i got one of those earlier too. crazy....

I think it has something to do with voicemail notifications but I'm not exactly sure.

It's weird. I received a familiar text earlier today. I ignored it though. Too lazy to investigate.

Got the EXACT same thing today too. WTF?

Maybe it means we are all now eligible for the Official ICS update? QUICK, EVERYONE GO CHECK!

I got a text earlier at 11:01 MST that said "This is a test of the commercial mobile alert system. This is only a test." I am assuming that you are 2 time zones east of Utah so that is probably what it is.
No reason to be scared!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: I tried to upload a screnshot of mine but it says wrong file extension.

I got the exact text to around 11am today. Glad to know I wasn't the only one. I'm not even on sprint..

Couple of you are on CM9. How many others are on CM9. I ask because I have not received anything like this and I am on AOSPmod.
So I wonder if it is a CM9 thing....

i got it on AOKP

I am stock right now.

here you go. I looked up some other info and the gibberish some of you seen is because AOSP based roms do not have the WEA coding in them. The coding is inserted by carriers. The WEA coding will force your phone to perform the annoying screatching noise you hear on the radio and TV regardless of the volume and ringtone settings. Also there is a new version of the WEA coding that will not allow you to turn off your phones screen till the message is read.

Call your carrier, have them reset your line, describe them the situation and tell them you need everything reset on their end.

I have started seeing the same thing on my phone. I haven't had time to dig into it but I just flashed FreeGS3 last night and it started today. When I was full stock/rooted I never noticed a problem. It doesn't happen every time either. Are you on a custom rom? May not have anything to do with it, just a starting point for me.

Yes I am on a stock rom I haven't changed anything besides rooting the phone. My problem just started yesterday and hoping it get resolves really soon.
Has it been happening with every text you send, or is it kinda random? Mine seems to be random so far. Hopefully its a network issue on TMobiles side.
In case you don't know, in Messaging apps settings you can set it to request a delivery report for SMS and/or MMS. That way you can at least be sure if/when your texts go through. It will notify you when it is delivered.

That and wifi just stops working, but that's another story.

**Ultimate GS3 sudden death thread** (Tmo version)

Hi guys, recently lots of S3 owners encouter this scary issue that their S3's motherboards just failed randomly and the phones are dead.Here is the link to the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044
However, after reading pages, I noticed most cases are in the UK, some in other europe countries, some in asia (india, south east asia). Not sure the US version (and Tmo version specificly) is suffering from this, so I made this thread to gather information about this. I know I am paranoid, but I was hoping my S3 would last at least 2 years til my next upgrade. And now Im living in fear after knowing that thread. My S3 (manufacture date is 06/27/12) is still performing very fine with zero issue since august except the SD card being removed unexpectedly 2 times by the phone itself.
(btw, you can check your manufature date by dial this code: *#12580*369# )
Edit: seems like only international version suffers from this issue.

as much as i hate to say this but if this does happen to mine, this will be the last time I buy from Samsung and might jump ship to Apple where I can take a phone in a get it fixed in time.
Im pretty happy with Samsung, I deal with warranty on a day to day basis in another way but there is an expected amount of devices that go out that a company knows is going to fail at some point and also rely on returns for warranted devices to see what went wrong in production in order to correct it.
The problem is you have "X" amount of people on the forum which is big in consideration to a regular site and "Y" with the same problem and people group in and make the issue bigger than it is. Any company that posts a recall is at the point that OVER 42% of the product with the same failure over the release.
With that said I haven't had one problem with mine that others have reported and after being let down by HTC time and time again I most definitely will buy another Samsung device, so far it's been the best I've had out of the collection of smartphones I have.

You dont have to go to the store, call T-Mobile and they will send you one with an RMA, as soon as you get it put the old one in the box and send it out. All they do is check for water damage and put it up for refurbish they don't waste time putting it through testing they test the devices that may have account info on it if you can't power it up to format it before sending it back. They ask you that on the phone.

So does this mean that none of the tmo peeps have had no issues with their devices dying? I only ask because, I just got my galaxy last Wednesday. Had a couple quirks, but nothing's dead yet. Had a little issue with my music and swipe. When I would get my notifications tones say from email I would be listening to music, the sound would nearly drown out and stay that way till I paused my music and started again all was fine. I've been getting random screen flashes near the bottom of the screen, like a ton of lines like a glitch. Anyone else having this issue as well? Feel free to add anything else if you like.

Did you enable any traces? That would show depending on what you have checked. I was gonna try enabling a few to see what it does but it's not like it would ruin anything. I'll report back though to see if I can recreate it.

Sometimes the bars show a red x. When there is an x I cannot get data either. Sometimes the x is gone and I get 4g again.
After LGNPST I was able to successfully update profile and prl but it did not fix the problem. I've been able to update profile a few times. After it says the profile has been updated the phone reboots. I've never seen that prior to this.
Oh and the lock screen and notification pull down both say sprint. As if it is connected to sprint service.

did you ever figure this out? looks like im in the same boat now
---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------
well think i found part of the reason, i no longer have a "min" or phone number, as well as my prl went from 25011 to 40000
I took it to Sprint and they could not get it activated either. They said the phone is not recognizing it's meid (I think, he may have called it something else). Luckily I have TEP so they ordered me a new phone free of charge.

Did you flash the test jb Sprint rom?

Do you mean the original couple, or has there been a recent update? I flashed the original, as well as the first update and the 2nd and 3rd kernels(or whatever those zips were). It was strange. I had my gnex activated before I flashed the second update. When I reactivated the LG it seemed something had been ruined. 4g worked but no texts or calls.

Same for me, turn 4g off it and you get a red x

under setting mobile network settings is it set to lte/cdma or lte only? if it says lte only it will block all 1x and 3g signals

That's your problem you got carrier locked. Nothing you can do but get a new phone
At least that's what I think

I don't think that is what it is, but im going to take it to sprint. Even if that's what it was, you would think cdma work shop could still modify the files

Sprint cannot lock the device's radio. It can control whether it or not it has network access, but that would not cause a red X on the signal, just the 3G/4G to disappear. The bars, depending on connection, would still show even if the device was completely deactivated.
To anyone facing this issue, I would get your MSL (if you're rooted, there's an app on the play store) and dial ##786#, press menu key, reset to defaults. Unlike ##72786# which only resets network connection, this will reset your phone to default settings in case it is a software issue causing this, and it will also initiate a handsfree activation, in case the issue is network-related. Yes, your phone will be completely reset, so back up your stuff now if you keep precious items on it. I'm thinking pictures/video/media should be ok, but I would back them up or move them just in case. I do not want to be held responsible for your lost pictures
