Could be a network issue. Other wise, make sure you installed the rom fresh from a full wipe.
Yes I've had issues with not being able to send/receive tests. In fact, based on the behavior of the message handling, it seemed like my messages had somehow switched so that they were being sent over the data network. For me this issue was caused by Google Voice.
So, OP, I've got a few questions for you.
1. Are you using Google Voice?
2. If yes, is your Sprint number integrated with Google Voice?
3. What ROM & kernel are you using?
4. What baseband radio version are you using?
5. What hboot version are you using?

No worries man. I used to work 12-14 hours per day at a marketing firm. It gets real old real fast.
Did your messaging issues start after you flashed the ROM? Or did it work fine for a while and then seem to randomly stop working? Since you are using a sense ROM you might want to try the ## codes to reset and verify your network settings. I'm not sure what they are. You may have to look them up on Google or call tech support and ask them.
Ok imma try that first and if that don't do imma hit yall back .......well ill hit yall back ither way...

Try flashing a different ROM and see if the messaging works. I've heard of Infected before but not for the Evo. So I don't know much about it.

Not sure if there is already a post for this however as Sunday just past I not been able to receive a SMS or MMS on my Evo4g. At first I thought it was cause I had updated to the latest Decks Rom however I have also tried sense Roms and still nothing.

But yes, my mother is experiencing the same issue but i am not. Ive read a few posts that it has been mostly in the South East region. Try to flash a stock sense, update profile and PRL, if nothing after that. Call sprint and see what they can do for you. Make sure your on a 1.0 sense rom when if and when you call.

Google voice might have something to do with it if it is installed. If not i would wait a while because sprint is updating all their towers so it might be a tower issue and blow over soon. But in the meentime i would download the google voice app and pair ur sprint number to it so you can text if u need to. But u need internet on to use it just so u know.

Try updating profile/prl in system updates and reboot. If that doesn't fix it contact sprint and have them attempt to push it through reactivation.
But no, simply rooting the device will not solve the problem you're explaining. If the above steps don't work, just swap it out?? Clearly its not a widespread issue and likely has something to do with its activation.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Assuming you or he already updated the profile and PRL correctly and talked with Sprint (while on the phone to assure it is registered correctly!) I'd recommend using sfhub's stock root [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101] This provides a clean start with el29 modem, kernal and stock ROM, and provides root access. Since he's having problems I'd do a FULL restore (reset user data). I'd then use Auto Root with CWM - option C [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728]. That will give you a stock rooted phone with CWM for recovery and additions. Make sure all works. That may be enough. It could be just horrible reception at his place. Might want to check out an Airave device. There are also posts on how to tweak 3g/4g speeds [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265990] Then if all is working maybe think about another ROM. I'm loving Blazer. Calkulin's and Strong Steve's are also super. Good luck.

- Google Now closing quickly. Seems there is a fix by clearing cache or reset.
- BT not stable for some audio devices.
How is your battery life, has it improved, I read one report on the Sprint device that it did.

Hi wizard, this thread is about the official Samsung update via Kies. I am not sure about VM-specific ROMs as I am not rooted.
Currently on stock ICS, Virgin has visual voice mail but it only seems to work sometimes for me. I am not sure how it will work on JB or if it will even exist on the official JB. I am pretty sure some vendor-specific features like Sprint ID and Virgin Mobile ID are lost in the official JB release.

I guess I miss understood the thread. The title implied there was a E4gT with a Virgin Mobile GB28 based rom in existence.
I am looking for a phone.apk, that used the non-visual voice mail system, which is comparable with the E4GT. I was hopping I might be able to get it from this rom.

Are you unfamiliar with the One Clicks?
The name is accurate...One click.
If it takes you more than 5 minutes to read how to click a button once, you may want to stay on the stock rom.
Basically whenever someone send me an MMS (photo etc) It arrives as if it was a group message from the sender and myself ??
So wen I reply to it ... I send myself a txt also.
Happens in GoSms Pro and stock Client. I treid removing GoSMS to see if it was doing it and still same issue. ANYONE have any idea? its driving me nuts.

Huh - strange that it's happening w/ the stock rom. I am reasonably sure that he put in some of the group messaging stuff that folks have been working on, and I have heard that what you are describing can happen as a result, but that does not explain the behavior if you saw this on stock. In your stock messaging app - have you checked out the settings? I remember when I was messing around w/ group messaging on the stock TW mms there was a setting related to group messaging - might be worth a peek.

I would recommend trying a tmo ROM since you're in tmo now. As a matter of fact tweaked with the AOSP theme is nice with even more customization then beans. I seem to remember that Verizon messaging app handles mms differently, but could be wrong. Also, you may get wifi calling if you go the route I suggested.

Totally agree . LOL I kept the sch-i605 after I switch from vzw to tmo but now am just becoming bothered by the issues with flashing, specific modems etc.
Looked into merging framework2 and wificalling.apk and just gave myself a headache after decompiling and trying to UML the flows.... Rather just buy the TMO variant now with native AWS/LTE / wifi calling and either keep the sch-i605 as a backup or toss it on swappa or ebay.

I bought my phone already flashed to Verizon prepaid. It is currently on ICS 4.0.4 rooted stock build FH13. The guy who flashed it sold it to me and told me to never update it cuz it could destroy the flash. Is this true? Also, hot spot is working and i wouldn't want to lose that if i were to update. So should i just disable OTA update notifications with FOTAkill.apk and stay on 4.0.4?
When you update just change the APN for MMS. The flash should stay regardless of the ROM on the phone. Be sure to do a nandroid first. Also someone who has done a flash to another carrier can please chime in

DO NOT UPGRADE! If you're on PagePlus, the system WILL NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. The place you bought it will charge you to re-flash it back to 4.0.4.
Just curious but how will flashing a new ROM in Odin or cwm make the system not recognize the phone? From what I can tell the "flash" was using the numbers from a donor phone. All the info used in the flash except the APN would all still be there after a new ROM flash. Can you not factory reset the phone after a flash to page plus as well? I would like to know what your info is. Because this is the first I have heard it.

I'm also curious about this as well. I have flashed many phones to various carriers and never had a problem with a upgrade.

Ok it looks like someone is saying it will be safe to update and someone else is saying that it is NOT safe to update. I cannot afford to lose the flash as I do not have access to a computer so I can't take the chance unless someone can absolutely positively for sure tell me that I will not lose my Verizon Prepaid flash.
If the Epic 4g Touch was made for Verizon I wouldnt be worried but being that its originally a Sprint phone I am having doubts. Isn't the OTA update designed for the Sprint Epic 4g Touch? If I do end up letting the OTA update install what version will I end up being on?

These people have done it. Maybe ask in there or pm them. I am leaning towards operator error for the person saying don't do it.

I use Verizon prepaid on my epic 4g and epic 4g touch. I have been able to Odin both phones and not loose any settings. I also was able to ota and install cwm and flash any cm10.1 build and everything worked. Text calls and 3g work. MMS doesnt work unless I change APN settings

If I do the OTA update, what version will I be on? And will foxfi or SVPT work on it?
Beezie I tried following tutorials all over google on getting my mms to work, but I cant get it to work on my native/built-in messaging app... Only way I can get MMS messages is by using GO SMS PRO app. Can I screenshot you my ##DATA# settings and let me know if i need to change any anything?

Well the update depends on which brand epic touch your on. (Sprint, Virgin Mobile, Boost) it will update you too jellybean either way just your modem will be different. I have a sprint brand.
Ya it is a pain to get MMS to work threw touchwiz without a 3rd party app of some sorts. I find it pretty easy on CM builds. I normally just ditch MMS and send the pic threw gmail cuz its less of a headache. But sure you can send me a screenshot of the settings. I'm willing to help as much as I can.

Okay three screenshots attached to this message. Thanks beezie
Interesting. I have the same settings saved on my computer for when I had touchwiz... This is what I was saying with having to use a 3rd party app and the headaches.
Have you considered jumping over to a cm10.1 build? MMS used to be a big issue for me until I realized what a pain it can be from phone to phone to upgrade etc. I'll flash over to stock tomarow after work and let you know if I can get it working right again. Sorry I can't be of more further help.

Im actually scared to flash my rom as i dont have access to a computer if it bricks. But i might if someone were to guarantee i wont lose root or flash AND i will still have wifi tethering capability. Im gonna do some research on the cm10.1 rom. Yea id appreciate it if you could help me out tomorrow. Thanks again man. Btw, does you're phone go into airplane mode every now n then? Mine does for about ten seconds then comes back on. It'll happen like maybe five times a day. Was wondering if that's normal. If not, is it something cm10.1 could fix?
Its not normal. There was a bunch of bugs in the ROM you are on. Being on that build though because its rooted you can use mobile Odin. To get the modem you would need to flash that in cwm though.

Yup patroa is correct. ICS builds for the epic touch were horrible. (In My Opinion) I wish I could give you a 100% guarantee that nothing could go wrong but there is always a small slight chance.
No its not normal for airplane mode to pop on from time to time.
I rooted and used mobile Odin to install a cwm and flashed a cm10.1 build all without a volume down button (can't easily get into download mode or at all) I was able to do it from a ICS build. The same build you are on.

What would you say the odds are of something going wrong? Like if you were to compare the amount of horror stories to the amount of success stories what the ratio look like? One bad scenario to one hundred successful ones?

Just follow directions to the letter. Almost all if not all issues in flashing ROMs are from not following directions close enough. You are already rooted so get mobile Odin from play store or here on xda download el26 or el29 kernel from the kernel repository DL the tar file flash in mobile Odin boot into recovery make backup wipe and flash the ROM of your choosing. There is a ton of awesome ones out there
