MMS outage? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've not been able to send an MMS for the past couple of days, am I the only one having this issue?

I have been on about 8 different ROMs in the past 2 days and I haven't had any MMS issues. What is your setup?

Stock Deodexed EH06, running the EG22 plus kernel. Which at first I thought could be a problem on some microscopic level but I wouldn't be too sure honestly. I was having it beforehand as well.

Has happened to me, both MMS and calls, though not always together. Usually clears up in an hour though.

Yup sometimes i get it every other day its really annoying too, sprints got to pull it together!

Probaly the earthquake...... Sprint said their network was jammed because so many people started making phone calls at the same time when the earthquake hit D.C.

Phone is stuck on 1x service

I've been stuck on 1x and no svc bars all day, and on and off yesterday. Keep getting the data roaming message.
Called sprint and they ran me through a bunch of trouble shooting, as usual, but could not resolve it. She said that my internet wasn't updating or something. Opened a service ticket and told me to take it in to the store so they can check the device.
Anyone have this problem before, and how did you fix it?
I'm currently running srf 1.2, genocide 2.0, honycomb fusion explosion theme, ec05 modem, and I have an airrave.
My wife's epic is also stuck on 1x, and the blackberry on our extra line also says 1x with 1-3 bars.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
My issue isn't that similar, but recently was the first time I've even seen "1x" on my phone. I literally have never seen my phone on 1x before, in fact, I thought it wasn't even possible on Sprint (Like, I didn't know it had the same name).
If all your phones are stuck on 1x, then it is most likely something with the service. You already did everything I could think of, so I'd just take it to Sprint again and tell them that it's been happening for a while and you've already been to a store, but it's becoming a real issue and you shouldn't have to be charged for a service that does not provide what they have offered, or something threatening like that.
Hope you can fix the issue soon,
Acer
I feel better knowing someone else also is experiencing this. Since like Thursday I haven't had a reliable 3g connection whatsoever I keep getting the "1x" icon also.

Same...wonder if it's something up with Sprint.
I literally haven't seen that phone have the 1x icon in the 13 months I've had it.
I've had trouble, but with updating my PRL and Profile. Once I read this, I've kinda conviced myself that somethings up on Sprints end, and not ours. Could this be part of Sprints Network Vision in action?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
It could be the airrave. I had trouble getting a 3g connection the first time we set ours up.
________________________________
Roll Tide Roll!
Same here with 3 epics for 2 days, called Sprint and had them push a refresh on all 3, then I updated prl and profile on all 3, been working for about 10 hours now on all 3.
Wow! I knew I would get some response to this, but not that everyone is having the same problem...lol! Well, that sucks. I wondered about the airrave, but I mentioned a few times to the phone rep that I had one, and she never said anything about it. She did say they were no problemswith the service in my area. I'll have to see what happens when I leave for work tomorrow. Does make me wonder if sprint has something brewing that is messing up everyone's service.

Reset the Airave and your router and modem. They screw up the Airaves all the time. Airave techs direct line is 866-556-7310.
Update= 3g still working on all 3.
Oh and I have no airave.

Back on 3g today. Not sure what the problem was this weekend. I had no data when I got up, but rebooted the phone and so far so good. Full bars again, at home. I did switch roms last night. Installed miui with the data fix just to see if it made a difference. Didn't make a difference last night, but its working fine so far today.
Going to reset the airrave after work anyway, just in case. Are you guys back to normal today as well?

I had this problem on my vibrant SO MUCH (like maybe 15 texts per day did this). Then I had it on my Galaxy S 4G (less but still alot). Now I rarely have it on my Galaxy S 2. No idea what could cause this issue but it seems to be getting better down the generations lol
I've had only about.......5 since I got my phone.
Yes, lately I've been getting alot. Mostly while im on my wifi calling is on.

Yup.
Happens to me on a frequent basis. I have a launch release GS2 and it seems to happen to me on a frequent basis. I'm not sure what it is but it also happens a lot when it's converted to mms. I hope this gets fixed with ICS.

Not worth the upgrade IMO. S3 handles anything without lag, screen is perfect, and resolution is not a huge issue

IMO lte itself is worth the upgrade. Wimax in my area is very spotty and my area is in the round two markets.

Lol...you crack me up with this. I am curious to see if Sammy will still use MTP on the S3. I was reading a post from a Cyanogen kernel dev last night explaining that since Sammy chose this route their Touchwiz phones (all variants of S2) will always require separate kernels for AOSP and Touchwiz ROMs. I guess we are the only ones that can't have these great "any kernels." I can post a screenshot where it was explained in more detail if anyone is interested. It may be a reason why we have so few kernel devs on board

same thing happens to me, but it also happens with voicemail sometimes. Something somewhere isn't pushing it to the phone. Back on my Epic 4G I used to have issues with email not loading as well as texts and voicemail. Only texts and vm on the S3 though, but doesn't happen very often fortunately. That and wifi just stops working, but that's another story.

Had an opposite issue, I sent my wife a text while outside of home and it only went through when my phone connected to the air rave

So funny, I have Airave and I send myself a text and it goes through without issue. I send one to my wife sitting next to me and she gets nothing.
A friend of mine receives them fine as well. I turned the Airave off and within 5 minutes my wife gets all the text I sent her.

Sprint may be working in your towers, thus causing text and voice delays. If that's true then just wait it out. It's worth it.

Wow that's crazy. Lol.. data?!? I can see the need for making calls due to no service. But for data u can just use your wifi. I see it completely useless and impractical. It not only requires u to buy extra equipment, but it requires an energy source.

JB SMS Issues

Hey guys. I don't have an S3, but my brother does. He just got the jb ota this morning. I sent him a text once this morning, and he's gotten the same dupe text 15 times throughout the day. The remainder of my texts never sent through. I told him to clear caches and sms data, and of course a reboot. Nothing fixed it. Anyone else have this issue as well?
Thanks!

I think we're onto something with this. My bro sent me an email this morning, said all 11 of my real texts came through this morning, when he went to work (presumably after getting out of airrave range).
I wonder if this is going to be an ongoing issue -- it'll be quite annoying.

Yes quite so. I just unplugged it. It was working just fine without it until about 2 hours ago when I stopped getting texts even without it. I am beyond annoyed.
I don't have an airrave or airvana but when I am roaming while at work, I get the same text multiple times and even updating the prl and profile doesn't seem to help. Only happens when I am roaming though.
