Multiple copies of sms being sent - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my wife has been having these issues with her phone lately. When she sends an sms it will duplicate it sometimes up to 30 messages will be sent when only 1 was intended to be sent. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be the cause? She is using the stock messaging app with stock rooted rom. I believe that super user access is disabled on it too.

Try doing a factory reset and see if that helps

Back up with Google!
Make sure your accout and contacts are backed up to Google before you reset.

So nobody has any idea or experience with the issue?

He probably doesn't want to do a factory reset on his wife's phone. I've done it before and you get *****ed at for days because they can never get it just like they had it before.
You might try backing up her messages and clearing all data on the sms app. See if it fixes it. If it does, restore the old messages and continue to test.
Edit: If that doesn't work, boot into recovery and clear dalvik cache and cache, then re-flash your ROM. That should fix it.
I'm guessing she's running the ROM you released in the dev section way back or a variant of it?
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

That's exactly it. Full wipe is pretty much the last possibility before buying her a new phone haha. I'm have to wipe caches and wipe data on the sms app. She hates when anything is changed and I hear about it for a couple of days. She is running the debloated one that I did awhile back.

Man, I'm good
Did you try reflashing? Nothing major should change.

Not quite yet, the seems sporadic so she's not that worried about it I guess. I read somewhere that it could also be a bad signal issue also.

[Q] Stuck on 7 Home Screens

Yesterday, right after purchasing my new phone, I clicked change home screen from 5 to 7, and I can't figure out how to change it back. The option in grayed out now. I'm sure I need to got to settings and empty a cache or dump data, does anyone have an insight?
You can only go back to 5 with a factory reset. The phone tells you that when you switch to 7 screens.

It should be the same like on the slide where you goto settings->applications->Rosie/sense(has picture of sense)(clear cache/data).

Tried this first, it sounded less painfull than a factory reset. Cleared the data, then rebooted. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the MT4g.

Try doing a factory reset on it and see if that clears the issue. You can do this from recovery.

You mean it's turning itself on or it's rebooting on its own?

If I keep using it for like 30 minutes (hard use) it reboot... How can I do a factory reset? Maybe that fix it...
PS: I notice when reboot it get really hot! I don't know if that is part of the problem..

You said your phone shuts off after hard use, and you said it is really hot when it shuts down. This sounds like a hardware problem. When the processor gets too hot, the device kills power to protect it from frying. Almost every computer has a similar last-resort power-off feature to protect its hardware.
Now the real question: What is making the device overheat? Most likely this is a hardware problem, but there is a remote possibility that the problem could be a rouge app.
A factory reset will remove the apps you installed. If there is an app running an infinite loop in the background, a factory reset might fix the problem. (I remember you said you are running stock without root, so there are no firmware issues. The only possible software issues are with your apps.)
I am sorry to say that you might have a defective board.

But why start doing that after a month of using it? The only new I did was using the maps app for more than 4hours... A friend toll me to clear cache on map apps...

If the problem really is hardware, it was a defect that made it past quality control. It's the same reason why a new hard drive might fail after a week of usage--infant mortality. Infant mortality is quite rare, but it does happen nevertheless.
Fortunately, Google's replacement procedure is quite nice compared to most other companies. If Google sends you a replacement, you can keep your existing phone until the replacement arrives. This way, you are not left without a phone temporarily.
Update! Did a factory reset and root it and it's good now! Looks like an app was causing the rebooting... Thanks for the help!

My nexus 7 just formated it self...?

I've been having random reboots like others have, but this time it set my tablet to factory settings and erased all saved data. I just came back from a vacation and I lost all my pictures and videos. Going to try to get a new tablet tomorrow.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Wow dang was it rooted? Hopefully this is just a software issue but it shouldn't be doing this on stock
I also experienced that when I first was setting up my tablet. I logged into all my apps instagram etc. It rebooted and everything was logged out. It was fine for 3 days and I just had a reboot but my data is still there this time

What? Provisioning successful

Hi, something really strange happened to my phone. I'm running the latest GPe ROM, and I haven't done any modifications to it in over a month. Yesterday, my phone crashed and rebooted. When it booted up, I lost all of my app data. The apps were in the state they'd be in if they were first installed, except completely unstable. Hardly anything was responding, so I cleared catch/dalvik and reinstalled the ROM/kernel. Same crap when it came back on. It was also stuck in a bootloop from the lockscreen. That fixed itself after 5 reboots. A few minutes later I received an Android text that said "Provisioning successful". It sounds like my phone was wiped remotely? I've never seen data just get randomly erased like that. I had to format /system and start fresh. Any ideas of what happened?

Yeah, my texts and calls were still there as well. I actually did flash KT a few days ago. Put AGAT back after 12 hours (got too many reboots).
I get that android provisioning also, started a week ago. It has something to do with visual voicemail and I haven't Ben able to fix it. There were several old fixes when I googled it but none that work. Haven't had a chance to call Sprint yet.

Are you just getting the text, or is your phone resetting?
Just getting the texts, they happen randomly and when I get a voice mail.
