Droid 2 sent out old texts on it's own???

[dyingtolive15]

So today my Droid 2 randomly sent out a bunch of old text messages to about 8 contacts. They were texts I sent from the last week and some people received about 5 at once, others just got 1.

I have no idea why it did this. Sometimes I don't have great service in class, but my messages go thru. The texts were sent from different places also.

I use Handcent SMS fyi.

I am really clueless on this one, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

It might be the Handcent SMS app. I use google voice myself and have not run into that problem. uninstalling the app and reinstalling may help

 

[Droid DOES!!]

My girlfriend's D2 does it too! Her's is after she reboots the phone. I was thinking that Handcent may be the culprit but I'm not sure.

I experienced the same with my original Droid. (A855) after a phone reboot. I use handcent SMS as well.

Can anyone attest to this.happening without a reboot? Definitely annoying even on a reboot, but just curious.

Mine never did it on a reboot but I can verify that when I had handcent it would send AND recieve duplicate texts. Switched to chomp sms and it hasnt happened since.

Im a D1 owner, with Handcent (Like most of you), and about a month ago I went into an area with no service, and when I came out my phone sent day, week, and even month old texts to a majority of my contacts I had threads with, some receiving more than others (As many of you have also reported). Now since then every time I reboot my phone if I have threads in my Handcent, all they people will get spammed with old texts. This is extremely annoying, and in some cases pretty disturbing seeing as some texts I send I only intend on that person seeing once (i.e argument, or drunk texts lol). I suppose the only way for it to end is to constantly delete your message threads, or delete Handcent, which as a Verizon customer I cant really see living without Handcent. Anybody have any other suggestions??

Totally hear you on the inconvenience of that happening with drunk texts and arguments.... been there.. lol. I switched to Chomp SMS. pretty similar really, only gripe about it so far is that it only has the option to do a blinking LED, no solid LED for notifications. The solid LED is much more convenient in my opinion.

The past few updates for Hancent have been so buggy for me I switched back to the stock SMS app. The only thing I missed was the popup, but I used the amazing app Tasker to set up a popup with reply with the stock sms app.

My R2D2 has been resending messages on almost every reboot. Last time it about froze it was sending so many, so I turned it back off, rebooted and immediately set it to airplane mode. Deleted all the messages and turned off the airplane mode. It didn't send then! But it was a pain. I believe I'm just using the stock sms though, still new to this so I'm not sure.
