[Q] Calls and SMS not coming through - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

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?

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.

Anybody in the Buffalo, ny area Cant recive texts?

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

Text Messages (mostly MMS) not showing up for hours...

I got a friend of mine to switch from an iPhone to an S3 and he called me yesterday explaining that he is having trouble getting all MMS text messages ( and sometimes regular texts too). He eventually gets them but they are hours later. He is using Go SMS but the stock messaging app is not working any better.
I went through all my settings with him to make sure he was set up the same as I am and he was. So I cannot figure out why he is getting all his MMS texts so late.
Sometimes he gets a message that says there is a media download and gives and expiration time but there is no attachment with it.
Anyone have any ideas?

I had the same issue when I switched from iPhone to my s3.... Ask him if his mobile data is ON. if not the phone will not download the attachment even if on wifi the mobile data has to be on for it to work.
Also make sure his data plan has been changed to a lte plan.

Make sure that the date, time, and time zone settings are correct
I switched from the iphone 4 to the SIII and I too had this same issue.
My buddy who also had an iphone was trying to text me but I would get it hours late. Remember when Iphone users could start messaging each other without the cost of text? I have a strong feeling this was the issue. I actually didn't do anything to fix the problem, it last about 5 days and with enough usage of the phone I finally started to get my texts on time.

[Q] Late text messages

I have a weird problem with my phone. Sometimes my text messages will be received only if I send out a text of my own or make a call.
Emphasis on the sometimes because its so random I haven't seen a pattern. When I first got the phone I had it with Wind mobile. The terrible reception made me switch to Bell about 2 months ago. This issue has significantly dropped since then but just in the past hour it's happened twice.
A friend sent me a text at 8:25 PM. I called him at 8:33 and then his 3 texts came through. We were having the convo up until 8:39 when it seemed as though he stopped replying. At 9:37 I sent one out to a different person and his text messages finally came through (Time stamp sent was 8:40 time stamp received was 9:37). Its not even an issue of reception because the texts and calls that trigger the "missing" texts send flawlessly.
Maybe it's the text messaging app I use? I use Textra but haven't tried with the stock in a while.
It's such an annoying problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Not receiving texts

My wife's Capitvate Glide stopped receiving texts a couple of days ago. The phone is running stock ICS, not rooted. She can send texts just fine, and she can make and receive phone calls. ATT says they don't see anything wrong on their end. I've tried rebooting, pulling the SIM and battery, but it still doesn't receive texts.
Hi
I found that as a possible answer:
AT&T indicated that it was a problem with the network registration, given every piece of my phone's communication worked except for receiving SMS. This turned out to be true. The solution was to put the sim card in another phone, which overrode the network registration for my number. After about a minute, the second phone received all of the texts that the first had not been able to get, and then I could move the sim card back into my regular phone and receive texts as normal.

The woman at the ATT store did that and it did fix it, sort of. Later in the day the phone was still receiving texts but could not send them - it just said "Failed". I pulled the battery for about 15-20 minutes and that issue was fixed.
I think we'll be getting a new phone for my wife soon...
