So heres the deal.
STATS:
SAMSUNG EPIC TOUCH 4G
ROOTED
STOCK KERNEL FLASHED VIA ODIN.
LOCATION: NYC (QUEENS)
ISSUE: i cannot SEND SMS messages... on 4g, 3g, or wifi. (I CAN RECEIVE TEXT NO PROBLEM)
4G , 3G, WIFI. all WORK. as they should (albeit not the best speeds) but it does, allow use of market, fully functional apps, web browsing and etc.
i tried updating profile, and PRL. no luck..
sometimes it will go through once every 12 times.
i was on the phone with sprint, they couldn't figure it out..
so im asking the community, any ideas?
UPDATE..
FLASHED Z'S V3 KERNEL, AND STOCK KERNEL AGAIN, STILL NO DICE.. IT WAS WORKING EARLIER.. i dont get it... sprint claims the towers are fine locally..
Did it to me a couple times. Maybe the network? Having quite a bit of trouble with data right now as well

Oh I know. I usually average 8-12k texts per month. are you on your own plan?

Sprint has a new online system where you can disable texts, either ingoing, outgoing, or both. Data and voice can be disabled as well, all on whatever line you choose.

this is my own line, and my friend told me theres an issue with a tower around here (shes been with sprint for months)
and im getting through now with my text, so its a tower thing i assume.
will be fixed tomorrow morning according to when she called up to sprint today
Cool, good deal

Definitely a network issue
All of my phones (rooted/not rooted) are having texting and data issues right now
I've also been having numerous issues with texts not being sent out. About 2 in 10 will actually be sent. Receiving seems to be okay, but then again who knows. I've called Sprint and they have had me do the standard things, such as update profile, prl, and pull the battery. I did recently root, by using the kernel with CWM, flashing su, then going back to the stock kernel. I also disabled Sprint Integration with Google Voice and that seemed to help a lot, but I'm not sure if that was the cause.
I'm having this issue too. Sometimes it also says message not sent, but the other person replies, so I'm assuming they get sent anyways.
Sometimes when I text I get an error saying message not sent.and when I resend it.the person on the other end says they received the same message twice.I'll either press resend or I press the red error button that pops up next to message.seems like pressing the red error symbol next to message may only send once after error.

Same thing started happening to me today. Very perplexing.
I've been having this issue and it's easily the biggest flaw I've had on a device in years. I have random messages that won't be sent... well at least until some random day and time when they all go through at once. People don't tend to be very happy to receiving backlogged texts at 2 in the morning.
been getting this problem from time to time, reboot my phone and texts seem to go back out for a while at least.

Sorry to get off topic, but did no one else read that?! 12000 texts per month? 400 per day? If you sleep 8 hours you are sending a text 25 per hour, nearly one every other minute.
Slow down man, smell the roses.
I just sat next to a friend and sent 10 messages to him, each with a number 1-10. Only numbers 5, 6, 8, and 10 went through. That's a 40% success rate. Unacceptable.
I was having a problem with receiving texts and calls while in sleep, I followed this and after installing zedomaxs stock kernal
maybe this will work for you guys

Some users said this worked for them. I just tried it this morning so time will tell.
***I think you need the stock Kernel or else you might get a bootloop
The MSL can be found by downloading "terminal emulator" and typing "getprop ril.MSL" It is case sensitive.
From there, go to the phone, and type ##72786# , at the SCRTN screen select yes, let the phone reboot, let the activation go through its thing NOT TOUCHING THE SCREEN unless it tells you to. Let it do a reboot again.

EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM!
THIS IS KILLING ME!
2 days now.
all was fine, on calkulin 2.0.1a rom, and ek02 modem.. noticed people were not receiving my SMS, only about 10-15%... my MMS would send no problem.
i also have google integration.
i wiped 4 times, flashed fresh.. no go.. updated prl/profile.. no go.. swapped modems and kernels... no go.. HELP ME!!
i send myself texts, i get about 15% only..
going to try ##72786# thing now, just nandroid first. HOPEFULLY WORKS!
ANYONE??
UPDATE:
after dealing with this for 12 hours. literally trying everything.. (roms, modems, wipe, wipe, sprint tech, EVERYTHING), i think i may have come to the issue.
i unported my phone # from google voice back to my regular sprint #. my sms and mms now work perfectly. i still receive calls and sms to my phone, but when i call out or send text it shows my sprint # and not my google #..
i am waiting 15 minutes to try to re-port my phone # back to my google # to see if maybe it will start working again..

I've had this problem on multiple phones from Sprint.
The phone claims the text wasn't sent, but moments after it tells me it failed, I get a reply from the recipient.
I think often it has to do with Sprint's network, not the phone.
Happened to me twice in a couple thousand texts so far...

Happened to me a lot more than that. I look like an idiot when my friends send me screen shots of 5 texts I've sent when my phone still says it hasn't sent.

Same here, my evo3d, photon and ET4g all did it, it a carrier issue. I use roam control sometimes to lock it into roaming, texts send fine. Reboots don't always work for me.
Thia happens to me I fet bad phone code0

OK, thanks for the responses. It has gotten repeatedly worse past few days and is frustrating to have these issues with such a high-end phone. Rebooting and/or updating prl has not helped much. Was ready to break phone yesterday over it, lol.
Mine send but sometimes I get texts a day later and i have no idea what people are saying.

If you use roam control and force your phone into roam the problems go away. I've never had the issues while on Verizons network.
I have experiences this issue in 2 diff forms.
1. The form the OP mentioned. You send a text, it says "not send due to network error" but the text still gets sent. So when you resent the text (you are resending because it says "not sent", so u dont know it didnt get sent) it goes a total of THREE (not 2) times for some reason.
2. This is the ghost LoS reason. You have full signal and everything SEEMS normal, but when u try to make a phone call, it will seem as though the phone call is abt 2 go thru, but its just stuck on the dialing screen, and even if you press the end call button, it still stuck on that screen. Also during ghost LoS, if you try to send a text message, it will not go thru. AND, if someone calls you, it will go straight to voicemail and you will not receive any texts.
I am always texting my self "test", like every 30 mins, to make sure i dont have LoS. And i hate it, hope this gets fixed soon!!
The only way to get out of ghost LoS is to reboot the phone.

This is the second time this has happened:
the first time, I sent texts to a friend and his replies never came to me until the day after. He confirmed the problem was with my phone by sending texts to other friends
Two days ago I sent a bunch of texts that never made it to the intended recipient until hours later or in a few cases, the next day!\
This morning I sent a text from my phone and haven't gotten a reply back from the recipient. I checked my google voice and it has record of every other text I sent today except that one... So I have no idea if the first one went through or not.
What's going on? Can a hard reset fix this problem?

This is a known issue that's been happening a lot lately and is related to Sprint service or lack of it. I've had these problems for the past few weeks, even though Sprint doesn't acknowledge this as a problem.

Nothing to do with GV?
This is DEFINATELY a Sprint related issue, I can almost guarantee it. It happens to myself, and also happens to friends and co-workers who are totally stock. Ohhhh Sprint, when are you going to get it together???
Sometimes I send a text to myself to see how long the delay is.
Wow. This blows, because it happened while trying to set up a date! Haha, ohhh welll!

Maybe an email would be quicker?
I had this issue with sending. I was thinking it had to do with my Google Voice integration and my airave (femtocell). Unplugged my airave and haven't noticed the problem again. I feel I could have undone my GV integration and gotten the same result. Before I unplugged the airave, i was constantly checking my GV app, if i didn't see the outbound message there, I would resend it.

Ok so as of yesterday, Handcent has been acting up. Sometimes it won't send a message. I get that message not sent thing. It happens quite occasionally to the point where I have to send almost every message twice. Like I said before, this started happening yesterday out of no where. I'm running Tuesday's bluray rom and never had any issues before. Any help would be appreciated

I keep getting repeat text messages all day long. they just keep coming. I used to be rooted, then went back to stock 100% its kinda annoying. anyone else have this happen?
Most of the time those issues are carrier related. Could be the person sending the texts carrier also.
It's a network,issue. Happening to my gf today too. Luckily my primary number is Google voice ao,hasn't been an issue for me.
