Phone acting weird - EVO 4G General

My Evo is unlocked and running Cyanogen 6.1
Sometimes i don't receive text, Sometimes i call people and it tends to hang/stall before calling people... some people call me and go straight to my voice mail.. from what they have been telling me... and i don't receive a missed call.. also i call some friends an it goes straight to voice mail. anyone know anything about this?

are you running nightly?

Had the same issues myself. Went back to fresh and i'm still having some sms and 3g problems. Maybe it's a sprint issue.

I guess you mean having the phone on at night? if so it charges after 11pm when iget off work

No. He means the nightly cm releases. The answer is obviously no.

Lately I've been having SMS issues too.. it may be Sprint acting screwy. I don't have the call issues though. I'd just hang tight for now, as it could be anything causing this problem.

Occassionally, phone doesn't ring and missed no. not displayed

I did not come across this issue being mentioned, but if it has been, please point me in the right direction.
I have noticed the following behavior after upgrading/flashing to stock EB13, using ODIN:
On more than a few occassions, the phone does not ring or vibrate when a call comes in. Not only this, but the missed call no. does not display in the log of missed/received calls. This is quite annoying. Has anyone come across this?

Lately this has been a DAILY occurance for me and im PISSED about it. I use my phone for BUSINESS and my "business" is pretty important so I cant afford to be missing calls like this.
However I think that it has something to SPRINTS service and not the device itself.
Just odin'd back to STOCK DK28 & rooted last night.....It hasnt happened since....at least not yet...LOL
Yeah I think its sprint service too. My phone has done it on di18,dk28 and now eb13

Ditto on this. I suspect it is either Sprint or it's the crappy RIL they're talking about in the CM7 progress thread. I think this mostly because I had the same problem on my Moment.

Same here,its happened twice today and once on my brothers Epic as we were sittin there waiting on our ride to get here and call; So he had a voicemail telling us he was outside,was there for 5m before we checkd the phone because I brught up the fact that my phone dosnt ring sometimes. That sucks.

Is there someone who can confirm if this is an issue with Sprint's service, or the firmware? I am having a hard time believing it would be Sprint's service, as I haven't read about this issue much - this does not prove anything, but still.
I use my phone for business, too, and definitely cannot afford to lose calls, and on top of that, not even have the missed calls appear in the call log.
Actually I was just talking to my wife and to be honest I don't ever rememrher evo doing that. Also I had an evo as well and I don't remember this issue as well. Maybe it is the epic then. Anyone else??

I've had that on every phone I've had with sprint in the last 10 years, sprint tech called it tower lock said if you remain for an extended period of time within one towers rande then move to another sometimes the calls won't get routed right, oddly enough when I've had it happen its not all calls, don't know if this is true or just bs from sprint, first time they had me take the battery out and wait 10 mins and it was fixed, second time they had to do something on their end and I had to update my prl
Haven't had it happen for about a year but I've since then moved and regularly travel between multiple towers
This has happened to me since I got this phone. Sometimes I can be calling my chick and she right in front of me and she won't receive 2 to 4 calls till the phone actually rings. Same on the receiving end she can be calling me and no calls come thru. She'll be all pissed telling me off why I don't answer my phone and ill check to see if its on silent and no, and no calls missed. I think it samsung cause my chick has an htc evo and this **** doesn't happen to her. This will probably be my last samsung purchase.
Same.here. my wife has an evo and she gets all her calls. I don't get them and I get the same thing as you. Why didn't you answer your phone? Cause the damn thing didn't ring!!!!!

Lmfao... "Why are you not answering your phone?" This is the text from my wife about a couple hours ago.. I was at my neighbors with avg 4 bars of signal... I think my touch pro was the absolute worst with this issue.. text messages hours late and VMs with no missed calls...
I don't think that many ppl use 'slydial'.

I can tell you it isn't a Sprint thing, as my HTC Aria does this as well and I am on AT&T.
Im applying for jobs right now and really need to receive phone calls. Does anyone have a fix at all for this? Ive updated the PRL and it just seems to get worse.
Well at least I know I'm not the only one.... I've had issues since going to EB13, never noticed it on other base-builds tho.
Yea its started on EB13 for me too
I've had this issue for years. I always presumed is was a CDMA thing. I have email, facebook, twitter, baseball news and others using 3g to check for new items. Since all these are on different timers, they may take up a not insignificant amount of bandwidth. As CDMA sends incomming calls to voicemail if you are using 3g, I thought this was what was causing the issue. But I never turned off all updates to see if the problem went away. Might be worth trying.

By your logic, if I go back to JuiceDefender, the problem may be resolved to a point.
I've had it happen from candybar and flip regular phones and dumb phones and smartphones. This is nothing new. I've experienced it for years. My suggestion is to tell people to try calling a second time. It usually gets through then. It's not the phone, its the service or technology. The phone might be in a sleeping cycle.

QFE - Both my TP and TP2 were awful about this. Still have it happen pretty frequently with the Epic. I'm sure it's issues in the network.

Turning off 'lost signal' chirp?

Does anyone know how to find and remove the sound file that plays when the Epic loses and regains signal? It's one of the most annoying "features" of the phone and is really getting to me. I lose signal often on my way to work while listening music and it always interrupts.

+1 to this. I also find it a particularly annoying sound. I work in a low signal area and it goes off over and over during the day.
Been plagueing us for a long time. I tested every sound file I could find with root explorer and came up empty.
Do you BONSAI?
Apparently a patch turned this off on some Verizon phones... anyone know anything about that?

Trust me, I have literally spent hours upon hours in root explorer looking for this damn thing, it might be impossible to remove from samsung roms. Cyanogen doesn't have this problem =)

They had a hidden menu with that option that the Epic does not.

Yah, today was a beautiful day. But since I live in the hills, my connection gets lost pretty much every time I drive out of the house.

[Q] Anyone having problems with MMS on Sprint the last few days?

It's been taking me hours just to send one photo.. And half the time it fails. Also taking forever to receive them. I'm getting them 6+ hours after they're sent to me.
No issues here, have you switched roms or anything?
Swyped via my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
Went to CM7 when it came out but haven't switched since. Problems just started yesterday-ish
Problems yesterday but fixed today.
It's way better for me today, but still acting up.
My girlfriend and I are both having mms problems. We are both running CM7. I thought it was just crappy service, I just switched to sprint friday. I flashed sprint lovers rom just to see. It sends in like 10 seconds on that rom.

I have slight problems evey now and then but nothing major.. cm7
I use and love CM7 but there was an issue with MMS in the CM7 v7.0.0, but I think it was fixed. Yesterday I was not receiving MMS while I was roaming but I could send them. After I got home I was able to send and receive but never did get the ones from early that day.
My daughter tried to send me a photo on Sunday. Got a "Message not downloaded, Generic network error" notification, several times. After an hour or two, the message finally came through.

I experienced the same thing. I imagine that it was just a temporary network outage.

I have an htc evo on boostmobile and have been having the same problem the last few days with mms, Boost uses sprint towers so I guess it has something to do with sprint and nothing to do with phones/roms, I'm running Fresh rom.
Sure sounds like Sprint to me...
Glad it's over.
I tried a few different aosp roms the last few days. I had the same mms issue with all of them. It either took forever to send or never sent at all. I downloaded gosmspro from the market and changed the max size to <300k and I dont have any problem sending anymore.

I had the same issue. It may have been the network, but i flashed to CM7.0.2.1 and I haven't had any issues.

Then it would be the rom in that case, I'm a bit stumped because if I turn the phone off and then back on the mms message sends.

Text messages or picture messages???

I suddenly stopped receiving text messages.

I'm rooted, and on 1.8.3 I believe.
Everything was working out fantastic, and literally one hour to the other one I stopped receiving texts. I have everything backed up, and I'm wondering if I can just reset the phone without having to flash it back to stock settings.
Anybody have the same issue?

Are you running any call blockers? Also have you tried to pull the batter while the phone is on?
Yeah man, I took the battery out and rebooted the phone.
Called AT&T but they can't help at the moment because their system is down, etc. I kind of just want to go back to stock and update, etc. I'm just wondering if I can do that from my phone or not?

It's in the midwest too, my daughter and all of her friends were up in arms on Facebook that they couldn't get/send texts last night.
My friend who lives in NC could not receive messages nor send them since the 5th of June until yesterday(he called AT&T and had it fixed) after he realized that the problem was not with his IPhone.

Not getting SMS

I have a reoccurring issue with multiple roms. Using SS8/9 and now Shooter. I only randomly will get text messaged from any sender. I recently unrooted my phone back to factory 2.2 stock then upgraded to 2.3 and had no issues. So my problem only happens when I am running a custom rom. I should normally get alot of messages through the day as I work for a IT company that gets paged for critical issues in a hospital. Luckily I have a pager as well so I still get the messages. So far today, my pager has not stopped going off and I have yet to get a single text on my phone. I do not have google voice as I removed that a month ago on SS8 hoping to resolve the issue. Any help is appreciated.
Currently running Team Nocturnals Shooter with dodgekernel 1.6 (with and without oc)
Edit: i just flashed to stock rooted and started getting messages instantly... no clue why custom roms dont work for me
Ill look around, I thought there was an app available on the market that helped with this issue... Sprint's network is notorious for borking the delivery of sms and mms... You arent the first person to post the issue... If I find the app I'll link it for you.
Edit: I couldnt find the app... But this issue you are having is definitely a sprint network issue...

Not really...There's some network settings in the build.prop of every rom...He said the issue doen't happen on non-rooted roms.

Try a non sense rom, you probably won't have that issue anymore. If you do you probably need to update your radio after you root.

Well it is a known issue on the Sprint Network. Has been for a while, actually Srint Confirmed it several times. I really don't think switching to a Non-Sense Rom would solve the issue. Because it's still a custom Rom. I would try updating the PRL / Profile. Also the Radio as you suggested. But I don't think it's a Sense thing.

You can also try calling Sprint. Have them reset your Messaging, and Data. Just make sure your on a Sense Rom if you call, just in case they ask you to access ESPT. Also, goes without saying do not tell them your rooted, or let them remote access your phone.
Ghostly sms will be your best friend man, it's a memory issue inside of Sense for "some" users so give that app a shot, hell I run it on my inspire because I'm aware of the memory issues HTC and Sense have
