Hey folks. So, I was running Calkulins EL 29 2.9.2 Gingerbread ROM. I have never had any problems sending and receiving MMS when Wifi is on. However, all of a sudden, it now fails to download or send when WiFi is turned on. I have to shut off Wifi to receive or send. This is a major inconvenience as everyone knows the Epic 4G Touch can tend to have a lazy 3g radio and will give up on big MMS pictures too easily, unlike some other smartphones i have owned.
I have wiped, flashed other ROMS and am having the same issue. Please note I did NOTHING, just woke up one morning and it completely stopped working. I didn't mess with dialer codes, ect. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I need to do? Do I need to do some dialer data resets? I have tried ##3282# however cannot find an option to do a restore settings or anything like that like I could on my Evo 3D. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Hey Paul. Gotta love Sprint .
I just had to do this because my phone calls kept going to voicemail. Reflash the modem and update your profile & prl. If that doesn't work, try reprovisioning the phone. I wrote this method up, follow it very closely... :

I appreciate this info, but unfortunately it did not let me send MMS with Wifi on. I wonder if Sprint did something behind the scenes that I cannot do anything about..

Has anything changed with your wifi? Also, have you had an opportunity to try a different wifi connection yet?

Not that I am aware, just tried the open hotspot across the yard and still no go. I wasnt able to do the MSID walkthrough, I am using PhantomHackers ICS rom, the code just didnt do anything in the dialer, but ##72876# or whatever it was did work.
I thought you were still on GB . Since you just flashed the phone anyway, why not just one click back to stock rooted to see what happens. I'm running out of suggestions btw LOL.

Oh, I was on GB when I wrote the thread, then I flashed some ICS afterwords to see if a wipe to something new would make a difference.
Ok last thought, have you tried a different app like handscent or gosms yet?

Same problem here with my and my wife's phones. Started today. Reprovisioning didn't fix it.

If I disconnect from 4G and wifi all is good again and I can send and receive MMS. Network problem?

I suppose it could be a sprint issue. Wouldn't be the first time.
Just curious, is it just mms & sms is ok?

Regular SMS is groovy. Weird, huh?
Check out this page in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527041&page=423
There are some suggestions there as well. I knew I had seen this but it's been a while since anyone has had this particular problem.
You are not alone my friend. Same annoying hiccup here. Mms send also acting shotty. Could be network. Not sure if sprints website/system going down earlier today has something to do with it. I went with my bro to local sprint store for upgrade earlier today, thats how I found out about sprints problems today.
Weird. It seems to be working again after like 200 reboots... That is, it's working on my stock rooted Photon. I'll check my wife's SGS2E4GT tomorrow AM and report back.
Something that strikes me as super weird: The proxy for MMS (##DATA#) is mms.sprintpcs.com. But it looks like Network Solutions has parked a temp site there as if the domain is expired. The whois looks fine. The port for the proxy is 80, the same as what my browser would try.
You guys arent alone....just happened to me to today...after 3 days of VERY weird/weak reception. My signal on EL29 modem would go up and down.. from full bars to absolutely NONE, and come back again. I dont know if its the freakin 'solar flares' that we have been experiencing.....cuz i remember sometime last year i had horrible reception when we had those solar flares again........
i'm having the same issues too but only noticed after flashing the wicked sensations & phantom ICS roms. reverted/restored back to calk's 2.9.1 el29 and it still doesn't work over wifi. i've tried rebooting & updating profile/prl with no luck. how do i fix this?
Same thing here and I changed nothing on my phone. Has to be a Sprint issue.

There are a bunch of reports of Sprint issues. I've had multiple denied sms and had to retry. My partner has a rooted Evo and he's having trouble placing phone calls. Someone else here reported a quirk in reported dns for the Sprint messaging server(s) and someone else reported using the SetDNS app to make changes and that seemed to improve their problem. Of course, the Sprint helpdesk is denying everything. Guess we'll have to wait it out.
This must be a Sprint issue for sure, mms is sending over wifi for me again.
mine still doesn't work of wifi
hi guys,
I have been a lurker for a while, didn't actually have anything meaningful to contribute (to create a new post/thread), i.e. until now!
Bought a galaxy nexus in April when Google started selling it on the Play store. I did not root it and/or modify it in anyway other than trying out a few apps I developed.
Given that background, 3G/HSPA data has not been working on the phone ever since I got and installed the Jelly Bean OTA update.
I thought I also had the Wifi issues that others are facing, but it turned out to be just a setting (Keep WiFi ON during sleep was set to NEVER by the JellyBean update, am pretty sure I didn't do it).
Do you guys have any clue as to what might be happening here? Any troubleshooting tips?
I am on the AT&T prepaid, data was fine until the JellyBean update. My friend with galaxy nexus also started having this problem post the OTA update, but he is AT&T post paid.
any insights???
thank you!
EDIT:
Also, I forgot to mention in my initial post ..
I get good signals and 3G or H also shows up next to the signal bars, but they are in grey.

I'm having this same problem to since upgrading to Jellybean... Have you called AT&T ? I'm furious as of now with them .I purchased a 50 dollar refill and they said it just doesn't work with a 4g phone and many different excuses was fine before updating.. I did notice it says Cingular in Apn now wich it didn't before..Have you found a solution yet..???

I didn't call AT&T because I know thats exactly how they are going to reply. If you didn't know it before, AT&T claims the $50 unlimited talk/text/web is unlimited web only for dumb phones but for smartphones you`ll need a separate data top-up. However, I have been using 3G with the same SIM card from November 2011. I had a Nokia N95 till April and then bought the galaxy nexus.....I didn't add the data top-up.
So at first when I started having this problem I thought AT&T finally started blocking 3G on the nexus, but later found out that my friend who is also on AT&T but on a post paid contract also has this same problem from the day he got JB OTA.
Unfortunately, I never went to Phone Information settings until after I got the JB update, so I do not know how it was before the OTA. .

Anyways, can any one help me. I updated to jelly bean OTA, and since then my LGOG does not like to send text messages out. My phone will not send messages shorter than 10-20 characters. Im in the CHICAGO area. No problem receiving them, just more often then not i get a failed sent. I have tried resetting the phone hard/soft. I took my phone into sprint and they said I need a new phone. Wtf! Anyone have this issue, or have any ideas to resolve this?
Im pretty disapointed right now, the phone was flawless before the update! Never had a single problem before. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE.. In conclusion,if anyone is interested, I believe the new jellybean update just doesn't play well with my towers in my area of Chicago. With the jelly bean update my voice signal was excellent, but the data signal was degraded. I always noticed, with ics while 4glte was connected, the voice signal was less. With jelly bean it seemed to be just the opposite at all times, great voice so so data connection. Only if i could have both and jellybean wtf?? Maybe someone could help me on here and explain a radio/jelly combo i would have best of both worlds.
Seems to be a Chicago issue.
**Either way I aquired LGNPST and original TOT file and reflashed the phone with original software and have not accepted the jellybean update for now.**
If you would like me to host the files needed PM me, I'll send you links.
I suposed I could have tried to reflash ZV9/ICS or ZV9 radios, but I bricked the phone before trying that.
I must have got the best phone out there. I've never had a problem with any software version we've had.

Rub it in why dont ya.... Well mine was the best android phone that i have owned. I never had a single issue before this.
I guess since i havent got any responses no one else has this issue. Is there anyway to reflash jellybean on my phone again?
Have you tried a ##72786# in the dialer? It will reprogram the phone. It won't erase anything.

I have not tried the ## but ill give it a shot. Sprint may have done that.
More on this issue, it seems just not to send short messages. Like lol, no, yes anything shorter than a sentence. I have noticed tht long texts send fine, and picture text seem lightning fast. Whch is great, but cant respond to someone with a simple yes or no. Wtf
I have also noticed a bigger delay between automatic switching between 3g and 4g. Before the update the switching was seamless.
I have also rooted and reflased the ota, same issue. I did not flash the radios seperate tho.
The ## did not fix my text issue. Sprint store did do this as well.
Still have this same issue anyone figure anything out? Anyone have anymore suggestions i can try? Sprint does something on their end, and restore the phone with ## and it works for an hour, then back to the same issue.
Peteyo, are you in Chicago? Maybe it's it's a network issue. I'm having the same problem and so is my buddy. I can't believe more people aren't coming forward with this if it's a national thing.
But let me know if you find a fix, and I'll do the same. And you're right, it only happens on short messages!
Im in Chicago and having the same issues, even with other messenger apps that use stock mms, I also use whats app and have no issues. They seem to be random some send and some don't. If there is a fix please post it is a pain .

***If you have this issue please call sprint, so they are aware of issue****
I have chalked it up to LG sucking! or I supose it could be sprint. The JB update they pushed changes the way the phone communicates with the towers. I grabbed bits and pieces from other threads with data problems and came to that conclusion. It doesn't appear to make issues with everyone, or have the same problems.
What i did, and what maybe the easiest is to reflash the phone back to its original form out of the box. Also im not accepting the ZVB/jelly bean update that messed up our phones. To return to original state, u must aquire LGSNPT, and Sprint`s original tot file. You can find these two in the developer sections. Its really easy and painless and get you right back where u need to be. The toughest part is putting your phone into download mode. vol+ vol- and power buttons.
Make sure u back up your pictures/things you may want to keep.
Option 2 you can **** around and try to find an ICS file, root your phone, and flash it back to ics. Or better yet root and flash ZV9 radios.
However im not sure if these will work. I have not been able to find ZV9 radios.
Option 3 if you have insurance get a new reman phone, or if no insurance pay sprint 50bucks for a reman phone. But you will still have the same issue if you update to ZVB/jellybean.
I wish I new more about this stuff and make a custom radio that has the voice improvements from ZVB/Jellybean, and the data from ICS/ZV9. Probably not even possible.

The strange part of all of this is that my text messages will always send if they are greater than about 10 to 20 characters. Anything smaller than that amount will give me a send failure. Has anyone else had that experience?
Data and Cell Reception have been stellar for myself since the update -- I believe I was having the texting issues before OTA (though I wasn't rooted at that point)

Don't you feel a greater level of sophistication when you have to type an entire sentence?
I'm sure it's Sprint trying to cut down on their SMS costs, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Funny! I guess I should have just added a bunch of quick messages that are complete sentences for a yes or no answers. And the lesser 4g reception does slow down my midget porn downloading. Maybe it really is a win win...

It has not been fixed yet, and I'm starting to believe it may never unless people start complaining more. I strongly encourage people to call sprint support often regarding this, if you would like to see it fixed. I have opened a couple cases with Sprint business support (corporate account here). If more people raise a stink, they have to do something!
Will do. Thanks for the quick reply:thumbup:

I know Sprint's network used to ignore texts that were sent to close together. Maybe custom roms send texts to quickly, causing the network to ignore the second one.

I don't have any issues with my Desire. Have you tried putting your SIM in a different device for a little while to see if the issue persists? It could be your provider.

I haven't tried that, though I have tried multiple sim cards from my current provider and the backup Nokia 521 I was using while the warrenty was being processed worked perfectly (well, the calls did... It has Windows 10 on it, so the rest was a bit glitchy, haha).
Anything else you can think of that I should try? I could get AT&T to unlock the phone (since I purchased it off contract) and try another carrier, but I'm not too interested in setting up another service just to test to see if it's the phone.

I do have exactly the same issue. I can make calls but cannot receive them. I've tried with both Skydragon v.2 and v.3 with stock kernel and with custom one v.004. I'm still investigating but so far not luck! Thanks.
Hey mstrblueskys, I had the same issue and after going to a long troubleshooting process with an AT&T representative, we figured out the issue. Hd voice service was causing this so they disabled it in my account and now I can receive calls without issues. How it helps you.
