Weird SMS issue, possibly on Sprint's side? - Epic 4G General

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?

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.

Sms problems

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..

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.

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.

Sprint Network Down for Text + Voice Nationwide

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/17/sprint-network-is-down-no-sms-and-voice-calls-for-some-of-you/
Ha. Their service just gets better by the day...not! Texting hasn't even worked for me for 2 weeks on 50% of the towers/places I'm at in the first place. :|
I knew something was up, I'd get a few notifications of voice mails arriving but no calls. This has been going on the past week and I couldn't figure it out.

Mine has been like that for a few weeks now, too...and data is still at, oh, you know, dial up speeds and 1x.
***It's only in a few places, but still nationwide, not just like 2 cities.
No issues here in Des Moines, Iowa. All services working just fine.

I'm not getting texts from certain people (carriers perhaps), and outgoing calls aren't working. I am integrated through google voice too, and any number in my contacts that is listed with a 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx tells me it can't complete the call because i'm out of credit.
never had problems before now. hopefully this all gets worked out.
Mine hasn't skipped a beat (that I know of) and I've tested it. I don't know. Seems fine here in the dirty Duval

Just from reading this thread, it doesn't seem like the majority - try again.
Btw - No issues here.
Oh, and why would I post about Verizon? You might be thinking of Award Tour no myself.
No issues here in NYC nor any issues communicating with my mom or brother back in Michigan so I'm calling BS on "nationwide".
Also, what network has never had an outage?
Precisely.

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.
