Duplicate Text messages

---

I use the stock text app. Non rooted, completely stock phone and I constantly get duplicate messages. When I receive a new message I always get 2 of the exact same message. Sometimes I even get 5 of the same message. I called verizon several times and had no answers. They told me they were submitting a trouble ticket. Can anybody help me?

I had this issue before and it was an issue with the carrier.

I had something similar with my DX. The only way to fix it was a factory reset.

I'm having this problem right now, too. I'm using handcent but the stock app shows the same repeats. It went away for about a week a few weeks ago but it's back again now.

i get it here and there with different phones. verizon issue mostly. had a solid issue for a bit, hasn't happened in a day or 2 at least.

That happens to me mostly when the text comes from a different carrier. ie sprint.

Well not that I wanted to do it, but I used Handcent to clear all of my text messages and so far haven't received another dupe. Only been receiving from one person tonight, but she was one of the few that I had horrible duping problems with (3-5), including some earlier today.

Only with one person was I.getting duplicates. At first it was 2, then it was 5. Im using habdcent, but even the stock text messenger did the same time! We are both on same carrier though. :uugghh:

Ive done a factory reset, called the carrier and used a different text app (gosms and handcent)
Nothing fixes it, I even tried the anti text bomber

Try the Handcent that was released yesterday. They added an option to completely disable the built-in text app. That setting is off by default so you need to turn it on (both SMS & MMS is the option).
