I'm thinking this is a Sprint issue, but...
About 30 minutes ago, I started getting flooded with SMS notifications. Every SMS I've gotten in the past 24 hours is now showing up as unread - some with the original timestamp, some with a new timestamp. It finally stopped a couple of minutes ago... for now.
Not a fun way to wake up.
same here!!!
in San Diego and i got a couple also
ps..people are also receiving ur texts as well!!!..its making me look stupid!
Oh...yes I remember this use to be an issue with the OG droid after an update its happened on various different phones as well as carriers unfortunately I can't remember what the fix was.. dang.

And this isn't the first time this has happened. A few weeks ago, I got 38 text messages and 2 voicemails in a matter of minutes, roughly around 4 am. I don't really remember the time because I was passed out drunk.
any airave users in here? i have this problem intermittenly and sprint always blames it on my airave.

Im in the Chicago area and the same thing happened to me....I was like "WTF is texting me at 4 in the morning!?" I received 6 text messages that had been sent the DAY BEFORE! They all had proper time/date stamps on them....
I am truly fed up with sprints poor service and excuses, like the one person mentioned above....Sprint got a whole lotta nerve blaiming the AIRAVE for any of our problems (as if they have nothing to do with the device...LMAO). Its bad enough that they are PIGGY BACKING off of our internet (which we pay for) to make up for their lack of a cellular signal (which we also pay for).
Never had ANY of these problems when I was with us cellular....the only reason I left was because I am a GADGET WHORE and us cellulars phones SUCK DONKEY BALLS! Its a shame too because I had me eye set on that new Kyocera Echo.....
But I cant take the dropped calls and poor service any more. (It sucks having to APOLOGIZE constantly to my friends, family and business associates for missing their calls and messages)
I was having the same issue messages failing to go through and.then being.bombarded with already read messages thought it was my phone but guess it was a network issue

Same sort of issues for me, too. I've had a lot of people angry at me for waking them up from a picture or text that I "sent" at a time when I myself wasn't conscious...
With me, it happens more often with pictures than texts. People are still getting St. Patty's Day pictures from me that they've already received and have been receiving since that night.
I don't know what's at fault, but I'm on EB13 OTA and I don't remember this kind of stuff happening before that. I also sometimes have problems getting sms to send since that update.
Same thing in metro detroit. Got a bunch of texts around 4

I haven't sent our received any old texts, but current texts are showing up on my wifes phone as way off on the time stamp. She gets them right after I send them.

So I got my first shift on launch day. I was so excited to get away from my Moment. I got it from best buy and got the Black tie protection. I thought I got black tie in conjunction with the sprint insurance. Less than a month later, I drop the phone in the sink and take it to BB. They send it off to their repair ctr and I'm stuck with the Moment for 3 weeks before I get a new Shift. 3 weeks is a long time to wait for a phone, so I cancel the best buy insurance (thinking I still had sprint's.)
Then less than a month later, my down volume rocker stops working and i take the phone to the sprint store. Turns out, best buy canceled the sprint insurance and so not only do they not repair/replace the phone, they take pictures of the broken solder points on the volume rocker, circle them, and show me exactly where the hardware defect is that they wont fix! So I call Assurion pissed about this and get my insurance reinstated.
A couple weeks later, I take my phone to another sprint repair center and they tell me that my phone has been added to a "Do not repair" list and that they cant do anything about it. Furious again about this situation, I call sprint and they give me some crap about how the insurance didnt start til after the phone was placed on the list, so they cant fix the phone.
So I gave up. I cancelled the insurance again and just used the phone on vibrate all the time. Well, last week, my screen shattered and I was just gonna buy a new screen and fix it and the broken solder on the motherboard at one time. they wont fix it anyway right? But then my fiance suggested that I call sprint and complain again.
Well I did, and this time told them that as soon as the Nexus Prime came out, I would be leaving sprint (to whom I have been a loyal customer since 2001) for verizon and now all of a sudden, they're apologizing for the way they treated me. The rep said that they cant fix the shift because it was on the Do-not-repair list, but he could give me a brand new Epic Touch for $30 and I was still eligible for my upgrade in January.
Moral of the story is, Buy a case for your phone.
Either way you look at it, its time for an upgrade... Go with what makes you happy pal,, best of luck to you

Omg that hella sucks balls. They gave me that phone at bestbuy for a loaner while they tried to fix my hero. Then the refurb hero came in and it was stuck to a bad esn so they gave me a new shift. That sammy inter sucked worse then my hero ever did. I dont see any way in hell bb or sprint could send you an inny for a shift! This phone rocks way more socks. If you "paid" $30 bones for that i would raise hell worse then a nercomancer! Hope all ends and pays off for you and you took names and employee numbers!

Call Sprint raise Hell, and the mention the "V" word. They hate hearing that. Seems like once you mention Verizon, it changes their attitude. Well at least that's my experience .

Damn....I'm sorry. Call sprint, tell them you want to cancel and they"ll send you to 'rententions' (or they used to anyway, coulda changed in the past few years) and raise hell. You can prob squeeze out some major concessions if you mention verizon a few times

Well now we know why it was only $30 . sorry though thats horrible. my mother has the intercept and if she didn't need a phone i'd chunk it out the windows, skip it like a rock in the pond, and see if it would work as a speed bump for cars.
It's possibly the worst phone sprint carries "not to discourage the fun times you'll have with it"
but I would call sprint and (like everyone else said) raise hell as much as you can. hopefully you did take notes and kept track of this. and like prboy said make sure you mention Verizon that'll get em to do something.
I feel for ya, me and that phone hate each other, and even the custom roms and kernels don't help that much.
I kept complaining about my fascinate and how many problems I've been having. I was trying to get them to give me a free upgrade without signing a contract...just changing the phone. Unfortunately, I ran out of warranty (which I completely forgot to think about). Verizon finally decided to give me a manager's upgrade on all 4 of my lines. I think they called it an M2 upgrade.
This means that I can upgrade a year and a half early (but i'd need to sign a new 2 year contract).
They won't let me upgrade to any apple phone, but I can upgrade to a 3g or a 4g phone of my choice. They said something about "Iconic" phones, and how it takes a while longer before they can let me upgrade to an iconic phone.
Does anyone have experience with these sort of upgrades? Was what was offered to me worth all of the complaining I did? Would you guys recommend waiting until the Nexus Prime, upgrading my lines to that, and the selling it on ebay to get any other phone I want..(2 lines will have the iphone 4s, two will stay with either the fascinate or the prime). And also. Does anyone know what the deal on the Iconic phone upgrade is? How long does the phone need to be out for?
Let me know if you guys have any questions about how I got the upgrades as well.
What was wrong with your fascinate?

Lots of problems with GPS lock. I'm the only one who roots / flashes new roms / kernels. Out of the 4 fascinates we have, 3 of them would not lock.
We also had problems with voicemails showing up but no missed calls. Pretty irksome to be expecting a call and then notice you had a voicemail from the person you were waiting on an hour later.
And I kinda just wanted to upgrade
i got a free Droid Charge without having to renew my account. working on the same for the wifes phone. my Charge will be here tuesday. no problems with the GPS on either of our fascinates but plenty of missed calls and text.

my problem was my warranty expired about a week ago,
was your phone still under warranty?
Ok so this is like the 3rd freaking time this has happened. My billing cycle reset on the 6th and my data didnt get reset. So now im throttled 11gb out of 10gb. Wtf is the deal Tmobile?? I called them but they gave me the run around and made a trouble ticket. That was 2 days ago and the problem is still happening. Web is so freaking slow that most everthing is timing out! Why do I pay $60 a month for data that is screwed? Im so fed up I am about to cancel my service!

call them and tell them that, try to stay calm but be firm and annoyed, as I'm sure you are. They will redirect you where you need to go, probably give you some kind of credit to keep you. They are desperate to retain customers so you can get what you want and they will keep you happy within reason
Sounds like they're getting back at your for going without the throttling previously. I kid I kid. Although that really is strange though.

Funny guy here! Dont think so! Already called them again but didn't really get any where! Made another trouble ticket. Told them that I was going to cancel but they didn't seem to care. Maybe if I talked to someone in America I might get some where. Instead of someone that hardly speaks good english. I mean come on already.

Don't give up till they fix it. This is clearly a problem on their end and they have the obligation to correct it. Cancel if you have to.

It's happened to me before. They have TWO servers that read your data usage. On on their "back end" systems and, one that, connects to my.T-mobile.com and that stupid My Account, app. If they don't fix it, tell them you want a $50 credit on your account AND, THEN (still, even if they give you the credit) FILE A REPORT WITH THE FCC saying that this is the third time this had happened, and, because of a glitch in T-mobile's system not only, did you pay full price for a month of data that you didn't get BUT YOUR PHONE IS ALL BUT UNUSABLE FOR DATA INTENSIVE APPS.

Called back today and told them I wanted to cancel both of my lines and guess what. I told them im sick of my phone being throttled after my new billing cycle. So I want to cancel service. And they said hold on for a min. Then Tech Support got on the phone and said try using data now. And guess what? They FIXED the issue right then. WTF?? It was that easy for them to fix. And I sat here for almost 4 days with crap data service and they fixed the issue that easy. You got to be fcking kidding me. Why have me wait around for days to get the issue fixed if they could hit a button and fix it so fast! Now thats some bs. Why even make trouble tickets then. Man people these days!

You pretty much have to threaten to cancel before they'll expedite fixing a problem nowadays. Ah, customer service.

They didn't turn off their godawful image compression when I threatened to go to AT&T, so I guess they're not that desperate.
My data usage didnt reset either. Im on TMOBILE.
Im currently at 2.9 GB out of 5GB still. I may just continue until i hit the limit and then call in for a reset.

I'm probably a bit late to this post, (nearly 5 years) but my billing period always ends on the 15th, but I get my data back 12AM on the 23rd.
I picked up my G2 a few days ago at Best Buy and I didn't have any problems with it until I started to notice on calls at times the audio coming in would get distorted for a second and go back to normal even though I have fairly good signal. I'm asking if i should take it back and get a new one or if this is something known about or maybe a software issue.

I have also been wondering the same thing.
It has been spotty for me. People cant hear me, I cant hear them etc.
I think I might get it exchanged for a new 1. Im still within my return period. If it happens again I will go to the N5 or something. I really like this phone tho..

I am on my 2nd one and still having same issue. So a return might not help you. I have spent a lot of time on phone with sprint. They reset my network, hard and soft resets, and their answer is network issues. I get a popping and slight occaisional static on my end of call, other end hears me fine.. I have a 3rd seperate one besides my returned two and that one is fine. What I have noticed is if I roam, my calls are crystal clear, unfortunately I can't force a constant roam. I love the phone so I am gonna stick with it. Possibly the processor and sprint not behaving nicely? I am in the New York area, where are you guys?

I am not an expert, but do read the forums a lot and a bunch of Verizon users had same issue and now sprint customers are starting with same problem. Both CDMA, so possibly, yes, software related.
All of you, Please call Sprint & make them aware so they can fix this. I already let them know as this is my 2nd one & it exhibits the same problems.
I travel between Dorchester and Malden MA most often and I get the same issue. I tried all sorts of things. I did a chat with tech support and a phone call. They setup an appt for me in a corporate store and the tech just dismissed and imediately said it's a network issue with ALL of the newer Sprint phones. He mentioned the S3, S4 and of course the G2 (how convenient) as well as the Note 3. Mind you my daughter just got an S3 a month ago and her phone is fine. The tech just kind of left it at that but suggested he try a network reset with no guarantees of course. He also suggested I try roaming of a GSM carrier (he said we aren't charged for roaming). He also said if it does it when roaming then I should bring it back (I assume then he would actually do real troubleshooting. So I left the store and was in the area for about an hour and things got progressively worse. I ended up going back and the manager switched it out right away. So far the new one sounds pretty good. Time will tell.

This was a problem with the note 3 when released on sprint as well "Problem:
*
Voice quality on a connected call is garbled, with intermittent popping, morphing, cracking." I found that a few minutes ago. Same exact issues, both phones have same processor, sprint sent out a patch and it resolved issue for those phones. I have called sprint and been to two stores, returned one, got another with same issue. People need to speak up to sprint forum on sprints site, so they realize we are having same issue and hopefully they fix it soon. CSR s in sprint are useless, a manager at a corporate store said to me " I haven't sold a g2 yet, so I can't justify problem you are having " [email protected]#$ng great answer. I wanted to punch her out of her chair. Hopefully we all can be at ease soon.
I went to the corporate store on Boylston St, near Copley. FYI, the tech that paid attention advised me that the tower near the Pru is having problems so don't walk that way and expect to use your phone. Not only will it sound like **** but you'll drop calls too.
So far with the replacement phone, I've only had the issue a couple times

I've called Sprint about the issue to let them know and I've called Geek squad because of my warranty with Best buy and Geek squad just told me to get it replaced and I think that's what I'm going to do, if it's something that can be fixed with a software update this one should act the same right?
