Hi,
we had this problem with multiple texts, etc. I updated the phone with the latest patch from Samsung on Saturday. The phone has worked perfectly since then, with no repeats or lost texts

Hi,
Same problem here. Bought my handset (Samsung Galaxy i5510) from Germany unrooted and put my o2 sim in on Friday. A contact who is also on o2 texted me yesterday and have received the same message about once every three minutes since then. The Galaxy i5510 is basically like the Galaxy Europa BUT it runs Android 2.2 so I fear that a software update is not going to fix the issue. I have downloaded the 'BlackList' app from marketplace which allows SMS messages from a certain number to be blocked, but the app still saves the messages so you can go and check if anything important has arrived. This is incredibly annoying though, because otherwise I'm really chuffed with o2 and the new handset.

last night my daughter and her 2 babies were locked out of her house and she txt me to take her spare key that i keep. i never got the txt and she got fed up of waiting and had to call the abusive ex to break into her home. i finally got her txt tonight but it wasnt till i put my sim in another handset. these europa's should come with a warning... MAY MAKE YOU IGNORANT OF ANY EMERGENCY SITUATIONS YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OFF X

Thats the most annoying aspect of this problem. I've personally lost a lot of work through not getting texts I should have gotten and receiving crap I've seen a million times. Just did the fix through Kies and HUNDREDS of messages (many never seen) have poured in. I hope that is a good sign, so I'll let you know. I can verify that my complain to CPW HQ was met with courtesy and a promise of a solution, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for the next half hour with the Kies fix.
I'll let you know. 😐

I'm happy to be able to report I haven't had any repeats since the fix. The phone updated through KIES and went absolutely crazy for 5 minutes, where I got all the texts I SHOULD have received up to a fortnight ago - literally hundreds of them!
I'm still half expecting to get the old "What do you fancy for dinner?" from mid December, but so far so good.
Give it a try and I hope you have the same happy outcome I appear to have had. Meanwhile, sincere thanks to all you guys, for the "Trouble Shared" addage being true. Good luck and let us know how you went on. grin

Ok will be giving it a go tomorrow or at the weekend. Fingers and toes crossed.
Have you had any other issues with the phone not picking up or sending MMS? Mine has been a bit sporadic with the receiving of them, despite having credit, and 3g etc.
Hopefully update will help iron out most of the issues.

Hi there,
This is a common fault with this phone and it has been addressed. Its a simple fix, you need to download a program called kies from the samsung mobile website then pug in your phone after you have installed it. On the phone choose "kies." The software will open and tell you an update is available and just follow the props. I'd suggest backing up your phone first.

I haven't noticed any lag in receiving - obviously when I've known I'm getting a text - but to be fair, I'm just happy not to be seeing the repeats, so when the euphoria wears off I'll do some serious testing on it.
Anyone upgrading firmware will know they have success when all the stuff they should have gotten pours in all at once.
So far, so good!

Good advice. I'd assumed everyone was aware of Kies, but this is clear enough instruction and, as I've said already, I think its the answer to our problem. Thanks.

i have upgraded my phone to the latest firmware, haven't got a glut of new texts, but the i haven't been having the repetitive text problem in the last week, so maybe thats why.
Fingers crossed the rest of the problems will iron itself out!
Its also added lattitude and places....hope thats not the whole point of this update 😐
