Why do i keep getting repeated text messages?

When I am texting, most of the time I will get a repeated text message from the person I am texting. I know that it isn't the person that I'm am talking to's phone because this happens to anybody and everybody that texts me. I have tried doing a hard drive reset and restarting my iPhone but it hasn't done anything. If you know how to solve this, please reply to this! Thanks!

as an example.. from the sprint forum for a different device (unsure what device.. it's just not an iphone since no iphone or ios device has these settings -- ive seen this advice several times and I believe it's some form of android.. but not sure)
advice from the carrier advisor --
"Clear data in the Dialer and Dialer storage.... under manage Applications> All.
That is Settings - Applications - Choose All to view All choices - then find Dialer and clear the Data. Repeat this for the Dialer Storage as well. I personally also deleted the message thread first from the text message window and my log history which is a menu item from your call screen."
and another for you from a customer -- it is sprint again.. but this time a Samsung Epic
"OMG ... if someone can't tell me how to fix this "9230: Message sent using invalid number of digits..." error, I'm going to scream.  My husband and I both have Sprint Epic phones and love them EXCEPT for this one problem! Help!"
Maybe they should sue Samsung?

    Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?
    This happens a lot regardless of the web page. I continually have to restart FF and it persists still

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why do I keep getting an error message saying that I need to check my internet connection when I try to listen to Radio? I ran diagnostics and my internet connection is fine. I can also access iTunes Store no problem??

    Why do I keep getting an error message "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service.Check your internet connection or try again later." This happens when I am trying to listen to Radio (obviously). I ran diagnostics and it said my internet connection was good. I can also connect to the iTunes Store with no problem. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Maybe the radio connection on the other end is not working. Hope this helps.

  • HT1539 Why Do I keep getting an error message telling me "Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." whenever I try to redeem my digital copy code for "Oz The Great and Powerful"?

    Why Do I keep getting an error message telling me "Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." whenever I try to redeem my digital copy code for "Oz The Great and Powerful"?

    I had the same problem so I decided to try going to website on the back. (DisneyOzMovieandOffers.com). It will take you to a page that says to redeem code, enter the code that is given to you and click enter. It will give you options of where you would like to download it from. Click iTunes and it will give you the correct code to download the movie from iTunes.

  • Why do I keep getting an error message when converting PDF to word?? help please!

    I just subscribed to the ExportPDF but is not working. I keep getting an error message saying "Conversion Failure" when trying to convert PDF file to word! I don't know what to do.

    HI tatamene,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble converting a document.  For starters, have you verified that your account is active? (You can check by logging in to www.adobe.com and checking under My Subscriptions and Services). Aside from that, I'll need a little more info to get to the bottom of your problem.
    Are you trying to convert the file from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
    What operating system and browser are you using?
    How large is the file that you're trying to convert? (There's a file-size limit of 100 MB.)
    Is the computer that you're using networked?
    Do other files convert without error?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

    I'm just setting up my new iPad.  I tried to download an app for the first time but kept getting a notice that said cookies have to be enabled.  I have followed the directions on enabling cookies, but I keep getting the same message when I try to download the app.

    Is this how you do it?

  • Why do I keep getting an error message when I try to set up Droid Zap?

    Every time I try to get started with the Droid Zap" app on my Droid Maxx, I keep getting an error message saying, "Unable to connect at this time, try again later."  This has been happening for 3 weeks now.

        tabascobulldog, sorry to hear that you're having troubles with that application, but we'd be hqappy to help. What model of device are we working with? Are all other data services working? Have you tried using the app with both Mobile Data and WiFi? What about uninstalling and reinstalling the application? Any recent changes since this started happening? New apps or software updates?

  • Why do i keep getting an error message of 2096 when installing any version of itunes

    Why do  I keep getting ann error of 2096 when downloading any version of itunes.  It tells me to delete itunes and reinstall.

    That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • My iMessage is stuck on the wrong phone number and I keep getting coded text messages from SMS Info.

    I recently switched the sim card in my iPhone when I moved from one country to another. When I put my local sim card in iMessage would not activate (just staying on 'waiting for activation' forever). This has not been a problem before. When I went to send/receive I saw the phone number there is still on the old one from the country I left. This is not the case in phone settings when I look for 'my phone number' or in facetime, which recognise the new number.
    Plus I keep getting text messages from 'SMS Info'. They are just code, except that in there my new phone number is included among the code. The only other discernible characters are the letters 'REG-RESP?'. Perhaps this is something to do with an error in registering my new number.
    I have tried-
    1. Turning it off and on again.
    2. Turning iMessage off and on again. This results in the usual 'it may cost you to reactivate with an SMS' popup on my phone screen, then a popup saying there has been a mistake, then one of these coded SMS messages.
    3. Doing the above in combination with logging in and out of my apple id (as suggested on another forum post here)
    4. Removing the new sim card and replacing the old one. Then turning off iMessage, replacing the new sim card and turning iMessage back on (of course powering the phone down and up)
    None of these remedies have worked. The iMessage problem is affecting all sorts of my messages. Windows keep popping up saying that I may have to pay for an SMS to activate iMessage, except that it doesn't activate. The SMS messages from 'SMS Info' keep coming and I can't seem to get any of it to stop an just work normally.
    I have looked in these forums already and can't see the same problem elsewhere. If someone could figure this out I would be most grateful.

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.
    This one has a bit on Unlinking an iPhone Number (with or without the iPhone) iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

  • Why do I keep getting "Connection needed" message ...

    I've only had my 5800 XM for a few days, and I can't figure out why I keep getting this message: 
    Connection needed:
    Connect to 'Internet' via 'T mobile Internet'
    Accept and set 'Use access pont'
    to 'Automatically' 
    This appears when I wake up the phone with the slider button on the side.  I can't figure out what application is trying to make a connection.  When I look for open connections, I only see the bare minimum that I need to run the phone.
    If it makes any difference I'm running the T-Mobile prepaid plan w/o any data capabilities.  I use my wireless connection to get to the internet.
    Also, I started the app update utility and now I have an Ovi Contacts 1.20 update that won't install.
    Thanks for any help. 

    Hi,I would like to suggest a couple of things, first buy and install Best Taskmanager from ovi store, it will show you all the applications running on your phone , and as you would need to connect your phone to the web unless you are in range of wifi, I would really recommend you add unlimited internet to your contract, it really will make your whole 5800 experience much better, and it won't really matter what app is trying to connect to the web. If you can only use wifi you might as well use the computer at home/work for your web browsing. You can as suggested simply go into your connection settings and disable them, but it just seems a shame to remove so much functionality from what is quite a good and advanced handset.
    Good Luck

    Every time I try to login to My Medicare. gov I keep getting this message "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." I have used this site many times before but today I keep getting this message. I cleaned out my cache but I continue to get this message. I can login using anouther web browser, but not on Foxfire.

    Hi,
    The message is universal for everyone. Even I get that message. You just have to wait for it to be back up. There's nothing we can do to fix that error as it's over on Medicare.gov's end.
