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.

Anyone else just get a text from Tmo about an update?

I just got a text from Tmo about an update for my HD2. Anyone else get this?

Yes, there is a thread about this exact same thing on here already.

its the same update they had 3 weeks ago.

Thats what I was thinking. Thanks. Just thought it was strange it just came through now.

Im guessing they delayed the txt to give those in the know the chance to get it before the server is brought to its knees a 2nd time when the mass public starts downloading it

So SHOULD the masses downlaod and install this update? Is it worth having? And having to re-install everything?

I have applied and after i had freezes and had slow response time for most apps. I then did a hard reset which seems to have helped, running strong for a few days. Is it worth it? Not sure, but i do like the new Swype and the freezing i was getting on messages on the previous ROM is gone.

Interestingly, though I downloaded and installed the original 2.13 ROM offered a couple weeks ago on Tmo's website, I got the same txt today. When I downloaded the update 2 weeks back, it asked for my IMEI number. I thought this txt msg would only be sent to those whose IME's weren't already submitted, but having gotten the same text today has me thinking if I should re-download and install the update?

LOL I just got the text message too, as I was reading this thread
I'd downloaded the originial release, and then the re-release too, and had put in my IMEI each time. So, I believe these text messages are just going out to anybody who has an HD2 as the device attached to their number (you can verify which device is listed with your number by checking tmo's website).

[Q] Error sending/receiving MMS "National access coverage not available."

Hello,
Lately I have been unable to send or receive text messages that contain pictures or videos. The error message is always the same "National access coverage not available."
I called Verizon, on Thursday of last week (1-13), and the technician was unable to figure out the problem. He escalated it to the next level and said that someone would be contacting me in a day or 2. Well it's now Wednesday (1-19) of the following week and so far, nothing!
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what's the fix? Any help would be appreciated, especially since Verizon has been no help at all!
I'm using a Moto Droid2 ver, 2.3.2 Rooted and OC'd @ 2.25Ghz
Thanks,
Scott

Dial *228 and update your PRL.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I updated it waited the 15 minutes. When it didn't work I rebooted the phone figuring maybe it needed to be refreshed or something, (long time windows tech, reboot fixes everything!) but still nothing. Just that same message.

I get the exact same error when sending or receiving MMS 50 percent of the time with the first initial try... *228 does not fix this.. verizon cannot fix it either...

OK, got tired of waiting for Verizon to call back. On the phone with 2nd tier support now for about the last hour, so far nothing.

Mine started doing that on mms after using juice defender app and I had to do a factory reset to fix it.

OK, got finished with the Verizon tech, who was very helpful, but we still could not resolve the issue.
She removed and reloaded my data from the server, switched me to another IP address and did a few other behind the scenes things but nothing worked. She suggested doing the factory reset, but I'm ready to give up troubleshooting this issue yet. If all else fails, then I guess I will have no other option.
Since sending MM text's in not a huge part of what I use my phone for, I may just wait for the next release of the software and hope that fixes it.
In the mean time I'll just keep playing with settings and searching Google and the message boards in the hope that someone can come up with a fix that doesn't involve having to wipe it.

I used to use that app, but removed it long before this started happening. I wonder if it left behind some orphan files that are somehow in there wreaking havoc?
Since the problem still existed even running the phone in safe mode, I would think that would not be the case, but anythings possible.

my phone does the same thing with same message... if i try again to download message it will usually come through, but if it happens on outgoing message it will never go through

That's the thing. Since so many people are having the same or similar issue, I just find it hard to believe it's not something on Verizon's side or with their software. This many people screwing up their phone's in the exact same way all around the same time just seem a little suspect to me.

Mine happened 6 months ago. Just reset it and see what happens. All your apps with reinstall by themselves.

Yeah, I guess I'm going to have to try something. I want to make a nandroid backup first just to be safe and then I'll give it a shot.
Thanks.

This is great!
So, I just finished the factory reset (which DID fix the problem) and was starting to configure all my custom settings when the Verizon tech I spoke with called me back. She said that she had just spoken to Motorola and they said it was a known problem with their phones! They are not sure what it is yet, but they are working on it. In the mean time, the only thing they can suggest is to reset the phone as a work around!
I asked the Verizon tech if there was any kind of documentation about this that she could send me, but of course there isn't. And there's also nothing on the Motorola site about the error either, at least nothing I could find.
While it doesn't make the situation go away, it does make me feel better knowing what the root of the problem is, sort of. Only problem is, there is no guarantee that it won't happen again.

i turn airplane mode on then off... works for me

Im having the same problem. I even reflashed to stock motorola, still does it. I noticed if i hold down on failed pics or tap download a few times it works. The problem seems to be triggering the data on and off from the send button.

Yes, I had heard that worked for some people, and I did try that but it still didn't work. Even so, that would only be a work around and not really fixing the issue.

Interesting, since I did the factory rest I haven't had a problem. If it happens again, I'll be sure to check that.

Phone contact lag

Hi,
My wife has got a GS4 a couple of month ago and she has been complaining a lot about how long it takes when she tries to reach the phone´s contacts. She showed it to me and it some times it can take up to 10 seconds or more before the contacts show up. Any idea how to fix this? I never notice this on my GS4 but I use a launcher, which my wife doesn´t want to do.

Come on, nobody??

Check its updated to the latest. Wipe the cache partition... if still not resolved to a full wipe. Or last.. reflash
