Phone issue or ROM? Weird problem - Sprint clueless. - Hero CDMA General

I hope someone has an idea on whats going on with my phone right now. These are the facts.
Cell phones are getting the message:
"All circuits are busy now, please try your call again later. 113b"
When they try and dial into my phone. Outgoing calls are working fine, as well as data, texting, voicemails. The only issue is CELL PHONEs which seem to be in my area code calling me.
It's making the same noise as when you make a phone call and the line has been disconnected.
Im rooted right now, running Fresh 1.1. But this started happening with hte TTG rom. I did a backup to fresh to make sure that it wasnt the ROM. It isnt.
Ive called sprint and they refreshed my profile and PRL, and did a test call from thier line, and the tech's personal cell phone, and it worked fine for them. However, my fiance's phone who is right next to me is still getting the error(she's on att), a friend of mine across town is still getting the number(he's on verizon), and my mother tried calling and got the same message and she's also on verizon. The only similarity is that their all my same area code, and that they are all cell phones. But LANLINE are working in my area. I dont know.
Things i've tried:
Restarting the phone
Pulling the batt for 60s
Doing a nandroid backup
Doing a nandroid backup from adb to insure a good backup
Updating PRL
Updating Profile
Having sprint refresh both PRL and Profile
Testing:
I've had cell phones in my area call me to getting the same message.
Have had lanlines call me in the area and they are working. Sprint lady's lanline and cellphone both worked outside of my area code.
Had a cell phone out of state call me and it worked fine.
Advice:
Sprint lady told me to go to a sprint store and have them update my PRL.
Summary:
Cellphones in my area code are not able to call my phone. Out of area code work fine calling it. I can call out everywhere. Lanlines in my area can call me fine, as well as me call them.

What? im just trying to give as much information as possible. i already said what thier suggestion is. Thats take it to a store and have them update the PRL. I dont have much faith in thier tech support so seeing if anyone with some real knowlege of how this stuff works has any ideas. Started happening randomly too, phone was working fine as far as i knew.
Ahh just saw your edit, our usernames are simlar. myke66 and mykey. similar, but different

Sorry, I don't think you will trip anyone up here that easily.
Better luck next time.

I would say something is wrong with the cell tower near you. The only time I get that message is when either a cell tower is down or a cell tower is overloaded. I wish I knew more about cell towers to explain it better.
A PRL update isn't going to help you unless you are roaming, which doesn't sound like that's the case.

In your case, it sounds like the PRI's are down or the equipment is not responding to outside calls. Have you tried getting someone that has a Sprint phone to try to contact you (besides Customer Service)?

The number i had call me from another state was a sprint phone and that worked fine. I dont think i know anyone with another sprint number in my area code.

Still sounds like a cell tower issue. What you could do to see if that's the case is to relocate the phone to another cell tower (I think cell towers have a radius of roughly 4 miles...could be wrong on that) and have someone with a cell phone call you (like your girlfriend or your mom).
If the connection completes, then the issue isn't your phone, but your cell tower.

isn't it more along the lines of 12 miles?
crap...im wrong. Cellfinder puts me at just over 4 miles direct from my tower. But I think the radius is bigger than 4, since I've got service, and there's basically 3.5+ miles of limestone in the way of the tower lol

That's why I said "I could be wrong." I think it's generally 4, but depends on a lot of factors (such as how high the cell tower is...one that is on top of a large building will have a larger radius than one closer to the ground.
Again, I could still be wrong. Maybe someone who is more familiar with cell towers can shed some light on the subject.

This has been going on since this morning. I've left my area a few times today, so im pretty sure i was outside of the one towers signal. I was a good 10-20 miles away at one point and it was doing the same thing.

well the sure way to know that it is not something that the rom did is to run the RUU to get back to bone factory stock and see if it still does it.
I highly doubt that it is a rom problem though. also have you changed any settings?
I had a problem where I changed the wireless network settings to EVDO only and that made it so I wasnt reciving calls or anything. not the same problem but could just be a settings thing.

See, thats the thing. Nothing has been changed. It worked yesterday as far as i know, but upon waking up to text messages about my phone not working, it started. First message i got about it was around 11am. I can try doing the RUU, but i doubt this is a ROM issue. Wouldnt make sense. Not to mention ive tried various roms and backups that i knew were fine.

gonna try the RUU

the thing is, if you RUU the phone and it still has the problem then there will be no issue taking it to a sprint store and having them test it and replace it. If you where to take it in with a costom rom on it then they could say that the problem has something to do with the rom and give you crap about replacing it.

true, i guess its something im going to have to do anyway. Will update thread twhen the RUU is complete and i test it

Just something of interest, there's what im assuming, an error code of some kind at the end of the "All circuits are busy right now, please try your call again later message." It completes with a male voice saying 001p or 001b, hard to understand because its staticy. Ive googled both codes to no avail.

The beginning of phreaking on cell phones.
On another note, that is a message that would be related to the service side I would think. Like that is a message that is service side based, maybe there is an issue with your phone line on sprint's part? dunno just some insight.

Help: Need help figuring if this is a phone issue or carrier issue...

Ok, I've had an 8525 unlocked for about 3 months now... Unlocked and used on t-mobile's network...
Until recently, I've had 0 issues with my phone from what I can remember(now running PDAs v20 windows 6.1 rom)
My problem is, during the day, in my room I recieve any and every phone call that comes in, calls never drop or hang up, BUT the call seems to cut out for about 5-15 seconds and then cut back in.. even though it says I have 4 bars.. in my kitchen with 4 bars, I get all my phone calls, but can't hear people (nor can they hear me at all)... I get emails, and browse the web fine.. but can't use google maps app (can't find my location until I leave lol)
I don't know what's up... at night, when I'm in my room, my phone works fine with no cutting out and in during calls, but during the day, that's when it wants to act all crazy... other t-mobile phones work perfectly fine in my room... my old sidekick also worked fine..
when I'm anywhere else in my city, my phone works fine (even with 2 bars)
I know nothing about how cell phones work when communicating with cell towers so any help someone can give me will be very helpful as I do not want to catch an aneurism calling T-Mobile themselves for help (though I doubt they'll help me since I'm using an unlocked ATT phone on their service lol)
Also... sometimes txt messages come and give me a time like it's in another time-zone... usually this happens when I'm out of state roaming on a different network (Immix in central PA for the most part) but now it seems to be popping up even while I'm home in NY...
any ideas?
seems like some kind of interference near your home...could be a carrier tower or even your TV? You could check with tmob if others in the hood are having day issues...
not sure what radio version u have, but u could try flashing a different one...
I've tried numerous radio's but having the same issues... it's some kind of interference in my house I guess.. I just can't figure out what it is... I called up t-mobile and was embarassed when he said "oh u have an ATT phone" lol he told me to switch sim cards with someone else on t-mobile in my home to see what happened... but.. no progress... I unplugged my wifi router to see if that would help but it didn't
I just find it completely odd that my service craps out on me in my room ONLY during the day... and it never did this when I first got the phone.. I'm completely lost... good news is, it only happens in my house...
Could be someone close by has just invested in a piece of equipment that is causing interference.. Might not be just in your place...
yeah, another thing that MIGHT be causing the interference is that they have been doing a lot of road work in my area... that could also be why it happens during the day but not at night... my kitchen is a different story, but different radio's have gave me different reception... with some radio's... it fades out completely and with others it'll fade out for maybe a second or 2
or it could be my neighbor who recently had a stroke, I guess there might be some machines in there.. who knows
I tried the latest radio and it yielded the best results in my kitchen so far but man oh man does it burn battery when I'm on the phone
I'm having the same problem...well as far as the text msgs go so i called tmobile last night and they took me off the network and placed me back on and since then I havent had any problems
Update: I put my GF's att sim card in my phone and went to all my "dead spots"... even when the signal bars were down to almost 0, the quality of the call was still clear and it wouldn't fade in and out during a call... Does anyone know if there's anything T-Mobile can do? Because I tried my moms sim card in my phone (t-mobile) and gave me the same crappy results (calls fading in and out at full 4 bar signal)

Story time...

Hey guys(gals),
I have an interesting dilemma. I have had 5 hero's in a month. One was defective hardware (so we can rule that out, it was the green phone button) but the other 3 have had an interesting issue. I will have the phone for about 4 days (this is with stock android, and two rooted with MoDoCo) and then all data ( including texts, voicemails, incoming calls) will stop. They only way to retrieve said data is to make an outgoing call, then everything floods in. The local sprint store keeps replacing the phone, but I refuse to believe that I am that unlucky. Any thoughts? Anyone having a similar issue?

Do you have a significant other that could use your phone on their plan for a few days to rule out your account specifically?
Your issues sound strange, and not related to the phone. It's hard for me to believe (like you also) that its the phone since you've had four of them now with the same issue. Also, you've tried different roms, so that also makes it more difficult to be a phone issue. Are you just running a bone stock one? Or are you installing particular apps? you might see if you can't replicate it with no additional software for a few days.
@kmart
My Father and I are on the the same plan, (i.e. both on unl.) so that rules out service. The last phone, (no. 4) I left bone stock. No extra apps (except for Handcent SMS [ on a side note, I have run both ChompSMS and Handcent, so I do not think it is either]) and it still had the same exact issues.

Sounds like a problem with you account's provisioning or something. Mostly, it just sounds like a huge pain in the ass.

I had this exact same issue with my phone, it is definitely an account issue, get your msl number from them, mine was fixed after I did a ##786# menu then reset
they disabled texts and reenabled them on my account before they did this, and then they worked ever since
Have you changed your mode of operation setting? I haven't ever changed this but had a co-worker who changed it on his hero and it stopped getting text messages and voicemails until he made a phone call, once he changed it back it started working fine. Mode of operation needs to be set to Hybrid. You can find it under Settings->Wireless Controls->Mobile Network Settings. Hope this helps
Hey guys,
Thanks for the help, so no dice. I have left my Mode of Ops. in Hybrid (although, if you leave it on Ev-do is is kosher) and doing a reset does not work...It is a huge pain in the arse....
Well sh*t. I thought the last phone was the key, but here we go again. I got my MSL and did a reset, no dice, got Another phone....phone No. 6...Sprint has no idea what the hell is going on. Personally, I think something in the phone is crashing software. I have no idea what could be, but wtf.
I've had similar issues before. It's definitely an account issue - not on your billing account, but your specific phone number in the carrier's system.
What I did was fight for months with Sprint, kept talking to retarded tech support reps who know absolutely nothing, fighting with their managers, fighting with their 2nd and 3rd level tiers, and been told 1000 times my issue was fixed, just to have it reoccur in a month.
Honestly, unless you feel like fighting like that, I suggest you call your carrier and ask for a new number. When they create a new number for you, your account is practically changed, and everything will work like new. You just have to suffer with a new number, which is only annoying for a month or so until everyone updates to your new number.
Good luck man, I hate when that kinda crap happens. Not so much because of the issue, but mainly because no carrier has any sort of good tech support and would rather hang up on you than try and troubleshoot anything. They're completely stupid.
Well, to be honest, I have to keep this number, it is my business number..So, what I am going to do is keep going to into the headquarters store here in omaha. Then. Once I get to about phone no.7/8/9 I am going to call sprint retention services. At that point I will have 7/8/9 phones on record, and they will fix it and give me the 3 months free, or I will walk. I like sprint better than others around here, but damn I am getting pissed...

Yeah dude. I was pissed too. Good luck man, I know how you feel. Sprint is great, but when they f**k up they really f**k up and it's a pain in the ass to get things fixed.
27s, this isn't a retention issue, this is a Tier 3 tech support issue. They need to go into your account and completely deconstruct it, and put it back together again. Basically, it's a glitch in the system causing your provisioning to bork itself. I've seen it before, and yes, it's a pain in the ass to fix, but if you get a caring/dedicated tech, it's not even close to impossible.
Frankly, call into sprint, get on the line for tech support. As soon as you connect, ask for ADVANCED tech support. Don't give up until you're on the line with them. They'll be your saviors in this issue, mark my words.
Edit: For the record, I'm a former Sprint tech. I've had to do this before for customers, so I've had experience in the issue.
Hey thanks for the advice....I will do this first thing tomorrow....I don't suppose retention will give me anything will they....The sprint store in omaha is like 100 blocks from my house....gas$$$...haha

Getting message failed but message keeps sending [asop mms / airrave]

So lately I have ran 2 different roms and at certain times i will send an sms message, and the phone will say "message sent failed", but the person says they get the message and my phone keeps trying to send the message and going through but says failed on my end
anyone else have this issue?
I have narrowed it down to probably asop mms apk or my airrave

I had the same thing happen the other day. I'm running Fresh 3.2, Handcent and I have an Airave. I think the Airave is the problem.
Yah I have the same exact problem....I have the new airvana airave....
This doesn't happen all the time...its just sometimes....although I cant pinpoint how or when it happens...
Its happening right now though...which sucks...
Same here, Sprint AirAve, Failed messages etc.
What to do??
Ok, I just called airave support and they ran me through the basic tests like testing my broadband connection and resetting my airave device. I've done this before so I'm pretty damn sure this wont help.
They did mention for the about two weeks Sprint has had a lot of airave outages and that Sprint is working on fixing it.
Ok here is a bad update:
So my problem still exists and I called up Sprint again. They go through factory resetting my phone (not sure what this means...since I am rooted with Ava ROM 9)....so I go through with the reset and they re-provision my phone (I think they changed the msid number or something else). Then they also did something to the airave... My phone still works but the airave doesn't. I can now, no longer make a call through the airave.
The Sprint tech support agent put in a ticket and would call me back tomorrow.....lets hope this gets fixed tomorrow.
I have also had this happen to me several times and I am totally stock. So if anyone gets an answer, let us all know. Thanks.
I would get this error when trying to send a message with content larger than 2mb, I have since upgraded my zone rom that allows for 5mb and my problem is gone.

Ok, but an average text message is not 2mb....
Ok, so they call back to get it fixed today....now when I turn on my Airvana unit and let it initialize the mobile light blinks amber, and the gps light blinks green as if it cant get a gps lock.
The tech support specialist again mentioned there was an airave outage.
There are also a few people on the sprint.com community site that are experiencing the same issues.... although I'm not sure if they are using evos or some other phone.

I've got an airave (newest model) unit with 2 EVOs in the home. My girlfriend constantly experiences this and she is running bone stock. I've got a stock rom rooted and have never experienced this problem. We've narrowed it down to the airave - she also has issues were sometimes an incoming call will not receive on her phone if she is already on it (call waiting).
Seems to me like these airave unit are having lots of problems... I ended up disconnecting mine and both phones act normal.
Ever since I got the NEW airvana this started happening to me, it only happens when im sending multiple sms to one person or multiple people. Says it cant send, but person im sending to says they get that message that isnt being sent like 20-100 times, the quick fix is a reboot of the phone. I got sick of it and last week called airave support and they opened a ticket which was monday last week. Called back thursday night b/c the modem light wont stop blinking and they told me there was a national outage on the new airvanas so she said by the next day everything should be resolved even the issue with the sms not sending.
Today is sunday and im not getting the issue anymore but i will keep texting heavy and see whats going on. although I gotta say sprint did give me a good return on my bill for this
Ok, I called airave tech support again and they said that the outage in my area should be fixed by 12am tomorrow....so I'll wait till tomorrow morning and see if it works again.
Ok, well the blinking amber "mobile" light is now a solid green....which I guess means the device is working....but when my EVO is connected and I try to make a phone call out it gives me the message "if you would like to make a collect call....." and if I try to send a text it just fails.
I called up Sprint again, they make me run through more tests with my phone...even one weird one where I had to disconnect the battery and hold the phone and the battery right next to the airave.....not sure what effect this has to fixing anything....but w/e I had spare time to waste . They did mention again that there was an airave outage. They tell me to reboot the airave and to let it sit for 2-4 hours since its going to re-provision....so thats what I am waiting for now.
idk, if this is related, but I have the same issue with sending texts in google voice. Although for me, I have the issue randomly when connected to a regular cell tower.
Ok another update....its really the same as my previous update.
So bascally the sprint tech never called me bac....so I called them back and got a different rep....the new rep goes through the same steps to get everything to work but still no luck. I still get the same error when I make a phone call. She did mention that there is a nationwide outage with voice calls with the airave and that 50% of customers are not able to make voice calls.
I am now using a samsung epic and I'm still having problems. So its not the evo or the epic with the issue, it has to be my number and/or (most likely) the airave and its service.
The funny thing is I have another line with a samsung a900 phone and I can make calls with that phone without any issues through the airave.
Ok, my airvana unit still doesn't work. Anyone else have a working Airvana unit..???
This is pretty horrible its been more than a week where my Airvana unit will not make phone calls....

I am also having loads of Airave (Airvana model) issues, on all 4 lines in my house... failed texts.. and calls.. etc.. I usually keep it unplugged now, and turn it on once a week to see if the issues have been fixed... Sux because when it works, it works AWESOME... But I have lots of friends and family who have gotten 20 or 30 texts from me at once.. It kinda makes me giggle, but it would suck if they were paying for them..
I also am expirencing the same problems as you all on brand new the new model (airvana?) its really annoying!
Running: GM6 final, nightlys, and Fresh seems to happen on all of them
I made numerous calls to airave tech and made like 4 tickets with them. Finally an engineer called me and asked me specifically when I'm getting the issue and what is the issue. I explained and for some reason these last week or so all my texts have been going thru smooth and no error clause codes, or unable to send message errors of any sort. I'm hoping they fixed the issue, I advise everyone that is having this issue to call them and attack them with phone calls.
Here's the direct number to airave support: 866-556-7310 call them and attack people its the only way they will fix it

MikG INC 3.0 ROM on roaming

I had downloaded 1 of Mik's roms a while back (version 2.0.1 to be exact) and saw this 3.0 as his latest work on his website so figured I would give it a try. I see that he is aware that there are still remnants of this ROM that was made for Sprint EVO devices apparently, but I'm having a unique issue.
Whenever I attempt to make a call it alerts me that I am in roaming mode (which I double checked and i have it checked OFF so my DINC will dont roam) and if I would like to continue anyway. When my lock screen comes up it says "Verizon Network" on top and I am receiving and able to send text messages just fine. I have not seen anyone else having this issue in the forums and the last thing I want is to receive a higher bill from Verizon at the end of the month because of a new ROM. Also, the alert is simply annoying.
Please help.

Sounds like you need to update your prl. You do this by dialing *228 and selecting option 2.
I forgot to mention that that's the first thing I did. I even accepted the alert and went with it anyway knowing it wouldn't take but a minute. It programmed the phone successfully.
Still occuring obviously.

Hmm not sure then. I know sprint ported roms tend to be touchy on the verizon network. I gave up on using them after synergy rom awile back, because my data connection would constantly break, requiring a compleete ruu and factory reset to get it working again. Just flashing a new rom wouldnt fix it.
Have you tried flashing the .0808 evo radio. I know it works on the incredible and mabey since its a sprint ported rom the evo radio would work better, or mabey not just a sugestion.
Its in call settings or wireless and networks. It's called roam guard. Unchecked it and you'll be fine.

I actually had to turn ON data roaming to check off Data Roam Guard. It didn't work. But out of desperation I checked OFF Call Guard and that fixed it. Maybe that's the option that you meant. Either way, the alert has stopped and my outgoing calls no longer give me that message while I have roaming OFF.
Thanks for the replies.

Doing this on sprint ROMs have a tendency to break data. I don't recommend doing this. Also other development don't recommend it either. If you start having data issues, you may need to go back to stock, redo *228, the reflash what you want. I'm currently running my port of MikG 3.0 and have not had the warning. I did what you have done and its fine. I've made sure that the NETWORK thinks we are in fact Verizon, but the ROM somehow thinks we are Sprint.

Yes. Sorry. That's what I meant, my girlfriend had more attention at the time then my phone. We all know where that goes.

Has anyone noticed they are getting more busy signals than normal?

I seem to be getting busy signals to local numbers more often than not. Anyone experience this at all using the new radio?
Mine seems to working well.
I had no service in my back yard and only way to get service back was to reboot. idk if that helps any
No issue

Maybe a bunch of people decided to block your calls?

Mine is working great
VICODAN i am still using 1.07.00.1129 and have not noticed any changes. but i also keep about 100 prl's on my sd to swap at will in case of a prob all joking aside maybe try setting the phone to no roam to be sure you are on a sprint tower and doing an RTN reset to freshin' up a bit then try a couple different prl's?
doubt that helps but i figured it could not hurt to give input
cheers,

Yeah I think it's just my phone. Sprint told me to dial *740 and *720 or something and update my profile. Thanks
just FYI, not sure what *720 does but i just error that call cant be dialed, but *740 i dial'd and monitored the data flow. right when i dial it there is a peek at about 2KB outgoing and then right after jumps to like 12KB incoming then dies down.
its downloading something, lol
cheers,
disco
Fixed this by updating profile and PRL.
