Have you checked to make sure background data is enabled??

My MMS also has been acting up, but my data is in perfect condition. I'm going to try resetting my profile.

Yea, they ended up going through but 5-6 hours later. Shouldn't of been a surprise being Sprint and all, but oh well.

The problem might be due to the "mmsc url address" being incorrect. There a couple of ways checking to see if it has the correct one.
First you will need your "MSL/SPC". There are several ways of obtaining that. If you are rooted all you need to do is download "MSL Reader" View attachment 1015939. Install and run.
If you are not rooted you will have to call Sprint and ask for the MSL/SPC of your phone or download Workshop to read it. (If you are going to try using Workshop you should know what you are doing as the process for doing this will take long to explain and is quite boring). Those r your options in order to obtain your MSL/SPC.
Now that you have your phones MSL you need to go into the dialer and hit ##3282#. This will prompt and menu with 2 options "View Mode, Edit Mode". Select "Edit Mode" and the next screen will ask for your MSL. Enter it and hit OK. Now in the following menu you need to select "Advanced". Once you are in the "Advanced" menu you will see your phones MEID, ESN etc, scroll all the way down until you see "MMS Server URL". It will be blank but don't worry, the 3D never shows what is store in that field. All you have to do now is re-enter Sprint's MMSC address. Select the MMS Server and type "http://mms.sprintpcs.com", obviously without the (") quotes. Hit Ok and then hit Menu button and "Commit Modifications". The phone will prompt with a message saying "No Changes Have Been Made", just ignore that and hit Back button until you reached Home Screen. Now reboot the phone and wait a few minutes before you try sending MMS pics. Make sure you delete any pictures that got an error sending on your previous attempts.
Note: if this doesn't fix your mms problem then its your APN settings that are incorrect. For those cases I will right a different instructions if needed.
Hope this helps. Cheers to all

My MSL code is not working. I both called sprint and used getspc.exe and they both gave me the MSL of 057191 and when I go to my phone dialpad and enter ##057191# nothing happens. I read on another forum that you can't do it from a skinned dialpad. I'm using Nexvision's Hybrid 3.35.04 and i think it has a touch skinned dialpad (dark gray/black, big buttons).
I've been using this ROM for months now and I love it. Everything is working great, no problems, just this.
Is there something else i could be doing wrong? I need this ASAP so i can "reset" my phone on the network to allow me to use the *611 dropped call thing some more.
I have honestly tried searching the archives and didn't find this.

Probably a dialer problem. I'd try installing various other dialers to remedy your problem.
I don't understand are you already in PST? Or are you trying to get there? If your trying to get there it is ##778# or ##778 send. You may need to erase your calls, you then enter in your MSL(just the six digits and no # symbol). You should not be using a dial pad to enter in your MSL while in PST it should be they keyboard.

This is true.
The MSL is your unlock code to EDIT values inside EPST. To enter EPST on Sprint, dial ##778# and send. When EPST opens, if you choose Edit, THEN you enter your MSL. MSL is not required to simply View EPST.
Thanks, but none of the methods are working
Thanks for the quick replies. I was just following the instructions of the Tier 1 tech guy on with me didn't seem to know what he was talking about, and apparently didn't. He was trying to get me to enter ##[MSL]# without hitting send, from the dialpad. He got all bent and had no clue what to do when it wasn't working.
I tried ##778 > send and also ##778# then send and neither one gets me into EPST. It just places a call and the female recording says "the number or code you dialed is incorrect...message 637." I also tried it without hitting send, nothing happens.
Another poster suggested i install nother dialer. How do i get back to the original dialer? Also, will i have problems getting my touch dialer back with smartdial working? I've always been hesitant to go changing dialers since I've heard about and had problems with getting smartdial to work once the switching shenanigans begin. TIA
##778# is the ## code for Sprint.
If it's not working for you, one of the following must be the cause:
1. You have installed a dialer not meant for CDMA phones and it has broken your functions.
2. You have not installed the Sprint carrier cab.
I'm also assuming you're using the latest 3.1.2 rom. If not, please post what rom you are using and also what dialer you are using.
Have you tried to directly run ..\Windows\EPST.exe ??
In the Windows directly try executing that or its shortcut. If it quickly loads and exits, then try a few more times before resetting your phone and trying again.
Solved! but still trying to "reset phone on network"
well, don't i feel like an "azclown." I was searching for the OEM dialer and came across this thread, in which i found the same issue being discussed and azclown had uploaded a touch dialer that fixes the problem! i love it when people not only answer a question, but also put the file right there in your face.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2255605&highlight=oem+dialer#post2255605
that dialer is basically the same as the one Nexvision had in the ROM i am using, but it has a blue accent (and ## codes work!).
However, now on to what my real problem was that i was trying to, as the Tier 1 rep put it "Reset my phone on the network" by either retyping my existing MSID or entering all zeros and then rebooting. He said that would allow me to get more dropped call credits. i'm referring to the *611, then just saying "dropped call" to get 2 minutes of credit, which i need to repeat a bunch of times, since with so many dropped calls where i used to live, i ended up going over my minutes.
I tried doing what the guy said, using all zeros for the MSID made it so that *611 didn't work and it tried to get me to activate my phone from square one. So i put the original MSID back and it still says I've gotten the limit for the dropped call credits. Anyone know what the guy means by "reset my phone on the network" and how i can do that? (sorry for the long posts) TIA
That ROM comes with a crappy dialer which has memory leaks on CDMA phones and does not support the codes or 911. Re-cook it with the stock dialer and install dcd's touch dialer CAB. Or you can cook it with the dialer's OEM folder from the latest dcd ROM.
So wait you were able to get in to your PST? As I said before you may need to erase your call history then dial ##778 then hit send.
yes, I got into the PST just fine after putting the other dialer on (i had also deleted my call history). i used the ##778# method. However, I wasn't able to "reset my phone on the network" (per sprint tech rep's instructions) so that I could get more dropped call credits. That was the real reason I was trying to do all of this. My minutes restarted today, so I'm just going to have to pay for an overage. Oh well.

Sorry...when the activation starts dialing just hit the home button. If that doesnt work try the menu button
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
The above works but will revert back to the activation screen if you power cycle. So in addition you may also want to press Emergency Call then dial ##PROGRAM + Send enter 000000 and change with MDN and MIN to 999-999-9999 this way the phone thinks it's activated.
Enjoy,

I successfully bypassed activation by allowing the activation call to initiate and then I hit "2" for the "roaming" option. That will automatically fail and once the call ends. You will be able to press next for the subsequent step in the phone setup process.
I put the TeamHackSung ICS 6.5 rom on my Fascinate, and have found that if I dial *228, once the call connects I'm left without a dial pad...and thus can't access the activation process.
Anyone else notice this, or is it just me?
tap the home key, phone icon, return to call in progress, then the dial pad icon. its a known glitch on ics roms.
Didn't work. After pressing home and then the phone icon, I tried both "Return to call in progress" and "Use touch tone keypad", but both just returned me to the call without a dial pad nor button to bring it up.
actually dont hit return to call in progress, just select use touchtone keypad...you might have to do it twice.

No, still not getting it. After hitting home and then the phone button, my screen shows three choices: Use touch tone keypad, Return to call in progress, and Add call. The first two just return me to the keypad-less call in progress. "Add call" does in fact give me a keypad, but the tones it generates are not heard by the call in progress. I tried hitting "1" and then the call button from this point, but it just went back to my home screen. I then had to hit the phone button, either of the first two options to get back to the activation call, and then the "Back" button to hang up.
If I don't hang up in time, my phone gets completely deactivated...no phone or 3G capability, meaning that I can't even dial #228, never mind pressing "1" after dialing it, but fortunately rebooting the phone restored the activation.
I've never been able to use *228 on any MTD rom. It does all the same stuff you mentioned. So long as your connection is working, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks, I feel reassured. Hopefully *228 activation won't ever be needed again.
Yeah but Option 2 from *228 is a good thing. You have two options, but I'm only going to bring up one since it's the easiest.
*22890 ---> This will program/activate your phone.
*22891 ---> This will update your roaming capabilities.
No need to hit other buttons after dialing. Let it finish, and reboot your phone.
Excellent!

You can always do *228,,,,,2 The commas are pauses. The screen will say that the updated roaming was not successful, but the message says it is. You can also replace the 2 with a 1 to do activation (however it's not needed if you have data as others have suggested).

I used this way by setting the (*228,,,,1,,,555-555-5555#,,,,5555#) all of the numbers I needed to push, I made into a contact. Then I just pushed the contact.

Did you see my post on the first page, it seems easier.
I did see your post, but that option doesn't work for my phone for whatever reason.
My phone doesn't receive calls when I've used data on my phone, like launching gmail. I have to make an outgoing call or reboot to get calls to come thu. Once I use data again, calls won't come thru. Even a factory reset hasn't resolved the issue. Any idea?
It seems my phone doesn't switch back to voice once I've used data unless I make an outgoing call or reboot.
Sprint has been no help on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
it always helps to offer more info like rooted or unrooted, what derivative (stock, custom stock, custom aosp) s-off (hboot 1.12 only) or unlocked
sorry. just running stock, not rooted

Sometimes updating your profile can leave things screwed up, did you update your profile before the issues started? I had a similar problem once after updating my profile, called cs and immediately asked them to escalate the issue but the lady on the other end would not, she pushed 4 profiles before giving up and escalating my call. If you can always escalate the call, 1st tier reps are peons

Dial ##CLEAR# on your phone. This will take you to the EPST menu. Select the menu from the upper-right hand side of the screen, and then select
"reset", and then press "yes". This will reset your network by deactivating and then reactivating your device. It may take up to 10 minutes
but it should fix your problem.
