All my text messages are sending twice? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi, long time reader, first time poster!
I have an O2 XDA Mini S, and in the last few days, my phone has been sending each message twice, or even three times.
Yesterday I did a hard reset to see if that would cure it and it did, but as I re-installed all my software, it started again!
Just wondering if this is a common problem associated with a certain program.
Also, I just sent a test text to my old phone and my XDA told me it couldn't send the message and put it into drafts, but my old phone received it.
If this isn't much help, I'll let you know what I installed, see if that makes it any clearer!
Thanks

Is it so hard to use search function?
It's a well known problem when U use taskmanager software to close message application _before_ U get "message sent" notification. When U close it during sending process message remains in Outbox and thats the reason that system sends it again a bit later.

I did search but didn't find an answer. I'll have a see if that's fixed it. I remember finding a small cab file that stops the 'message sent' notification, any idea what that could be? In the meantime I'll go search for that cab file

Do you have a taskmanager such as SPB Pocket Plus or Magic Button installed with the option to really close programs? If zo, add \windows\tmail.exe to the exeptionlist to prevent the sms program is really closes, this could solve your problem.
same problem with same ROM but fr version. :x I've no solution.... :evil:
I'm interesting by a simply explanation :!:
1-2tje:
Yes I have spbpocketplus. I'll do what you suggeat and test. Thank you
I have the same problem but with MultiMedia messages (not text messages) being sent twice. I think tmail.exe handles those too, so I'll try your suggestion.
Andre
If it doesn't work (e.g. for MMS), try adding the file "poutlook.exe" in the \windows folder to the exeption list.
This seems to happen when you close the messaging application before the text message is sent. If you wait 2-3 seconds after sending your sms before you close the messaging application you should not get this problem.
Re: Sending twice
Hi all, I thought i'd add my findings to this.
It has happened since the Wallaby's this has. I found it was down to not waiting for the "sms sent" nitification. If you shut the app before you get that notification it sends them twice. If you wait for the notification and then shut, you'll be ok.
I haven't tested this on the wizard as i use SmartSkey to close, which has an exception list, messaging being one of them so i only ever minimise it, but this was certainly the case on the older models.

SMS sent twice - Bug with Xda Neo O2 Rom ?

The trouble is that all my SMS are sent twice, once when i Tap "send" and always when i recieve a SMS. Someone told me it was a Bug with the O2 Rom, and fixed with latest Update, but i already run the newest O2 Rom...
I would flash the Dopod Rom, where evrything is fine ( i already tried ), but Transcriber is English then, and many German words are misunderstood...
Do you have any Ides ?
Can i install the German transcriber somehow ?

I used to get this problem on my Magician (O2 Xda II mini). I found that if I tapped on 'send' and then closed the messaging app, the OS sent the message but was unable to remove the copy from the Outbox. So the next time the mail app was opened, it found the message in the outbox and sent it. That's how you end up with two messages getting sent.
The only way to stop this is to wait until the 'message sent' notification is displayed after you send a text. This way you know that the OS has had time to clean up.
Seems silly I know, but I think it is just the way the OS works. I have not seen this yet on the Prophet but then maybe I have just trained myself to wait for the notification! :roll:
Mhm, this maybe it !
I wondered that everytime i recieve a Message, it says "Message send"
Thanks for the Info, i will have a look at this.
Do you have SPB Plus on your pda? Or another program to close applications?
Yes !
Someone told me that i can do two things to prevent Outlook from sending :
a) Wait 5 seconds until i get the notification "Message send"
b) Add /windows/tmail.exe to the exceptions in SPB Plus, so that Outlook (tmail.exe) is never closed, but always minimized.
Both work !
I have had this on every ROM that I have tried.... and as mentioned previously, I now just wait till "Message Sent" appears. I am using Wisbar Advance to close programs, which closes them totally down leaving the SMS in the Outbox therefore sending twice.

New SMS notifications - won't disappear

Im sorry if this has already been discussed but i couldnt put into words really for a search criteria, im sure im not the only person with this problem.
When an SMS arrives a little green 1 will show by the "letter" on touchFLO 3d, sometimes when you scroll to read the message the little green 1 (or 2 or whatever) doesnt disappear and i have to keep clicking the mail icon, or go into the WM6 message inbox to change it from "New" to "Read".
I think it happens with the email part too, not just SMS.
Anyone know how to solve this, it's as annoying as thrush.
Sorry about my punctuation, i'm from Wales, hehe

Thrush !
It's annoyingly slow to register as read... there may be a registry tweak but a search revealed nothing yet
Thats a Shame I really thought someone else would have susses this with all the tweaks and tidbits.
I am having the same problem but with the email notification. Anyone have any ideas?
I have the same pb any suggestion?
Just try to click on the message and it will be open in the text mode and then close it.
I guess what the last post suggests doesn't work for the OP, at least it doesn't work for me. None of my messages are highlighted as 'unread', yet the 'unread SMS' notification at in TouchFlo doesn't disappear.
Anyone has any idea how to get rid of it ?
Thanks
Have the same problem with email...stuck at 2 even thouch all mails have been deleted or read.
Thanks

May I ask if deleting the account itself remove the erroneous counter?

Guys,
Check your Outlook inbox to make sure there is no unread mails there. The TF3D does not show the Outlook account but the counter in the mail tab does.
I solved my problem that way.

excellent, that worked. many thanks !
You're welcome, this place is a plethora of knowledge.
unfortunately it turns out the cab works only until i recieve a new message, after that the '1 unread message' notification appears again and stays even after i've read the new message.... so i'm back to where I started.
still thanks for the help. any other ideas ?
came across this bit of software but don't know whether it'll act any different from the cab.
Have you looked through every folder in the account-tree yet? Make sure they're all being synchronised as some Imap\webmail accounts can act funny (Inbox\Menu\Tools\Manage folders).
But perhaps the only thing left is to backup and hard reset (without backing up the mailfolders of course)? And otherwise it means executing the cab every time it happens again..

SMS problem

Hey!
Can you send SMS from your HD2?
I get no error message, but my messages are not sent, I get a warning sign on the right of the message bar. Also, when I long-press it, I have "Retry send" option.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Anyone knows how to fix it?
Same for me. Any ideas?
I can receive sms but cannot reply back
Huh, got it fixed myself
How-to:
1. Settings tab
2. Menu -> More
3. Connections
4. Advanced network
5. Scroll to the last tab (SMS Service)
6. Set it to GPRS Preferred or set it to GSM (it's probably set to GPRS now). If it's already set like that by default and not working, just try to switch it
7. Reboot
I was having a similar problem..
I was on the Tube and I pressed send sms... obviously I had no signal which was fine but when I got above ground I pressed retry and absolutely nothing happened. At all.
Had to reset in the end and delete the message in the outbox and start a fresh. Bloody annoying!!
Hi,
Although this thread is ancient, i see it's still open and named "SMS problems" which is exactly what I'm suffering from.
I just purchased my new HD2 this month and ever since I got it I can't send any SMS. Whenever I try to I get a message saying "unable to send message". I have set my message center number and everything but it still didn't work. I called the HTC help center and they told me I should install the hotfix from the HTC website but when I attempted that, it said it wasn't compatible with my device????
I upgraded my official ROM from 1.66.415.3 to xxxx.4 again using the updates from HTC main site. Again I got the same message.
Up till now I'm still not sure what the problem I have is, and have no clue what the hotfix really does!
Can anyone help me out in babysteps? I'm still new to this.
PS. I did look through the other forums for something similar. It seems everyone's sending texts but to the wrong people, lol.
HELP PLEASE!

Are you using regular message application?
If so double check on you have ticked for delivery report for SMS and MMS in the settings
And check with your service provider its already activated to your sim card (this has noting to do with what kind of phone ur using, ask service provider to activate such service, if its available with them)

the X10i does not notify you if the sms was delivered, you can check by tap and hold on the message (sms) you send and a menu pops up and you select view report, it will show you if it is delivered or pending. it is a pain in the a$$.

I just called customer service. They told me on the right side of the SMS, there's an envelope. If there's an exclamation mark on top of it, it means its delivered...
I haven't use the regular message from the beginning.
Try using Handcent Sms, its free. And I have made customized handcent sms for X10.
check this forum handcent sms Modified to XPERIA X10 GUI
Once you installed,
On Handcent, go to settings/sent notifications/pick notify when message is received.
and do a test msg to a friend. It should show you an indication and you can pick custom tone.
Note:
if you get 2 notification for one message its because handcent and regular message both alerting for same event.
go to regular message and setting and remove all the notifications. keep only handcent.
Good luck

If it is MMS, then Exclamation mark, else Tick mark for SMS.....
Hi all,
I think I'm having a similar problem -
When I send a message, it definitely is sent - my friends are receiving them - but in Handcent, I get the blue-turning circle next to the message (as if it is still sending) and in the stock messaging app, the same message has the envelope with the exclamation mark.
Yet the messages ARE being sent.
This has only just started happening in the last day or so. I have installed quite a few apps to help save the battery since rooting - e.g. JuiceDefender, SetCPU, TaskPanel and StartUp Manager, but as far as I can tell I've not done anything to the SMS settings. As far as I can tell...
I'm on R2BA023, rooted, on O2 UK.
I've had a look through all the settings I can think of but I'm stumped now. This is the final niggle in my otherwise great new rooted set-up...
Hey - just wanted to update as I seem to have fixed it...
Not sure HOW, but it's one of the following. Seems to be something in "Startup Manager".
1) I had removed "Handcent SMS" for "User startup". Under the basis of "if I need it, I will run it".
2) Had removed the default x10 "Messaging" app from "System startup". It had 3 entries in there. I removed them all...
So one of those things broke the Outbox. As I mentioned, messages would send (confirmed by friends) but still appear as "in progress".
So, having put them all back in "System Startup", and rebooted, the "stuck" messages finally stopped being "stuck". Fixing it seems to have sent the messages again, but they are no longer "in progress". They are, however, time-stamped with the current time (e.g. today) and not the time sent (e.g. yesterday). It turns out they have been "sent" again.
Oh dear, I just tinkered to try to pinpoint the problem and I've broken it again.
Further edit:
Actually, far from having fixed it, it seems that now the "stuck" messages only send during a reboot.
Trying to send them when the phone is "on" just leaves them stuck in the outbox. If I power off & on, they leave the outbox... BUT the recipient gets them again.
Damnit.
Any ideas?

I dont think your rooting or any other application will affect this.
tell us what settings are u on when you go to :
On Handcent, go to settings/sent notifications/"What option??"
I think it's not so much the "rooting" as possibly "things I have tinkered with after I got power-crazy after rooting", i.e. trying to disable things I don't need from running at startup. Un-doing that seemed to improve it...
Odd that at the moment it sends during boot. So something runs at boot that sends my outbox messages, but it can't run once the phone is on.
I just uninstalled Handcent and used the stock app. Sent a message first time with no problems...
I will reinstall Handcent and take a look at what happens. I can't not have that app now, I love it (until I broke it).

its exclamation for all....
Well, re-installed Handcent. Seems to be okay now.
It's a bit odd, I never changed the settings in there, as far as I can tell.
Shiwantha, I remember that initially "Sent notifications" was on "Disable" but I changed it to "Notify when sent" when I was having problems, and it made no difference.
Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks for your help!
A quick follow-up... I like to give as much info as possible in these situations so anyone else who happens to find this problem may find something here that helps...
After re-installing Handcent, there are now two entries in StartUp Manager's "User" section. After my previous tinker-sessions, I could only see one to enable/disable, but I thought there were two before.
So I think that I "broke" one of those start-up entries.
For the record, it is working now and I have:
- Disabled ALL "Messaging" entries in "system" section of Startup Manager
- Left BOTH entries for Handcent SMS in "user" section of Starup Manager
The only conclusion I can think of is that by disabling the "Handcent" entries, I "broke" one of them, and so could only re-enable one of the entries. I assume the other one had some kind of SMS outbox functionality.
I'm just guessing though. But at least I can disable the "messaging" stock apps and it all still works.
FIXED. Relief!

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
In additon to owning the X10 I own the X1. The message delivery notification was driving me mad on the X1. With the X10 I noticed there is a red X if the message has not been sent. However, once it is send the red X is cleared away. I like it this way much better.
