I know there are a few different MMS issues going around, so I thought I'd create a thread for my unique issue.
I'm using DCD's 2.2.1 rom, rebuilt to add the cricket OEM for carrier settings. This is the only change I've made.
When I get an MMS message, my phone gets the announcement, connects to the web to download the message, and after a second or two the "downloading mms message" icon just disappears. If it's set for autodisconnect, it also disconnects the data connection. Occasionally (about 1 out of 6 times) I'll get an error that simply says "cannot receive message. Try again later"...
Anyone had this issue? anyone have any idea what it might be? It has the feel of a timeout setting being wrong, but I doubt that's it.
FYI, all my server settings, my evdo settings, and my pst settings are correct. I've manually verified that everything is set up correctly.
Also FYI, this issue isn't confined to the latest DCD rom, it's happened with every GPS rom I've used.
any help/advice?
EDIT: 11:15pm 9/25/2012 - ISSUE RESOLVED, SEE BOTTOM OF POST FOR SOLUTION
Okay, relevant information first:
Evo 4G LTE on Sprint
HBOOT 1.15 S-ON HTC DevUnlock
Current ROM CM10 Nightlies
Sprint-Google Voice integrated number
Now for the issue:
Texts can not be sent through the messaging app. When attempting to send a text, it will say "sending..." for a few seconds, then I get a notification saying "message not sent". Clicking on this notification takes me to the messaging app where the failed message has a red triangle next to it. When I long press the failed message, it comes up with a menu, and when I click "view details" it says "Error Code 98".
This happens both when connected to WiFi and when not connected to WiFi. It also happens both in my home town, and another town 45 minutes away (meaning the issue doesn't seem to be with the particular tower).
The last successful text sent or received was on Sept 13th.
Calls still operate as normal.
No changes were made by me between when my SMS was working properly, and when it stopped working. (Same ROM, Recovery, Kernel, etc). I haven't downloaded any SMS apps (handscent, gosms, etc) that could be interfering with the messaging app. I DO have the Google Voice app, but I had that when SMS was working properly as well, and the GV app hasn't been updated since March (meaning it shouldn't have changed how it was behaving).
Other peculiar behavior:
In addition to not being able to send texts via the messaging app, it seems that my number is also unable to receive texts. When texts are sent to my number, my phone does not receive them and they also do not show up in my Google Voice inbox. The sender is given no notice that the text has not been received. I am able to send texts from the Google Voice app, and others successfully receive them. When I send a text to myself from the Google Voice app, I receive it in my Google Voice app, but not in the stock messaging app (even though my Google Voice app settings say that texts will be received via the messaging app).
Things I've Tried (Updated: 3pm EST, 9/25/2012 ):
* Turning it off and on again
* Updating CM10
* Changing Google Voice settings (though it's possible I overlooked a setting)
* Factory Reset, Reflash ROM
* Flash Sense ROM, Update Profile/PRL
* Flash different AOSP ROM (Paranoid Android)
Things I've Not Tried (in order of how willing I am to do the things):
* Using an alternate SMS app (GoSMS, Handscent, etc)
* Un-integrating (and Re-integrating) Google Voice
* Giving the EvoLTE a relaxing bubble bath, to calm it down
* Flash Stock, Unroot, Update Radio
So, does anyone know what might cause this problem, and/or how to resolve it?
EDIT: Solution below
STORY:
I called Sprint Support, and had them reactivate my old phone (Evo4G running a CM9 alpha), by giving them the MEID for that phone. At this point I powered the phone back on, and called an activation number that they had given me (888-546-0314). On a Sense ROM, I would have simply updated my profile, instead of calling the number. We then tried SMS on the reactivated phone, and it worked (also, texts began showing up in Google Voice again at this time). I turned off my Evo 4G LTE, then I gave him the MEID for it and had him switch my number back to that phone. After he said he had switched it, I powered the Evo 4G LTE back up, and updated the profile, which I was able to do since I was still on Viper4G (note: I had to update the profile via WiFi, it might have worked over data, but it was taking longer than expected so we cancelled and just use WiFi for the update). Once the profile had updated, I called the test number again to confirm that the phone was activated. When I tried SMS, it worked as it should, including sending a copy to Google Voice.
TL;DR:
1. Find an old phone
2. Write down the MEID of both phones
3. Find a third phone to use to call Sprint (since you'll be activating/deactivating the other phones throughout the call)
4. Call Sprint Customer Support (888-211-4727), and punch the appropriate numbers until you are talking to someone
5. Have them switch your number to the old phone's MEID. Make sure the old phone is activated.
6. Have them switch your number back to the new phone's MEID. Make sure the new phone is activated.
7. Texting should be working on your new phone again.
Notes: The old phone may not be necessary. It may be enough for the Sprint Service Rep to deactivate your phone and then reactivate it. But I figured I would write out the EXACT method that solved the problem for me, since I am positive that this method has worked at least once. I have neither the means nor the desire to recreate the problem, so I will have to leave testing of other methods to the next person that experiences this problem.
Update: Clean flash of Paranoid Android did NOT resolve the issue. Still getting "Error Code 98".
So, this tells me/us this is not an issue with CM10 (which is not surprising, since I have no idea how what ROM I have flashed would keep Google Voice from receiving the texts as well).
This may sound odd but try moving the time up an hour or back an hour, error 98 is a problem with home agent, it's a sprint network error. I don't know of anything else that's helped
Try calling sprint and ask them if they can do anything. When I went s-off I had to call them bc my calls and text had errors. Data worked though.
They pushed something that fixed it in less than 10 seconds. Just wanted me to verify my account.
I tried changing the time 1 hour forward, and 1 hour backward, neither of those resolved the issue.
On hold with the Sprint tech department (it's taking longer than 10 seconds, but hopefully they figure out how to fix it.)
EDIT:
Mini-Update: Flashed Viper4G (a sense ROM), problem persists.
Updated profile and PRL while in Viper4G, problem persists.
Was told by Sprint technical support to press ##6-digit-MSL-here# and edit something, then reboot. Did that. Problem persists.
SOLUTION
The problem has been resolved, and the OP has been edited to include the method used to solve the problem.
If this was a game, Anthonicia would win for being closest (though it took closer to 2 hours on the phone with Sprint to fix the issue, if we include all four calls I made, 20-30 minutes if we only include that final one).
Hi. I'm running CM 10.1-20130117 nightly on my Fascinate. For the most part it works great as a daily driver. The only major issue I have is I don't get voicemail notification.
It acts as if it only checks for voicemail once when it powers on.
If I have voicemail when I reboot the phone, I get the notification, and it stays on even after the message is cleared. If I reboot the phone again the notification goes away, but doesn't come back on if I receive new voicemail.
I've had this issue across multiple nightly builds. Other notifications such as email and text work correctly.
In settings, I've tried selecting and deselecting message wait indicator. Service is set to My Carrier, and voicemail number is *86. I haven't loaded any voicemail apps, and I've also cleared out all voice messages.
Can someone help me out?
This is a common issue for 4.2.2 ROMs on older Android phones. There is no known fix and I have experienced it on both a Droid Incredible and Samsung Fascinate on Page Plus (a Verizon MVNO).

Maybe you should install a voicemail app... I wouldn't go with verizon's visual voicemail since you gotta pay a monthly fee to access your messages. Go with Google Voice. It's free, easy to set up, allows access from the app/web, works with messages same as you would with emails, transcribes recordings... did i mention its free? Went with google voice a long time ago n never looked back... verizon's a joke.
I know it's an old post, but AOKP worked for me for the VM notification.
I'm using a ZTE ZMAX Pro on MetroPCS, and on top of other issues, the wifi calling is being a pain. The phone shows that it's enabled just fine, but when I try to send a text, it immediately tells me it failed. Calls don't even go through. I've tried several reboots, and obviously nothing came of it. I'm just stunned that there's no error messages, no "unable to connect," just the icon in the notification bar that says it's working. Any ideas are appreciated.
Have you registered with the e911 service?
In my experience, I turn off my data coz I am odd like that and that's when I found out I need my data on to receive text. I can send text with data off though. And actually my wifi calling on my phone REALLY works. Unlike on my samsung on5 it always have error messages so I just turn it off.
IF your phone is brand new when you bought it and did not mess with it. Although as far as I have searched there is no root on this phone yet. Then just factory reset. I factory reset mine no problem. Just remember to remove ANY account (especially google) first, before you reset to be VERY safe.
So after installing TWRP and flashing a ROM on my phone back in December, I constantly have a notification on my phone from Phone Services telling me I have one new voicemail when my inbox is empty. What's annoying is that it randomly 'refreshes' making the notification noise, so I am forced to keep it on vibrate otherwise I have to listen to that notification going off all day long. I have lived with it for the past 3 months, but have recently realized when I do get voicemails, it never updates the number it always just says one voicemail. It's really frustrating too b/c I live in a rural area where I sometimes don't have reception and if I get a call it never shows up and if they leave a voicemail I'm not notified unless I actually check it.
I have tried clearing data and cache as well as force stopping in the settings and it will automatically come back within a few minutes. I have set the Phone Services notifications to 'Don't show notifications at all', but it completely ignores it. I have tried switching to Google Voice from Sprint Voicemail and it still appears. I tried switching back to Sprint Voicemail and it's still there. I have flashed new builds of the ROM multiple times and it still shows up, usually about an hour or two after flashing. The only thing I haven't done at this point is use the LGFlashTool to completely vert back to factory which I'm avoiding because of the time/effort and the lingering feeling it still won't fix it.
Before going thru that, I was wondering if I could potentially freeze Phone Services with Ice Box and migrate to use Google Voice for voicemail. Does anyone know if this is ok or will it brick my phone?
Any input is appreciate!
UPDATE: On Wednesday I had a random reboot while using my phone and after booting back up I no longer saw the notificiation. It's been several days since then, booth rebooting the phone and using voicemail and still have not got the notification back. Only thing I have noticed is that it no longer gives a notification at all if I get a voicemail, but since I get a text alert I'm not too concerned.
Unfortunately, if somebody else encounters this same issue it's not much help on why it occurred or how to fix it....
