About 2 weeks ago my phone stopped receiving SMS on the reg. They are ranging anywhere between 20 min to 2 hours to receive. There is no delay when I send to people, just on the receive. I've flashed back to sense and did a PRL and Profile update then restored CM 7.1. Sprint just says it's due to high usage due to the weather...not buying it. Weirdest thing about it being my wife's phone has the same issue and it developed at the exact same time. Running cm7.1, clockwork and savagedzen 2.2.1 BFS HAVS on both. I've also tried flashing to tiamat 4.0.7-799 w/sbc and same issue. Up to any suggestions
Is the wife using an EVO? Try a different ROM combo for a few days and see if this helps. How about CM7-RC1 after a full wipe?
You'll find the sweet spot
Grab the app Gingerbread SMS Ghostly, has grabbed quite a few lost texts for me.

Tried ghostly. Didn't work. The messages seem to come through if I place a call. I've resorted to calling my voicemail to check my text lately. I'm using 7.1 rc1. I did flash sprint lovers rom and sent myself a text with no luck either. Are there any network settings with sense based rom that can be checked/modified?

You will probably have to call sprint and be cranky, as its most likely a network issue.
They've reset my data a few times now and claim they've done all they can. I had the call escalated the last time and nothing really came of it. Seems like when I call them with the issue the text come through within 2 minutes. They claim anywhere up to 30 min is considered not an issue. Its BS. Since cellphone met text it's been near instant. My crappy Nokia block phone did just fine. I could understand if there was a national emergency but there is no reason for any lag. Ill call them again tomorrow. My wife sent me a message at 753pm and it is currently 10, No message

Did u change/update PRLs around the same time this started happening? Sprint changed a bunch of PRLs recently and now some people get terrible data. PRLs are mostly location based. So due to contracts with other carriers, your phone may be connecting to different towers and data is routed differently. Try a different prl for the hell of it

no, hadnt made any changes to the phone. played around with a few prls and radios and no luck still. so far sprint has managed to give me $50 credit but no working phone.
I don't really know then man. Hmm. Try a data profile reset from the epst menu. ##3282# enter your msl, hit edit go to data profile and hit menu and then restore.
The phone will reboot itself and renew its data profile connection and prl etc all in one shot. Aside from that, I would think its a network type issue. Especially since its both of your phones.

Well...basically did that with my phone while on the phone with sprint last night. sat on the phone for 76 min (40 of that being on hold). I was using her phone to make the call. Got disconnected after all was said and done. Tried to call sprint back via 611 and automated message told me my account could not be authenticated or something to that nature. Long story short had to rerun activation using EPST reset. Her phone now works. Flashed it back to CM7.1 rc1 and hers is working correctly. Going to try to flash back to sense today on my phone and let it work its way through the reprogramming and I'll place a call or 2 from sense and wait a few before flashing back to CM. Thats the last thing i can really think to do.
On another note, I have found a temporary work-around on my issue for my phone. Google Voice has an option to intercept text messages. I turned that on and google voice gets them instantly. Only thing annoying is I dont have an SMS count anymore. ADW notifier will show a "?" on the icon for google voice. I guess that notification marker will do for now. Other than that, its a tolerable solution til i find the real one.
Sorry homey, I know it can be frustrating. But yeah try again with sense and see what happens. Best of luck.

I'm having the same issue, I didn't check this morning before I left Lakeland, but I'm near Lee and OBT and have no data on my Evo LTE. I am at least glad to see its not my ROM either.
:crying: im having the same issue. since i woke up about an hour ago ive noticed i have absolutely no data(west palm beach fl)... sprint has me on hold now
I spoke with Sprint and they said the network was down in Orlando and they are crediting my account for the down time.
Ok so it's not just me then but I'm calling to get my credit tho

Hearing stuff like this makes me wanna switch carriers.
Not sure if its just the carrier here. I've had this trouble on 2 different ROMs and the millisecond I wipe and re-flash I get data back. Some people have the same thing, others have not a clue in hell what were talking about.
Check your APN setting. Under setting- more setting- mobile network - APN.
What ROM are you on now?
If not call your carrier operator.

I don't have that option, task&ktoonsez aokp jellybean. Had problems on cm10 nightlies and this. This ROM is epic awesome but I can't not have data. I had stock ROM rooted on stock lf9 radio, never un-rooted and updated. Not a single problem for months. Put cm10 on and within the first week, no data. Re flashed, still none. Flashed all 4 radio versions, then lost phone service. Flashed aokp last Monday, good until I woke up this morning. Went to bed last night with 20mbps 4glte connection, phone never moved, woke up with no data. I can get 3g once every 2 hours or so at a bandwidth of .6kbps ( speed test certified).
Try calling your network operator. Or you can reflash stock firmware and see if problem persist.
But CM10 by default has a wrong APN setting (For me) and I just change according to the right one and it is perfect now.
But reflash stock.one and try.

My friend is having a lot of issue with data in NJ with sprint. Maybe the they are testing LTE which is causing issues?
Data is back. titanium backup of user apps+data, backed up the built in launcher to SD, wiped, flash, gapps. Data working and phone is like I never left. Going to use all of the dev logging and track what I do day to day to see what the hold up is here.
No idea then....

TO ALL!!!! this is a call to action. I too, like many others are experiencing unacceptable data speeds while on 3G and in great reception while using the Galaxy S III. the speeds I should be receiving are 1.5-3 MB/s but instead I am receiving around 128Kb/s in the city and within excellent service. We all have to pay a 'Premium Data Add-On' charges just to own these phones and this is unacceptable. Please write an Email to [email protected], vice president of customer experience at sprint and let him know what you are experiencing. Maybe if enough pissed off customers write, they will finally listen!
I've recently been having issues when calling certain numbers that my phone either starts ringing a few times then I get a busy signal or sometimes just a busy signl right away.
I know I'm not blocked from these numbers because one of the numbers is my gf and the other one of my close friends.
Now both my gf and friend have Sprint as well as myself. However, I can use my gf's phone to calll my number and she doesn't get a busy signal. And, if I call her phone from say a Verizon phone it rings normally.
This started happening very recently right before I upgraded to JB. I'm stock rooted.
Any ideas? I am thinking of calling Sprint to see if something is going on on there end.

Have you made any progress on this?
I have an EVO 4G LTE,, my wife has an EVO 3D - both stock and unrooted.
I can call anybody but her - I get a busy signal. -= maybe for the last 4 days, (Hurricane Sandy related?)
Anyone else can call her without a problem
I can call anyone else without a problem.
I can text her just fine.
On her phone, I blocked my number from calling her - when I did that, I went straight to her voicemail. When I unblocked it, back to the busy signal.
I deleted my contact from her phone and Google account - no change
I spent 20 min on phone with Sprint Tech support- we restarted both phones, reset voice services on both phones, pulled her battery - none of this did anything.
The rep told me to either hard reset her phone, or to go to a store with both phones.
So, I hard reset her phone. I logged into her google account and did nothing else.
I called her from my home phone - call went through. I called her from my EVO - call went through!!!
So, feeling cocky, I saved my number to her phone as a new contact. I called her again - BUSY SIGNAL.
I deleted myself from her contacts again - no change
I have hard reset her phone twice more tonight - both times I just got the busy signal.
Anybody else have any thoughts?

Im having the same issues when I call my wife's phone. I have Google Voice. Is that the problem?
Yes, had the exact same issue on my sgs2. Thought it was sprint, but after disabling Google voice the issue was resolved. I added it back about a month later with no issues.

Had this problem as well. Originally had evolte, sprint kept telling me it was network related. After two weeks I finally went to a corporate store and they ported my number to a different phone and called the numbers that where getting busy signals, and it worked. So they said it was my phone not the network. Sprint wanted to give me another evo, this would be my fourth evo, I decli ed and said I wanted a different phone, after much arguing sprint agreed to let me switch to the gs3. Came back two days later to pick up phone, after activating the phone I called the same numbers and STILL COULD NOT CALL THEM. Wtf. So they blamed google voice and said to try deleting it, if that did not work then call cust. Service. Deleting google voice did not work. So I called cust. Service they said after explaning what was going on cust.u Service said this was a known issue and did not know what was causing it and had no estimate when it would be fixed. She asked for the numbers that I got busy signals on and then offered a fourty dollar credit a month for four months. Wierd. Today I could call one of the numbers and it went thru. Havent checked the rest yet.

It is not google voice. Sprints network is the problem. They are aware of this. If you have problems call them and give them the numbers you cant call. My problem seemed to be fixed on sunday.

Sorry for the delayed response. I didn't see much going on with this thread for a while so I thought I was just having a isolated issue.
Turns out the issue is a common Google Voice issue atleast if you have integrated your Sprint and Google Voice number into one.
I got rid of my Google Voice integration and am now back to the "lite" version where you have your regular Sprint number and a separate Google Voice number and the problem has totally stopped.
The reason I say it's a common issue is because people are posting about this in the official Google Voice support forums.
I wish I would have checked there first because it would have saved me a lot aggravation.
Anyway, try un-integrating Google Voice and see if that helps.

Using Google light and separating the numbers did not work for me I even uninstalled Google Voice completely and it did not work it may be true that Google Voice is having issues as well but the current issue is a network issue at least it was for me as a previous poster said mine started working on Sunday at least I got a Samsung Galaxy 3 and a 40 dollar credit a month for 4 months out of the deal

I have an LG CDMA phone first 2days i received any call normally .
Yesterday when try to call it it say that number is busy?
any idea to solve it?
Hope to see xda community the biggest cellphone solutions community
It all started last night, my phone no longer connects to the Sprint network. When I try to make calls I get this error "The number or code you entered is incorrect" when someone calls me they get the same error. I have flashed a stock image through odin and its back on ICS but I get a SIM card error and the phone refuses to connect to Data. I am at a loss on what could have caused this but my phone is useless at this time and I am pretty pissed. My phone worked great no problem until I attempted to use Google Voice and that is when I lost Data and Voice function. I have removed my phone number from google, disabled GV and even changed my phone number but the problem still exists. If someone could shed some light on my problem I would greatly appreciate it!
PS: Sprint claims its a tower issue but my other devices work just fine.
Try ##72786# in the dialer. It'll force the phone to reactive everything

How is being rooted going to fix this?
I have gone 100% stock all the way to ICS. I then rooted, updated to MD4 including the radios and firmware. I have data now but still no calls or texting. I have edited the MDN and forced reactivation. They guy last night said it was a tower issue but I'm now 35 miles away and I highly doubt the same problem exists here. My girlfriends phone works no problems at all. It has to be an account issue but no one at Sprint cares to help...

Have you ever changed your number on sprint b4? Maybe it's a glitch on their end due to the number change just not settling in yet
I did about 2 years ago... all I can do is wait til they ooen and give them a call. I had to bring my girlfriends phone to work with me so I can check in with the office. Guess ill give them a ring in a few. Its just odd that data works without an issue. ..

If your data is working fine then I have to call it their issue for sure. Which would make sense as data could be working based off of account info rather than your number. Where as if you make a call your actual # comes into play. Could be wrong here just a theory. But best of luck I'll post if I think of something else but I bet u this fixes itself
Ill keep ya posted, thanks for your help.

Glad it's working and for future reference I found this looking on sprints site.
"Looking at the tower nearest you it appears to be performing properly When a tower goes down you will not hear any error message.* The message* is a function of the switch where the wireless system connects to the wire system.** Do you get the message with every number you call or just some numbers?* Can you call (888)-546-0314* That is a sprint test number."
I have gone thru 2 sim cards, 2 SM-N910A with similar results.
In settings, call, additional settings, it comes up with Network or SIM card error. AT&T has replaced two sim card, one a micro sim, one a nano sim with adapter.
From the keypad, **21*808551999# the error message as attach
The AT&T associate spent an hour with the advanced tech support to no avail.
I have a Nexus 6 and I can access all the above function, so my account is provisioned properly and I'm post paid
Did you ever find a solution? I'm having the same problem.
It's something to do with the phone, as you seem to be aware of, I had a customer come in who wanted to forward his note 4 to his gear s, the same issue happened, from what I can gather it seems to just be an issue with the call app itself, a fix I read but never go to try was taking a sim card from a known working phone that has call forwarding on and inserting it into the unworking phone.
Try stopping the phone app and clear all data. I got a new sim card and then did that and my call forwarding worked. YMMV
I have the same problem. I called tech support today and the lady I talked to didn't even know that the gear app could auto forward you calls. She said she would set it up for me on her end. Not what I wanted. I want this 2 high end devices to perform the way they are suppose to before att got there hands on it.
So what I did was, I pulled out my Note 3. Updated to latest FireKat Rom and problem solved.
My note 4 and gear s worked perfectly when I first got them. THEN WE GOT AN UPDATE--------THE ONLY UPDATE.
That's when I first started having this problem.
Not only do we not have root, but now it isn't doing the cool things it should. I'm sorry for the long winded ***** but I shouldn't have to wait for the chance of a possible maybe sometime in the future if everything goes right update that may or may not correct this problem and could possibly inject more issues. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I came across this post:
This is a problem with AT&T. I'm running 4.4.4 Android on a new Note 4 and discovered that Google Voice wouldn't run on the phone. I suspect the issue is tied to AT&T's implementation of their Visual Voicemail.
After spending a few calls with AT&T Tech Support, I was able to get my Google Voice to work by using the Call Forwarding Settings of "Forward When Busy", "Forward When Unavailable", and "Forward When Unreachable" to be set to my Google Voice number. The problem is that the Note 4 has the bug you mention. It's not possible for the user to access the settings on the phone without getting the "Network or SIM card error" message.
AT&T Tech Support can manually configure these settings, but this will only help if you don't change the settings often because a call to AT&T is required. I'm hoping they fix this bug in the Lollipop build.
Be careful when calling AT&T Tech Support, the first two times I called, the Tech Support Agent had no idea that this type of Call Forwarding Settings were configurable.
For the 3rd try at calling them, I got someone more knowledgeable who first reset my voicemail to "Basic Voicemail". This is done in the AT&T system, not on the individual phone. Once that had been done, I then had to "activate" the Basic Voicemail by configuring my box. As soon as that was done, the AT&T rep was able to go into the AT&T system and manually configure the three Call Forwarding options that I wanted.
It was a huge pain to go through, especially because all I wanted to do was use Google Voice which has worked on AT&T Samsung phones going back to my first Galaxy SII.
My phone still shows the "Network or SIM card Error" whenever I try to access the Call Forwarding Settings, but at least I was able to get the Call Forwarding configured for my Google Voice to work again.
I don't know if this info helps you out, but I wanted to pass it along.
Went back to AT&T yesterday, this time armed with my Nexus 6. Got a nano sim. Nexus 6 call forwarding function work. Working sim into Note 4. same crap happens.
I just check again this morning, and my Note 3 is working flawlessly. Gear app autofowards my calls as it should and advanced call settings does not show error message. I believe it's a problem with the Note 4 not able to register it's self with the network. If I use another phone it registers fine, call forwarding work as does tethering hot spot. If I try my Note 4 neither wants to work. When I call att they can fix my tethering hot spot but can't fix forwarding. My Note 3 just works by its self without having to do anything such as clear app data or anything with I have tried along with phone reset multiple times. I'm going to use my Note 3 for a while.

Tethering should work unless you have unlimited data, all mobile share plans from att include thethering, also you can pre-order the s6 on Friday, if I remember what our new Sammy rep was talking to me about, got to play with it for 30 seconds before a customer walked in, the ui is nice and smooth and the new octa exynos chip is suppose to run cooler and it seemed, just for ui scrolling, to sail through it all. I like the look and feel, I want it......
Edit: keep in mind that you'll be in the same position you are now as far as root and unlocked bootloader, if you want these things wait to see who sells the phone unlocked then buy it at full retail and use it on your account. I work for att, I know even the nexus 6, the most close to stock phone we sell has bloat ware and is locked down tight. If I get the s6 it's out right and unlocked.
Yes I agree. It should work. If I switch my sim to another phone it works just fine. Everything works as it should, but if I put my sim back in my Note 4 in phone settings advanced settings I get an simcard or network error and call forwarding does not work. Also tethering will fail telling me to call 611 or visit website to register device for tethering. Gear app will fail to forward calls also and I have had problems with network data. If you Google this problem it is a problem with note 4. Some people on the att forums are just hoping for an update soon. That's is not acceptable to me. It worked when I bought the phone then there was an update that was pushed to my phone and now my phone is turned off and I'm using my Note 3. So by the time this gets resolved and I can enjoy my phone it will be old in the world of phone technology. So why should I keep it, hoping it will be updated sometime in the near future which keeps getting pushed back for some unknown to me reason. Don't get me wrong. I love my Note 4 but I want it to work now.

Everything works as it should, but if I put my sim back in my Note 4 in phone settings advanced settings I get an simcard or network error and call forwarding does not work. Also tethering will fail telling me to call 611 or visit website to register device for tethering. Gear app will fail to forward calls also and I have had problems with network data. If you Google this problem it is a problem with note 4. Some people on the att forums are just hoping for an update soon. That's is not acceptable to me. It worked when I bought the phone then there was an update that was pushed to my phone and now my phone is turned off and I'm using my Note 3. So by the time this gets resolved and I can enjoy my phone it will be old in the world of phone technology. So why should I keep it, hoping it will be updated sometime in the near future which keeps getting pushed back for some unknown to me reason. Don't get me wrong. I love my Note 4 but I want it to work now.

The S6 Edge does look nice though.

I know you tried , the dialer codes.
always call forward setting , **21*808551999# (did you make sure it is 10digits? should be , **21*1808551999# if you are in the us. it might be worth a try.
conditional call forwarding **004*1808551999# (busy, rejected, missed calls)

sorry, there's one digit missing in my original post
should have been +18085519959
There's definitely something wrong with how AT&T network supporting this phone. I have no problem with my Nexus 6. It's very frustrating but it's something I have to live with if I want to keep using this phone.
Anyways, thanks for trying to help.

The upgrade fixed the problem for me. I didn't change anything else besides the OTA update.

only thing I have not done is "wipe data/factory reset" from the recovery mode. I'll see if I can back up my data on ODIN

Weird that would have been one of the first things I did.. Assumed you already went that way.. If after all this it doesn't work it seems you may have a defective device and should bring it up with samsung or att for an exchange...

I did the "wipe data/factory reset" from recovery and its still the same. You maybe right that the device is defective and since its more than 30 days, either I'll call Samsung for a replacement or claim insurance, however, by looking at AT&T community forum thread, I read that it all worked with N910AUCU1ANIE firmware, when AT&T updated that firmware, all hell broke loose. I'll see if I can have Samsung replace it.
