For reasons I cannot determine, my Note 2 will stop receiving phone calls and texts.
Callers will here my phone ring on their end, but my Note 2 will not ring. Text messages will not come through either.
Making a call from my phone or rebooting will fix the problem; 20 missed texts will come at once and the phone will ring again.
The problem is, 1) that it happens at all, and 2) there is no indication when it does happen.
At&t has reset my network and exchanged the sim card, to no avail.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Thanks!
Just asking, you say stock phone, but are you using the stock messaging app?

I am using Handcent. I considered that could be the issue, but would that affect the phone calls also?

I had to dump handset, it was messing up stuff for me. Went back to stock messaging, will just have to find a pop up add on for it.

I was having this issue on stock for two different reasons. 1) I disabled the at&t messaging app in the manage applications menu area. 2) I had a bad sim card.
Now I think issue number one was also because of issue number 2 because after the new sim card I had no problems disabling the at&t messaging app. The whole problem is you won't know unless you are sending yourself test messages form another phone. Good luck.
I forgot the other thing it was doing with the bad sim was not allowing me to use the internet while on a phone call, it was completely dropping data on a phone call so no text messages either.

hey I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this yet, as I can't find any info about this in any forum so far:
Whenever I flash a rom, this issue doesn't show up right away, but it always does, regardless of phone or build. Currently every sms message I send is stuck in a "sending" status on my device. The recipient always gets the message, but my phone thinks that it hasn't been sent. So, whenever I reboot my phone, if I haven't cleared all of my threads, my phone will resend every sent message on my phone. If I flash the same rom on top of itself, it goes away for a few more days, but it always comes back. Again, this is regardless of rom and even phone (D1, Eris,fascinate, DX, and incredible). Does anyone know what could be causing this? At the very least if someone could direct me to the property place to ask this question, I'd appreciate it.

I don't think it's a tower issue. When I send a message, in handcent there is s spinning wheel next to the message until the phone registers the message as "sent". this happens in it's own way across any and all sms apps on my phone. If I create and send the message in the stock messages app, it will show as sending in my other app and vice-versa. For the record, I have tried this with handcent, chomp sms and go sms.

No, I haven't. I'll try it tonight when I get home from work. I sent a text to myself last night to test, and while it got to me immediately, it sent itself again 4 hours later. I'm not sure if that means anything significant or not but I'll try using another phone tonight.

This was a known issue with some phones and some SMS/MMS clients. Handcent implemented a fix, not sure about other clients. See this post in android forums for implementing the fix: http://androidforums.com/android-ap...on-without-resending-old-sms.html#post2136469

Thanks for this info!! I'm currently trying go sms again jaded on a reply in that thread, which seems to be working. I want to try the handcent fix, but I don't feel like taking the time to see how well consistently it works and risk text bombing people again. Hopefully some better themes start popping up

K this is something thats really bugging the crap out of me and I'm trying to see if I'm the only one that has this issue
I send one text message and the recipient might get it once or twice. It happens randomly and to different people on different networks. I'm using chomp sms and I've tried handcent along with the stock messaging app and it still continues to do it. It's really annoying, I don't want to go back to the itrash4 because of this...any help would be nice.
edit;
my mytouch 4g was doing this too along w/ the nexus one when I had T-Mobile. I thought it was Tmob's network that was causing this problem; hence the switch to Verizon but yet it still continues. I know I'm not doing anything wrong and it happens at my office and anywhere I'm texting from...I'm starting to think this might be an issue with HTC since it even happen with my thunderbolt, and my cousins thunderbolt...is anyone else experiencing this or am I just out of luck?
........anyone?

Are you getting double incoming messages too?
Do you possibly have duplicate contacts or something to that effect? Maybe certain contacts are in more than one contact category or Google/Phone both and the messages are being sent to both contacts or something really wacky like that?

nope, i just get one message but when i send it, it can go one time or a few..i saw my messages on my girlfriends iphone and it shows me sending "ok" 3 times when on my phone it shows i sent it one time -_-
My contacts are strictly off Google. Now that you mention it...maybe it does have to do with Google? I'll try switching someones contact onto my phone and send messages that way instead of having it off Google and see what that does. Thanks for the help, I'll report back
...still doing it after I changed my contact to my sim
I think I'm going to return it for the iPhone...this ****s a joke

Well, on my Galaxy S3 SPH-L710, whenever I receive a voicemail, I get a text message telling me to dial a number to receive the message. When I do, it tells me "The message requested could not be found."
This only started happening after I rooted my phone. Anyone else have this problem or know a way to fix it so I can access my voicemail normally?
Thanks in advance!
This is actually how your phone talks to voicemail servers, are you still receiving voicemail notifications? That text is susposed to alert your phone via notification of a new voicemail
sent from somewhere using Tapatalk
I myself am still waiting for another method to fix this. You can try to text "Block 9016" to then number "9999", which is a sprint shortcode to block a number. That didn't work for me but it seems to have worked for others.
There's also another method where you go to your VVM app, record a message(3-5 seconds), and send it to "[email protected]". Although I'm pretty sure all this does is let any voicemails you weren't receiving come through into your phone.
The way I understand it, this text is necessary, and there's not much you can do about it. As joeyhdownsouth said, this is how your phone receives a voicemail. If no method works for you then you can do some searches and find an app that will simply block the notification from ever even appearing in your status bar. You still get the text, but the app will intercept it before it can inconvenience you.
I decided not to block it, I don't care that much. It WOULD be nice to not have to get the text but this isn't the worst thing that could happen to me. If I could not get the text at all I would, but I don't care enough to install an app just to block one measly little text.
I have heard that fixing the issue is as simple as finding the appropriate vvm apk that works with your ROM. When I first flashed a custom rom on my s3, I too was plagued by those messages. I tried everything and just could not get rid of them either. On either tw or aosp. But since then, I know I've at least had two custom tw ROMs on my wife's phone that had working vvm without the text messages. Goodness ROM was one. Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen discussion of it working fine on a couple aosp ROMs too. If I stumble across any helpful links, I'll post them.

Also, not sure if you considered gvoice, but that's what I switched to when I couldn't fix the issue. Have used it since. I like the fact that it can back up your text messages. Especially if you are a flashaholic like me. You can have a searchable backup of all your texts no matter how many roms you flash and you don't even need to worry about restoring them from backup.

I think you're right, the sprint VVM app needs the TW framework to work. I remember reading somewhere that the text comes from the java level and you would need an app that interacts with that so the phone doesn't send the text

Or it has to be blocked at a java level by the developer that created the rom, but OP stated his phone is just rooted, kinda strange to be getting the vvm text, don't you think? I used to receive that text on roms that were in the beta stage.

I haven't had this issue myself so I can't be much of help. But I would think that possibly you may have rooted it incorrectly in some way or maybe installed a root application that interfered with your voicemail. This is quite possible.
#1 To Root Properly Visit This Link (I would recommend possibly resetting your phone and using TWRP Recovery instead of CWM Recovery)
OR
#2 Flash Odexed Blue, a custom rom based on TouchWiz, works quite well from personal experience
OR
#3 Flash Freeza's Stock Rom already Rooted for you This is for those who just want Root and no tweaks unlike in Odexed Blue. Also Freeza has a modified Stock Kernel which can be an improvement. BTW Stock Rom for Galaxy S3 is Odexed if you were wondering, maybe use Deodexed since I have heard those are easier to modify, though I may be wrong.
OR
#4 Just reset your phone and reroot again? Resetting can solve a lot of problems
Just a couple suggestions, hope you work out your issue. :good:

My phone was rooted for 6 months and everything was OK. A few days ago, I upgraded to 4.1.2 and that's when my voicemail problem started. I no longer get the voicemail icon. I only get those annoying text messages that don't do anything most of the time. I know there is a fix for this because it happened on my Galaxy S1 and I was able to fix it. But darn if my 65 year old brain remembers how. I would appreciate some help. Thanks.

I have only had my Sprint GNote4 since Friday morning and i love the phone. But, i started having a odd issue today. All of the sudden my phone will not send or receive sms text messages, it just says message failed to send. I am using the stock messaging app, however i also tried hangouts and got the same result. What is even more strange to me is how i get texting to work again. What seems to work is i attempt to make a phone call, it immediately fails, but then on the second attempt the call goes through. ...then my text messages all go through. I apologize if someone has posted this, but i didn't see anything about it when i searched.
Anyone see this issue too or am i just special?

Do you by chance have an airave and live in an area being upgraded? Had that issue where I live. If so, turn off the airave and see if it changes the issue. Sprint has a newer version they will swap out if this turns out to be the problem. Hope this helps.
If you mean the update in the system aettings, yes i did try that. Thanks for replying though.
No, i do not have an airwave, but i do believe i am in an area with Spark, i have the litttle swirling star icon next to my LTE icon. Thanks getting back to me.

I am still having the issue, and I also have found that my phone calls are not coming through all of the time. I am starting to suspect my SIM may be the cause. I am currently using my phone with LTE disabled to see how it goes.
Do you have adblock or another ad blocking app installed? If so remove the app and see if that fixes your issues.
No adblock apps installed. It happens on stock and custom roms too.

Yeah maybe a carrier thing, but deffo not the imessage thing usually when that happens the message will send and the end user will not receive it. Or they will be able to send and I will not receive it. And this just started about a month ago, on top of that its only with the google app all other sms apps work fine
Think I am going to get a new sim card and go from there.
Happen to me yesterday. I did come from an iPhone but disabled imessage. Sunday all pictures and messages went through. Yesterday I could receive or send pics. Force closed and wiped the cache of the messaging app. Them contacted Verizon. They did setting on their end and sent me some test pics. Able to open them about an hour later. No issues since.

Go into your default app settings and check what your default SMS/MMS app is?
Might be something other than the app you're using.
Titanium Backup has a bad habit of choosing to be the default app.
As do a few other apps.
I'm on Verizon and that happens sometimes to me. I always thought it was a connectivity issue but if there is a fix I'd love to see it. never had an iPhone.
