SMS errors - EVO Shift 4G General

does anyone get SMS errors (like 107, 97, or any others)? Or "Radio interface resource shortage" errors?
I've been getting these for a week now since I got a refurbished phone. Called Sprint a half hour ago, and they reset something on their end that was supposed to help, but I just got an SMS error again, so apparently it didn't fix it. It's certainly not due to a lack of service, as I have full service. Profile and PRL are all updated. I haven't updated the android version yet due to the reports of bugs, and it not being rootable.
Any ideas? I can call and complain to Sprint again, and since this is my third Shift, I can get any other device, but I'd really rather not...I like the Shift lol

I only get SMS errors if I am texting too fast. But they still all go through.

mine seems that it drops data when a text is going, and then takes a very long time to reestablish the data connection, if it does at all

When I had stock 2.2 I was getting the same issues... I think its a sense thing... I am on nightly #124 now and I have absolutely no issues save for navigation. Then again ever since I went with AOSP over sense I've had no issues. If you want to stick with sense. Maybe try the RUU 2.2 or try the rooted GB update... unsure though

It's not sense, I know that for certain. The first two devices didn't have any service problems other than the occasional error popping up when I literally had no service while roaming

Maybe its just the one u have. Maybe like a bug or error. Try using the RUU. Maybe give it a fresh system. I've used the RUU and it doesn't have any issues. I'm just stabbing in the dark here.

tried that, twice. I rooted this one twice, put custom ROM's on, RUU'd a couple times, didn't fix it. I think if anything there's a problem with the antennas or the software controlling the interaction of the antennas. I'm getting another one on Tuesday, so hopefully that'll work better

Just shot in the dark maybe try flashing the old radio.

I get the same error, quite frequently...but only in areas of low signal. I figured it was simply that...maybe not?

I haven't had my new phone in low signal areas yet, so I'm not sure. I know my Mom's shift gets the errors quite frequently when she's at home, where signal is very weak. But I rarely got them even there. I might be out there sometime in the next few days, so I'll have to check it out.

update available but download failure

just checked for updates on my fascinate as part of my weekly routine, but it started downloading and said download failure - network error. any help. im anxiously waiting a working gps galaxy s device before i spend the money on the car mount. plese help or any ideas just let me know.
Got the same thing last night at about 2am. Now it says there are no available updates. Oh well
every time ok check for updates it seems to check for a minute or so. then it stops and I get no answer...is this normal?

hey guys turns out after i failed update about 30 times i tried some tweaking and erased the radio file. when i spoke to verizon about the problems and to get a replacement phone the rep told me the update was for 2.2 and that they been waiting for it to come out. i dont know how true this is cuz i havent seen the fireworks yet online about the update, but ill find out today when i get the replacement device.
They have been telling people for months that 2.2 was out and you will receive a notification on your phone. I was told that when I bought mine on launch day. Its commonly referred to as bull Ishmael.

I had a similar problem. My phone downloaded it but failed the install. I called Verizon and they said this is a common problem. I am getting a new (Not refurb) shipped to me within a week. No harm no foul. I'd call Verizon.
My phone failed about 10 times to get DI01, and then one time it just worked. I recommend being stationary in an area with a few bars of 3G. Even then, it's a crapshoot. It doesn't mean your phone is defective or in need of replacement.
I consider myself lucky to have gotten a phone that has so far been free of the most of the problems that have plagued many of the galaxy s phones. Gps was fantastic on my phone until I flashed super clean v4... For some reason I often, though not always, had problems with gps not locking on. Location has always been spot on right from the start. Now with dj05 the gps issue has also been non existent.
The same was true when di01 came out. The OTA update was as smooth as could be. I was not rooted at that time.

Some of us can't install though and according to the Verizon tech I called it's certain MEID numbers so it's still not a bad idea to call I would say.
When I got DI01 it got partway through downloading a zillion times before finally working.
Ive flashed back to my factory images a few times after messing around (they were pre DI01...I keep forgetting to make current ones)
Every time I update it sucks and takes 5 to 10 tries
I think the servers are just teh suck.
Do you have to be stock in order to get the update? Every time I try to check for an update I get an FC. I'm currently running Stupidfast 1.1.23 Kernel & JT's Super Clean ROM. Also, is this update worth getting now or shall I just wait?

Radio resets or something similar?

Hey guys,
So I have been running supernova 1.04 (dk28) rfs, since it was posted here on xda(didn't look up date) a month or so back. Everything has been great up to the standards we have been given so far, however recently it seems like my radio resets(chime noise, no signal sign, then signal again) a lot more often if it should at all. I thought that it might just be a jacked up cell site near my house, but its been happening at work too. The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to affect my data, voice, or wifi. I have yet to drop a call because of it. Just curious if I should worry about it being a hardware issue or just due to unfinished software/radio? Thx folks!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Might try reflashing the dk28 modem. I was having problems like that when I was running DK28. It eventually would completely crash so I ended up going back to 2.1. I could never get the FroYo leak to be completely smooth no matter what I tried.
Could this be a problem with local cell towers or is this purely phone/software issue?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Most likely a phone issue.

I am running the same rom and sometimes I hear it make a sound and when I look the signal bars are replaced with a no signal icon, it usually goes back to normal quickly.
But it did this when stock as well so I figure it is a bug in the radio driver.
I can confirm this on 2.1 as well. Can't be too sure but I think it lasted until I got a replacent Epic. It could have been the tower and a complete coincidence but the old phone did it non stop. The new one has very rarely done it on both eclair and froyo. Anyone who experiences this should consider something as well. Did it start after a prl update because it came back after my update to 60674. Lost my 3g as well. Reverting to prl 60671 fixed it but this is NOT a guaranteed fix just worked for me.

I thought that I had seen a post before about prl updates, but I wasn't sure that the two were connected. How does on go about reverting prl updates, or maybe a link on how to? Thx for the feedback guys much appriceated, as my wife says I would be lost without my "other woman" lol.

Text message from the future.

Anyone getting text messages from the future while on roaming? Is there a solution to fix this little probelm? I'd rather not have to use a 3rd party messaging app. I like the stock one. I'm running SRF 1.1.0.

It means that when he gets a text, it says its from a time later in the day. If he gets a text at 2p.m. the phone says he got it at 6 or 7 p.m.Usually only happens while roaming, and its a Samsung mms.apk problem, if you flash the aosp messaging, it doesn't have that problem.

Even while roaming, I only got a slew of "future" txts when I was out of my hometown...although it was the same time zone :-/
OTOH, I remember when it was New Year's Eve/Day with my old Touch Pro a few years back, and I got txts from 1/1/2013. I rejoiced in telling everyone that the Mayans were wrong and we wouldn't all die in the end times. :-D
respond back to that text from the future and ask the person for the result of the Game 2 Mavs vs Heat game. I would like to make me a few bets if ya know what I mean. ;P
I used to get these on my iphone lol but they would be from YEARS in the future and would be empty. ****ed with me for a bit. Ive never heard of anyone having this issue or even heard of the issue itself before. I just figured the iphone was a piece of **** later on lol

I have this problem quite often because I'm roaming at work. It happened on my old Hero as well. There are some apps in the market that have seemed to work, though they seemed hacky last I tried, and resigned to just live with it. Just now a search on the market revealed http://market.android.com/details?id=com.mattprecious.smsfix , which looks pretty good. Haven't tried it.

I was about to post about this before I read the entire thread. I had this same problem from day one with my Epic at work because the signal at my cube for either side isn't that great and I flip between Sprint & roaming on Verizon constantly without using Roam Control to force it to stay on Verizon (which is what I typically do since Verizon's signal strength is a little better comparatively where I sit).
Anyway, I discovered the SMS Time Fix app months ago and have been using it ever since...and it works *almost* flawlessly. I still get the occasional text that somehow slips past the app's resident process, but about 98% of the time it works perfectly and adjusts the timestamp on incoming texts. So I definitely suggest grabbing that and using it for anyone with this problem.

Yeah it gets annoying trying follow a conversation when all the texts are out of order. Now if I could get her to text me the winning powerball numbers.
I'll check out the aosp messaging. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah ever since ive done the update my phone randomly starts to lag it sucks bad i feel like i have my hero again :/ also the white htc screen keeps coming up when i push the home key.ive had nothing but bad issues with this gingerbread update im wondering maybe because it was a download from here i forgot who posted it i think someone with the screen name football.i dont know if it was that or what but it seems like im having issues i didnt have before if anyone has a link to a office update? Cus i already did that ruu that football posted and i cant downgrade i already know about the hboot issue so dont flame me about wanting to unroot i already know that was a fail lol
Please help!! Im so damn frustrated with this update! I do have better battery life but thats about it my gps kinda acts weird as well also my 4g seems to not connect where it used to idk?anyone have any info on how i can get it up and running like.a evo shift not a overclock hero lol
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
A lot of people has issues with the upgrade. I have a evo flashed to metropcs and I lost my mobile network. Other than that battery life is improved but sometimes screen is lagging, white htc screen takes to much time when i switch from application to home screen and camera app doesn't start sometimes till i restart the phone. so upgrade messed me up so bad too
well if you got it from here i am guessing its still rooted so i would say d/l a new rom and start over if your not rooted there not much you can do if you like stock rom use this one if not look for a different one

Gingerbread has made my "Smart Phone" essentially useless as a Smart Phone. It wasn't great with FROYO to begin with due to the interface resetting every time I used my web browser, but now after the Gingerbread update the damn phone resets after almost every app I use!
I'm on my way to the Sprint store right now. I use my phone for work and this is making it unusable for me. They at the very least need to get me back to FROYO, or it's time for an entirely different phone I suppose.
Lol cool let me know what happens with your phone and sprint i wanna take it in or call but i just havent really tried cus its software and sprint usually doesnt wanna do anything with it cus they wanna see the problem which is very hard to duplicate since the 2.3.3 starts to fail randomly lol

I had problems
I had issues with the internal clock not updating even though the sense clock read correct, constant white screens, this update should have waited a bit in my opinion.
The update bricked the CDMA radio so bad Sprint is now sending me another Shift which I should get tomorrow. This one will only do CDMA - 1xRTT and won't even go into CDMA - EvDo rev.A at all after the update. In fact, using the ##debug# dial code and selecting EVDO Engineering, this Shift reports '<Failed>' in every field. Even a Sprint network re-provision did not fix it. Since I pay the $7 per month replacement fee, I'm guessing that I should get a 'new' Shift vice a refurb hopefully. At this point I'll be happy to get EvDo rev.A back and live with the Sense reloads because 1xRTT is way too SLOW to do much of anything!
Another bug on it that annoys the sh$$ outta me is when u use the camera or camcorder it sets the brightness level all the way up.thats a reason my phone was getting kinda hot lol

Not getting SMS

I have a reoccurring issue with multiple roms. Using SS8/9 and now Shooter. I only randomly will get text messaged from any sender. I recently unrooted my phone back to factory 2.2 stock then upgraded to 2.3 and had no issues. So my problem only happens when I am running a custom rom. I should normally get alot of messages through the day as I work for a IT company that gets paged for critical issues in a hospital. Luckily I have a pager as well so I still get the messages. So far today, my pager has not stopped going off and I have yet to get a single text on my phone. I do not have google voice as I removed that a month ago on SS8 hoping to resolve the issue. Any help is appreciated.
Currently running Team Nocturnals Shooter with dodgekernel 1.6 (with and without oc)
Edit: i just flashed to stock rooted and started getting messages instantly... no clue why custom roms dont work for me
Ill look around, I thought there was an app available on the market that helped with this issue... Sprint's network is notorious for borking the delivery of sms and mms... You arent the first person to post the issue... If I find the app I'll link it for you.
Edit: I couldnt find the app... But this issue you are having is definitely a sprint network issue...

Not really...There's some network settings in the build.prop of every rom...He said the issue doen't happen on non-rooted roms.

Try a non sense rom, you probably won't have that issue anymore. If you do you probably need to update your radio after you root.

Well it is a known issue on the Sprint Network. Has been for a while, actually Srint Confirmed it several times. I really don't think switching to a Non-Sense Rom would solve the issue. Because it's still a custom Rom. I would try updating the PRL / Profile. Also the Radio as you suggested. But I don't think it's a Sense thing.

I run nothing but Sense and don't have the issue. Never do . But yes trying a different Rom will rule out certain possibilities.

You can also try calling Sprint. Have them reset your Messaging, and Data. Just make sure your on a Sense Rom if you call, just in case they ask you to access ESPT. Also, goes without saying do not tell them your rooted, or let them remote access your phone.
Ghostly sms will be your best friend man, it's a memory issue inside of Sense for "some" users so give that app a shot, hell I run it on my inspire because I'm aware of the memory issues HTC and Sense have
