Alright, So I'm on CM7.2 RC0 KANG. I have the stock UCKH7 modem with Default APN settings (Default for CM7.2). HSPA+ and 3G are enabled, never seen my phone's 2G/Edge icon, don't even know if it has such.
Most of the time, I recieve and send texts on time. But the last few days (and occasionally before) I send a text, it says it's sent on my phone, but the end user doesn't get it for a couple of hours. This is happening with certain people/networks.
I haven't seen this issue with Sprint users (I text 3 sprint users about 30 a day in, 30 out combined). They are able to receive and send me texts with no issues. (so far)
As for ATT, I text my close friend very often, nearly 50texts in and 50 out a day. Lately she receives my text around 12PM every day if I send my texts out after 9 or 10PM. I get her texts at around 4AM every day (they just woke me up, about 10 of them).
My other friend on Verizion usually gets them, but today I just got 4 texts at the same time as the previous girls texts. Just a bit before 4AM.
I don't know of anyone on T-Mobile, but I'll try to test it out with mates from Uni.
It's not location based. Sometimes when I'm texting from different locations this happens as well. Yesterday I was out shopping and two conversations died, they stopped replying, and I got all their texts some time during the night.
Before this phone I had a 3GS and I -never- had any of these issues at my house or on the move, so I know it's not my area.
Does anyone know what this is? My phone's defective? Bad modem? Bad antenna?

Go into messaging hit menu select setting go down to sms settings and you message centre number should be +13123149810, maybe that is it. Make sure auto-retrieve is enable as well.

Btw, don't think the S2(ours atleast) had CIQ. Lol
Its an issue with my phone. I got my mates phone and sent the girl the same text from both of our S2 and she got his. Replied too. Gonna call ATT to see if I can get a replacement. Same rooms and same modems. I rooted both phones. Good thing my jig just came in.

I was curious if this was something that would be Rom related or phone related so I know where to start trouble shooting.
People lately have been telling me they are calling but I am not receiving calls. In my house my phone gets a horrible signal anyways and sometimes goes into roam but I have been at work and people have said they are calling me and I don't have missed calls.
I am on Vipers latest and have the current radios installed as well. I have done a reflash and still the same.
Not sure if this is related but I am also sometimes not getting text messages till later times. I got a text two hours later last night and most of the time it seems when people text me over 160 it takes some time to get the 2nd part. I can send and receive just fine with others but the over 160 text will pop up maybe 10 minutes later.
Sorry if this is jumbled to anyone.
Lotsa drop calls here too, switched to CM mod 7 and it's fixed. I think it's sense related when you have 3g/4g/wifi working
There is two possible problems to this, one is your rom. Try flashing a stock rom for a few days and see if it clears it up.
Second, and most likely, is just bad network connection. You say your phone bounces between roaming and sprint at home, when that happens you will always miss calls and get texts late. Nothing much you can do about that except get an Airave from sprint or switch carriers.

I get horrible signal in my house. I don't want to buy an airave though. I'll flash a stock rom and go from there.

You don't have to buy one, just call sprint and tell them you have bad signal in your house, and you are thinking of switching unless they give you an Airave. They should give you one for free without much hassle.
But try the stock rom first just to rule out any software problems with the rom you are on.
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but it appears I am not receiving some calls and/or receiving text late or not at all. I wondering if setting the Roam setting to "Sprint Only" or "Automatic" makes a difference. This seems to be an off and on issue. Also it is starting to get on my nerves when I get text VMs atleast 3 hours after the call was made to me (keep in mind my phone never rang during those calls).
Anybody have any solutions, besides throwing this cool "buggy ass" phone against the wall?
This is a nice phone but it definitely has some bugs to be worked out. Or is all the problems related to Sprint's F'd up signals? My wife has the EVO3D and has none of these issues... wtf.

I have researched the issue and it appears this issue is not uncommon. There is already an established post started for this issue, titled; "Anyone else having reception/signal issues?" Right now it appears one the ways to fix this issue is having Sprint re-provisioning your phone. Some have claimed this has helped.
I am planning on doing this myself sometime today.
But it does seem to be a Sprint conectivity issue and/or an issue with the phones antenna.
So I called Sprint and they had me reactivate, but signal still seemed to be a problem as it still roams. They recommended I take it in and get it replaced. So that is what I am going to do as I am just under the 14 day period.
not receiving calls
are you guys still having the same issue or have a work around?
I'm also not getting calls and when I try to make calls, I receive text messages that was sent in the past. I tried to contact customer support but all they've done was have me update profile and restart the phone. This is getting ridiculous specially missing some important calls.
Complain and get a free Airave. Then you'll have perfect call quality and 5 bars everywhere in your house. Done.

I have been missing lots of calls the lastbfew days, and even wasnable to replicate the issue at my house. If my wife's phone calls mine, it will ring until voicemail on her end,and I get nothing on mine unless I leave a voicemail. I have steady, if not great signal on both (100ish DB).this is only the case for incoming calls, as I can always call out from home with no problems.
I tried that scenario a coupl dozen times, and got through 4 times.
I found two workarounds so far that seem to work consistently. (Both from other threads, can't take credit for finding them, but I did test them extensively. )
1. If I am on another call, I will get the incoming call everytime. I just dial voicemail and have someone call me to test. Without fail, the call center through.
2. Turning GPS and all location services on under settings -location. Strangely enough,all of my dozen test calls have gone through after turning GPS location on. Turning it off brought the usual 20% call success rate back.
Odd to say the least...

It isn't a signal issue, the phones just don't ring. I have this issue and have full bars when attempted calls do not come into the EVO LTE. I can make calls out fine, just no received calls. Also to make this a more peculiar issue, I go down the highway a couple miles and it works fine.
I have called Sprint and followed a blog on sprint.com http://sprint.r.delivery.net/r/c/r?2.1.GT.2Z2.1hiUnF.DfhoXq..N.1QNCs.4RAa.bW89MQ__DObeFTE0 where others have the same issue, even in the same town. Sprint has followed up with no issue and ticket closed. It is currently open again..
My girlfriend broke up with me over theses missed text messages
and i missed important calls. I called sprint he had me turn off the phone while they refreshed it. Working ok so far i will say this i unrooted my phone and when i woke up i had 48 text messages from the previous week and eight voice mails from three days ago, i wonder if everyone with this problem was rooted as well.

I had the same problem with me evo 4g and evo 3d...
I had same problem. Only way to get texts or calls was to call my voice mail. Sprint started a ticket, but since I was within my 14 days I exchanged the phone. Good thing I did cause Sprint closed the ticket on me telling me it was due to system upgrades. But it was not the network at all. As soon as they activated my new phone everything worked perfect. It was the phone the whole time.

Try This...
I have an epic4g touch and this is the only "Band aid" that has stopped me from smashing my phone!
What I would recommend doing is using Google voice as your voicemail provider. Go to the options menu on the website and have it send you an email when you miss a call.
Google voice will always log the call even if your phone does not ring. For somebody like me who uses this phone for work, it definitely helps. You may miss the call but you will at least know that you missed the call and you can call them back.
It has saved me many times!
Over the past 3 days I haven't been able to make/receive phone calls/texts while I'm in my neighborhood (which normally I get great service on 3g/4g). Literally everywhere else my phone works perfectly. I called sprint and they said to take the phone to a store, which I did, and the store replaced it. After work when on my way home I made call just to test if that fixed the issue and it didn't, still not able to make phone calls/text messages in my neighborhood but data still works. Also we have 4 other phones on sprint none of which are lte devices and all are working perfectly which makes me think something in the tower is messed up or they're upgrading something but if I'm not mistaken sprint's voice/texts go through their 1x network. I'm confused, called sprint again and they're sending me that airwave(I don't know if that's what its called) for free. I hope this will fix it but does anybody know what it could be/if anyone else has experienced this? Maybe someone from sprint who's on here could enlighten me as to what's going on?
Thanks,

When you say great 3g/4g, you mean wimax? No lte out. I get bad reception in my house and a few other areas, but so do all sprint phones. Weird that it's just affecting you.
Also, I've heard many people say sprint is giving them a free airrave, but then still get a monthly charge for that. Maybe it's changed but double check that.
Sent from my LTEvo
Yea I meant wimax when I had the galaxy s2...and yea I'll definitely keep an eye out for that...I asked the person on the phone 3 different times if there would be anything added to my monthly bill or a one time fee and she said no b/c I didn't even request for one, I was simply just trying to find out if something was going on with the tower since we narrowed it down to the 1x network which wasn't working on my phone at the tower I was connected to...and randomly I get transferred and she says we will be sending you one...so I definitely didn't say no

Did you recently use the google voice integration? I did early on when they offered it and it borked my calling and texts but not data. It carried over from phone to phone, blackberry and two different android phones, as it is an issue with the line. If so disable the gv intergration and call Customer service until you get a tech that understands that gv may have borked it and resets the line with the network. It took me nearly a month to get mine fixed (in store, online,and by phone repeatedly) and when I finally got a hold of someone who understood my problem it was fixed in 10 minutes.

Were you not able to call at all anywhere? Because the Only time this happens for me is when I'm in my neighborhood/house Even though I still have the 3g symbol up and 4 out of 5 bars. And this started 3 days ago now, and I have had google voice integrated since before I had the evo 4g lte.

Well it's an odd issue but mine was a progressive failure. Initially I lost receiving texts, then a few days later receiving calls, days later sending texts and shortly thereafter calling out. I never lost data and always had signal when I was trying to use it and I initially thought it was the tower I was near. I came home that summer from school (~150mi away) and instantly knew it wasn't the tower. So if it is the GV thing it may get worse for you.
I'm the only person who seems to have had this particular problem before that I'm aware of and at the time no one could tell me what was going on. So if anything this may be a "check it off the list" just to make sure it isn't your problem as well.

How long have you had the GV integration? My particular issue wasn't immediately after the attempt but ~3-5 days after it. It may be worth a shot though to see if it solves it.

Thanks, yea I'll give it a try...and I've had it probably for at least a year...I'm not a 100% sure but I feel as if I activated it for the first time when I had my Evo 4g.
Non of my SMS are being delivered today. Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT: Having the same issue with whatsapp messenger as well.
99.5% chance its sprints towers. Update prl and profile, reboot, wait it out. Your surrounding towers are probably being worked on. It's one of Network vision "side effects"

Simple PRL and profile update will fix it 99% of the time
Any other ideas? I've done many PRL updates and profile updates, hard boot and soft boot and went from tower at my work to tower at my house about 45 minutes apart, and SMS still not going through.
My phone is working fine in terms of data and phone calls etc, just no SMS. Whatsapp seems to have fixed itself as well.
I've had really annoying texting issues. Probably been my biggest issue with this phone -- I guess it could be due to network vision upgrades, but it started happening right after I purchased my EVO 4G LTE. Mine hang sometimes, then other times it'll send the same message 10 times.
The only issue I've had to where it just won't send at all, even after a restart, is with my airave. I've had it happens a few times -- my texts will hang indefinitely (arrow animation never stops) until I unplug my airave.
I had issues with sms not sending today also. But I'm sure its b/c of them working on the towers LTE.because about 3 times since last Saturday I had LTE for like 5 minutes or so then gone.but sms working again now.

Oh, okay. Color me convinced.
Funny you post this, mine are not working well this afternoon.
Just curious, are you guys using stock or custom rom?
Stock.
Anyways, I called up sprint and they were able to help me out. At first he said there was a cell site that was being worked the tech did the troubleshooting, asked me to reboot and I am able to send and receive test messages
Out of the blue I'm now unable to send text messages. :crying:
I can still receive them, just can't send them. Hopefully it's something on Sprint's end and it works itself out in a days time.
I found out I was unable to make calls as well. I restored a few previous Viper 4G nandroid backups to see if that would help, but no luck. I finally restored all the way to the stock rom w/ root and I was able to make calls again. A fresh wipe and install (not restore) of Viper 4G and I was back to not being able to make calls. Guess it's stock rom for me for awhile. Classes started today and I won't have as much time to play.
And stock pooped out too. Must've been a fluke earlier.
Things now work again. The fault is all on Sprint's end. Stupid Sprint...
I hope there's a silver lining and it means I'm getting LTE sooner than later!
Its network congestion most likely, in my experience sudden roaming or network dropping in and out in a well covered area means repair or upgrades which now that I think about it could affect text messages as well
Hey guys, Punk9 again.
I live in the UCF area (Orlando FL) and I have LTE signal here. I have around 2-3 bars of service most of the time as well.
Lately I have been getting texts late, and not even receiving phone calls. For example, my gf sent me 6 texts within about an hour, I got all six at once, each with the time stamp of the time she sent them, but I got them all at the same time. She also called twice and nothing rang on my end, but it rang for 30 seconds and went to my voice mail on her end.
Is this a known issue or? I'm running ViperROM for Sprint one max. It was happening when I was stock as well (which is why i didn't post in the ROM thread)
Any ideas?

yeah, call sprint and tell them about your signal issue..
Did yoi flash with cwm or twrp? I havr heard there are issues with signal when flashing with cwm.

they've actually been very good lately, in the Chicago land area, about responding the these kinds of issues..We have the new Spark network here, and its been really good so far, but there are some spots that need to be tweaked. When you call them and report it, they appear to spend time to send a detailed report out to their field network folks, and, so far, the 3 times that I reported areas with dead zones, when i returned, the problem appeared to be fixed.
hope it works that way for you..
I'm at work in Maspeth Queens New York and I have the Spark 4G LTE with 1 Bar most of the time which eats up my battery. Then the rest of the time, My phone has anywhere from 4 to 6 Bars on 3G.
At My House I have No 4G Anything! And sometimes, a Crappy 3G signal. I have a Sprint Airaive because of that. And the Bad thing that SUCKS, is that I'm less than 2.Miles from the Tower with a Clear Line of Sight and I Roam about half of the time if I unplug the Airaive.

This sounds like a common CSFB issue. All new triband phones, or Spark devices use a new technology called Circuit Switch Fall Back, which allows the phone to use less battery because it has one radio for everything. When the device connects to LTE, it cuts off connection the 3G network, and essentially loses the ability to send/receive texts/calls. CSFB is the answer to this, however, it is not wholly deployed. CSFB tells the phone via LTE to switch back to 3G to receive phone calls and texts, as well as to send them. Since the technology is not as widely deployed as the amount of users of the new devices, theses issues happen.
A common way to fix this is to stay on 3G only mode, which is a burden. Otherwise hope the Sprint tech is smart enough to know its a Spark phone related issue, and knows how to send a tech out to your area to fix it. Last resort is to wait it out.
Calling Sprint may or may not do anything. I have been experiencing these problems since day one in New York City at my home, and every call to Sprint was answered with a saying that it is an issue with your phone.
