:eek: I HAVE JUST BEEN NOTIFIED BY CRICKET THAT EVERYBODY IS HAVING PROBLEMS ON THE NETWORK WITH DOUBLE AND TRIPLE TEXT MESSAGING AND SO FORTH. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE HANDCENT APP BUT IT TURNS OUT IT WASN'T. THE COMPANY HAS NOTIFIED THE EXECUTIVE TECHS AND THEY ARE ON THE PROBLEM SO IF YOU ARE WITH CRICKET CALL THEM AND HAVE THEM SEND A REFRESH SIGNAL TO YOUR PHONE FOR TEXTING AND THEN TEST IT OUT. IF YOU DON'T GET A MULTIPLE TEXT THEN HOPEFULLY YOUR CURED. IF YOU DO, IT IS A NETWORK PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WORKING ON IT AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE RESOLVED SOON. TO ALL MY HANDCENT USERS, THIS IS FINAL CONFIRMATION IT ISN'T THE APP! I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I AM SO RELIEVED! I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE HANDCENT AN UNISTALLED DIVORCE! I HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL WITH EVERYONE AND THEIR TEXT ISSUES! I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED IF I FIND OUT ANY MORE INFORMATION!:D
 
It happens on Metro Pcs too. I knew it wasn't Handcent, If it was more people would of been posting this issue under the review part in the market. ^.^ Thanks for posting though! Mine hasn't been as bad, I believe Metro has fixed their issue, I hope Cricket does soon as well!
 
I haven't been getting the doubles lately. I think cricket has it fixed in my area.
 
I use to get like 5-6 doubles for every text message, I stop getting doubles now. I thought it was because i had gotten a ROM on my phone, but i guess Cricket is just fixing their network. :) and how can you guys use Handcent? It makes my phone lag so much.. /:

Handcent has a new update. It has helped with any lag I used to have. Though, I didn't have much to begin with. I like handcent because of the customizing.
 
I still get triple messages and have for over a week! Very upset.....

BTW does anyone know how to make your messages stop appearing so u can read them?? I rather just have a notification...or do I have to install a app...
 
I still get double messages, but only if the text is 14 words , or more, and only with other cricket customers. I use my tracfone to judge my changes, and I think it's fixed, then my girl sends me a text, anndd... here we go again! She's pissed, i'm pissed, it seems to only happen with the cricket network! Virgin mobile, tracfone don't do it, just cricket. I hope it gets fixed in my area.
 
I wish that these third party apps for messaging, would contact google, and ask them to get their software to install in the apps, that way we could truly delete the stock app, so only the third party apps run. We could keep the compatability of android, and not screw up the system.
 
These text messaging problems are only happening with the android phones, my gf msmgr never sends a double text.
 
Maybe crickets network can't handle, or is not setup to handle androids, they wanted in the game, but maybe they didn't do their homework. I know many other carriers that don't have problems with their text.
 
Wow, Thanks. Not only do I recieve multiple text but my phone will send text twice. It will say msg not sent. So I'll resend and it works. Then when I turn the phone off and back on it will send the last msg I already sent again. Sometimes it will do it hours later ! LoL
 
No issues with this in my area of service here in Denver CO.
Have had phone for about 3-4weeks now nothing like this happened here.
Would be a pain in my azz for sure if it did though....LOL.
 
I have had cricket for the past 10 years, and this has been an issue since the start up. I am surprised that they are BARELY getting to this issue now. Thank god, though, we dont pay "Per SMS/MMS Message Sent/Recieved" like with other carriers.
