Texting Issue

Anybody else have this problem? At completely random times, I just can't send text messages. I receive them with no problems, but I cant reply or intiate a conversation. They always say "sending." They sometimes send maybe an hour later or so, or I'll just restart my phone a few times which eventually allows them to send. Anybody elsehave this problem? Or is it just me....

This happens to me randomly, more so with my Hero than my Epic. I usually just reboot and it will go through. Sometimes switching to airplane mode and then back again will do the trick.

Happens to me on occasion. Has to do with the network not available when it happens despite the fact it shows good singal strength.

That and Sprint has been having 'issues' w both voice and data for a while now, like a couple months...? it is a 'known' issue (i.e. dont *****, they cant figure it out yet). Could be worse, you could get the 4am bulk mms sendout of your girls naughty pic she sent you (theres a thread about that issue...). I would save your mms, back up sms if you care, and delete all history... that may prevent sprint from messaging everyone you know.

Discussion on the "Infinite Sending Issue" (ISI)

Has anyone else noticed that your text messages get stuck in a never ending send, and they never get sent or fail at getting sent? This has happened to me five times where I send a text message, then about 30 minutes later realize it never sent...
This is the only flaw I've seen with EC05, along with TWS issue, but it is going to almost force me to switch back to EB13 modem if I can't figure out how to fix this.

I have not seen any of my texts not send and I have been on the ec05 modem for a week now. Possibly try toggling airplane just to reset modem.

I have, see I thought the problem was on my end...but it can't be.
I have flashed DI18 and EB13 and updated to EC05 three times now, and everytime without fail it happens. It doesn't happen right away, but it does happen and when it does I don't notice it til an hour later because it is just sitting there saying "Sending" and it never fails.

Are you running the stock version of EC05? Are you using any themes?

This is happening to me too. It is very annoying. I just turn the phone off and back on again and that usually solves the problem for me. But I'm getting tired of turning my phone off and on again every hour or so so I might switch back to EB13 as well

Whew I'm not going crazy. Yes the only fix is to turn on and off the phone. But if this continues I'm going to flip a **** because I text non-stop....

Haven't see that issue here and I've sent a lotof texts on ec05. I have seen some other weird text issues from from othr people that use sprint (like my wife). Things like garbled text, lost texts, etc.. I think it may be a Sprint issue more than a phone or rom.

Might not work...This happened to me with EB13...I haven't sent any texts yet with EC05 yet. If you still have stock touch wiz, clearing the memory seemed to make them send once stuck.
Or you could just wait...they'll send about 2 days later...every single one...at the same time. You'll get really interesting texts back from people.

I saw that problem back on eclair but havent had the issue since eb13 or ec05 clear the data in the sms program and the cache and that might help. Also i only noticed theissue if my phone had a really bd signal and was bouncing between roaming and not.

Instead of rebooting, have you tried long pressing the message that's stuck and then hitting resend?
ETA: You might have to long press, cancel, then resend. I forget the exact steps.

I've had this problem since DK28 and the only way I have found to make it work was rebooting. But now I found a workaround using the blackbionix theme..the dialer force closes when you end a call and that seems to fix it. Also when you clear level 2 memory, messages stop sending. I hope we get a fix for this. It has been driving me crazy!!!!

I also had a problem one morning where I woke up and the radio was dead. I had missed calls and texts but no idea I had them until I toggled airplane mode (because I saw there was no 3G icon next to the signal bars). After toggling airplane mode, a couple texts came through from 2 hours prior and a voicemail. All three were work related. This is stock EC05 rooted. I'm about ready for the Evo 3D to get here.

Only once, but my office can be like a bunker, so not consistently. They are instantaneous outside.

I have had something similar happen to me a couple of times. On a few occasions, the text was sent, but in a few seconds, it would show a message that it failed to send it. This has happened only on a few occasions, so cannot draw any conclusion about what is causing it.

Happened to me yesterday when I odined to EC05. Data and calls were fine, but text messages wouldn't go through. I tried rebooting, nothing. Updated my PRL to 60677, rebooted, and then my text mesaages were working fine. Not sure if updating PRL did it or the second reboot, but it's working fine now.

yep, clearing level 2 ram will stop texts from sending. After doing this and re-booting, you should be good (for a while at least). This is how I always dealt with it on eb13. I would have the issue, clear ram, then reboot. I had this problem very often with eb13, but since updating to ec05 I have not encountered it yet. I couldn't stand it, the text either wouldn't send or it would take forever then send multiple times to the recipient.

[Q] TXT Grr!!

First of all apologies if this has been covered before.
My son in law got himself a new Atrix yesterday and so far he is very happy with it. Exept any txt messages he gets keep coming again and again about every 1/2 hour this has been going on all day and I am the one he is blaming as I was the one who recommended the Atrix to him.
If anybody has had this problem or anyone knows the answer I will be much obliged as the way things are going I will not get any sleep tonight.

Sounds like someone is using SMS Bomber to send him repeat text messages. Download Anti SMS Bomber from the market, and make sure it runs all the time, that should do the trick.
Anti SMS Bomer - https://market.android.com/details?id=org.baole.antibomber

Is it the same exact text message over and over? I had this happen to me last night, except it was the same exact text coming from my girlfriend.
I turned off my phone for the night and the next morning I received about 30 text messages (all from her) saying the exact same thing. I solved it just a little bit ago with an SBF flash.

This happens to me anytime my phone is off or in airplane mode and someone texts me more than once. The first one sent comes over and over again.
You don't have to SBF flash.
With the phone on, pull the battery (and I reseat the sim, but that's probably just silly) and pop it back in. I usually get the message one more time and then any that were queued up behind it.
I use GoSMS but I also got it with Handcent... Stock doesn't seem to do it.

Oh. I had mine with the SMS app (from GBlur). I think I had a total of ~170 messages from her saying the same thing. I did all of that and even tried separate SMS clients but nothing worked except an SBF flash

Thanks to one and all for your advice.
We sorted it in the end by phoning Orange and they advised the pull battery while the phone was still on. After re-boot they pushed all the queued up messages. Up till now things are looking OK but S-i-L is a bit reluctent to try messages.
I think he is either going to try the Anti SMS Bomber or SBF flash, it's up to him I got into enough trouble for recommending the Atrix. He is now trying to do a swap for my SE Xperia Arc. (Thinking about it).

That does fix it... it is of course subject to happening again if he gets a message while the phone is off. Fairly easy fix though, i've never had to have them push my messages. My wife sends me enough that she pushes them for me
Totally trade him!

Yes, it still happening with me. Try to disable Cell Broadcast on Wifi & others configuration menu...
Mine doesnt have this menu, but i edited it on settings.db and still spamming the sms.
@Edit
Look at HERE

Ive had the Atrix since launch never had this problem, my buddy who i recommended the Atrix started getting 20+ same text two days ago. Then yesterday I had the same problem for the first time. We both called Att, they were useless. The problem resolved itself for both of us last night. A bunch pushed through all at once. No sbf no battery pull, but if it happens again I def will pull battery. No duplicates in 24 hours, glad thats over. My phone was definately not turned off or in airplaine mode when it started.

This all points at a network level problem. Why would the phone redeliver its own texts?
We had this with another phone here at work a while back when someone was abroad and it was a network level issue that caused it.

I agree, I'm assuming it's happening when sending to you fails somehow, out of range or no signal or whatever (airplane mode, shutting down system) and the request gets stuck.
Sad that AT&T can't get that fixed though.

Okay so no duplicate text since I posted yesterday, or, two days ago.? Just sent my buddy (^who also had the prob^) a text asking it he had gotten anymore duplicates. I received three back that said "no". I sent one saying, "are you joking?". He called and asked if I was f***ing with him, hes getting duplicates of my messages also. So the issue went away for 48 hours and came back when I mentioned it!! *facepalm
Pulling the battery doesn't help! The issue resolved itself before w/o a factory reset so I am hesitant to do one. I agree with the thinking that it is a network issue. What would you do XDA friends?
EDIT: Im on 4.1.83 GladRoot GingerBlur. He is on 4.1.83 GladRoot NO GBlur. Im using Handcent and I think he is too.

I Still with duplicated messages... thats making me replace atrix for anything else... just atrix have this insue.

I'm happy to say that since I last posted on this thread there have been no more mass duplication messages
I am extra happy about that as I did the swap and am loving My Atrix.

Yes i was, but I uninstalled it recently. I am no longer getting duplicate texts. my friend IS still having the prob. Att has sent him another Atrix, we are going to copy his apps to the new phone soon and see if they stop.
Is there an issue with RCB on the Atrix?

Interestingly im running that too. I haven't seen the issue in a week or so but next time I will try disabling it too. I know everytime it gains root access it FC's the Voice Commands app.

No voice or text but 3g?

hello everyone, im having some weird problems.... let me start off by saying that i bricked my phone(full brick tried everything wouldn't go into dl mode) a couple weeks ago and sent it in to have it fixed. well i got it back but now i cant text or call but i can use data(i found that odd) so i odined EL30, checked my settings, plugged my phone in and used QPST to check everything was right in the cdma, cdma-2 tabs and everything still matches up with my doner incognito... i dont get it.
list of everything ive tried
- Double-Triple-Quadruple check everything in qpst matches(i even had old backup's i made and text/voice still wouldn't work)
- delete and restore apns(unrelated i think but i still tried)
- update profile+prl
- check qpst again, just to be sure
- reboot
- factory data reset
idk guys...maybe im missing something simple? HELP
EDIT: update, idk what happened but my phone JUST got some texts that my friends told me they sent around 9 hours ago. sadly it didnt magically fix itself and i still cant send messages or make calls(and i presumably cant receive messages at least not in a timely fashion). if this gives any incite on the problem figured id let you all know. also data still works

do you have an airrave? If you do, reset it.

Out of curiosity, what area do you live in? I'm in the West burbs of Chicago, and both my wife and I were having issues with calls and texts yesterday evening. Havne't noticed anything so far this morning, but it could be a Sprint problem, not a You problem.

Call Boost, tell them the issue (leave out the programming, be simple and say you can't call or text) what they'll do is reset your line, and if the rep is too stupid or hasn't done that before, suggest it.

Just got this phone, two questions

So, I'm liking this phone so far, we switched from tmo and I went from a m8 to this. Two annoyances, first, is there any way at all to dim the soft button lights, only at night? OMG they were bright last night while laying in bed! From what I can find, it's either 100% or totally disabled. I don't mind them during the day, but not at night. That's just stupid to me.
And another, what I think is major annoyance that just happened. It seems Sprint pushed a bunch of apps down to my phone automatically! I went through all my apps to log in and do all the setup stuff and then rebooted my phone. Now all of a sudden, I've got music players, tv players, support chat, etc., all Sprint branded! WTF?!? Are they going to keep doing this? Is there a way to stop this?
And now another thing...
It turns out that I cannot send or receive picture messages while on wifi. Sprint doesn't seem to know why and is blaming my wifi connection. No, that's not it. It's not slow (100+mb), there are no connection limits, my wife can do this just fine on wifi, we could do it before, etc. WTF????
More info, just found that if I turn off WiFi Calling, things work fine. Never had this problem with tmo....
One last update on the mms issue. Looks like I can't send via wifi. I disabled mobile data and still have the problem. So, with Sprint or the S7 you can't send mms messages via wifi? What's up with that?

1. the lights can be shut off with an app called Galaxy Lights not sure they can be dimmed without root
2. Try package disabler pro you can disable all of those Sprint apps and they wont be in your app drawer
3. Not being able to send MMS is 100% the device, It has worked for me on every device Ive ever owned. Try a factory reset just in case something got botched on the intial set up.

Are you using hangouts to try and send mms? If so, try another messaging app.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Free mobile app

I like to use mysms as default messaging app, but MMS gets stuck when I use it for default app. I have to go back to stock messaging and it works just fine so something might be borked with 3rd party apps for MMS. Another problem is if you change from the default messaging app, notifications for unread text on the always on display stop working.

Try textra, it has an option for sending/receiving over WiFi, I'm not sure if it works with the always on feature.

1. Yeah, I don't want them off, just dimmed or maybe be able to turn off just at night automatically.
2. I'll look into that one. I'd rather remove them to free up space, but if that's not an option, then this is the next best best.
3. Ug, I literally spend most of the day yesterday configuring all my apps (signing in, settings, notifications, etc.); I really hate to reset and go through all that crap again.

I went to the store today and after an hour and a half of them trying to figure it out and Googling it, they came to conclusion that it cannot be done. Can anyone with an S7 confirm that they can send a picture message over wifi alone or with wifi calling enabled? I don't believe their claims.

Thanks so much for testing this! Now It's time to whoop some sprint butt over this!

Well after talking to Sprint again and Samsung, it looks like it's an issue with Google Messages and Hangouts. Using the Samsung texting app, things work as expected. I thought I checked that before, but obviously not.

Much (but not all) of the Sprint bloatware can be uninstalled, not just disabled. Look at them one by one in the Application manager.

Yeah, I've been able to disable or remove most of it. But there are still a few lingering apps that I can't do either on. Also, they seem to like to push apps down to my phone. Just got something called sprint id the other day (just showed in the notification bar that it was installed). But I don't even see that in my app manager.
