Area code change when I text - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time my friend receives a text from my phone my area code says 930 instead of 940 and can't send a text back without sending it to an entirely different contact under the right area code.
Any ideas? I have no idea why its happening he's the only one I know of that this happens to and I figured I'd see if the problem was with my phone.

It sounds like a problem with his network.

The problem is called LOS: Loss of Service and its been the hottest topic for the E4GT since forever. By now there are a billion threads that cover it. Look them up in the forums.

What app are you using for texting? How long are the messages you're sending?
If they're simple couple word texts, I don't know what to say, but if you get to the point where a text becomes longer than three messages, sometimes, depending on the app, it will force it to MMS instead.
We need a bit more info to see what's going on.
It's a simple text. Just a few words maybe a sentence. I'm using stock texting app. It only does it when I send it to my wife. No one else.

long sms into mms?

One CDMA downside is sending a long text and getting it chopped to pieces,or worse it being received in the wrong order. Is there anyway to make it to as soon as the text hits a certain amount of characters it instantly just turns into a mms?

Not sure about the character limit conversion, but I believe if you add a subject line it will convert it to MMS, then you can type away.

Distorted text

Hey guys, I'm asking this question in behalf of a co-worker. Her phone is brand new, stock, no root or any mods.
She starts typing in the internet address bar and, where it drops down and shows you previous Web addresses, that text is all garbled. It does it in the standard browser as well as her twitter app.
She doesn't know anything about phones so she exchanged it for a new one and it does the same thing. I've never had any problems like that on mine and I can't find anything similar on Google.
She is running the newest OTA from Rogers.
Any ideas what could resolve this?

which language she was typing?

English. The drop down text just becomes all garbled. White squiggly lines, hard to explain.

One thing abut the dialer that bothers me....

Is how I need to put in the area code before it will bring up contacts. Is there a way to auto populate the area code so I don't always have to???

You could just type their name?

The main thing that bothers me with the phone app is that you can't set which tab it opens when you open the app. I like going to my contact list first bc it has my favorites up top.

I could....but typing a persons name on the dialpad isn't exactly easy in a pinch.

For me its easier than typing their number because I don't have anyone's phone numbers memorized anymore. Lulz.

True. I guess I just got so used to AOSP on the Rezound, going back to sense is just weird. I would love to run Infection or Tron on this phone!

Agreed about aosp. I've been running that and I'm used to it.
Guess I can always use a different dialer app.

After using the S4 for a bit. This dialer/contacts/people app is a godsend!
I installed exdialer and its pretty cool. I like the stock phone app but just hate having the always type the area code in before it will recommend contacts.

Don't you always dial area code anyways? Been that way for about 15 years for me lol. Then again I do suppose each area of the country is different.

On the aosp dialer and even the s4 dialer you can start to key in the phone number and matching contacts pull up.

Maybe your dialer is messed up then. Mine starts pulling contacts while typing in number. Or maybe I'm just not understanding.

The thing that bothers me is when I start typing in a contact's name or number, it only gives me one contact at a time at the top of the list, with a little box to the left of the input area with the rest of the matches.
Coming from the HTC Incredible, it used to show multiple suggestions at the top of the list.
I played with a ONE in Costco a couple days before I received mine in the mail and it had multiple contacts (though none had pics) up top.
Anyone know how to configure it that way? I've been trying to figure it out
I installed exdialer and its sweet!!
