Sprint MMS Issue with Airvana

Has anyone else experienced problems with text messaging and the Airvana? When I send a text it tells me that message is not going through and to try again. The recipient actually receives the message and gets spammed 5+ times with the same message.
Also, if I received text messages during this period I get all the responses together within a few seconds.
This only occurs, randomly, while connected to the Airvana. I know this is isolated to the Airvana unit because when I switch back to my old Airave it doesn't happen.

This is why I stopped using mine.

happens to me all the time with that damn airvana

I used to have the same issues, and it was very frustrating. I did however notice improvement after I ported my sprint # to google. and upgraded to the latest radio. It's been a good 2 months and I have not had any issues. I've also upgraded my wireless router to a Netgear 300N. Hope this can be a bit of help.

Yep, just unplug the damn thing. I used mine for 2 days and had way too many problems. It now sits in a box in my closet.

I have the same problem every now and then. Whenever I send a text and it seems to be taking too long to send, I delete it. the recipient still gets it several times but not the 20+ times they would normally get it if I weren't to delete it. Only hapens every once in a while, it is quite annoying though.

Yea there's a thread over on Sprintusers where people are having identical problems. Someone posted that Sprint is aware of the issue and working on fixing it. (This was like Oct 2010).
Still broken

Working on it my a** I have had this problem since last year.

You want them to work on your ass?

I just got mine and it wont even connect to mobile sprint says there having issues with all airaves. So you send me an airave to help my signal yet its having its own issues...im wearing thin here lately.

Where as other carriers would look at you and laugh that your contract isn't up and send you nothing...
An issue like that doesn't last very long.

I called Airave tech support and they are telling me I need to update my PRL and it'll fix all my problems. BS.
He says they have some tool that is supposed to show 5 green dots for my phone but I have 2 black X's.

yeah.. you get to choose between working texts all the time or good signal.

So im not the only one. He seem like it only happens when texting back and forth with someone quickly. If your airave mobile light wont turn green and only blinks amber. You need the higher up sprint airave tech to do a firmware reset. Fixed my issue

My airvana stops working rondomly all the time, they keep telling me its my ISP because it fails the quallity of service test they want to to do. but yet every other Qos test I run I pass. And last night my nexus would not sent mms, but my wifes phone worked just fine.

I thought this was fixed with a hard reset. Problem is happening again. I'm going to try to switch back from Airvana to my Airave unit.
Tech support is telling me it'll take up to 4 hours to provision my unit? Sounds like an awfully long time!

I plugged in Airvana unit back in last night after maybe 3 months. Of course, after one day my text messaging problem returns.
I call Sprint and this time the tech support says it is a known issue whereas before they said "no reported problems." It is apparently just a problem with Airvana and EVOs/Epics. They said that the manufacturer of the Airvana units are aware of the problem and there is not current fix available. They essentially told me to disconnect the unit to text message or to wait until I'm out of Airvana range. That's pretty ridiculous if you ask me!

Ya I have this exact same issue, so effing annoying, and if I disconnect my airvana I get no service at all and texts don't send anyway :/

Mine situation is even weirder. The first day or two after I install a new ROM, I'll have the issue where the person I'm sending the text to will get it 10 times, and I'll get replies 10 times, and then the problem will suddenly disappear. Happened on every ROM I've ever used since I got my Airave, both AOSP and Sense.

It has been confirmed as phone and Airvana related by Sprint. Won't matter if you're stock or on any special ROM.

Dead phone/messaging service

Hey guys,
Ok I'm having a issue here. I'm running cm9 beta0, with el30 modem. And all of the sudden today, I can't place calls, they get stuck on dialing, and texts will not send. I can however send and receive texts through google voice application. But calls will still not work. I tried re-booting/re-installing the rom, anything that I could think of to do without a computer, I think I've done.
Its been this way for 3 hours now. Could it be the local tower or something? Or is my modem just crapped out? 3g works just fine. I'm so confused.
Anyone have any ideas?

Phone keeps losing signal

I am on GleanGB 1.1.2 with the EL30 modem.
Yesterday I was out and noticed I kept getting dropped calls. I did not think much about it. Today I am at home where I generally get 6 bars and have no trouble. I am in an excellent sprint area. Today the calls either drop after a few minutes, or I get an error message "Signal Lost".
I have not added any new programs on the phone. I have tried turning the phone off and on, and also bulled the battery.

I do not know if this matters, but Text messages have been fine, I can send them and receive them.

Probably is network maintenance on your area. If it don't clear up in a few days try odining to stock EL30 and see if that makes a difference.

I've had horrible data speeds etc since i switched to the EL30 modem, so I went to FB15 last night and so far, better over all for me. Who knows if any other modem will work better for you, but EL30 just wasn't cutting it for me.

Can I switch to other modems on CleanGB?

That happened to me .. I called sprint and the said they were doing maintenance .. they lady said it would be fixed in a few hours but it actually took a few days!

You can change to any modem you want and it won't impact your rom at all.

[Q] No Text Messages

I've been having the problem lately where I can no longer receive text messages, from anyone. My text messages are still received however.
I have only experienced this while running Calkulin's E4GT v2.9.2 EL29 with no other modification. The first time I experienced this, the only problem I could think of was that I did not use the Format all zip file.
So I went through the flashing process again and got some strange force close on google maps and Sprint tv. I initially flashed to fc22 modem, then back after kobridges post concerning sprint tv. I did update profile and prl after each modem flash.
And now I cannot receive text messages. Any ideas?

Flash back to stock and start fresh

Obviously. But seeing as this will be the third attempt with hopefully different results, I am hoping for an insight concerning the cause of this circumstance.

I had the exact same problem when I installed EG4T ROM. Tried many of the same thing you tried, along with many others.
Long story short, I called Sprint and the had to add my phone back to the other carries (att, version, tmo) switching map/database. Took about 3 hours once the request was put in. Text messaging has worked like a charm ever since.
Hope this helps...

Another issue I discovered was lack of GPS functionality; first only on wireless networks and then even with the GPS sensor activated.
I might should mention that I activated the phone in south Memphis/north MS then went back to work in New Orleans. I had the issue in both locales. While on the phone with Sprint, they mentioned that they have dropped some capacity in NOLA due to lower population.
I came back to north MS finally had the time to take my phone to a Sprint store. Of course as soon as I handed it over, it started receiving text messages. They tested it, whatever that means and found it to be fully functional.
The Sprint guy basically said he thinks it's a network problem. He was cool about the whole thing. I told him I had it rooted, he responded that he has seen rooted phones overcome some network problems before.
So I came home, rooted, flashed calkulins el29 and I still have text messaging.
oh well, thanks for reading. I hope this all can help someone.

[Q] can't send/recieve texts in Denver area?

For some reason my SGSIII stopped receiving and sending texts, I've never seen this issue before. can still make and receive calls. I tried rebooting and wiping cache, but it still won't work. I'm using Wicked's JB ROM. Maybe there is an outage in the Denver area?

Weird I live in Denver as well and everything works fine for me

All the tmo workers are stoned. Wait a bit and it should get better.

weird, just cleared up this morning.

I've been noticing data disappearing for hours at a time lately in the Denver metro area. Might be related it's really annoying when it happens.

So I've been noticing this has been happening at the same time every night for a few hours? Weird as hell. I'll be back to Seattle on Friday and am interested to see if it's ROM related or service.

If you're tired of constantly rebooting the device, try "Network Signal Speed Booster" from the Play Store. It cycles the radio modem. It helps in a low strength area.

This didn't help the issue. After executing the speed booster the texts still stay in the outbox.
