Searched for a similar problem and I wasn't able to find anything that matches what has been happening to my wife's EVO. Recently I installed CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143049
I also updated her to the latest radio/PRI/WiMAX/etc. versions when I did this. So that could also be the issue.
It seems that ever since I worked on her phone, she hasn't been able to receive emails, and she can't call or text me. I can't call her either. When she tries to call me, the phone vibrates and she hears the words "Enter the number you wish to dial, then press the pound key." When she enters my number, it says it can't understand. When I try calling her, it just doesn't connect at all and stops trying after about 30 seconds.
We're on the same Sprint family plan and I have an Epic 4G. Her sister, who is also on our family plan with a Samsung Moment, can call her just fine. Far as we can tell, it's only a problem between our two phones. So it might be a Sprint thing. But then again, she's not getting emails either, even though her data works fine for other purposes.
She's at work right now. When she comes home I am going to roll her back to the old radio, WiMAX, PRI, and NV versions (15.00.11.19, 27167 R01, and 1.90.003, respectively). If that doesn't work, I did make a nandroid backup from before I did anything. But her old ROM was kinda buggy (EViO 2, which was okay except it would randomly turn 4G on) and CM7 is supposed to be good.
Hopefully rolling back her radio versions will fix this; if not, is there something else I can do to fix it or prevent it from happening again if I install another ROM?
EDIT: Well, I fixed the email issue. That one was simple and silly - for whatever reason, her Google account was not set to automatically sync email. With that out of the way, I only had to worry about the phone call issue.
Her dad tried to call her several times yesterday and it would go straight to voicemail without her phone ringing. After rolling back her radio version, it seems to be working fine. Time will tell. Now the only issue is that Google Voice has decided to take over as the default SMS app, even though Handcent is set as the default. But that's a subject for a different thread.

I recently flashed my wife's Tilt 2 with several different builds of the EnergyRom and then finally back to the stock HTC Rom. With all of them after whenever she sends someone a MMS, it says that it was sent successfully and then the other person's phone even wakes up like it is about to receive a message but then nothing ever comes through. I have spent a lot of time searching through the Rom development forum and found no solution. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
go back to the energy rom thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
hit the 'search this thread' button just below the page #'s.. then click 'advanced search'
and then in the search box on the left for keywords.. type 'mms*' then hit search..
it could be a few things aparently.. maybe something with 'carrier provisioning' not doing what it should?
really though, i'm not trying to be a jerk.. I just spent better than a couple of hours trying to get my sending limits to 600KB..
that's how i finally got it.. just searching and searching..
No in my post it clearly states that I am now having this problem with all ROMs. I have gone back to the stock HTC ROM and it is still happening so it has nothing to do with the Energy ROM.
I have read about the issue with carrier provisioning and since I did not use it I know that it is not related to that. Flashing several different ROMs including the stock ROM has not changed this problem. Once again, does anyone have any actual ideas about why this would be happening?
contact your carrier.... Sounds like somehow you may have missed one of their automatic sim updates. The carriers regularly send them out for.. I have no idea why actually. But I know I was having issues with my touch pro (problems sending texts and phone calls would cut out after only a few minutes) because somehow my sim didnt get the random update they send out every so often.
If they do determine that is the issue what they have you do is call from a land line or something while they update your sim, from there you have to reset your phone and they'll then do some check and once thats done everything will be fixed.
Hello,
I am running CM7 RC2 on my Evo. I was recently informed by my girlfriend that my phone has her blocked and always rolls her into voicemail. Upon further inspection and testing, I found that my phone actually rolls EVERYONE into voicemail.
I can make calls and receive texts just fine. No issues there. I do not have google voice installed on my phone currently (thought that might have been the issue), but I did before. I have google voice setup to transcribe my voicemails, and whenever someone does leave me message, Google still sends me the voicemail in a text message.
I have Dialer One as my main phone application. The stock CM7 Phone app is also still installed.
Calls do not show up nor light my screen nor play my ring tone at all when someone is calling me. INTERESTING SIDE NOTE: Dialer One does seem to record the calls in my call log (not sure about the Stock Phone App)...
Any ideas? Is this some sort of Phone/Dialer One incompatibility issue?? I know that it used to work, and honestly im not sure how long the functionality has been broken (i rarely receive calls anyways..)
Have you tried re-flashing the rom with the latest gapps?
maybe not "re" flashing the rom with the latest gapps, but when CM7 RC2 was released, I did download the latest gapps and flash that and that was only about a week or so ago.
(was having issues getting the phone to boot without it)
I suppose ill try it again right now, but if im not mistaken, the problem persisted before RC2
Well i haven't heard of this exact problem, but I do know some people had dialer wake lock issues.
i feel stupid now. All i needed to do was reinstall CM7 with gapps and then do the Titanium "Restore Missing Apps + Data" Instead of "Restore Missing Apps + System Data"... Thats all it was
Thanks!!
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.
Hello,
New to the GN, I was wondering if anyone managed to successfully put Sprint's VVM on their GN?
I never noticed it's not available on the Market til now.
Why not just use Google Voice? I hate it!
I can't even tell you how many times that freakin app would just automatically disregard my calls altogether by sending them to VM OR forward me the caller on their 4+ ring....by the time I answered the call (on 'my' first or second ring) they were hanging up. This happened even after it first time I noticed it was going on and fixed the settings online on my pc (cuz it wont let you do it on the app). I had this issue at least 3x so I'm done with that app.
Thnx!
Am I the only person who wants Sprints VVM on my GN?
NO! It's one of the features I miss coming from my EVO & CM7. I had gotten so used to it, never gave it any thought that it wouldn't be on the new phone. I need some VVM app!
I'm also coming from the original Evo.......I always used VVM but actually liked Google Voice, at first, thought it was neat having a back up log of my text messages and calls available online. Unbeknownst to me though I was missing a LOT of calls and picking up late even though it was only ringing once or twice at my end. I use my phone for work so it became a problem, once I linked the problem to Voice, I got rid of it. Mind you, deleting the app doesn't do squat to the settings, so the problem continues til you DELETE the association to your number online.
I never had any problems with Sprint's VVM and I want it back!
I don't know if copying the VVM apk will work and I'd rather not fudge up this new phone so I'm here asking if anyone else has tried it?!?!?
I am having a problem that when I send a txt msg it doesn't get delivered till hours later. It doesn't always happen but it does. I have good signal and everything works fine. Also I tried calling a particular person and it rings then voicemail they never hear the ring. Then it goes to voice mail every call after that. So I am not sure if its the network, my phone or the other phone. We run in the T-Mobile network. Could it be the sim card or the antenna. It doesn't always happens. I even went full stock and it still did it.
On the official stock it would keep giving me a yahoo mail failed to sign in notification . But it comes and goes. So I'm thinking its my phone. Not sure
Anyone have an answer for this? Or have experienced this also?
Thank you in advance

It may help getting answers if there was a little more information regarding what you've done to the phone up to this point. Rom flashed prior to getting problems, apps installed, or settings tweaked, etc. I had a similar problem with a different device and it came down to the radio/modem version. If you can give a little more detail I'm sure folks here will chime in with ideas before doing a reset or something.
