Can't send texts, but can receive - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys I'm having some trouble with my phone. I can send and receive calls, and only receive texts it seems. Every time I send a text out all I get is the error that it hasn't been sent. Absolutely frustrating and I can't figure out why this is happening. I am on the latest blu kuban rom, wiped and flashed back to stock, currently back to latest kuban. Nothing seemed to fix the issue and this started from yesterday. I do not believe this is a network error because how else can I possible do everything but send texts? If anyone can help that'd be great. Thanks.

lol was hoping someone didn't mention that. Hopefully this is something that clears up by tomorrow or something. I've had something similar to this but it was the other way around (could send texts, but would not receive for hours after the sender sent it). But that issue cleared up in a matter of hours, the current issue has exceeded that time frame. I'll update thread if it fixes itself. In the meantime if anyone knows what to do please don't hesitate to tell.

HTC EVO SMS Problem

Cant figure this out, hope there is a hotfix. The order of my SMS messages are all screwed up. The messages that are sent to me show a completely different time than mine. This makes it very hard to have a conversation. I can send a message say at 2:00, and girl sends me a message back it will say like 6:53 and push all other messages out of order. This happens when anyone messages me. Im completely up to date. Any ideas?

MORE INFO PLEASE
rom,kernel,prl, network?
might wanna move this to q&a
This belongs in a different thread.
Try updating profiles or give it time. Sometimes its a network issue.
Future reference this should be in q n a.
Are you using the stock messages app? I thought I read once on XDA that someone else had an issue like this, but when using a 3rd party app, it worked fine. Maybe try that, and if it's not that, it's probably something with your network atm.
I have this problem when I'm roaming but the hours are just off, minutes are the same. Like if someone sends me something at 12:34 my phone will say 4:34. I assume its just because I'm roaming though.

Text Messaging

Anyone else unable to send text messages? I just got this phone and I absolutely love it but I can't send texts. I can receive them though. I have been on the phone with sprint for an hour and they are now telling me to take it back and get a new one.

Try updating your profile? Try handcent?
update profile and prl from menu > settings > about phone > system updates
Did all of this multiple times.
did you port your number to google voice?
Are you using an Airave? I was unable to send any texts out at home but was able to anywhere else. Found out that the Airave was the cause so I shut it off for the time being and everything is working fine.
Call sprint and let them know. They will walk you through a refresh.

I have a bunch of dead spots in my apartment complex. Airave was able to get everything covered nicely.
same thing here. took about 30 minutes before it would start texting properly after activation
Had the same issue, I restarted my airave and it started working fine. Just unplug and plug back in.

I do have an Airave and that is the problem. When I got to work this morning everything is perfect. Stupid Airave!
This unfortunately happened to me. Apparently I had about 50 text messages that never sent (which explains why I didn't get some replies) since getting the phone on Friday. Well, my phone decided to send them all at 2 this morning. I had a few very upset people that I was texting them the most random things at such a terrible hour. I had previously updated my profile and all that good stuff, so hopefully this won't be an ongoing issue moving forward, otherwise I may be forced to reactive my Evo 3D.
I had the exact opposite issue yesterday. Was able to send but not receive any texts. I seemed to fix by itself towards the end of the day. Might be the local towers fixing something.
Airrave ...you mean MiFi right...same effect

[Q] Missing sent and received texts

Just recently starting yesterday, I've been having this problem.
Many of my texts I send show as sent on my phone, but are never actually received. Also, I receive many texts that never show up on my phone. (I only know I got them because of Google voice)
It's not LOS because random texts will get through, I've rebooted and have the same issue, and im running LoSD which detects nothing.
Im running EK02 and using Google voice, though I used both of them prior to these problems, so i don't think its related.
Anyone else having this problem? Its very frustrating
Thanks in advance

Before posting have you had Sprint reset you in the system or have you updated your profile
No I haven't.
Im not sure if this is what you mean but I've had the OTA update notification pop up alot. I always say install later though because I don't want stock
Edit: just updated my profile and PRL, ill see if that fixes the problem

Updating PRL and profile didn't work unfortunately
I also reflashed my ROM after stock-odin'ing. still have the problem.
It's even happening on Stock EG30.
Should I call Sprint? Maybe something wrong with the phone?

[Q] Text Receive/Send Delay by about a day?!

This is the second time this has happened:
the first time, I sent texts to a friend and his replies never came to me until the day after. He confirmed the problem was with my phone by sending texts to other friends
Two days ago I sent a bunch of texts that never made it to the intended recipient until hours later or in a few cases, the next day!\
This morning I sent a text from my phone and haven't gotten a reply back from the recipient. I checked my google voice and it has record of every other text I sent today except that one... So I have no idea if the first one went through or not.
What's going on? Can a hard reset fix this problem?

This is a known issue that's been happening a lot lately and is related to Sprint service or lack of it. I've had these problems for the past few weeks, even though Sprint doesn't acknowledge this as a problem.

Nothing to do with GV?
This is DEFINATELY a Sprint related issue, I can almost guarantee it. It happens to myself, and also happens to friends and co-workers who are totally stock. Ohhhh Sprint, when are you going to get it together???
Sometimes I send a text to myself to see how long the delay is.
Wow. This blows, because it happened while trying to set up a date! Haha, ohhh welll!

Maybe an email would be quicker?
I had this issue with sending. I was thinking it had to do with my Google Voice integration and my airave (femtocell). Unplugged my airave and haven't noticed the problem again. I feel I could have undone my GV integration and gotten the same result. Before I unplugged the airave, i was constantly checking my GV app, if i didn't see the outbound message there, I would resend it.

I was having problems with receiving texts on Bell as well when I was running the stock rom. I wouldn't get any texts for a while and then as soon as I sent one out they would all flood in. Sometimes sending out a text didn't even work and I'd have to restart the phone, so if you haven't already tried that, give that a shot (pull the battery as well, just to be sure). If that doesn't work I'd give bell a call
I'm on CM9 now and I haven't had any issues yet
Good Luck!
