Xda mini S randomly sending same message - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this has already been brought up but I've had a quick look around but couldn't find anything, I would keep looking but it's costing me money!
Every time I send a text, receive a text or receive a call, my phone sends a message (it was a message I sent to my gf a few days ago) no matter who texts or calls me, or who I text that same message gets sent. It usually shows up in my Sent Messages folder. I tried deleting all my messages but it's still happening! I know a soft-reset will fix it but I'm reluctant to do that just yet. Is this a common problem? Is it fixable?

A soft reset will not do anything to your data so there is nothing wrong with trying that, although I doubt it will fix your problem.
A hard Reset will wipe out your data and return the device to original ROM condition (out of the box when new) - this will get rid of your problem, unless there is a hardware fault - worth a try. - Mike

Ah yeah, sorry I meant a hard reset, I've already tried a soft-reset. I guess this isn't a common problem then? I'll give it another day and see if anyone's got any ideas. Otherwise I guess it's a hard reset for me!

Phone is sending 2 Text messages everytime !

:?
My XDA appears to be sending two copies of a text message when I send it.
I'm running Radio 4.21.00 CE 4.01.00 on an O2 device, i've been through all the menus I can think of but can't see anything...
Could it be something to do with having / not having +44 infront of the phone number i'm sending to.??
Cheers
Neil
I had this happen to me just around Christmas time (about 3 days after I had the phone), anyone I sent messages to received 2, 3 or even 4 messages.
I contacted my provider and they said this can happen when the network is very busy (I thought it would be dropping them), but low and behold after the XMas period was over it all come back to normal.
I don't think I was actually sending 2 messages as I would only get one "Message Sent" notification come up, and only one delivery cofirmation received back.
If this is your experience then it is the network, if the problem is otherwise, sorry I can't be of anymore help
ive also had this running v4,21 radio and v4,01.00 tmobile s/w had it on v4.00.05 too i could send to most of my mates it would go blub messege sent only 1 credit taking.......
then for some reason only one my my mates numbers it takes about 3 x credit says balance is blar blar then again and again then all of a sudden messege sent. they are on o2 and so am i but she doesnt seem to receive them :\ this is only say like 5-10 caharacters long in the message so way under 1 text but i dont understand what the hell its upto yet all my other mates ones work fine :\ :?:
yes...same problem
Im using 4.00.005 with radio (listed below) and got same problem, when i send sms message to someone it recieves 2 or even 3 copies... i dont think network is so busy to send them twice or 3 .... maybe some fix ? or WM2003 error? HELP!
Monika u got this problem too?
Anyone managed to find a fix for this, or figure out why it could be happening ??
I hard reset last night to try and resolve the problem, but everyone is still getting two copies of any text messages i send them :roll:
Cheers
Neil
Ok, I may have found a work around for this..
It seems to send two copies when I tap "send" then tap the "X" before I have got the "message sent" popup.
If I wait until that pop's up then click the "X" it only seems to send one copy..
Are you guys that were having problems using any software that makes "X" actually close rather than minimize ??
(I'm using PocketPlus)
Cheers
Neil
i use pocke tplus too but i dont close it or nothing.... i just hit send it got blip chows credit blip shows credit again blip shows credit then message box saying message sent but it cost me like 30p for one bluddy text :\

threaded SMS not showing sent texts?

its an intermittent issue, but its been happening more and more. soft reset used to fix, but isnt anymore. my threaded SMS aren't showing my sent texts. the texts obviously get to the recipient as i get a response to what i said, but i cant see what i said. kind of annoying. anyone else get this?
EDIT:
yes, 'save sent messages' is checked
I am having a similar issue, but it seems that the sent messages do appear in the threaded SMS, but after a reset (soft) they are gone. It doesn't happen all the time, and I think they only save after I receive a response from whichever party I sms'ed. If I was the last to send a message and I soft reset, my message doesn't save. Not a biggy for me though.

That's standard in WM6.1 when you use the stylus to soft reset. Use psShutXP to soft reset instead of using the stylus and you won't see this issue.

[Q] SMS Time Error

Hello,
I am using an unlocked TG01 from Orange (UK) on Rogers in Canada (GMT -5), using the official 6.5 ROM. CE OS 5.2.21840 (Build 21840.5.0.60)
My SMS messages recieved are logged 5 hours behind current time. My SMS messages sent are logged at the current time. My suspicion is that it has to do with the origin of the phone, from the UK.
I have searched xda forums and modaco forums, microsoft, and google.
I have total commander, and have modified the registry in a few was, as described below:
I have added the TrustTimeZoneField field dword (in HKLM\System\Phone Settings\OEM ... or whatever it was.)
I have modifed HKLM\Time Zones to include Eastern Standard Time with the proper TZI file.
I have tried to set the timezone to another setting (like GMT -3) reset the phone, and then change it back, and it doesn't not work.
I have download a cab file that was supposed to fix it too.
I am looking for any other ideas, please, and thanks.
Also, My Voice Mail indicator does not come on when I get a VM, but comes on and stays on when I clear the VM. I get the blank text messages from the system in with my normal texts, that are sent to indicate VM has been cleared
i've been using HushSMS to clear my VM indicator, so if anyone knows how to make this work properly, that'd be great.

Anyone have the sms time issue on this device?
Have you changed the time zone in the clock settings??
On my phone (UK Orange, using O2 UK sim card) when I have my time set incorrectly, the txt message times are correct!

Yeah, I've tried that. There's an inconsistency between sent SMS and received SMS of 5 hours. I've tested it by sending myself a text message, and I recieve it 5 hours before I send it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe your phone time travels!?
Have you tried a hard reset? (Master Clear) Also the SMS times are received from the network operators, might help to call them?
Hey, thanks for the response Big K.
I'm trying to avoid the master reset.. it's about the only option I haven't tried. Technically it shouldn't make a difference, but .. i know how that works with Windows.
I did call the network and they were useless (surprise!)

Do a full backup of your phone using software like SPB backup, then perform a master rest, see if it works. If it doesn't, then you can simply restore EVERYTHING back
There is a setting somewhere to use network time etc, maybe this is activated in yours?
Seems like the only choice at this point.
I'll probably do it this weekend.
I have no idea where those network time settings are that you're talking about, and google didn't help at all either. Thanks for your assistance.

Did a hard reset, still no good.
Used Sprite Backup to restore all applications.
Think it could possibly be an app problem? I doubt it, but i guess i should have tested the SMS issue before restoring the apps. Will do another hard reset in the next day or two and keep updated.
Yes, that is what I meant......test the SMS out BEFORE restoring lol
Otherwise when restored, all registry settings etc go back to where it was! lol
If the hard reset does fix it, only restore your user files, such as txt messages, files etc. NOT program files etc and then test. Install a few apps and test. Few more apps and test etc!
Yah, that was silly on my part.
I will retest and repost. I have 2 days off, tomorrow and the next.
I'll let you know.
Ok, so i hard reset the phone today.
Set the time to GMT-5 EST. SPB Mobile shell 3.0.1 Build 136621 is hard coded with the Rom, by the way.
So, i sent a test message. Time sent 17:02, Recieved 12:02
I reset the time to visiting GMT-8 Pacific, reset the phone.
So, i sent a test message. Time sent 14:06 Recieved 09:05
Thoughts? Should i hard reset and try setting it to a different time?
If so, what time?
So I tried setting the time to GMT +2 after a heard reset, and the time was 2 hours behind on SMS messages.
I then set the time to GMT-5 (EST) and it went back to it's normal 5 hours behind.
When I set the time to London (GMT0) it comes in 7 hours ahead.
I'm officially confused.
Now i've hard reset and set it to GMT0 and it is in synch, sent and received.
If i then go into time settings and change it to GMT-5, it still works, in synch.
Ifi change the time to the proper time after changing it to GMT-5, then it doesnt work.. it is 5 hours behind on received texts..
My solution then: hard reset, set it to GMT, but set the time to 5 hours behind GMT... that should work.
What do you mean by,
SPB Mobile shell 3.0.1 Build 136621 is hard coded with the Rom
As the 4 TG01's I have had from Orange UK have never came with any SPB software
Do this.
Hard reset. DO NOT install anything or have the memory card inserted. Have someone send a txt message and see what time it is, don't even bother changing the time as the txts should have their own time.
This is what I did in post #12.
I hard reset - set the time, timezone and date during setup
As soon as it loaded, i sent myself an SMS.
The only way the time is correct is if I leave it on GMT0, set the time to current local time which is EST, but leave the timezone on GMT0.
If I do that, then the SMS sent and recieved times are the same.
I can't leave it like that of course, my comp corrects it on sych, and all my appointments are off by 5 hours.
and SPB mobile shell IS hard coded mate. See post in ROM Development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625791&page=2
I'm getting the same problem too and I'm on Rogers as well.
I bought my hTC TD2 (topaz) in Taiwan but I'm using custom ROMs.
So far, from all the ROMs I've used (custom and official), all received SMS are 5 hrs late but the sent time was correct.
However, if the SMS was sent from Taiwan, the received time is correct!
My cousin's hTC Magic is experiencing the same problem too, so i guess it's Roger's problem.
The SMS are following the network's time (which is set to EST regardless of where you received them).
You might wanna call Rogers to see if they have solutions to this (yeah... it's getting annoyed to see incorrect time when you are having a SMS convo.... sent time are 5 hrs ahead of received time )
Guys If its work with time zone 0 set it in time zone 0. I mean universal time you have 3 different chose one and that is it.
If i set it to timezone0 then every time my computer synch's with my PC it changes it to GMT-5
Plus, all my appointments will be off.
Guys, I found the solution to this problem
Like I said before, the phone is reading the time from the network's tower (for Rogers users, it's EST regardless of where you are in Canada)
Now, if you go and find a cab file called "Ziggy2016Fix.cab", it'll fix up the problem.
That cab file was used to fix a known SMS problem which is constantly showing year 2016 as the SMS received time, however it can also fix the time delay problem
It worked on my phone, let me know if yours work too.

If no one has any other answers you can always repair it through PC Companion.
i understand what you are going thru. I am not sure if its the same , but i had this issue with mini pro and had tried all the things in the world to see if that gets solved. My issue only cropped up with INCOMING CALLs and that too randomly. i tried reset , repair multiple times but not solved. Then finally when SE updated to the last build (which is unfortunately not rootable so far) my problem got solved.
i am sure its a bug , but mostly you can try and rename or delete your contacts (like some people reportedly had issues due to contacts photo , or something in the contact name - maybe special characters etc). If you have not yet tried the factory reset , please try that at the first place.

Please help: Receiving one empty MMS for every SMS that I get

Hi guys
It has happened twice now that my phone has started receiving an MMS prior to every SMS that comes in. The MMS is empty and it comes from "unknown".
The first time a couple of weeks ago, I was on the phone for 14 hours to fix it; re-installed everything on it including flashing SBF's and starting clean. Nothing helped. After a day the issue magically took care of itself.
Now it started again, 4-5 days ago. I have installed everything fresh (SBF to 1.2.6, 1.5.7 OTA & 1.8.3 OTA), did a factory reset & formated both internal & external storage space; issue still there on an absolutely stock phone. Called the helpdesk of my provider as well, they've never heard of the issue before.
On a desperate attempt to fix it I accidentally removed the messaging apk, took a good while to find one again..
Does anyone have any other ideas I can try? Please, it's driving me mad..
Hey guy! Did you forget about your thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086060&highlight=mms

Thanks for your help. I found it easier to start a less congested thread with all the background summarized. Hope I didn't crush the internet by doing so..
Are you using Handcent or Chomp? Is whatever you are using your "default" message app? I was getting duplicate MMS messages until I went into my actual contact list, selected a contact, then tried to send a message to them, it then prompted me to select my message app. I am using Handcent, so I selected Handcent and put a check mark in use as default. I no longer have the problem. Hope this helps...

Thanks for your reply, I am using Chomp sms and it is the default messaging app. It's not that though, I am receiving an empty MMS 5-10 seconds before every SMS I receive. It was the first thing I tried when I returned to stock as I describe above, issue was there. Immensely frustrating..
Bumping this up, need urgently advise as I'm about to throw the damn thing out the window..
Just spoke with the o2 helpdesk, there's nothing they can see /. They have now shut off my data connection, I have disabled all data and I am still getting that fckng MMS!!!
Update: Solved. Got a new SIM. Or that I asked them to freeze my data connection & the new SIM kick-started it again & removed the issue. Goes to show again the incompetence of (many) helpdesk agents; they insisted it was phone related..
