Any Fixes on "Failed" when sending an SMS? (already searched and I tried master resets)
using the Samsung Vibrant's stock SMS app, I will often find the speech bubble when sending an SMS turning grey and instead of a timestamp it shows "Failed" and an Envelope with exclamation mark wind up in the notification bar.
I have to long press and click resend. However, sometimes it won't resend it just goes right back to "failed" over and over. I have also had all messages fail. this can be in full 3g signal, low edge signal, or in between so it wasn't no service. it's weird. its like it only tries once to send the text and if it doesn't go thru right away its shot.
I don't like Handcent/Chomp as they seem to act funny for me and I don't think the SMS issue happens any less.
It's happened to me a few times as well, usually i just restart the phone or give it a couple of min and retry it. Not sure what the cause is or how to fix it atm.

Used to get that a lot on my g1. Only seen a couple fail on my vibrant.

I am currently having this problem and its quite annoying
Got that all the time on my previous android devices such as myctouch 3g and the nexus one. I'm pleased that it doesn't happen very often on the vibrant to me. Best solution is to either wait a few minutes, or reboot.

When that happens I go into airplane mode then turn airplane mode back off and it lets me send messages again

I tried this and it still doesnt work
it happens to me randomly. it does failed to send on 3g, edge, full signal, low signal, various areas, it sucks.
also experienced this daily on my G1 and occasionally on the Vibrant.. annoying as **** and TMobile customer service couldn't do ****.
I have a NS4G, and I seem to be missing a lot of incoming calls. The phone doesn't ring/vibrate at all, and shows no indication of a call or a missed call. The only way I know somebody tried to call is I end up with voicemails, or people tell me that they tried calling and didn't get through.
This seems to happen even when I have a decent signal and when I can make outgoing calls just fine and even send/receive text messages. I don't think it's simply a coverage issue, because the phone is never really searching for a signal.
This has happened for certain on CM7 and Deck. I'm not sure about the stock ROM. In fact, I'm thinking of reverting back to stock just to test. If it does happen on stock, then I'm wondering if it's just something physically bad with the phone.
I have also updated my profile and PRL.
Has anybody else experienced anything similar? I don't seem to drop calls or have sporadic signal strength or anything like that.
Yes, i've noticed the same thing. Do you have a google voice integrated account? I'm wondering if that might be the common factor.
I've had to go and make sure that the GV app logs missed calls in case this happens.
Are you guys on the new radio?

Good point, I haven't noticed this since I updated the radio and to 2.3.5 stock, so it might have been fixed. I'll keep an eye out if it continues.
I am on the new radio. In fact, I seem to have the problem on both radios.
I am on Google Voice, by the way, and I have my cell number forward to my GV number for missed calls.
The odd thing is I don't seem to always get a missed-call notification; only one for voicemail. Then, in logging on to my GV account in the browser, it doesn't show a missed call. However, when it is working properly, and I dial my cell from a different phone, if I ignore it then I DO get a missed-call notification.
One other possible factor is I'm using an Airave at home, which is where I've noticed the problem most of the time. I'm not positive if I have experienced it outside of the home. I'll have to pay better attention.

I bet it is google voice... I really hate how it takes over my sms too.. I use it for voicemail and that's it.

I'm thinking it probably is GV too, but I wouldn't want to give up my SMS'ing from chrome extension.
You can turn it off so it doesn't take over SMS if you want and just lets you use the stock app all the time.
I don't have GV using SMS right now. Perhaps I'll disable the forwarding temporarily to see if that solves it.

If your on the new radio and using an airave you may miss calls if not connected to wifi. Im having that problem on the new radio. Ill have full bars but if i call my phone it goes straight to voicemail with no notification at all.

It happens when I'm on wifi too, unfortunately.
I was about to just disable GV, but then realized the NS4G doesn't get the regular Sprint Visual Voicemail app! Now what do I do??

You can use google voice for only voicemail. I have that setup and it works great. it even transcribes the voicemails to text
Unfortunately, I'm missing some calls using that setup. :-(
tmobile nexus s with gv deactivated
I have a T-Mobile nexus s on 2.3.4 stock, I'm missing a lot of calls and so is my wife, I've deactivated TV but it didn't change anything
Wondering if anybody else out there is encountering this! Trying to figure out whether or not it's a hardware issue.
I have ns4g and a use GV and when somebody calls my number, GV rings my nexus and my other phone with verizon, so I can say that the problem is not GV, most of the times only rings my other phone and the nexus nothing, the problem is the phone with a very weak radios, wifi/3g, and the poor service of sprint and is getting worst and worst.
Im having same problem on T-Mobile Nexus S but only when I'm on 3G .

I've had this happen to me on the Stock rom, and Deck, and I don't use GV at all for anything. Happens when the phone is sleeping usually, if it's lit up, the call won't get missed. I've really not spent the time to research it as I don't use the phone much anyway.
I also noticed problems with incoming and outgoing texts being either delayed or not sent at all. I rigged up a little test.
I scheduled a text message to be sent to my phone every minute with the current time in the message. Then I would just keep an eye/ear out on my phone while it sat on my desk. For the majority of the time, I would get the alert every minute, but sometimes there would be nothing for five or more minutes. After this outage, it seemed like all of the incoming messages would be delivered at once.
During that outage, though, it seemed like that was when the phone calls had trouble getting through. I guess it makes sense that there would be a connection between the two.
I had the same problem. I even had people tell me that they got a recording saying the call couldn't be completed. I was even testing the other day and no calls I made to the phone were connection, going straight to voice mail.
I decided to disable google voice and my issues went away, as well as all the delayed SMS and failed sending SMS problems I was having.
Hi there,
I've encountered this weird problem on my rooted Nexus 4. Let's say I enter a phone number to call. When I hit the "call" icon,
1) the phone number is called
2) the call (which hasn't yet been established) is disconnected immediately. This happens in a split of a second. I actually shot a video and then played it frame by frame to actually figure out what's happening.
3) and finally the call is made as usual. Everything is normal from this point on.
This happens for every outgoing call. Same thing happens if I choose a number from the contact list to dial.
I tried uninstalling the apps that I was suspicious about but it didn't help. I also booted in safe mode but I could still observe the problem.
I'd really appreciate any help. I'm more than willing to try something to get a log, trace, etc. to help in identifying my problem. I just don't know how to do that.
Cheers,
--Salem

My Boss's new Galaxy S4 is dialing on its own. Has happen 3 different times and one of the times it even called 911. Also Motion (I believe that is what it is called) is turned off.
Has anyone ran into this issue??
Thanks
The only thing I could think of is something pressing the phone and opening up the emergency dialer it has happened to me before even when the phone is locked it'll open up the emergency dialer at times where you can make like 911 calls

That was my first question to him. It was just sitting on the counter when it happened. The second time it happened he actually took a video of it the digits going across the screen.... "Ghost in the Machine"?? lol
