If you can send but can't receive it's possible there is an outage in the area.
How many people have you tested this with? Maybe they have an outage or issue with their phone.
If you wiped the phone completely and the .zip wasn't corrupted then it's unlikely to be a ROM related issue.

I haven't received any texts in days. Can't receive from Verizon or ATT. Haven't tried Sprint.

You may want to call Sprint and ask if there's some sort of issue in the area.
The ROM you're using has the ESPT.apk for Sprint, correct? [A way to check is to go to your dial pad and type a dial code such as ##786#]
If it does that would be good in-case they want you to reset any of the communication information via the dialer.

If you're using Google Voice, check your settings. Text sometimes gets de-selected when installing the app/ switching roms.

[Q]current ****ty service by T-Mobile?

Ok so for the past, say 4 - 5 hours I've had no service at all. I've done restarts, taking out sim card, the basic procedures. But that's only a temporary fix. Now I'm stuck using WiFi to get calls and I can't text. Anyone else having service problems?
I live in NY if anyone was wondering.

Have you tried calling Tmobile first before you posted here?
Could be a network outage or something.
Just a though.
Yeah, around 2am-3.30am I had no data connection and the service kept dropping. I was sending texts at the time and they never go through until it found service and kept dropping it all the time. Now it's normal though.
I'm in NYC also
North Carolina here, and no data. Been off for a few hours now. Same on all our phones..Gonna wait a bit before calling T-Mobile as I am sure they know and are working on it.
I post here before I call T-Mobile.

Ummmmm, just FYI, middle of the night is when ALL cell carriers do their system work (minimal users on the net). Sooooo, could be that?

Unable to receive texts

My NS4G is unable to receive texts. I can send them but can't receive any. I've pulled the battery and still nada. I also tried different carriers and its all of them o can't receive from. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Sprint has been having a nation wide issue with Text Messaging for the last couple of days and they are working on fixing it currently.
Years I thought that too and called sprint. They said that isn't the case. All towers are OK in my area.

Do you use Google voice? If so check your settings.

I do and did. They aren't even in my online voice history. Very weird.

OMG I thought I was the only one with this problem.......
It just started for me yesterday in the afternoon. What's weird is they actually started working for a second after I did a hard reset, and they stopped. For me, it is also cross-network. When my friend texts me through his Nexus S 4G I get his texts just fine.
I was just about to head to the Sprint store to ask about this.....glad this was posted so I don't have to waste the gas lol
Hard reset helped, as did a re-flash.

Sprint Cannot Send MMS

The issue has been happening to me recently (as well as my girlfriend, also on Sprint) that we cannot send MMS messages.
My phone is an Epic 4g Touch on AOKP and rooted, hers is a Nexus S 4g running stock.
No idea what is causing the issue, but whenever we try to send an MMS to someone it just sits there saying "Sending..." until it possibly errors out.

You may have to set APN settings manually.Ask your service provider for the settings.
Sprint uses CDMA unless Wimax or LTE is different. Have you called Sprint tech support at all?

Duplicate Text Messages

Hi all,
I just got a Nexus 4 and am using a prepaid T-Mobile Sim with the 100 minutes unlimited data/messaging plan. Everything is working great except I am receiving duplicate text messages most of the time someone messages me. I was wondering if there is an APN setting or something else I can do to try and fix this annoyance. Was wondering if anyone else was having this issue.
Thanks.
My friend had this same issue.
The way we fixed it was power off the phone, take out the sim, power back up, leave the phone for 5 min, and then power back off.
Popped the sim back in and it was fixed.
When I see them next I'll ask to check their APN to make sure.
Hope this works for you.

Is it from people who are on various networks? Sounds like it could be a problem on their end. Every once in a while I'll get duplicate texts from people on MetroPCS, or Sprint if their networks are on the fritz. So try to have people from different networks text you and see if you still have the problem,

Seems to happening when Verizon users are sending messages to me.

Same problem with T-Mobile germany... Senders are in different networks. I am receiving single messages up to 8 times. This happened on the i9250 nexus before, too. Same number, different sim card, different phone. Maybe related to cyanogenmod 10.0/10.1, as i never experienced that issue in stock. (To be honest, i was never long in stock Rom). The Problem occurs most times Ehen the phone is rebooted, or comes out of flight mode.
Which roms are you using ?

Just stock everything at the moment.

In general it's usually because of the sending party. Did you port your number also as that does cause it most of the time?
Nope, i just got a new sim card from my provider. I am a t-mobile customer for 14 years now, and never ported that number to another carrier.

Not sure if you have noticed this, but it seems to happen when I briefly lose service. When I get signal back I have noticed that is when I am getting the duplicates. I've only been on T-Mobile for a few days after I ported my number from Verizon.

AW: Duplicate Text Messages
I made a support ticket @t-mobile germany. They told me, that this must be a bigger problem related to the network itself. The next time it happens they want me to call them and provide time of failure and number of sender to them.
But, it didn't happen again, yet.

How do you fix it? I ported my number from verizon but it just recently started happening (maybe the last few weeks),. Using PA, most updated version.

Not getting text messages

For some reason it seems I can't get text messages. I could make calls, send text messages, go on 3g and 4g lte and I could even send SMS. But whenever someone texts me I can't receive it.
I have tried updating my prl and profile even that won't fix it. I could really use some advice....

Other than what you stated that you have already tried...I dont have a clue. Sprint could be in the process of upgrading towers in your area which typically does wreck all kinds of havoc. Call customer care and check if that should be the case. If not, try clearing cache for messaging.

This has been happening for more than two weeks. And my HTC one on the same network can receive texts just fine. Since i'm rooted i've been switching to different roms to see if I could finally relieve texts. I went from Sacs custom rom to CM 10.2 and I just flashed stock rooted MF9 but I still cant receive texts. I'm thinking about restoring back to stock to check if text's work. Any suggestions?

Call Sprint and ask them to re-provision/activate your phone. This resets the recognition of your phone to the neighbouring Sprint towers.
You might want to flash back to a stock ROM before doing so.. Just in case they ask you to do something on your end.
