Hi, I can't receive texts on my One V. It still happens if I do a full wipe, persists across all roms. Sending texts is fine, data is fine, calls are fine, so I don't know what's going on.
Any ideas?
most likely your APNs are incorrect.
check with your carrier AT&T for the correct ones and change them
I don't have at&t, that information isn't up to date.
Anyways, I fixed it. It involved having my account re-provisioned through customer support, and then flashing back to stock and running the app used to activate your phone. Let's hope I never have to do it again.
awesome

So this isn't Dinc specific but as at least half of the problem occurs on a dinc I thought I might as well post it here.
I just recently had a problem with one of my associates where we are unable to send/receive text messages from one another. I have turned on received reports in the default messaging app and all my texts say received by the recipient.
Both of us can receive and send texts to other people and calling between us still works. I have wiped my phone, and gone with a stock Virtuous 3.2 rom and it still doesn't work. They are on a blackberry, also on Verizon if that helps.
I think this has something to do with your associates phone. My girlfriend's phone does the same thing, she won't receive messages or sometimes even calls. She has the new blackberry curve on VZW. We tried *228'ing it and that didn't help so we took it to the store, it was swapped and now it works like a charm.
It's not your phone, especially if you wiped it clean. Trust me.
Had Evo since day 1. Rooted right away and have been ROM-happy, flashing my favorite as developers release them. Went from Fresh to Myn to MIUI and am now on my favorite, most stable and reliable rom: Deck v1.
Problem:
9 days after switching to Deck I stopped receiving sms messages completely. This is not an issue of the notifications for sms being turned off, nor is it a ringer issue. The text never comes through. I can send texts without issue, no problem.
Tried to fix this in these ways:
•*I made sure I wasn't blocking any texts; this can be done at sprint.com > my account.
• I called sprint so they could remove/re-add my sms messages which usually fixes this type of issue.
• I restored a nandroid backup taken at a point when texts were working.
• I tried restoring the stock image - then updating profile. Still wouldn't receive.
• Obviously rebooted 35 times throughout the course of all this (i have to say it, somebody will ask )
• Full wipe etc.
Nothing worked.
Called Sprint knowing they couldn't do a damn thing and would probably stop listening if they knew my phone was rooted. Long story short they sent me in to get a new Evo. Was worth a shot, I wasn't convinced it was a hardware issue (how could it be, sms is not dedicated to a particular piece of hardware in the phone) but I went in and did the swap.
New Evo, unrooted, texts worked! but wait, that's not all.
9 days after rooting again and installing Deck v1 - poof - no incoming texts. The exact same issue.
WTF is going on here?? There is nothing in logcat, absolutely nothing happens on my side when somebody sends me a text.
Google voice texts are a good emergency workaround but I want my native texts. Is this a deck issue?? anybody else getting this? i;ve ggogled for weeks now and nobody has come accross this particular issue. Also this issue wont fix itself. i went a almost a week the first time without noticing i wasn't getting texts.
Have you tried a ##786# reset? You will need your MSL code. Also, it will wipe all data from your phone, so take that into account. When you ##786#, let the list load and then hit "menu", and "reset".
When I first flashed to a GingerSense rom, I lost the ability to send/receive MMS and I was not able to connect to 3G at all. 4G and WiFi worked, but the 3G was nonexistent to my phone. After calling Sprint several times, one tech told me to reset my phone this way. I told him I would have to call back because if my phone was going to get wiped, I had to back everything up first and it would take a while. After I backed up all my app/data with Titanium and made a NAND back-up, I did it and it got my phone working right.
Hopefully you get the same result. Good luck.

Flashed back to a Sense/stock rom to do just that. Didn't help.
Whenever somebody has issues like mine it usually involves sending AND receiving. For me it's strictly receiving.
People also center these issues around MMS. Sending MMS is not an issue for me. I can send everything. I can't receive a damn thing.
That certainly is an oddity. I've been using decks 1.2 since C, and am currently on Z. I've never had any issues with not receiving sms messages (as far as I know...I suppose it would take someone to tell me that they sent me a message and I never replied, which I haven't got yet) I have never really seen this issue, except on my buddies stock hero a couple weeks. His problem was that he had never deleted any of his texts, so literally had like 10k messages or more in there. Once I was finally able to get all his damn messages cleared out (took forever...he wouldn't let me factory reset it) he was able to start receiving texts again. I'm sure that's not your problem, because you've been flashing and wiping, surely your texts have been cleared out...unless you restore them all. That's the only time I've seen that. I would've suggested maybe it was an issue on sprints end, which would not be unheard of, but if that was the case it wouldn't have worked on your new unrooted evo when you got it.
I saw in deck's thread that you already deleted the telephony.db directory, and that had no affect for you. I really wish I had some suggestions for you, but that is just odd. My first guess would've been a problem with sprint.
EDIT: Also, are you using the GV and Sprint integration? I don't use it, but I saw that if some settings weren't correct with that (from the google voice website) that all messages will go thru google voice, and not thru the native messaging app. Could that possibly have anything to do with it, maybe?
If you have Sprint/Google Voice integration, that is the problem. There are some funky things going on with Google Voice lately. Can't send messages from Gmail to a Google Voice number and have it register as a cell sms. The message is automatically sent to and only goes to the Google Voice Inbox.
I've had some sms trouble with all ROMs, not simply Deck's. It sounds identical to your issue. Google is the only constant between all ROMs. My problem was resolved by going into Google Voice settings, unchecking "Receive text messages on this phone," saving changes, then rechecking it and saving those changes.
I have lost the ability to receive sms numerous times. I am convinced it is a Google/Sprint integration issue.
I cant get text messages either. I can send all day and im testing, flashing roms, recoveries, I just unrooted as a final solution (so i thought) and nothing. Same crap. If anyone has a fix or if the fix is on another thread let me know please, thanks. Other wise im just gonna root back and say F! text messages
If you're on MIUI and didn't wipe, when you flashed it can cause these issues. Try to reflash, after doing a full wipe.
Searched for a similar problem and I wasn't able to find anything that matches what has been happening to my wife's EVO. Recently I installed CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143049
I also updated her to the latest radio/PRI/WiMAX/etc. versions when I did this. So that could also be the issue.
It seems that ever since I worked on her phone, she hasn't been able to receive emails, and she can't call or text me. I can't call her either. When she tries to call me, the phone vibrates and she hears the words "Enter the number you wish to dial, then press the pound key." When she enters my number, it says it can't understand. When I try calling her, it just doesn't connect at all and stops trying after about 30 seconds.
We're on the same Sprint family plan and I have an Epic 4G. Her sister, who is also on our family plan with a Samsung Moment, can call her just fine. Far as we can tell, it's only a problem between our two phones. So it might be a Sprint thing. But then again, she's not getting emails either, even though her data works fine for other purposes.
She's at work right now. When she comes home I am going to roll her back to the old radio, WiMAX, PRI, and NV versions (15.00.11.19, 27167 R01, and 1.90.003, respectively). If that doesn't work, I did make a nandroid backup from before I did anything. But her old ROM was kinda buggy (EViO 2, which was okay except it would randomly turn 4G on) and CM7 is supposed to be good.
Hopefully rolling back her radio versions will fix this; if not, is there something else I can do to fix it or prevent it from happening again if I install another ROM?
EDIT: Well, I fixed the email issue. That one was simple and silly - for whatever reason, her Google account was not set to automatically sync email. With that out of the way, I only had to worry about the phone call issue.
Her dad tried to call her several times yesterday and it would go straight to voicemail without her phone ringing. After rolling back her radio version, it seems to be working fine. Time will tell. Now the only issue is that Google Voice has decided to take over as the default SMS app, even though Handcent is set as the default. But that's a subject for a different thread.
I got my G3 today and everything seemed to work fine until I realized none of my texts were going through. Whether I use Verizon's junk Messages+, the stock sms app, or hangouts, none of my texts go through. However, phone calls work, and I even received a service text from Verizon. Any ideas? Same deal on both Dalvik and ART.

Double check your APN settings and/or give big red a ring. Possibly more of a network issue than a device issue.

Ended up working just fine about an hour later after activation. So I think you're right... Just had to wait it figure itself out.
Had the Same Problem
After installing my SIM and calling Verizon to initialize the phone number it took a good while for the SMS to start working. I was getting concerned and it eventually started working on its own. So, if you have a new Verizon phone you may need to wait a while after initializing for the SMS to start working. I think it was about half an hour for me, but I was messing with a lot of stuff with the phone so I may have a bad perception of how long it took.
So I have HTC One M8 HK edition, running the most recent viper one OS, I have straight talk service with correct apn settings, and everything is working great (except soundcloud app but that's their fault) data-wise except for mms sending specifically when wifi is on. I can have wifi on and send plain text messages and make calls and all that, but i have to turn the wifi off to get mms to send or else it just says unable to send because unknown or something akin to that. It's a minor inconvenience that can be simply worked around by manually turning wifi off every time i send or receive mms, but I'd wager that there is also a pretty simple fix for this. Straight talk was no help at all, saying they didn't know why, and that's just how it works, I'd have to do that every time and there was no way to fix it. I simply can't believe that without some proof. Anyone know how to fix?
Are you using Hangouts? If so, try sending MMS via the stock Messages app instead.
