I looked through the posts and apologize if this has been asked already but since I switched to froyo I am unable to send pictures via texting. It just keeps saying pending and the picture is never sent. Just reflashed my modem but no success. Wondering if someone else is having same problem and if there is a fix for it.
Thanks

Over the last couple of days my messages have been acting weird.
I'll send a message, and then when someone replies it will show that I received their message before I sent mine.
Has anyone else had this happen?

I think there may be a problem with the HTC time servers. My phone is currently 12 mins ahead of the rest of the world!!
I have seen posts on the vodafone forum concerning time errors.

Okay, thanks for the info.
Also my weather hasn't been updating for the last 2 days , so i'm guessing that's related to their servers aswell.
i had this i fixed by disabling auto time update then set manually then switched back to auto then set manually again before finally selecting auto (rebooting phone after each change)
this fixed it for me, might not for you, yours might only need changing once but worth a try
First of all apologies if this has been covered before.
My son in law got himself a new Atrix yesterday and so far he is very happy with it. Exept any txt messages he gets keep coming again and again about every 1/2 hour this has been going on all day and I am the one he is blaming as I was the one who recommended the Atrix to him.
If anybody has had this problem or anyone knows the answer I will be much obliged as the way things are going I will not get any sleep tonight.
Sounds like someone is using SMS Bomber to send him repeat text messages. Download Anti SMS Bomber from the market, and make sure it runs all the time, that should do the trick.

Is it the same exact text message over and over? I had this happen to me last night, except it was the same exact text coming from my girlfriend.
I turned off my phone for the night and the next morning I received about 30 text messages (all from her) saying the exact same thing. I solved it just a little bit ago with an SBF flash.

This happens to me anytime my phone is off or in airplane mode and someone texts me more than once. The first one sent comes over and over again.
You don't have to SBF flash.
With the phone on, pull the battery (and I reseat the sim, but that's probably just silly) and pop it back in. I usually get the message one more time and then any that were queued up behind it.
I use GoSMS but I also got it with Handcent... Stock doesn't seem to do it.
Oh. I had mine with the SMS app (from GBlur). I think I had a total of ~170 messages from her saying the same thing. I did all of that and even tried separate SMS clients but nothing worked except an SBF flash
Thanks to one and all for your advice.
We sorted it in the end by phoning Orange and they advised the pull battery while the phone was still on. After re-boot they pushed all the queued up messages. Up till now things are looking OK but S-i-L is a bit reluctent to try messages.
I think he is either going to try the Anti SMS Bomber or SBF flash, it's up to him I got into enough trouble for recommending the Atrix. He is now trying to do a swap for my SE Xperia Arc. (Thinking about it).
That does fix it... it is of course subject to happening again if he gets a message while the phone is off. Fairly easy fix though, i've never had to have them push my messages. My wife sends me enough that she pushes them for me
Totally trade him!
Yes, it still happening with me. Try to disable Cell Broadcast on Wifi & others configuration menu...
Mine doesnt have this menu, but i edited it on settings.db and still spamming the sms.
@Edit
Look at HERE
Ive had the Atrix since launch never had this problem, my buddy who i recommended the Atrix started getting 20+ same text two days ago. Then yesterday I had the same problem for the first time. We both called Att, they were useless. The problem resolved itself for both of us last night. A bunch pushed through all at once. No sbf no battery pull, but if it happens again I def will pull battery. No duplicates in 24 hours, glad thats over. My phone was definately not turned off or in airplaine mode when it started.
This all points at a network level problem. Why would the phone redeliver its own texts?
We had this with another phone here at work a while back when someone was abroad and it was a network level issue that caused it.

We were able to disable Cell Broadcast through Wifi settings don't know if it will help but don't think it will do any harm either.
beatphreek I am close to closing the deal.

I agree, I'm assuming it's happening when sending to you fails somehow, out of range or no signal or whatever (airplane mode, shutting down system) and the request gets stuck.
Sad that AT&T can't get that fixed though.
Okay so no duplicate text since I posted yesterday, or, two days ago.? Just sent my buddy (^who also had the prob^) a text asking it he had gotten anymore duplicates. I received three back that said "no". I sent one saying, "are you joking?". He called and asked if I was f***ing with him, hes getting duplicates of my messages also. So the issue went away for 48 hours and came back when I mentioned it!! *facepalm
Pulling the battery doesn't help! The issue resolved itself before w/o a factory reset so I am hesitant to do one. I agree with the thinking that it is a network issue. What would you do XDA friends?
EDIT: Im on 4.1.83 GladRoot GingerBlur. He is on 4.1.83 GladRoot NO GBlur. Im using Handcent and I think he is too.
I Still with duplicated messages... thats making me replace atrix for anything else... just atrix have this insue.
I'm happy to say that since I last posted on this thread there have been no more mass duplication messages
I am extra happy about that as I did the swap and am loving My Atrix.

Are you running root call blocker? Or any root apps that require access to the calling permissions

Yes i was, but I uninstalled it recently. I am no longer getting duplicate texts. my friend IS still having the prob. Att has sent him another Atrix, we are going to copy his apps to the new phone soon and see if they stop.
Is there an issue with RCB on the Atrix?
Interestingly im running that too. I haven't seen the issue in a week or so but next time I will try disabling it too. I know everytime it gains root access it FC's the Voice Commands app.

Hello all,
Got my tf300 about 2 weeks ago and am loving it. I have one minor issue that I would love some input on. Whenever I am not using the tablet for a couple of hours and wake it back up, the wifi gets stuck on "obtaining IP address."
I have it set to keep the wifi on when sleeping but it still seems to cut out. I can make it get connection by unplugging my modem and router for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
It's nothing big but just a little annoying to have to do this every time I want to start a new session.
Thanks in advance!
PS I am an uber noob with tech stuff so please dumb it down for me.

Hey everyone, this is my first post and I really hope someone can help...
So the weirdest thing happened few hours ago. I was working and when I checked my phone I had 2 missed calls, both unsaved numbers. So I called the first number and this weird person kept asking me if I could talk. I kept asking who is on the line but the other person was just asking me the same thing over and over again. They spoke my language (not English) but with a thick accent so I knew they were foreign. I hung up and called the other number and it was my friend, whose number I have it memorized but it was also showing as unsaved number in my call log. She told me that she hasn`t tried calling me earlier, even though her number was showing as a missed call.
After that I spoke with my wife and the connection was bad, crackling and not very clear (this hasn't happened before). Then, I tried to write an SMS but I struggled as the letters seemed not aligned (also never happened before). The next time I removed it from my pocket, the flashlight was on. So I restarted it and checked my call log again. Those two missed call numbers? They were now gone from the call log. Also, it seems my battery drained much quicker after that, though I don't know if that's my mind playing tricks on me now.
It's been a loooooong day and I really didn't need this to happen now.
I really hope someone can help.
Tnx

Download and anti virus and do a complete scan
Also check if any application is installed on your device about which you don't know.

I installed avg and did a complete scan. The only weird thing was Tunein Radio Pro was shown as intrusive adware (weird...), which I uninstalled. Nothing else except that.
Also, I looked at my app list and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
I should also say that I do have a person in mind who might be interested in hacking my phone, though I cannot say they have tried. I'm just saying they have the means to do that.
Obviously I will not just drop this and forget all about it, I was wondering if there is a way for my network provider to locate the number (which I don't have since it mysteriously disappeared from my call logs) and explore it further (if yes - how?) or I am better off just doing a factory reset and will that rectify the problem?
tnx

Hey.. I wish I have smoked something...
It was very weird, it felt like Twin Peaks with the weird phone call and the problems with the phone afterwards.
Now... I should also say that I'm not one of those paranoid guys wearing aluminium hats and claiming that the government is trying to poison us all... But you can imagine how freaked out I am, since the whole thing made me create an account here so I can post this question to you guys.
I am not a phone expert (far from it) but I'm not a beginner too, so I know when something weird happens.
Any constructive idea what to do next is welcome...
PS.
I just remembered, a day before that, around 11 pm, I got a call that was a wrong number. Now, I know that a wrong number is a wrong number but the guy was mumbling like he was trying to hide his real voice. I'm wondering if that was connected in some way with what happened the next day...
I repeat, I know how this sounds. ( but I assure you I'm just a normal guy and not a weird conspiracy theorist. I'm just connecting the dots now.
Human imagination has no limits
I have more than 5 phones
I received the wrong calls from unknown numbers and any abnormal events, but I never imagined that someone hacked my phone or watch me
Probably because I'm not Paris Hilton
Do not think for ****

yeah I get what you are saying, as I said a wrong number is a wrong number. But I am more worried with what happened after that. Do you have any explanation for the number being erased (not by me) from the call log and the weird things with the phone just after that happened? The problems I described that happened after the phone call had never happened before that...
I think you should just do a factory reset and calm down a bit
