I am assuming this is a Sprint network issue but I thought I would check here first. For the past few days when I send texts my recipients aren't receiving them for hours even as long as 2 days. My brother is also experiencing this with his 3d. All this a couple weeks after I wasn't receiving texts from users of other carriers. These network issues are are killing me. I cannot find any answers from sprint does anyone know where or who to address these problems? Or fixes or upgrades to their network that they may have in the works?

I've had this problem over the last few days. Not only do I receive the texts days after they were sent, but I've gotten duplicates, each with separate date/time stamps. I'm guessing it has to do with roaming in/out of data coverage, but not sure.

Roaming in and out of coverage would make sense.
It happened to me once. I rebooted and got 27 messages

I've noticed it happening to a lot of my friends the past few days, not just on the photo. Sprint may have been experiencing a hiccup, yesterday was horrible but today seems to have cleared everything up.

I was having the same problem. Could receive but not send. I deleted Gosms and everything was working again.

Sprint network issue is normally the cause. Search your areas listings and i bet there was some outage or something they were working on.
I have seen this behavior across many phones and networks so it would be hard to me to think its down to the phone.
If you continue to see the same issues, see if they can reprovision your phone. I remember phones always acting up on me when id switch around to new phones. id also go ahead and make sure your phone is up to date with everything and then giver her a good ole restart. Honestly, a restart is one of the healthiest things for many electronics. just like takin a shower in the morning, it gives a new good fresh start.
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 am also having the exact same problem. I have tried playing with all the mobile settings and updating prl without success. This issue is intermitent. Also, I am periodically getting the unable to detect time/timezone message.
I am about to call Sprint, but was hoping to find a solution here. Please let me know what you find out.

I have the same problem and I called Sprint and they told me they were having issues everywhere they are doing Network Vision upgrades cuz of towers being taken offline for the changes so you may be getting some of that

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!
so within the last 2 months my wife couldn't call me from work where she could before this happened. I called sprint and they found nothing wrong. A little back ground, I was rooted, and my number is google ported. when she called me from work she was routed to VM and i never got the said VM. The call was lost. so after a long time with her having to text me to call her i deleted the contact i had for the main trunk # for her work and now all calls come through No Problem so if your getting "lost calls" delete the contact and poof calls are back

it's strange. i have GSM phone and i'd never experienced this kind of problem.
Welcome to Sprint. I have dropped over 60% of all my calls in the past 6 months.... and I have at least 5/6 bars anywhere I go.
I've noticed on a few occasions, that if I am on a long call, at exactly 180min, then call will get disconnected and I'll have to call back. Has anyone else noticed this? I am on AT&T, not sure if that is related to the carrier.

I had previous experience not in us where call gets disconnected every hour
