I hope someone has an idea on whats going on with my phone right now. These are the facts.
Cell phones are getting the message:
"All circuits are busy now, please try your call again later. 113b"
When they try and dial into my phone. Outgoing calls are working fine, as well as data, texting, voicemails. The only issue is CELL PHONEs which seem to be in my area code calling me.
It's making the same noise as when you make a phone call and the line has been disconnected.
Im rooted right now, running Fresh 1.1. But this started happening with hte TTG rom. I did a backup to fresh to make sure that it wasnt the ROM. It isnt.
Ive called sprint and they refreshed my profile and PRL, and did a test call from thier line, and the tech's personal cell phone, and it worked fine for them. However, my fiance's phone who is right next to me is still getting the error(she's on att), a friend of mine across town is still getting the number(he's on verizon), and my mother tried calling and got the same message and she's also on verizon. The only similarity is that their all my same area code, and that they are all cell phones. But LANLINE are working in my area. I dont know.
Things i've tried:
Restarting the phone
Pulling the batt for 60s
Doing a nandroid backup
Doing a nandroid backup from adb to insure a good backup
Updating PRL
Updating Profile
Having sprint refresh both PRL and Profile
Testing:
I've had cell phones in my area call me to getting the same message.
Have had lanlines call me in the area and they are working. Sprint lady's lanline and cellphone both worked outside of my area code.
Had a cell phone out of state call me and it worked fine.
Advice:
Sprint lady told me to go to a sprint store and have them update my PRL.
Summary:
Cellphones in my area code are not able to call my phone. Out of area code work fine calling it. I can call out everywhere. Lanlines in my area can call me fine, as well as me call them.

What? im just trying to give as much information as possible. i already said what thier suggestion is. Thats take it to a store and have them update the PRL. I dont have much faith in thier tech support so seeing if anyone with some real knowlege of how this stuff works has any ideas. Started happening randomly too, phone was working fine as far as i knew.
Ahh just saw your edit, our usernames are simlar. myke66 and mykey. similar, but different
Sorry, I don't think you will trip anyone up here that easily.
Better luck next time.

I would say something is wrong with the cell tower near you. The only time I get that message is when either a cell tower is down or a cell tower is overloaded. I wish I knew more about cell towers to explain it better.
A PRL update isn't going to help you unless you are roaming, which doesn't sound like that's the case.

In your case, it sounds like the PRI's are down or the equipment is not responding to outside calls. Have you tried getting someone that has a Sprint phone to try to contact you (besides Customer Service)?

The number i had call me from another state was a sprint phone and that worked fine. I dont think i know anyone with another sprint number in my area code.

Still sounds like a cell tower issue. What you could do to see if that's the case is to relocate the phone to another cell tower (I think cell towers have a radius of roughly 4 miles...could be wrong on that) and have someone with a cell phone call you (like your girlfriend or your mom).
If the connection completes, then the issue isn't your phone, but your cell tower.

isn't it more along the lines of 12 miles?
crap...im wrong. Cellfinder puts me at just over 4 miles direct from my tower. But I think the radius is bigger than 4, since I've got service, and there's basically 3.5+ miles of limestone in the way of the tower lol

That's why I said "I could be wrong." I think it's generally 4, but depends on a lot of factors (such as how high the cell tower is...one that is on top of a large building will have a larger radius than one closer to the ground.
Again, I could still be wrong. Maybe someone who is more familiar with cell towers can shed some light on the subject.
This has been going on since this morning. I've left my area a few times today, so im pretty sure i was outside of the one towers signal. I was a good 10-20 miles away at one point and it was doing the same thing.
well the sure way to know that it is not something that the rom did is to run the RUU to get back to bone factory stock and see if it still does it.
I highly doubt that it is a rom problem though. also have you changed any settings?
I had a problem where I changed the wireless network settings to EVDO only and that made it so I wasnt reciving calls or anything. not the same problem but could just be a settings thing.

See, thats the thing. Nothing has been changed. It worked yesterday as far as i know, but upon waking up to text messages about my phone not working, it started. First message i got about it was around 11am. I can try doing the RUU, but i doubt this is a ROM issue. Wouldnt make sense. Not to mention ive tried various roms and backups that i knew were fine.
gonna try the RUU
the thing is, if you RUU the phone and it still has the problem then there will be no issue taking it to a sprint store and having them test it and replace it. If you where to take it in with a costom rom on it then they could say that the problem has something to do with the rom and give you crap about replacing it.

true, i guess its something im going to have to do anyway. Will update thread twhen the RUU is complete and i test it
Just something of interest, there's what im assuming, an error code of some kind at the end of the "All circuits are busy right now, please try your call again later message." It completes with a male voice saying 001p or 001b, hard to understand because its staticy. Ive googled both codes to no avail.

The beginning of phreaking on cell phones.
On another note, that is a message that would be related to the service side I would think. Like that is a message that is service side based, maybe there is an issue with your phone line on sprint's part? dunno just some insight.
Anyone else? The same as Friday with the redirect to TMobiles webconnect page? I am in Florida...
my internet is still working 100%.
Seriously, am I the only person this time with the outage and redirection to TMobiles you need a webConnect plan???
Thanks for replying melterx12!
**Edit looks like I am back up...Weird though it was identical to Fridays outage. Had me in cold sweats since I am rooted and without warranty.**

I am in Orlando and im having that issue almost everyday,i'm not rooted,but a reboot alwaya fix it, or going to airplane mode and go black.Not sure if is T-mobile issue or a bug.
Same issue earlier today(Tampa), reboot fixed it.
Orlando as well. Noticed outages on both Friday/Saturday. Was not aware of airplane mode fixing it. Will try that next time.
Annoying either way!
I noticed an issue switching between 2g and 3g that rebooting fixed but only until it switched again (moving locations or manually toggling, etc). It wasn't until I went into 'network operators' and reselected my network that the issue fully resolved. Worth a shot if you're still having issues.

why cant you update ? i have no idea how to pull the prl from the phone sorry
Right? How do pull the PRL.....anyone?
menu/settings/system updates/prl
Updating your PRL is not going to mess up your root at all. The only thing it could affect, is switching back to selecting sprint towers instead of altell towers, if you were using that altell hack.
I am new to Sprint and only been on Android for a few months now, but what is PRL and profile under system updates?

PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. Basically it tells the phone which towers to connect to while roaming.
Profile has been explained to me as like a soft data reset to your account, sort of like resetting your router.
Anyone else care to add anything?

Damn, I was hoping this would somehow fix my service. I lost 3G service around here a few days ago when a strong thunderstorm came through, I guess a tower is just down. It's weird, 2.1 roms still say 3G (with my bars showing the roaming triangle) while 2.2 roms show 1X instead of EvDo (while showing EvDo while I'm not at home). On either rom, my speeds are **** while I'm at home.
Looks like mostly changes in Mexico..

Has anyone else had an issue where after the PRL is updated, the screen turns black, all that works is the home button, and if you open any menu or setting, a black screen pops up saying that your PRL has been updated, and when you hit OK, you just go back to the black screen?
The only solution I've found is rebooting the phone.

Nope. Just did an update with no problems.
Should you this if you are running Damage control rom or will it affect root/rom?

no it will not effect root or anything like that. I think all it can do is effect how your phone connects to the towers.
Thanks updated and rebooted so far looks good it is funny becuase i am going to mexico next week
thanks for the heads up
So last night I noticed my phone had no signal, thinking it was a tower issue I waited till morning, nope. I've tried a reboot, reset, installing a different rom, prl update... nothing is working. I didn't change any settings or download anything last night either. What would cause this????
Have you tried going into range of another tower? Your local tower may be down, it happens.
no not yet, how far on average do you think they separate towers?
This will give you an idea of how far apart Sprint cell towers are, at least in my area.

I got the data from an app I had on my old BlackBerry.
I'm sure this is not the problem but I had the same problem a while ago then realized I forgot to pay my bill...lol
i actually had a similar problem. it ws fine last night but then this morning i had no bars and data read "1x" instead of "Ev". it was like this all morning but it just started working like normal about 5 minutes ago. so i guess it was just a tower messed up here or something

Fail. LOL
Well, at least you figured it out.
Got my phone working. Turns out my prl file was bad, I tried to do an OTA update before but it would just give me an error. So I started looking around and found there was a prl update back on 7-13, I downloaded it and did a manuel update. Service came right back. BTW thanks for the suggestions.
I had downloaded 1 of Mik's roms a while back (version 2.0.1 to be exact) and saw this 3.0 as his latest work on his website so figured I would give it a try. I see that he is aware that there are still remnants of this ROM that was made for Sprint EVO devices apparently, but I'm having a unique issue.
Whenever I attempt to make a call it alerts me that I am in roaming mode (which I double checked and i have it checked OFF so my DINC will dont roam) and if I would like to continue anyway. When my lock screen comes up it says "Verizon Network" on top and I am receiving and able to send text messages just fine. I have not seen anyone else having this issue in the forums and the last thing I want is to receive a higher bill from Verizon at the end of the month because of a new ROM. Also, the alert is simply annoying.
Please help.

Sounds like you need to update your prl. You do this by dialing *228 and selecting option 2.
I forgot to mention that that's the first thing I did. I even accepted the alert and went with it anyway knowing it wouldn't take but a minute. It programmed the phone successfully.
Still occuring obviously.

Hmm not sure then. I know sprint ported roms tend to be touchy on the verizon network. I gave up on using them after synergy rom awile back, because my data connection would constantly break, requiring a compleete ruu and factory reset to get it working again. Just flashing a new rom wouldnt fix it.
Have you tried flashing the .0808 evo radio. I know it works on the incredible and mabey since its a sprint ported rom the evo radio would work better, or mabey not just a sugestion.
Its in call settings or wireless and networks. It's called roam guard. Unchecked it and you'll be fine.

I actually had to turn ON data roaming to check off Data Roam Guard. It didn't work. But out of desperation I checked OFF Call Guard and that fixed it. Maybe that's the option that you meant. Either way, the alert has stopped and my outgoing calls no longer give me that message while I have roaming OFF.
Thanks for the replies.

Doing this on sprint ROMs have a tendency to break data. I don't recommend doing this. Also other development don't recommend it either. If you start having data issues, you may need to go back to stock, redo *228, the reflash what you want. I'm currently running my port of MikG 3.0 and have not had the warning. I did what you have done and its fine. I've made sure that the NETWORK thinks we are in fact Verizon, but the ROM somehow thinks we are Sprint.
