Yes, the activation service was down for a few hours. I believe it is back up now but there were disruptions in text today i noticed.
Looks like the txt is back up. But system is slow.
I cant send mms... it keeps saying multimedia messages not supported by network... anyone else?

Anyone else unable to send text messages? I just got this phone and I absolutely love it but I can't send texts. I can receive them though. I have been on the phone with sprint for an hour and they are now telling me to take it back and get a new one.

Try updating your profile? Try handcent?
update profile and prl from menu > settings > about phone > system updates
Did all of this multiple times.
did you port your number to google voice?
Are you using an Airave? I was unable to send any texts out at home but was able to anywhere else. Found out that the Airave was the cause so I shut it off for the time being and everything is working fine.
Call sprint and let them know. They will walk you through a refresh.

I have a bunch of dead spots in my apartment complex. Airave was able to get everything covered nicely.
same thing here. took about 30 minutes before it would start texting properly after activation
Had the same issue, I restarted my airave and it started working fine. Just unplug and plug back in.

I do have an Airave and that is the problem. When I got to work this morning everything is perfect. Stupid Airave!
This unfortunately happened to me. Apparently I had about 50 text messages that never sent (which explains why I didn't get some replies) since getting the phone on Friday. Well, my phone decided to send them all at 2 this morning. I had a few very upset people that I was texting them the most random things at such a terrible hour. I had previously updated my profile and all that good stuff, so hopefully this won't be an ongoing issue moving forward, otherwise I may be forced to reactive my Evo 3D.
I had the exact opposite issue yesterday. Was able to send but not receive any texts. I seemed to fix by itself towards the end of the day. Might be the local towers fixing something.
Airrave ...you mean MiFi right...same effect
Anyone who updated to the latest OTA (LI3) notice a huge delay when sending receiving text messages now? My wife's Sprint GS3 may take hours to receive SMS msgs. Sometimes they are instant, but last night, her sister texted her around 10pm and she didn't get it until 12:30am. This didn't happen until she got the OTA last week. Is there something I can do? I was going to uninstall Go Launcher and GoSMS Pro to see if it helped but she loves both apps and I don't see why they could be the culprit anyway. Unable to receive SMS msgs sounds like a Network issue to me?

I got a text Sunday morning that somebody had sent to me over a week prior.
Yesterday afternoon/evening, Sprint was having cell issues, at least in the Milwaukee. Data was working beautifully, but I wasn't getting calls (despite 3-4 bars of reception) and sent texts would occasionally elicit a "The message could not be delivered due to a temporary network setup error," response from some Sprint server somewhere.
Not sure if I should call Sprint Tech Support, Take it to a Sprint Store, or Take it in to Best Buy where she purchased it to have it looked at. I am just worried that if I take it in to a store to get fixed she will be without a phone for a few days while they take their sweet time working on it. Anyone have any experience with Sprint/Best Buy (Geek Squad) Tech Support and know how it works?
Also, I am not against Rooting. Both my Epic 4G and my 3VO were rooted, as well as her Photon, but I was really trying hard to not have to root either of our GS3's. But, perhaps rooting and reflashing back to stock and just not accepting the LI3 OTA will fix the issue?
Forgot to mention, one of our neighbors has an Airave at home and this is where the issues predominantly exist. Could the Airave have something to do with it? Maybe it's not playing nice with the latest LI3 Radio?
their was an outage thats why some messages were not going through.. all fixed now

I heard that the outage was in the Pacific Northwest. I am on the East Coast (Central NJ to be more specific). And data still works, it just seems to be SMS only that she is having issues with at home.
I keep getting repeat text messages all day long. they just keep coming. I used to be rooted, then went back to stock 100% its kinda annoying. anyone else have this happen?
Most of the time those issues are carrier related. Could be the person sending the texts carrier also.
It's a network,issue. Happening to my gf today too. Luckily my primary number is Google voice ao,hasn't been an issue for me.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Free mobile app
Huge issue apparently. http://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/34ypqh/when_will_tmo_fix_this/
Really sucks cause I communicate throught text 85% of the time.
I hate the Verizon message app, so I always used the samsung one, well I tried factory reset, cache,etc. The damn thing won't let me send group messages or send pics, any one else have this issue? It's driving me nuts, I use the group's reply for work and stuff. But it works in Verizon message app...
I can't answer your question as I did not like Samsung or Verizon's solution. I have used Textra for a long time and never have any problems.
I had this very same issue with my Verizon Note 8 and never figured out what caused it. If I would switch my sim from my Note 8 to my iPhone and back MMS would work briefly and then fail after a while. Verizon nor Samsung could help me, so I downloaded Textra and never looked back. Funny thing is when I first was dealing with this I couldn't find a single thread with any other owner reporting the issue now 4 months later I saw your post lol.
I just noticed that I'm having this exact issue as well. Re-flashed the entire stock Verizon firmware and still can't send MMS. I can receive but not send.
Is almost like it was sabotaged, so you had to use Verizon message app, I'll try textra, thanks for the help
Use Signal, I beg of you:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms :highfive:
I second signal. Absolutely no issues so far. Very reliable
Same issue that stock app just stopped sending mms. But have to use due to watch compatibility.. Help?
Is anyone else having a problem with the badge showing up when you got a message? Im not getting any number on the icon to indicate there are unread messages....
I've been having a problem with mms since updating to oreo. Never had a problem before that. But I'm also having issues with data during calls.
Is anyone experiencing issues receiving group messages from iPhone users?
No issue here on my 6 pro or my wife's 6. Could it be a carrier issue for you?
The reason I say that is my wife and I are in a mms group chat with family that has iphones but we're all on the same carrier
No issues on Google Fi, other than the annoying separate message every time someone reacts to a post.

I've tried 3 different carriers and sent my device back to Google with no luck. I can't receive MMS messages from two iphone users. No idea why.

No issues on T-Mo that I've noticed. I've received SMS/MMS from Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mo subscribers today.

I'm starting to think that this issue was somehow associated with my number. Originally I was on T-Mobile and ported my number to to Xfinity Mobile. Since the port, I've been having strange issues with group MMS messages. I feel like at this point I might have to get a new number.

It could be related, but it could also not be. I don't think it's specific to the device though, tbh.

I put my sim in another phone and I'm still having the same issue
I would try having the sim replaced before I get a new number
And are we talking about a delay or "never comes, not today, not tomorrow and not in a hundred years"?
If it's about the former, is your phone rooted? Do you have any battery saving apps? Did you tinker with any ADB commands?
If the SIM/your phone number itself is the culprit, that should be relatively easy to find out. Just put it into the phone of someone else (they can create a guest account) and see if that works.
I know my family (all iphone users) say that sometimes i (and other Android users) miss some of their texts. I blame Apple
I updated my plan last week and have not received group messages. I was on a chat with Verizon today for like 2 hrs because I ordered a new sim but it wouldn't activate so they activated then after about 45 minutes they were able to get my group messaging working. It seemed like they removed group messaging from my service then added it back and everything has been fine since. Good luck it was driving me crazy for the past 5 days
It's likely an issue with the sender's carrier. Once upon a time I absolutely would not receive any mms from any iPhone on at&t on time. They'd come in days late, and out of order. Made group texts a nightmare.
If you can, get your people to switch to Signal. It's like iMessage, but it works cross platform.

Thanks. I've tried putting the SIM in another phone and it's the same issue. I'm starting to think something went wrong during the port.

I've tried r mobile, Xfinity Mobile, and now I'm o AT&T. Are you able to get more info on what the steps the rep took?

I am not sure but I am still having problems intermittently. I'll get some texts then I may not get a text in between. I am just starting to think the Feb update broke something and hopefully it will be fixed with the march update.
