Has anyone been experiencing 3G issues today? I noticed that around midnight last night that my texts werent going through for some reason. I changed my kernel and also rolled back the radio thinking that might help but it hasn't. Another phone on my plan is having issues as well. I can browse the web with no issues but the text messaging is failing constantly. Voicemails are also hit and miss. Anyone else experiencing this?

Ha I'm sure they would. I would switch in a heartbeat if they brought back the unlimited data plan.
We just had an outage here in Greensboro, NC. Around yesterday afternoon I kept getting a radio resource usage error when trying to send texts. And when you tried to call anyone it would just disconnect. Got on Facebook and realized it was all Sprint and Boost users that were experiencing the problem. Took over 12 hours for them to fix it.

Working all good for me here in So Cal
Hey all,
I broke my old iPhone 4, accidentally sold it with my old SIM, bought a 4S, took it back, and yesterday got a new SIM card for my new Galaxy Nexus. Everything worked fine after I activated the SIM over the phone, but I noticed I didn't get any texts.
I didn't think much of it, just other people having busy lives. The next day though, I didn't get anything back from my mother, which she surely would have text back by now. I gave her a call, and she told me that she never got anything from me, and I never received anything from her.
Investigating further, most people online said it was that I never assigned my phone an SMSC number. I put in the AT&T one and still no dice. I called AT&T, they re-added messaging, and still nothing. AT&T contacted Samsung, told me to do the SMSC change again and see nothing. I was able to get all the trial texts from AT&T, but couldn't send or receive anything from my friends or family.
Frustrated, I went down to Best Buy and bought an AT&T dumbphone to use so I could send back the Nexus, as well as finally be able to text. Still couldn't send or receive messages. Changed the SMSC on both the phone and SIM card, and got no errors, but texts still never got the recipient and I couldn't receive any.
Needless to say, I'm extremely frustrated. Anyone have any advise?

I agree. I went to the AT&T store today, and they opened a claim and said they'll have a solution by Tuesday, but I have a feeling that they'll come up blank.
I'm hoping maybe it's as simple as getting a new SIM, getting it going on an ATT phone, and then popping it into my Nexus.
Turns out it was account related, so I got it working on my dumb phone. Stuck the SIM into my Nexus and still nothing.
Never had any sort of trouble with iOS with this, or dumb phones. Maybe the Lumia is more my speed.
I've had a problem where texts sent to me sometimes arrive an hour later. During the times when I'm having this problem anyone who calls me will go straight to voicemail. Outgoing call and texts are not affected. Basically it's as if the phone 'spaces out' from the network on occasion
Other members have reported similar issues.
What is known so far is that: It's not the SIM, it's not a network or provisioning issue.
Is it the phone? Is it the ROM? That remains to be seen.
I've gotten in touch with someone at ATT who is agressively pursuing the issue.
What you can do to help is, if you are having this problem too, please post here. Mention what ROM & kernel you are running, which state you are in and any other relevant details so we can see if it's a widespread problem. It is especially interesting to see if anyone running unrooted stock has it. Otherwise it could be blamed on the user
DEVS weigh in here - is there any way rooting can affect the GSM radios in this way?
I have problems sending texts sometimes and sometime I randomly lose service and the only way to get it back is put it in airplane mode or reboot i ve had this happen on all roms even stock I'm in tooele and data speeds suck there

I've had issues with call quality and texts not being delivered to one person, however I have not had any noticeable difficulties with other people, so I assumed it was an issue on their end. Perhaps not. I'm running stock rooted Android.
(They are also on AT&T.)
I've had this issue with AT&T since the days of Cingular. Makes me ::GLEE:: that my contract will be up in October, going to T-Mobile, unlimited everything (oh noes, data throttling at 2GB) for $65/month? Yes.
Also thoroughly documented here:

I've had this issue with stock, Inception, and now OsiMood. I'm in KY. It seems that it'll randomly chooses to ignore all calls and texts for an hour or more, and when it finally decides to start working again, all those messages will show up at the same time and calls will start to ring through. People who call me claims that it rings on their end, so it seems like I'm just not answering the call, rather than going to straight to voicemail as if the phone was off, or out of service area.

Not quite the same
I had this issue with a moto bravo a while back where it would "send" the text but it would never make it past the network, also texts from phones wouldn't go through but I could receive AT&T texts (data usage, minutes left, email to text). Ended up taking about 3 days of talking to AT&T reps that finally did a hard reset of some sort and refreshed all the provisioning. The last tech I had spoke to told me it was because my phone was appearing registered on 2 different AP's (micro-cell / main tower) and that it wasn't de-registering from the micro-cell. Not sure if it helps any but it might give you a talking point for the AT&T techs who can seem less then helpful at times.
I've had the problem with stock and osimood. The problem isn't persistent, and Sometimes I think rebooting fixes the problem.

Rebooting does tend to fix it. As does cycling through airplane mode for like 15 secs. But sometimes it'll go right back into that zombie state after a few minutes.
~Azrael's Kiss~
I've called ATT and talked to them and they say powering down the phone once a day is the only way to fix it... with a cdma network I never had a problem with texts or calls not goin through... as as far as stock or rooted my wifes phone is the one that does it the worse and hers is solid stock. Mines not to bad but I do get the problem with texts not comin in that much but very annoying when I pay almost 200 a month and the **** works half the time. Tends to get really frustratin

For a while I had the problem of my captivate glide not ringing at all, but then the call gets forwarded to google voice and I see a missed call. This was pretty common until two weeks ago when I upgraded to ICS. It has not happened since.
Text messages always come through quickly. Occasionally the email-to-SMS gateway messages were delayed for about 10 hours, but I think it's been about a year since that happened, so I think they improved the reliability of that system.
I kind of blame the modem firmware (the curse of proprietary software). It have happened to me a lot whenever I am using Internet, and sometimes I receive the text immediately when I am online. I usually send text to myself to wake the cellular modem up.

I've had this problem on at&t when I had my Motorola back flip, and now also on my glide.
Also, the g/f has had the problem on her non smart phone.
It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
It was happening a LOT during the time when at&t was upgrading their lines and equipment to deploy 4G in this area. (We've only had 4G a few months here)
In the past week, I've had it happen 3 times on my glide where I will get 8 - 14 copies of the same txt all at once, but the sender says they only sent it once.
This could just be bugs in the official ICS release from a couple weeks ago, idk.

FWIW, I'm on an MVNO that's on AT&T's network, but I'm using Google Voice for texting, and texts always arrive within seconds. I know that doesn't use the SMS system, but hell, I'm just trying to be helpful.
Isn't there a way to port your current number to a different carrier (i.e. Google) without breaking contract? I remember there being something like that, the stipulation being you had to pay some $$ in fees and get a new number (which you'd need for Voice forwarding anyway). Still a hell of a lot cheaper than an ETF.
I'm on straight talk which is mvno of att. It happens to me too.. stock, not rooted either

Almost a month later..still have the problem. If somebody texts me once I may get that text 10 times over a day or 2...sometimes even more. I called sprint. They did a soft reset of my phone and advised me if it happens again to try a factory reset. I did a factory reset, wiped cache, dalvik cache. The second my phone booted up after the reset (not a single app installed) I got two duplicate texts from earlier that day. I guess my last hope is to wipe my rom and do a clean install of the rom. It's just the sprint factory rom for 4.1.1 with root. If that doesn't fix it then I guess I need a new phone

I had this problem for 1 day and then it went away.
Try a reactivation. Dial ##72786#.
It's not the device (phone) its usually a carrier error happens when you have a weak signal and your phone is switching from 1x to 3g or 4G or between wifi and regular data. The others here are correct it is not the phone, unless the antenna is messed up. Have you also checked to see if the duplicate texts are always from the same individuals? It could weak signal on their part, their carrier or device is actually sending it out twice. I had something similar with texts coming in from att once.

I have been with Sprint since the beginning - about 14 years? I have also have had the original non data Airave and the latest Airave with data.
It is not your phone, maybe sometimes the Airave?, but the problem is with Sprint. Most of the time everything is normal, but then are times when I will get the same text an extra two and sometimes up to four times for a few days straight, then it goes away.
So save yourself the anguish of a hard reset or flash, it is not your phone and most assuredly Sprints network. Also note, it happens to me more frequently and of course randomly in the last 3 or 4 years.
I hate hard resets and re-flashing!
I had this exact issue on AT&T and it turned out to be an app that had permissions to intercept text messages to display an unread number on a widget. The app was blocking the phone from sending a text received signal to the tower.
I very much appreciate the responses. I realize what everyone is saying about it not being the phone and most likely being a sprint issue. I totally have been in agreement up until recently I started suspecting the phone. Like others here I have been with sprint for several years. I have also lived in the same area for all of those years. My phone doesnt roam, doesnt switch between 3 and 4g in my area. This is also my fifth android phone (first was the hero) and my 8th smart phone. I have over the past several years OCCASIONALLY received duplicate texts from one or more of my android phones. What I have experienced with my gs3 is far from occasional. It is constant. We are talking the same text repeated 18 times. It happens every day. Not once or a few times a week but literally multiple times every day. It isn't with one or 2 specific contacts but with multiple contacts included automated texts such as texts from twitter updates. It happened on a clean install. Flashed modem, kernel and ROM. All stock touch wiz sprint stuff. Not a single third party app installed. Previously I did the service reactivation and it helped slightly. I tried it again 2 days ago, roughly a week after flashing the clean ROM and I will say that it has helped a lot. Over the past 2 days I have only received one duplicate text and it only came through twice. If this was the norm then I would be more than happy. Time will tell if it is fixed or not and I will definitely update this thread.
The reason I suspect the phone is because of the immense frequency of the problem. My theory is that if the radio or antenna is weak or failing then this could be why the frequency is so high. Also, I have been experimenting with using the phone with and without the case on and it seems to be worse when the. Case is on. So, in theory if the antenna is weak then the case makes it even harder for the signal to get through. I could be off base but that's my theory.
Also, my daughter has my hand me down galaxy s2. She has zero duplicate texts. We live in the same house and go to the same places. Her phone has never had the issue. I dunno. Maybe the gs3 in general has a weak radio or maybe its my specific phone. Either way its totally frustrating and I doing want to deal with it any longer.

One note to your theory - your daughter has an S2 which although is 4G, it is WiMax 4G and your S3 is LTE 4G - your daughter's S2 will not have the same trouble as your S3 because the 4G WiMax towers have been up and running for a while, while Sprint is still working on the LTE 4G, so that could be one of your problems.
With that being said, I am sort of in the same situation, my wife doesn't have the text problem as often or severe as mine as she has an original Epic WiMax 4G and I have a S3 LTE 4G, although my worst case has been repeating text maybe 3 or 4 in a row and then sometimes the same text come to me like an hour to two hours later, but this only happens in spurts every once in a while, as the spurts of duplicate texts happen maybe every other couple of months and only last for like a day, then everything is fine again. I also have been in the same location for the 14 or so years that I have been with Sprint. Anyways, just a thought.
That's a good point. Maybe it has something to do with it. I thought that SMS used the phones voice network though rather than data? I thought only MMS used data. BTW I have never received a duplicate MMS. Also there is no 4g lte in my area yet.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I've searched around but i can't seem to find a solution. My note 3 is missing calls, and not notifying me. When someone calls it rings on their end but my note 3 doesn't seem to be getting the signal, but i get their voice-mail a few seconds later. This is just ridiculous, how can a $700 phone fail to complete the most basic function of a phone.
Now, let me just say that I have excellent coverage in my area, and my previous phone did not have this issue, i'v also tried factory resetting and even exchanged the phone! if anyone else is having this issue, please share.
Again, this is my second note 3! i exchanged the first one for the same issue, but its happening again after the exchange! This is really frustrating.
Yup. I get delayed and duplicate texts (at times) from the sender. Also, 1/4 of my texts don't go through. This is also my second device and I don't see a solution. Sucks when you rely on your cell phone for work.

Even though you have good signal, it still might be a service issue. For about a month, I was having the same issue with my s4. It went away on its own, so I'm assuming it was service related. It also wouldn't hurt to try a new sim card.

I'm with Towle in that it's probably a service issue. For the last three weeks, I've been going back and forth with T-Mobile because suddenly two of my kids can't send texts or get caller ID on their S3s. And when I first received my Note 3, I didn't receive any mobile data for a week. They've had me swap SIMs, rebooted countless times, had the engineers 'reset the rate plan' a few times, and we're still having problems. I'm in the NE Illinois region, if that's any help.
I haven't rooted my SM-N900T yet but I have noticed that (in my case) wifi seems to be related to this issue. When I activate wifi calling or turn wifi off completely I'll get a stream of messages.
I have been having the same problem. Glad to see its not just me but hope we find a fix. I also have a issue keeping LTE although im less than 1/2 mile from a tower. If I toggle wifi I get it back but loose it within a couple of hours and then repeat the process.

Try going into settings, wifi, hit menu, advanced, and uncheck Auto network switch. This will keep it locked to your signal rather than switching back and forth needlessly. This resolved my similar issue. I also unchecked Always allow scanning.
I understand what your saying about the network itself affecting the signal, but this just happened when i switched to the note 3. Everything was fine on my previous phone.
It seems like its happening less frequently now, but i do still miss calls and i have to constantly check my voice mail to check.
I've had the issue with missed calls, but it has mostly happened at my office where it's spotty coverage. Also, the duplicate text issue is super annoying. However the issues are very minimal now on second phone with the new ISIS SIM (comes with phone).
I actually posted about this last week... I thought I was the only one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547762
Here's a copy and paste of that post along with update:
So I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile about 2 months ago...
Ever since I switched, I have been having massive issues.
The first issue happened while on the stock ROM 3 weeks in. For 2 hours, my phone didnt ring or receive any texts. When I made a phone call after those 2 hours, I got a dozen texts in and a few voicemails all in the span of 1 minute. My friends had been trying to call and SMS me for those 2 hours and my phone only received them when I "woke" it up with that phone call.
Then last Friday, I had 3 different people tell me they had SMS'd me and I hadn't received those texts.
Then today, I sent a simple MMS text to about 20 people wishing them happy Thanksgiving. Everyone on T-Mobile got them. On AT&T and Verizon phones, most of my friends got blank texts. I tried to resend it, but they either received a tiny version of the image or another blank text.
On top of ALL this, I am getting duplicate texts from people randomly.
It can't be the phone, as I had to replace it under insurance a week ago (when i accidentally cracked the screen). And it can't be the ROM, as this has happened to me under stock ROM, DarthStalker, and Wicked.
I called T-Mobile and entered a ticket last night about this. This is a HUGE issue. While I love my phone and the fast data speeds, missing SMS (and phone calls) is a game ender.. On the first night I had this happen, I had a date waiting in my lobby for over an hour thinking I stood her up when I didnt respond to her texts. I've gotten in similar trouble with other missing texts.
Update:
So on Friday, I called T-Mobile to tell them about further issues. They told me my ticket had been closed. I immediately told them to re-open the ticket as they hadn't actually fixed anything. On Monday, three of my incoming calls were randomly dropped (with full signal showing on my phone).
Today, I got a call from T-Mobile. He said there had been an issue on Thanksgiving with the network, which is why my MMS didnt go out. But for the dropped calls and missing SMS, after telling him these problems are happening even with WiFi off, he said I should go to the T-Mobile store and have my SIM chip replaced.
This is REALLY frustrating.

It can't be the phone, as I had to replace it under insurance a week ago (when i accidentally cracked the screen). And it can't be the ROM, as this has happened to me under stock ROM, DarthStalker, and Wicked.
I called T-Mobile and entered a ticket last night about this. This is a HUGE issue. While I love my phone and the fast data speeds, missing SMS (and phone calls) is a game ender.. On the first night I had this happen, I had a date waiting in my lobby for over an hour thinking I stood her up when I didnt respond to her texts. I've gotten in similar trouble with other missing texts.
Update:
So on Friday, I called T-Mobile to tell them about further issues. They told me my ticket had been closed. I immediately told them to re-open the ticket as they hadn't actually fixed anything. On Monday, three of my incoming calls were randomly dropped (with full signal showing on my phone).
Today, I got a call from T-Mobile. He said there had been an issue on Thanksgiving with the network, which is why my MMS didnt go out. But for the dropped calls and missing SMS, after telling him these problems are happening even with WiFi off, he said I should go to the T-Mobile store and have my SIM chip replaced.
This is REALLY frustrating.

The wife and I are having the exact same issue. We both got the note 3 last week. Interesting enough it only happens when wifi is on. I tried with and without wifi calling.

I took off Wifi calling because it seemed like it was causing issues for me with calls/texts. I haven't gotten a duplicate text in a few days now. But I definitely had similar issues to everyone on thread. We definitely are not crazy.
I know right, I called tmobile, they said the usual...but then the issues stoped? Wierd
