View Full Version : SMS messages are being resent over and over again

I just flashed my Cingular 8125 to TNT.20273 "Professional Home Free" and I am having a serious problem with SMS: Every message I have sent since the flash (4 of them) keep getting resent over and over again. After a soft reset, the messages will get resent the instant I open the Messaging app to the SMS account. Even without a soft reset it seems to resend them every so often.

My best guess is this is some sort of feature where it is not getting a delivery receipt so it's resending the messages. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am on AT&T.

and close outlook before one recieve the msg is sendt notification

My apps are not set to close rather than minimize. And this isn't just sending them "more than once" - it's tons and tons of times. Those 4 SMS I sent yesterday have been resent literally over a dozen times over the last 12 hours.

First of all, you most likely DO have a program that closes apps. It's part of the Pro Edition, and it's probably part of the build you installed too, and it's called "CloseApps." Even though your symptoms are worse than most people who experience this kind of fault, it's still the same type of fault, and is probably being caused by CloseApps.

Try posting your issue on the TNT.20273 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414518) thread. The one that cooked that ROM may have already addressed this issue, and if not, you might get some debug help from that person, or at least get help from people who use that ROM.

Posting on a generalist board like this might net you good info, but usually it won't.

Same problem. Solved by flashing another ROM (WM6.1.Rus.Clean)

Which, I believe, is also part of the package that OP installed.

It is definitely NOT caused by the problem you guys are saying, as I have send an SMS, and left Outlook open all day and that same SMS gets resent several times. It will literally never stop sending until I delete the SMS and then remove it from my deleted items.

The problem appears to be that I am never getting the message receipt notification. I get the notice that it has been sent but I never get one saying that it was received, even though I turned that option on.

However, you're probably right that it's caused by the build I got so I'll just switch to a different one for now.

Thanks for educating this noob out.
