Its anybody else receiving text messages late? Mine come in on time sometimes but when it doesn't it ranges from 7 to 40 minutes late. I know its sprint since I don't have this problem on the VZW prl. I called and they said they put out a ticket or something like that. Is this happening to anybody else?
Yeah, this happens to me occasionally, although I haven't been able to tell if It's my phone's fault or not, but I'm assuming it is, esp since you're having this issue too

Welcome to the ****ty Sprint network
The fix? Get a Verizon or ATT phone
I'm really considering it but I'm just not sure about the monthly raping I'll receive
At least youll actually be able to use the data you pay for on Verizon
I would do the same but thankfully I am in an area with Wifi most of the time so it doesnt matter that the data speed is only 40kb/s and no 4G service.
I wish my speeds were that fast smh
Google voice integration did this to me. Disabled integration and went back to normal.
Also been having problems with missing/late texts ever since i linked it to google voice.
no, but sometimes mine will come with the timestamp way later than it actually is, which is also annoying.
So sprint called me asking if I noticed any improvements, I told them to call me tomorrow so I can test it out....its the same no improvements
Yea just stay with the Verizon prl I have not left it for months

That would be an even bigger pain as you have to reboot the phone every time the prl is changed.

Gotcha, is that specific to viper? Not versed that well in changing prl's, but do so every once in a while when I visit my brother who is in a virtual Sprint dead zone.

Been happening to me for the past three . it's irritating.
Been on the 0001 prl for the past couple of days, not a single late message
I was gonna post a thread about this too but I'll spare the clutter. This started happening to me since I flashed the latest ota with leeroid tweaks 3 days ago. I flashed the radio too. I was suspecting it was the update or radio or something... There was 1 text I got yesterday 3 hours late.

Before S-off my 3vo would automatically switch over to a Verizon tower while roaming, now after S-off Verizon towers can no longer validate my 3vo and wont roam on that system? Is there a fix for this or is it going to stay like this?

Call Sprint and tell them your voice roaming isnt working. I had to do it yesterday. Hopefully you dont get an idiot like I did the first time.
Ok thanks I will give that a try.

i have so far gotten 3 idiots
sorry but do you mind telling what for roaming is needed?
you can internet/ 3g without roaming right?
what is it for?
He's saying his roaming is borked, I assume he ran an update of his prl, when he makes a call he probably gets a message from Verizon saying his phone is not registered. Sprint will probably want to do a re activation.
You roam on Verizon when a sprint signal is not available, which is quite common for me.
Also check your settings in the wireless and networks section and see if your set to automatic and not home only, and roaming guards are turned off. S-off does do something to the phone authentication so its up to sprint to fix it on their end.
doesnt roaming cost money?
meh i have everywhere connection to my provider,
99% coverage.
I just rooted a few days ago and can't call on verizon either, calling sprint tonight.
use sprint chat,makes things alot easier and faster
tried chatting 3 times, getting error 1012, and so far no one can tell me to do anything except pull the battery or update the profile
try just making a call while ytou are not roaming, you will most likely get and error 16, and if you hold long enough you wil;l be routed directly to sprint to the security dept. who will fix your problem
I just got off with Sprint chat and said:
I am getting an error 16 and need an HRL refresh

There's an app for that, roam control, but its kind of shady, it dosent work when you need it most. Obviously you don't have a working signal and no data, it has to check for a license every time before you can use it. So if you don't have data and need to roam, your sol until the phone itself decides to roam.
Trying to get fixed... Said I had to be off phone, what did they refresh?
Roam Control doesn't seem to work, at least for me.

It shouldn't check the license every time you run the app...it doesn't for most people. I'm trying to figure out why it does this for a small number of phones, hope to have some type of correction soon. Thanks! -MrGreg

I sent you a PM, don't want to hijack the thread
I've been intermittently getting this error. Something about data not being able to connect.
Has anybody else gotten this error and does anyone know how to fix it? I'm completely stock, no root.
Same here! I can't figure out why it's doing this as well.
Yeah I've gotten it too. Flashing different radios didn't seem to help- mine is S-off and rooted. My sister works for Sprint she isn't the phone nerd like me but lol nothing I seem to do can fix it. Will update on how she fixes it if she does lol.
You can still make phone calls and everything else, just no data.
Try making a call, if it doesn't go through you will be connected to someone in tech support who will refresh you connection to the network. They implemented a security feature that will give ya that when you aren't being allowed onto the network.

Yep. Exactly what this guy said. Tell the guy the error you got and he'll fix it up right away.
I started getting this same error this morning, right after I flashed Synergy nightly 330. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but that's when it started. It's now doing it on every rom. I can connect to 4g just fine. It's only 3g that gives me that error. I've updated PRL and Profile but that didn't fix it. Not sure what I'll try next.
EDIT: Well, right after I submitted this message a second ago, I looked at my phone and 3G was connected and the error stopped. It lasted for a few hours then resolved itself. Strange.
Are you able to post the steps?
I am getting the same error and can't even call *2
Thanks
Apparently there is a national outage, that's why we are getting the 128 code.
I've been getting it all day too. I can make calls though, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I just keep getting the error message pop up.
I was getting it, too. I went on chat with Sprint and they reset me again. Had to take my battery out for 2 minutes and then reboot my phone twice. It's all fixed now.
I think there were network issues on the 20th as it happened to me as well. However, I just left it alone suspecting the network, and about 20 min later, it fixed itself.
This isn't 3d related guys, my evo 4G is doing it as well. It started after that small earthquake over here. Not sure if that's why but I was fine before 2pm today.

That was because too many people were trying to call, but I don't see how calling people could affect the data.
my phone just started doing this recently while on 4G. i can make calls, send texts, browse internet, etc. only thing i can't do on 4G is play Scrabble. it tells me no network detected. today i was using Google Nav in Orange County by Anaheim, CA on the 5fwy and i saw the error pop up a few times. i just tapped on the dismiss button and continued on my way. just curious on the error as its starting to annoy me. i called sprint a couple days ago and they were clueless as to why it popped up. they checked the towers by my house and said they were fine and operational. but yet i know there is something wrong here. especially when i can't play Scrabble on 4G...LOL . i've also reset my data profile using my MSL# and updated data profile and PRL... anywho has anyone had this issue recently and has had this corrected??? BTW: I'm rooted running stock RUU 2.3.4 on latest radio and prl...

Not being able to play Scrabble while on 4G has been an issue with the Scrabble app for sometime. I reported it twice to the company but never got a response. This is totally unrealted to the errors others are reporting in this thread. Scrabble just needs to fix their app.
Did anyone get Sprint to fix their phone. I called them but they were not able to fix it over the phone.
Ok wtf!? last night im was chilling playin some black ops and all the sudden my 4g icon was gone when i had check my phone after a text. its been a day now and i still have absolutely no data connection. i called verizon and they said theres no outage in my area (metro detroit). ive tried flashing plenty of radios since and still no data. im starting to get a wee bit butt hurt because i needs my data son! could i have possibly killed the antenna some how? anyone else ever experience this?

I've had periods where my Tbolt didn't want to connect to LTE or EVDO for a long time. It generally fixed itself after enough time. Usually way less than a day though. I'm close enough I could probably take a look at it. See if it's your phone or if mine does the same thing.

thanks for the quick response from the boths of yous.
I'm in St. Louis, lost 4g this afternoon. Only 1x now. Could be Verizon, and nothing at all on your end. This is the first time I haven't had 4g since I got my bolt in May.
If its not Verizon, you could pull your sim for about 10 min, then pop it back in and power up the phone.

I'm down in Toledo at the moment. Things are working fine here. Only problem was the outage last night for a couple hours. Changed ROMs and radios since then, too, with no issue.

im mean NO DATA! nothing at all. no 1x,3g or 4g
weather widget is from when i restored the rom, it wont update
edit. did a sim pull for 10 mins and vuala 1x pops up then changes to 3g. about 10 seconds later BOOM! nothing... im gonna try a sim pull for like an hour and see what happens with that. shouldnt be any difference but its worth a shot.
This could be many things, most likely you'll need a new SIM, youll need to unroot and restore stock, go into VZW, they'll give you a new one.
delivered via Zeus' finger
I'm in the same boat! Randomly lost all data a day or 2 ago. Tried everything soo far. Assumed my sim card is dead But people say it's a network problem. I get 3g in Rev.A mode. But nothing in normal mode. I'm pissed. Willing to try a new sim card but not unrooting my phone just for a sim. What would happen if you brought a rooted phone into Verizon. I just want a sim. Would they deny you service? Or put a note on your account stating your phone has been rooted and to void your warranties?
Last time I went to the store I knew more about the phone than all three reps combined. I doubt they would even know its rooted.
Put my phone in LTE mode and got 4g back finally.

If you were returning it, yeah, then I'd go back to stock. But, for a sim swap, you can power it off, and pull the sim for them, they won't even notice it when it boots. Unless of course your boot sound is F*** Verizon or something

im convinced its my phone. went into verizon today and the reps tbolt was working fine both 3g and 4g. we did a sim swap and still nothing although, i did get like 2 mins of 4g love about 3 hours after the sim swap but then right back to nothing after it downloaded some pics from texts.
does this have anything to do with it?
i need some help here
spent an hour on the phone with Verizon and they said the netowrk in my area was fine. After all was done and said they are shipping me a new sim. Today when I woke up my phone had a data connection. I haven't shut it off or anything since the tech call.

Hey Guys,
I've been using the Verizon PRL 00001 for the last few months. I have no service in my house without it...none! For some reason on my last bill, I had 650 mins (200 over my 450) charged to my account when I never even hit 100 on average. No mobile-to-mobile mins were registered and most calls made after 7pm counted toward my anytime mins instead of my free nights and weekends! I looked at my call log and calls I know that were made to mobile phones (most to other Sprint customers) showed up as "Unavailable". I called to complain and I was told by Sprint that those calls were made off the network therefore they were charged to your anytime mins. I was advised to use the option "Sprint Towers Only" which means my phone is pretty much useless. A few days later, I received the famous roaming warning letter from Sprint. I cannot receive texts on the 21083 PRL even if I'm in a clear Sprint area. My phone only works in the 00001 PRL. What do I do? I've flashed several different Sense ROM's and I get the same result. I even updated my radio and build and still get the same result. I've tried other PRL's but the only one that will allow me to receive texts is the 00001. If this continues, Sprint will terminate my account but if I leave it on the 21083 PRL, I can't get texts and calls constantly drop! HELP! Thanks, guys!

Nothing you can do except switch to another carrier. If you don't have signal in your house, there is nothing you can do from the phone to get a signal, sprint just needs to add a tower closer to your house, which they will never do for just one customer. So stop screwing sprint by running the Verizon PRL 24/7 and just bite the bullet and switch.
A couple of thoughts. You could/should let them terminate you so you can get a carrier that works where you live. Did you move since you got your phone? Try and install a stock ROM with the latest OTA, and then make sure you have the current PRL and radio's. If that does not work, switch to Verizon and get the Galaxy Nexus.
Not to be preachy, but being on the 00001 prl violates your contract with Sprint as you will reach the roaming limits very fast. They are on to you at this point...

I have a new tower less than a mile from my house but I guess geologically it doesn't help. I can't even receive texts in a clear Sprint area in the 21083 PRL...its got to be a phone issue. I'm not screwing anybody! I'd switch if it wouldn't cost me $350 early termination and if Verizon had an unlimited plan. I just want my phone to function as it should on a proper PRL...

Well you didn't mention that before, which makes a big difference. Knowing this, it likely IS a problem with your phone, and sprint should replace it if you are still under warranty. Unroot, take into a corporate sprint store, and have it checked out.

I am having trouble with distorted or garbled phone calls. I have wiped and reflashed the latest Mean rom. I've also flashed the latest radio and PRI, as well as updating profile and PRL. I cannot get this problem to go away. Some times it is clear, but mostly it is garbled.
Anyone got any ideas? I thought about an APN problem, but I haven't messed with APN'S since my old g1 days and I am not even sure the evo lte uses them (or even where to find them) .

The last radios and pri update was buggy. That's why you have distorted phone calls, it has nothing to do with Rom. Hopefully , sprint will fix it soon.

Hmm...its very garbled. Basically unusable. Although I haven't heard about bugs in the update, it doesn't seem right. If everyone had distortion like I am experiencing there would be a revolt.
Thing is, at times it is clear. I flashed an old nandroid and it was gone. Then went back to mean rom and it was back. Wiped and reinstalled mean rom and it went away for a bit, but now is back.
Even stranger, calls to my Google voicemail are perfectly clear. Turn around and call some one and it is garbled.
May call sprint and see if it is a configuration issue. Pissing me off.
And it's clear again. WTF??!!
Wonder if these darn tower upgrades are responsible.
The last poster read my mind, as I experienced that here in LA. As soon as Sprint started upgrading the towers in our area, the voice garbling began, and after much complaining to customer service, Sprint sent me a free AIRAVE.

I'm having the same problem plus sometimes when I make calls even to landlines they say I sound garbled. I hang up call back now they are garbled. It all happened after radio and firmware update. Why does it work for some and not others?

Well, I could never get it to go away. I.reverted to stock and s -on to prepare a return. It is crystal clear now.....hmmm.....I may try to re-root and see if the distortion comes back.

Ok I think I have fixed it. You must dial ##72786#. It will ask for a password you can get it by getting msl reader from the play store. Reset and your good to go! No more garbled voice. It basically resets Prl.

I can tell you this has nothing to do with rooting, roms or the like. I have a completely stock EVO Lte that has never been rooted or even plugged into a computer! My phone is completely stock and I am having the same problem with my phone. If I make a call and the call quality sounds good to me, it will sound bad to the other person. If I make a call and it sounds distorted (garbled), it sounds fine to the other caller.
I am getting completely fed up with this phone. I called sprint SEVERAL times to get a replacement because of the wifi/gps problems, and I insisted that I did not want a refurb phone. The rep said it would be a new phone (after many HOURS of phone time with Sprint CS) What they sent me was a refurb, and a POS at that! Scratches, loose back cover, the red around the camera flaking off! I am not going to accept it and will be returning it tomorrow at the Sprint store! I am going to call them while at the store so they can "hear" my newest complaint!
I tried to swap this phone within the first 14 days, and the Sprint people insisted that it was just them working on the towers, so I waited. Then after that 14 days window was passed, all the CS reps said was "if you would have returned it within the first 14 days..." Makes me sooooooo freakin mad!!!
If your reading this, and have the same issues, it is your phone. PERIOD. Call Sprint or go to a retail store and complain, complain, complain!!!
It's the Network
My wife and I have both been having this issue a lot recently. Me on my E4LTE, and her on the Galaxy SII. I really think it's the network, not the 4G. We started having the issue right after Sprint started their HD Voice upgrades. Sometimes calls are perfectly clear, sometimes their slightly garbled, and sometimes they're completely broken up. I'be been through the ringer with Sprint's Tech support with no luck at all. I think I'm going to switch to Verizon once our contract is up (which is a shame because I was very happy with sprint and the EVO up until this problem).
