[Q] Evo on Metro - Not Receiving Text Messages - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just bought an evo and had it flashed to metro. So far talk, and data works fine, data is a lil slow but that was expected on metro. Just a couple of issues tho, one I cant receive text messages, but I can send them. Two, the speed dial to my mailbox (#1) is still set to the old number of the privious owner, and don't know how to change it.
Can anyone help me out? any solutions?
Thanks in advanced

Take it to the place you had flash it.

They told me I have to wait at least 24 hours since I ported my number from Verizon. So I'll have to wait and see. I'll post an update later if its working or not so if anyone else has done it, they're aware of the 24hr wait.

Ok so after a day and a half or so. Everything is working fine, and I'm really happy with the phone. Data, txt, talk on the $45 plan on metro.
Now I'm trying to get my email app to work. Works with wifi, but not with regular phone signal. If I use the yahoo or gmail mail apps, it works with regular signal which i dont mine having to user their apps, but still need to figure out how to get my pop email accounts from my shared hosting. I set up all the correct incoming and outgoing setting but keep receiving errors. Just any FYI for any other EVO on Metro users.

Glad im not the only one that had this issue, I just flashed my evo 3d to metro from sprint.
Everything works but receiving texts. I can only get texts from other metro users but no one else yet.
Ill give it a day or 2 to see

I was having problems also. I ported my number from ATT and SMS reception/sending was spotty at best for the first 2.5 days or so (the sprint rep I called about this quoted 72 hours as the magic number)
Did you port your number from a different carrier?
yes I ported from AT&T also...but I am getting text from other people...just not Qik. I even tried verifying from my PC...still nothing.
I have not been able to get the SMS from Qik either...I just don't think they are sending it.
i'm having issues as well, can't receive or send mms to/from myself, droid incredible or iphone.

can you check the settings in your default messaging app... go to connections for mms and see if the two fields in the middle have [not set] listed or if they actually have entries. Mine say they aren't set.

Did you port as well? If you did go into system updates and update your PRL. I had my number ported and had this issue up until I did a PRL update.

Can't MMS to iPhone??WTF??

For some reason I cannot send a MMS (picture) to my wifes iPhone. I told her to get a different freakin phone because my phone hates hers but she won't listen. So I am left with trying to figure out if I can talk my phone into doing what I ask anyways. Anyone else have this problem? I have the 2.15.00.07.28 radion, should I upgrade to the newer one? Need a fix...
I am able to send mms to BlackBerrys
*228 doesn't work either
Running redemption Rom 2.0.3
Try putting a written message in there as well.
Handcent has a problem with iPhones, the stock app will work but like mentioned, there has to be some txt. Even ... or something and it will go through.

I know the Iphone 3g did not allow pic texts. Not sure about the 4g
its not the iphone... i believe it is a problem between att and verizon. the mms from verizon has a tough time getting through to att...
the iphone users seem to be frustrated by this as well...
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=794375
in my experience, best way around this (besides making your girl switch to android) is to just text your girlfriends iPhone from your gmail, to [email protected] or whatever the att email address is... that or just comminicate via email only. email will be killing mms eventually anyways... why anyone still uses mms is beyond me. "you have a damn smart phone, switch to email already !"
who knows how many dirty pics from dirty girlfriends have been missed!?!? :/

[Q] Unable to get texts from one person

So this isn't Dinc specific but as at least half of the problem occurs on a dinc I thought I might as well post it here.
I just recently had a problem with one of my associates where we are unable to send/receive text messages from one another. I have turned on received reports in the default messaging app and all my texts say received by the recipient.
Both of us can receive and send texts to other people and calling between us still works. I have wiped my phone, and gone with a stock Virtuous 3.2 rom and it still doesn't work. They are on a blackberry, also on Verizon if that helps.
I think this has something to do with your associates phone. My girlfriend's phone does the same thing, she won't receive messages or sometimes even calls. She has the new blackberry curve on VZW. We tried *228'ing it and that didn't help so we took it to the store, it was swapped and now it works like a charm.
It's not your phone, especially if you wiped it clean. Trust me.

[Q] I can't receive calls or texts. HTC M9

Waited patiently for my HTC one (m8) to arrive. Was sitting on my doorstep when I arrived home from work today. Quickly went to work transferring all the things I needed from old phone. Been at it for 3-4 Hours. Everything seemed to be working fine, texts and making calls. Started to get people asking me why I wasn't answering my phone.
Come to find out I am not receiving phone calls. Awesome. reset all settings, reactivate. They have no clue what the problem is, told me to go see a tech.
Great phone but I am beyond pissed I have to deal with some unknown issue that I am sure they won't be able to fix at the store. Make sure to test and see if you guys are receiving calls on your phone. I can receive voicemails just can not tell if someone is calling me.
Anyone else have this problem? Have a fix?
Why didn't you wait for the M9?
Go to Settings -> Mobile Data -> Network Mode -> 3G Only.
I'm having the same problem with my M9, and this is a temporary fix that I read about. It worked for me, and I had multiple friends test it in order to ensure that it's not going to fail on me. Who is your carrier?
My HTC One m9 stopped working around 11am and it is 11:04 pm and I have tried everything. The data just won't work. It says "use my data plan when wifi isn't available" I don't know what that means and I'm honestly getting angry. I have tried resetting it and updating it and I just can't get it to work. I can't receive or send texts or calls. Please help me.
HTCm one 9 ...my text messages are not coming through on my phone but I can send them.

Cricket sms delay

I activated my ZF2 with cricket this past weekend (5 days by now) on the $40 plan and the service and call quality have been great. However I am still receiving messages on my old iPhone 4 and sometimes i can only read replies on it and they don't show on the ZF2. Has anyone else experienced this problem and how long should I expect this issue. The website states this should only occur for up to 8 hours.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA Free mobile app
Sounds strange. I just switched from Cricket, put my sim in my phone and everything switched over almost instantly. Old phone stopped working almost immediately after I did the activation and after a few hours things were good.
I plan on switching to Cricket from MetroPCs when I get mine in today. Glad to hear that it will work with this phone.
Are you sure you are not getting iMessages instead of SMS? Those will never switch...
I had this issue a while back when Cricket was Aio, one of our phones wouldn't get SMS messages... Had to call customer support and have them resend the port request (or re-broadcast something, I don't remember exactly), within a 30 minutes or so it was working.
Part of the porting process requires you to have your old phone OFF when the port happens, it should not be attached to the mobile network when the port occurs or errors can occur... That is why the instructions for activation specifically state your old phone must be off when activate the new SIM.
No delay with Cricket for me.
It sounds like the OP is receiving imessages. The iphone without a sim card should receive sms.

I think you mean an iPhone without a SIM CANNOT receive sms messages.
I have the same thought, that the messages are from iMessage and not SMS. I use Cricket and have no delays unless I am in an area with little or no reception (I travel a lot for my job so it happens from time to time). Back in the bad old days of Verizon I would sometimes not get texts until days later... ugh.
