Dead phone/messaging service - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] Incredible Acting Up - 3G but nothing else

So this afternoon my Incredible suddenly stopped being able to text. It just keeps getting "Message not sent." Also I cant place any calls or receive them. I dont think this is a Verizon issue because my brother has my old LG Dare and he can text, he even called me and got my voicemail. The phone's 3G is working fine still. Also it says I have service, a couple bars. Anyone else have this issue or know what's up?
I've of course power-cycled a couple times.
I haven't installed anything new today, last thing being Google+ earlier this week.
The phone has been running CyanogenMod 7.1.0-RC1-Inc since it was released, with the regular Cyanogen kernel that comes with it.
Did you pull the battery?

Text message problem

I stopped receiving text messages. I have to make a call and connect... When the call connects my text messages drop. I was running the EL29 modem with Miui. I reflashed modems to EL13 and Caulks rom... Still the same problem. If I use roam control and roam the messages come in fine.
I have been on Miui for weeks and have not tinkered with the phone... This has literally come up out of the blue.
Any ideas?

Not the exact same problem but I'm in Kansas and my wifes is receiving/sending slowly. Plus I'm receiving the same message twice at times (thought we were finally over that issue).

Do you have an airave?
I am having problems sending and receiving texts as well.
Running Team Rogue's 1.4.1 Kernel and Calk's 2.8.1 ROM. I thought it was a google voice thing but it seems as if other people are having this issue.
I am on chat with Sprint right now. Will keep you guys posted as to what they tell me.
**EDIT**
The sprint tech re-provisioned my text services (whatever that means) - he says to try again in 20-30 mins to see if it fixes the problem. Will post a followup.

Yes.... But it is happening outside of my airave coverage.
UPDATE:
Re-provisioning did nothing. Texts are still randomly being lost
Was having this issue the last couple days while running calk 2.8.1 w/ EK02 modem. Upped to EL29, left phone off for a while and finally updated profile, haven't had any issues the last 24 hours. No idea if any of that helped or just coincidence heh.

[Q] Is wifi calling having problems??

Hi all, I don't know if it is my GS3 but wifi calling is not working rigth. It keeps disconnecting from time to time. Sometimes says its working and incoming calls are sent to voicemail without ringing, other times people say the phone didn't even ring and the call dropped. And sometimes the incoming calls came and the phone frezees when trying to answer it. And sometimes it just work fine...
The problem is that I had another GS3 which was working perfect but I cracked the screen and got another one (New), and this one started giving me those problems from the beggining. It was completely stock for a month after that I flashed a few ROMS and still had the problem. I tried searching online and found that other people are having the same issues and started complaining at the same time that I replaced my phome, so maybe its not the new phone?? And a tmobile problem?? I still have warranty on this one and can replace it again but first I would like to know if there are people that have the same problems or issues. Thanks in advance

The last few days mine has dropped every few minutes, the service itself not a call because it's so sketchy I'm not even brave enough to attempt a call. I've tried everything I've found online and no improvement. Tmo really needs to work their s**t out.
Thank you I guess its not my phone then. Thanks!

Same here!!!!!!!
Literally, in the last 5 minutes it's dropped and reconnected 3 or 4 times. I'm getting so frustrated with tmo. I wish they had email support because I really don't think I can keep my cool in real time.. it's just ridiculous.
It's been terrible since day one :/
can't anyone get to the bottom of the problem? i read somewhere that t-mobile decided to use a different platform for the wifi calls for some of the newer phones which includes the s3. i have no t-mobile coverage inside my house and depend on wifi calling. since i got my s3 my wifi calls drop repeatedly. it's completely unusable. we demand answers and a fix. i've found hundreds of users through google searches who've had this problem.
what's going on?
I noticed Skype 3.0 kept disappearing when WiFi calling would crash so I'm going back to 2.9 and pretending like it's gonna fix my problems. There's a HUGE thread in the GS forums over at tmo support this problem has been going on since our phones were released, and as far back as last year on other phones. They simply don't care enough to fix it.

Guess not.. went to send a text and it dropped AGAIN. Came back in <30 seconds wtf!!!!!
I had it work once but it wouldn't log in again until I "forgot" the network and reconnected.

It's "working" now but my texts don't send. Just spin and spin and spin.

Yeah I know, but at least for me it was reliable, I used to received all the phone calls, etc..
WiFi icon is blue try to send a text, spin spin spin, failed, WiFi calling gone, 30 seconds later it's back. I am so unbelievably frustrated and don't know what to do. I have 0 service at my house and I'm watching my battery drain FAST.

Just spent the last hour trying to send a text..... WiFi on and off, restarted a few times. Tried WEP instead of WPA, set port forwarding on the router. This is CRAZY. It seems like the first two weeks (first month?) I had the phone it was ROCK SOLID but since then it's only gotten worse day by day. I can't believe this s**t. The person at the tmo store said you have to wait a year before a new customer can get a free signal booster, not that it'd even help....
I want to call or live chat but I am so pissed I honestly don't think I can act like an adult
Do any of you people with problems have Comcast voice? Could their VoIP be messing it up?? I tried to run another modem but Comcast wouldn't let me activate it... what a crappy night!
Hey guys. I tried wifi calling again today and it has been working perfect all day. No disconnection, all texts and calls enter without any problems. I'm just wondering if anyone else is still having problems with wifi calling.

I could not get my Wifi Calling to function properly at work. Text works great, sending and receiving. My phone rings when I receive a call, but I cannot hear anything, neither does the caller. Similarly, when I dial a number, the other phone rings, but no audio is heard on either end. This only happens at a coroporate network, not at home or an open network such as hotels or restaurants. T-Mobile is supposedly aware of the problem but no solution is in the works.
A couple days ago MMS over WiFi broke. I tried every setting possible so I ODIN'd back to ICS without root and things were 100000x better. Still got a few disconnects but nowhere near as horrible. Then I did the OTA on tmos server to JB. Seemed a little less stable but still useable for texts. Rooted last night and still seems stable but a few extra disconnects.
One thing I've noticed on a few disconnects, I saw the connected to WiFi network bottom of screen notification pop up. The WiFi indicator stayed full bars so I'm not sure if it actually disconnected or that bottom screen pop up was just WiFi calling reenabling.
I think the WiFi in our phone is less than great. My router gives my PC a 300/300mbps link, on my phone it's 65/150mbps.
For me all the problems are resolved except mms. But no disconnects, texts and calls work great. Used it the whole weekend without one single problem. I havent done anything with the phone, Im using sonic resurrection 7.1.1 ROM. Maybe tmobile is fixing the problem, slowly but fixing it.

There are allllllllll these threads aboutwifi calling and NO SOLUTIONS posted from tmobile. What a pathetic joke of a company.

[Q] Sending Texts issue...

Okay, let me start off by saying I'm not entirely sure if this is a device issue, or a service issue.
Whenever I try to send an SMS, it spins that damn circle and eventually throws a failed message. Sometimes the addressee receives the text, more often than not, they don't.
So my question is, does anyone else have this issue? If so, how'd you fix it? If not, any advice or next steps I should take?
-Matthew
EDIT: Calls work just fine, it's only texting.
What ROM are you on ? How man bars of signal do you have when you are experiencing the issue ?
Stock jelly bean. I had full bars but signal was roughly -87dBm with I think 11 amu. It started later in the evening but the next day everything was back to normal.
Must've been an outage.

Verizon galaxy nexus lost voice connection

Whats up guys, had my nexus since day one. Lost my other phone the other day, so now im back at it. But there one problem..... I get 4g connection and data but I cant make any calls or text on it. Google talk lets me send text and video chat. I can surf the web every where I go just cant make calls and text. So far I tried new sim cards, installing different roms even went back to complete stock. Sometimes it will tell me com.android.phone has stop. Not sure how to find it or fix it. Verizon tech 2 support told me my voice radio not working anymore. Im not a newbie to this just cant figure it out, Any help is appreciated. THANKS!!!
