Unable to receive texts - Nexus S General

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.

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.

Anyone's phone not ringing?

Hey guy, I have the N4 for tmobile and I have had problems with people calling and not getting though it just sends them straight to voice mail and not pop up to notify me and not ring but when I call out the voicemail pop's up. Anyone having this problem?

I am having this issue as well. It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen

Yeah, I think it happens mostly when I leave it alone for a bit.

Bump. Anyone else have this problem? Sometimes I don't get texts and calls go straight to voicemail, I have to restart my phone and that fixes it for a while. It happens randomly. Haven't figured out a pattern yet.
I have had this happen a couple times on both of my Nexus 4 devices.
I have had this happen in the morning. Not sure if it is carrier dependent. I am with Wind.
Yeah happend to me twice !
Same here, T-Mobile in Florida

I'm on T-Mo in VA and the latest CM10.1 nightly and it seems like my phone almost never rings. I am constantly getting "Missed call" notifications. And despite having Google Voice installed, the only messages I get are from the T-Mo VM. Weird....
This has been happening to my wifes Nexus 4 but not mine. It usually only happens in the mornings when the phone has been sitting for a while, after she restarts it, it seems to work fine. Does anyone know a fix for this???
This was happening to me a lot at first, I went to tmobile and got a new mini sim card b/c i cut my old one down and know it seems fine b/c im not waking up to voice mails and no miss calls.

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.

Nexus 6p Gold Edition on Sprint Network (Incoming Call Issue)

Hey guys,
Quick question. Has any SPRINT user been successful in activating and using the nexus 6p gold edition? I purchase one and was able to activate it just fine. However, I am unable to receive calls. I have tried everything and also went to a sprint store and they can't seem to get it to work either. I have tried multiple SIM cards with same issue. I recently purchased a 64GB silver edition and it works just fine. So I am curious to see if anyone else has been able to get the GOLD edition to work properly?
Thank you
I do not have the issue nor do I have the gold model but I'd update Prl and reboot and see if it still does it. If so I'd try flashing factory image via fastboot.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Thank you for your help. I have updated the PRL with no success. Also, I have re-flashed the stock 6.0.1 Build MMB29Q with no luck.
I loaded CM13 and the phone actually seemed to operate a little better. I received calls at first but about 1 hour later i stopped receiving calls.
One thing I should add...If I put the phone in 3g mode (turning LTE off) while running the stock 6.0.1 rom I receive calls just fine. It is only when I am connected to LTE that I do not receive calls. I can make calls, browse the web, and send text just fine.

There were people on Nexus 6 who experienced this same exact thing a few months ago. That's the device I owned prior to 6p. I never had the issue but I recall some people over on the Sprint Nexus 6 thread talking about this same thing. I'd check there for sure.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Yeah.
It's very aggravating. I've tried everything I can think of. I purchased another nexus 6p silver which works fine but the screen has a terrible pinkish hue at the top right corner. The gold edition screen is almost perfect. I was hoping I could fix the gold edition.

Like the other guy stated I have the N6 which was on Sprint but immediately after switching to Fi and using the ROM that was initially just for Fi I have never had the problem again with the same phone. I am now using the latest ROM which is independent of carrier and still problem free.
