Anybody in the Buffalo, ny area Cant recive texts? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

i noticed today that i cant receive any texts. Anybody else in my area cant recive them? i know it aint a rom issue since ive been able to receive fine up to today, so im guessing its a service issue and i would call, but ita 11 at night and im sure sprint is closed

i live in rochester , and am receiving texts by the bucket load , lol

ugh and now im not able to send either -.- imma reinstall aokp and see if that helps. if not sprint has some explaining to do later

I'm good on send/receive right now

If it is anything it is probably network issues. In the NYC are whethe network get too busy when I home, there are times when don't get text or calls and it will take a few seconds before a call connects. Call sprint and tell them you are having network issues. As well as talk to people in your area to see if they are having the same and get them to call as well.

I've figured out why I haven't been getting text messages.a friend of mine installed Google voice to rest the integration with Sprint.and when he uninstalled it he left the "receive texts via Gv" checked.so all my texts were being sent to Google voice, not my phone

GVoice+Sprint question/help

I've been using gvoice thru Sprint primarily since they teamed up and lately I've been having an issue. I'm not receiving all my texts from my partner for sometimes days after he sent them. Texts are basically received when he sends them or not received by gvoice for hours or days later. I've only recently noticed this with his texts and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Ive been useing it since the start as well. have not had this issue or any other issues. How ever before gvoice thing i would never receive any text messages from one of my friends ever (6+ months), but was fixed when i switched to gvoice.. So maybe something similar but i dont know what it is.
sidenote: he is on t-mobile . but i dunno if that matters cause my entire famliy is on t-mobile as well and i got all there messages.
Hopefully u find your answer its annoying
Yeah I've enjoyed the sprint+gvoice experience until now. It's really odd. For now I've switched to talking to my partner via gtalk. I've filed a report with the gvoice help site. I'm debating calling Sprint but I'm unaware if it's a Sprint related issue or a gvoice issue BC it's not like gvoice isn't notifying me of the incoming texts, it's just not receiving random texts from my partner for days.

its worth a shot but i bet they have rather limited google voice knowledge. Maybe for last resort go into settings of ur google voice and revert back to sprint and see if it comes through. Ive never done this so i dont know if you can revert right back to google voice or not , I dont see why not though.
I had to spend 1/2 hour on phone with tech support due to Google voice "taking over my phone". It wouldn't allow me to call without it or disable it. I don't think my situation is relevant but perhaps Sprint can help on their end.

I hate gvoice... It completely screwed call and text receipt on my wife's EVO. The only way to get rid of it is to go to the Google voice website and remove your phone from the account. Once we did that all was well.
Just posting in case anyone has or had the same GVoice issues that I have.
I disabled GV via desktop GV settings and reverted back to my original GV #. I then re-enabled the Sprint+GV integration and so far I have received all of the texts that have been sent to me just like I should. *EDIT* Problem still exists. I'm ****ed.

Calls not going through, not receiving texts or calls sometimes?

Hey guys,
For awhile now, my phone has been acting up. I won't receive calls or text messages, and my phone as of last week has not been sending texts, even though it shows a timestamp of when I sent the message. Can anyone else me out possibly? I'm at a complete loss as to why this is happening. I use Google Voice if that helps any, as I know some people have had trouble similar to me with Google Voice. I'm also running Calkulin's E4GT Rom. I have not updated the modem as I'm not sure if I was supposed to.
Thank you.

So, it must be a network issue because I ahve been having problems making calls, and texting since 4:00pm today 12/20/2011 in New York. Where are you located?
*
I keep getting a lost call. I tried calling my phone with my phone line and the call goes through. I can accept the call and speak to myself, but I cant make out going calls or text.
I had google voice on and disable it and that did not help.
Me and my gf both have problems with texts not going through or being delayed for 12+ hours. Its a Sprint issue im sure. I'd call the carrier and complain if its really an issue for you.
As a work around for now you can use the google voice app for texts. Mine show up right away unless im on wifi then its delayed.

[Q] Calls and SMS not coming through

This morning I started having an issue with calls, SMS, and possibly email notifications not being received on my phone. My gf called and sent two texts that I didn't get. Then I called her and the messages popped up a few seconds after she picked up. Same thing happened later in the day again. I'm pretty sure that I had signal the entire time. I was even browsing the web and downloading some updates from the Play store between the time the texts were sent and the time when I made a call and the texts arrived on my phone. She says that when she called me the call went straight to voice mail. It seems like the phone wasn't registered on the tmo network until I tried to make a call at which point the network became aware of it and sent the texts. The phone is rooted and running stock UVLH2. Any ideas what could be going on?

[Q] (Sprint) Anyone notice a long delay when send/receive SMS after latest update?

Anyone who updated to the latest OTA (LI3) notice a huge delay when sending receiving text messages now? My wife's Sprint GS3 may take hours to receive SMS msgs. Sometimes they are instant, but last night, her sister texted her around 10pm and she didn't get it until 12:30am. This didn't happen until she got the OTA last week. Is there something I can do? I was going to uninstall Go Launcher and GoSMS Pro to see if it helped but she loves both apps and I don't see why they could be the culprit anyway. Unable to receive SMS msgs sounds like a Network issue to me?

I got a text Sunday morning that somebody had sent to me over a week prior.
Yesterday afternoon/evening, Sprint was having cell issues, at least in the Milwaukee. Data was working beautifully, but I wasn't getting calls (despite 3-4 bars of reception) and sent texts would occasionally elicit a "The message could not be delivered due to a temporary network setup error," response from some Sprint server somewhere.
Not sure if I should call Sprint Tech Support, Take it to a Sprint Store, or Take it in to Best Buy where she purchased it to have it looked at. I am just worried that if I take it in to a store to get fixed she will be without a phone for a few days while they take their sweet time working on it. Anyone have any experience with Sprint/Best Buy (Geek Squad) Tech Support and know how it works?
Also, I am not against Rooting. Both my Epic 4G and my 3VO were rooted, as well as her Photon, but I was really trying hard to not have to root either of our GS3's. But, perhaps rooting and reflashing back to stock and just not accepting the LI3 OTA will fix the issue?
Forgot to mention, one of our neighbors has an Airave at home and this is where the issues predominantly exist. Could the Airave have something to do with it? Maybe it's not playing nice with the latest LI3 Radio?
their was an outage thats why some messages were not going through.. all fixed now

I heard that the outage was in the Pacific Northwest. I am on the East Coast (Central NJ to be more specific). And data still works, it just seems to be SMS only that she is having issues with at home.

Text messages being sent but not being recieved by contacts

All of my SMS and MMS messages seem to be sending out fine as I recieve no "unable to send" errors, but my contacts are not always recieving my messages. This seems to be happening more often lately, and affects MMS more than SMS. I am not sure if this problem has to do with signal strength as my phone usually shows 2 to 4 bars, but sometimes drops to 1 or 0 bars and then goes back up again. Could something be wrong with my antennae? Perhaps when I am sending out the messages that are not recieved, my signal strength is bouncing around but not being updated graphically on the phone, and the messages are "lost" in the system or not being sent out at all?
This also seems to affect some of my contacts more than others, so maybe it also has to do with their signal strength, although I have not heard of them complaining about their text message not being recieved by their contacts or not recieving messages (except from me). I always thought if you could not recieve a text message because of a bad connection, it would be recieved when your connection was finally good.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Seeing all my messages sent out fine but not knowing if they are being recieved makes communication via text message rather stressful.
Thanks
What about receiving? I have a friend that keeps missing MMS I send but I always get hers. It's really frustrating.

My brother has T-Mobile (we on family plan) and my sister in law has Verizon and they both didnt get my MMS message, as well as my neice on Mobi.
Update: I sent a message today to my brother and he got the message and all the other ones that I sent but he did not recieve. I also instantly got a MMS message he sent a few days ago. I am not sure if my messages were stuck in the T-Mobile system itself, or my message today triggered my phone or the system to send the rest. Perhaps there is an issue with the tower located two block from my house?
Tmobile issue dude . I almost broke up :-/

Yea I had a pic from Thursday show up on Saturday.
Can you do me a favor? Check your call log. I hadn't mad any calls in the last few days but I had like 80 in the logs. They were both incoming and outgoing and all said "cancelled". I'm wondering if it's cause of all the failed texts...
I have to say this pisses me off because some of my contacts periodically don't receive my messages. Very frustrating especially when it happens mid conversation and then you wait days thinking that the other person is ignoring and vice versa. It's making me seriously consider switching phones.

Me too had been having this issue lately.
I see it as the sandy effect here on the east coast. has been improving slowly though.

My call logs is displaying all of my incoming and outgoing calls correctly. I have not had any issues recently with messages not being recieved by my contacts either, so prehaps the JB update fixed something? I am not sure if it is T-Mobile or the closest tower either because others on T-Mobile in my area have not experienced this problem (or perhaps not enough to notice anything). I will monitor signal strength and double check with my contacts if they are recieving my messages.
Weird.. I can't figure out the call log thing cuz I have incoming calls that say cancelled. It spent really make sense. I thought it must be related to the texts being goofy.
The problem with the call log is that it doesn't really show what we want. How? How would you know if you didn't get someone's text unless they told you? Or what if your phone says it sent the message but the other person didn't get it? What gives? The phone always sends the text but the recipient doesn't always receive it. That's why I used to use delivery reports but on this phone they're too annoying and the system is poorly implemented compared to stock Android (which has the best implementation) or even HTC Sense.
