Just tried the updated ChompSMS also, both Go SMS and ChompSMS give me double texts, when these are removed from the phone, the default texting works perfect. It just started with the VZW update, this update is not playing well with third party SMS apps on my phone. Decided just to wait for ICS, which might be here around the 21 of May - per the leaks.....

I agree that it is linked to a network issue. It happens with GoSMS, Handsent, and ChompSMS. It seems to happen the least if you are just using the native app. I have discovered that it happens more often when the phone is switching between 3g and 4g. Rebooting will make the issue go a way for a while. It only seems to affect the 4G phones Verizon phones?

When I had Go SMS loaded and started getting the duplicates I sent an email to the developers asking for a fix. I didn't get a response and was fed up with the duplicates, so uninstalled Go to try Handcent which I also uninstalled. Yesterday I got a response from Go with an update to download and try. I installed Go again and downloaded the update. So far the update seems to work, no more duplicates. Thanks Go!

If the text look like this VZWNMN: 1 2, etc then they are from Verizon's backup assistant and part of the new sync and connect service . You need to log into your account and Disable this feature. I feel like it's a huge security threat and not needed

It is not just a 4G issue, as I have been receiving duplicate texts on my X2 for 3 months now. I was originally using Handcent and switched to GoSMS and the issue is still happening, though not as much lately. It is most definitely a network issue.

I have already explained where the texts are coming from and how to stop them and I had texting blocked on my line when I started receiving them

Your response was related to something different than what we are experiencing. I don't even use backup assistant and have it frozen with TiBu, so that is not a factor.
