I know there are several topics on the same issue, but mine seems to be a little more unique. I am running a rooted evo on myn's warm 2.2 rls 5. I have updated my PRL and Profile umpteen times. I am unable to receive ANY text messages until I make a phone call or check my voicemail, at which time they all come flooding in at once. I have had sprint reset my phone once which solved the problem temporarily for a few hours, and it is now back. This is the most frustrating issue for me, as I text quite a bit. I can send absolutely no problems to verizion, AT&T and sprint users alike and they receive fine, where I do not get their reply. Is there any advice, this came randomly out of the blue yesterday and has been boggling me since. I am on a fresh wipe (Caulkins wipe all, fresh install). I connect fine and downloaded 28 apps from the market no problem on the network and also get 4G. I am boggled.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and I can provide more information if needed.

Yes. I RUU'd back to all stock, unrooted as well w/ S-On. The problem is now less unique to me. Several other people in the same area are having the same exact problem, having to call their voicemail to get the text messages, then having them stop when the phone call is hung up. I am receiving a repalcement Evo this afternoon hopefully.

Has anyone experienced or heard of people experiencing an issue where the incredible will not receive text messages from certain contacts?
I have had friends come up to me before and ask why I never responded to their text but I always assumed it was a problem on their end. I got another complaint today and after investigating it looks like my phone really isnt getting sent message from certain people.
I had four different people text me including the "bad" contact and viola I only receive 3 out of the 4 messages. I tried to remedy the situation by doing the following
-Battery pull
-Updated roaming using *228
-Uninstalled Handcent and went back to the stock app
-Checked all possible settings
-Cleared cache from stock message app
Me and the "bad" contact are both on Verizon and she confirmed that she gets my text messages.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Edit: More info on what I am using:
Rooted Indcredible
Virtuous 3.2.0
Kernel: 2.6.32.17-virtuous-v3
Don't know if it'll help, but have the 'bad' user go into settings on the standard messaging app and turn on delivery reports. Maybe she'll get a report saying why the message didn't go thru.

Yeah, I am tempted to call Verizon to troubleshoot but I dread having to deal with their tech support.
Had Evo since day 1. Rooted right away and have been ROM-happy, flashing my favorite as developers release them. Went from Fresh to Myn to MIUI and am now on my favorite, most stable and reliable rom: Deck v1.
Problem:
9 days after switching to Deck I stopped receiving sms messages completely. This is not an issue of the notifications for sms being turned off, nor is it a ringer issue. The text never comes through. I can send texts without issue, no problem.
Tried to fix this in these ways:
•*I made sure I wasn't blocking any texts; this can be done at sprint.com > my account.
• I called sprint so they could remove/re-add my sms messages which usually fixes this type of issue.
• I restored a nandroid backup taken at a point when texts were working.
• I tried restoring the stock image - then updating profile. Still wouldn't receive.
• Obviously rebooted 35 times throughout the course of all this (i have to say it, somebody will ask )
• Full wipe etc.
Nothing worked.
Called Sprint knowing they couldn't do a damn thing and would probably stop listening if they knew my phone was rooted. Long story short they sent me in to get a new Evo. Was worth a shot, I wasn't convinced it was a hardware issue (how could it be, sms is not dedicated to a particular piece of hardware in the phone) but I went in and did the swap.
New Evo, unrooted, texts worked! but wait, that's not all.
9 days after rooting again and installing Deck v1 - poof - no incoming texts. The exact same issue.
WTF is going on here?? There is nothing in logcat, absolutely nothing happens on my side when somebody sends me a text.
Google voice texts are a good emergency workaround but I want my native texts. Is this a deck issue?? anybody else getting this? i;ve ggogled for weeks now and nobody has come accross this particular issue. Also this issue wont fix itself. i went a almost a week the first time without noticing i wasn't getting texts.
Have you tried a ##786# reset? You will need your MSL code. Also, it will wipe all data from your phone, so take that into account. When you ##786#, let the list load and then hit "menu", and "reset".
When I first flashed to a GingerSense rom, I lost the ability to send/receive MMS and I was not able to connect to 3G at all. 4G and WiFi worked, but the 3G was nonexistent to my phone. After calling Sprint several times, one tech told me to reset my phone this way. I told him I would have to call back because if my phone was going to get wiped, I had to back everything up first and it would take a while. After I backed up all my app/data with Titanium and made a NAND back-up, I did it and it got my phone working right.
Hopefully you get the same result. Good luck.

Flashed back to a Sense/stock rom to do just that. Didn't help.
Whenever somebody has issues like mine it usually involves sending AND receiving. For me it's strictly receiving.
People also center these issues around MMS. Sending MMS is not an issue for me. I can send everything. I can't receive a damn thing.
That certainly is an oddity. I've been using decks 1.2 since C, and am currently on Z. I've never had any issues with not receiving sms messages (as far as I know...I suppose it would take someone to tell me that they sent me a message and I never replied, which I haven't got yet) I have never really seen this issue, except on my buddies stock hero a couple weeks. His problem was that he had never deleted any of his texts, so literally had like 10k messages or more in there. Once I was finally able to get all his damn messages cleared out (took forever...he wouldn't let me factory reset it) he was able to start receiving texts again. I'm sure that's not your problem, because you've been flashing and wiping, surely your texts have been cleared out...unless you restore them all. That's the only time I've seen that. I would've suggested maybe it was an issue on sprints end, which would not be unheard of, but if that was the case it wouldn't have worked on your new unrooted evo when you got it.
I saw in deck's thread that you already deleted the telephony.db directory, and that had no affect for you. I really wish I had some suggestions for you, but that is just odd. My first guess would've been a problem with sprint.
EDIT: Also, are you using the GV and Sprint integration? I don't use it, but I saw that if some settings weren't correct with that (from the google voice website) that all messages will go thru google voice, and not thru the native messaging app. Could that possibly have anything to do with it, maybe?
If you have Sprint/Google Voice integration, that is the problem. There are some funky things going on with Google Voice lately. Can't send messages from Gmail to a Google Voice number and have it register as a cell sms. The message is automatically sent to and only goes to the Google Voice Inbox.
I've had some sms trouble with all ROMs, not simply Deck's. It sounds identical to your issue. Google is the only constant between all ROMs. My problem was resolved by going into Google Voice settings, unchecking "Receive text messages on this phone," saving changes, then rechecking it and saving those changes.
I have lost the ability to receive sms numerous times. I am convinced it is a Google/Sprint integration issue.
I cant get text messages either. I can send all day and im testing, flashing roms, recoveries, I just unrooted as a final solution (so i thought) and nothing. Same crap. If anyone has a fix or if the fix is on another thread let me know please, thanks. Other wise im just gonna root back and say F! text messages
If you're on MIUI and didn't wipe, when you flashed it can cause these issues. Try to reflash, after doing a full wipe.
Just recently starting yesterday, I've been having this problem.
Many of my texts I send show as sent on my phone, but are never actually received. Also, I receive many texts that never show up on my phone. (I only know I got them because of Google voice)
It's not LOS because random texts will get through, I've rebooted and have the same issue, and im running LoSD which detects nothing.
Im running EK02 and using Google voice, though I used both of them prior to these problems, so i don't think its related.
Anyone else having this problem? Its very frustrating
Thanks in advance

Before posting have you had Sprint reset you in the system or have you updated your profile
No I haven't.
Im not sure if this is what you mean but I've had the OTA update notification pop up alot. I always say install later though because I don't want stock
Edit: just updated my profile and PRL, ill see if that fixes the problem
Sent from my SGS II
Updating PRL and profile didn't work unfortunately
I also reflashed my ROM after stock-odin'ing. still have the problem.
It's even happening on Stock EG30.
Should I call Sprint? Maybe something wrong with the phone?
I am a noob to posting but not new to reading this forum nor rooting.
I have an EVO 4G and just flashed AOKP build 33 with GAPPS 3-17.
I have Google Voice installed and have used it with no problems for almost a year now.
Just yesterday when I flashed AOKP build 33 my phone quit receiving text messages. I still receive them on my Google Voice account on my phone and on the computer.
GV is set to have my text messages go through my text client and my text client is set to the default messaging app.
I have tried flashing to recovery nandroids of previous Roms and states of Roms and that did not solve my problem.
I didn't see anyone at the AOKP thread who has had the same problem.
What can I do? Please help.
*apologies for posting this if there is a better place for it to go but after making it through all of the results on my searches about this with no solution I am extremely frustrated and need a solution.
Have you tried uninstalling GV to see if that solves the problem? My phone did the same thing for a while with google voice and I never understood why, but uninstalling GV took care of my issues. You will probably get the text messages a few hours to a few days late, or at least that is what happened to me

So do I need to do more than just uninstall and re-install the app? i.e. the whole thing with un-linking my number and voicemail and everything?
If you uninstall it, I def would suggest doing the full uninstall procedure,..the unlinking, etc.

Giving it a shot now. Thanks.
I'm worried though, without GV I will have no option for text messages.
How's that? What did I miss? You don't have a stock messaging app, or you don't have a sprint phone #?

I disabled my GV account and un-linked it from my number, restarted and still no incoming texts. Any other ideas?
Make sure somehow you have the latest radios and such maybe? Have someone text you again now that its all undone and see if the new message will go through. Like I said, even after disabling GV, it took 3 days for the lost texts to come through.

I've had someone texting me throughout the process to no avail. I am working on updating the profile and the PRI/PRL but have to load a sense ROM. Is that the same as the radios? Haven't really dealt with radios before.
Any towers being worked on in your area? I've had no incoming texts for 4 weeks now, due to a tower upgrade (LTE). The only way I could get a text was to make a phone call (typically called my voicemail when I wanted to check for texts). Supposedly this is done as of today...
Worth it for the LTE though!
Resolved
Thanks guys. I ended up just flashing a MikG ROM and it corrected what ever was wrong. Then flashed my AOKP ROM and we are back up and running. Still have no idea what it was.
I'm having same issues, ive been switching back and forth between ROMS to see if i can find one that works. I removed Google voice from my phone, and deactivated it online to see if that fix it. but not working still.
I still only get texts when i make a phone call.
Mik G worked for me as well
Those who are having the problem, are you restoring a backup of GV with data?
Remember, especially with Google apps, there are a lot of updated features for ICS and backups from Gingerbread will not work efficiently. It is best to start from scratch with these apps, especially seeing that Google voice pull most of its data from the cloud... no real need to restore data with it.
I recently rooted my phone to Pac-ROM yesterday and changed because of battery life, went to AOSPA 4.1, then CM11 3/12 build, and noticed I couldn't receive or send SMS. I went all the way back to bone stock, updated the PRL and profile, and I can send properly but can't receive. I also dialed ##72786# at least a dozen times, and have updated the PRL dozens of times along with the profile, STILL nothing. Called Sprint, got one text message from them, nothing afterwards. Tried to change the MMCS settings in 8sms, STILL doesn't work. Tried replacing the APN with the official one from Sprint from another forum on this site, STILL DOES NOT WORK.
Can someone, ANYONE, please tell me what the hell is wrong with my phone? I have tried literally EVERYTHING I could possibly think of and I STILL can't receive SMS. At this point I think the phone just crapped out on me, but it makes no sense because it worked this morning.
EDIT:
I feel so so, SO STUPID! It was Google Voice the whole time. -___- No wonder people hate noobs on XDA XD Mods please close this. I fixed my issue.
