Sprint wasn't any help with me. I was on the phone with them for over a week trouble-shooting with them. They ended up saying it was the Airave vendor's fault, not theirs. Also, the newer Airave 2.5 won't be any help according to them.
With me, it was both texting AND calling, even when I left home. The first problem I had was I couldn't send/receive any texts or receive incoming calls until I came back into my Airave area. I would get all of my texts and voicemails. The phone would work fine for about 10 minutes in my Airave coverage, then problems. That was with ZV8 and after about 2 weeks of having the phone.
I updated from ZV8 to ZV9 and for shi*s and grins, decided to turn my Airave back on, and everything worked fine again for about 2 weeks. Now I just have texting issues when inside Airave coverage. When I leave, it starts working again.
The funny thing is that I have an Airave at work with NONE of these problems, but Sprint won't send me a new one for my home for some reason, saying they are waiting for the vendor to fix the problem.
Not really happy with Sprint's Airave tech support.
Though YMMV.
I agree with you the support for a device that has there name on it sucks that's why I was trying to get help here before I call

Anyone here in the Wa state and having Connection issues? Was on a call when it dropped (which was odd first time it's happened) and getting a msg saying I'm roaming on data.
I'm up in Everett and my coverage is fine.

it's back now kinda wondering if I just got hit with the LOS problem. although a reboot didn't fix it and was on the phone when it happened lol.
Hey is is me, or did we use to be able to send MMS while connected to WiFi and in a call?
I swear that I use to be able to send pictures while connected to to my home wireless and being on the phone until EL29 came out. I use that function a lot, but I'm starting to question myself. I've flashed multiple ROMs to make sure I was just going crazy, but it seems that every EL29 ROM I flash the MMS just says sending until I get off the phone. Then after that my 3G icon pops up with the WiFi icon still there, then the picture gets sent. I SWEAR it didn't use to be like that.
I still can send mms when on a call
I am pretty sure that I can as well. Ill have to try tomorrow and let you know for sure.
oh man. geeze. please let me know. I wanna find out what's going on
im not sure about the phone call part,
but even if your on wifi the phone still turns on 3g to authenticate thru sprints picmail servers before sending it
I can answer this one. If your on 3g and on a call, no you can't send mms. When you're on a call it knocks off your 3g to make the call. Now if you're on 4g, then you can send mms because you still have your 4g connection running. Another thing I would like to add is back when the first Evo and Epic came out, sending mms wasn't supported over 4g till Sprint made some changes on how sending mms works on their network. However one thing I haven't tried is to see if I can send mms thru just wifi with 4g and 3g off. It has me a lil curious because I know it didn't back then but they might had changed that when they changed it to allow sending thru 4g. But it could also just work on their networks only so idk..
Edit: I just put my E4gT on hotspot mode and disabled network data on a Sprint iPhone and Evo3D, both failed at sending. Soon as I enabled their data back the messages got sent. So you still can't send mms over wifi it relies on falling back to 3g. The way I recall it is the 3g comes on to send the mms then drops once it sends, but since you're on a call it won't do that.. Hope that helps lol

right, uses 3g/4g to authenticate thru picmail servers, wont do that on wifi itself. no sprint connection=no picturemail.
Connect to wifi and send a picture (while you have a signal) and you will still see the 3g icon come on for a few seconds while it sends.
That's really weird though. I really use to be able to send mms while on the phone on wifi. I swear that changed on EL29. but oh well maybe i'm just tripping out

I think you're trippin. Hey maybe you should Odin back to a previous software to test it out and let us know! Lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
OK so I Odin'd back to stock rooted EL29, and guess what?
I CAN send pictures while on the phone and connected to WiFi. the 3G icon doesnt pop up. it just sends. I knew I wasn't trippin. This function seems to have gotten lost among all the modding or something. But yea on a stock ROM, you can hold a conversation and send a picture...you just cant take the picture while in call. but yeah.
So this is my last hope for a solution to my problem. I got the Epic 4g touch almost a week ago. Had Sprint activate it and everything worked for the first 48 hours great. Three days after I got the phone I came home from work and could not send a text message. When I would send a message it would immediately fail and would receive old texts from people over and over. Very rarely a text would go through but then it would stop working again. My Voice and data works fine no issues. So I called Sprint tech support probably 10 times and they had me update PRL update profile they refreshed the data, disabled texts and re-enabled, factory reset. Basically everything they could and I told them I live in a apartment on the first floor next to a main highway and the coverage map says I should have near perfect signal. So they checked for outages and submitted a ticket to check the tower which came back as fine. When I am around town everything works including texts just when I am at the apartment the texting does not work. So Sprint sent me a Airrave. I went from 3 bars to 6 but still no texting. I rooted the phone updated the base-band to FB27 and my PRL version is 61086. So basically I am at a loss. One of the Sprint techs told me it could be a blockage from the concrete slab on the apartment but that makes no sense considering I have another t mobile phone and my roommate has a Verizon droid and neither has had problems and I can get 3g data and voice fine. I downloaded a program called Roam Control and when I am roaming in the apartment texts work fine but I do not want to have to roam all the time for texts. If anyone has any suggestions and could help that would be great.

i have a similar issue but mine is just that i dont get service in my home :/ i would suggest you sign up for google voice if you dont want to roam. Google voice is free for sprint user and you can text from your computer or anything with google voice such as a ipod touch. Also google voice has free visual voice mail. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice&hl=en
I would say hook up your phone to google voice. There is an app also in the play store to allow texts as well as voice calls to go over your wife instead through sprint. Maybe your phone is messed up?

I don't think it is the phone because it does work everywhere else. Its like bafling the tech support people. But I will try google voice. Does google voice texts show up from your number?

This will solve your sms issues..
Do you have wifi at home? If so download "text plus" from the market. It's free. Works for me. I live in a dead zone and text plus sends texts every time! Hope that helped.

OK so... Phone will not get and service. Can not make any calls or SMS (rooted). Wifi works for internet though
I called sprint (about 30 mins on tech support) and they walked me through a couple reboots and updating PRL and whatnot. Finally said the closest tower was "at 93% and having issues" and told me when i'm at another location, try and update the PRL. I drove to a friends house 15 miles away (there was another tower there) but nothing changed after updating PRL.
Things i've tried myself...
*flashed 3 different ROMs both CM and Stock based using normal procedure
*flashed 3 different radios
*change the LTE to CDMA only
any idea what this could be?
Did you try re flashing a touchwiz ROM?

That tower just could be down. You could try a modified PRL until it is fixed. If you need one o can link you one and tell you how to do it. Mine was the same way when my tower was down. Could not text or call but could use internet. After this PRL I could text and call.
Using the phone dialer dial ##72786# this will reset your device on the network. Stay on TW rom until you get it all working.
Have a great day!
Just tried dialing that and it was like I was making a regular call

Is it a possible bug or something iffy with that boot cycle? (volume was on, calls have worked before on things I am running, and saw missed calls on Gmail)
Check and see if Sprint is updating the towers in your area. I couldn't receive phone calls for a couple of weeks until tower updates were finished, fortunately Sprint sent me an Airwave to help me receive phone calls in my home while tower upgrades were being finalized
