So I rebooted my phone and I still have the problem. It's almost like the text sounds is glitchy and double rings but it's not just the sound twice. My phone goes glitchy for a second then it's fine. This problem also doesn't happen constantly (just the past couple of days). I'm wondering if maybe I should restore because something funky is going on.
no no no when the first text message comes in it is making a double noise really fast back to back
Turn your phone off and restart. Same thing happened with wife's iphone4 and this fixed it.
Question for you guys. Are you using iMessage and did you actually get double texts? The one time this has happened to me it was when I got the same message twice. Once as an iMessage and a duplicate as SMS.
I have noticed this issue comes and goes on my 4s. Rebooting it the couple times that I have tried didn't always fix the issue. It isn't an issue of getting two messages, one on iMessage and one regular, because I only have 1 contact that has iMessage capabilities. I have noticed that I will get double sound notification on incoming text messages when message app is not in focus. If message app is open to the person sending the messages, I get a notification even though I shouldn't. Seems like a threading issue, somehow getting two observers on the message notifications. I have tried closing the message program, but problem persists. I hope apple addresses this in 5.1. Any suggestions?
