I have three MMS messages (received last night and today) that show as "downloading" in the stock messaging app as well as GO SMS. Is anyone else having any issues and/ or is there a way to force the download? I can't say I've seen this on any of my previous devices.
Yep, same issue. I also today had to restart the phone because I was getting all of my text messages in Google Voice, but none were actually showing up on the phone. They all got delivered after restart.
My MMS is still "downloading" after a week.
Weird. Mine is working just fine. Doubt it's a widespread issue, or we'd hear more about it.
sent from my Evo LTE, usually.
I am located in North Jersey, and I have been having the same issue. Running HTC EVO. Sprint's network has been blowing chunks ever since it put iphones into the mixture. Data has been horrible!
thank god it's not just me.. I'm having the same issue as well (using Go SMS) Even in the stock app sometimes they won't download.
I'm also connected to an Airave so I know it's not a network issue (even turned off the Airave and the issue is still here).
Even sending MMS takes forever both on and off my Airave - never had that issue with my 3D (my wife has it now and it has been running flawless)
yeah, mine is the same way.
The only thing I can tie it to is running wifi and mobile at the same time. But if I'm on mobile only it won't download if I have another data intensive app running such as streaming music. Fed up with it though.

Ok well I turned off Wifi and rebooted and the MMS finally downloaded. This is an MMS from another sprint user too. WTF, Sprint is really sucking it lately. Yesterday I shut down and rebooted and finally I got the images that were not downloading.

I'm still having the same issue, I've tried turning off wifi then rebooting to no avail... Does anyone have fix that can be done in build prop for instance? I'd greatly appreciate any guidance.
Go into Messages, and click on the Settings icon. You will see an option to send and receive maximum size attachments, that may fix ur issue. I would also look into flashing xHausx's deodexed ROM, which includes the latest OTA and fixes, including a patch for WiFi and network connectivity. This stabilized my LTEVO. Good luck!

Just sitting here at work, and I noticed my battery was unusually low for my usage today... when I noticed that my 3G icon was missing. I thought that was weird, because less than an hour ago, I had it for sure. I was getting email updates for work on a regular basis.
When I checked my quick settings, my mobile network just kept saying "Turning On," and would sometimes flash between that and 'ON' but never actually brought up a 3G, (or any data icon for that matter.) Texts are still getting through, but are about 2-3 minutes behind Google Voice popups on my laptop.
Has anyone else seen this before? I have rebooted, and tried Airplane mode, and disabling/renabling all the radios individually, and nothing has worked... Guess I should yank the battery now. Really bizarre. I usually get pretty good 3G service over here.
If it continues, exchange it.

Mine did the exact same thing this afternoon in Lubbock Tx. I rebooted, turned off and on and data always showed turning on but never connected. For some reason I ended up in the Sprint Zone and it then connected. It went into spring zone as I tried to connect to *2.
Don't have a good explanation of why it started working but try going to the spring zone and check data on.
The same exact thing happened to me too on my 3d today.

Did you do the "speedup 3D" trick that was posted where you removed the proxies after typing in your MSL password? If so, undo it, because that's your problem.
I haven't messed with any settings. I pondered it, but I haven't received my MSL code yet.
I did just find out that my coworker lost his 3G on his Epic. I think this is a Sprint issue, and not any of the devices... Scary though.
Austin, TX here.
im experiencing the same issue right now here in north austin, tx. im getting basic phone services but no network (market/FB/web/etc.)
and no I did not use the speed up internet fix.

well seeing how there are 3 texas people here experiencing this issue it might just be issue with sprint
Maybe they are upgrading the equipment of the "node".
I will be calling sprint on break in 10 minutes to find out
Well I just came back from BestBuy and picked up the 3D here in Michigan. Everyone in mobile just about had Sprint and no one could connect to 3g. My Evo 4g had a very limited connection. As soon as I got the 3D, it couldn't update the weather. So it is definitely something going on with Sprint right now and not your phone.
Just came back for me... Ben White / I-35 area. That was weird.
Are you sure your power saver settings aren't disabling your data connection due to your phone being below the % you set it at?
I don't think it's a 3d problem. I've had trouble connecting to 3g here and there with my og evo about 2 weeks before the 3d came out. I seriously think sprint has some serious network problems.
Man what is going on with Sprint? It's been happening a bit today as well.
I installed golflogix and it gave me an error message and forced closed the program and also put the 3d into airport mode.
However, golflogix will work on 4g.
There seems to be some problems with the sprint network or the 3d.
I had this same issue over the weekend. Rebooting the phone never worked so I did a factory reset and havent had the problem since. but it does make me a little apprehensive.
Perhaps the network is experiencing outages as they roll out an upgrade to their data network to proactively detect unauthorized tethering activity so that when HTC imminently unlocks the Evo 3D, they can charge backdoor tetherers appropriately.

Thought this was funny. Waiting for a break from work to call Sprint, while surfing xda...
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???

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.
so this morning i saw on XDA that a new PRL update was out for the evo. i did the *2 thing and clicked update PRL. it said it updated but ever since than i CANNOT make calls nor send or get texts. nor can i put 3g on. =/

I updated to the latest PRL and I have been having trouble acquiring 3g connection at work in Houston. It goes in and out and the data speeds are abysmal. It is very fustrating. My OG Evo was slow but not this slow here at my office. Im not a happy camper....
Have you rebooted?
at least you get some what of 3g. every time i turn 3g on i get "sprint error code 97"
i cant send texts or make calls.
i think my PRL update failed mid download and now i cant update it at all. ugh this is so annoyinggg
iv rebooted so many times. every time i go to *2 it says i have an PRL update. when i go to click it i get this..
Try turning on wifi, then turning mobile off. Then wifi off, and the mobile back on.
Mine had to try turning on a few times, but eventaully came back. Thing is, my prl didn't even update.
Still on the same one, which apparently can vary by location.
Doing the *2 will probably always tell you there is an update.
Mine came with that prl. I haven't had a issues other then Wednesday it wouldn't connect for about a half hour. I did about the reboots and it finally worked again

If you are having issues make sure you also update your profile. The option is right above "update prl"
Settings>System Updates>Update Profile
Also, try updating your PRL through the phone and not through *2 first and see if that works, then update your profile.

I live in Houston (Sugar Land) as well and yesterday I had a chance to play with this. WOW, just leaving my house and not turning WiFi off it wouldn't connect to 3G, I would get the icon everyonce in a while, but trying to get a speed test i would get connection failure every time...
So I turned off data, wifi then turned back on and it worked. I hope I don't have to do this every time... but I can tell you before this I didn't do this and noticed when I would turn my phone on after i left my house (WiFi) for the first 5 seconds or so after the screen lit up there would be no 3G icon, then it would appear and get up/down arrow traffic...
Seems something is wonky? Not sure if this update fixed or made it worse, once I was able to connect I got really good (for 3G on sprint) speeds 1.4 down and .7 up... I would do a screen shot, but forgot how? thought it was power home but that isn't working..
still love the phone though...

I got into settings but there is no "system updates" or "update profile". There was on my who 3d. Is it hidden somewhere?
I tried to update, prl stayed the same. 3g went out, until turning mobile data off, and back on.
Sure wish they'd flip the LTE switches here in their hometown. I'm roughly 2 miles from sprint headquarters..
Glad I don't see the bill, because if I did I'd stop paying it.
This seems to be a common thing this morning. I spent an hour on the phone with tech support. She told me to take the phone back, however it seems that a lot of people had this problem. Mine is back up and running with 3g.

Speeds have been abysmal since about early afternoon here in VA. Speedtested and got anywhere between 90-220ish kbs, can barely stream Pandora on low quality (which means it's TERRIBLE).

I had the same issue on my phone. I called Sprint and had to do a factory reset before I could re-establish a data connection. Make sure your contacts and any files you want to keep are backed up and clear out Google Wallet if you haven't already and factory reset the phone. Go through the normal activation process and you should be back up. I won't touch my PRL update again unless I absolutely have to.

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
I have a problem with texting. I try texting a coworker of mine and he can't receive my texts. I can get his fine but he can't receive mine. He's using a Samsung galaxy s3 on Verizon. He's the only one I have these problems with. What could be the problem?

It helps to name the ROM, sometimes there are known issues associated with the ROM in question. A good example would be CMX having an issue that doesn't let you download MMS but you can still send them

Haven't tried viper yet, someone else might know if its a pre-existing issue. I use Google voice so in the even that I can't use my phone text messages can still be sent, also it backs up everything which is quite handy
Are you receiving a confirmation that your texts are being sent? I have noticed that when I am sending texts while at the office, where I have a very low cell signal, that sometimes my texts are not sent at all. I use Handcent SMS and sometimes after I "send" a message, the wheel will spin but the message will never officially go through (I have come across messages that I thought I sent the previous day). This usually occurs when I have a very low or no cell signal. Generally, when I "edit" the message and re-send it the text goes through. I am also running Viper4G.

Where are you located? I'm in the SF bay area and it seems like sprint is always mucking about with the network here one way or another, be it wimax deployment or now probably LTE testing. My friend who is on a Samsung Epic4g also has the same problems as i do, but when he went to vegas and hawaii none of those issues popped up.
I'm on Viper4g 1.0 also and i've had the problems of outgoing texts not going at all or being delayed by a considerable amount of time. I had this behavior on charmeleon and the old Viper also so i don't think its an issue with the rom. It is either the phone itself or the network, and i'm more inclined to think its the network because the issues were not present when i went down to LA.

It could be the device but not as a bug or hardware failure. In my area we had towers that were experiencing partial failure (cs rep's words not mine, I dont believe in partial anything. If it fails it fails) with the towers and they were under repair. When I visited my father which is the area directly affected he complained that his phone was defective and no one could hear him speaking. Sprint replaced the phone twice and same issue on those as well. His data worked albeit slowly and anytime I attempted to access data my lte would jump to roaming and not accept calls. A friend of his also in the same area had the exact same issue with his epic touch but he noticed that when he left the area it would work. it took 3 months for those 2 towers to come back completely. Naturally I assumed it was an upgrade (vision network and or lte) but sadly no
