I'm running Calk's rom with the Rogue Outlaw kernel right now, but it's been happening ever since I first got the phone, even before I rooted. Sometimes incoming or outgoing texts just won't arrive...it's like they just disappear. I don't think it's an LOS issue, because I still have full bars, instead of the "no" circle.
Is this happening to anyone else? Am I just missing something?
Yep, happens to me every now and then, if I reboot the phone, I get them.
Only way I know I get them is I use google voice, so texts come to my phone and my computer. I hear my computer go, and I wait for them on my phone, never show up.
Oh, good call. I've noticed that if I send texts through the google voice app, they always go through, but if I try stock, handcent or Go SMS they just randomly drop, or show up hours later. Called Sprint, and they said that there weren't any service issues.
No idea what's going on, but it's annoying as hell.

This is really weird.
I know people have been having problems with Loss of Service, but so far, I've only had it happen once or twice. What's really bothering me, is that I've noticed an invisible service dropping problem that's actually way worse.
Twice now, my phone has full signal bars, and isn't roaming, but my wife will come home and say she sent me some texts. Sure enough, no texts. So I reboot, and suddenly I get a flood of text and voicemail alerts. So, not only was I not getting texts, but all calls were going straight to voicemail, as if the phone was powered off.
Has anyone noticed this?
I'm not rooted, no alternative kernel, nothing. I'm completely stock. If this keeps up, I have no alternative but to return the phone. I have a job where I have to be available for emergency alerts, and this is definitely a major problem.
I mean... why would the phone say it has a connection if it clearly doesn't?
Yeah can confirm the same. Its like the phone has los but doesnt realize it.

This is definitely a problem. It's usually referred to as "Stealth LOS". (or "POOS" but I have no idea what that stands for.)
If you decide to keep the phone, a workaround is to set Tasker to automatically reboot if it senses no signal. It should work even for the stealth cases. Obviously not everyone will feel that they should have to workaround the issue though.
Hello all. I'm on Stock rooted jellybean and I have been getting this annoying little pop up that stops me from sending any texts unless I click allow after every text, I have noticed it happens when I'm texting 3-4 people at once. I also have noticed that a reboot see to get rid of the message for a while then it starts to happen again. So I was wondering if anyone knows how to permanently get rid of the pop up. I haven't had the time to decompile anything and look but any help would be appreciated. Attached is a picture of the pop up.
You might have too much of a life. Try lessening the amount of life you have and see if it resolves the issue. Until then, ignore your phone errors, because you've got plenty of life to attend to.
Seriously, it's always nice to see errors being reported, because you never know when you will be that person with the error nobody's heard of. Thankfully I haven't had this problem yet, and I've been very active on my phone, as I'm out of town for the good portion of this month. (Verizon has already warned me about data.. :crying
I have the same problem. I went through all the options, didn't find anything >_< its really bugging me right now, I might switch to MIUI because of this
This started happening pretty much immediately since I installed the 4.4.3 update late July, and has just gotten worse.
For a single one of my contacts, the SMS app lags HORRIBLY whenever I am doing anything with said person. It takes about half a minute just to load when I click his name, and the phone keeps completely freezing for up to 10-15 seconds EACH letter I type! It's not just the SMS app itself, but even the keyboard freezes up and is unresponsive. I can keep typing and it will apparently actually record the next 30 or so taps and just blaze through them ... then lag for another half minute or so again. None of the settings (how little there are) have had any effect. Once I click send the message also takes a bit before it appears and starts to send. Any action with this contact open in the SMS app seems to lag my phone like a unusable nightmare.
Since this is the person I tend to text the most, I have been tempted to crush the phone in my hand at this point. It is ONLY happening with them, and ONLY after the 4.4.3 update. It's not consistent either; I was still having this issue earlier today, but right now as I wanted to text him again it was working perfectly lag-free.
I know the first response anyone is going to say is to wipe my phone, but with this being the only issue I have, I really do not want to completely obliterate everything and start over from scratch just to fix one person in my SMS app. On top of that, I want to keep my SMS texting history as well. (Plus I would have no idea if restoring a backup wouldn't also restore the issue).
Has anyone else encountered or heard of anything like this? Or has any ideas of anything OTHER than wiping the phone or my SMS history I can try? Considering the app only pre-loads the last 10 or so messages when you open a contact anyway, I highly doubt it's my history. I am going nuts with this stupid thing.
It is probably something in that message thread.
Deleting all messages from that person will surely fix it, based on what you've said.
You can try wiping the messaging apps cache. Other than that, I think you're stuck.
Second the opinion above. If it's only one message thread doing it, seems likely it's something unique to that thread. Too many messages, pics, etc. I used to use Titanium Backup to save messages between rom flashes, back when I cared about them, so a backup app can save the messages, let you delete the thread and see if it still happens with a blank slate.
I've been having various issues with my T999L for the last several weeks:
1) the phone will just crash without warning. This seems related to text messaging somehow, or to Handcent, as it most often happens while I am in the middle of typing a text message. However, it does happen on occasion at other times.
2) My phone will sometimes just lose the ability to send text messages. I've tried uninstalling Handcent and using the stock app but it doesn't help. Rebooting does nothing as well. I'll try to send a text and it will just spin forever. It can last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, after which I can send messages by deleting all pending messages and then resending them. I don't lose LTE data or the ability to make calls. only texting is affected.
Both these issues have happened on CM11 and PAC-man, so I'm not sure if my phone is somehow damaged or it's a kernel problem or what. I'm kind of hoping it's a known issue and there's a fix, but I haven't been able to find anything.

Ive had this happen a few times as well. When it starts spinning I turn on airplane mode and then once it comes on I turn it back off and usually the message will go through.
Try using a stock based rom and see if issue persists
I'm getting tired of it, wifi disconnects and reconnects or flat out doesn't work, mobile data flat out doesn't work most times unless I reboot the phone for either of them to work. I'm rebooting about 4-5 times a day just to get either working. I'm at my wit's end and about to get rid of this thing as soon as I can.
I generally love this phone, but I'm seeing similar issues. WiFi says connected, but I don't get any data. I thought it was my network at first, but noticed other devices working. Tested network while my phone was acting like this, and my WiFi and network were working great.
Separately, my phone sometimes won't dial out. I use Google Voice, so I'm not sure if it's the phone or Google that's not working, but it's very frustrating. The dial screen comes up, then immediately disappears. No errors or anything to indicate that it ran into problems. The dial screen just flashes. Rebooting seems to fix that. But all very frustrating. Especially when I'm trying to call someone while driving. I don't want to have to look at the screen. I want to be able to tell the phone to call and know it's going to do it. Instead, I tell it to call, it confirms it will call, then nothing.
