Sir i cant call anybody from my phone, not even sprint customer care. its not a network issue, something worong with the phone, just not able to diagnose whats the problem

Why do you think its not network trouble? You can't make calls after factory resets. Battery running out quickly. Sounds like your phone can't find a signal that's why the battery running out so fast. Its just sounds like a network issue.

I was able to use calls for say aroung 10days with data, text & 3G running all well
suddenly yesterday evening it stopped working, can it be a radio issue or something else like a hardware problem

Or a network problem? Radios don't just die. Or is the bill paid? What carrier are you on?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I am using it for Reliance
my bill is paid
Since the phone is my main no, i have transfered it to other mobile & its working fine.
but the phone is not responding at all when we make calls, its on the dailing screen only & calls doest mature, even when we dial *228 for activation its same only

Sounds like the carrier blacklisted your esn.

No sir same esn has been tested on other phone and its working

Whoa, whoa, whoa... You're using a cloned ESN?

No
esn is registered with the operator.
Just for testing I had done to check
As my 1st doubt was that esn being blacklisted
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

nope you used it on another phone the esn and the cell company found out black listed your evo so your esn and your evo is done. now go buy a new evo and stop trying to use a clone phone!! or keep doing what your doing and see if you don't get sent to jail.

Sir i am not using a cloned handset at all,
I had done that just for testing & to get my self confirmed that my esn is not blacklisted.
i have never used a cloned one as our operator is easliy getting it registred on its network, so its not required to clone, u people are thinking it other way, but thats not the case,
phone is showing signals but calling is not getting matured, its a steange problem.
i strongly feel something wrong in handset but not able to get whats wrong

hmmmm
I'm having the same issue and my phone is with sprint...just yesterday it stop working for no reason at all...but i have full signal and 3g....

Call sprint from a landline or a another phone either your using a cloned phone which is a NO NO or your ESN is blacklisted which means the phone is either reported stolen or lost.
You need to call them and get it sorted out if you can not call them your SOL hope you get it fixed.

SMS Taking Hours to Recieve

About 2 weeks ago my phone stopped receiving SMS on the reg. They are ranging anywhere between 20 min to 2 hours to receive. There is no delay when I send to people, just on the receive. I've flashed back to sense and did a PRL and Profile update then restored CM 7.1. Sprint just says it's due to high usage due to the weather...not buying it. Weirdest thing about it being my wife's phone has the same issue and it developed at the exact same time. Running cm7.1, clockwork and savagedzen 2.2.1 BFS HAVS on both. I've also tried flashing to tiamat 4.0.7-799 w/sbc and same issue. Up to any suggestions

Is the wife using an EVO? Try a different ROM combo for a few days and see if this helps. How about CM7-RC1 after a full wipe?
You'll find the sweet spot

Grab the app Gingerbread SMS Ghostly, has grabbed quite a few lost texts for me.
https://market.android.com/details?id=it.sineo.android.GhostSMS&feature=search_result

Tried ghostly. Didn't work. The messages seem to come through if I place a call. I've resorted to calling my voicemail to check my text lately. I'm using 7.1 rc1. I did flash sprint lovers rom and sent myself a text with no luck either. Are there any network settings with sense based rom that can be checked/modified?

You will probably have to call sprint and be cranky, as its most likely a network issue.

They've reset my data a few times now and claim they've done all they can. I had the call escalated the last time and nothing really came of it. Seems like when I call them with the issue the text come through within 2 minutes. They claim anywhere up to 30 min is considered not an issue. Its BS. Since cellphone met text it's been near instant. My crappy Nokia block phone did just fine. I could understand if there was a national emergency but there is no reason for any lag. Ill call them again tomorrow. My wife sent me a message at 753pm and it is currently 10, No message

Did u change/update PRLs around the same time this started happening? Sprint changed a bunch of PRLs recently and now some people get terrible data. PRLs are mostly location based. So due to contracts with other carriers, your phone may be connecting to different towers and data is routed differently. Try a different prl for the hell of it
Sent from my HTC_supersonic using xda premium

no, hadnt made any changes to the phone. played around with a few prls and radios and no luck still. so far sprint has managed to give me $50 credit but no working phone.

I don't really know then man. Hmm. Try a data profile reset from the epst menu. ##3282# enter your msl, hit edit go to data profile and hit menu and then restore.
The phone will reboot itself and renew its data profile connection and prl etc all in one shot. Aside from that, I would think its a network type issue. Especially since its both of your phones.

Well...basically did that with my phone while on the phone with sprint last night. sat on the phone for 76 min (40 of that being on hold). I was using her phone to make the call. Got disconnected after all was said and done. Tried to call sprint back via 611 and automated message told me my account could not be authenticated or something to that nature. Long story short had to rerun activation using EPST reset. Her phone now works. Flashed it back to CM7.1 rc1 and hers is working correctly. Going to try to flash back to sense today on my phone and let it work its way through the reprogramming and I'll place a call or 2 from sense and wait a few before flashing back to CM. Thats the last thing i can really think to do.
On another note, I have found a temporary work-around on my issue for my phone. Google Voice has an option to intercept text messages. I turned that on and google voice gets them instantly. Only thing annoying is I dont have an SMS count anymore. ADW notifier will show a "?" on the icon for google voice. I guess that notification marker will do for now. Other than that, its a tolerable solution til i find the real one.

Sorry homey, I know it can be frustrating. But yeah try again with sense and see what happens. Best of luck.

Only receiving texts when placing phonecall...help

I did a search and didn't find anything similar to my issue. I'm running EVO Classic ROM and have had no issues with texts until today. My texts just aren't coming through, and when I make a phone call I get a flood of texts. I've restarted my phone already.
Any ideas?

common things that could mess with txt msgs are airave, setting radio to cdma only and sprint towers acting goofy.
try checking ##3282# and see what evdo is set at. should be auto.

The same exact thing happened to me too! I thought i was the only one but guess not. I searched for answers here on line to figure out what the problem was and i never fixed it. I ended up having to unroot and take my phone into sprint and i got a refurbished Evo 4g for free.

Nothing has changed on my phone, i'm getting 4 bars right now. This is very frustrating.

I completely understand. I went through the exact same thing for over a month. Is there anything in particular you did to your phone right before it happened? Just wanting to see if we can try and figure out whats causing it
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

When I had the problem i chanhed roms like 7or 8 times and it kept happening on all of them, it wasn't an application causing it either because right when my phone booted up after flashing a rom, a would do a test call or text and my phone wouldn't ring. As soon as i placed my first call i would recieve the missed message.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

It's usually because there's a problem in the area or the prl.
Sent from my RED XDA.

I had called Sprint several times and had them do everything on their end to fix it. They updated prl, profile, (ive also done this myself several times as well), they refreshed the signal on their end, they did about everything they could and i did everything i could do but nothing fuxed it. You can use Ghostly Sms from the market to catch the some of the missed messages, it didnt catch them all for me and it wont help withissing calls. Sprint also said it gad nothing to do with the area or towers and also my fiances phone is working just fine anyways.

Maybe you're right and Sprint just won't admit it..
Today the issue seems to have gone away, i'm receiving texts just fine now.

It's normally temporarily (24 hours-1 week) unless it's your prl. But like you said, just randomly went back to normal. Happened to me a few times on cm7.

Update PRL VZW

Anyone notice you cannot dial *228? For me it always says call not sent.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

4G phones dont use *228

I've heard rumors that Verizon's 4G phones are updated automatically every once and awhile via the SIM card. No clue if it's true or not, though.

Correct, *228 was disabled on any of the newer 4G devices and it just screws things up when 4G users did it.

Yep.... 4G phones on VZW use SIM cards now so you do not have to dial anything. Just insert SIM that has been setup with VZW then power up phone and it will automatically activate within a few minutes of booting up.
Noticed when I swapped my t-bolt over to my wife's number that after booting up it dialed *22899 on it's own to activate. Not sure if this is a new way to update roaming and what not but the phone did it on it's own after inserting the new SIM.
What stinks is once you deactivate a SIM it can no longer be used so you have to get a new one from a VZW store or have one sent to you.

Well I might have screwed my new Nexus up, although I'm not noticing any problems so far.
I had *22899 saved in my contacts from my last phone and it does update the PRL if you dial that number. I was on PRL 14008 (Alltel PRL) and now I'm on 40086 which is the same PRL my last phone used (HTC Incredible).
It appears I still have 4G but I know that is not the correct PRL for this phone. Anyone know how to get it back to 14XXX? If I do a factory reset will it go back? I've tried pulling battery and sim out for a few minutes but it didn't revert when I powered my phone back up. Should I be worried?
Edit: Never mind, was trying a few things and somehow got back to a normal PRL (14010). More than likely just waited long enough for it to do its normal refresh.

Hmm...going to have to disagree with you on this one. *228 and *22899 don't work from the Nexus at all...displays the "Call Not Sent" message. This is true for pretty much all Verizon 4G phones. I tested both just before posting this to make sure...even though it was this way a month ago.

You can't dial them using the dialer but if you have them saved as a contact it will let you do it that way.

The prl has auto updated for some time. Even on 3g phones.

I haven't seen this. But my phone did try and dial out that *22899 last week. Then when I try to dial it and wouldn't work. I'm wondering if the 4G phones have some kind if auto-PRL-update or something.

Im sorry but did you even read any of the previous posts? Add *22899 to your contacts like you would be saving a new contact. Dial out that way and it will work. Or you could reboot your phone and it will auto update PRL location, or you could pull battery, pull SIM and wait like 5mins then reinstall.

Missing calls

Every day or two it seems like I am having calls not ring the phone and go straight to voicemail.. I get the voicemail alert right away if they leave a voicemail.. if no voicemail is left then I have no idea that anyone called.. anyone else seeing any issues like this? I'm am rooted and on stock deoxed.. Just wondering what is up with this, as it is Def annoying! Other than this one issue, I am loving this phone.. wondering if I need to do the update to correct this..

My wife called me today and it did not show in my call log. I am running stock rooted. I called sprint and they said I am having 3% of my calls blocked since I got my phone. They are escalating the issue and said they will get back to me in 72 hours.

I'm glad I found this post. I'm also having the same issue. I was having missed calls but instant voicemails when I was stock unrooted and now also rooted on JellyBomb 11.0 ROM. It doesn't make sense because it will be in different areas where I always have Sprint Service. I have no idea what the problem is but guess I'm calling Sprint tomorrow

I've had this issue, but also had it on other phones. it's Sprint, the way the phone handles network switching or whatever. if a call starts during that split second your chip is don't something else, scanning towers, sending or receiving txt, receiving data, etc, you will miss the call. if it's a split second after the other thing has started, the call takes priority like it's suppose to and comes through. I think someone said even on Wi-Fi, when your cdma pings a tower or whatever it does, that initial half-second initiation also prevents calls from getting through.
I've also noticed txt messages won't send if you try to send the same split second of the cdma whatever(3g) initiating something else. like if you start to receive a txt right when you try to send one, it won't send. but a fraction after it starts to get one, it sends right after like nothing.
this has always been a huge problem for me at home because I'm right in a slight valley right on the
edge of 3 towers' coverage, so while I never quite lose signal anymore, like my htc phones did, it still is constantly switching between towers, so I miss a lot of calls and msg. everyone complains to me about not answering or calling them back but there like a third of my calls don't get through. but when I'm at work, it's low, like that 3% the other guy says. totally normal for Sprint! the same cause as why we can't data and call at same time. I had a evo lte for a few months, and I was getting most of my calls. I can only assume that's because it had 2 chips in it, which is how it did calling and data at same time.
that's my most disappointed thing this beautiful phone is missing.
