Question 1: For the whole life of my current phone my 3G connection seems to refuse to download at times. The 3G icon is there but the up/down arrows won't light up even though my browser/app is trying to connect. It often times will connect fine later or after a restart. Sometimes the upload arrow will stick on but the download arrow never lights up. Has anyone else had this problem or have any idea what could be causing it? I have tried to research it many times and have always come up short.
Question 2: I never noticed this when I was running stock but ever since I've been running custom roms I have had trouble getting picture messages to download. It seems to work if I have the messaging app open and when I'm sending it to myself. But if I'm running handcent or the app isn't open and running it will say its downloading but never download. I also can't find any info on this, so anyone have some light on the issue? Also could these issues be related to eachother?
I will try restoring to stock and testing the MMS bug cause I haven't yet but even so I would like to find a fix to this on custom roms even if it works on stock.

Ok, so I like to write messages longer than 3 texts, so I have to use handcent. So I don't know whether it's an app problem or a phone problem.
Even when I try and send messages 1 text long they don't go through.
I can have full signal or at least 2/3 bars GPRS but they don't go through. Usually it happens on GPRS though.
Any ideas?
In fact, It's stopped sending them all together now ¬¬
And I have plenty of signal (2/3 bars GPRS [more than I usually have had when sending texts])
Edit: I keep receiving them, I just can't reply
things to try:
reboot, test
reinstall handcent, test
uninstall handcent and test with default app.
wipe phone (settings will be restored, and apps will be re-downloaded for you after you log in).
I've rebooted my phone before and the problem went away but now it's back. Thinking about it I probably just had 3g when it worked. It worked again when I briefly got 3G coverage and now i've sent all of my unsent messages it seems to be working again... for now.
The problem is I can't use the stock messaging app because of the annoying auto-mms conversion thing which hasn't been sorted so I had to use Handcent. I'd love to use the stock app and I actually prefer it apart from that one annoying issue.
This sounds a little like the problem with the HD2 on stock VF rom. Some say it helped to choose 2g only for sending messages (if that setting exists on the n1).
I dont have the N1 yet, so only guessing......
I've been having the same problem since the radio update, I'm seriously frustrated with this phone right now...
Haven't noticed this issue using the stock SMS app...
Easy fix, pick up the phone and talk if it's more than two sentences.
Not. A very helpful comment. Stfu.
I have same problem with even. One word texts. And since update. Reboot always fixes UT but annoying and shouldn't ever happen
Running full stock with update and using ChompSMS with no problems at all. I do seem to have the new 3g problem with the new radio ppl are having but turning on 2G only fixes the problem. Other wise no SMS problems at all here.
I've tried searching around here and couldn't find an answer to this. I apologize if this has been asked before.
But I just received my Evo 4G today and i've noticed that when I go to the Market, everything loads extremely slow (whether im on 3G or WiFi). Searching takes longer than usual to find results and when I try to download an app it takes a while for the info to come up. This also occurs on the installation page. It just shows a blank white screen for a while, then shows the info and allows me to download. Anyone know the reason for this?
anyone experiencing this? I know I can't be th only one.
I don't know if mine is quite as extreme as your describe your problems, but it does take a very long time to load the first page of the market, and going to the Downloads page is super slow. Definitely an annoyance.
EDIT: Right now I can't even use the market. It loads but nothing will download, it all fails.
Yeah I have had this issue as well. I am just assuming that its part of the Froyo launch and the fact that it was also having issues yesterday.
I experienced this too when I first got the phone and after rooting and flashing a rom. After I had downloaded and installed a bunch of apps the market went back to normal. I think it just takes some time to load everything or recognize the device.
I'm having the same issue. Before I was getting a [insert app name here] download unsuccessful error, now nothing download's at all .... Now the download unsuccessful error is back...ehh. Guess market place has some issues right now.
Market not working for me either. Just says download unsuccessful.

Hmm, I have problems downloading anything from the market over wifi. It just sits there without ever making any progress. If I turn off wifi, stuff downloads right away over 3g. Everything else seems to work fine over wifi though.
Yea I just realized that after a while of waiting it went back to normal. Not a big problem. Thanks anyways.
it happenss from time to time, usually just server load
I was not sure which forum to put this in so I am posting it here in the general section. I am trying to figure out what is going with the MMS and sprint. Sometimes I can receive an mms and it will download the attachment with not problems. At other times is never downloads. It says downloading but after 2 hours it will still be stuck. I have found that this happens on the stock rom as well as a custom rom. It happens with the stock messaging app as well as with handcent. It happens regardless of which kernel is being used. I have tried various fixes and and I always make sure my 3g is connected. I still can not find a solution for this intermittent mms issue. Does anyone else have any ideas or fixes not listed in the development and app forums?
I know me and a few other people have been getting problems on downloading any apps on the market for some reason. Also I have noticed that some times my wifi icon and signal icon is green and other times they are gray.
Well I just figured out that I only get these problems downloading apps on the market while my icons are grey, but when the icons are green market works normal. Now I know that I still get data while the icons are grey, cause my web browsing works so it can't mean that im not receiving an active connection. Does anyone know what does the difference in colored icons mean?
Sorry if this is posted already and I posted in this section because I believe it has to deal with the fix of the market problem
Grey means that you aren't connected to google's sync servers. so yes this may be the cause of not being able to d/l
thanx cuz i remember someone asking about the color also but with no answer so what may be the reason why i am not connected to googles sync servers like 85% of the time? and is it possible to fix?
also this may be the cause of all the errors with gtalk connecting or not sending msgs ive been reading about
I'm getting the same errors too. Any fixes?

Glad to know it isn't just me! I was scrolling thru settings trying to figure out why my icons were gray

Mine only go grey when switching from EDGE to WiFi. the only thing i can suggest is a factory reset. also, is this happening when the phone is going down to edge? this may be what is causing the problem.
ill do a nandroid backup and then do a factory reset and post any updates
EDIT: so far its working im about to restore my phone tho cuz i forgot to make a titanium backup of my apps then ill wipe again ill post if it starts messing up again
My phone has not had this problem, but I have seen my wifes do this a few times. We both got the Nexus S today. We run on wifi here at home. I thought it was really odd when trying to get some items from the market.
It eventually turned green, but took about 30 seconds or so.
I searched the forums to see if anyone else noticed these issues. First I upgraded via the exe file from samsung and I even did a wipe of my sd card after backing it up...
I am on stock eb13 and not rooted..
My issue is this, sometimes when trying to send text messages they get stuck with sending and don't actually send... I am kinda assuming this is happening after receiving a picture or sending a picture, but I am not sure on this because I can't make it produce this problem on a constant basis.. the only thing that seems to fix this is rebooting the phone.. then the text messages that all had sending on them will send all at once..
Second issue is today I wanted to send a funny animated picture text I received to mutiple people and while typing the peoples names in I would get multiple force closes.. the only way it seemed to work was using the contacts then choosing the names that way... I didnt fully test this to see if that was the work around and was curious if anyone else were getting forces closes...
Overall my experience with the stock sms app has been very annoying. D118 worked far better for me in the sms category..
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter....

Regarding the stuck on Sending... this is a problem with 2.2 and there is no fix yet. It has been present since DK28 but is completely random on when it occurs; sometimes you go a month+ before it happens, other times hours.
When it happens, go to settings/applications/manage/running and FC the messaging app. When you reopen it, it should send. Only other option is reboot and it will send.

My Evo is known for getting stuck receiving the SMS messages. Never have been able to figure it out. very frustrating indeed so i feel your pain
Thanks for the replies.. much appreciated..

To tell you the truth I don't think I've ever ran into this problem myself...the only way I'm stuck on sending is if in a bad service area which is common, did you try to a hard reset possibly? I'm not much help on android development, but starting from scratch may help?

I have seen issues like this with sprint in general, not just on my Epic. Sometimes texts just won't send. Other times you get like 4 or 5 texts that get delivered late.
I know that your issue is probably software related though. I really don't like the 2.2 messaging app. The one on 2.1 worked great
I've also had this issue, back to when I had the Moment. Same fix for me, reboots and whatever I thought was already sent, finally sends. At least I have an excuse for when my gf wonders why I haven't responded to her texts lol
I've only had this problem since getting EB13. I've found that if you go into RAM manager via task manager and do a level 2 memory clear, it shuts down a critical SMS process and the phone will refuse to send any SMS until the the phone is rebooted.
By chance have you been clearing memory in RAM manager on the new EB13?

I know that I do, I actually do this rather frequently when I want to make sure my music player or game or anything else isn't still running in background. Not going to do a memory clear the entire day and see if this error still comes up.

Let us know your results, I'm fairly certain this is the cause of my SMS issues. I haven't done a level 2 ram clear in a couple of days and have had zero SMS issues since.

I've been having the same issue too, and I can also confirm that I no longer have this problem by not using level 2 clears.
I'm having problems still and data problems..
Although I found out yesterday that Sprint put up a new tower in my area (south bend, in) and the problems won't be fixed for about a month :/
at least i know it's (most likely) not my phone
I am having similar issues. Just activated my phone, about an hour later I am using Syndicate 1.0.2
I can receive texts, but am getting "Failed" sent texts. Cleared my ram. Reboot. Still having issues.
I'm going to get to bed, and hope the problem is gone in the morning =P
EDIT: Well I figured out my issue. I tried to make a call this morning and got directed to SPRINT. Sprint apparently had to finish activating my phone... now texting works. hah! I feel kind of silly now for worrying about it.
