Whenever someone calls me I get a call from a completely random number. Once I answer, there's no one on the other end. I'm running myrom but doubt it has anything to do with it because it hasn't really happened before. I have been running the same version for about two weeks. Im thinking it might be a tmobile issue? Is it happening to anyone else? If it helps I'm in Miami
Happened to me and my wife, like few weeks ago, random calls, random numbers, like almost every 5 minutes.
Called Tmobile, they said it's a known issue, some people reported the same thing, they said they still investigating what might cause it and told me to call again the next day, but the problem went away that same night, so I didnt call them back.
It happened to me last night for about 3 hrs, its now working correctly.
So let me get this straight?... out of nowhere, for "x" amount of time, your phones just starts receiving random calls every few minutes?
Lol I got a random call the other day (strangely enough, it was within minutes of geetting off a call)...never anything more but hey, atleast it was from a sexy sounding chick !!!

Those random calls are not the same as wrong number calls, it's like they're not completely connected calls. So it's either go straight to missed calls, or when you pick up, no one is answering. The phone area codes are so random.
Very interesting, glad I read this. I started getting a ton of random / bizarre calls which I rarely answered. I changed my # when I got my Note 2 and switched from ATT to TMo, and assumed that they were spam telemarketers or something, as I didn't think to register my new number on the "Do Not Call" registry until this started. I was sick of all these BS calls and it takes a month for the do not call registration to kick in, so I installed Call Control (which I think is a pretty solid app) and the calls pretty much stopped. I activated the pro version trial included in the app, and was thinking about paying to keep it going, but having learned that it's at least partially a known TMo issue, I think sticking with the lite/free version of the app will suffice. Anyways, thanks for posting and saving me some coin
Read the permissions that ir apps have before installing em, i install an amazon free app of the day ince, and i started getting random calls from Nevada. Try googling the number you get and ull find out more info. I just put that number into the blick list on the phones settings, never happened since.

The more these apps require permissions we shoot ourselves in the foot. Time to uninstall a lot

I went all day last night with no texts and then today with none at all. Finally I had my friend text me, and I never received the text. I can text him, and he will get it, but I cannot receive his. Mobile data works and I can make calls fine. Any ideas?
Running CM7.1 RC1.

*Bump*
I hate to double post, but if someone could honestly give me an idea as to what they think may be going on, that would be awesome. I called Sprint and talked to their customer care people and the best they gave me was to come into the store and get a hard reset.
I have changed from the CM7 ROM to Synergy to see if that was the issue, and it didn't change anything. I flashed the combination ZIP of everything from this thread and nothing has seemed to work.
My friend has an HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon and I am using his phone to try to fix mine. I can send a text to him and him receive it instantly. I can send texts from his phone to mine, see the 3G data bars go nuts and then absolutely nothing happens.
The customer care reps for Sprint sent me a "Test" text from their system to see if I would receive it, and nothing happened.
I'm completely lost on the issue, and texting is a rather big part of what I do on my phone, so I would really enjoy having it back up and running. It was working fine before yesterday.
The only thing I can remember changing on my phone was the RAM optimization script posted. I flashed it to see how it would work, but that is the only thing I can remember changing.
If any of you have a clue, please fill me in. Much appreciated.
Do you have your phone number integrated with google voice?

Edit: Logged into Google Voice and found that it had all of my texts on there.. Enable the feature for it to send them to my phone as well, and everything is working fine now. A solid day of flashing/rebooting and searching and it was Google Voice... *Sigh*
Thanks for the help guys.
I've been using gvoice thru Sprint primarily since they teamed up and lately I've been having an issue. I'm not receiving all my texts from my partner for sometimes days after he sent them. Texts are basically received when he sends them or not received by gvoice for hours or days later. I've only recently noticed this with his texts and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Ive been useing it since the start as well. have not had this issue or any other issues. How ever before gvoice thing i would never receive any text messages from one of my friends ever (6+ months), but was fixed when i switched to gvoice.. So maybe something similar but i dont know what it is.
sidenote: he is on t-mobile . but i dunno if that matters cause my entire famliy is on t-mobile as well and i got all there messages.
Hopefully u find your answer its annoying
Yeah I've enjoyed the sprint+gvoice experience until now. It's really odd. For now I've switched to talking to my partner via gtalk. I've filed a report with the gvoice help site. I'm debating calling Sprint but I'm unaware if it's a Sprint related issue or a gvoice issue BC it's not like gvoice isn't notifying me of the incoming texts, it's just not receiving random texts from my partner for days.

its worth a shot but i bet they have rather limited google voice knowledge. Maybe for last resort go into settings of ur google voice and revert back to sprint and see if it comes through. Ive never done this so i dont know if you can revert right back to google voice or not , I dont see why not though.
I had to spend 1/2 hour on phone with tech support due to Google voice "taking over my phone". It wouldn't allow me to call without it or disable it. I don't think my situation is relevant but perhaps Sprint can help on their end.

I hate gvoice... It completely screwed call and text receipt on my wife's EVO. The only way to get rid of it is to go to the Google voice website and remove your phone from the account. Once we did that all was well.
Just posting in case anyone has or had the same GVoice issues that I have.
I disabled GV via desktop GV settings and reverted back to my original GV #. I then re-enabled the Sprint+GV integration and so far I have received all of the texts that have been sent to me just like I should. *EDIT* Problem still exists. I'm ****ed.
So heres the deal.
STATS:
SAMSUNG EPIC TOUCH 4G
ROOTED
STOCK KERNEL FLASHED VIA ODIN.
LOCATION: NYC (QUEENS)
ISSUE: i cannot SEND SMS messages... on 4g, 3g, or wifi. (I CAN RECEIVE TEXT NO PROBLEM)
4G , 3G, WIFI. all WORK. as they should (albeit not the best speeds) but it does, allow use of market, fully functional apps, web browsing and etc.
i tried updating profile, and PRL. no luck..
sometimes it will go through once every 12 times.
i was on the phone with sprint, they couldn't figure it out..
so im asking the community, any ideas?
UPDATE..
FLASHED Z'S V3 KERNEL, AND STOCK KERNEL AGAIN, STILL NO DICE.. IT WAS WORKING EARLIER.. i dont get it... sprint claims the towers are fine locally..
Did it to me a couple times. Maybe the network? Having quite a bit of trouble with data right now as well

Oh I know. I usually average 8-12k texts per month. are you on your own plan?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Sprint has a new online system where you can disable texts, either ingoing, outgoing, or both. Data and voice can be disabled as well, all on whatever line you choose.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
this is my own line, and my friend told me theres an issue with a tower around here (shes been with sprint for months)
and im getting through now with my text, so its a tower thing i assume.
will be fixed tomorrow morning according to when she called up to sprint today
Cool, good deal

Definitely a network issue
All of my phones (rooted/not rooted) are having texting and data issues right now
I've also been having numerous issues with texts not being sent out. About 2 in 10 will actually be sent. Receiving seems to be okay, but then again who knows. I've called Sprint and they have had me do the standard things, such as update profile, prl, and pull the battery. I did recently root, by using the kernel with CWM, flashing su, then going back to the stock kernel. I also disabled Sprint Integration with Google Voice and that seemed to help a lot, but I'm not sure if that was the cause.
I'm having this issue too. Sometimes it also says message not sent, but the other person replies, so I'm assuming they get sent anyways.
Sometimes when I text I get an error saying message not sent.and when I resend it.the person on the other end says they received the same message twice.I'll either press resend or I press the red error button that pops up next to message.seems like pressing the red error symbol next to message may only send once after error.

Same thing started happening to me today. Very perplexing.
I've been having this issue and it's easily the biggest flaw I've had on a device in years. I have random messages that won't be sent... well at least until some random day and time when they all go through at once. People don't tend to be very happy to receiving backlogged texts at 2 in the morning.
been getting this problem from time to time, reboot my phone and texts seem to go back out for a while at least.

Sorry to get off topic, but did no one else read that?! 12000 texts per month? 400 per day? If you sleep 8 hours you are sending a text 25 per hour, nearly one every other minute.
Slow down man, smell the roses.
I just sat next to a friend and sent 10 messages to him, each with a number 1-10. Only numbers 5, 6, 8, and 10 went through. That's a 40% success rate. Unacceptable.
I was having a problem with receiving texts and calls while in sleep, I followed this and after installing zedomaxs stock kernal
maybe this will work for you guys

***I think you need the stock Kernel or else you might get a bootloop
The MSL can be found by downloading "terminal emulator" and typing "getprop ril.MSL" It is case sensitive.
From there, go to the phone, and type ##72786# , at the SCRTN screen select yes, let the phone reboot, let the activation go through its thing NOT TOUCHING THE SCREEN unless it tells you to. Let it do a reboot again.

EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM!
THIS IS KILLING ME!
2 days now.
all was fine, on calkulin 2.0.1a rom, and ek02 modem.. noticed people were not receiving my SMS, only about 10-15%... my MMS would send no problem.
i also have google integration.
i wiped 4 times, flashed fresh.. no go.. updated prl/profile.. no go.. swapped modems and kernels... no go.. HELP ME!!
i send myself texts, i get about 15% only..
going to try ##72786# thing now, just nandroid first. HOPEFULLY WORKS!
ANYONE??
UPDATE:
after dealing with this for 12 hours. literally trying everything.. (roms, modems, wipe, wipe, sprint tech, EVERYTHING), i think i may have come to the issue.
i unported my phone # from google voice back to my regular sprint #. my sms and mms now work perfectly. i still receive calls and sms to my phone, but when i call out or send text it shows my sprint # and not my google #..
i am waiting 15 minutes to try to re-port my phone # back to my google # to see if maybe it will start working again..

I've had this problem on multiple phones from Sprint.
The phone claims the text wasn't sent, but moments after it tells me it failed, I get a reply from the recipient.
I think often it has to do with Sprint's network, not the phone.
Happened to me twice in a couple thousand texts so far...

Same here, my evo3d, photon and ET4g all did it, it a carrier issue. I use roam control sometimes to lock it into roaming, texts send fine. Reboots don't always work for me.

OK, thanks for the responses. It has gotten repeatedly worse past few days and is frustrating to have these issues with such a high-end phone. Rebooting and/or updating prl has not helped much. Was ready to break phone yesterday over it, lol.
Mine send but sometimes I get texts a day later and i have no idea what people are saying.

If you use roam control and force your phone into roam the problems go away. I've never had the issues while on Verizons network.
I have experiences this issue in 2 diff forms.
1. The form the OP mentioned. You send a text, it says "not send due to network error" but the text still gets sent. So when you resent the text (you are resending because it says "not sent", so u dont know it didnt get sent) it goes a total of THREE (not 2) times for some reason.
2. This is the ghost LoS reason. You have full signal and everything SEEMS normal, but when u try to make a phone call, it will seem as though the phone call is abt 2 go thru, but its just stuck on the dialing screen, and even if you press the end call button, it still stuck on that screen. Also during ghost LoS, if you try to send a text message, it will not go thru. AND, if someone calls you, it will go straight to voicemail and you will not receive any texts.
I am always texting my self "test", like every 30 mins, to make sure i dont have LoS. And i hate it, hope this gets fixed soon!!
The only way to get out of ghost LoS is to reboot the phone.

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.

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.

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.
