I hope someone can help me. Over the past 5 hours I keep getting the same SMS message arriving over and over again. It's only 1 message, but I don't know how to make it stop.

Has anyone seen this before?

I had the same problem yesterday. I received the same message about twenty times. I thought it was the other person's phone, but after I turned it off that wasn't possible. Then I thought it was a Handcent issue. I uninstalled it and I still received the message. I reset the phone a few times, still no fix. Then this morning I woke up to find a few more PLUS a bunch of txts that I never received yesterday.

So, it seems like this was on Sprint's end.

Real tough to figure out how this occurred, since I was in the middle of flashing a new rom when the first text arrived. I tried rebooting, tried wiping all data and restoring with clockwork, tried re-flashing the rom and restoring with CWM...nothing worked. The only thing I didn't try was resetting all back to stock since I couldn't stomach starting over with rooting.

I finally just wiped everything and re-flashed the rom (using ACS syndicate fyi) and did not restore. The text still arrived twice in the 1st 30 minutes, but then not again. So, I took the opportunity to clean things up and didn't restore with CWM, just re-downloaded everything. So, about an hour later, everything was re-installed and back the way I like it, and the text stopped coming.

Most likely, it was a sprint data problem and all the effort was for nothing. but at least I cleaned out some programs I rarely use.

I know when I had visual voicemail issues I got the same android system message over and over for a while. It was very annoying. Not sure if it could be related but it was the only time I had something like that happen.
