Why are my text message always delayed? It can takes 30 minutes for someone to get a message from me or they just usually say "pending". I'm on CleanROM ICS. Any ideas on why this is happening? I have full 4G bars.
That's usually a network error

The txt message part is still handled on the old 1X ( cdma ) side of the network. I believe this still applies with 4G; at least at this time.
I have noticed this with being with Verizon starting about 2007. I use to be subscribed to a service that sent me txt updates every few minutes. It was easy to see the delays, and when you got literally 5-8 messages all at the same time, with all the same time stamp, but received by the network at all different times, it was very noticeable.
I complained about this and informed them that this problem never occurred until i got this new phone, so i literally went through about 5 or 6 warranty replacements even a different model without a change. Interesting enough, going back to the old phone the problem stopped.
I took the complaint to the highest level, and they literally had no explanation as to why this was happening after monitoring my traffic. They were stumped. I did some research and noticed that a new cdma chipset came out about a year earlier, and i suspect, but can't prove that is the culprit, and i would bet that that same chip-set or a variation of it is still in use today... my theory anyway.
I emailed my vzw contact, and got no response... imagine that!

Yeah, your having two separate issues. Same thing happens here with the air rave really annoys people..
Same problem in Milwaukee, WI with "Radio resource shortage" message. Spoke to sprint they indicated I had a text block on my account, news to me. Once removed seems to have resolved the issue.
Back when Revolutionary was first released, I was lucky enough to not get the dreaded error 16 after obtaining S-OFF. However, earlier today I was trying to call my boss to ask a question when I got error 16 (I wish I remembered the switch number). From reading about it here, I knew to stay on the line and within five minutes a Sprint rep had me back up and running. It was like this woman had ESP or something; she knew exactly the reason I was speaking to her.
Anyway, long story short, is a random error 16 every now and again just going to be a way of life with Sprint now? Anybody else receive a random error 16 lately?

LOL, seems this kicks in at exactly the wrong time. Mine kicked in as I was being detoured around a large wildfire and one of my fellow Assistant Managers was calling about a situation she needed my help on.
The error automatically routes you to the right team, hence the reason for the knowledgeable representative.
I've heard that this is a new software side thing on Sprint to detect cloned phones and works similarly to the Windows Genuine Advantage... Checking software within the phone against various checksums. I was rooted a full month before this issue kicked in for me, and two days after my friend had the same issue. We were both rooting the same night. I would say that the issue is completely random, but once the check has passed you should be fine unless you root again and modify the boot areas of the phone. From what I can tell simply modifying the ROM will not cause the issue to trigger again. Radios might.
First time I've ever got this but today at precisely 2:30 I tried to call my wife and boom error 16 sprint lady was helpful but can't help but wonder if there is some kind of conspiracy? I wonder how many other people received same code today? Sprint is up to something I can feel it.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
if you get error code 16 stay on the phone and don't hang up. you'll be transferred to someone. Apparently its a new security feature. But don't trip about it, it has nothing to do with root
It's just to verify that you do belong on Sprint's network and you're not freeloading, which is why they ask for account information and such. Right after I rooted my first 3D I got it, and them right after I rooted my current one I got it. It's just what happens when you go from S-ON to S-OFF. Remember, S stands for security flag checking.

This isn't necessarily true. I had the error 16 yesterday and when i waited it just told me to call my voicemail (which error 16'd) and hung up. glad its fixed now, had to call sprint.
Just is shady several people have error 16 same day I have 4 other people confirming.

I also had this error 16 two times. One time when I first got my phone and 2nd time when rooted. Was also advised by the lady on the other end that its a security feature on the 3D...
When you root your phone, does the phone provision? It could be when the network detects a provisioning on your account?

After I rooted I got the error 16 immediately. While Sprint was fixing it for me, the rep mentioned that this new security feature was gradually being deployed accross the country. I wonder if the folks getting the error 16 yesterday are in the same general area. It may just be that security was deployed to that area recently.
I got Error 16 for the first time today. Mine was after going through regular tech support to correct an issue I was having sending a text though. Would come up Sprint SMS error 97. They reset my data etc on the phone via EPST.
Stayed on the line with the tech support while I was on the cell getting error 16 message. About 1 minute after they verified me and I was back on.
Never got any errors after root, Team Win or Revolutionary.
I just got the error today. It was while travelling to Chicago, my texts just wouldn't go through. I rooted as soon as we could and activated just fine after that. The csr today said it was a security upgrade possibly caused by me traveling out of my normal area.

Is Sprint having outages that i don't know about? At least 5 times a week (past 3 weeks) my 3G icon goes away and my signal bars turn gray and i cant call, text or use data. Its extremely frustrating! Its not my bill/service as im always on time and ive NEVER been late or missed a payment so that's not the problem. I just dont get it. Ive reset my phone a million times! What is going on? When i make calls it just says "your account cannot be validated" and all text get rejected. After a couple of hours the 3G comes back and i can make calls. Sprint you're already horrible please dont make me pay cancellation fees because i will.
Anyone else experience this?
Sounds like a tower issue, happened to me months ago, call and complain, got a credit when doing so myself. Worse case scenario they make you hard reset, it doesn't work, they send a tech to the tower and they figure our there is a problem

Just call for a credit, remember, you can't use unlimited data on Big Red, and if they won't give you most of your bill back, try speaking to a manager and demanding your money back as you were not getting the required service specified in the contract.
EDIT: Remember, go up the chain of commands if needed, and be persistent.

First, some back story:
On Monday, I attempted to do a profile update. The update failed, and I lost data, texts, and voice. All subsequent attempts to update my profile resulted in either a vDM Client crash or an error 1012, which means that my phone has no credentials on Sprint's network. PRL updates result in the same error.
I have gotten data back, and I can make calls and send texts, but I do not receive calls or texts; if I ever get a text, I'll get it almost literally a day later than it was sent. The only time I receive these texts, I'm roaming.
Usually the solution to this would probably be fairly simple: just use EPST to reset my data profile, or run an RUU. Well, two problems there:
1) EPST does not work. At all. Typing in ANY of the codes does absolutely nothing. I tried it stock (which I have been since I got the phone), and I then rooted and tried other .apks, and then I RUU'd and tried again. Still nothing.
2) The RUU didn't fix my issue; I still cannot complete a profile update or receive calls or texts.
I'm leaving for college in Maryland on the 16th of August, so I need to get this straightened away. I'm going to be too far away from home to have to deal with not getting calls or texts.
I purchased the phone for full, off contract price through Sprint at the beginning of June, since I didn't have an upgrade available. I do not have insurance on the device, and I didn't think to get it because I've never damaged a phone or had problems with a phone before.
At this point I'm convinced that I'll need to get a replacement. The only thing I worry about is how much they'll try to charge me for the replacement. I hope it isn't too much, because this was a fault of their network and not something that I caused. And, since I'm going to college in a month, I don't really have a lot of money to use on a cellphone.
So, to anybody who has had to exchange the phone for a replacement, what kind of fees am I looking at in order to get this fixed?
I had the same problem on my evo lte and on my s3 apparently meid on my number switched my s3 was screwed up called sprint it was on there side for the mix problem they sent me a data reset to my phone fixed the meids apparently and I got everything working back as soon as the phone rebooted give them a call and ask them to reset your phone and fix it on there side

I've already gone through a phone call, and they weren't able to figure it out. It sounds like you had the exact problem that I'm having though. Maybe another call will solve the problem.
Yeah did I got the same error code lol check if your phone number is correct first and then ask them to reset it for you I have to do some pound thing then enter a code that sprint only knew then they fixed it on there end apparently they were receiving I was connected to them but it was sending back from Sprints side

Just got off the phone with Sprint, and they said I won't be able to make a phone call, receive phone calls, or even text messages until October 14th because they are in the process of upgrading their towers to the new LTE network in the Fort Worth area. It's weird to own a phone that I can't use for the most basic features. GO Sprint GO.
P.S. Any recommendations on how to make a phone call or text over data so I can still make calls/text?

Sounds fishy... It's hard to believe that a carrier would just deny services and continue to charge for them. I assume this would mean no service for anyone in the ft worth area since you're not the only one who uses those towers. I don't think Sprint would risk the class action lawsuit.

No arguments there. I'll probably call back in a few days to see if they have anything better for me. Right now I'm sick and lost my voice, so I just don't want to deal with it. But once I get my voice back, I'll see if I can't get anything better out of them. Especially since I'm still paying for when I can't even use my phone which is kind of stupid.

Why would you call back in a few days? I would all over them about this if it were me and I wouldn't let up until I had a real explanation. Tell them to fix your **** or let you out of your contract (as not providing service to you while I assume you are in good standing and not violation the TOS on their part)
However, there are at least 3 sides to every situation what you say, what sprint says, and what really going on. Not calling you a liar it just seems like there is more to the story.
That's my 2 cents.

Sounds like a load of BS to me. I haven't had a problem with service around the area... I haven't actually been into "Fort Worth" in a few days, but I live pretty damn close. There is no way they could just shut off all services like that for almost two months. That rep must have been new or lied or something, because that doesn't even SOUND reasonable.
lol if they couldnt provide me service until Oct. 14th i would have just said i want to cancel without a fee immediately because i do business with my phone. and they can't really do squat because i pay for a service and they don't even let me do the most basic of functions.
OP needs to call back and get clarification. Only thing I have found:
https://www.sprint.net/maint_view.php
I might try to call again tonight once I get off of work. But again I'm not entirely sure what to say. Plus right now, I've lost my voice, so I can barely talk, as a result, I can't even show anger in my voice, so getting made isn't much of an option. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do yet.

I just got off the phone with the a Sprint manager last night, who then connected me to her EVO specialist. She was also unable to solve the problem, so she told me that she will get the towers in the area looked at and try to determine what is going on in the area and give me a call back within 72 hours. That said, they said they were going to do this once before 5 days ago now, but I still haven't got a call back from then. However, one good thing that I got out of it all is that they are crediting my account for the past 6 days and how ever many days more it takes to get my phone back on the network. So at the very least, now I'm not paying for phone service that I'm not getting, so that makes me happy. I'm sure they will figure something soon with the towers if not maybe they can give me Airrave so I can at least make phone calls while I'm at home which would make things more liveable. I'll keep everyone posted on what they discover and what they decide to do.
In addition, my location is the TCU campus in Fort Worth. I live close by and go to school there. In both areas I get no cell service. But once I drive about 5 miles away I have no problems. Let me know if anyone else in the area is experience the problems on XDA. The sprint store nearby between Berry and Hulen St. said they have had a few customers coming the past few days with the same problem, but I was curious if anyone on here was also experiencing my pain.

If that is the case it is either a provisioning error, phone isn't set to cdma only or bad phone.

I don't think you have the same problem that I do, because if I leave my area my phone works, fine. I'm only having trouble when I'm at TCU or at my house which is right next to TCU. But who knows, maybe they are related.
P.S. I've already changed my phone to CDMA only to see if it would help but got no change. Plus I've already taken it into the Sprint store, and they said everything was fine with the phone and factory reset it and everything, but saw no problems because their building is outside of my tower radius, as a result the phone worked perfectly there.
