Sprint voice mail issues - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys, I haven't seen anyone talking about this before, and if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it. My wife's phone is straight stock (I'm guessing fl24, or whatever the last ota was) unrooted firmware.
However we both have very different issues with our voicemail. Mine I'm not to concerned with, as its probably something I changed God knows where conflicting somehow.
Whenever she receives a voicemail she gets multiple copies, I'm talking hundreds of copies. I tested this by leaving a 3 second message that she then received 127 times.
Is anyone else seeing this, or is this possibly her phone going mental?
Just trying to get a take on this, see if it needs to be replaced or can be fixed here at home.
And to answer the obvious, yes - I cleared app data and cache.
No - I didn't delete and reinstall (unrooted remember?)
Thanks guys:beer:

Ok have her clear data then open the vvm app, go to menu and record a message doesnt matter what dead air is fine. Then send the message to [email protected] and wait a few mins til a return message comes in saying congratulations your account has been verified or something similar. Should fix it, it did when mine went haywire on aosp

Thank you, that fixed her issue so I figured I'd give it a shot with mine and no go.
For some reason it acts like it can't connect to verify my account, I get constant messages saying something about messages waiting to be sent. So far I've cleared data and cache, tried your suggestion, uninstalled and reinstalled, flashed a zip, and pushed the apk, no luck. I also tried prl and profile update thinking maybe the towers were not recognizing me, but that did nothing either.
I'm baffled LOL

With yours have you tried calling you vm (longpress 1 on dialpad) then listen and delete all the messages. Then turn off phone, call and leave a VM and turn it back on and see if it will provision. I had provisioning issues when there were messages on the network

Idk if theres anything in the data menu or not. You could always do ##786# > reset then when it boots ##72786# and reprovision the entire phone, just make sure you're as close to stock as possible, and before resetting go to about phone > status and write down your MIN incase you need to manually input it during the provisioning under ##72786# > edit.
Edit: you only need to write it down if the MIN 10-digit is different from your phone # sometimes its the same 10 digits and sometimes its entirely different.

Google Voice all Biffed up (resovled)

So I just dropped my soon to be ex wife from my shared plan....Sprint changed my plan and the lady told me i would have to set GV back up...So I uninstalled it, redownloaded it and set it back up. But now It will not receive text through GV, I can send, but it returns through the stock app. I have verified the settings, tried another fresh install of the app, rebooted....anything I could think of!!
Any ideas?
So the damn foreign sprint rep...
worthless...ended up cussing him out, who knows if he really understood what i called him...
In the end, i had to go into the voice account on the ole laptop, delete my number from there, un install from the phone, and to be safe I used ROMtoolbox and cleared app data and cache. Then I reinstalled from the phone and it synced the desktop version. No help from sprint...He said that when the plan changed the system had to removed google voice...thats all he could manage to tell me.

Sweet rant bro.
Seriously, its a setting. On the first setup screen, hit skip. Then once you get past the rest of the setup, go into the app and change the delivery method from stock app to GV. Enjoy!

it is a setting.. just required logging into your gv from the computer to remove your cell number from the account and reloading the application.. you couldnt have removed your number from the phone.. or maybe a browser in desktop mode.. either way ive seen the answer to your question in other threads.. glad you fixed it.. i never use my gv number with my sprint number.. i use gv with a sip client and use both numbers seperately for calls and sms

[Q] sms send failing

I am getting errors with my sms texts on my phone. I am able to receive them just fine, however I can not send them. I am running Blazer Rom v4.1 with Rogue Hitman 1.5 kernel. I have already tried fixing permissions as well as updating the PRL and profile. None of that helped. Any help is appreciated. P.S. Everything else on my phone is working just fine including making and receiving phone calls.
Is it text msgs or pic and vid msgs you're having trouble with? Try going to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete telephony.db. Reset your phone and let me know if that works.
It is the texts themselves I cannot send, although I haven't tried pic or video. I just deleted telephony.db. Lets hope this works =].
Nothing has changed since I deleted the file. I still get the same error message saying that my text is still sending, but it never goes through.
You may consider reflashing.

I was thinking of that, but I dont feel like setting everything up a
gain lol.
Then do a nandroid backup. After you flash, get appextractor from the market. I bought the key for it too. It will recover all you apps and the data. Its well worth the couple bucks.

Thanks MeWarning. I had been searching around for a solution for my phone and came across your post. There aren't a lot of things out there that mention failed texts. My stock Epic Touch would not send any text messages while roaming. I spent an hour on the phone with Sprint, the level 2 tech guy told me to put the phone in Sprint only mode, no help there. I did a factory reset, didn't fix it. So, I rooted the phone and tried deleting the telephony file and all is working now. My boss was having the same issue and that solution fixed his as well.

"Unable to send message. Too many unsent multimedia messages"

I get this error message whenever i try to send a multimedia message. I've been able to send picture messages fine since i got this phone, but now i get this every time i try to send one. just started a few days ago.
I use go SMS pro. but i have tried the stock messenger app too and get the same error.
any idea how to delete just the unsent messages? or any other way to fix this?

Are you running stock or or a custom ROM?
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
stock, but rooted.
What does the exact message say when you try to send it?
Have you called your phone network yet to see if its a problem on their end?
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
edit: just tried to send one again to check the message, the exact error message i get is: "Can't send message right now. There are too many unsent multimedia messages"
I called AT&T and they said they didnt know, everything looks fine and for me to call tech support.
but i have never had luck with any cell phone tech support, so decided to come here first.

Idk she said she deleted all conversations and tryed sending again with the same results. I got it to work the other day by forwarding the Kmart then deleting the one that wasn't sending, worked for a couple days then started with the error msg again.
She's on straight talk, running wicked sensations rom. It will be a few days till I see her and have 5he chance to try to figure out what's going on.

Has she tried a different MMS app ?
I had an issue with sending an MMS the other day, didn't get an error message though just wouldn't send. It turned out to be adblock plus. So if she has an adblocker on her phone try deleting it and restarting the phone.

I'll assume you aren't married and haven't learned how to smile and nood lol
There's got to be a way to make it look pink haha.
One possibility is to remove the secmms.apk reboot and then pull it from the zip and push it to system again, fix permissions, wipe cache, reboot. Maybe that will clear any lingering issues.

Need a little over a year and so is it right for me to I suppose people who get this error just can't send mms anymore, unless reverting with Odin to a completely stock ROM? Haha
Here's what worked for me. Have a Xiomi Redmi Note 3 Pro running latest MIUI developer ROM 7.3.23 and Android 6.0.1 on Rogers network in Canada
Couldnt figure out why I was getting this message only on this phone. My other phones with same SIM card had no issues (Sony Xperia Z Ultra, HTC M8).
Was about to do a factory reset when I came upon an old post. I
1) download the app "History Eraser" from the Play Store
2) open the app and make sure "clear all apps cache" box is CHECKED
3) next, scroll down SMS/MMS section and check boxes "SMS/MMS Draft" and "Failed SMS/MMS"
should delete any messages/other stuff you don't need and is clogging up your system.
Am able to send pics once more using the Xiomi. Good luck!
yep that was the fix for me.
Btw, 3rd party apps wont work on my Xiaomi phone to replace the existing messaging app for SMS and MMS. When I used Facebook messenger I could not send MMS and when I reverted back to the xiaomi messaging app all those attempted to send MMS in facebook messenger were put into the messaging app and I had to go through all my contacts and delete the MMS as they said 'Sending'. Once I removed all the MMS that had not sent it then worked properly again. What a PITA! if your messages aren't that important just delete every chat in your messaging app also works.
Saved me!

I too was about to do a factory reset on my Mate 9....when I stumbled on your text. Apparently the default SMS/MMS program "sees" failed sends in all other messaging apps (Skype? Viber" Google Voice) because I had ZERO failed messages in the default program. HISTORY ERASER stopped me from pulling the last remaining hairs on my head. Thanks.

Call log crashing

Ok so I upgraded my girlfriend's glide last night to the official ics rom, knowing about the keyboard issue. I have read another post fixing that. And will get around to it eventually. More pressing is the new issue I have not seen anywhere. Has anyone had any problems with the call log? Every time she makes or received a call the "android system" force closes and the log does not show any of the recent calls.

Same over here!
The com.android.phone is having some problems.

Found this:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34929
It seems that some contacts are not well handled on update so what they recomend is to merge all contacts with your google account. Then delete them all from the phone, and once you've done that, importing them again from google.
Gonna try it (after backing them up on my computer) and let you know how it goes.
Have you tried backing up everything and then do a factory reset? For major release updates (froyo->gb, gb->ICS) it seems that the migration process can sometimes run into problems. I had to do a reset for my Atrix for the froyo->GB update, the phone was FC'ing all over the place.
Yes, I have done a backup and reset. And I also tried deleting all the contacts and re-syncing the device. That did fix it, for a bit. However today it is right back to the shenanigans again.

I guess it is also with noting that when com.Android.Phone force closes, the phone signal drops.
Any ideas? Also I have cleared the call log.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
maybe try wiping the cache in recovery?
Last ngiht, I did a clear user data and cache, and went back into Kies and reinstalled the update (assuming a bad flash). I did not setup facebook, but I did setup at&t address book and got the contacts from the google account. I skipped installing Smartr Contacts and I have not heard from her today complaining about anything other than I didn't run the setup on all her apps so she had to. Will post back later to let you in on if she had any problems today.
factory reset
I read somewhere a piece of advice for this problem: make a factory reset (be sure to make a backup of your important files on the sdcard before that). I tried that, since than I have no longer this problem
So I've done a factory reset. After 30+ hours still no issues with the call log.
After a re-install of 4.0.4 she no longer has this issue, and the alt key on the slide out keyboard seems to work again.

How to Stop a Sending Gmail Message

So, long story short i accidentally hit send on a very private email and did not notice i put in a different persons email.. long story short i shoved my phone off of wifi and turned off data to cause it to stay in outbox. HOW do i cancel this message or stop it from sending? Im not sure if deleting it will really stop it or not.
Does it still say that it is sending or that it has already been sent? If it is still in draft then you should be OK to delete it then turn data back on.

When this happens you can kill your data connection and then clear data and cache for GMail
