Wife's s4 really acting up since installing the update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Since installing the update, whenever someone is trying to call her, it is very frequently getting a busy signal. Now she will intermittently get text messages. Please someone help!

Factory reset the phone and this stuff should go away.

It also might be the network.. They might be fixing one of the antennas near you which might be causing it to do that... It happened to me twice ..

You can block calls and texts from certain numbers through Sprints website.

It is the network. Her daughter is gonna have to make it stop on her end. Tell the daughter to make sure the message is not showing as not sent because it will keep trying to send it and saying it is not sent when it is. I have been having this issue with a friend it happening to us both and we live in different states but same sucky sprint network. HTH

Try clearing the data in the messaging app and force stop it. Then reboot, that should clear it up

Texting a pic while talking on the phone?

I just tried to send my buddy a pic while talking to him, and it wouldn't send until we hung up. Plain text went through just fine. Anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
I think most phones tend to disable the use of your mobile internet during a call, my S3 does. It's not a fault. It's just that pictures need to be uploaded before they can be received.
Thanks, I would have sworn I have done it before.
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
With AT&T you should still be able to use your mobile data while on a call. Verizon and sprint did not allow it (CDMA limitation) LTE is supposed to fix that issue for verizon and sprint though I believe. I'll see if I can try it on my ion sometime.
Works on At&t while in call. At&t has always allowed this.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
Hmmm. Doesn't work for me for some reason. I plan on reflashing again this weekend, maybe that will fix it, and some other minor issues I have.
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
It could simply be a phone setting. on my i777 when I'm sending anything and then get or make a call I get a data error until I hang up I never bothered trying to work it out its not a problem I see often as i don't try to call and text

Connecting my phone number back to the Sprint Network?

I can't connect to the the sprint network anymore. Everything else on my phone works. I can still surf the web (on WiFi), but I can't connect via 3G connection. I can't send text or make calls.
I've already called Sprint customer service, but they won't fix the problem because my phone is rooted. Is there anything that I can do to correct this issue?

I've already tried that. I don't think that my phone is even connected to the network. Thanks for responding.
Does that error out? Keep trying it... Sometime mine will fail 15 times, and then ill try it 20 mins later, and it'll work after 1 try.
Also, did you make an efs backup?

Can't send mms completely stock

I can't send any picture messages, I have a tmobile locked s3, not rooted or anything, please help. I've tried resetting the apn and everything, rebooting the phone etc.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Help!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Were you able to send mms before? Try sending while wifi is on and off.
It could be a network issue too. Does it say 4g in the status bar?
Call support to see if tgey have any problems on their end.
If not, you could backup all your data and factory reset. Other than that I'm not sure right off hand.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
I have 4g, full bars, I tried with and without Wi-Fi, tried resetting the apn, even though I didn't mess with it in the first place. I don't get it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Are you sending it with stock MMS app? And are you sure you can properly connect to the internet?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yes everything is stock, I have data because I'm using 4g to use Facebook, web, and currently this xda app.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
This is a total shot in the dark, so try if you want to.
Power off
Remove battery
Remove SIM
Replace SIM and battery
Reboot
I know it sounds strange. But stranger things have worked!
I still think calling support and finally factory resetting is your best option.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
I'll give that first part a shot, I really hope to avoid the second lol.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Well, it was worth a shot. Sorry I don't have a better idea right now.
Maybe Odin flash the stock firmware?
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Too bad I didn't see this sooner!
I have had that problem on 3 different occasions....
The simplest and always the only fix was:
Called my provider (T-Mobile)
Asked them to remove me from the network, and re insert me (my phone, that is)
Removed the battery, waited 3-5 min
re-installed the battery, and booted.
sent a mms picture to myself, and Got it!
no real work on my end. It seems the re-insertion to the network is the "Fix" that makes it work.
This why Doc said to call his provider. They should've done this if he called.
On the online chat with tmobile.. if course they want to make me try the hundred things I already tried..

3 support transfers and they had to create a ticket for the guys upstairs, could take up to 3 days...Wtf.

I'd call back and tell them exactly what you read from bobo above. Tell em you looked up the problem online and saw several places that said the same thing. Ask for a supervisor if they still won't try.

It's all fixed after they put in the order. I was at work while it got fixed.

@westkhalifa13 I had the same problem with my wifi dropping randomly until I turned off the "Auto switch networks" setting under wifi advanced settings. Haven't had the problem since! I assume with auto switch turned on the phone drops wifi to switch to the faster 4g/LTE.

My next device will be a GPE if it can at all be arranged. Meaning hardware better than the Note III (pen I don't care) and at least a 5.5" screen. Hopefully when the Note
IV launches, one of its competitors will do a Play Edition.
I kept getting random reboots. Turns out it was a defective phone since I haven't gotten a single reboot since I received the replacement and I've been running the same exact apps. But then again. my phone is completely stock.
