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.

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 have no idea what happened, but on I Thursday (I *think) I was no longer able to send texts (no idea if I can still receive them, I don't get too many). However I think I can still get calls (Again, not sure). At first I thought MIUI was starting to glitch on me or something so I went back to CM7.0.3.1. I tried to update my radios from the latest EVO Gingerbread release but it doesn't work with ClockworkMod 3.0 I guess.
What do I do?
Well I guess I screwed something up when setting up Google Voice I think. Now people get "The recipient you are sending to has chosen not to recieve messages." whenever they text me. I don't know what I did.
Same problem
I'm having the exact same problem, I lost the ability to receive texts around the same time. If you did get it solved, let me know.

No, didn't find anything. I just resorted to using Google Voice for texting; after Googling around and making a thread on reddit, nothing has worked.
Did either of you recently try wiping battery stats? I've found that if I wipe battery stats with ClockworkMod, for some reason I lose the ability to receive texts.
Same thing happened to me only it highjacked my incoming calls and texts....I tried everything, including deleting my Google acct.,..called Sprint, I had to unroot my Evolution, put stock ROM back on, called them back, we were able to input some codes in the dialer. to reset phone. The leech known as Google Voice is finally gone, rerooted, good to go. SPRINT was actually cool with me being rooted. SPRINT kicks ass! Good luck!

Try updating your profile? Try handcent?

Did all of this multiple times.
did you port your number to google voice?
Are you using an Airave? I was unable to send any texts out at home but was able to anywhere else. Found out that the Airave was the cause so I shut it off for the time being and everything is working fine.
Call sprint and let them know. They will walk you through a refresh.

I have a bunch of dead spots in my apartment complex. Airave was able to get everything covered nicely.
same thing here. took about 30 minutes before it would start texting properly after activation
Had the same issue, I restarted my airave and it started working fine. Just unplug and plug back in.

I do have an Airave and that is the problem. When I got to work this morning everything is perfect. Stupid Airave!
This unfortunately happened to me. Apparently I had about 50 text messages that never sent (which explains why I didn't get some replies) since getting the phone on Friday. Well, my phone decided to send them all at 2 this morning. I had a few very upset people that I was texting them the most random things at such a terrible hour. I had previously updated my profile and all that good stuff, so hopefully this won't be an ongoing issue moving forward, otherwise I may be forced to reactive my Evo 3D.
I had the exact opposite issue yesterday. Was able to send but not receive any texts. I seemed to fix by itself towards the end of the day. Might be the local towers fixing something.
Airrave ...you mean MiFi right...same effect
Is anyone else having this issue...I send texts, it fails, yet sends it anyway?
I am rooted using midnight rom and lostkernal now, but my g/f has same phone at stock and having same issue...
Yea it happens off and on over the past few months for me. My friends who are on At&t mentioned having this problem too.
i asked about this a while back. happens to me too. and you have to reboot phone

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...

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.

I sent a message today and it said that it went to 2 pages which is like 200 characters, but my girlfriend said she only got part of it which i thought was weird, so i tried sending myself the same message and it gets cut off and only shows the last couple words (which are from the 2nd page) but doesnt show any of the first page. So im not sure if this is happening to anyone else but if you could test it to see if its not just me, if anyone knows why this is happening please let me know :/
My long messages get split, but I never see anything on my phone that says so. It sounds like you're using a non-stock messaging program and it's not working right.

Text mesages are limited to 160 characters. It's kinda like a Tweet. The phone displays it as one big message in the SMS app. So it's a failing on Sprint's part to not deliver the messages. It has happened to me as well. I'll get the 2nd part first etc.
No I'm using the stock messaging app but the tghing is I send a message maybe 156 characters long but my girlfriend satys she doesn't get it or anythinng. So I texted myself by typing in my phone number into the recipient field and I send my self the exact same message and get nothing back so I. Made a message that was 2 pages long and sent it but only got the 2nd part back and sometimes get nothing back. I believe I found the reason for all of it though, a week ago we received an airave from sprint because the service at our house was horrible and I believe the airave is causing the problems to my phhone. I went the the store and sent myself that 2 page long message from earlier and I got both parts and I resent the messages to my girlfriend and she got them perfectly with nothing missing. But when I got home it stopped working. So I believe there is something wrong with the airave device I received. Also I tested the messaging stuff with my moms phone (we have the same epic touch 4g) and got the exact same results as I did.
I've been having the same issue as stated by OP since owning the phone and I use the stock app. I'm thinking I need to go back to using the handcent app that I had on my hero since there was an option to split and send after 160

Since it works without the airave, I'm leaning toward it as the problem.

I have only had my Sprint GNote4 since Friday morning and i love the phone. But, i started having a odd issue today. All of the sudden my phone will not send or receive sms text messages, it just says message failed to send. I am using the stock messaging app, however i also tried hangouts and got the same result. What is even more strange to me is how i get texting to work again. What seems to work is i attempt to make a phone call, it immediately fails, but then on the second attempt the call goes through. ...then my text messages all go through. I apologize if someone has posted this, but i didn't see anything about it when i searched.
Anyone see this issue too or am i just special?

Do you by chance have an airave and live in an area being upgraded? Had that issue where I live. If so, turn off the airave and see if it changes the issue. Sprint has a newer version they will swap out if this turns out to be the problem. Hope this helps.
If you mean the update in the system aettings, yes i did try that. Thanks for replying though.
No, i do not have an airwave, but i do believe i am in an area with Spark, i have the litttle swirling star icon next to my LTE icon. Thanks getting back to me.
Here is what it looks like. Sorry if i sound noobish, i just switched to Sprint.

I am still having the issue, and I also have found that my phone calls are not coming through all of the time. I am starting to suspect my SIM may be the cause. I am currently using my phone with LTE disabled to see how it goes.
Do you have adblock or another ad blocking app installed? If so remove the app and see if that fixes your issues.
No adblock apps installed. It happens on stock and custom roms too.
