Is it my Phone or Service?

I have the touch vogue from sprint and all of a sudden a week or two ago I can't seem to receive calls or text out. I can receive text, voice mail, use internet and call out though. It takes a long time to receive the text, some times hours from the time it was sent. I tried calling from my house phone and it will ring a couple times but the cell phone will not respond. I was using WhosDaMan Rom then flashed to NSFAN Rom to see if that would fix the problem and I usually use the Android Linux builds as well. Thanks to some suggestions I also tried to go back to the original Sprint stock rom and still have the same issues. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Sounds kinda serious. I'd load up the Sprint ROM and re-lock your phone (don't ask me how, I've never done it), then call Sprint. I would be inclined to think it's the phone, but who knows.

Yeah, I Reloaded the Sprint Rom but never relocked it. Thanks for your reply though.

SMS not sending.

Sometimes at random the phone will stop allowing texts to be sent, on various contacts.
I think this isn't a problem with the phone but the Android software, i have signal and its connected to 3G, sometimes HSPA. However will repeatedly not send a text.
If i just reboot the phone it'll work fine. However can get this problem later on again. Its as if the software cant handle sending a certain amount of texts per 10 minutes or something?
Anyone else had this problem.
Rooted & CM Beta5, however done it OTB.

I've never had a problem sending or receiving txt.
I'm on stock rom though

I'm on the stock rom aswell and i've been having that problem lately too, i was hoping i wasnt the only one.

Seems a problem http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f10/text-messages-not-sending-4534/

I'd like to second this. I was trying to send a bunch of messages the other night and had to keep rebooting my N1 to get them to start sending again. Then it would stop sending, and I'd reboot again... worrying. I was using Handcent though.

I use the standard SMS application.

Stock ROM. Only fix is a reboot for me.

Same with me. Happens every once in awhile. Reboot is the only thing that fixes the problem for me. It has not happened since I rooted my phone and flashed cyanogen's rom

1 time, i gaveup and couldnt be bothered to reboot the phone. Went to sleep, wokeup an tried in the morning an it worked fine.
Maybe a buffer issue or something like its full due to sending a high ammount of messages very quickly?

Happened to me twice on CM 5.0.2.

Ive had it over a dozen times, hence the thread

Ok,
So ive got the problem again! has occured at 2pm GMT. Have 4bars H signal.
Not going to reboot the phone just wait see how long it takes.
Surely more people are having this problem?

I'm using Enoms TheOfficial and I haven't ever had a problem. I text more than anybody I know too. [3k per month]
Maybe your local network or something. I'm in Dallas, Texas

It did it on STOCK Rom and Cyanogens Rom too. I send maybe the same ammount too!
Not the network as here in UK i am T-Mobile and other people on T-Mobile can text me when there stood 1ft away. My mates works and he has a Nexus on T-Mobile too.
We both own Sim-Free mobiles bought direct from Google and Delivered at the same time.

I say handcent is the problem

It's not handcent as it's happening with the stock messaging app also.

I also have the problem, usually around the same time, but i send anywhere from 7k to 10k a month... maybe tmobile is trying to limit my data?!?!

Mine still does it purhaps few times a week.

use a task killer (lately i have been favoring task panel), then restart your messaging app. you don't have to reboot.

I had an old sim card and had the same problem and got a replacement from tmobile and everything is fine now.

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

Cannot hear other person during call?

So usually after the phone has been in my pocket a bit, if I try to make a call, the screen and everything looks normal, but I hear no ringing. I don't know if it is actually going through but I doubt it.
Hang up, call right back... the phone starts ringing as normal.
I do this more and more often lately. Have to call everyone twice.
Has anyone else ever had this?
I've had this happen on several different ROMs, and I've been using 2.2 since it was publicly available.

same thing is happening to me, figured it was one of the bugs with dk28, hoping the official release will fix this annoyance

+1 same bug---same hope

I've been having it at least since DK17, maybe earlier.

I have the same problem.

Same problem as soon as I installed DK28. Hopefully they have these kinks worked out in the final release.

had this same problem from long ago. but i heard it was part of the delay for then the call is being sent 2 the tower... or something along those lines

Also intermittently having this issue, but it happened with my previous, non-android phone, too. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't the phone or its software.

I'd believe it was the network easier if hanging up and calling back didn't fix it...

Same problem. When I try the first time and hear nothing, no ringing or anything, the person Im calling says their phone rang and they answered it but heard nothing.

I've had this happen also.

So why is this not widely discussed? Did everyone think it was just them? I know that's how I felt...
This is a pretty serious issue. Is anyone on stock ROM?

i have this same issue and it only started happening once i flashed froyo. quantum rom. i dont think this was happening on eclair from what i remember but also people do say their phone rings. this is kinda annoying.

I'm using Quantum, too...

this started happening to me right when I installed DK28.

I had this issue too when I installed DK28.
I just flashed back to DI18 cause it was driving me nuts.
But one thing I found was that if you turn the speaker phone on then off, your good to go.

Have this problem. I have froyo, didn't happen on DK18.

Same here. By the way...I've also had a failed audio issue on voice dialing as well. First call the receving part can never hear me. I have to hang up and call right back manually.

Omg I thought I was crazy! Its been doing this since dk17. It only happens when I call businesses though :/

Okay, this just happened to me on my new flash of Cyanogenmod. So it's either a radio or "didn't wipe cache enough times" problem, right?

MMS issue after gingerbread update

Has anyone else had issues with sending/receiving MMS since the gingerbread update? I have been unable to send/receive for the past 2 days and the update is the only thing that i can think of that may be causing the issue.
Any help would be great!!!! THANKS!!!!

I can't receive
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I'm Running stock with no root its working fine.

ive been having that issue with all gingerbread related ROMs that ive flashed and around 1 AM i start getting 1x instead of 3g and it makes messages forever to send and recieve

my mms take at least 30 minutes to send and 10 to receive

Not sure if this is an EVO issue, more so than a Sprint issue (On Sprint Android phones at least). I have had 2 different Android phones before the EVO which were stock, and have a daughter and wife that both have stock Android phones on Sprint. I have never seen proof that more than 1 in 4 of any MMS messages have ever been received successfully (to family members on Sprint). And I can't count the number of times someone has mentioned sending me a "picture" that I never received.
When I switched to the EVO (even before rooting and going to CM7 -- and even more so after) -- this trend did not change for the better. Sent 5 pictures yesterday to 3 family members (all on Sprint with stock Android phones), with not a one of them ever showing up on the other end.

I haven't been able to send or receive MMS since last week. I'm wondering if it has to do with the new radios because is started around the time that I upgraded them.
I've also noticed that my phone doesn't sync my inboxes through my HTC mail app anymore. It doesn't sync the Friends Stream widget, either. I have to do it manually.
Edit: I went back to Myn's 2.2 rom but left the newer radios on. I'm almost done downloading the lastest Synergy nightly and I'm going to try MMS with that rom and see if anything changes. I'll provide an update later. Although I will say my phone was acting up when this happened and I had to call Sprint because I lost all 3G connectivity. After 4 phones call to Sprint, one was able to get my 3G working again but my MMS or sync stopped working afterwards and I just haven't had time to call Sprint again.
Edit: Using a 2.3 based rom did not fix my MMS issues. I still can't send or receive them. I guess I'm going to have to get on the phone with Sprint again. Fantastic.

I am also having this problem since June 5. I updated me and the misses evo Saturday night and was getting text but my phone was getting low space notifications 5x on Sunday so I did a factory reset and now I cannot receive text messages. I can send them out but not receive. Called Sprint tech support on Monday was in the Sprint store on Tuesday from 10am to 2:30pm and no fix an e ticket was put in on Monday for me to have the phone replaced. The store didn't have any evo's in stock how crazy is that. Today is Friday and still no new phone. I called Tuesday afternoon to tell tech support what was going on spoke to 11 different people order was put in for a new phone.
Now today my phone is dropping calls after 5 mins of talking and a really bad echo can be heard. The misses phone is working perfectly no problems what so ever.

I send and recieve just fine, but it does take forever to go through, sometimes up to an hour. I am running stock IT'S 2.3.3, but it was that way under Froyo with the old PRL, too.

Ok, after going through a bunch of forums I got mine to work.
First thing I did was go into ROM Manager and fixed permissions then rebooted.
Try that, if that doesnt work then also try
Use root explorer, and make sure it is set to R/W mode (read/write). Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and delete that file, then restart your phone. After the restart, you should be able to send and receive MMS messages.
I did both and now I can send and receive on my phone and my wifes phone.
She is running OMJ 2.3.3 and Im running MikRom 1.03.

With mine, I can't download while wifi is on. Might be a setting I'm not aware of, as I've never had this problem before. Searched and couldn't find anything.

I was havin the same problems called sprint and thier answer was wait till we send out a MR thats all they could say. I wiped everything and. Seems to work now but still some issues. Call sprint and let them know couse the rep did say they have to hear about from more than one person to start lookin at issue
