messages!

Multiple Duplicate Message Problem

Each time I check my email, I appear to be downloading all my messages off my mail server as if they have not already been dlowloaded in the past, This means that I am getting multiple and incerasing numbers of duplicate email messages in my inbox. It has just started happening - is this a virus perhaps? Has anyone else had this happen to them??
I am using mailk with btinternet (POP) - I have checked my server and only one copy exists there - it is as if the application seems to have lost the ability to tell the server that it already has specific messages...
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

I read in another post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=519926&tstart=30) that this is a problem with bt. On their broadband service status page there is the following entry:
13 June 2006 01:54 PM
Problem downloading multiple mail messages
We are currently investigating a problem which may mean some customer are downloading multiple copies of messages from the server using a mail client. Please bear with us as we endeavour to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. Meanwhile we apologise for any inconvenience.
So it looks like we will have to wait for bt to sort it out.

My outgoing text messages are received as voicemail messages with iOS5... WHY?

I just upgraded my iPhone4 to the iOS5. Now whenever I send texts to my husbands iPhone4, they are received as voicemails not text messages. Why is that and how can I fix it?? When I went through the setup questions on my iPhone after the update, I just kept my iPhone under hubby's appleID instead of changing it to my own appleID. Should I delete his appleID from my phone and put my appleID on instead? Never had this problem with the previous OS...

May have fixed this but not sure how. I'm not sure if it was a problem associated with the iOS5 upgrade or having two iPhones with the same appleID.

Receiving multiple duplicate text messages since latest update

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

After updating to ios7 all lines on my iTunes are receiving my text messages

Is there a way make other lines not able to receive texts for multiple lines?

It is not text message but imessage.
This is occurring because you are sharing apple ids, which you can do for music and apps.
But you should have separate ids for imessage/facetime and icloud.
The quick fix on each device go to settings - message - send&receive - either uncheck or remove the apple id.
ONce everyone gets a new id, go back to the same settings to input it.

If two iphones were updated using the same apple id and now are receiving the same messages, how do i fix this?

Hey guys. So i recently downloaded ios7 for my iphone 4s and so did my mom. But my mom decided to update her phone as well using the same apple id. Now she is recieving all of my messages instead of me. Please let me know how I could fix this. Thank you.

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

Messaging sending text messages but they are received as picture messages ?

Help needed, have swapped phone but it is still happening. when I send a sms sometimes people cannot read them as they arrive as blank picture messages and I am being charged for picture messaging ?? HELP what am i doing wrong

If you check Settings > Messages, do you have "Show subject field" turned on? If it is and you type any text in that field, your SMS will be sent as MMS.

Droid X - Receiving same Txt message multiple times, repeatedly

After an upgrade back in September/October... I started receiving the same text message multiple times. It doesn't happen every time. For example, my Husband responds with "OK" and I receive the same message 5 times over a period of 4-5 hours.

Welcome ... SEARCH is your friend in this forum as most issues have already been reported. I did a quick search on "Multiple" and this popped up:

There may be others as well.

Messages Received in Duplicate

Suddenly it seems that whenever I receive an iMessage, the message is in duplicate, i.e., it is repeated, as seen in this image:

What kind of phone do you have? Do you have text messaging app? If you have two or more apps, the messages will be received multiple times (once in each app). If this is a basic phone, then I don't know. You can call customer service and they can verify that you are receiving multiples of the same message if it causes you to go over your limit. Is your bill showing the multiples, or only one each time?

Biztalk Receiving Duplicate Message

How Do you avoid receiving a duplicate message?
Christiane

Hi Christiane,
To “avoid” receiving duplicate message in BizTalk, only solutions is to avoid configure BizTalk receive location to the source system which sends the duplicate message.
But you can “Reject” (or stop processing further) the received duplicate message in BizTalk.
BizTalk would receive all the recognised messages from the configured source system. Defining a message as DUPLICATE or not is a custom business condition/requirement. This custom business condition/requirement
various to various integration. Hence its not part of the BizTalk by default. You have to handle this business condition/requirement in BizTalk.
If you don’t want the duplicate message to be published into messagebox or proceed further in BizTalk, you can consider using a custom receive pipeline component where you can implement a logic
to check wheather the received message is duplicate or not.
For example, if you receive a Order message and if OrderID definies the uniqueness of an order, then in custom receive pipeline once you received the message, access its OrderID and check it against
a custom database to see if this OrderID is present in the db already or not. If the OrderID is not present in DB, then insert the OrderID in DB (for subsequent checks) and proceed the message furture. If the OrderID is already present in the db (then the
received order is duplicate), then suspend (or don’t publish the received message furture) the message.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful.

Duplicate messages in mulitcast test

We are doing a multicast test on the multicast IP=224.0.0.115 port=61101. But we are getting some duplicate messages as given in the test output.

we have Weblogic servers on 5 physical hosts that need to broadcast messages to each other via IP multicast (IP=224.0.0.115 port=61101). These broadcast messages are used by WebLogic servers to update their cluster membership and are hence very important.
The test results indicate that each host receives packets sent out from all other 4 hosts once, but receives the packet that it sent out twice.
For example, if host A and host B send out packets "a" and "b" respectively to the multicast IP/port, then host A receives packet "a" twice (duplicate) and packet "b" once (normal). Similarly host B receives packet "a" once (normal) and packet "b" twice (duplicate).
We wish to know if this a normal behaviour

Hi Deepak,
I can say from my personal experience that whenever we use same multicast ip address and port for the purpose of multicast utility then we will get the duplicate messages.
If that is not the case, then I can say the following are the reasons for duplicate packets and it is better if we can contact your network team to check the following :
***Duplicate multicast packets are symptoms of several things:***
1. An ethernet-level device (e.g. bridge) that doesn't understand multicast so reforwards it. This is easy to track to the right subnet using mtrace's packet statistics, but hard to track to the final device because it doesn't change the ethernet source address.
2. The design of the PIM protocol accepts multiple copies periodically; when there are multiple paths to a multi-access link the default state is that all routers on the link forward; PIM Assert messages elect a single router as the forwarder but periodically time out.
3. Forwarding loops. This is often due to a misconfigured router.
Please cross verify the same but I am agreeing partly with Jay as most of the times we consider that the multicast test is passed even if there is any duplicate messages. But reconsider the above reasons and trace it out along with your network team..
Thanks,
Sreedevi

Duplicate messages to inbox on reply

Why do I receive a duplicate message in my Style inbox when replying? This only happens when I reply from my PC not the handheld. It only happens when replying - not forwarding. I have checked all the settings on Outlook and I don't see anything that would create this problem or solve it. My IT persons says it's a BB problem and my carrier says it's an Outlook problem

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You didn't say what email service this is for...and that matters a great deal. So, here are some KBs that might apply...you will have to dig through them for those that match your situation:
KB13891BlackBerry smartphone users receive duplicate email messages after an enterprise activation process
KB13528Duplicate email messages are received on the BlackBerry smartphone
KB13587Duplicate email messages are received from a Yahoo! Mail account on the BlackBerry smartphone
KB10332Duplicate sent email message arrives on the BlackBerry smartphone when sent using an integrated Gmail account
KB11127Duplicate sent email messages are delivered to the BlackBerry smartphone when using Auto BCC
KB05477Duplicate sent items appear on the BlackBerry device
While some of those apply to BES, if you are indeed on BES, then your BES admins really should be assisting.
Good luck!
