SMS problems? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Is anyone having problems sending and receiving text messages? It started this morning. I'm on viper rom but it's not the rom because I restored my MeanROM back up and it's doing the same. I would appreciate the help if anyone has insight on this problem.

I had an issue that started that way, it eventually made its way to an error with Sprint completely losing connectivity. After reading that many have had the very same issues, I exchanged the phone at a corporate Sprint store after they couldn't make it login either and haven't had an issue since.

Hopefully that's not the case if so since this will be my second exchange, I might not get another EVO.

Multiple Sms messages

Anyone else experiencing receiving multiple Sms messages. If so does anyone know how to fix it?

Yes I have the same problem. Don't know the solution though. I got 5 of one sms and 3 of another today. Very annoying.

Is this happening from all contacts, or just a select few? If a select few, check to see if the messages coming from are from one carrier. I've had this happen to me a few times on another phone. The issue was from the other carrier, not much you can do anything about except report the issue to customer service. If you are on limited texting plan at least, otherwise ignore it.
It's from multiple carriers for me.

This has been happening to me a lot also. I have tried to do pretty much everything, but nothing has worked. I tried handcent's option to replace the stock messaging system, which only lead to me not receiving about 50% of texts. Hopefully someone has a fix for this? It's very annoying
i can't sent and receive mms since i write the number, who can resolve it?

Sorry bud, I can't parse your message here.
Yup same problem.. duplicate messages even with the stock app..
Call Verizon just for the purpose of them getting the message.
It's annoying when you get 6 messages.. I wonder if it's counting as multiple txt on the bill..

i would like to hope its doubtful that its costing extra as its mostly a problem of the phone pulling the messages multiple times, basically not ticking the "received" box on the server side of things. afterall, it is easier to count them as they pass through the network versus your phone counting and reporting back, not very efficient... mines kicked up again recently.. and yes rather annoying...
I noticed this too but it only happened after I used ATK more aggressively. I rebooted my phone and the messages stopped coming in repeatedly. Seems to have gone away now that I'm rooted. Hope that helps someone out there.

reboot, dial *228 (on Verizon) goes through the phone activation, problem solved.
Vzw tech said it could be the towers, or the phone... the only thing he was really sure about was that this fixed it.

Which option...1 or 2? I would assume #2.
I have done this FYI, it did not fix it.
Option 1 seemed to work for me.

Multi services?
Ok i intermitently have this same problem but noticed something interesting that may be related? I downloaded a startup manager program to see what was starting up on reboot yesterday and noticed there are 3 text message services running? Im assuming this may be the cause of multiple messages recieved so I have disabled 2 of the 3 instances and was still able to recieve sms but not sure if this will fix the issue or not
If you look that is the text msg app listening to different events, not 3 copies of it loading.

Radio Interface Shortage

I'm getting this error a lot when sending and recieving texts... whats it casued by? is there a fix? an issue?
Call sprint, tell them your having data connectivity issues, they'll walk you through a data restore procedure. Worked for me

Ive be seeing the same issue but it seems to be related to the 2.08 update that got put out and the new radio. i tried the data profile update and prl but still the same thing.

It isn't, I haven't updated yet because I haven't decided on rooting yet, and I have the issue sometimes.
Same issue here. Happens a lot on the airrave. Data restore and texting restore didn't help

Delayed Texts?

My texts are delayed and/or coming in batches. Same with the voicemails. This is a HUGE problem. I am S-off, 1.58 bootloader (I think that's the new one), rooted, and using viruses stock rooted sprint ROM. ANyone else having problems? I'm on sprint in the Denver area.
I have the exact same setup and issue with sms. I don't use voicemail so no idea on that. I think it started when I restored SMS from a backup. Have you done something like that recently?
I'm in the Denver area, running Mean ROM, ICS, having no issues with mms, sms or voicemails.
I would suggest a good wipe of your caches and a profile update.

Cleared delkavic and partition cache in recovery and the cache in the message app. Updated profile. Here's hoping.

All texts I receive are time stamped about 2-3 min ahead of my phones time so conversations get a bit hard to follow sometimes. I have tried to do resets, purges, different roms etc. I think it is a network issue with sprint... I don't doubt this because when they did tower upgrades here two weeks ago the auto time was set at PST and I live in Houston... It took a few calls to sprint before they would even acknowledge a problem and fix it.

They upgraded the network and it's so fast now that the texts travel forward in time. It's Network Vision!
In all seriousness, my phone will make me manually set my time zone occasionally as it can't get it from the network.

Happened to me too. Like it'd say the text was like from 9pm when it was really 3pm and it'd be so annoying because no matter what i send, it'd always be the most recent message.
Fyi, after clearing the caches, texts seem to be working as normal.

i had this problem only when roaming
i reflashed the sprint firmware from the vm one. seems to fix things
Clearing the caches and then updating profile works like a charm.

Also check that you're on a proper prl. I know it only affects roaming but I've had a similar issue. Tried different prls, mostly for the 3g roaming, and discovered that I wasn't even getting texts. Went to a different prl and issue resolved. Coincidence? Maybe... But it worked for me.

[Q] Error code 1233 when updating profile/prl

Last night I decided to try to update my prl through the updater in Sense and I got an error code 1233. Called sprint tech support and spent an hour trying to get it fixed. The tech ended up just sending me a new phone, which a huge buzz kill because I've had hboot 1.12 since the beginning with s-off. Was running toasted-deck from irc, and I don't know if that had anything to do with my phone getting screwed up so I figured I'd ask if anyone else has had this problem? I want to unlock this new phone when I get it too, and I'm really going to miss TD if this is a common problem.
I got the same thing while trying to update my firmware.

OF wouldn't accept a new phone there's a method of fixing it with WiFi and checking HTC updates then rebooting
cm10ed 3VO
I was getting this too. I had to run an errand up to another major city north of where I live. While there, I figured I'd give it a shot again, and it worked there. If you get the opportunity, try running it in a different area from where you tried.
I'm surprised that they are sending you a new phone for this.

I searched high and low for a fix before I even called Sprint Tech. Any chance you can point me in the right direction? I'll just send them their locked down phone back if I can fix this one.

Unfortunately I did try in a few different areas. I live in Cincinnati and go to school in Dayton, but got the same error in both places. I really wonder how this even happened because I never had a problem running AOSP on my OG EVO so I don't think that could be it.
I had this happen on my 3D and when it did work it only connected to Verizon....weird I know and even the tech couldn't believe but I did a data reset on it and never had that problem again.

So I was on stock with goodies and just out of curiosity switched to mean rom to try and activate my phone. The activation went off without a hitch and now my phone is working perfectly again. So pumped.
if u were able to do it before then all of sudden u can't, it must be sprint

I had the same problem a few days ago. I was Running CM10 and switched over to Stock w/ Goodies to update my PRL and Profile so i can take advantage of LA's new LTE network but i kept getting that error. I ended up unrooting and relocking my phone and restored to complete stock after that it updated fine the first time. I doubt being rooted prevents you from updating either the PRL or Profile.
I was getting the same error code at work. I googled the code ansomeone said it was a connection problem. I believe this because I never get a good signal at work. When I got home my prl updated. I'm on meanrom.
Easy Fix
Turn off WiFi and LTE radio (CDMA only) and try it. You should be able to update the PRL and Profile.
As "zAcHcOmA" mentioned, I also gave them a Thanks for it.. I had the same issue with "Error Code 1233".
My problem started when I noticed every incoming call I tried to answer thru the Handset would basically act as if I missed the call. Seems I didn't have an issue answering through Blue Tooth though. Not exactly sure what is causing this. I'll keep an eye on it after updating my PRL & Profile. Anyways, I did the following and was able to update both PRL & Profile..
1. Make sure Wireless is off
2. Set network to by going to Settings - Mobile Data - Network Mode "CDMA only"
3. I was then able to update both PRL & Profile through System Updates and I then rebooted my phone.
I'll now find out if my issue is resolved or if I still have on going issues.

What PRL are you currently on?
Also, keep in mind that your PRL has to do with roaming, so it shouldn't have any bearing on sending text messages (unless you're roaming). Your issue could be with Sprint and their service in your area, and not with the phone itself.

The most current PRL is 25015.....fyi.
Also, the issue may not be on your end-it may lie with whoever is sending you texts.

If you get that error you can try updating first over WiFi. I'd also do a reboot first. Once that works you can call sprint and they will refresh your connection on their side.

There are usually many quick fixes for me when that happens, such as toggling airplane mode, rebooting, wiping and flashing my rom. One thing I've noticed is that having more than one sms app tends to make my messages not send, so if you have more than one messaging app I suggest deleting the non stock app and re-trying

I think I was having the same problems back on my Blackberry, Sprint had to reconfigure my service or something, I can't really remember. But if nothing you do with PRLs/Phone systems then contact them to see if they just need to re-provision your line or something along those lines.
So I ran an ruu today brought and now they're sending me a new one now I'm rocking and EVO
