I'm having a problem with not receiving messages while the phone is asleep/idle. I start to receive the messages once i hit the power button to bring the phone out of sleep mode. I have this problem regardless of what rom or kernel i'm using. Is there anything i can do besides taking the phone to the sprint service center?
I have the same problem but only sometimes. I brought it to my Sprint store and he said the same thing happens to his EVO 3D. He told me it was a network issue and that the "powers that be" are going to resolve it by the end of the year. I think he is just blowing smoke up my ass personally. i really love this phone. I dont want to opt out of my contract and goto Verizon for the Galaxy Nexus...
Might be a dumb question, but have you updated profile and PRL in the settings?

Yes i have. the one thing i've notice is it would get messages almost instantly after a reboot, but after 5 mins or so, the phone would only receive text messages after i hit power button to wake it up.
I am having the same problem. Have you figured out a solution yet ?

so the problem is the gf epic 4g phone time is 11:58am and i send her a text at 12:00 and when she texts me back its sends at 11:58 for her but instead of the text moving down to a new row, the text moves UP above my text at 12:00.
i both live in the same city but how come the time is different and why does her text move up instead of down?
is there a way she can fix this ? but disabling something?
please help and thanks.
What cell provider are you with?
It sounds like your provider and Sprint don't agree on the time. Since the stock sms progam appears to sort by the time the message was sent, I doubt there's a good way to fix this. Either of you could try manually changing your time, but it will change back next time you switch cell towers. She could try handcent or chompsms and see if either of those sort differently.
the strange part is, when i bought her the phone last month, it was never a problem till this morning.. but i am with t-mobile. i recently asked her to download handcent and lets see if that works out.
thanks

Anyone else unable to send text messages? I just got this phone and I absolutely love it but I can't send texts. I can receive them though. I have been on the phone with sprint for an hour and they are now telling me to take it back and get a new one.

Try updating your profile? Try handcent?
update profile and prl from menu > settings > about phone > system updates
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...

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...

lucky!!
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.

On the stock touch wiz messaging app I get these type of alerts/indicators/notifiers?? but am unaware of what they mean. The messages go through fine, but I get this small "X" right above the date on only some messages.
Does anyone else experience this? Has this already been discussed somewhere else?
I've attached a picture with arrows pointing at what I'm talking about.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
From what I know that means you have messages in those threads that failed to send.
Or rather, your phone THINKS the message did not send. I'm having this issue a lot lately with Sprint and this phone. In my area in fact a lot of people on the sprint network, including those using boost mobile, are having issues. The phone says the messages failed to send, but they actually do.
I have alot of text messages that fail as well. My wife's phone doesn't have this problem.

happens in low coverage areas. happens to me all the time at home. phone will say sending failed, but still sends, and people still reply. i used to keep hitting the exclamation point and it would keep trying to resend, even though it really went thru lol

That's their Google Talk status (you probably have their gmail addy in their contact info). The grey dot with an X means they are offline. If they're online, it would be a green dot; if they were connected and away, it would be a yellow dot with clock hands in it.
Thanks everyone. What's funny is that I dont have gmail addresses assigned to those contacts. Will look into it though, thanks again.
I talked to sprint and they are aware of this issue they are working to find a permanent fix, now this is what I was told. They also say turning the phone off and back on forces update into the phone because it reset with the network when you turn it off.
Just a bug probably.

That might actually be true. The next day after making the original post they were suddenly gone. I have not seen them since. It must be a bug they have to work out.
Thank you.
I had about 6 of those notifiers come up today and I immediately turned off my phone and re-started and they were all magically gone. Been texting since and haven't seen anymore.
Re-starting does indeed work as a temporary fix I suppose. Sprint should hurry up with an update already though.
it seems that my texts are not getting delivered, they show that they went through on my side but nothing on the other side??

I'm not sure what rom you are on. Do you use Google voice? I had issues with google voice doing weird crap to my text messages. Yesterday I was texting all day long, but none of the the replies back came through. Went online from a pc and disabled my number. After that, I started getting my texts again.

There is a simple explanation to this. Currently, Sprint is switching their towers from WiMax to LTE. You would think this would only cause data issues but they are literally changing and moving towers in weird directions. So this is hugely effecting us. So texts may be kind of wacky for now. Sorry =/
My texts have always been wacky. I learned a while back rebooting or calling (any phone number) will "refresh" and "sync" your device with the towers or something. Whenever I stop getting texts (>20 minutes) I call my google voice number, and usually a couple of texts will come through in a few seconds.
Wimax has nothing to do with texts.. And I'm pretty sure they're not even touch Wimax towers. I've been experiencing this lately with at&T customers. Only on android phones though not iphones.

make sure your prl's are update as well as your profile. power phone off for 5mins, then turn back on. if they continue to not go through, call sprint and have them do a profile refresh or reset. data transmitting is a switch problem usually. and these are simple troubleshooting steps to do that may or may not resolve the issue. sprint changing from wimax to lte has absolutely nothing to do with this issue. is that was the case, you would also have voice problems as well.
