[Q] No longer receiving sms in stock messaging app - EVO 4G General

Using stock sense and sprint/gv integration and i can receive texts in gv as well as send them from the stock messaging app and gv.
i've contacted sprint on the phone a couple times and got to the highest level tech support and they couldn't fix it. also tried the sprint store and they just want to give me another evo. they have one on order, but i'd much rather keep my rooted evo! the new one will likely have 2.3 installed stock and i'll need to wait for root.
this really doesn't seem like a hardware issue anyways, seems like it's a network side problem.
i've made sure sms forwarding is enabled to my mobile number on gv, tried factory and hard resets multiple times. tried unintegrating and reintegrating my sprint number with gv.
the weird thing is even when i'm unintewgrated and using just vanilla sprint i don't receive texts at all. i can send them, make and receive calls too but never does a text come to my phone.
there doesn't seem to be anyone else reporting this problem i8n my area.
phone is rooted, stock rom, the problem started after iu hard reset my phone. i was hoping a hard reset would fix some buis i was experiencing with the GB update. i can't say for sure this was because i hard reset, buit it's a huge coincidence that it happened at approximately the same time. i can't think of any logical reason the hard reset would affect my sms this way.
btw i installed a rooted version of 2.3.3 as well as the latest combo radio pack. that was over a week ago though and this issue just cropped up yesterday.
hopefully this post wasn't too jumbled and i gave enough info, any ideas?
edit: crap, should be in the Q&A forum, please move if necessary :/

[Q] If you call one of the people you text, does the return text from them show up after the call?

Not what I was going through a few months back then, but I could make calls but not receive calls. I don't use GV either so probably not the same issue. Just thought I would ask, turns out those issues for me was my 3G going out on my phone. Ended up getting it replaced.
Hope you find a solution, I know how frustrating it is.

sprint is ordering me another phone, hoping against it being a refurb, though then i likely have to wait for a new root method for gingerbread.
preferably they'd get it working on my current evo. i really think it has to be a network issue.

You should be good, I had two replacement refurbs as early as last week and they both had 3.7 on them. Watch for the sunspot on the screen when it boots initially (bright white spot in the lower half towards the middle), both of the refurb replacements had the bad screen. You can't see it if it boots all the way..you'll have to go to a bright screen to see it but it will just get worse to where you will see it all the time. Finally the rep gave me a NIB 004..also 3.7. Just make sure they don't update it, I would ask if you could do the activation as well so you can look for the screen issue on initial boot. Good Luck! Guess I didn't have to quote due to it being right above mine...lmao

Think they'll give me any trouble if I turn in my phone still rooted? I don't feel like unrooting it, not to mention if the new/refurb doesn't fix my issue I'm going to keep my current evo anyways.
I mean they've already approved me for the replacement.

I had the same problem
I had the exact same situation happen last weekend. All I did to fix it was to flash back to a Stock Sense 2.2 ROM, Update Profile/PRL, and then open EPST and Reset Data connection using THIS little tutorial.

Ya..did all that and then some to mine..no dice. But good advice. Hardware issue won't be solved by software no matter the method I found out. Believe me..even went as far as unrooting and seeing if stock would be the same..it was.
The unrooting process is very easy and with the replacement coming in, why not. Sounds like hardware anyway. Here is what I did to go back and forth:

doesn't seem like hardware at all to me though. and if that's the case and I unroot and end up keeping this phone i just shot myself in the foot by locking my bootloader.
i wish i would have had them try activating another phone today to see if another phone would be able to receive the texts.

No need to unroot! Go to voice.google.com, click on the "gear" icon to go into Voice Settings. Find your gv/sprint phone number, click Edit and check the checkbox for "receive text messages on this device." Hit save, and enjoy.

Wont work...
Sounds to me like you have a data issue of some kind. The stock SMS app is not very good. I have never heard of this issue though.
Call sprint and tell them that you cannot recieve MMS and they can reset stuff on their side. I have had to do that because I wasn't getting SMS, they put me on hold for a few minutes reset it, then theyll send you a test message that should work.

most likely your account needs to be re-provisioned
Im having the same problem and Sprint seems to know nothing about it. I have spoken to customer service numerous times about this and even brought it in to the store. The only thing they suggest is a factory reset. I have tried that yet as I dont think that will fix the problem.
ya they tell me on the phone "lets do a hard restart, that fixes everything".. but i havnt done it because i dont want to mess up my root and rom, and i dont even know what will happen.
ok so they tried doing the reprovision today (i actually got some one who new what they were talking about) and it didnt work.
the only step left is a hard restart. will this affect fresh 1.1 or root in any way?

Nexus Stops Sending txts?

Ok I have a nexus one and I'm using Handcent OS, and i thought it was the program itself so I Decided to reset the phone to factory, and try it. It seems that after an amount of time of the phone being on it stops recieving data and sending it..like txt messages and I get network errors.. Is this a common bug or is my device buggy? because when i restart it, it all works again..but when I use it after awhile it will fail sending messages... and then I have to restart to finish sending my txt message...
my phone is doing this too. i thought it was just me. It does it with the stock SMS and Handcent as well. Just fails to send messages or send/receive calls. I hope it gets worked out, I love this phone to death!
P.s. I am not rooted

I'm not rooted either, because I love the phone stock... I would rather keep my warranty intact just incase something retarded happens.

A few times each week I get the exclamation mark in the red triangle when trying to text and I after I try a bunch more times it'll either work or Ill have to restart the phone. But I can't remember having an issue with phone calls. Sometimes ill dial and it will just hang up but it always works right after when I call again. There are a Lot of software issues that Im sure Google will address through time. Hopefully that's all this is....

I have this happen to me too intermittently. A quick reboot always resolves the issue. I just chalk it up to T-mobile network issues.

Same I think its tmobile too.. Oh well can't do anything about that..they just simply need to fix they towers...I got a tower about 3 miles down the road and its not very strong I only get 3g on the left side of my bed and I get edge when i walk to the right side of my bed lol
WE need a reboot application that reboots at night at least once everyday should fix it? ya think..Without root being needed....
Pinch to zoom needs to work in more than one spot... I've noticed in some spots it should be applicable and its not...depressing..
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue.
It's not a T-Mobile network issue: If it regularly occurs, and rebooting your phone fixes it, then it's not an issue with T-Mo's network or SMSC, it's the phone.
Are there any bug reports filed with Google for this one? Does anyone else running non-stock ROMs have this problem as well?

One thing about typing its almost impossible to convey inflection so I don't know if you're kidding. If you aren't
, which would be weird, I don't know of any Android phones that flip any direction other than to the left for portrait. I'm sure there are custom roms that flip every which way but not stock
I'm not sure what you mean about zoom but it works in gallery, maps, browser and 3rd party apps can utilize it. Out of curiosity, where else did you think it should be available? I would say for documents but I guess that's a decision for the application's dev...

Y'all install handscent? I heard that causes a text bug..... thats what I heard so right off the bat I installed chomp sms and no problems...
I get the sms fail bug intermittently and I am on CM 5.0.4.1 although I never seemed to notice it before I started using Handcent. I do love that app though, is there a different one that is comparable?
Yes CM5.0.4.1 does allow for 360 degree rotation. You can flip the phone upside down and it rotates!

[Q] Error sending/receiving MMS "National access coverage not available."

Hello,
Lately I have been unable to send or receive text messages that contain pictures or videos. The error message is always the same "National access coverage not available."
I called Verizon, on Thursday of last week (1-13), and the technician was unable to figure out the problem. He escalated it to the next level and said that someone would be contacting me in a day or 2. Well it's now Wednesday (1-19) of the following week and so far, nothing!
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what's the fix? Any help would be appreciated, especially since Verizon has been no help at all!
I'm using a Moto Droid2 ver, 2.3.2 Rooted and OC'd @ 2.25Ghz
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I updated it waited the 15 minutes. When it didn't work I rebooted the phone figuring maybe it needed to be refreshed or something, (long time windows tech, reboot fixes everything!) but still nothing. Just that same message.
I get the exact same error when sending or receiving MMS 50 percent of the time with the first initial try... *228 does not fix this.. verizon cannot fix it either...
OK, got tired of waiting for Verizon to call back. On the phone with 2nd tier support now for about the last hour, so far nothing.
Mine started doing that on mms after using juice defender app and I had to do a factory reset to fix it.
OK, got finished with the Verizon tech, who was very helpful, but we still could not resolve the issue.
She removed and reloaded my data from the server, switched me to another IP address and did a few other behind the scenes things but nothing worked. She suggested doing the factory reset, but I'm ready to give up troubleshooting this issue yet. If all else fails, then I guess I will have no other option.
Since sending MM text's in not a huge part of what I use my phone for, I may just wait for the next release of the software and hope that fixes it.
In the mean time I'll just keep playing with settings and searching Google and the message boards in the hope that someone can come up with a fix that doesn't involve having to wipe it.

I used to use that app, but removed it long before this started happening. I wonder if it left behind some orphan files that are somehow in there wreaking havoc?
Since the problem still existed even running the phone in safe mode, I would think that would not be the case, but anythings possible.
my phone does the same thing with same message... if i try again to download message it will usually come through, but if it happens on outgoing message it will never go through

That's the thing. Since so many people are having the same or similar issue, I just find it hard to believe it's not something on Verizon's side or with their software. This many people screwing up their phone's in the exact same way all around the same time just seem a little suspect to me.
Mine happened 6 months ago. Just reset it and see what happens. All your apps with reinstall by themselves.

This is great!
So, I just finished the factory reset (which DID fix the problem) and was starting to configure all my custom settings when the Verizon tech I spoke with called me back. She said that she had just spoken to Motorola and they said it was a known problem with their phones! They are not sure what it is yet, but they are working on it. In the mean time, the only thing they can suggest is to reset the phone as a work around!
I asked the Verizon tech if there was any kind of documentation about this that she could send me, but of course there isn't. And there's also nothing on the Motorola site about the error either, at least nothing I could find.
While it doesn't make the situation go away, it does make me feel better knowing what the root of the problem is, sort of. Only problem is, there is no guarantee that it won't happen again.
i turn airplane mode on then off... works for me
Im having the same problem. I even reflashed to stock motorola, still does it. I noticed if i hold down on failed pics or tap download a few times it works. The problem seems to be triggering the data on and off from the send button.

EB01 radio glitches, or possibly Superclean 2.4?

Not the main reason for this post, but first I'd like to mention that I've noticed I'm unable to send long texts when i'm in 1x. I think this is an EB01 issue because I vaguely recall seeing a post about that. Am I correct on this?
Anyways, the main point of my post. I use delivery confirmations, and typically I'll send a text, lock my phone, and a few seconds later the screen will come back on, show the delivery in the notification bar, and then go off again a few seconds later. But sometimes, often enough to notice, I'd say several times a day, I'll lock my phone, and I own't get the delivery report. Then say, 5 minutes later, when I push the power button on the phone to wake it up, the delivery report immediatly pops up, and whatever the person may have texted me back will then pop up too. I'm receiving no notification of the delivery, OR the sms I receieve from the person, until I wake my phone up.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this an EB01 issue, or something with Sc?

Huh? You mean Auto Retrieve for MMS? That's not even what the post is about. And if it were, I wrote that problem is intermittent, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, so changing a setting "on" or "off" probably wouldn't be the solution. But yes, MMS auto retrieve is, and always has been, on.

Actually that is what this post was about...often when people switch to another sms app they switch that off. When that is switched off, you will not receive texts (regular and mms) until the phone is "awake". I'd attempt downloading another sms app and seeing if the results are the same.
Yes, I wiped data AND cache. And auto retrieve is on. The problem doesn't happen all the time, maybe like once ever couple hours I'll notice it.

Just did it again today. Sent a text to my gf, locked my phone. Never got the beep for the delivery, or her reply. Soon as I unlock it a few min later, both come through. Also, the text will have the current time on it, which does make it feel like the phone is losing service while sleeping. However, the speed at which the delivery and subsequent text alerts come through is near instant, < 1 second after the unlock screen appears, so it's as if the phone recieved them, but choose to act as if it hadn't.
As for trying another SMS app, that's not really a solution for me, I'm pretty happy with, and used to, the stock msging app.
Im not suggesting you keep it...i'm saying to see if it's a continuous problem. you don't even have to use the other app...u just want to see if it notifies.

Giving it a whirl, will report back tomorrow sometime.
If you want to run a logcat, I can tell you if I have the same issue. I'm trying to hunt down a solution and I'm going crazy, but I know exactly what it looks like.
Okay, so I'm still having the same issues with Go sms. The phone will be locked, and when I unlock it say, 5 to 10 minutes later, the delivery reports pop up, the stock sms and go sms notifications pop up, and the times on the texts will be the current time, as if they were just recieved.
I too am having this issue. Any solution yet?

Enhanced Messaging not turning on

Hey all!
I purchased my Essential phone brand new from Sprint yesterday. I switched from an S7. I'm trying to use the default android messages app (what I used on my S7) and I tried to enable enhanced messaging to receive stuff via WiFi. I get horrible reception at my desk in my office, so texting over WiFi is super helpful. Well, when I go to turn on enhanced messaging in the app, It just clocks, and eventually says "Excuse the wait... messages will let you know when this step is complete." I click "Got It", then it proceeds to do nothing...
Has anyone else figured how to turn on enhanced features on this device? Sprint is my carrier.

Has happened to me on all my devices I've owned when starting from a clean slate. Just give it time. Check back and reinitiate if needed. Think it has something to do with the carrier side network refresh to see your device or something.

Sorry, little bit longer on the reply this time. Lol. Busy day at work. But it's happened to me with different time lengths. It's been successful within 30 minutes and it's also taken up to 2 days. Sorry I can't be more help. Not sure of the technical side of things on what exactly causes it to know for sure and the fact that I'll just check it and it's done. Because of this, not always sure when exactly it went through either, just know that eventually it starts working and it's happened on my Essential and previous Nexus devices with Sprint, and that out of everything I'd try, time was the only thing that fixed it for me.
Hello I am experiencing the exact same issue with my new Essential phone through Sprint I purchased yesterday. Has your enhanced Features issue resolved itself yet? Any pointers? Sprint was absolutely no help.

Made me look. I'm on rooted Oreo 8.1, everything checked off.
