I have had this problem before but not to this extent. A lot of my text messages aren't being received on the other end. I'm on Warm Rom and I have tried reflashing the rom, kernel, updating prl and profile. When I called Sprint about this issue before they just had me flash to stock and then gave me the runaround until the issue seemed to just resolve itself.
Has anyone else had this issue? Anything else I can try? Is there a way to install a different PRL? I can't flash the new radio because I'm on hboot 1.5. Or should I flash back to stock and take the update for now?
ummm... why don't you try flashing a different ROM bud. but even still there are no details in your post. warm ROM? cool story. so is that sense 3.0 or 3.5? what kernel?
flash a different ROM. if that fixes the issue, well good for you. if it doesn't, then take your phone into sprint because it has defective pArts.
also, can you make phone calls and browse the internet?

Yep, just went through this from 1/14-1/18. Not your ROM, not your phone, it's a Sprint issue. Only things you need to do on your end is wipe the cache in your messaging app, and double check via Google Voice (if you have it synced w/ your Sprint #) to see which messages are (or aren't) going through. The network will eventually purge whatever is backlogged hours or days later to the respective recipients, probably in the early morning hours, and you'll be accused of duplicate texts. Yay Sprint.
Yeah other people started telling me of issues with texting as well. I went back to stock and flashed all the updates. I guess I'll go back and unlock it and reinstall my custom Rom. Thanks for the replies guys.
I have problems like this and SMS radio errors on Sense ROMs all the time, especially at night. I never have a problem on MIUI though so maybe you should give that a try

I have thought about MIUI and other AOSP roms several times, but every once in a while I do want to watch something in 3d. If they could get 3d fixed, I would probably give it an honest go.
Doubt that will ever happen :/
Yeah I kind of figured that.

Can someone lead me to the files I need to flash my Fascinate back to 2.1 from the Froyo update. I'm not sure what files or Odin i need to do this. I'm having an issue with my 3G disappearing and dropping since going to the OTA froyo and never had problems with it on 2.1 so i'm trying to go back to stock 2.1, maybe even try to goto Froyo again [maybe something got corrupted or something]. Before i got about getting a new one, i'd like to see if I can flash back to 2.1 and get it working again.
There's a stock package that you can use to Odin back to DL09 (eclair) here. That same thread gives an easy way to get back to froyo if you want to try again.
Alternatively, if you're just having connectivity issues, you could simply try another radio. Some people have a better time with DL09 modem, at least compared to EB01 and EC01 (not sure whether anyone finds it better than the current one), and you can Odin just the modem here. You might want to try this first and see if it does the trick. DL09 modem works fine with leaked froyo releases, so it should be okay with the official one.

Do you think changing the radio version or whatever will fix my problem here. I mean in my search to find out if anyone else has been having their 3G randomly disappear i havent see to much report. I just dont get how it was working fine with 2.1, once i installed froyo it started this problem, now im flashed back on 2.1 and it seems still "broken." Even the Verizon techs had no idea what was going on with it when i took it in. I mean can software screw up the hardware?
I was told by a Verizon rep that they knew that this OTA update would cause this problem in a certain percentage of devices and they just sent me a new one. The second in 2 weeks. When I went in and complained they just went straight to the computer and ordered me a new 1 both times, no ?'s asked really. Just hope you're still under warranty.

For those of you who haven't gotten a new phone yet or found this, here is the fix for this headache of a problem
http://mobiletech.knguyentu.com/2011/04/samsung-fascinate-random-3g-disconnect.html
I don't want to turn this into a blaming thing, but just looking to rule out some possibilities.
I have the stock rom with chad's kernel and leedroid tweaks (flashable zip). I'm on the 2.17 version too, but baseband that was previous to it because I had texting issues with the newest baseband.
The problem is, without warning and without doing anything (no new apps, no new mods, etc) I will stop receiving text messages. I have to dial a phone number and when the call connects, I get my texts. I have to have tech support push something to the phone to fix it, but it lasts maybe a week or 2 before it craps out again...
I didn't have this happen until I did go back to a stock rom and put leedroid tweaks on (rather than I think Eternity Rom at the time?). I thought it was Sprint being sprint for a while... I tried going back to full stock (as in data wipe too), but that didn't resolve it. Now, my texts were already broken when I tried that, so that might not have said much. But since I didn't have texts working on full stock, I didn't connect it to leedroid.
Now, my brother, about a month later, did the same thing. He flashed a rom (but can't remember which) then leedroid tweaks because they weren't a part of it. He has the Evo 3D too. After flashing leedroid, he mentioned having issues receiving texts... I just don't know if this is coincidence or if there's something to this.
I don't really see what flashing that mod could do to break my texting, but my knowledge of this sort of thing is pretty limited. Is this even possible? Is someone else having or had similar problems like this?
EDIT: After talking with tech support, and since this has been an on-going issue, they are rebuilding my text messaging service from scratch, or something along those lines. Said it would take a while, so I don't know if it worked yet. But if this means anything to someone, I'm curious.

Thanks for the call to receive tip man! I frequently will stop getting texts randomly and it sucksssss. I carry around my Ipod with me and just send a text to my phone if I think I'm not getting texts. It is quite annoying sumtimes...
also im running mean rom v3.0 with leedroid tweaks and chads latest kernel
Swyped from mah 3vo!
I have been running leedroid tweaks on meanrom for a few weeks now with no issues. Do you use the stock messaging app, or something downloaded from the market?
I currently using Leedroid Tweaks and AnthraX kernel.
Im not having any issues so my guess is sprint fault since it happened even after you went back to Stock.
Thanks guys. I'm not sure what exactly fixed it... It could have been the rebuild thing they said they were doing or it was me flashing a custom rom. I have since flashed back to the setup I had before but everything still working. Oh well, was just really frustrating.

Yes, I just noticed this yesterday. I have used emoji before in the .10 ruu
So i did some testing from vzw to vzw from a user that has an iphone and she can send them all without any thing failing, however someone who has sprint iphone sends things ans some do not work ( most ). Another person who has boost ( also sprint ) sends corrupted emojis as well, not all, but most are bad.
I think this could be a carrier thing to be honest since this is the first time i seen this yesterday. Now who is to blame is unknown.
I have been using the .10 leek since it has come out and its been working fine til now

Thanks for the comeback. Occasionally I get one and it seems that it works after real text. Switched to Newts Sense 4.0 Rom and have a little better success. Also using Handcent. The ROM BTW is terrific. Fast and no errors up till now.

I still think this is a carrier thing IMO just b/c it works vzw to vzw.

I had CodeFire on my DNA for about a month. All was running well. I just installed whatever was current around 2/23 and never installed a nightly update. Last week, I started having problems texting. I thought the ROM was going belly up on me. So I flashed SlimKat. I still cannot text without cycling Airplane Mode in between each. Alternatively, I can wait about an hour to sent a subsequent test message after a successful one.
I just re-flashed the latest radio hoping that would fix it. I'm at a loss. Do I need to call VZW and have them do something on their end?

The kit kat roms are ported. There are several issues with them that cannot be "fixed" until the source code is released. If the phone does not respond to any commands including trying to boot.... leave it on a factory charger for 24 hours. Then try to work with it

What do you mean by "phone is dead"? Completely non responsive or no signal. I've been on cfx since I ported it over with no issues besides the random signal drop here and there. But that's maybe a few times per week and happens to me on all ROMs. What do you wipe when flashing a new ROM? Have you tried a RUU?

Dead as in Roaming again. My apologies for the exaggeration. I'm a bit frustrated here. I cannot seem to win with this thing. I hated my Thunderbolt at the end, but at least it worked. RUU brings back mobile data and texting. I've tried CM 10.2 several times. Each time, it gets stuck in roaming. I cannot change the NV setting. Changing it, then checking it again and it's right back. I've tried flashing with the SIM in. With it out. I've cycled Airplane mode a few times. Rebooted. Installed GApps. Rebooted. Cycled Airplane mode. I'm missing something. Apparently.
I just want a phone without Sense or the Verizon crap. CFX was awesome until this texting issue.

Have you considered hardware issues? If it was a ROM issue it wouldn't be a one person issue. Or provide a log of what's happening when you send SMS. You're just not giving us much to go by, except what's not working. Are you doing full wipes between flashing roms, or just cache or factory resets?

Full Wipes between flashes.
I've had this phone for about two months. I initially had issues flashing CM and being stuck in roaming. No CM ROM I attempt to flash will work. They always end up stuck in roaming. I think the problem is that I can't switch from NV. When I change it, it always goes right back. Not sure what's up there.
I just flashed ★ ☆ [ROM/RADIO][4.2.2] Stock 3.06.605.4 | Rooted | Odex-Deodex | Sense5 And now SMS works, but I'm stuck in 3G.
I hadn't considered hardware only because with each ROM, the previously broken feature works, but then something new pops up.
With one, I can text, but am in 3G. With another, I've got 4G but can't text without cycling Airplane mode.
I sincerely apologies for coming off as a d!ck. I've nothing to contribute to the community but my bug reports and money. It's frustrating to see how quickly some phones are abandoned, though.
I've always been thankful for everyone's help and tried to offer bug reports and donations where applicable.
I just want my phone to work, with a plain vanilla OS and tethering. I don't need Sense. I don't need fancy mods. Just a phone that works.
Please accept my apology, and thanks again for the help.

Have you considered the fact that the recovery itself is causing your issues? I would give TWRP a try to see if there are differences. TWRP is a must to flash KitKat roms and the version used is critical.

Nope. I didn't consider that. Because most of my problems were with CM 10.2.1. Which is JB, correct?
That being said, I've tried both CW and TWRP to no avail. After being stuck in 3G for two days across multiple ROMs, I'm convinced the hardware went belly-up.

Santod has a process to recover the unit from the conditions you describe. It is fairly simple and doesn't appear to require much time.

Since my last update, I've received a new DNA, and a new SIM card.
Check out the last few posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51465109
This is bizarre. Either I'm doing something wrong, or... I don't know. SMS works on a stock ROM but not on a custom ROM, with a new phone, with a new SIM.
I think you are doing something wrong.
RUU the latest firmware, factory reset, wipe data, cache, and system, install a ROM and DO NOT restore anything.
I think youre not completely wiping and/or are restoring things.
Hey XDA,
I woke up today and noticed that all my calls (in/outgoing) are so shotty (choppy, studdering, that's the best way I can describe it) that it makes calls just impossible... Oh, and my signal is normal (between -89 dBm and -92 dBm... my normal signal at home)
Now, I have researched online to see if Sprint outages were going on in my area; they are not. Nothing has changed in my phone (software or hardware-wise) - I have not messed with anything at all. I literally woke up to this.
Also, I have not dropped, bumped, banged into anything, sprayed with a garden hose, or anything that would make me think "Ok, this could've been my fault..."
It _feels_ like it is my radio... but what could cause all these sudden issues with my calls? My radio was updated last year to the latest at the time (1.12.11.1210) and I have had FLAWLESS service. Never any issues, seriously.
Oh, I should note: If I call my voicemail over and over, about 1 out of 10 calls I will be able to hear the automated voice clearly; then if I hang up and immediately call it again, it becomes unintelligible.
So, wtf... Has anyone ever experienced this and knows how to remedy it? It isn't turning LTE off, tried that and does not change anything. Please help me, I need some ideas to look into... - zmag
It's possible Sprint is doing work in your area. Having said that, you're a couple of firmware versions behind. You didn't mention if you tried to update your profile and PRL. If all else fails, try ##72786# from the dialer and choose reset from the menu. If you continue to have issues after following the steps above, call Sprint and see what they can do for you.

I am using my original shipped stock rom (rooted) 1.13.651.1 with the Beastmode kernel.
When I press on any of the 4 selections in the update menu, nothing opens (no app runs)
I was running MeanBean until I messed with the build.prop permissions and it caused a bootloop - I was unable to remedy it via TWRP, so I (unfortunately) had to restore a backup (I didn't have one of MeanBean)
Does anyone remember if I can update my profile and PRL via MeanBean? I can't remember if it works on that rom, or if I need to run a stock rom.
Also, should I try updating to the latest radio (PIMG175 or w/e it's called) via HBoot? (I have HBoot 1.12.0000 Lazy Panda) If so, can someone kindly post a link to the latest .zip (CaptainThrowback is whose .zip I used for my last radio update)
And what exactly will happen if I do the ##72786# reset? (Is this a radio reset, or a full blown reset similar to factory data?)
Thanks in advance - zmag

Just curious, have you checked out the newer stock ROMs? That's the OG stock version if I'm not mistaken...with the latest tools you can even S-off and root HTC's 4.3 releases.
Yes, you can update your profile and PRL with Mean Bean. As far as updating your firmware, click the top link in my sig. There is a section on firmware updates and also a link to Captain Throwback's firmware thread.

Thank you kindly FinZ28 & shadowguy1
I now believe it was something on Sprint's end, because after some more testing, I noticed as soon as I drove away from my house I would get normal, clear service - but when I got towards my house it would go back to crap again...
Now I get normal service again (knock on wood) at home. Still don't know why my mom's Galaxy S2 worked fine the whole time, but w/e - I just hope this isn't a common occurance.
I plan on switching to Ting in July when my Sprint contract runs out. (Sprint towers used, but a pay as you go plan) Only thing is they charge full price for phones via Ting, but you can switch most Sprint phones to Ting. I'm paying way too much for unlimited talk text and data, I don't need it. Ting seems more reasonable. For 3 lines (mine and my parents) we did the math it should be about 50 bucks a month, so ya...
I will check out the newer stock roms, or go back to MeanBean. Thank you guys for your help, if this happens again or keeps occuring I'll at least know what to do! - zmag
