Repeated text messages? - EVO 4G General

Recently, I added my buddy to my family account and had his evo set up just like he said he saw mine as. During the course of about an hour or two of rooting, flashing, and downloading; I started getting the same text message he sent me from the parking lot to ask what I needed from Wendy's, and so far I've received it 38 times TODAY.
I thought this was his doing because of some odd setting I must have set, or a wrong sequence of flashing... perhaps forgetting to wipe a cache at a particular time?
The problem is, I also got a text from my girlfriend, and although not as bad, I've been getting the same one about a dozen times. She's on USCC.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? I've become paranoid to the point to where I've flashed cm7, and wiped all data without a restore, but I still get the same problem. Anything I could do?
Thank you in advance for your time, all feedback is appreciated.

Sounds like a network issue.

Do you have an Airave? Apparently this is a known issue with them and it pisses me off badly. There's no ETA on a fix either.

Oh wow! I actually do have an airave, but although the bulk of this was happening at home, I was still receiving some of these duplicates in the car.
That's pretty bad man, and it only started affecting me today :/

Had the same issue. The problem starts with the airave. Unplug it, then call sprint, tier two support. They flush something and it goes away.
I've have mine unplugged now, since it was the root of the problem. I would rather roam then go thru sms hell again.

I received about 50 from my dad the other day. I ahd no idea it was the airave because I received a couple more at work the next day... thanks

experienced repeated sms messages last night at home as well. unplugged the airave and the issue stopped... i also got flooded with what seemed to be backed up sms messages as well.

same problem and have the airave.

lol luckily i have never been the recipient of this, but i sure feel sorry for my friends... haha. Happened quite a few times.

its not the air rave, i have it but i received my duplicated txt's when i wasn't near it. try 30 something miles away from it.
i called in and im waiting on an engineer to call me back in an hour

AHA! Same thing happened to me last night. My dad kept sending me "Yanks and Sox are playing on channel 1127." I called him up bragging that there was something wrong with his recently purchased iPhone 4. Turns out it was me.

I had the same thing happen when i was with verizon unfortunately, seems sprint isn't the only one.

Bizarre occasional Problem with Messages - Anybody Else?

I have twice now had my phone send text messages it said were going to one person to a completely different person. This wasnt like me clicking on the wrong thread in the Messages app. This was opening up a new message and replying to it, whereupon as soon as i pressed send the whole screen loaded a different thread where the reply i thought i had just sent to the original person had gone to this other random one.
This is stock deodexed 2.2.
Yes I have had this happen many many times. It is very annoying and I have learned to double check and check again where my message is going. Not good when they go to the wrong places. I am on Damage 3.5

I haven't had that happen to me yet but I do have a similar issue. When I open up a thread it opens another one that wasn't even next to the intended thread.

No bit my brother had that happen few days ago with his incredible.. I had trouble with receiving texts 15 later then when they sent the txt. Timestamp be earlier than when I got it. And sometimes the timestamp will say its from the future the next day lol. Asked a sprint Rep and he said its a HTC problem and will comeout with a fix. So far I'm good at receiving texts right away. Was bugging me out and gf would txt and say well must be busy all the time..

This has happened to me a lot, and I've had 3 different evo's due to other issues, so its definetly not hardware related. Mine will do the same thing, I will click on somebody's thread, type the message, hit send, then when it goes back to the main screen, I see it sent to someone else.
Let's just say I have sent some things that I THOUGHT was going to my girlfriend, but instead went to my boss. That made for an awkward conversation the next day.
thought I was going crazy. happened to me once when I was either cm6, or fresh, cant remember.
But I replied to recently received message, and it went to a completely different person. The problem was it was something private, that I didn't want the dude even knowing -.-
happens to me too. and the"tapped one thread and another thread opens " bug.
Ive always tried to handle personal things with calls, this is a good example of why.

I've never had it with Handcent *hint hint!*
I had this happen earlier to me but I just figured I made a mistake, I'll have to watch out for it from now on. It also started giving me an error saying Radio Interface Resource Shortage but when I tried to call someone it did something that cleared it up.
This just started happening to me recently too. Seems to happen most when trying to do to much too fast. For example, type a message, hit send. Then hit back before the message sends and trying to open a new one real quick. It pretty much happens like clockwork.
This is with handcent on cm6. All in all its a minor inconvenience.
This happens to me at least once per week. As a former BlackBerry Tour owner, I was already used to this sort of bug!

Delayed texts suck.!

Don't you hate when you are having a great convo with someone, missed a great party, or showed up to work late cause of a delayed or getting no text at all. Arrrg I hate delayed texts. Freaking shocks me when I get a call and then all of sudden 20 texts come in all at once. Wish there was fix. Latest guys.

I've been having this issue too. Is it a problem on spirnt's end or a manufacturer hardware/software issue?
Best is when texts arrive out of sequence and delayed.
I hope most people realize texts are not as reliable as email, especially when sent between different providers.
No problems here but I did have this issue all the time with Alltell before AT&T bought em
Yeah, I get this problem quite often between my wife and me. It seems to be random when it happens. I'm thinking it's a Sprint issue, not hardware or software.
just stopped in to flame for your use of "convo" lol. I personally hate having a text conversation, that's why I have a phone. I try to keep texts short and sweet.

ahaha that must have went well...
A phone call will "normally" fix it. Sometimes it wont even make a call while this is happening.
Instant messaging seems to be the only way, other than a phone call, to ensure messages get through. And avoid pissed off wives/girlfriends.
I know, I am starting to rely on using google chat/trillian to get my message thru to the wife friends and all. I like the one about getting food for himself, that happened to me the other day and I was a unhappy camper sharing with the wife. But the thing is phone conversations i hate cause of akward silence. Texts is just straight to the point and easy to hide. hahaha
Look on the bright side.. You get free mobile-mobile. It takes 20 seconds to ask the question and receive an answer vs sending a text, waiting for it to be received and acknowledged.
This has to be one of those generation gap things. For years I hated texts and texting, still do. However it is beneficial to non time critical events.

and for those times where you cant call.
I don't know if im clients or google voice would eat up more battery. I used to go the gv route since that goes through the internet and not sms with the carrier. Of course it helps if the other side had gv too.

Atrix #1 - wifi wouldn't stay on. Return to store.

Atrix #3 - display won't come on but I can still unlock and click programs and they open. WiFi is buggy as hell and phone constantly loses wifi and microcell connection.

Maybe I am just too picky, but when I buy something I expect the damned thing to work. I am near ready to just say give me a different phone. I am tired of it not working.
For the record though, I love my Atrix. The only accessory I do not own so far is the lap top dock which I just can't justify the cost yet when I have so many other computers already.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease though I guess.
Did you get each of them from the same location? Did you record the serial numbers by chance.
Some people seem to be having quite a lot of trouble while others are not, so maybe there is a bad batch out there. It would be nice to be able to identify it.
Sounds like my Samsung Galaxy S days.
Ugh, painful.

Wow, I must be really lucky because mine has been absolutely flawless. The microphone is on the weaker side, but that seems to be a characteristic of this model.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I am just as lucky as you are. 3 Phones later:
#1: Flawless, fast, perfect, no lag no glitch no hangup. Purchased the day the phone came out. 1 Month and 2 weeks later...I went to check a text message and it never turned on again (tried everything). I miss that perfect phone, it was too perfect it probably killed itself.
#2: They sent me a used/refurbished/barely touched phone...I don't care what you call it. It would glitch and randomly restart a lot, the LED notification would blink when I had no messages, emails, etc. The unlock slider would move and freeze for a few long seconds before unlocking the phone.
#3: I am currently using this phone. It works well enough for me not to send it back for yet ANOTHER used/refurbished/barely touched phone. The camera app likes to not work when I need it the most and my LED light app does the same thing, it likes to disappear or not work. I re-installed these apps but same thing. Its probably just Android. The phone, while fast, does not seem as fast as my 1st phone. It has its hangups and issues but not enough for me to bother. Hopefully not a hardware issue.
And I am 90% positive that if I need a 4th phone, even after the first 3, they still will not just give me a new one.

Something that'd happened on every android powered device I've had

So... every phone I've had on android likes to play around with my 3g.. I get to a loading screen and it never connects to data until I press back and retry it.. again this is every phone I've had... is this normal?

Are you in a bad signal area? I think if it affected all android users more people would have a similar experience. I've noticed that happen in the XDA app, it seems to be better on MIUI than CM7 though, I don't know why.
i have never had this happen. i have only had owned the Dinc, with verizon, have had it since feb 2011. my wife has same phone purchased at the same time, as far as i know she does not have that issue either.
she did however have the problem of not getting text and phone calls.
i was however able to figure out the problem, after spending several hours with techs and a new phone, nothing helped. i had asked a tech at the begining if changing the phone number would help and they of course shot that down, well after the new phone and hours of reseting and trying this and that, i finaly tallk my wife into changing her number, even though it was poo pooed by the tech. guess what! fixed the problem imidiately, have not had that problem since.
sorry i know there are other threads, abourt this subject, but never realy got to tell what happen.

Caught tethering on Atrix at 7pm EST tonight

I posted this on the have you been served tethering thread but I think everyone needs to read this. I am pulling my battery now but ill get back online when I can (not using my Atrix)
So At&T caught me tethering. I turned on mobile hotspot for the first time today since last week and then **** hit the fan. Script running now that is renaming files, permissions and is even searching my dropbox files. It is looking for APN related files. That is just the beginning. I don't have much time to explain because im on the phone now and my data which was deactivated at 6:59 PM is now connecting me to a diffferent server and trying to change SU and telling me false information about servers and data. This really sux big balls like a hardcore virus so im pulling the battery until tomorrow. I will post logs and db files when I can. Don't tether using APNs [custom] because you'll get screwed. I don't see how this is legal.

I said the same thing as you today and over the weekend on here. **** came on fast. My phone is crippled and I never got a letter or anything. I've been with at&t 13 years with 3 lines and I was grandfathered on the unlimited data. Im getting UMTS speed even though the phone lies and says HSPA. I can't mirror HDMI, MMS is gone, not sure about SMS. Im not a developer but looking at the log file I wanna say root is is trying to be revoked and ROM is.being altered. I thought I.would never lose my hotspot but its gone.and I can't be the only person experiencing this. The log is telling the phone to appear normal to me so I guess someone might not even know they got throttlled if this happened to them while not using the phone. This all.started 7 hours ago and if they take anything else from me I might just throw my sim into my good old.Nokia 6120 because this blows. I hope nobody has to deal with this but get prepared!

Ok ball breakers. I might never post but I was trying to give people a heads up. Screenshots coming in a few minutes. I put the sim in my backflip and it crippled it as well. When you see the proof this quiet daily XDA user deserves an apology and expect some ball breaking in return....I can't tether and its gonna take me a few to get the proof together (I used tethering instead of paying for my old ISP) so I had to email all the logs to myself. If I uploaded the entire log files the message would take up half of the storage over at XDA so give me about twenty minutes to cut and paste. And before anyone says I photoshopped the pics let it be known that i'm far from clever enough to know what half of the stuff means. I compiled the first release of redhat about 15 years ago but forget the majority of what I knew. Stand by ball breakers and ball breakettes.

There's no way this is being caused by AT&T. The most they would do is change you to a tethering plan. Also, the Nokia 6120 was a TDMA phone, it doesn't use SIM cards.

Where this thead does appear to be hilarious this is true what im telling you. I am still working on screen shots but if this is not a tethering crackdown then what else would have initiated this script to take apart both my atrix then my backflip. It started the moment I turned wifi hotspot on last night and the motorola services and some other system services started going nuts. Webviewglue started killing all my apps, motoblur.contacts.unconnected appeared and took all my contact data, I think fluffy was another process killing and admob was having info sent to it non stop to do some weird ****. Root was not taken away but MMS is down and data is UMTS on boh phones yet they are showing their normal values. All of my APN related files were tampered with and dropbox is showing an x in titanium backup and the logcat said 27 files were noted. Maybe this is something else but motorola.xxxx blur.xxxx and system.xxxx files are the ones doing damage. I just find it very odd this would happen the moment I turned hotspot on. And one other thing is that when I pullup testing through *#*#4634#*#* the values when the radio are on are all false but when I shut the radio I get the true info. Is there someone that wants to see my logs who knows linux in and out? If this isn't tethering throttle **** then its something real bad that is ruining both of my phones.

It very well could be. Just very big coincidence that it was the moment teathering was used for the first time since the 30th. I know the network speed issue is coming from at&t. Im no genius but its pretty obvious by the logs and db files I have.

Ford jacked my car on the way to work this morning! All of a sudden it started to break really hard on the freeway, then the radio changed channel to a Ford commercial, my car turned around, and it drove me right to the nearest Ford dealer. They told me they reprogrammed my Mustang on the fly via WiFi to be an Escort because they caught me going to a Meidas and not a dealer for tires. My car changed colour now, drives very slowly, and the computer keeps changing the timing so I backfire all the time! Am I screwed? Please help me XDA!
