I did a search and didn't find anything similar to my issue. I'm running EVO Classic ROM and have had no issues with texts until today. My texts just aren't coming through, and when I make a phone call I get a flood of texts. I've restarted my phone already.
Any ideas?

common things that could mess with txt msgs are airave, setting radio to cdma only and sprint towers acting goofy.
try checking ##3282# and see what evdo is set at. should be auto.
The same exact thing happened to me too! I thought i was the only one but guess not. I searched for answers here on line to figure out what the problem was and i never fixed it. I ended up having to unroot and take my phone into sprint and i got a refurbished Evo 4g for free.

Nothing has changed on my phone, i'm getting 4 bars right now. This is very frustrating.
I completely understand. I went through the exact same thing for over a month. Is there anything in particular you did to your phone right before it happened? Just wanting to see if we can try and figure out whats causing it

When I had the problem i chanhed roms like 7or 8 times and it kept happening on all of them, it wasn't an application causing it either because right when my phone booted up after flashing a rom, a would do a test call or text and my phone wouldn't ring. As soon as i placed my first call i would recieve the missed message.

It's usually because there's a problem in the area or the prl.

I had called Sprint several times and had them do everything on their end to fix it. They updated prl, profile, (ive also done this myself several times as well), they refreshed the signal on their end, they did about everything they could and i did everything i could do but nothing fuxed it. You can use Ghostly Sms from the market to catch the some of the missed messages, it didnt catch them all for me and it wont help withissing calls. Sprint also said it gad nothing to do with the area or towers and also my fiances phone is working just fine anyways.

Maybe you're right and Sprint just won't admit it..
Today the issue seems to have gone away, i'm receiving texts just fine now.
It's normally temporarily (24 hours-1 week) unless it's your prl. But like you said, just randomly went back to normal. Happened to me a few times on cm7.

About 2 weeks ago my phone stopped receiving SMS on the reg. They are ranging anywhere between 20 min to 2 hours to receive. There is no delay when I send to people, just on the receive. I've flashed back to sense and did a PRL and Profile update then restored CM 7.1. Sprint just says it's due to high usage due to the weather...not buying it. Weirdest thing about it being my wife's phone has the same issue and it developed at the exact same time. Running cm7.1, clockwork and savagedzen 2.2.1 BFS HAVS on both. I've also tried flashing to tiamat 4.0.7-799 w/sbc and same issue. Up to any suggestions
Is the wife using an EVO? Try a different ROM combo for a few days and see if this helps. How about CM7-RC1 after a full wipe?
You'll find the sweet spot
Grab the app Gingerbread SMS Ghostly, has grabbed quite a few lost texts for me.
https://market.android.com/details?id=it.sineo.android.GhostSMS&feature=search_result
Tried ghostly. Didn't work. The messages seem to come through if I place a call. I've resorted to calling my voicemail to check my text lately. I'm using 7.1 rc1. I did flash sprint lovers rom and sent myself a text with no luck either. Are there any network settings with sense based rom that can be checked/modified?

You will probably have to call sprint and be cranky, as its most likely a network issue.
They've reset my data a few times now and claim they've done all they can. I had the call escalated the last time and nothing really came of it. Seems like when I call them with the issue the text come through within 2 minutes. They claim anywhere up to 30 min is considered not an issue. Its BS. Since cellphone met text it's been near instant. My crappy Nokia block phone did just fine. I could understand if there was a national emergency but there is no reason for any lag. Ill call them again tomorrow. My wife sent me a message at 753pm and it is currently 10, No message

Did u change/update PRLs around the same time this started happening? Sprint changed a bunch of PRLs recently and now some people get terrible data. PRLs are mostly location based. So due to contracts with other carriers, your phone may be connecting to different towers and data is routed differently. Try a different prl for the hell of it
Sent from my HTC_supersonic using xda premium
no, hadnt made any changes to the phone. played around with a few prls and radios and no luck still. so far sprint has managed to give me $50 credit but no working phone.
I don't really know then man. Hmm. Try a data profile reset from the epst menu. ##3282# enter your msl, hit edit go to data profile and hit menu and then restore.
The phone will reboot itself and renew its data profile connection and prl etc all in one shot. Aside from that, I would think its a network type issue. Especially since its both of your phones.

Well...basically did that with my phone while on the phone with sprint last night. sat on the phone for 76 min (40 of that being on hold). I was using her phone to make the call. Got disconnected after all was said and done. Tried to call sprint back via 611 and automated message told me my account could not be authenticated or something to that nature. Long story short had to rerun activation using EPST reset. Her phone now works. Flashed it back to CM7.1 rc1 and hers is working correctly. Going to try to flash back to sense today on my phone and let it work its way through the reprogramming and I'll place a call or 2 from sense and wait a few before flashing back to CM. Thats the last thing i can really think to do.
On another note, I have found a temporary work-around on my issue for my phone. Google Voice has an option to intercept text messages. I turned that on and google voice gets them instantly. Only thing annoying is I dont have an SMS count anymore. ADW notifier will show a "?" on the icon for google voice. I guess that notification marker will do for now. Other than that, its a tolerable solution til i find the real one.
Sorry homey, I know it can be frustrating. But yeah try again with sense and see what happens. Best of luck.

I apologize in advance if this is a thread somewhere I couldn't find it.
I was recently using CM9 alpha3 on my E4GT, and last night suddenly I wasn't able to make calls. It says "we're sorry but we can't complete your call right now" or it just instantly hangs up. I thought it may have been an issue with the rom or modem, so I went back to Calkulin's GB EL29 ROM. Same issue, even after resetting PRL and profile multiple times with phone restarts. I can send and receive texts, and I can receive calls, but I can't make calls. Another thing to note is I use an Airrave in this house, I tried resetting that as well, and dialing *99 which is supposed to also refresh or reset it. None of these tactics have worked and I was wondering what else I could try. Thanks again in advance!

Maybe you might be hotlined from Sprint. Sounds silly but is you bill paid?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
possibly Blacklisted
expanding on the previous post..
Did you get the phone direct from SPRINT. or via ebay or at a pub?
Bills paid?
are you the only registered owner of the handset?
people will sell you a phone, then after a little bit of time passes. they register the phone as LOST/STOLEN/DAMAGED the network Blacklists it and provides the fraudster with a shiny new handset.
you end up out of pocket without a working phone.
its an increasingly popular fraud technique I'm afraid.
Silly question but it needs to be asked, are you sure it wasn't something with the number you were calling? Did you try calling several number?
Airrave services are having issues. Power it off for a day.

The bill is current, I have called multiple numbers, both on the sprint network and others neither has worked. I have other family members in the household on the same plan using the airrave and they are able to make calls. I bought the phone directly from sprint brand new from the store with my 2 year contract.
Why don't you use sfhub's one-click EL29, get yourself back to simple stock rooted and see if it clears up the issue. It's always my fall back whenever something goes awry.

Don't reflash Calkulin's ROM until you've been able to recover your voice calling services. Both CM9 and Calkulin's ROM are custom, so maybe that's where the problem is coming from. You need to get back as close to stock as possible then see if the problem persists.
Go back to EL29 (plain stock or stock-rooted), see if everything is working then you'll know if maybe it's something in the flashing process that is knocking out the voice calling.
I'm also having the exact same issue with my airave. If I unplug it I'm able to make calls without a problem. So as someone else posted I believe the airaves are having issues today. But I am on the stock FD26 ICS if anyone else is having the problem and thinks it has anything to do with the leak.

Yeah I unplugged the airave and I walked far outside to get a bar and was able to make a call. Didn't think it was the culprit because other family members can make calls with it, they have different phones though.
Thanks for the help guys
Having the same issue as well today. Tried powering down, chatted w sprint, still having issues. Don't think it has to do with build or rom as I have been on just about everything since I had mine.

Four people in the house on my plan and no-one has mentioned any issues with the airave other than the spamming txt issue sometimes.
Update: mine just started working again. Last night I reset the box by pressing the reset button for 15 seconds, still having issues after it reset through this morning. Sometime in the last hour it has become fully functional again. Weird.

No problems here, but I know my messages would always be in and out of order if I was roaming. Are you roaming or do you have a decent signal? If your messages are out of order when you have signal, there's something weird going on with your phone.
Mine dont come in order either, I am using handcent and Im on an airave.
Well, there's your problem. Airave . I have a love hate relationship with mine. I've had several phones in the past few years since its been out, and all phones have had connection problems with the airave . Text messages don't go thru, even tho they look like they did. They show up repeatedly, both sent and received. They arrive hours to days later. Its the airave . If I'm out and about with decent signal, all phones have behaved well. At home connected to airave , not so much. Drives me and my wife nuts. I have no other options at home since I get no cell reception at all, and this is my only form of communication. Like I said, love hate. Resetting the airave , and doing a prl update on the phone helps, for a little while. YMMV.

I am in the same boat, no signal here. I did put prl 24006 on my phone and do get a signal without the airave, but hubby's phone doesnt get a signal at all so we still have to have it on for a bit more until he gets his note. Then I will be putting the prl on his phone too.
you might try it, link:

Thank you so much! It took me forever to figure out how to do it. I used edit instead of view after the ##3282# and entered my MSL, and the option to write prl was not there. Hit view by mistake and saw it for the first time today. I did load a different corporate prl. 56009.PRL. So far its giving me full bars and LTE while I'm sitting on my couch. Normally I get zilch. I'm gonna load it into my wife's SIII in the morning and see the reaction in her face when she sees full bars and the airave unplugged. Thanks!

Pretty much what the title says.
Every day, maybe 3-4 times, I won't be able to send or receive text messages. Text messages won't arrive until I reboot.
No error messages pop up unless I reboot.
Anyone else experiencing this? Else I might get a replacement.

I don't think it's the phone, my fiance's Evo LTE has done that at least a couple times and I saw it on Saturday night, Sunday morning. I actually called Sprint to report it as I'm sure it's a network issue and as soon as I made a call, as I ended the call, the flood of texts and notifications started coming in. Please report it. The next time it happens, I plan to report it using a good phone so I can show them that nothing is hitting the affected phone. Still, with that being said I think it's a network issue rather than phone related specifically, almost like the towers are not returning a signal when the phone pings them, but the phone is not smart enough to think there's a problem.
Anyway, not sure what your home situation is, but to test it, my fiance was alerted to the fact when my brother called her to ask if I was getting any messages. She tried to call me and it went straight to voicemail. Texts never hit my phone at all....until I tried a test call which worked just fine and as soon as I ended the call, a deluge of notifications kept coming through from the night before.
Please report it. Test it if you have someone at home that can try and text or call you as well.
Hope that helps...of course if you want to swap out the phone for a replacement, then by all means
My father (works for sprint) said they're working on towers around our house, so that's the issue.
Thanks for the input
But no one in my family seems to have this issue. Not the HTC Evo 3D, Motorola Photon Q, Galaxy S3, or that indestructible military phone. So maybe it's linked to the no/low bars I get, even though I live in a 5-bar LTE network?

I'm having too many issues with this phone. I'm probably going to go with an GS3. Shame, the screen quality is amazing, but I can't live with 2-8 hour delayed text messages.
Signal bar is working 5% of the time.
Weird wifi settings, lack of developer support, rushed–production bugs, and other nicks just make this a 'once you know me, you'll hate me' type–deal.
Sad, I really like this phone.

If you have a Sprint Airwave as well, that could be the issue. I've had the same issue because of it.
After you come home, you have to wait until your phone picks up the signal from the Airwave, vice outside.
Or sometimes you just have to reboot your Airwave.
Just giving another possible problem.
I had a similar issue. I could not receive calls or text messages for several hours, and the only reason I noticed is because I got yelled at for not answering my phone :/ I had several people with me when I noticed the issue so I had them call me and it would sound like the phone is ringing for the caller but my phone never rang and if they sent a text I didn't get it. Outgoing calls and texts worked fine though, which is strange. After several hours I received a flood of messages and everything worked OK.
I feel your frustration with the phone's rush to production issues. The text typing issue and the issue with mobile data after being on WiFi for several hours are driving me nuts. I am holding out that this is fixed with the coming update or a developer ROM because the hardware is impressive.

Just happened to me the first time. Airave Support said next time, call them and they can remotely reboot the Airave, which should release the phone after a reboot (and possibly an Update Profile). He said if it keeps happening they'll send me a newer 2.5 Airave to see if that clears the issue. Though for me outgoing calls/texts worked, it was just incoming that I couldn't get.
I don't have a Sprint Airwave.
I have a clear - 107 dBm 33 asu signal.
It's happening about twice a week now. Hopefully it's just a tower thing.
Still would like to see my signal while using Wifi though.

I'm glad I found this post. I'm also having the same issue. I was having missed calls but instant voicemails when I was stock unrooted and now also rooted on JellyBomb 11.0 ROM. It doesn't make sense because it will be in different areas where I always have Sprint Service. I have no idea what the problem is but guess I'm calling Sprint tomorrow
I've had this issue, but also had it on other phones. it's Sprint, the way the phone handles network switching or whatever. if a call starts during that split second your chip is don't something else, scanning towers, sending or receiving txt, receiving data, etc, you will miss the call. if it's a split second after the other thing has started, the call takes priority like it's suppose to and comes through. I think someone said even on Wi-Fi, when your cdma pings a tower or whatever it does, that initial half-second initiation also prevents calls from getting through.
I've also noticed txt messages won't send if you try to send the same split second of the cdma whatever(3g) initiating something else. like if you start to receive a txt right when you try to send one, it won't send. but a fraction after it starts to get one, it sends right after like nothing.
this has always been a huge problem for me at home because I'm right in a slight valley right on the
edge of 3 towers' coverage, so while I never quite lose signal anymore, like my htc phones did, it still is constantly switching between towers, so I miss a lot of calls and msg. everyone complains to me about not answering or calling them back but there like a third of my calls don't get through. but when I'm at work, it's low, like that 3% the other guy says. totally normal for Sprint! the same cause as why we can't data and call at same time. I had a evo lte for a few months, and I was getting most of my calls. I can only assume that's because it had 2 chips in it, which is how it did calling and data at same time.
that's my most disappointed thing this beautiful phone is missing.
