Can't receive texts - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm running Team Sonic's most recent ROM and haven't had any problems with it until Sunday. As of Sunday afternoon I haven't been able to receive texts. I can send them out and people get them, but I can't get any incoming texts. I've called Sprint and even went to the Sprint store today but nothing helped. I was wondering if there was any way to get just the messaging app for that rom so I can reinstall it fresh and maybe that would work? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Try making a backup, then reflash the ROM and restore the data only?

Look it up.

Doubtful its a app, most of the time its a tower issue. Happens to me every now and then.
How do i know it's a tower issue? Using roam control i switch to roam only and it goes to verizon towers, texts send just fine.

Sprint activatoinFailed, help please!

So I was activating over chat, and the guy was lost and could not do it.
Online shows the phone under my number, but the phone keeps showing hands free activation and I can't activate it on the phone.
##72786# brings up hand free activation back but when I put my info on the S3 it says that its already activated on my account, which is true but its not working (so dumb). Updating PRL or anything else has also not worked.
I would call Sprint but they are now closed and my line does not work, so any help would be much appreciated.
(sorry about the title being messed up)
Do you own an airwave? If so try unpluging that and retry the handsfree activation. Also update prl and profile

Well, thank you guys for all of the replies, but the person I chatted with entered the wrong DEC number. He had to do ONE thing lol. Thanks CHAD. Wasted so much time and didn't have service this morning because of one stupid mistake. And it was over chat, couldn't even copy and paste.

Is there a Root / Rom that will not affect the WIFI calling features?

Not sure if I'm posting in the correct section.. but wanted to ask the experts if there is a ROM that will allow me to have the Hot Spot Feature with my business plan... but NOT effect the WIFI calling performance? It's an absolute must that I have a good consistent WIFI calling as I have ZERO reception at my home office!
Thank you for any advice or help!

PS. I know that the S3's were having major issues with the WIFI calling up until a couple of weeks ago.. I heard it was on TMobiles end however.
Yes.... Its in the wrong section... This belongs in the q & a thread

I could be wrong, but as long as your flashing a touchwiz Rom, you should expect the same, ideally better, performance as stock.

alright guys the thread has been reported for movement. no one else needs to tell him that it's in the wrong section the mods know. as to the question all touchwiz roms that are official port such as wicked,frosty and such all have the wifi calling feature. As to the root method
this one is for JB http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451
and this one is for ICS http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294522635
go to this thread it will explain how to do everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687

its not intended just for you, it causes more clean up for mods as well and that's why they put the report option so the thread wouldnt be filled to the brim with comments about it being in the wrong section and Flaming the OP.
on another note have you flashed any of the roms yet?
Just got back to the house... I plan on flashing probably later this evening or tomorrow morning. Do you happen to know if there is any backup that literally mirrors your phone image? IE Text Messages etc?
One more question if you dont mind... I noticed on the way home I would pickup up Edge and "G" on my GS3... assuming this is AT&T.. the only way the phone was able to even see the signal is when I made some adjustments in the Roaming / register with the network settings. Is there any Rom or Flash that will allow the phone to work on the AT&T towers? I noticed I wasnt able to actually place a call on the network ... or at least not consistently when the phone saw almost full bar AT&T.
Thanks for the heads up!

well when roaming all roms intended for a t mobile version will switch to at&t towers but if you want to be constantly on att towers you would have to switch over to att.
also if your on jb right and root then just flash another jb rom touchwiz of course the settings will carry over msgs and such. same goes for ICS but if you wipe during the flashing process all of those settings will be lost. the way i do now is im on cm 10,1 and when ever a update comes out now i just press update no wiping is done during the process.

Thanks again for the advice.. I'm downloading the recommended link that you sent me for Root 66. Which Rom do you recommend for best all around performance & keeping stock touch wiz so as to not screw up the WIFI calling feature?

roam control works but no sign on sprint

I rooted my phone recently and installed roam control. It seems to work as I get the triangle next to the reception bar once I put 'roam only'... I let my phone download about 170mb using 3g roam today to test it and that was around 11am. When I check my account now on sprint it shows no roam usage.
Any idea why?
Really want to make them dump me.

See file attached... This is an universal voicemail indicator for any network that uses standard notification, including Boost Mobile.

[Q] com.android.phone process has stopped working, calls keep dropping t-mobile s4

I am rooted with my s4 from t-mobile & running wicked v2.0 rom. Almost everytime I make a call, I get the com.android.phone process has stopped working preceded by a black screen. Anybody else have this issue? Is there anyway to get the phone system app as a download?
