[Q] Txt messaging EVO and Airave

I received an Airave a little while back from Sprint. Since then, intermittently I have been unable to send or receive txt messages. It ONLY happens when I am at home and connected to the Airave. If I do a Profile update, it resets something and I am able to then use txt messaging at home. I have contacted Sprint, they say that since there is a Treo here in the house and this is NOT an issue with it, then it is a phone issue not an Airave issue. However, if I unplug the Airave, texting works again. Any suggestions? Is this the wrong place to ask this question?

I have been having problems with the airave I got the other day. The same thing happens with mine, if I unplug it, all the problems go away. I have spent hours on the phone with sprint, and they tell me the same thing, its my phone not the airave. I just unplugged the damn thing, its not worth the hassle.

call retentions and see if they can send you the newer model airave.. i believe its the airvana...
I havent had 1 issue with it.

I had the same problem with my airrave, 2 questions; do you have your airave set to work with only phone lines on your plan(like locked or is it open) next question is are you running a non sense rom?

error code 128 data call failure

This has been happening to me for the last couple of days. Out of the blue my phone will pop this error: Data call failure. Error code 128. Unable to establish wireless data connection. I have done some research on this error message and most of the things I found had to do with using the phone as a hot spot. I am not using that feature. I am using a custom rom that I have had on for a couple of months now. Nothing has changed on my phone. I have tried updating the prl and then updating the profile. I have pulled the battery and left it off for half an hour. None of the other phones on my account have this issue. It is particular to my phone only. Is it this something I can call sprint about and they can reset or do I need to flash my radio again or take it in to sprint?

Had the same thing happen to me today. Called sprint and they said there was a data issue going on in my area. I say its rubbish but whatever.

That's been happening to me all day today. I thought it was maybe the kernel I installed today (more freedom) but after seeing this maybe it was the earthquake on the east coast causing problems with the network?

I have been getting these errors all day today as well.

i've been getting it all day... I thought it was kernel

I keep getting that error to. Thought i messed up my phone. Guess it was the earth quake, That **** was crazy though, never felt one before. Anyway after it happened i lost service on my phone for like 2 hours, kept getting beeping noises when i would try to make a call.

Sorry to hear others having this problem as well but I am glad that it probably isn't my phone. I would hate to get my evo replaced with a newer one that can't be rooted.

I know running CM7 right now and getting no 3g speeds right. Lame. But I got wifi though.

It can be rooted! These Dev's don't let us down, come-on man.

This started happening to me after the earthquake. In NYC

you mean Virgina? But yes, the last few days especially today after the quake. Ivebeen getting it alot.
I just had to reinstall synergy because it started freakingout saying that my andriod process had stop working, and a media process stopped working. was driving me insane.

Yeah know issue with Sprint call tech and do ctms ticket and maybe prl update or maybe * 18. The issue may be cleared by now .

Just the last couple days? I been getting these errors on and off for months now... before I rooted, and bricked my phone, so I'd say it has something to do with sprint not having enough bandwidth... or something like that anyway....

data call failure error 128
My Evo 4G started getting this Data Call Failure Error 128 last week (Wed), also only when I unlock... It is only a message, but everything works fine afterwards. It would happen about 5 times a day.
Then I went to Mexico for the weekend (3 days) and was roaming over there. Not once did the message pop up. Everything was fine, roaming data, text messages, phone calls. Thought everything was fixed. Came back on Monday and once I was on the Sprint network, started receiving the messages again on unlock.
I updated PRL and Profile and everything. That didn't stop it. Tried changing from Sprint to automatic roaming and that didn't really do anything. I thought it was a couple of apps i had (like Green Power that turns off data and turns it back on) but uninstalled it and the messages kept popping up. Tried enabling always-on data and that seems to work but that drains the battery faster than usual. Been searching all android forums looking for others in this situation and it seems like only a Sprint/HTC issue (Evo 4G, 3D and Shift). This is getting very annoying. It happens about 5 times a day.
My wife thinks that it's Sprint fixing and adjusting their network getting ready for the iPhone rush.

Wow, glad to know that I'm not the only one. I think that I had somehow did something wrong with my phone. I keep on getting these Data Call Failure - Error Code 128 messages several times a day. I tried reflashing a new rom, then doing it again. Must not be the rom, but Sprint. Annoying!!!!

it was just a sprint issues

Also cannot call the *2 or the *4 automated lines to sprint, get a busy signal and pop up saying "network is busy try again later", but can get through to sprint on a landline just fine. Apparently I cannot connect to what the sprint tech says is the "automated lines". I continue to get the error code 128 repeatedly, whether on wifi, 3g or 4g, and Sprints only "remedy" is to do a factory re-set which I have read has not affect.

[Q] Has anyone experienced service cutting out frequently?

Well I got the Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus a few days ago (on release day) and since I started using it, service will drop out intermittently. For example, I'll be in my house with 4 bars and a 4G LTE connection (the signal has always been very reliable here) and I'll be using the phone perfectly with no problems. I'll lock it and put it down for anywhere between 5-15 minutes, and frequently (not always) when I pick it back up and unlock it, the phone will say "Searching for Service". The same problem also occurs when sending text messages. I'll click the send button and the messaging app displays and error claiming that the message could not be sent. I try to resend the message a few times, and after about 10 seconds the phone says that service has dropped out completely. The last scenario with this problem is when I'm simply using the phone for web browsing, listening to music, playing a game, etc. I'll be using it and my service will randomly disappear. This happens on WiFi and when I'm using mobile data. It also happens at home and while in other areas (with good service or bad service). Is anyone else experiencing a problem similar to this? If not, should I ask Verizon to replace my device?

I was on calls on mine on and off all day Thu and Fri. I never saw this issue.

Hey man, I just returned my GNex due to the exact issue you are describing. They swapped me a different one and it seems to be fixed. I'm still only getting 1-2 bars max but signal drops are not happening now. they were happening so constantly before i was ready to just return the phone outright.
It's really annoying because they have to reproduce the problem before they will give you a new phone. They looked me up in the computer and said their system says I have zero dropped calls (that's BS because I have been dropping constantly) and they made a phone call while I was in the store that lasted 5 minutes without dropping...strangely while in store I had 4 bars but as soon as I leave the parking lot I get 1-2. I was about to walk out of store defeated and without a new phone but service popped back off and I was able to get the guy to see it and fail to make a call to my voicemail...this new swapped out phone works much better.

Just got off the phone w/verizon for the same problems. He stated that he has been receiving a lot of complaints about this issue. He said that he is sending a error report to Samsung. He also said that I could take the phone back and exchange it. Every one with this problem should contact Verizon so they can inform Samsung.

That's crap they should have let you exchange the phone outright...

Hmmmm well thanks for the responses everyone! I'm probably gonna call VZW and get them to exchange it today.
P.S. I even got a new SIM card to see if that fixed the problem and it didn't, so it's definitely a problem with the radio in some devices.

I have not experienced this in MN.

Got mine exchanged today
Hey, I had the same problem with mine when I got it out of the box. I took it to the store, and it consistently reproduced the problem. They tried the SIM card, then replaced the phone. Seems to be working well now.

[Q] Is wifi calling having problems??

Hi all, I don't know if it is my GS3 but wifi calling is not working rigth. It keeps disconnecting from time to time. Sometimes says its working and incoming calls are sent to voicemail without ringing, other times people say the phone didn't even ring and the call dropped. And sometimes the incoming calls came and the phone frezees when trying to answer it. And sometimes it just work fine...
The problem is that I had another GS3 which was working perfect but I cracked the screen and got another one (New), and this one started giving me those problems from the beggining. It was completely stock for a month after that I flashed a few ROMS and still had the problem. I tried searching online and found that other people are having the same issues and started complaining at the same time that I replaced my phome, so maybe its not the new phone?? And a tmobile problem?? I still have warranty on this one and can replace it again but first I would like to know if there are people that have the same problems or issues. Thanks in advance

The last few days mine has dropped every few minutes, the service itself not a call because it's so sketchy I'm not even brave enough to attempt a call. I've tried everything I've found online and no improvement. Tmo really needs to work their s**t out.

Thank you I guess its not my phone then. Thanks!

Same here!!!!!!!

Literally, in the last 5 minutes it's dropped and reconnected 3 or 4 times. I'm getting so frustrated with tmo. I wish they had email support because I really don't think I can keep my cool in real time.. it's just ridiculous.

It's been terrible since day one :/

can't anyone get to the bottom of the problem? i read somewhere that t-mobile decided to use a different platform for the wifi calls for some of the newer phones which includes the s3. i have no t-mobile coverage inside my house and depend on wifi calling. since i got my s3 my wifi calls drop repeatedly. it's completely unusable. we demand answers and a fix. i've found hundreds of users through google searches who've had this problem.
what's going on?

I noticed Skype 3.0 kept disappearing when WiFi calling would crash so I'm going back to 2.9 and pretending like it's gonna fix my problems. There's a HUGE thread in the GS forums over at tmo support this problem has been going on since our phones were released, and as far back as last year on other phones. They simply don't care enough to fix it.

Guess not.. went to send a text and it dropped AGAIN. Came back in <30 seconds wtf!!!!!

I had it work once but it wouldn't log in again until I "forgot" the network and reconnected.

Yeah I know, but at least for me it was reliable, I used to received all the phone calls, etc..

WiFi icon is blue try to send a text, spin spin spin, failed, WiFi calling gone, 30 seconds later it's back. I am so unbelievably frustrated and don't know what to do. I have 0 service at my house and I'm watching my battery drain FAST.

Just spent the last hour trying to send a text..... WiFi on and off, restarted a few times. Tried WEP instead of WPA, set port forwarding on the router. This is CRAZY. It seems like the first two weeks (first month?) I had the phone it was ROCK SOLID but since then it's only gotten worse day by day. I can't believe this s**t. The person at the tmo store said you have to wait a year before a new customer can get a free signal booster, not that it'd even help....
I want to call or live chat but I am so pissed I honestly don't think I can act like an adult
Do any of you people with problems have Comcast voice? Could their VoIP be messing it up?? I tried to run another modem but Comcast wouldn't let me activate it... what a crappy night!

Hey guys. I tried wifi calling again today and it has been working perfect all day. No disconnection, all texts and calls enter without any problems. I'm just wondering if anyone else is still having problems with wifi calling.

I could not get my Wifi Calling to function properly at work. Text works great, sending and receiving. My phone rings when I receive a call, but I cannot hear anything, neither does the caller. Similarly, when I dial a number, the other phone rings, but no audio is heard on either end. This only happens at a coroporate network, not at home or an open network such as hotels or restaurants. T-Mobile is supposedly aware of the problem but no solution is in the works.

A couple days ago MMS over WiFi broke. I tried every setting possible so I ODIN'd back to ICS without root and things were 100000x better. Still got a few disconnects but nowhere near as horrible. Then I did the OTA on tmos server to JB. Seemed a little less stable but still useable for texts. Rooted last night and still seems stable but a few extra disconnects.
One thing I've noticed on a few disconnects, I saw the connected to WiFi network bottom of screen notification pop up. The WiFi indicator stayed full bars so I'm not sure if it actually disconnected or that bottom screen pop up was just WiFi calling reenabling.
I think the WiFi in our phone is less than great. My router gives my PC a 300/300mbps link, on my phone it's 65/150mbps.

For me all the problems are resolved except mms. But no disconnects, texts and calls work great. Used it the whole weekend without one single problem. I havent done anything with the phone, Im using sonic resurrection 7.1.1 ROM. Maybe tmobile is fixing the problem, slowly but fixing it.

[Q] Text messages and calls not being received

I've been having a problem with receiving texts sometimes and I recently noticed that it happens with call apparently. The issue is that I'm texting people back and forth and then all of a sudden I wont receive messages for a long time (couple hours). At some point, someone's text message will push through all of the other ones all at the same time. Sometimes when I assume i'm having this issue, I will send a text to myself and it will push the other ones through as well. Recently though I was made aware that during this "outage", I also was not able to receive phone calls at all. The signal is strong at all times (3-4 bars). Also happens when I'm home all day and not changing locations when it will suddenly stop getting texts and calls. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I restarted the phone and changed cell towers with the Airplane mode many times and the issue continues to happen at random times. It is really inconvenient. Suggestions?
Technical details: I use the stock 4.1.1 Rom that comes with AT&T S3. I do have LTE in my area.

And now it has happened 3 days in a row but at different times of day. This is a huge problem for me as I use my phone a lot. Any help would be appreciated

You still have your IMEI number via settings -> about phone -> status?

TRy making sure yiur not in airplane mode. i was stuck in airplane for a week ._____________.:cyclops:

That's weird. Re-seat your SIM card, if that doesn't do anything then take a trip to your nearest AT&T store/dealer and have them swap out your SIM card and see if it still occurs after that.

I had a similar problem a while back and it happened to be a network problem with my carrier. Gave them a call and all is fine now.

It happend to me too. I went to att store and get new sim. No problem for last 15-20 days. Looks like i got stronger signal too.

Just to give anyone interested in this an update:
I went to the AT&T store today and told them my issue so they told me to go to the nearest AT&T device support center (which was really far away). People over there told me they heard about this issue many times over the past couple of months. The guy working there had a S3 and said he has the same problem. They received an email from the higher-ups this morning specifically talking about this random outage thing I have and that they are currently working on it. They were told to not exchange phones or sim cards because of this since it wont help. The issue involves a combination of Network and Jelly Bean software problems and happens on all new LTE devices that have Jelly Bean from AT&T. They told me to check periodically if there is a solution.
I guess I just gotta wait. Unless someone recommends a ROM that is not based on the latest AT&T jelly bean?

Bumping it up, both me and my wife have had this happen. From what im read its a pretty widespread deal.
Anyone know of a work around at least until they fix it?

Keep us updated
Same problem here - switched from Verizon to AT&T last month and started noticing this problem a few weeks ago. Back then a Google search didn't find much on it, but this thread looks promising.
Just to add my two cents: I'm on a rooted S3 with task650's AOKP (4.2.1) build 12.23.2012 (link). Made sure to flash the modem for my phone (I747UCLI5 from here). Problem: phone randomly won't receive calls or texts. Sometimes calling someone will fix it.
I read somewhere that on AT&T, calls and texts are received over 3G and sometimes phones have difficulty switching from 4G. Anyone know if this is true?

Do a full wipe /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik cache. And your problems should be gone 9 times out of 10 that's usually everybodys problem

Seems to still be working fine.

I started a thread on this also and just yesterday received some info from AT&T tech.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123974

guys,
it is an ATT issue,
here is a temp solution for a fix:
1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect
please see, post, comment here:
