Galaxy 3, ATT, deleted texts.

[Android Question]

So here's my thing...And I don't know why it's doing this, obviously. It seems to only happen with one person, my girlfriend, who is on the Sprint network (if that helps), but I'm not sure if it's just her. I will get a notification on the top of my screen that says I have a text. I can even read it when I swipe it down, and take a look. And at one point today, I had the contact message screen up when I got a message. It appeared for a moment, and then vanished. But when I go to the Messaging app (the one that came with the phone), the message is gone. However, it shows up in the ATT Messages App, that came with the ATT package.

I'm not sure if it's related, but whenever I get MMS from people, it almost always duplicates it, so I get two in my messaging.

Bump. I'm also noticing a HUGE thing. When someone sends me an MMS and I look at ATT messages, the text duplicates itself up to 100 times (so it looks like I have 100 messages that are all the same!)

I'm starting to hate this phone, a lot.

Hi bookwyrm, and welcome to AF

This is a bit specialised, so I wonder whether it might be better in our Galaxy S3 forum? That way it's more likely that somebody with the same phone/app will see it (because this sounds like the ATT message app is a factor, and I don't know how many of the guest questions team have ATT S3s and use that app, so more eyes may help).

I'm a Brit, so don't know ATT software at all. So for example, I don't know whether the ATT messaging app includes some sort of internet messaging as well as SMS/MMS? If so it could explain why it sees messages which the standard app doesn't, and why it might affect some senders only, but that it just a crazy, top of my head idea and could be completely wrong.

Best would be if you could compare notes with other ATT S3 owners, and the forum I linked would be the best place to do that (though if anyone who does know this software sees this, please feel free to make suggestions ).
