HTC M8 sending duplicate texts

I just upgraded from an iphone 5 to an HTC M8.... People are now complaining that I am sending them duplicate texts, 2- sometimes 3 texts, 5-8 mins after receiving the original.  I had downloaded Go SMS app but thought that was the problem so I uninstalled it and went back to using the stock messaging app but its still doing it....  Need help!

    Thanks for your reply, laurakateRN! I recommend putting the device into Safe Mode and then trying to message any contact that you suspect may be impacted by this issue. The instructions for Safe Mode are here: http://vz.to/1vvM3IM
Once you've used it under Safe Mode, you can remove it from the mode and let me know how it goes!

  • 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?

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

  • 301 sending duplicate texts

    For the first six months of its life I never had a problem with the phone. However, throughout the past two weeks, the thing wants to send duplicate texts every time I send a text; or so it would appear. 
    I couldn't work out why I was spending an unusual amount of money on texts so I had a look at my phone usage online. The usage states that each text has been sent 3, 4, 5, sometimes up to 10 times! The phone only shows that it has sent each message once and the recepients only receive the message once, as it turns out. This has been happening regardless of my location. Sometimes it even decides to send a text on its own.
    The first couple of days I suspected it was the fault of the service provider. Then I discovered that removing the battery from the phone and then placing it back in prevents the first couple of texts from being sent more than once; however, after a few moments it starts being silly again.
    Is this likely to be a problem with the phone itself or with the service provider? The phone still has the original software on it ( I don't see why that would cause any problems now since it never did before ), so I thought about updating it until I noticed everyone experiencing problems with the latest software.

    You could try your sim in another phone and see if the same thing happens,most likely its your provider at fault here.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • 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.

  • IPhone 4 sending duplicate text messages. ideas?

    My iPhone is sending repeat text messages to my contacts that do not have iPhones. I have tried updating my iPhone and this doesn't seem to help.

    That info is just as useless as the info from 02 lol, reboot device, update firmware, reset network settings, bla bla bla, I've heard them all as solutions to every problem I've had and it's never worked for any of them,
    I've had no 3G for weeks O2 said it was because I was on ios6 (I lied) as they originally said it was because I didn't update to ios6, then they had me resetting settings even tho I told them problem was on their end, sure enough 100+ minutes of phonecalls and they finally admitted 4 of their transmitters in my area were damaged due to floods! Would of been easier to tell me that in the first place, they won't even speak to me unless I said I had updated to the latest software as they blame everything on apple, and if you do update they then blame it on updating!
    Anyway...
    My issue is my wife sends me a SMS and I get it twice within seconds of each other
    I'm running 5.1.1 shes running 6.0
    Problem was here when we both had 5.0
    Problem was here when we both had 5.1
    So it's not a firmware problem and apple has done diddly squat to fix it
    The first is a text message the second is an iMessage both together or within seconds of each other
    Pretty sure its her 3G connection at work failing to send the iMessage then sending a text message instead but then sending the iMessage at the same time because it just so happened to connect
    No need to reset anything

  • My phone sends duplicate texts, how do I get it to stop?

    I have the HTC One M8, and for the first month or so it worked fine. Lately though it has been resending text messages a few minutes after the original has been sent. It doesn't happen every time, and happens more often when I text other Verizon users. Also sometimes the message appears to be sent twice in my messaging app, other times not when a duplicate has been sent. This can get really frustrating for me as well as the people I'm texting. Is this a phone problem or a network problem, and how can I fix it?
    Side note: I have called tech support and their supposed fix worked for about 24 hours, then the duplicate messages started again.

        I appreciate you taking those steps, msway65. I regret that it didn't change this issue. I recommend retesting messages while placing the device in Safe Mode. Instructions for that can be found here: http://vz.to/1vvM3IM
    Please let me know how it goes!

  • My Z3 is sending duplicate texts, how do I stop it

    I have had my Z3 for 4 months now and I love it but it has 1 problem that I don't seem to be able to solve. Sometimes it will send multiple duplicate copies of an SMS text. I mean 4 or 5 copies of the same message, usually straight after 1 another. However, yesterday, I restarted my phone, as GPS would not turn off, and then shortly after I got a text from a friend asking why I has sent her a message about the weather. I hadn't, it was an SMS from some 30 hours earlier, that she had received 4 times at the time I sent it and now again a day later?? How can I stop this from happening? Regards Chris

    I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
    Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
    How to backup?
    If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

  • Text sending duplicate text automatically

    My phone sometimes (often) sends the same text a few seconds after I text the original. Any ideas why this might be happening and how to fix it?

    AprilNBama,
    I know how frustrating it can be to get duplicate messages, as it has happened to me too! It's most commonly a temporary issue, however continual concerns with this can caused by many variables like apps, software, network provisioning and more. I recommend erasing the entire messaging conversation then power cycling the phone. If the issue persists, its best to contact us directly or you can message me for assistance.
    Thank you!

  • Duplicate text in an email

    Just upgraded from Curve 8520 to Curve 9360, and I'm a little disappointed at the moment. Firstly, the battery doesn't last half as long, and secondly, its sending duplicate text in an email.
    eg, is I send an email saying : Hi, how are you?.
    What it really sends is : Hi, how are you?Hi, how are you? </div>
    Anyone got any ideas???

    just found something from vodafone.uk so Its not a local issue.....
    did you see/ try this?
    "Thank you for your post and a very warm welcome to the eForum from myself and the team.
    This is the first time I have come across this issue and I have been unable to recreate this here in the office however as you mention this has happened on two different devices it doesn't sound like the phone.
    Please could you ensure that you are using the latest software for your device.
    After doing some research I found a similar article that affected Gmail accounts, please could you try the below method and let me know how you get on.
    Open up the "Settings" tab within your Hotmail account. Enable "IMAP" under the "Forwarding" section. After completing this process, you will need to reintegrate your Hotmail account with your BlackBerry.
    Many Thanks

  • My sms texts are still sending duplicates to some contacts

    i'm still finding my iPhone 5c sends duplicate sms texts to some of my contacts. Marco49 suggested one solution but I'm sorry to say that didn't solve the problem.

    Are you referring to an actual SMS, or an iMessage? If iMessage, do you have your settings set to Send As SMS if iMessage fails? It could be they are temporarily out of data range, or you could be as well, but it was just enough to begin the send. Are these text bubbles blue or green?
    If this is an actual SMS, then I suggest that you contact your carrier, as SMS is a carrier function.

  • When I send a text from my imac friend with verizon receives duplicate text

    When I send a friend a text from my imac she receives it in duplicate. She has Verizon. But when I send her a text from my Verizon phone she only gets it once. Any ideas why?

    Hi,
    Are you using Mail to send these text messages? My experience has been that Mail always sends the text of a message twice. I don't use Mail but my wife and father do, and their messages are often repeated. I think. Maybe there's some way to avoid this by using particular settings in Mail. I would recommend turning off any fancy font settings, and not putting in any attachments, and see if the messages are still duplicating the text. I'm going to try that myself when I get a chance.

  • New HTC phone is sending my text slow.

    I just got a new HTC phone, after the first day, it started sending my text very slow.  I send a text and it will say "Sending" and stay that way for minutes at a time. I'll reboot the phone and then it speeds up. But after a while, ti happens all over again.  I just got this phone three days ago, does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

        @The InfamousOne17,
    Never fear help is here! Let's get your text messages working right.
    Which HTC phone do you have? This is happening with every text you send or only certain ones? Does this happen while indoors or outdoors? What is your zip code so I can check the coverage?
    Delete all messaging threads and remove the sim card for a minute or two. Put the sim card back in the phone and retest. Keep us posted if the issue continues.

  • Two iPhones, 1 iTunes account, 2 iCloud accounts - still getting duplicate texts

    Hi everyone,
    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4, my husband has an iPhone 3 and has finally updated his software to iOS 6.1.4 as well (he hadn't updated it since he bought it years ago). We have the problem of duplicate text messages - my phone now thinks its his phone (ie I've lost my contacts, but have all of his) and when I send him a text, he gets it but so do I. It also comes up on our iPad. I thought it was perhaps an iCloud account issue so made a second iCloud account and logged into that on my phone but it hasn't helped.
    The duplicate messages are driving me crazy - how do I stop them?
    Thanks,
    Sarah.

    I have the same question.  My daughter and I share an apple account which is fine, but now I am getting some of her texts and each time I send her one I get a duplicate?  I thought I messed this up when we tried to Facetime each other and I have deleted all those options.  How do I fix it so I have my own texts and she has her own texts, I don't get duplicate texts but she can still access our I tunes account?  Please help
