double pictures received in text - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time my wife's GS3 receives a picture in a text message, she gets 2 of them. Phone is completely stock and only has the default messaging app installed. No others.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

1. Check mms configuration in Message settings (attached)
2. Try to follow your carrier guide for reconfiguring MMS APN (relevant data access points (attached))

Thanks. Can you help me understand why that would send double pictures?

I'm not a big expert of the subject, but it seems to be something to do with the MMS server receiving double picture-retrieval requests from your wife's device (by another installed app for instance).
BTW- does she have AT&T message app installed, because it seems to be a known issue with it: http://www.galaxys4forums.net/forum/12-galaxy-s4-help/2988-receiving-double-mms-messages.html

[Q] Cannot send/receive MMS

Hi
I can't receive or send any kind of MMS
Well, I receive it, but its stuck at "Downloading". And when I try to send one its stuck at "Sending.."
Factory reset doesnt help, flashing stock ROM etc. Doesnt work either.
Edit: Comes up a message "Cannot download message atm."
Edit 2: When thinking over it, it has never worked

It is becourse you are on wifi, mms can only be send and recived with the standard phone connects edge,3g,4g and so on.
I'm having the same issue, and have spent many hours on the phone with my provider vodafone uk, tried new sim, various mms settings etc, still no joy.
Your APN settings are incorrect. Ask your network provider to send you the settings for your phone via email and you can follow their detailed instructions for putting them back in. You won't be able to get historically received MMS messages but all future ones will then work.

Thanks for the answers people, it worked as soon as I activated data traffic (Tried after flashing Oxygen rom, dont know if that fixed it)

I had the same problem and had it fixed by having my telco send a 'configration settings' file over the air. This then added the correct APN details for MMS.

stock messegin question

Can you post a screen shot so we can see what you're talking about?
Possibly your time in your phone is off.
Check these settings and the timezone.

SMS time fix or clocksync application from Google play as suggested.
I think the OP means that the stock messenger app doesn't always get the order of the messages right. I noticed this a few times when I would respond to someone's txt immediatley. The app would put my response txt before the recieved txt... I don't know why it does this but this is one of the reasons why I moved to a 3rd party message app.

Screenshot attached.
The stock app varies in minor ways between firmware versions. I don't know of a setting to do what you want, but you could simply install a different iteration of the app that doesn't have the priority sender header.
.
I don't have it either. On NF6.

right, that's what I figured, Time to go digging. thanks
On stock NF6 mms app (I think Alliance uses stock mms), there's a check box in Settings for priority senders.

Good info, but it's not a standard option. It isn't there for the stock SMS apps used in the other ROMs that I've looked at. Probably something to do with the Dev's goal of making Alliance a highly customizable ROM.

No text notification sounds or vibration

Just the other day I stopped getting sound or vibration notification for my SMS. That's the only thing I'm not getting. The only thing I did was unsubscribed from the Verizon web access to sync my SMS. From there, I've tried changing the sound but no avail. Any suggestions?

What other mods if any have you done? Any xposed modules?
- Tapatalked From The G3 -
I've noticed this with messages sent to my Google Voice number. They'll pop-up in Hangouts on my desktop right away but I'll wait and wait and never seem to get a notification on the phone (though I get impatient and pick it up after about a minute and then as soon as I unlock the phone it decidesd to notify me.)
I thought it was maybe a Hangouts bug since they just integrated it with GV but maybe it's a G3 issue? I'm not rooted. The only real change I've made on the phone was replacing the stock launcher with Google Now Launcher.
This is what I have installed, but had no problem with them all enabled

go to your messaging app and hit the menu button and look at the settings in there, my vibrate was off.

A huge problem with The LG G5 AT&T :(

I bought a new LG G5 H820 (AT&T) unlocked to be used in Europe & I am having a big problem with it, unfortunately it's ruining the experience of the phone for me:
Every time I turn on data, open the contacts or send an SMS something pops up:
"AT&T Address Book your contacts could not be synced...."
I've tried to Force stop it, Delete data & Cash, but it did not help also the option to Disable it is greyed out so I can't do that either
Any suggestions to solve the problem I would really appreciate it?
I'm so frustrated about it since the phone is really not bad at all

Go to your dial pad and type *#*#2666#*#* and then hit registration to completed. The pop up should disappear.
