Sms problems - EVO 4G General

So lately past two days I all of a sudden get 2 txts from gf and the timestamp on the first txt is a earlier time then when I actually got the txt? Anyone know why that happens.. I had 1 bar the whole time.. Doesnt happen all the time but sucks..
sent from my Evo

She just txted me... 15 min diff on the timestamp to when I actually got the txt... Then was getting them right away after.. ? Might go to sprint today..
Edit: sprint rep said ita know dor htc phones to do this.. This just startes to happen.. Even 3g isnt always on.. He said they are coming out with a dix soon.. My tp2 also did this but not till 3 months of using it.. And only seems to happen with only my gf but she is the only one I txt so im not sure... She has bars and I usually do.. Atleast 1..
sent from my Evo

My timestamps mess up when I roam to verizon towers. They might have different timestamps for their messages. not that I'd actually know though if this us what actually happens.

Weird SMS issue, possibly on Sprint's side?

I'm thinking this is a Sprint issue, but...
About 30 minutes ago, I started getting flooded with SMS notifications. Every SMS I've gotten in the past 24 hours is now showing up as unread - some with the original timestamp, some with a new timestamp. It finally stopped a couple of minutes ago... for now.
Not a fun way to wake up.
same here!!!
in San Diego and i got a couple also
ps..people are also receiving ur texts as well!!!..its making me look stupid!
Oh...yes I remember this use to be an issue with the OG droid after an update its happened on various different phones as well as carriers unfortunately I can't remember what the fix was.. dang.

What are the txts saying? Random stuff you txt that where already on your phones?
Sent from my ComBadge..
Yeah, my phone apparently sent out several txt's as well to people at 4am. It updated at 11pm last night. So far I pissed off 3 people because of it and I didn't even do anything! Grumble grumble grumble...

And this isn't the first time this has happened. A few weeks ago, I got 38 text messages and 2 voicemails in a matter of minutes, roughly around 4 am. I don't really remember the time because I was passed out drunk.
any airave users in here? i have this problem intermittenly and sprint always blames it on my airave.

Im in the Chicago area and the same thing happened to me....I was like "WTF is texting me at 4 in the morning!?" I received 6 text messages that had been sent the DAY BEFORE! They all had proper time/date stamps on them....
I am truly fed up with sprints poor service and excuses, like the one person mentioned above....Sprint got a whole lotta nerve blaiming the AIRAVE for any of our problems (as if they have nothing to do with the device...LMAO). Its bad enough that they are PIGGY BACKING off of our internet (which we pay for) to make up for their lack of a cellular signal (which we also pay for).
Never had ANY of these problems when I was with us cellular....the only reason I left was because I am a GADGET WHORE and us cellulars phones SUCK DONKEY BALLS! Its a shame too because I had me eye set on that new Kyocera Echo.....
But I cant take the dropped calls and poor service any more. (It sucks having to APOLOGIZE constantly to my friends, family and business associates for missing their calls and messages)
I was having the same issue messages failing to go through and.then being.bombarded with already read messages thought it was my phone but guess it was a network issue

Same sort of issues for me, too. I've had a lot of people angry at me for waking them up from a picture or text that I "sent" at a time when I myself wasn't conscious...
With me, it happens more often with pictures than texts. People are still getting St. Patty's Day pictures from me that they've already received and have been receiving since that night.
I don't know what's at fault, but I'm on EB13 OTA and I don't remember this kind of stuff happening before that. I also sometimes have problems getting sms to send since that update.
Same thing in metro detroit. Got a bunch of texts around 4

I haven't sent our received any old texts, but current texts are showing up on my wifes phone as way off on the time stamp. She gets them right after I send them.

cant send or recive texts- apparently a sprint issue

3 people including myself cant send of receive test msgs.
when i try to send one i get the msg "sprint the recipient you are sending to has chosen not to recieve messages. msg2111"
i googled this and came up with old out dated info
anyone else having issues
btw all three phones are android, one is a evo the other 2 are samsungs, i think and we are not on the same plan. but we are all on sprint.
That's the message you get when someone either has all incoming text messages blocked or has your specific number blocked from texting them.
There's a network issue right now. None of my lines can text each other.
very strange, my gf is having the same issue and so is her daughter.
also, the last couple of days no one has been respoding to my texts, i either am a looser or theres somehing goin on with sprint. or a little bit of both.
i think its sprint becasue my gf wouldnt know how to block texts and i get the same msg when i try to text myself.
of course its too late now for me to try to text a non sprint user or have a non sprint user text me.
106am update: my gf just called sprint and apparently there was some little pre recorded msg saying something about text service being temporaily down
Same here all 3 of my lines can't text each other but can text other non-sprint numbers

Well I hope sprint fixes your problem and give you guys something for there errors. They gave me 50$ because one of the sprint Rep made a mistake on my monthly bills. You guys have to open your mouth.

You can pretend all day long that other carriers don't have issues...but they do. Plenty.
Same here in Ohio.. Must be a nationwide thing.. I can't text anyone no matter what service they use.. Can't even BAL my bank for balance. Amazing how it worked at like Midnight with no problems, now it's down.

Just talked to customer service. It is pretty much nationwide, and get this..... HE SAID IT COULD BE DOWN FOR 48 HOURS!
Ugh

insanely bad service?

I've been having INSANELY bad service lately and I get mixed responses from people I know around here with sprint. I've experienced it on the EF02 modem, DK28, EC05, and am currently on EB13. This crap has been going on for about a week now. Anyone else experience this?
I'm running syndicate 1.2 right now.
Wait a few more days. They might be upgrading the local speed.
any way to know for sure? wouldnt they send out a notice letting customers know?
Whats your location?

Two possibilities. One, the network is having severe issue. Two, your radios gone bad (which yes, it does happen). Either way, go to a sprint store that has service and repair. (a coporate one). They'll do a PoST test on your phone to check your radio. If it's bad, you'll get a replacement. If it's not, they'll check the towers in your area and possibly submit a network ticket. If that's the case then it's a waiting game.

I've been having terrible service here in Lansing, MI too. I still get failed text messages a few times a day. My signal has been actin funky, 4 bars to 1X to 3 bars to no bars standing in the same spot. Data speeds seem to be slower too. I manually updated my PRL and tried EC05, EF02, and EG22 modems and nothing...
I wonder if sprint will do a radio test on my rooted device... don't wanna odin to stock for nothin..

I'm going to drop this tidbit of info here, and nowhere else.
Sprint doesn't care that your device is rooted. It does not void your TEP. If an associate tells you otherwise, they're wrong.

You are lucky, I've been able to send about 5 text messages today, and I'm a heavy texter. I've been trying for about an hour to send this last one. I have been getting sms fails like this on and off for almost a week. Calling is pretty hit or miss too sometimes.
I usually have about 2-4 bars, occasionally I get the 1X symbol.
edit: meant to quote wishkah
also, thanks reassuring me on that squshy, I heard that somewhere before but wasn't sure.

I have been having erratic issues with text in MA i chalked up to network issues. I am a very heavy user of text lol I out text my 25 year old son LOL! Been with Sprint 4 months now and I average just shy of 1500 a month thank god for unlimited txt and now that football is here it is going to get a lot worst LOL
ive been through 5 epics the last month. literally. 3 from assurion and 2 from sprint. sprint finally gave me an airave which only helped inside my house. everyone else around me with any htc phone has no issues. there is something seriously wrong with the samsung hardware. the nexus s also has the same issues.
piss poor quality on samsungs part is to blame. the evo gets 9mb down on 4g im lucky to connect. 3g is a joke. and making a phone call outside my house requires me to walk down the street.
i live 10 minutes from sprints headquarters...

Quality comes in many forms my friend. For instance, we're not the ones with a manufacturer recognized charging port soldering durability issue. Or hardware revisions to get the display ribbon cable to last.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
there are a few designs flaws with the charging port.
still, the epic should be classified as a rpos.
i still have the sero plan but verizon is looking really nice for twice the money.
sprint sucks simple as that.
i live 10 minutes from headquaters
so do i have any chance unlocking this pos and getting better productivity?

why would you keep getting the same phone if you have that big of a problem with it, the evo is cheaper now you know...
Also, i don't know if it matters, but when i flash a new modem, it usually fails the first time and passes the second time. I can also make and receive calls with more reliability than sms. seems like i just can't send a text with any reliability whatsoever.

Crippled 4G Internet Speeds

I rooted my phone months ago and I think ever since I did, my 4G internet speeds have been very low - like .30 mbps download and .10 mbps upload according to the Speednet test.
I've tried every radio in the radio thread and even went back to the stock ROM ( rooted ) and it remained the same. Does anyone have any suggestions ?
Everything else works 100%.
Sound like you got throttled-tmo has a 5 gig cap per month before you get throttled-Check your data usage for the month. Think if you switch to 2g its a little faster, otherwise you have to wait till your next billing cycle starts
While it may sound like I'm throttled, that isn't what's goin' on cause I've talked to T-Mobile and I'm well below my 2 GB limit. I appreciate your reply anyway.
I haven't been here in a while since I got the Samsung galaxy s2.. I have to agree with you.. You are not throttled. I have been experiencing the same problem even with both phones.. I changed sim cards like three times already. So what I did was called t-mobile they filed a report to the tech engineers to check the towers and their systems will take about 72hrs. So ill be calling back tomorrow (1/16/2012)to find out if they fixed the towers like I was told..the towers might be affecting my speed.. So call them and explain to them and see if they can do the same for you...

No, close, am in nyc, close to Manhattan/Brooklyn...Just tell them a customer/friend has also called and complained about this same situation. i took off work on friday, after dr. appointment, i went to t mobile retail store and we did a test, troubleshooting etc, and nothing...so if they tell you it's your phone what do they expect you to do, exchange your phone, it's ridiculous.. i have both mt4g and samsung galaxy s2, both experiencing the same problems, i told them, actually had a small argument with them, but i'm just waiting for tomorrow and hear what BullSh*t they going to tell me...just make sure if you end up going to tmobile retail store to unroot your phone.. if they ask you to go to a tmobile store..

Ill be the first to hit your thanks
Yea, I've been through all that. Let me know what they say
Spoke to them and they still working on it. So we might get a text or check with them later...

Can you try someone else's SIM in your phone and vice-versa? That narrows it down to the phone or the account.
Last time I went to the States when the prepaid $1.49 day pass still existed, I was being throttled from the moment I entered the country despite not even having a chance to accrue 30 MB of usage. On the second day I bought a new pass and was still throttled. I went to a T-Mobile store and they had nothing to suggest other than that they could try to reset the data (?) on my account. I wanted to try the store's SIMs in my phone or vice versa but they told me all the sample phones had their battery covers glued on so customers couldn't walk away with the SIMs due to a high-theft area.
Anyway, on that second day I used a lot despite the throttling, and in the evening I got a text that I just hit 30 MB and would be throttled. Finally on the third day, when I bought a new pass I had full speed.
No.. T-mobile has acknowledged that they have the problem.. My girlfriend also have the same problem..I will wait till its fixed..I've changed my simply card 3x already..lol

I called 'em today and just pressed the issue further. I can only think it's their network or towers around here cause when I speed test it now, it could download at 6 Mbps or 0.25 Mbps, so I'm taking that as a sign of them working on it.
I got 'em to take $80 off my bill a couple weeks ago because this is bull****. IT's a been a long time, but I never noticed cause I usually use WiFi and I just downloaded the speedtest.net app like a month ago.
I told them I don't care if they fix it tomorrow, I'm still gonna move on and do business with a different company as soon as I can. Every time I see that silly long armed ***** on their commercial boasting about their 4G speeds, I wanna close my account.

Is Sprint having service issues or something in NY right now?

The past few days I've been getting a lot of calls sent right to voicemail even though I have bars and a lot of my SMS messages are coming back as failed to send (though people are still receiving them).
I thought maybe it was an issue with CM9.1, which I just flashed, but my father's stock E4G Touch is having the same problems and he lives in the same area.
Anyone heard anything about Sprint having problems the last few days?
You can dial *2 and ask. They do give up that info. I was told my closest tower has been operating at 65% forever with no repair ticket out. That is why they gave me an Airave.
