I'm having this weird issue it seems every weekend now, for some reason my SMS do not send using the stock SMS or a 3rd party app. However I can send and receive my SMS through Google Voice? I called *2 and it run those serious of test but the Voice test connection usually fails. I then hit PRL Update and it supposedly updates my PRL but still have a failed Voice test. After repeatedly doing this sometimes it will pass the Voice & Data test and then all these text that I did not receiev through my stock SMS or 3rd party app will all start coming in rapidly. Anyone else have this issue? Yes, I'm rooted and it has happened on all my ROMS that I have used. Thanks
Sprint is adding the Network Vision update to their towers. I have had the same issues in the past. I fixed it by a complete wipe, unroot, stock Rom, called Sprint went through the usual bs, and it worked.
You're saying i need to go back to Stock?
That's what helped with mine. Wish you didn't have to. Full wipe, stock Rom, unroot. Best bet for sms to work. It could be a bug in sprints network, I would wait to unroot and wipe. But its up to you. Just a question when you spoke with Sprint, were you rooted and ROMed?
It's weird cause I still can get SMS through Google Voice though?
That's through Sprint-Google Voices servers-Phone. That means you most likely will have to put to stock.
I'm stock now and on my second EVOLTE and both phones had this issue. My current stock EVOLTE still has this issue.

I'm on charmeleon Rom v.5.0.0 without any issues. Maybe both of you flash that, and tell me if its fixed. It could be a radio issue, which the Rom does address.
I did use Charmeleon ROM and had this issue! The issue comes and goes very inconsistent. Since around approximately 9/10p the issue has stopped.

Could be a sense issue, perhaps an ota will solve the issue. Sorry for your troubles. I know HTC Sense does have a "bug" (they say its a "feature" but its not.) That you're radios become weaker at 7pm-7am to conserve battery.
I think it is a sprint issue. For example when i use the stock or 3rd party SMS, in some areas of the city I won't get text all, but when I enter another area I will get all my text at once. Then they start to repeat themselves at least 3 or 4 times throughout the day. It sucks.

Agreed. I'm actually starting to have problems with 3G and the network. It's a sprint problem, sorry if I caused any inconvenience to either of you! It was well worth a try!
No issue or hard feelings NP, this forum is all about helping others. I know you where just trying to help out and I appreciate your responding! It's funny cause I'm having this SMS issue now. LOL I've never experienced any network issues with Sprint until now! For now I guess I'll just have to use GV as my SMS app of choice, although you can't send or receive MMS through GV.
Are you both using GV right now? I just installed it back on and had the issue. Didn't occur to me at the time. I will try unpairing my GV number and my number and see if it helps.
I also use GV. I wouldn't mind, but GV is really ugly and limited.

My phone will receive texts for about a day. Then it stops receiving them entirely and the only resolution I've found so far is to reboot.
Is this a known problem and if so, how can it be permanently resolved?
Do you use Google voice? I forgot to install it and missed voice mails and texts for a few hours. A friend had a task manager that was killing Voice and he could not figure it out so he brought me his phone, after he threw it. I took voice off the auto kill list and he is good now.

I wish this was my issue, but no, my phone is stock, and rooted using OCR.
I do not think I have been having this issue since day one of owning the photon (9/15), so if that's the case, it started at some later point.
Its more than likely sprints network and not the phone. Visit the official Sprint forums and you will see a lot of complaints about this same issue from people with all types of phones.
Over the past week (or longer) sprint was experiencing nationwide outages. I too couldn't receive text on and off. Also my 3G has just been off but i could make calls. I called and thats what a rep told me; makes sense i guess. Sprint blows anyways
Ive noticed that when sending certain sms messages, the messages will keep spooling and not send unless I delete and resend it. Seems to happen at random times, even with no signal it should still send when it gets a signal right ? Using the Handcent SMS
Same thing happens to me.
I had the exact same issue. I stopped using Handcent and the issue went away. I've never had this issue on any of my last 5 android devices. Really frustrating since I have used handcent as long as I can remember.
+1 - Yep, me too! Even using GVoice + Sprint integration, too!
Also, if I restart my phone all the texts will magically send. Anyone else find this to be the case?
I also noticed that I can't get voice to text to work. I speak, select the line that reflects what I said....and then nothing. It doesn't paste it in. Any one else?

I'm having the same problem. texts i sent after and before the unsent ones send fine. using go SMS pro

i have this same issue with handcent as well
I used to always have issues with handcent. When I had the Hero none of the MMS would send. So since then I have been using Go SMS Pro.
I am using Go Sms and I have the same issue. It seems if I am receiving a text at the same time, mine won't send and I have to delete it and start over. Also, when I send an MMS, it will create drafts of the same thing that I have to remove. My voice to text on swiftkey won't work either. I will have to try it out on stock.

I was having the same problem and what I thought was happening was the phone was closing Handcent (multitasking issue) before the text sent. I don't currently have my EVO LTE to prove that this is the case.

It's all network improvements boys and girls. If you been experiencing dropped calls, network busy tones, missed, super late, or texts being rejected; its due to nv work.

How can you be so sure? I started experiencing this the day I got this phone.
I have the same issues. Unfortunately, the only time I actually get text on time and/or send text reliably is when I use Google voice. I hate Google voices SMS setup, its ugly, and you can't send attachments. Its a shame we have this very cool phone, that can't do the basic cell phone operations. However, I do agree that this issue could very well be a Sprint signal issue and not the fault of HTC.
I'd also like to add, this is my second EVOLTE and both had this issue. Also both phones were and is having problems receiving calls. My missed calls don't even register, so once again, I have to rely on Google voice to let me know I missed a call via email, even after my phone never rang.

I can 100% guarantee you that this is not the reason for this btw....it may be in some places the reason but it is NOT the main reason this is happening...
I know for a FACT there has been 0 work on the towers in my area and seen this same thing happen...
Ok, so for me this is only an issue with third party messaging apps.
I have been using the stock app now and haven't had the issue once.
Go back to Handcent sms, boom! issues again.

I have the same issue. I had the same issue briefly a few weeks ago; however, now it's happening only on Sprint's network. If I check "Roam Only" on Meanrom I'm able to place calls, and send/receive text messages just fine. It started happening again when I used the LazyPanda s-off. I asked Sprint to do an HLR reset, and I still have the same problem. I've updated the profile 7 times now.
Since the ICS upgrade, my stock unrooted E3D is receiving texts twice. It happens in stock messaging, Handcent, and Go SMS...it's weird. Texts I send aren't received by others twice, but any text sent to me, I get twice. In whatever messaging app I'm using. I was wondering if anyone had seen this?
Are you using an Airave in your house?

No. I have great signal...
Hmmm, well since you are unrooted, you can try a factory reset, that will clear up any bugs if it's a software glitch. I would also call Sprint first, and have them refresh or reprogram the phone.
Before doing that factory reset try ##72786# followed by your msl code. Might save you the trouble of having to restore everything back..
im leaning toward network issue as well since its happening on multiple sms apps..
Thanks guys...Looks like it might have been a network issue...it seems to have fixed itself.
My phones sms is all borked out. Phone is completely stock, unrootedx with the latest ota update.
My sms are ALWAYS timestamped wrong which seriously ****s with my ocd. Sent will he fine but received are always hours behind or ahead.
Also lately, phone won't send me my sms all day and then bam!! 12 messages all at once.
I have fine reception, never roaming, full bars of 3G almost always. What gives???

Are you using the AirRave (network extender) while at home? I am, and its been messing with my text messages since I switched to sprint. Doesn't matter which phone (OG Evo, Evo lte, Epic). Time stamps are screwy, duplicates sent, and sometimes it cuts the 1st half of my message off which makes my texts look like I'm crazy... lol... Only happens when I'm connected to the AirRave at home though...
I've had this sort of thing happen to me two or three times over the last 5+ years with Sprint. It was incredibly irritating, but it did go away on it's own after about two days. If it's happening to you for longer than that... I'd be concerned. And to second the above post, if you're using an Airave, all bets are off when it comes to text messages. I'm currently a month into back and forth phone calls to Sprint about getting mine replaced to see if that fixes my sms issue.
Use ICS tranquility and your timestamps will NEVER be wrong.
Not using Airrave.. its been going on for about two weeks now o__o
Thanks for the tip on ics tranquility, will definitely check it out!!
maybe this will work
I had this happen to me just a couple days ago, but I was not receiving or able to send sms at all. I went into a sprint store and the rep told me he had to call in to have my text messaging codes reset. So he called in and reset it and it worked! He said you should be able to do it over the phone, just don't be on your phone, or on chat.
Sense is completely messing with my SMS messages. Mine come in under the wrong number.
If I text a lot and delete some messages, the next person to text me comes in as the last person I deleted.
In the stock SMS app I can see it come in under the wrong person then quickly change to the right.
If I use Chomp or Go SMS Pro, it stays under the wrong person unless I kill the app and restart it. My texts are constantly going to the wrong people, and to my friends Facebook posts.
I've had this problem with every build thus far. I've wiped, RUU'd...still does it.
My friend is running Meanrom, it does it on his. Doesn't seem to do it on ROMs without Sense.
Someone else has to have noticed this.
I've never had any of this happen, nor have I ever heard of the texts messages being labeled as coming from the wrong contact. If it happens with other messaging apps, why do you think it's sense?

In my original post I said it happens with the stock app.
Its more of a problem with third party apps because they don't work the same way the stock app does. So when the message is displayed wrong for that brief second it grabs that. If I kill and restart third party app, the message changes back to the right person.
The reason I think its sense is because sense handles the messaging on these phones, and the problem cannot be replicated on a senseless rom. I can duplicate this problem on a rooted phone with meanrom. What are the odds chomp sms and go sms pro would have the exact same bug? Both of them rely on the core sms framework for data, so whatever is messing with them is happening in core. I've got a post about this over at sprint and it seems to be picking up a little steam. A fee more people.are crawling out of the woodwork with this problem.
if handcent is that third party app u using it will always do it .something is wrong with that app .use go sms
So... I recently got a replacement used Fascinate for my original unit that had a shattered screen. It has GeeWiz 4.2.2 loaded on it and I really like it. Damn near perfect... except for one thing and I'm not even sure/don't think it's the phone/ROM.
My texting issue is related to MMS. I can send any text... short, extended/pages long, picture texts (MMS) and I can receive all except long texts. And it's only an issue with my wife. She can write a book. LOL After doing more testing with other people, it seems to be a thing with Pageplus and Verizon. My wife is on Pageplus. I'm on Verizon...for now. My son is also on Verizon and has the same issue. I had a friend who is also on Pageplus send me a long text and it failed too. If I have someone on Verizon send me a extended text (over 140 characters) and comes thru fine. Only Pageplus customers seem to have the issue and it's only to my phone. I can have my wife send a long text to a friend who on Verizon and it goes thru fine.
The failure is on the senders side too. The senders phone will says failed to send. I don't get anything on my end. This is only to my phone.
I've searched and haven't found but a couple of references to a similar problem and no solutions. One possible thing that I haven't followed up on yet is this.... This phone was on Pageplus. I activated it on Verizon. Verizon shows no issues on their end at all but I'm wondering if Pageplus still has something in their system from the previous owner with this ESN. It's only Pageplus people that have this issue sending texts to my phone. They can send to other Verizon phones. And this is only long/extended texts that are 140 characters or more. Short texts and picture texts work fine. Oh....and if the sender attaches a pic to the long text, I will receive it.
It really weird. Wondering if anyone has seen anything similar or has any ideas. My next step is to call Pageplus support to see if they can help. I was also going to re-activate my old phone to verify the problem goes away. I welcome any insights.
Mike
PS - Sorry this is my first post. Can't believe I've been on this board this long and haven't posted before but this is a daily stop for me for years now.

have you checked the settings in the "Messaging" app itself, seems I recall a converting sms to mms or some setting that deals with that...

I thought that had more to do with outgoing texts than incoming but I will try it later and report back.
So I looked in the settings of stock texting app and it doesn't have the "convert long sms to mms" option but I'm running 8sms in Default mode, which basically just themes the stock app and adds a couple more setting/features....one of which IS "convert long sms to mms". It was doing this before I started using 8sms so it's not the app. I'll try the change and post back results.
I tried turning that option on but it had no effect. Open to other suggestions. Still need to call Page plus support yet too,

maybe try a different ROM to make sure it's not just an issue with GeeWiz? roll back to a stock ROM and see if that fixes anything... also use the right ROM, you know, eh03 for vzw devices, etc.
Or possibly try another texting app or even hangouts will do sms/mms...
It sounds like page plus is possibly not splitting the message into 2 sms or not converting a long sms to a mms unless it explicitly contains a picture,,,
I would think that is software settings
That also could potentially be the sender's messaging app not converting it to mms and/or not splitting the message into 2 sms.
I know you said there were multiple people sending you stuff,, to they both have the same app?
Let me try to clarify the scenario....
My phone is a Fascinate with Geewiz 4.2.2 ROM activated on Verizon (for now LOL).
I have several people on Pageplus that can't send me an extended text message, meaning a text message over 140 characters. One is an iPhone 4, one is a Fascinate on Superclean ROM, and the last is a Fascinate on Geewiz 2.9. If any of them try to send me a message that longer than 140 characters, it fails to send on THEIR end. I never see it. These same 3 people can send the exact same text that fails to other Verizon phones with no issue.
My phone was originally a Verizon phone that was then switched to Pageplus. When I got it, I put it back on Verizon.
It seems to me that this is an issue with Pageplus, almost like there's some information in their system still that sees my phone as inactive and refuses to send it. The texts fails on the senders end almost like they don't have service. I need to take a chunk of time and call Pageplus support and see if this is even a possibility. Regular texts and picture messages sent from those same phones DO make it thru. I can send all forms of SMS/MMS with no issues. It's only receiving and only from Pageplus customers. If a Verizon customer sends me an extended text, it comes thru no problem.
I would think if it's the ROM, the problem would be evident regardless of the carrier the message was sent from. How could a ROM single out a specific message from a specific carrier? I'm not saying it's possible but it seems like this is a system issue on Pageplus side.
Thanks for the suggestions. It helps validate the steps I've taken and my thought process to solve it.
Well, I spent about 2hrs on the phone between Pageplus and Verizon tech support. Each blamed the other for the issue but ultimately Verizon is looking into it. Made to Level 3 support for whatever that is worth. Supposed to get a call back after they pour thru whatever they have to look thru. We'll see. They all agree that if the phone can receive EMS texts (Verizons extended text message protocol), the phone itself can't distinguish between carriers. The settings for each are the same. Since Pageplus and Verizon use the same system/network, it SHOULD work and can't really be my device. It's something on one of their networks.
Oh... and nobody has ever heard of something like this ever happening....which gives me great confidence that it will get resolved... LOL
Latest... tech support has been less than helpful... SURPRISE! LOL
They said that my phone is rejecting the messages but can't explain how Verizon Extended messages get thru but not Pageplus...which uses the exact same system. Not sure what else to do than maybe try a different ROM to see if it really is Geewiz or not...or maybe swap a device on the account too.
