[Q] Has this happened to anyone else? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Someone calls, but the phone doesn't ring at all. I just get a voicemail notification. And ppl will txt me, but I dont get them for a while, and then I get a flood of txts all at once a little while later. I'm in a good coverage area too. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone know the cause, it's getting annoying.

[Q] No dial tone?

For the past hour, I've been trying to make a call and I can't get a dial tone. I got it to go through once, but no it won't. It just makes a blaring "BOOP BOOP BOOP" sound, idk how to explain it xD,
But has anyone else gotten it? Is it a problem with Sprint, or is my modem broken or something? I have no idea why this is happening.
Thanks.
Come on, someone please respond
What modem are you on?
Sent from Godot's place.
Me too!!! I try to call out and after about 20 - 30 seconds I get a fast busy signal. I can receive calls no problem.
I DO have Google Voice active on my account...
EDIT:
Just disabled GV and now it's all good. Google must be having problems.
Sounds like a network problem with sprint. You could try flashing a dif modem or even odining to stock but imo it sounds like a network issue on sprints end. Try calling customer service.

A boop boop boop tells me I'm connected to my airave.
Try dialing *99 send
It will either say you are now in airave coverage or this feature code is incorrect if your not.

In my case it is an issue w/ Sprint and GV. I disabled GV on my account and presto, I could make calls again.
Of course, this was after flashing a couple of different modems... sigh.
Normally I try not to feed the trolls and wasn't even thinking when I wrote it but I guess it goes to show you can learn new words when trolling other devices forums. Maybe you should thanks me for increasing your vocabulary. ;-)

Hah, that fixed it for me too! I ended up upgrading my modem to ef10 but deleting Google voice worked perfectly.

I noticed last week some strange things happening with sms and mms with gv so I discontinued it then.

Both my wife's and my phone are doing the same thing. I spent a good 30 minutes on the phone with customer support. Interestingly, I was able to get it to work for about 5 minutes by dialing *740 (but not pressing talk) then rebooting the phone. The CS rep said it had something to do with "call forwarding being enabled" for whatever that's worth. I immediately asked if it was related to the GV integration being setup on both lines and she said no (but in my head I'm thinking, yeah right).
I did notice that my PRL was the "older" one and I just did a PRL update on my phone, but that didn't fix anything.
If you disable GV integration, can I just re-enable it later when they fix this? Is there any delay in switching GV on/off the account?
It worked instantly for me. As for turning it back on, I've done it a few times in the past.

Well another issue came up for me. I can send texts but I can't receive them. Any ideas?

Is it one of those things where you reboot or change airplane on and off and then they arrive or do they never arrive?

Not Receiving Texts From One Person?

For some reason texts from only one friend aren't coming through. Any idea what could be the problem?

If you can find out a possible reason why, I'd be more than happy to try and replicate it for texts coming from my ex

lol this is how i block or unblock people from texting
To chime in - i had this exact problem until 4:44 eastern time monday.
All her texts came in at once then. Texting to and from others was fine for both her and i, and she could receive my texts.
She is on ATT - perhaps they have that in common.

[Q]Anyone get lag/freezing when selecting to call a contact?

I have been getting this since day 1 with my stock gs2. I select to call and phone freezes for 10-15 seconds then eventually calls
Anyone else experience this?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Yes. I've just recently noticed it this past few weeks. I'm sure it wasn't doing it when I first got the phone. It is quite annoying. My phone is rooted and on its stock rom. I'd be happy to hear if anyone found a solution to this?
I'd like to add that it is random... it doesn't happen all of the time.

I'm recently getting this as well..it's Lee.c handcent does it occasionally too, but they're probably unrelated

JB SMS Issues

Hey guys. I don't have an S3, but my brother does. He just got the jb ota this morning. I sent him a text once this morning, and he's gotten the same dupe text 15 times throughout the day. The remainder of my texts never sent through. I told him to clear caches and sms data, and of course a reboot. Nothing fixed it. Anyone else have this issue as well?
Thanks!

Is he using an Airrave? or an Airvana?
This has been happening to me all day, also happening to my mom. It seems that there is an Airvana outage.

Well thats what we have too, and we are having the same issue also. Seems to be a problem with the Airvana/Airrave.

I think we're onto something with this. My bro sent me an email this morning, said all 11 of my real texts came through this morning, when he went to work (presumably after getting out of airrave range).
I wonder if this is going to be an ongoing issue -- it'll be quite annoying.

Yes quite so. I just unplugged it. It was working just fine without it until about 2 hours ago when I stopped getting texts even without it. I am beyond annoyed.
I don't have an airrave or airvana but when I am roaming while at work, I get the same text multiple times and even updating the prl and profile doesn't seem to help. Only happens when I am roaming though.

Not receiving some text messages

Hi there,
I was texting a friend recently and I found out that I wasn't getting some of the messages they sent me. They were not limited to just text messages, but MMS as well. Is there anybody else having a similar issue?
I also sometimes get the "message could not be sent" notification, more often than usual. I have done a device restart but I don't think there has been any difference.

Service issues on both sides? Could be that ur service provider is doing something to the towers and its effecting ur service. Whats ur signal strength when it happens?

I always have 4G at my house and school, which are the only places that I've been recently. Generally I'm around 3 bars.
This is a known issue with tmobile. Especially when sending texts to Verizon phones.

That's exactly the issue. The person I am texting is on Verizon with an iPhone. It's getting quite annoying now. Is there anyway to overcome this?
