Suddenly cant txt - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I was texting just fine, messages going out and back in, then a short time later texting completely stopped working. Nothing happens when some one sends a text. When I try to send it sits there for a while then says "unable to send message after multiple attempts." I'm now 20 miles from where the problem started so I cant say it's a tower issue. Other people in this office also have an Evo 4g and they can text fine. I restored a backup I had made a couple days ago in TWRP but still no luck. I wasn't doing anything, no phone hacks, updates, games, etc. It was working one minute then not working the next. Any ideas?

I was getting the same issue a few days ago. Texts wouldn't send at all and I would receive the 10-20 past the timestamp. It only happened to me while connected to 4G though because of tower issues. If you're in an unofficial 4G area turn it off and only use 3G for now

Take it to a sprint store and talk to one of their techs, tell the tech to call NSS and have them refresh the messaging service

Did u try every possible thing like profile and prl update
Or factory reset

Thanks for the replies. I did get it fixed. No 4g here, most likely not for years. Yes I did everything, updates, resets, even went back to stock and loaded the latest update. Brought it over to a sprint store and left it with them. An hour or so later they got it working. He said they actually had to do quite a lot of things to get it going again. Some kind of network problem... sprint forgot who I was for texting or something. Possibly could have called in and gotten my network stuff refreshed to get it going. He couldn't tell my why texting would be working just fine and then minutes later be inoperable, yet everything else ran just fine. Oh well, it works again. Now an even longer wait for s-off.

[Q] Error Code 128?

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.

My daughters phone had that problem. I updated profile seems to have fixed it for now.

Maybe it was due to the earthquake today. There was an announcement from Sprint saying the sprint towers were overloaded.

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.

[Q] Sense 3.5 Common Issues?

Just bought the phone three days ago and am having some problems I didn't see around here. Stock locked device. My phone keeps sending me to pacific time when set on automatic network update. Also I get hang ups with the 4G. It's connected with full bars but nothing loads. Facebook, browser, email. None of it loads up. After a few attempts it finally "activates" and starts working.
Can anyone help me out with these concerns? Normal? Or should I go swap out at the Verizon store?

The bars don't indicate 4g, just cellular signal. There are also reports of time zone shifting of those close to time zone lines. Shouldn't hang on 4g but you may have low 4g signal in your area. I would go to store and see if floor model act similarly.

Texting problems, think it's my airave. Hopefully not my device/roms.

Here's my problem. I can receive texts but I can't send them. I've tried the stock messaging app and downloaded ones from the market. I have gotten like 6 or so different texts from my gf yesterday and today. I have gotten each one at least 20 times. It will not send a text out at all. I'm hoping it's something simple. Doesn't seem to matter what rom I flash either.
I got a new airave device from sprint the other day and it works great for calling so far. Boosts my signal from 0-1 bar I used to get to full signal. I'm going out later so i'll know for sure when I get off the airave signal if I can send texts. Sprint has tried resetting it on their end but no change yet.
I was looking in my phone and I didn't see anywhere in the settings about updating the prl. Guess that isn't a option when you flash a rom? How can we update the prl then?
I'm currently running superkang senseless ics.

I can guarantee you it's the Airave. Those things have so many problems. I had one, and used it for 3 days before i put it back in the box.
Customer service is trying to fix it now. My signal is great. Just getting no data from it right now. W/out it I get very poor signal at my house.

Hopefully you've gotten it straightened out by now but I had the same issue and unplugging my AirRave for a minute or so and plugging it back in did the trick.

Thought I did. But still not yet. I thought it was my rom cause I left the house I still had no data. I flashed a different rom and I got my texting and internet back. I got home and still can't send texts. Very frustrating. Time to call sprint again

So I finally got it. They had to do a bunch of things on their end. Finally got someone that knew what they were doing.

Any one having multiple text message issues

Does he (or you) have an airave? If so, that might be the cause. My brother mentioned the same problem and he fixed it by unplugging the plugging in the airave.
I'm having the same problem getting multiple text messages from someone. But not 100% of the time. I haven't contacted Sprint about it yet.
one of my friends kept telling me she was getting double texts but it has since stopped....
I've been getting them also from all different places, just here and there though. I'm thinking it's sprint and not the phone, but I really don't know.

This happened to me at times on my EVO 4G.
I've learned to live with it. I never knew what the issue was.
It hasn't happened yet for me on the EVO LTE.
I am having the same issue. I took it to sprint and they gave me a hard time but eventually they swapped me out with a new one. and then the new one i have is also having the same issue. i rooted it thinking a custom rom might fix the problem and it didnt. Im going to do a little research because it started happening when i downloaded some apps. im going to delete them and see if the problem persists. but its not the phone i dont think.. it might be a software issue that sprint has to fix. unless i got 2 lemons which i doubt but there is a chance it could happen.
I had smae problem and it was because my old phone connected to the airave after my new phone was activated. I turned off the old phone and rebooted the airave and and the messages came through one last time and stopped.
Do sms(text) backup, then under settings, the applications find your sms or messaging(if by default you kept stock). After you have backed up, clear cache and either turn of phone for a minute or two, then restart or clear data, fully stop, then shut off phone and restart. See how that works! Unless there are no important text messages, then just skip backup of course!!
Cleaning Cache on its own can keep from clutter build up(dont talk to your dentist, he is no help), and restarting or shutting phone off for a couple minutes. Minimum of Two Times a Week is always a Plus Restarting Phone....is like any system build...it reconfigures or straightens things up!!

Yes Air Rave can be reset every once in awhile to do exactly the same.
its been awhile since I posted this, when it was first happening sprint said it was because there was work being done on the towers for LTE, ever since LTE has been turning on in more areas around me it has not been happening as often, I receive double text hardly at all now
I get double texts, sometimes triple from a girl on T-Mobile and my friend w/ iPhone 4 on sprint. Never from Android phones on CDMA networks.
This happens to me once in awhile. It seems like a network hiccup, it happens mostly with my wife who is on my account.
It happens to me all the time. They'll all retain the original time stamp but come in way after the original.

Resolved: Anyone having issues with Text Messaging?

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
