Hi all,
I just got a Nexus 4 and am using a prepaid T-Mobile Sim with the 100 minutes unlimited data/messaging plan. Everything is working great except I am receiving duplicate text messages most of the time someone messages me. I was wondering if there is an APN setting or something else I can do to try and fix this annoyance. Was wondering if anyone else was having this issue.
Thanks.
My friend had this same issue.
The way we fixed it was power off the phone, take out the sim, power back up, leave the phone for 5 min, and then power back off.
Popped the sim back in and it was fixed.
When I see them next I'll ask to check their APN to make sure.
Hope this works for you.

Is it from people who are on various networks? Sounds like it could be a problem on their end. Every once in a while I'll get duplicate texts from people on MetroPCS, or Sprint if their networks are on the fritz. So try to have people from different networks text you and see if you still have the problem,

Same problem with T-Mobile germany... Senders are in different networks. I am receiving single messages up to 8 times. This happened on the i9250 nexus before, too. Same number, different sim card, different phone. Maybe related to cyanogenmod 10.0/10.1, as i never experienced that issue in stock. (To be honest, i was never long in stock Rom). The Problem occurs most times Ehen the phone is rebooted, or comes out of flight mode.
Which roms are you using ?

Just stock everything at the moment.

In general it's usually because of the sending party. Did you port your number also as that does cause it most of the time?
Nope, i just got a new sim card from my provider. I am a t-mobile customer for 14 years now, and never ported that number to another carrier.

Not sure if you have noticed this, but it seems to happen when I briefly lose service. When I get signal back I have noticed that is when I am getting the duplicates. I've only been on T-Mobile for a few days after I ported my number from Verizon.

AW: Duplicate Text Messages
I made a support ticket @t-mobile germany. They told me, that this must be a bigger problem related to the network itself. The next time it happens they want me to call them and provide time of failure and number of sender to them.
But, it didn't happen again, yet.

How do you fix it? I ported my number from verizon but it just recently started happening (maybe the last few weeks),. Using PA, most updated version.

Did this end up working for you?
Ever since I switched to att 2 months ago I have been getingvabout 20 spam calls a day.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
They been told to stop calling but now they call unknown caller and won't stop.

Try a call blocker.
Any idea what they are trying to do and what gender they are?, saying there phone number may help has well.

They are always random and ask about getting a loan

Try true caller it gives us the info about the caller so you could know if it is a spammer or not.
Froid, you should contact AT&T first with this URL: http://localization.att.com/loc/con...pid=ecomm&RIAConsoleLogLevel=4000&address_id=
I remember my mum getting that call when it was clearly a mother with a few children (it was heard in the background) and my dad went to the phone to finish the call and they will not call again.
If AT&T does not help you at all try getting hard at them (of course not at AT&T) but if you don't like doing that then you may want to try contacting your local police.
Is it possible to give out there phone number so I can inspect it?

For some reason it seems I can't get text messages. I could make calls, send text messages, go on 3g and 4g lte and I could even send SMS. But whenever someone texts me I can't receive it.
I have tried updating my prl and profile even that won't fix it. I could really use some advice....

Other than what you stated that you have already tried...I dont have a clue. Sprint could be in the process of upgrading towers in your area which typically does wreck all kinds of havoc. Call customer care and check if that should be the case. If not, try clearing cache for messaging.

This has been happening for more than two weeks. And my HTC one on the same network can receive texts just fine. Since i'm rooted i've been switching to different roms to see if I could finally relieve texts. I went from Sacs custom rom to CM 10.2 and I just flashed stock rooted MF9 but I still cant receive texts. I'm thinking about restoring back to stock to check if text's work. Any suggestions?

Call Sprint and ask them to re-provision/activate your phone. This resets the recognition of your phone to the neighbouring Sprint towers.
You might want to flash back to a stock ROM before doing so.. Just in case they ask you to do something on your end.

I'm rooted, and currently on Bajarom. I'm not sure if its Rom related because I have been on a few different roms recently and they all have seemed to do it.
My texts wont go through, or will I be able to send any.
The time doesn't change, the only fix is a reboot.
I've been tethering alot lately(50 gig worth) so the phone has been getting hot. I'll see something pop up and say cooling down and then its gone.
Could the hot phone have something to do with these issues?

Is anyone else having really bad problems with the talk to text feature on the s5? I came from the s3 and it was amazing (the talk to text feature) I rely heavily on it for texting and emails.
However with the s5 almost everything is wrong or garbled. I have rebooted and did a battery pull. I really can't think of anything else to do.
I am rooted if that helps.

I've used it a few times and it has worked great. This was after rooting.
