Xperia T receiving duplicate texts messages?

Had my phone 2 months now, but noticed i keep receiving the same text message twice, either straight away, or about 5 minutes apart. Doesnt happen all the time, but about 4/5 times a day.

I contacted my network who told me they havnt seen this for years, a 'mobile station error' where my phone doesnt always send a signal to my network to say i recieved it

They just told me to reset it, which i did, took it back to factory settings.....which worked for about 2 days, but i just received a double message again

Please can someone tell me if they no a fix, i really dont want to have to have the hassle of sending it back and wait for a repair

many thanks

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

Hmmm, I have the same issue on 2 Xperia T handsets. One now booked in for repair.

Same issue on O2 and 3 networks, in different post codes.

Anyone else having this issue?

Yes! In Australia on the Vodafone network same issue with the Xperia TX. Reset to factory default several time but the issue keeps coming back. Also when you check the power saver mode which turns off data when screen is off, this sometimes will turn off data whilst you're using the phone which is very annoying, I hope the new Jellybean update will fix most of these issues otherwise I'll be demanding another phone cos this is pretty poor.

I get duplicates all of the time on my Xperia T. I'm in the UK on Orange/T-mobile. Have just been ignoring it but may pop into the shop to see if they have any suggestions.

I have turned off the "extended standby mode" and since then I have not had a duplicate text. Possibly a coincidence. Sony have said this would not be the cause!.

Anyone else with the issue got "extended standby mode" switched on or off?

Hey @huggons

I get duplicate texts also but I got them when I wasn't using extended mode and I get them with so possibly not the cause, for me anyway. I thought I was getting duplicates because my cell provider is a bit cr*p but if it's happening to other people...

Thanks for the info.

My first Xperia T is now with SBE (repair centre). Will let you know how I get on. If they can sort it out, I will then send in my second Xperia T, that also has the same issue!
