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.

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!

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.

Thank You

. You do not need a seperate Apple ID. One one device you just need to go to Settings>Messages and add another/different Messaging email address and delete the common Apple ID address. Also see:

PSE v13 on mac, organizer spontaneously adds images duplicates. How do I stop this from happening?

just purchased PSE v13 on mac, primarily using the organizer
issue - Organizer spontaneously adds image duplicates.
How do I stop this from happening?

I enter misc. items in each metadata file, ie. document title, author, description, keywords, copyright notice, etc. Each image has it's own metadata file, with unique keywords, which are unique to that image. The keywords then show up on the right side of PSE organizer under 'imported keyword tags'. Then I can select a keyword, unique to that image and wa...la... that image only appears in organizer. I have been doing this for years (like probably 10). But this is the first time I have experienced the duplication issue.
Not adding any auto-adjustments in Organizer as far as I know.
The names are not duplicated in organizer, but appear as ie. scnr0122.jpg and scnr0122-1.jpg. But the '-1' is not found on my server. Apparently they are being added from another source. Is it possible they are being pulled from a cloud server, ie. creative cloud or revel?? I do have the same files on those cloud servers, but am not intentionally duplicating the import.
here is an interesting side item.
Did you know that a man was convicted of murder because of the info found in the metadata of his files?

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 SMS/text - how do I know it has been delivered?

I send a text message ( SMS ) with my iPhone.
It's coming up as a green field to the right in messages.
How do I know it has actually been delivered to the person I'm sending it too? How do I know the recipient doesn't has the phone switched off?
Is something in preferences/settings that I can set so that the iPhone will give a quick message "message delieverd to #xxxxxx" ?
Or is iPhone designed so that I just send it away and don't know if it has been received?

Thanks Malcom! I just tried inserting the short characters before the message and it works.
But it's really boring having to type *# etc in front of a text message. The iPhone keypad doesn't lend itself very well for such exercises...
But thanks a lot for pointing me to a temporary workaround.
It's a bit embarrasing for Apple that Nokias, Ericssons, Samsungs etc do this automatically and you can chose delivery report on/off in settings for all these phones. But with Apple iPhone you have to write your own little string of code to get this basic functionality...
YOu actually have to make an extra 10-15 key presses in front of EVERY sms/text message you send for this to work... Something truly time consuming and boring. When I just want to send a text-message saying "yes" I have to type in *#KV and jump between character sets etc. Not nice.
How come Apple has failed to make this central thing of SMS/text work?

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

Adobe CEF Helper is sending data. How can I stop this?

There are two different Flash Player Plugins for Windows (3 if you count Google Chrome, but it's built in and functions independently of the other two).
The one for Firefox won't affect IE.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Download and run both of those. That should have you up to date.

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!

How do I set up my iPhone 4s to send international texts, How do I set up my iPhone 4s to send international texts

I can't send texts to other countries. How do I set my phone up to do this.

There is nothing to 'set up' on the phone. Contact your carrier as ckuan suggests. Your account will need to be provisioned to allow International messaging. This usually costs more money. Make sure the number you enter in messages contains the country code of the person you want to message.
If you want to send an iMessage to someone with another iOS 5 device, there is no provisioning on the account needed and no cost involved.
