[Q]SMS says sent successful but people aren't receiving them!? - EVO 4G General

Im on CM7 if that matters...but anyways, i've noticed since i got my evo, people haven't been responding to my texts. well i've asked a few people and it seems some people aren't receiving my texts. It's on and off so its hard to diagnose. anyone?

yeah , I am the same but i am not receiving them, well it's been on and off, I don't know, I change back to sense because of this....

did switching back to sense fix it?

This is a sprint problem!!! It does not matter what rom you run! Trust me...
I have had this happen a ton of times before i even rooted. Sprint texting = fail.

Has anybody found a fix for this? My texts go through but am not receiving any back.

SMS problems?

I'm running Syndicate Rom along with Phoenix kernel. As of late I've been having problems receiving text messages. Sometimes I'll receive them hours late (with the correct time stamp), other times I won't receive them till I send an outgoing message to the same person (where I get the pending messages almost instantly, again with the correct time stamp), and some messages I don't receive at all.
Has anyone experienced similar problems, and is it possible that it isn't ROM related but maybe some sort of other software conflict? Any ideas or input would be great
Thanks,

Same problem with stock di18. Its on sprint's end.
Yea, I've had this issue since Christmas. I thought it was my SMS popup application, but I think it's a Sprint issue. It's getting really annoying too.
Stock DI18, not rooted.

I've been having the same issue but it's only with certain people.
I notice it more on certain ROMs than others. Also I notice it more when texting my wife (sprint customer as well) than to/from other carriers.
Could be that it's on Sprint's end but not sure.

[Q] Not receiving text messages from girlfriend only!

Hey xda,
I have been having this intermittent problem with my GT540 where I will be receiving and making text messages all the time and suddenly I will stop getting replies from one person only, my girlfriend. I know she has been texting because she has been telling me over MSN and facebook but these messages won't goto my phone. I put my SIM card in another phone and they all come through in one big heap.
Things I've tried:
removed and replaced SIM card
airplane mode on/off
update firmware to 2.1update1 stock
reflash firmware (3 store did this for me in attempt to fix the problem which fixed it for a while)
deleted all previous messages from her/everyone
put sim card in different phone (as said earlier, this downloads all her messages in one go, however this other phone is not my main phone and isn't ment to be used)
anyone have any ideas? please help me
This would be more if a long term solution, but this is why i like Google voice. All SMS stored online in case you don't receive one, for whatever reason.
Or maybe just replace your girlfriend..

Get a different phone, that's what i did. My gt540 had a mind of its own. When people used to text me i would receive the texts late. When people called me it would go straight to voicemail. it would usually take six tries to get through to me. My wife had the same phone and she was going through the same thing as me. This problem started from android 1.6. Back then i would just receive texts late once in a while. The more i upgraded the phone the more problems the phone gave me with its network. So finally i had enough and got a new phone a couple of days ago. I am now the proud owner of the Samsung galaxy s.
I know that the text/call issues dont affect everyone, however i had this issue and i know a couple other people who went through it to. I can't think of anything else to tell you other than get a different phone.

I have to agree with skribbler
I am getting a wildfire on Tuesday for the same reason plus the wildfire can run honeycomb
And cm7

honeycomb aint out, only on emulator and wildfire is ldpi so i dont know why you would want to buy it.
I have restricted income and no credit rating and I want a capacitive screen for less than £160 can you suggest any other phones

wildfire is ldpi so that's really big 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?

I've had the same problem to. I just get a voicemail but no record of any calls in my call log and the.phone didnt ring
Sent From My Evo Killer!
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.

[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 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.

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.

[Q] Delayed Texting

I am having a problem with me texts that i am sending. They take a while to get to the person that i am sending them to. I have an updated radio on my phone. I had this problem before i updated the radio also. Thanks for any help with this issue.
I'm assuming its happening with more than one person?
If so do they have the same carrier?
Its possible there is an issue with theirs.
Yes its happening to everyone I text. No matter what carrier they have.

It has happen to me before. Everytime I text my gf she would get it like 4 mins later...but I guess it could be the reception or the service..but only sometimes...
