Veryy weird txting bug - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This started happening yesterday, when I txt someone its normal, but when anyone txts me I receive it but under a no name thread in my app. And it doesn't allow me to reply there since it has no number. And no matter who txts me it goes to that thread so I never know whose texting me. Wth is going on!!!? I rebooted yesterday and it fixed it but I don't wanna have to reboot everytime I wanna txt someonee.

That is a network issue. Try updating Prl and profile. Also try removing the battery for a few minutes. If it still happens call Sprint. They may be having issues with the tower closest to you.

I'm on cm7 so I can't update prl now but ill restore a tw backup if I have to. Ill try the battery for now since a reboot fixed it for all day yesterday hopefully taking out the battery for a few minutes will fix it for good lol.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I figured it was my phone. I rebooted and it was working fine.

I just had this same problem this morning..... on top of that, my phone thought it was 7:30 am when it was really more like 11:30 am.... definitely a sprint issue, but very weird indeed...

These all might be related to the Google server error.

Lol, I'm glad it isn't just me. But I went back to tw and am using the epic modem now ( was using the nexus) and it seems like everything is well up to now. Reallly scared the crap out of me when it happened tho, cuz when I thought it was just one person it was fine but when I got multiple txts it really confused me and I almost said the wrong things to the wrong ppl lol.
And the time error happened to me too. And my phone also said 7 30 lol. But it was actually like 6 30. And it reallly almost screwed me over cuz I was waiting for a bus and didn't know what time it was or when the bus came lol.

MMS not working?

Is anyone else experiencing this, I'm recieving a message that says there is a proxy error and it won't allow my phone to send out MMS. I'm back on Stock EC05, only one picture has sent so far and that was about it.
Oh wow i actually got that when i was downloading an mms...it failed 3 times same proxy error........this doesnt sound good lol
Right? I thought it was my phone, I rebooted a couple times and cleared my Dalvik cache, and to my dismay lol, it's server side perhaps.

Sprint is on a roll, PRL errors for months, 4G nationwide outtage, Airave crapping out for a day, and now MMS trouble. No wonder it took forever for them to get Froyo out.
I too am having this problem!
There must be a necro theme going on this week... What ROM/modem/ build are you using/on? If I remeber right Sprint had some network issues at the time of the OP,but hell they have problems all the time,right?

I had this problem on my vibrant SO MUCH (like maybe 15 texts per day did this). Then I had it on my Galaxy S 4G (less but still alot). Now I rarely have it on my Galaxy S 2. No idea what could cause this issue but it seems to be getting better down the generations lol
I've had only about.......5 since I got my phone.
Yes, lately I've been getting alot. Mostly while im on my wifi calling is on.

on my galaxy S 2, it might happened maybe 3-4 times since the 3 months I've had the phone
Yup.
Happens to me on a frequent basis. I have a launch release GS2 and it seems to happen to me on a frequent basis. I'm not sure what it is but it also happens a lot when it's converted to mms. I hope this gets fixed with ICS.

I had this happen to me a couple weeks ago. I called t-mo and told the rep what was going on. He told me to reset my phone and he did something on his end. After that I haven't had a problem since.

Stalled, then date reset to 12-31-1999

today all of the sudden my phone stalled/froze for the very first time.
I ended up removing the battery to force a restart. once it booted up, my time was off and the date was set to December 31, 1999 (kinda weird since its the day before y2k.)
Anyway, has this happened to anyone? And what causes this?
Thanks

It hasn't happened to me and I haven't heard of it happening. Tell me about your phone. Are you rooted? Have a from? If so, which one? I believe the time and date are actually found through your data connection (or wifi). Maybe try updating prl and restart. If anything, I think the ics ota update occurs tomorrow, so that will undoubtedly fix it.

Great scott! If you are reading this centro714, it seems that when you pulled your battery, it caused a ripple in the space-time continuum leading you to travel back to the date December 31st, 1999. Meet my former self at the Silver Spring diner on first and third street in Baltimore, MD at precisely 8:14pm PST and he, or I, will be able to help you return to the future.

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

I have already done that and they said they don't see anything wrong on their end and gave me a ticket number so that they can try and resolve the problem
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.

It's not a Rom issue. It happened to me on stock. But it's fine in Philly now.

I don't think its a problem with the rom. I had just flashed it so wasn't sure at the time but I haven't had any issues with it today. Must have been on network side I guess.
