Go into manage apps and find the messaging app and clear the data (you will lose all of your texts)

 

Are you using the stock messaging app?

 

Try a seance. :^)

 

are they linked to facebook? Try unlinking and see what happens.

Or have you tried deleting all your text messages from that person?

 

I've had this exact same problem for two weeks now, and after reading your post last night, i downloaded SMS Cleaner and it seems to have remedied my problem. This app lets you delete SMS messages based on keyword, time, or contact. Hope this helps!

 

This thread has a possible solution:

You are very welcome HighVolt! Glad i could help!
I don't have much to prove this, but i think in my case, i first received the ghost sms message while deleting a message thread from a contact while simultaneously receiving a message from the same contact.
I've taken to deleting message threads at a time when I'm not expecting to receive sms messages and subsequently haven't had this problem since.

 

SO STOKED! I have been having this exact same problem for WEEKS. Not as sad as the poster's situation (hope you're okay, man), but I was getting pretty friggin' sick of the "no prob" text message from my friend showing up every time I got a new text.

I don't know why I didn't do a web search first, but I spent 90 minutes on the phone with Verizon tech support this morning, rebooted my phone 12 times, and deleted all my existing text messages to no avail. Verizon said I'd have to wipe my phone to solve it. (Boo, Verizon!)

Yay, Android forums!



Now if you'll excuse me, I have 3,200 text messages to restore. Argh...
