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"

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

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??? BTW: I'm rooted running stock RUU 2.3.4 on latest radio and prl...

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.
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.

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.

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!

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but it appears I am not receiving some calls and/or receiving text late or not at all. I wondering if setting the Roam setting to "Sprint Only" or "Automatic" makes a difference. This seems to be an off and on issue. Also it is starting to get on my nerves when I get text VMs atleast 3 hours after the call was made to me (keep in mind my phone never rang during those calls).
Anybody have any solutions, besides throwing this cool "buggy ass" phone against the wall?
This is a nice phone but it definitely has some bugs to be worked out. Or is all the problems related to Sprint's F'd up signals? My wife has the EVO3D and has none of these issues... wtf.

I have researched the issue and it appears this issue is not uncommon. There is already an established post started for this issue, titled; "Anyone else having reception/signal issues?" Right now it appears one the ways to fix this issue is having Sprint re-provisioning your phone. Some have claimed this has helped.
I am planning on doing this myself sometime today.
But it does seem to be a Sprint conectivity issue and/or an issue with the phones antenna.
So I called Sprint and they had me reactivate, but signal still seemed to be a problem as it still roams. They recommended I take it in and get it replaced. So that is what I am going to do as I am just under the 14 day period.
not receiving calls
are you guys still having the same issue or have a work around?
I'm also not getting calls and when I try to make calls, I receive text messages that was sent in the past. I tried to contact customer support but all they've done was have me update profile and restart the phone. This is getting ridiculous specially missing some important calls.
Complain and get a free Airave. Then you'll have perfect call quality and 5 bars everywhere in your house. Done.

I have been missing lots of calls the lastbfew days, and even wasnable to replicate the issue at my house. If my wife's phone calls mine, it will ring until voicemail on her end,and I get nothing on mine unless I leave a voicemail. I have steady, if not great signal on both (100ish DB).this is only the case for incoming calls, as I can always call out from home with no problems.
I tried that scenario a coupl dozen times, and got through 4 times.
I found two workarounds so far that seem to work consistently. (Both from other threads, can't take credit for finding them, but I did test them extensively. )
1. If I am on another call, I will get the incoming call everytime. I just dial voicemail and have someone call me to test. Without fail, the call center through.
2. Turning GPS and all location services on under settings -location. Strangely enough,all of my dozen test calls have gone through after turning GPS location on. Turning it off brought the usual 20% call success rate back.
Odd to say the least...

It isn't a signal issue, the phones just don't ring. I have this issue and have full bars when attempted calls do not come into the EVO LTE. I can make calls out fine, just no received calls. Also to make this a more peculiar issue, I go down the highway a couple miles and it works fine.
I have called Sprint and followed a blog on sprint.com http://sprint.r.delivery.net/r/c/r?2.1.GT.2Z2.1hiUnF.DfhoXq..N.1QNCs.4RAa.bW89MQ__DObeFTE0 where others have the same issue, even in the same town. Sprint has followed up with no issue and ticket closed. It is currently open again..
My girlfriend broke up with me over theses missed text messages
and i missed important calls. I called sprint he had me turn off the phone while they refreshed it. Working ok so far i will say this i unrooted my phone and when i woke up i had 48 text messages from the previous week and eight voice mails from three days ago, i wonder if everyone with this problem was rooted as well.

I had the same problem with me evo 4g and evo 3d...
I had same problem. Only way to get texts or calls was to call my voice mail. Sprint started a ticket, but since I was within my 14 days I exchanged the phone. Good thing I did cause Sprint closed the ticket on me telling me it was due to system upgrades. But it was not the network at all. As soon as they activated my new phone everything worked perfect. It was the phone the whole time.

Try This...
I have an epic4g touch and this is the only "Band aid" that has stopped me from smashing my phone!
What I would recommend doing is using Google voice as your voicemail provider. Go to the options menu on the website and have it send you an email when you miss a call.
Google voice will always log the call even if your phone does not ring. For somebody like me who uses this phone for work, it definitely helps. You may miss the call but you will at least know that you missed the call and you can call them back.
It has saved me many times!
I started having trouble with my LTE just after FeedPanda (no blame being thrown around, just stating).
I'm running the stock ROM with Zedomax's method. A couple of hours ago, I ran FeedPanda and successfully got S-OFF.
Since then, I haven't been able to send or receive texts or receive phone calls (outgoing calls work). I was using PRL 12121 but have since "updated" to 25004. I've only used ~50MB of roaming and ~900MB on network of data per Sprint.com.
I've gone through Profile Updates and even hands free activation (##72786#).
If jump over to Verizon's network with RoamControl and go through activation (over wifi) there, then I can receive calls, send texts, and receive SOME texts.
I'll be able to test a different Sprint tower in the morning, but the fact that I can't receive some texts is bizarre. Sprint claims to not have any problems with the tower in my area currently.
Any ideas/opinions until I can test a different tower?

Personally I'm waiting out unlocking with panda until others have done it and issues have been reported and evaluated by the community. Want to make sure I have answers available should something go very wrong.

Ahhh.... I got it fixed.
Recently, when I tried to make calls, Sprint started interrupting my outgoing calls after the first ring with a voice saying "Error: 16..."
I looked it up on Google. Apparently it's an anti-fraud measure Sprint has against S-OFF phones to make sure that people aren't getting on their network.
A call to Sprint to remove the flag on the line and a hands-free activation was all it took.
Sorry to answer my own question, but maybe this will help someone.

Sent from my EVO using XDA Premium HD app
I did root and s-off and everything worked but when I did the *2 it said voice failed, though it worked.
So it bothered me to see that and I went and did a ##data# and cleared my data profile out.
Rebooted phone did *2, this time voice passed and data failed natrualy as I cleared it.
Now I got on my wifi, went to settings, update profile and prl and it added info back. Got off wifi and had no data still. Went into ##data# and found active profile was 0, set to 1 and all been good now and *2 passes everything.
Only odd thing I found is my lifetime data resets to 0 with every reboot and my min/call count is frozen at 0 on the ##786#.
I actually had the same issue but not from going S-OFF. I lost incoming voice and text going back to S-ON. I just opened chat with sprint though and they fixed the issue in 3 minutes.

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
