SMS being sent multiple times.

[samueljoned]

Hello guys,

I have an iPAQ 914c with a strange problem.

I text the same contact all through out the day, and occasionally I get complaints that I'm sending the same message multiple times.

It turns out it'll be a message that I sent a day previous that comes back and decides to re-send itself 4-5 times for no apparent reason, It's definatly not a network problem, because it was Happening on Orange UK, and now I'm on T-Mobile UK and its still happening.

I really think its a software problem with windows mobile 6.1 on the device. I've done a hard-reset twice and still get the same problem. I have the latest ROM, which was on the phone stock. I havnt gone to the hassle of Re-flashing the ROM since Its the latest, and theres no other ROMS around to test.

What do you guys think? I've only had the phone a couple of weeks and I love it, but having a bug really drives me insane!

I had a similar problem and this is what I found out.

If you send a message and it doesn't go through (network errors, you get another text or call simultaneously, etc.) it remains in your outbox (or drafts can't remember which one). When you do a soft reset (even days later), windows mobile immediately sends those unsendable texts.

Fix:
Delete items from your drafts and/or outbox folder before doing a soft reset.
