So me and my wife both are having problems sending texts browsing the net ect. It's very hit and miss on when it does it. So irratic that I can't pin point what's commonly causing this.
All calls work. All texts sent to us work. All calls from us work.
Sending texts out or browsing ect don't work.
Both on s4 one on the latest mk2 update and not rooted.
Other one is rooted and on the mj7 update.
Any help would be helpful
Thanks

Awesome. I've been looking for that setting and couldn't find it. Thanks
My wife's was already on lte/cdma
Mine however was on global.
Weird. So idk I guess I'll monitor the service for Tom and see what happens.
Verizon trouble shot the issue for like 1hr yesterday and 1hr today and couldn't get it figuered out. Swapped sim cards and still same issue...
So still no change. As soon as we are in our house our service starts to act up. Just started to do this about 3 days ago.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm having the same issues in Baltimore MD. I checked two devices and no service must be Verizon outages. Thank god for WiFi!

Im near columbus ohio. But it is very weird bc I'm able to text while at work. When I get home I'll have 4g and texts will fail.... :banghead:
Same issue here in Central Nj for me. I just installed hyperdrive room so I don't know anymore if its because of that or something with verizon. I can make calls, send texts ext and see full bars but no network shown.
Sounds like tower issues

Verizon confirmed an outage I experienced yesterday in Philly. I don't know if this might have been your problem.
Thanks for the post. But I think I'm still going to call Verizon again tonight just to be sure.
And this explains why I couldn't get through last night to them. I was on hold for 45 mins before I hung up.

Ok, so I haven't rooted my phone. It's completely stock. I am not receiving ANY phone calls. First it was just sending them directly to voicemail. I did a PRL update and updated my profile. Now all I get is it ringing 5 times, then goes to voicemail, but it doesn't come through to my phone.
Any ideas?
Just tried making a couple calls. Wouldn't go past "Dialing." The phone went into Roaming, and now it's making calls on Roaming... WTF!?
Lol......not again...

So this is happened before? Data is working.
Call sprint on from another phone, they'll fix it.
Try calling Sprint from another line and talk to them. For data are you on WiFi?

I'm on the phone with Tier 2 right now. I'll post results. So far, they have reset the switch from their end, and had me verify that my "Mobile Network" was turned on.
Update...
They're saying that there was a ticket created in the area this morning for an outage issue. They're saying that the domestic voice may be down, which is why I can only make calls when my phone goes into roaming. They're checking into it further.
If anyone is interested, it's over in Orlando, FL 32819
Went to lunch down the road, maybe a quarter-mile, and was able to make a phone call without a problem. It's gotta be a tower. I asked a couple people in my office and it turns out that the BlackBerry devices that everyone uses are also having the same problem in the building. Sprint was on-site yesterday looking into it. I guess they're working out at the tower today or something... Maybe taking long breaks in A/C because it's so ****ing hot outside today.
I've had the same problem with Sprint for the past month in my house. Traveling a few miles down the road (new tower) and no issue.
Sprint sent me an Airave for my house and now calls/data come through.
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.
Its anybody else receiving text messages late? Mine come in on time sometimes but when it doesn't it ranges from 7 to 40 minutes late. I know its sprint since I don't have this problem on the VZW prl. I called and they said they put out a ticket or something like that. Is this happening to anybody else?
Yeah, this happens to me occasionally, although I haven't been able to tell if It's my phone's fault or not, but I'm assuming it is, esp since you're having this issue too

Welcome to the ****ty Sprint network
The fix? Get a Verizon or ATT phone
I'm really considering it but I'm just not sure about the monthly raping I'll receive
At least youll actually be able to use the data you pay for on Verizon
I would do the same but thankfully I am in an area with Wifi most of the time so it doesnt matter that the data speed is only 40kb/s and no 4G service.
I wish my speeds were that fast smh
Google voice integration did this to me. Disabled integration and went back to normal.
Also been having problems with missing/late texts ever since i linked it to google voice.
no, but sometimes mine will come with the timestamp way later than it actually is, which is also annoying.
So sprint called me asking if I noticed any improvements, I told them to call me tomorrow so I can test it out....its the same no improvements
Yea just stay with the Verizon prl I have not left it for months

That would be an even bigger pain as you have to reboot the phone every time the prl is changed.

Been happening to me for the past three . it's irritating.
Been on the 0001 prl for the past couple of days, not a single late message
I was gonna post a thread about this too but I'll spare the clutter. This started happening to me since I flashed the latest ota with leeroid tweaks 3 days ago. I flashed the radio too. I was suspecting it was the update or radio or something... There was 1 text I got yesterday 3 hours late.

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"
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
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 am traveling and am in an area with fantastic 4G coverage. The other day I was on the phone doing an conference call and had my phone tethered to my laptop. As soon as my call connected I last all internet coverage as far as the tethering is concerned. As soon as my call ended my data kicked back in. What gives? It used to work, why does it not anymore?
Sounds like some dirty ploy on VZW 's end to restrict tethering.

You know this is a good point. I am using the widget bypass and with the recent update for the phone you get prompted about a subscription error. As I'm sure you already know you just simply hit the home button and it still stays connected and works fine. I swear I was talking to my Wife a couple days ago and it was working, to my best knowledge this just started not working as 2-3 days ago. Anyone else experience this?

Just made a quick call to 611 and let the prompting stay connected in the back ground. I then tried surfing on the phone and it worked fine, so I then tried on the laptop tethered and it seemed to work. Maybe a glitch, or maybe they are going after tethering... Hmm
Maybe its just conference calls you cant tether with.

Conference call that I was on at this time was called into one phone listening to others in the same room over speaker. I don't think this is the case.
Been on the phone for a half hour and it's working perfect. Weird!
Necro-thread! But, I realized the other day that I am having the same issue as the OP. I used to be able to continue surfing over my 4G hotspot while also talking on the phone. Somewhere along the way, the capability has stopped working. I have Unlimited Data and use FoxFi to enable tethering. And, like I said, this used to work. I've had my S4 since May, 2013, but I'm not sure when, during all that time, it stopped.
It really come to the fore today because a friend told me about Verizon Advanced Calling and I logged into my account to enable that. I noticed two things. One, the S4 is not a "compatible device", even though Samsung says the phone supports VoLTE. And, two, one of the features that VZW touts for Adanced Calling is being able to do simultaneous voice and data over 4G LTE.
This is all starting to make me think my simultaneous voice and data went away at some point when Verizon turned off the capability via a phone firmware update or something. Because, of course, they want me to buy a new phone - ideally while also giving up Unlimited Data.
That also makes me thing I might be able to "fix" my phone using SS and a ROM and maybe an Xposed module. But anyway....
Can anybody shed any light on this? I don't do it that often (talk on the phone while I'm tethered), but when I do want to do it, it dang sure sucks that it doesn't work any more!

Okay, now I really don't know what the deal is. I just tested it, sitting in my office. and, today, it's working. I have a strong 4G signal here. I called my desk phone and answered and set the handset down. I turned on FoxFi, then connected to my hotspot with my tablet. While the voice call was still connected, I had no trouble running SpeedTest on my tablet and getting 40 Mbps download.
Hmmm.... Maybe not working the other day is some other problem with my phone....
Okay, never mind...
