Is anyone else having issues with the official alltel rom update? overall im really happy with it but i am having one problem. My text messages do not become "read" they stay as new messages unless i go over them and stop in tf3d or click on the conversation as many times as i have messages. Even after i reply to a message it still shows it as new. Its not a big issue just annoying if im talking to someone and have replied a couple times i have a bunch of new messages when i exit. Is there a setting i can change? any ideas?

Hi all,
I've been having this rather baffling problem for a while now where various people have reported that they keep receiving copies of text messages I've sent them. This appears to be happening with no rhyme or reason - Sometimes they re-send, and sometimes they don't. It happens to some people I send text messages to, but not others. The only thing I have observed is that these repeat messages do appear in my sent items and I noticed that one repeating text message was stuck in my outbox and I was unable to delete it.
I'm using DCD 3.2.0 with radio version 3.42.30. I don't think this has anything to do with DCDs rom or the new radio as I've had this problem for several months. The only additional software I had installed was HTC Home - I did a hard reset for now and didn't install HTC Home just to see if that was the culprit - No problems yet.
I've searched the forums and found some people having this issue in the past, but no solution as far as I can see. Has anyone else had this particular issue? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
this is most likely a carrier (network) issue and has nothing to do with your phone. if you're on verizon, try dialing *28899

Sorry - Forgot to mention I'm on Sprint. I've already contacted them and they supposedly reprovisioned my account, but that hasn't appeared to help anything. Thanks for your response.
i guess you could try reflashing, but like i said it sounds like a network issue so you'd probably be wasting your time. did sprint recognize a problem?
Yep, already tried reflashing. And no, Sprint said everything looks peachy on their end.
are you getting any kind of notification that your text wasnt sent? are they queing up at all? are you using SMS software?

Well, I occasionally get a notification that it wasn't sent if I tried to send a text message at the exact time I received a text, but I'm not sure that those are the times my texts would start repeating. No additional software - Just using the standard threaded text messaging that comes with wm 6.1.
i dunno man i would just call Sprint and ask them to reset/refresh things on their end regardless of how it looks to them. i'm not familiar with how Sprint works or how their tech support is. sorry i couldnt help more
That's alright, man. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!
well I have experienced this problem with before. This problems occurs when your texts messages are not send thru the first time...next time when access the conversation thread all of the unsend draft messages will be resent, thus creating a double message so to speak. what I found to fix the problem is to reflash and rerun the sprint cab. Generally this should fix the problem. If you are continuing to experience this problem I believe you might have a radio incompatiblity problem. I suggest to flash with different radio.

Interesting point. However, I've had this problem with several different roms and radios so I'm not sure that's the culprit. Also, I've reflashed several times and the problem keeps coming back.
reflash the newest official sprint rom and test it out for a bit. if you still have the issue then its obviously on the network and don't let them tell you otherwise.
Well, I've already done that as well.
I tried the newest sprint rom before moving to DCD. Well, I guess I'll go and harass Sprint. Again, thanks for your help.
Well unfortunately you are going to have to live with this unless Sprint steps up.......it is a Sprint issue and it happens to everyone.....but I can say it has not happened to me in a little while....I have ran many radios and roms and it still happens....every time you talk to Sprint everything is peachy on their end.....LMAO....
I'm receiving double text messages now on a lot of my text messages I receive. It doesn't seem to matter who the text message is from. It's happened after I upgraded the Radio, DCD ROM, and Bootloader to the latest versions below. I don't know if that's what caused it or if there is something wrong with the Verizon Service and I should call Verizon. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you!

It is definitely on their end...happens on Sprint to randomly....wont do a lot to call though as they don't have a clue as to why it happens,,,,,you will get the run around...."everything is fine on our end",,,lol
I know i have had this happen to me on alltel a couple times normally give it a couple days and the issue resolves itself no real point in calling CS they will just walk you through a bunch of stuff that have nothing to do with the issue
Are you using HTC home, by any chance? I've had this issue quite a few times before. I haven't had any dupe text messages after I uninstalled HTC Home - Just a thought.
No, but I'm using HTC Homeplug 1.12.0.0, but it was installed via the Kitchen, so I don't think it can be uninstalled. I guess I'll wait a week or so and if it keeps happening I'll contact Verizon if it does. Thanks.

It's still happening but not as often as it was doing it. I complained to them a while ago about getting email notifications as a SMS everytime I got a new hotmail email message. I wonder if they did something while they were working on this complaint. The SMS was from OZMail wish is a Verizon applicaton for email that I used, but stopped using. Well, I guess I will call them and see what they say.
Does anyone have a problem with texting on 2.1, where you can only send a single text message at a time? If the message takes up 2 or 3 messages it will not send.
I've checked the phones SMS settings and they are correct.
And can anyone recommend me a good keyboard?
Cheers.
Hi,

When I receive text messages from my contacts, their "sent time" is always behind by 5 hours. The messages were not delivered 5 hours late. It's just the time on the message is displayed wrong. The message I replied to them displays the correct time.
My brother's vibrant seems to have the same problem. It's not a big deal, but it's quite tedious to read messages when they are not lined up in the right order.
When I odin'ed back to stock ROM, this error disappears. However, when I flash Axura, Obsidian, the new Nero ROMs, they all produce the same messaging time error.
Is there anyone else experiencing the same problem? Could someone help me out here?
SELF reply
I fixed the problem by downloading "SMS time fix" app from the market.
Apparently this error only happens to certain Rogers users in Canada.
Anyone having issues receiving text messages? Apparently my messages are being received but im not getting replies... even tried sending messages to myself on Google Voice - I never get them... Only a few messages have actually gotten to me in the last day or so.
Did you just port your number over?

A week ago... just started happening.
Still having issues with this.. been on with verizon 2 days now and they cant figure out whats wrong with my phone. Ive factory reset several times, had them clear my account etc... still doesnt work consistently... What could be causing this?
Same here. Was wondering if it could be related to rooting the device, but I receive the occasional text/pic msg so I know that's not it. I do toggle the 3G/LTE settings quite a bit for battery conservation and I'm wondering if that could be affecting the delivery of text messages.
Any ideas?
