Unable to receive text messages(can send out) and Voicemail. - EVO 4G General

Hello everyone...a little important matter to me. Has anyone rooted through "Revolutionary" with their Evo and experienced the following symptoms (BTW im unrooted now so these issues followed my after going stock again)...
1.Unable to receive text messages but can successfully send text messages out ( I called Sprint and they could not fix this)
2.Unable to retrieve Voice mails ( I called Sprint and they reset my VM system so im getting them now but im not receiving notifications for them I have to manually call the VM *2 number to listen to them).
3.Camera and camcorder do not work properly...yes they work however if im recording or taking a picture in portrait mode the phone doesnt seem to recognize this and the layout stays in landscape mode. (I havent told Sprint about this issue as I just realized it after I took it in to a local Sprint store and the tech told me he found this issue...i believe he also realized i had previously rooted the phone however they are still sending me a replacement phone today (free of charge).
Main thing is I would love to root my phone again however under these circumstances it would be difficult for me to just root it knowing these same problems can occur again. I love Sense 3.0-3.5 and going back to using a 2.3 UI is not somthing I would wish on anyone else...If anyone here has a solution or has gone through or is still going through these problems please i beg you..respond to this post or PM me. my UN is drewskee. I need advice and I want to use a ROM. Much thanks to anyone who can help or atleast relate. ..and i have checked all over Google to find an answer and theres nothing solid out there...ive tried a bunch of stuff ..and as you can see i had to make my final decison to just unroot andthat didnt work so im hoping this community can lend a hand, Thanks everyone.

MMS FIX
Use to work as Tier 2/3 Tech Support, so I have a few tricks for you to try. After flashing skip all tutorials, syncs, and setups. Update profile immediately followed by prl. If unable to do so, power down phone and pull battery (soft reset), power up and update profile and prl. If still doesnt update, boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and try again.
Remember these simple rules: MMS is dependent on signal strength. If you have a problem with text and updating profile and prl, its because of signal strength. If your roaming and have a poor signal, none of these features will work.

^^^This! I made that mistake once, didn't update.

Cyanogenmod - cannot phone my phone, no SMS alerts...

Hi Everyone, I have searched for an answer to my problem but cannot find anything.
I have upgraded my G1 to Cyanogen, and everything works fine except I get no notifications to text messages, they just arrive, with nothing to tell me they have arrived.
Another problem is when I call my phone, it rings once and then gives an engaged tone. There is nothing coming up on the phone to say I have a call, however it does put the call in my missed call list...
I have checked GSM call settings but all forwarding is disabled.
I have just upgraded to the latest cyanogenmod with the updater software, however I still have the same problem.
Another thing that doesnt seem to work is the home button, and camera button, and the phone no longer locks.
I am at a loss for what to try, apart from trying to flash the phone back to its original state.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When you did the update did you wipe first? You can fix your problem, but you need to wipe your phone. So wipe, then reaaply the update. This does happen to people from time to time, and I've yet to see the direct cause or solution. A possibility is something in the dalvik-cache.

Weird notification message at certain times on my original MyTouch 3g

Hey guys i have a Tmobile original MyTouch 3g phone rooted w/ CyanogenMod 5.0.8. I keep getting a notification message towards the bottom of the screen that says "It seems your device is not compatible. We owe you an apology. Would you be kind enough to contact us...."
Today in the morning I woke up and all my Messages were wiped out. My desktop wallpaper was changed. Did Tmo push out an OTA update that screwed up some info on my phone? BTW I am also not getting incoming calls but I can make outbound calls and internet works fine.
Sounds like you got a virus!
All jokes aside, that's weird, try re-flashing CM 5.0.8 from recovery without doing a wipe, and see if it fixes your problem (obviously the number one priority is being able to make calls). If not, try doing a full wipe and re-flashing the ROM.

***EPIC - NEED HELP TXT MESSAGING, BLUETOOTH, QIK for EB13 *PLEASE!

OK I need help and serious input since these are the things I use the most. I will give you a little history also. On 0:00 Tuesday 02/22/2011 I downloaded samsung update for EB13. I flashed the phone, and everything went well even the one-click-root-2.5.5. So with my issues appearing I researched and seen many others had issues not like mine. I called Sprint they had me do a hard reset on my phone. Still the issues are a not real bad but I had having to restart my phone 6 or 7 times a day. I even went to the store and the rep said there were no so called "quote issues with the EPIC cause he has one". I need my phone re-flash. I told him I did that. He said have a hard reset done to it. I did it the day after the I flashed it. I told him I still have issues and no one has been able to help me. He said take the phone back and get a new one then. His name is Mike at the Sprint Store on Oleander Dr Wilmington, NC. Lots of help Mike. Just admit the software is sh*t like the phone reps did on the phone. Re-flashing and a hard reset is something I already did, and removed alot of useless app, from the guide on switch apps to remove. So PLEASE someone come up with some mods or ideas to help me. PLEASE. I got no clue on this.
1. Txt messaging. After an hour of non use when trying to send a txt. The txt hangs. I tried de-activating and a signal refresh. Dont work. Only fix is re-start the phone, and re-send the txt.
2. Bluetooth. After non use for an hr Bluetooth says it is still connected. When calls comes in however it is not connected. I have to manual connect, or if no call, I have to do a signal refresh. Not even turning off bluetooth works. The Sprint rep says it is the only work around they have and know about it.
3. QIK. Ok Qik on 2.1 used do a portrait on the front camera. Now it records only as landscape, but shows as portrait. I spoke to Sprint about this also and they said it some I am going to have to deal with. I drive alot to job to job, so I dont have alot of time to play with settings.
bluetooth problems?
i have flashed the eb13 froyo onto my epic with the eb13 supernova,genocide .3a kernal and everything seems to be almost perfect except i still can not give voice commands over my bluetooth ....it will activate, say speak now and then it will disconnect before i can even give a command...if there is a fix for this please let me know...thanks
Txt messenging found
I found the same issue and a fix for it other than reboot. This was found back in July on another phone and carrier but with Android 2.2 Froyo. So this issue is with the OS its self.
A. Settings menu
B. Applications menu
C. Manage Applications
D. Messaging app
E. Force Close button

Re: Android 2.2 text message problem
Fixed it!!! In case anyone else out there is having the same problem, the way I fixed it was by going to the Settings menu from the home screen, then to the Applications menu, then to Manage Applications, then to the Running tab, then to the Messaging app with the icon that Andriod uses for the text function. Then I clicked on the Force Close button. Now it sends text message with no problem. Go figure.
Back up your data with MyBackup Root, use Odin to restore full, clean EB13, then use the Market or AppBrain to reinstall your apps, and your backup to restore only the data for those specific apps. That will solve almost all problems related to the OTA update, including yours, OP.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But he used the .exe...
I think he mightve removed something by accident...was the "apps safe to remove" thread updated for EB13?

Thanks everyone for replying with some needed input and issues of your own. I do think I can live with the messaging app since I found a temp fix for it(force close). I also believe I can live with Qik recording in landscape, even though it was not designed that way for the front camera. However I cannot live the issue of Bluetooth. I need as I will never put a touch screen phone to my ear or listen to it on speaker, like some of these dumb a$$ doing this walking around in public. I drive from job to job and it is very difficult for me to play with setting while driving. NC is becoming a handsfree cell phone state like so many others, and there is no txting while driving at all. It is a dangerous thing to do. I have read older posts from other phone that received 2.2 much earlier in the year and I believe that is OS is $hit. However 2.1 does not have Bluetooth activated command dialing.
*So for you people that are catching up, I did install from the exe and seemed to work fine and even after I rooted with a clockworkmod 2.5.1 recovery. I even did a hard reset with Sprint. I did not removed any important applications as mobile hotspot is this there. I have not upgraded to any new kernel, or rom. These issues are minor, but a major inconvenience. Bluetooth will work for awhile, but then with a call comes in after a hr of rebooting I have to connect manually after it has been paired. ""Sprint said that this was a issue known in the OS, but I am wondering if anyone has found a kernel or mod to correct this issue?""
Why not back it up and then go into cwm and clear the cache/DCache and then run the .exe without removing ANYTHING and see if your problems persist?
If they don't, then take out an .apk one at a time until you find the one that breaks your functions...

Need Opinions And Thoughts Please

Ok ive been pulling my hair out for a while with this problem so im really hoping you guys can give me some answers or suggestions to help me fix it My Girlfriend has the Galaxy S5 SM-G900V. Baseband version G900VVRU2BOG5 So rooting or custom ROMS is out of the question so that leaves me with trying to diagnose and eliminate this problem without a easy way out.
Ok the problem is once she updated the phone to lollipop she had all the common problems that come with it over time i have slowly eliminated them with factory resets and cache cleaning and such although i have one problem that not even verizon can figure out. The phone itself with occassionally and randomly just refuse to make or receive calls its a very odd problem because the phone will send and receive sms and mms just fine when this happens but when we try to dial out it just sits at dialing and never connects, when calls are dialed into the phone it will ring 5 times or so then go to voice mail or just go straight to voicemail altogether without ever ringing the s5 shows no sign of anyone ever trying to call at all no ringing no records nothing. Once in a blue moon it will ring 4 times on the dial in and then the s5 will start ringing around the 5th ring which is extremely long time IMO. This happens very randomly and in all different locations i have disabled call blocking and auto reject i have tried safe mode to only experience the same problems, i have factory reset several times. Verizon opened a ticket with there tier 2 techs and network development team to check out the issue they tell us everything is completely fine and theres nothing they can see wrong. But they do not deny the problem is there they just cant explain it. Now get this, This is the second phone that has done this to her Ther first one had the same problem and was warranty claimed this is the second phone and same exact issues. Im not sure what else i can do i am a very tech savy person and this one has got me stumped the only thing i can see thats odd for me is the phone has 3 Phone services running in the background But I believe this may have something to do with the Touchwiz Easy Or Regular Home UI althought im not sure why it would use seperate apps. Anyway any input would be helpful Thanks

HELP. 6P not receiving texts/BLANK SMSC

To start, I'm on Android 7.0 using the September security patch and am rooted.
Never had an issue with this phone before. Ever since yesterday morning I have not been able to receive anyone's text messages. I'm not sure about MMS but I haven't gotten any of those either. The weird thing is that I can SEND texts just fine....and I can also send text messages to myself and they come through.
After digging and researching I accessed that hidden settings menu by typing *#*#4636#*#* into my dialer and looking at the SMSC number which should be for Tmobile, my provider, +12063130004. However, it's blank and I'm unable to change it. Hitting "update" gives me an "update error" in the field and if I hit refresh I get "+12063130004",145 with the quotes and the 145. If I hit update from there and reboot it's still blank. If I put in +12063130004 and reboot it's still blank.
I have data, I can make and receive calls and surf the web. So far I've tried switching sms apps to no avail. I'm currently using google messenger. I've tried removing the sim and placing it back in. I went in to TWRP wiped cache, dalvich cache and data and it did nothing. Finally I reverted to a nandroid I made about a month ago when sms was working fine and it's still not working.
I'm out of ideas fellas. At my wit's end here!
Oh, I should also let you know that I think this all started when my girlfriend sent me a text message that i received yesterday morning. It was the last text I was able to get......she's on a cruise so she sent it somewhere near mexico....I think it made my phone have a massive brain fart and I'm not sure how to fix this bug. Please help!!
No one? I've found nothing on the web..
This may sound obvious, but have you tried using a factory image to return to stock?
Sounds like you've done everything but that.
I suppose you could also try deleting your APN and manually entering a correct one for your carrier. That's helped me in the past on other devices when I've had weird data/service issues.
Funny you asked. I did a full wipe and returned to stock on the latest November build. Still a no go. People still get my texts and I can still use data/make and receive calls fine. I'll try the APN suggestion now.
As far as APN's go, I tried to reset them to default. I even tried deleting all of them except for the one I was using which in the past for other devices helped with certain issues. I then created a custom APN setting that I found on the 6p forum that helped other users with SMS/MMS issues....no help for me.
I can still send SMS,mms, make and receive phone calls. No idea what to do!!!
I have a similar but different issue. I can receive messages just fine. But sometimes when i send messages id say about 40% of the time my message gets stuck at the "sending" and it takes sometimes up to 10min for it to send. I can speed the process up if i go to the secret menu and toggle the radio off and on.
Im on ATT BTW. I thought it had something to do with ATT shutting down the 2G network and the phone getting confused as to which network to send messages on but im no expert its just a theroy.
PS. I had this problem pop out of nowhere. Had it start randomly on PN6 (last build) so i upgraded to PN7 same thing on 2 different versions of the ROM. And now im on SuperAx 7.1 and still have the issue.
Ive always had problems with Nexus's and messages. When i had the Nexus 5 i actually had to warranty it out because MMS all of a sudden would not work at all.
I received one text today from someone. That's it. Not getting all the missed sms messages and not getting any additional sms messages.
