Here's my problem. I can receive texts but I can't send them. I've tried the stock messaging app and downloaded ones from the market. I have gotten like 6 or so different texts from my gf yesterday and today. I have gotten each one at least 20 times. It will not send a text out at all. I'm hoping it's something simple. Doesn't seem to matter what rom I flash either.
I got a new airave device from sprint the other day and it works great for calling so far. Boosts my signal from 0-1 bar I used to get to full signal. I'm going out later so i'll know for sure when I get off the airave signal if I can send texts. Sprint has tried resetting it on their end but no change yet.
I was looking in my phone and I didn't see anywhere in the settings about updating the prl. Guess that isn't a option when you flash a rom? How can we update the prl then?
I'm currently running superkang senseless ics.

I can guarantee you it's the Airave. Those things have so many problems. I had one, and used it for 3 days before i put it back in the box.
Customer service is trying to fix it now. My signal is great. Just getting no data from it right now. W/out it I get very poor signal at my house.

Hopefully you've gotten it straightened out by now but I had the same issue and unplugging my AirRave for a minute or so and plugging it back in did the trick.

Thought I did. But still not yet. I thought it was my rom cause I left the house I still had no data. I flashed a different rom and I got my texting and internet back. I got home and still can't send texts. Very frustrating. Time to call sprint again

So I finally got it. They had to do a bunch of things on their end. Finally got someone that knew what they were doing.

Well long story short, 12 hrs after I bought the phone on release day (next morning) the phone would not receive internet connections from the carrier or pick up a gps signal. After being at the VZW store for em to diagnose for an hour they couldn't find a fix, but I couldn't return it then cuz I didn't have my receipt and box with me.
The next morning it was magically fixed, much to my surprise, and I didn't know what the problem was in the first place. Idk if it went on a new firmware or something overnight since I left it on WiFi, but I'm just afraid of it happening again after my return period is over. Anyone heard of this? Should I go get it exchanged? I would-be going tmrw so I would like some help deciding.

Several of us have reported intermittent total loss of signal on 4G that leads to total loss of data, so I suspect network issues VZW didn't catch before the major roll-out (I hope anyways, rather than bad phone designs).
Your loss of GPS issue shouldn't be network related, but did you try one of the GPS Status apps to check satellite locks and all that, or were you just on VZW as your location provider in the setup?
No actually there's no 4g in my area, NE PA so that's not the issue. It happened as soon as I drove to school which is 30 mins from my town. It never worked after that till the day after when I see it working. No i didn't use apps for the gps since I was trying to get 3g working again as it was my main priority. the VZW guy flashed it twice to see if it worked and nothing, so that's why I'm freaked out. BTW I could call, txt and WiFi normally but I could not receive gps or 3g data, the up/down 3g icon would only flash up never down.

OTA software updates require you to confirm that you want to install so unless you did that, that can't be it.
There's probably no harm in getting it replaced now other than it being a minor inconvenience, but keep in mind that you still have a year warranty on the phone. If it's having a problem maintaining a data connection they would have to replace your phone (though it might be a refurb).
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?
Put it in airplane mode. Tben out. Sometimes that helps, try a battery pull? All else fails bring it in and replaced

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.

where abouts are you located? im in roseville. ive been all around today for work (clinton twp, detroit, harper woods and st clair shores) and no connection in either of them areas.
could it be that ive been flashing a stupid amount of roms/radios lately? im SERIOUSLY getting butt hurt because my gal keeps sending me what she calls "naughty pics" and im not able to download them!
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.

It's been widespread since Tuesday night.

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.

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.

Yeah, I know. But my phone doesn't look stock one bit. Custom splash, custom boot animation, sense 3.0, gingerbread 2.3.4, custom lock ring, glowing data icons, etc.... Etc..

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.

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.

I don't think I have the SMS center settings, but auto retrieve is checked
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.

No problem man. I'll post an update to see what Att does.
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.

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.
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"
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
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.

It's the network upgrade guys. Coincidence or not, it's the upgrade. Everyone has complained about this and it's always the same explanation.
Do you have to call your voicemail to get your texts?

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
