[Q] SMS problem, message stuck on "sending" - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

About once a day while texting, a message gets stuck "sending" and I have to reboot the phone for the message to send. I am running stock DK28 with the ACS-dk28-signed ROM. I have seen some people having this issue on Quantum ROM too. Is anyone else having this issue and on which ROMs. Has anyone had it and found a fix? I have done the wipes and resinstalls so thinking it is some cache clearing problem. Will a different Mms.apk fix it?
Thanks.

I had that poblem with viperrom. since going with Nebula, I have not had that issue, however, I hav onl had it on my phone for four days

I had Nebula for a minute this weekend but had trouble getting Sprint Nav back on and needed it Saturday morning for a job so had a massive wipefest and odin'd back to DK28 and put ACS back on so hope that cleared it up. Will see today. Still looking for a ROM with a Sprint and Samsung package included to save the hunt for all the apps.

It's a DK28 feature. I never found any pattern to what caused it, at worst I got it every 20-30 texts (or every 3-4 days for me).
Tried multiple roms and stock DK28, all do it eventually, it is just a matter of time. For some reason early Bonsai roms *seemed* to go longer before the problem appeared (weeks).
DI18 and back don't have the issue, so it is likely the modem... never tried DG27 long enough to see if it was affected.

J had that too and use update prl e everywhere I go it seems when change location its getting stock. Now it went away for now fingers cross.

What ROM are you running? Anything special on your install? Wipes? Odin?
Update: After a major wipefest, 3X each and 1X Dalvik, Odin to DK28, then wipefest, then flash ACS-signed-DK28 I am going on day 3 without this issue....keeping fingers crossed. (oops hard to txt that way)

I had this issue even on my stock phone. It seems to happen less since I flashed to sfr, but it is still annoying as hell and extremely hard on my battery life.
Anyone know of any solutions?

I found out that clearing level 2 RaM was causing it. Stopped using Program Monitor widget.
Do you BONSAI?

I get that. Running ext 4 viper rom.
Vibrates twice then reboots.
Then when it turns on, I've went from 66 percent to 13 percent battery life for example.

Same as well. Either the app crashes or my phone will reboot. I reinstalled the leak again and it persists to be that way still. Hopefully the official comes out soon, but for now I'm fine with this.

Does it reboot or shut down?
It sort of sounds like a low battery shutdown. Maybe there is a problem with your battery. I'm just guessing here.
I have seen that happen from a couple of scenarios...
Not doing a wipe after going to DK28
Switching between roms and not wiping
Or flashing a rom or theme that you failed to verify the integrity of the zip before flashing.
I had this problem for a while and it seemed to get worse over time. I backed-up everything and wiped the cache and factory reset in CWM. Seems to have fixed the problem so far.

I'm going to take your approach to it and try that, hopefully it goes well for me, if not I'll just deal with it lol. Either way I have a functional phone. That vibrates and closes everything lol.
I will report that last night this happened on my walk home.
Phone kept rebooting over and over.
Phone was in my pocket and my hands were full so I could do nothing. Absolutely nothin would bring my device to life expect reinstall the rom. Even when I pushed my data backup I made while it boot looped on me, it would do the same.
So I had to start fresh. I have to say, previously I may have had a bad installation.
I went from 100 to 1 as to calibrate the battery once, no reboot yay. Also before, playing music while getting a text only muted the sound of incoming text for a plit second to where yu wouldn't know if not paying attention, sounds like a skip.
Now it decends volume while sounding the alert, and return music volume as normal.

[Q] Caller Can't Hear Me

This has been happening on my Epic 4G for awhile now and it's really frustrating. I'm pretty sure this hasn't been happening the whole time I've owned the phone, but at this point it's hard to really remmber.
Basically, when I make or receive a call, within a couple\few minutes of the phone call the caller suddenly can't hear me - this happens whether it's using the phone normally, in speakerphone mode, or even a headset. As soon as it happens and the other caller starts the "Hello? Are you still there?" I can fix it by toggling the speaker on and off (or off and on) and it fixes it - but it can suddenly start again at anytime...couple of minutes later, five minutes later, etc.
Right now I'm slowly removing apps from my phone after every call this happens on - my goal is to determine if a particualr app is confusing my phone. I don't think it's the ROM or modem I'm using (Frozen 1.2, EC05) as I did a stock flash and flashed to those just recently and others aren't having the same problem. I DID restore some data so if I can't narrow down an app that's causing it, not restoring any data is my next option (but even more time consuming to figure out specifically which data is causing issues).
I'm pretty sure the phone hasn't always done this so I don't want to exchange the phone considering I don't have any other issues and I think this is software, not hardware related. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?
Have you tried switching Roms, I have this same problem on EC05 when I moved to gingerbread it stopped happening.......

I do have Voodoo installed (since it comes with Frozen 1.2). I haven't tried switching ROMs yet but I have started looking again (I was pretty content with Frozen but if no one had a similar issue and changing the modem doesn't work then a ROM switch is my next try).
Thanks to others who suggested changing modems - I'm going to do that now and see if EE03 fixes this....*crosses fingers*

Yes! Mine started doing this a couple months ago, and I resolve it exactly the same way (though I have to hit the volume button once, either up or down, then toggle speaker on then off). It's definitely not the ROM because I've had it with both Froyo and GB ROMs. Unfortunately, I haven't found any other solution, yet. I'm hoping it will go away with official GB, but I have no real reason to think it will work. I'm going to play around with the Voodoo sound.

you guys shouldn't be having this problem make a backup then odin to ec05 stock and check if you still have the issue if you do just take it to sprint and show the tech your problem they should fix it or get you a replacement phone.
I have the same issue. I am completely stock. It usually happens 10 to 15 minutes into a phone call. I've already called sprint, taken it to a store but only reflashed the os, and I just recently spoke to someone on chat, who said the problem has been solved. If it happens again should I get a replacement phone?

Sadly even after changing modems and making the adjustment in Voodoo Control I still have the same problem. Going to uninstall Voodoo all together and see if that resolves anything.
I just discovered that I'm having the same problem after I Odin'd back to stock EC05 for a different reason. So, EC05 and EC05 modem, and I'm having a problem that I didn't think I was having before I tried EF02.
Could something have been changed that going back to EC05/EC05 modem didn't resolve?

This problem is not generated by Voodoo. I have a stock Epic (rooted) and have never had Voodoo installed on my device and I have intermittently had this problem in the past (haven't seen it for a while, though). My friend has an Epic (never rooted) and also has this problem.
About the only thing I've heard that people have said fixes this is to wipe cache and dalvik and then flash something using Odin. Stock or custom I don't think matters.
As others have noted, uninstalling Voodoo didn't fix it for me. I think what must be causing this is everytime I wipe and install a clean ROM I restore some data through TiBackup and SOMETHING I'm restoring is causing this. Guess I'll just have to wipe and be very careful about what I'm restoring.
This might be completely random, but by chance did other people that experience this problem happen to install NZBAir?

[Q] EG22 random reboot

So as the title states, my Epic has been plagued by random reboots since installing EG22. The unit was a new replacement, not a refurbished replacement that tech support normally gives. I've had it all of four weeks now. It ran EF02 pretty perfectly. I have tried reloading EC05 (with ODIN) then loading EG22, and no dice. Before I flash EG22 I wipe the phone, cache, and dalvik 3 times. I've also redownloaded and hash checked the EG22 update I use (using the stock/deodexed EG22 update.zip from the development forum). Still no improvement, the phone will randomly reboot every 1-2 hours. Any advice on what I could try next is appreciated.
radugb out
UPDATE: also I cannot get into the "SYSTEM UPDATES" menu in the Settings/About Phone menu. Each time I try I get a forced close then a system reboot. Could the phone just not like EG22?
I have experienced reboots on both EE03 and EF02. I haven't tried EG22 as of yet. I hae never had it happen on EC05. I figure I'll just wait until the release because my phone just doesn't like the beta/leaked stuff.
Any test software has a chance that it will not work 100%
All Gingerbread leaks crash and reboot in low signal areas. I am assuming this is one of the reasons official hasn't been released yet.

Ok, but one I have an airave about 12 ft away from my phone so I get a great signal. And two, I'm still getting FC's when I try to enter the system updates menu. So I still think it could be something wrong with my phone.

How did you install EG22? If you did it through CWM it could have just been a bad flash. For the system menu problem. The crashes occur for me too, like above post low signal areas are not a gb leaks friend.

I have been flashing zip versions thru CMW. I'll look up an ODIN-able EG22 tar or md5 and try it that way. But I will ODIN back to EC05 (with repartition to wipe the phone) then update to EG22. I'll let you all know.
As far a signal goes though, I'm getting full bars right now because my Airrave is so close to me.

You are right, that shouldn't happen with an Airave. A reflash may fix the issues you are having. Also don't use any CPU managers like SetCPU or Voltage Control on GB until source code and custom kernels show up.

Yup. That was it. Bad flash. This time I d/l'ed a .tar version of EG22 to flash with ODIN. Much better than before. No more FC's from the system menu and its been running 8 hours straight with no reboots. Muchas garcias.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Spoke too soon. I've had two random reboots, one yesterday, one today. So it definitely fits with what all y'all said that leaked GB ROMs tend to crash. Still not as bad as before, and I no longer get the FC's from the system updates menu.
I had one last night and one tonight at my house which I get a crap signal at in what Sprint describes as an "excellent coverage area" No other problems anywhere else.
I've had my first random reboot. Phone was WIFI connected, and forced roaming (Sprint has a tower down in my area, going on 7 days now). It was in the middle of a content update for an application I run, so I'm wondering if there is a memory leak for the network user or kernel space.
Does anyone know of an application that will keep a log of memory usage to track if a process is not releasing its resources?
Yup, same here. About once every two days I get a reboot. I haven't been able to connect anything I'm doing to the reboots, and it usually does it while the phone is just sitting.
Trouble is, Gingerbread is soooo much better than Froyo I don't want to go back
I really think it is the modem crashing.
You may want to try another modem.
also, i realised that on my wife's epic with eg22, it rebooted about 5 times a day, most of the time, it was right after using the slide out keyboard.
i deleted the keyboard counter slide apk thingy, since then, 1 reboot a day.
not great, but definitely better than 5.

Are you sure it is not a loose battery connection? My phone would do that with the extended battery and case. Had to put a little piece of thick paper in there to hold it tighter.
Definitely was the modem. I flashed the EE02 modem & now no random reboots. Signal(s) & battery life have gotten better too. I would have flashed the EF02/EF10 modem but that downgrade notice is oh so damn annoying!
Me and my friend have the same issue on our Epics OP, Its annoying but Im dealing with it cause these roms are so much better than pre eg22.
I dont have any random reboots but I get a random double vibrate. I have no idea where that is coming from
I've had two random boots since I've odin'd from EC05.. though I feel it was memory leak,and the phone just shutdown without sufficcient ram.

ACS Frozen 1.2 instability.

Hello xda community. I have a pretty large issue that affects my Epic. I recently had my Epic broken by blunt impact to the screen. So I sent it in and they sent a replacement in less than a day. I had Frozen 1.2 on my old Epic, and I had zero issues. But since I got my replacement, its been nothing but a hassle.
It doesnt get nearly as good battery life, it randomly reboots to the ACS logo, then endlessly cycles until the battery is pulled. Then when its turned back on, everything force closes, rendering the phone un-usable. The only remedy is to go to Clockwork and repair permissions. This will fix it for half the day.
Any advice?

The force closing is probably due to not having Journaling on.
I believe in the SRF 1.2 OP, there is a JournalingOn.zip, flash that (no wipes) and that should stop the force closing.
If it still is unstable for you, I recommend just reflashing the ROM.
Hope this helps.
Follow Acer's directions. If for some reason you still have an issue, then I'd recommend redownloading the rom.
You may also want to try a different kernel.

In order to better assist you, can you give us a step-by-step listing of everything you are doing? The files you are using with version #'s and your computer OS (with bit version).
I would recommend a full wipe of the phone, to remove any corrupted data
then do a clean install of SRF 1.2
then install the zip to turn on journaling
note: DO NOT use the reboot option until AFTER you have turned on journaling
What I did last night was returned it to factory stock EC05.
Im working with Windows 7 Home x64 on a Mac Pro, because for some reason neither Epic I've ever had will work with my custom built computer.
I flashed the EG22modem.bin with Odin 1.61. That didnt seem to do anything.

[Q] Issue after ICS update - Phone freezing

After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing
up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all
the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.
Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.
Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.
There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as
simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.
Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks.
Try:
Turn off phone
Take out SIM
Put SIM back
Turn on
I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.

Thank you for the response.
Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a
factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the
phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't
ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like
anyone else is having this same issue.

If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..

Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.
Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since
I had to do this.
At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the
data.

Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..
I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.
This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?
I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.

When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.
bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.
My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?

Yes i have the exact same problem...and the clock goes off too...if i don't reboot then this will keep happening...if you go into settings then development settings and tick off only let 4 process run in the background it should stop...try it and let me know

I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.

follow that first post. i went through exactly the same problems and found this guide and am now happy again and running stock GB on my Galaxy S2.
Because you are on stock ics (im guessing you are..), you can just follow that guide and flash the UVLDE update.
Yes clock resets to standard standard time.. I already did a factory reset and worked done for a couple weeks. My wife has same phone and she is getting the freeze ups now.

Yup here too. Almost reminds me of XP. Really ticking me off & it never happened on gingerbread. Rooted now & before I'm on rogers 4.0.4. wondering if there's going to be fix? Haven't seen if Google / rogers /at&t have commented?

I'm getting the freezes as well even after doing a factory reset.
It sucks, I'm waiting for cyanogen to release a stable release and then I'm switching.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. But it really shouldn't be necessary on a phone that's got more going for it than the stock nexus that 1st came out with ics.
There's something else going on.
