Wasn't working at all for a couple days, today sms is working fine. Dallas, tx
[Epic 4G General] BBlunts456:
Just out of curiousity, what ROM are you running? I was on SRF 1.2, I wiped all data and caches and reflashed SRF 1.2 and everything is good now. People are responding to the texts I sent days ago.lol
[Epic 4G General] uscpsycho:
First line of the thread ;) "I'm running stock, unrooted Froyo 2.2."

What data and cache did you clear? I prefer not to wipe out all my SMS messages. Especially since there's no guarantee that'll fix anything.

I updated my PRL today, no surprise but that didn't help matters.

The user who works for Sprint says that as of last night there is a known technical problem here. Hopefully he'll update this thread when the problem's been fully resolved. Then I'll know if there's an issue with my handset.

Today it seems like every text reports as Failed but recipients are still getting them. But it's still a crapshoot when your phone tells you the text failed. I hate this...
[Epic 4G General] BBlunts456:
I didn't realize you were the OP til after I posted.lol

I wiped all cache and data in CWM(purple) and reflashed. I used MyBackup Pro before wiping and backed up my call log, mms, sms, etc. After reboot I restored everything, and all the texts that were stuck on "sending" were now all sent.
[Epic 4G General] Xiutehcuhtli:
I had this same problem when I first got my phone 4 months or so ago.

I found that for whatever reason I could send and receive messages if I turned the "Data Network Mode" off. 3G would not connect, but 4G would and all of my messages sent no problem.

I'm not a real network savvy guy, and I have no clue why I ever even considered doing it. Probably just messing with all of the phone settings to see what might happen, and it worked for me. Give it a shot.
[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:
I saw somewhere else that the official twitter app messes with the Epic as far as media an texting. I uninstalled it last month wen I had texting problem. I been texting fine ever since, even during the outtage I never knew about.

Sent from my non-rooted Epic 4G using the free XDA App
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
I'm sorry to hear that. But, from your responses, you can see that what I said earlier is true. The symptoms are sporadic; hence, it was working for you and then it failed again.

They haven't given us any updates today, but I'm wondering if any sporadic symptoms are restricted to regions now...

I say this because I dont think anybody came in today experiencing text message issues. However, the other techs did say that the issue is still present.

So maybe call a local branch near you? See if it's in your region only? They might give you a generic answer, but that's the problem with this: there's only so much Sprint can do. They already fixed the actual, physical issue. Clearing up all the backed up data is damn near out of their hands. It's akin to trying to get traffic cleared. The only solution is time.

I'm really sorry if that's not what you want to hear, but keep in mind I'm just a tech; I don't work for the network side so I don't know any of the specifics. Maybe there's a user on here who does
[Epic 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
I to am having HORRRRRRIBLE text message issues, first they dont send sometimes, then I literally get 5 of one text from a person, then they say they dont send and then I send the same text. Imagine trying to fix a relationship or keep one alive when you are receiving "you are lucky" or "you are lucky I am still your friend" OR sending a message TWICE that is riddled with sarcasm, the person then thinks that you are trying to make them feel twice as worse. FIX THIS CRAP!

On a side note. I really am experiencing these issues this situation is clearly hypothetical. :p
[Epic 4G General] uscpsycho:
I have no idea wha CWM(purple) is. Not sure why you bothered to clear cache/data if you were just going to reflash. Anyway, I don't think apps like MyBackup Pro work unless your device is rooted. I don't think it's possible to fully backup/restore unless you root.

Any suggestions on what I can clear on an unrooted phone that might help?

Anyone know of a way to FULLY (and I mean ***FULLY***) backup and restore a non-rooted phone so that I can try a factory reset and restore everything?

I don't care about my old failed texts at this point. I just want my future texts to go through. I'm not permanently turning my 3G off to get future texts to work. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Appreciate the follow up. I really doubt a local branch is going to have a clue. Those guys are usually pertty worthless IME. I'm in Los Angeles. Anyone else in LA area reading this? How's your texting working the last few days?

I was in Florida when the problem started on Saturday. Came back to LA on Monday and the problem hasn't gone away. Seriously a PITA.

Where abouts are you?

Exact problems I am having. I can't tell you how frustrating this is! And the situation you describe isn't far from the truth. I'm driving people crazy with multiple texts (often a "failed" text actually goes through). This issue is debilitating.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Well, we're not exactly useless lol. But in this regards, yes, it's an issue higher than us.

Just as a suggestion, have you thought about switching to IM'ng (like google talk) and email for a few days? I assume you send texts for business judging by what you've said, so I would think that most of the people you are texting have a smartphone. If so, then IMs and emails are just as convenient.

Not a solution of course, but a workaround for your problems.

Also one question; have you asked the people your texting if they've had their own problems as well? Maybe some of the fails aren't on your end, but their's. Just asking to pin down a possible regional explanation.

Sprint Problems

I am on my 4th day with texting and reception issues. I have 4 lines. I wonder if I can get a refund for those days. It's only right.

Tsp
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Possibly, it's not a bad idea. It never hurts to call customer care.

EDIT: and 4th day? It would only be the 3rd day since the outage. Unless your initial problem is unrelated? Are all 4 lines affected?
[Epic 4G General] tsperez:
Problems started Sunday. That's Sun thru Wed - four days. All 4 of the phones have the problem but the Epic 4G will text more often than the other lesser phones that I have. Had company over and both said they had problems also. We actually tested the phones while we were outside.

tsp
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
This doesn't pertain to the SMS failing, but recently in the past few months the data towers have been really terrible where I'm at. Supposedly they're texting WiMax here, but that shouldn't be the cause.

Half the time my phone can't stream pandora due to the lack of speeds.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
that's interesting. your problem on sunday is more than likely unrelated, however, as the two routing stations didnt go down until monday. so if customer care did decide to pro rate you, they probably wouldnt include sunday. i dont know, though, im not in sales i just fix phones ;)
[Epic 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
I live near Waukesha Wi.
[Epic 4G General] uscpsycho:
Nobody else is having the problems I'm having. If they were they'd be sympathetic, instead I'm just driving everyone (any myself) nuts.

My problems started SATURDAY and continue today. That's six days which is entirely too long. The problem isn't as bad today but I haven't texted much so hard to say that things are definitely better.

Off Topic - Is anyone else having trouble replying with multi-quote? I can select multiple posts to reply to, but when I hit the Post Reply button the text area is blank. Regular Quote works fine.

Problems

Just reporting that I and other Sprint users are still having problems today (Thursday night). I am located in south Texas.

tsp
[Epic 4G General] uscpsycho:
Ditto here. In L.A. I've continued to have sporadic problems with failed text messages throughout the day (Thursday). Better than the last five days but the problem has still NOT been fully resolved.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Sorry, but that post was in response to another user
[Epic 4G General] khaoskosmos:
Since I have owned my Epic 4G, I have had random failed texts (rare but annoying). I didn't even notice the outage here in Tampa (using 3g for better battery life). On all of my previous phones (Palm Pre, HTC Touch Pro, HTC Touch, RAZR lol) I never experienced a failed text. Only with the Epic. It also seems like once a text fails, others will too unless I deleted the failed texts first. All in all, I've had about 12 failed texts since I bought the Epic at launch.

On edit: My wife also has an Epic and has never had a failed text.
[Epic 4G General] uscpsycho:
Today is the 7th day of this hell and I'm back to square one where the vast majority of my texts are failing.

WTF?????

There has got to be way to make this stop. I can't go on like this with unreliable text messaging. What the hell is going on? UGH!
[Epic 4G General] tsperez:
I say we all go to the Sprint store (or call customer service) and demand refunds for the days with sub par service. I have 4 lines so it adds up.

It's a way to force them to address this problem in a better, faster way. What hardware or software problem can take a week to fix?

tsp
[Epic 4G General] uscpsycho:
Just to update, as of Saturday my texting problems seem to have gone away. It took an entire week but things are back to normal. That was a serious PITA if ever there was one.
[Epic 4G General] uscpsycho:
NOOOOOO!!!!!!

The problems are back today. I had a three day break and the failed text messages are back again.

What the heck is going on here? Is anyone else still having problems sending text messages? Is there another outage?

Sprint, this is out of control! :mad::mad::mad:

EDIT: Added a picture for those who want to see it first.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wildtouch:
Looks cool. I dig. I wonder if/when this will come as a regular update for non-rooted folks.

You don't have to be rooted. It's just an APK

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SHAKEJONES:
Save the file on your sd card then use an app like Super Manager or File Explorer to find it and install it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgotenxlegacyx:
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!, May i ask where you found this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AZKJS:
Much Nicer!

I never really had an issue with the market app even coming from apples app store :rolleyes:, but this just feels cleaner!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shinji257:
It's nice. I pushed it to my phone and had it replace the Vending.apk file in /system/app for my rom. It worked well. I didn't get any errors on the movies bit but it may wait until after the movies part is done to tell you that it doesn't work on root. Unless of course the changed that policy on movie rentals...

P.S. - I reverted to the old market. Didn't like the new one much.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sgiitk:
I am quite cheesed off by the new one. How do I revert?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ameedi600:
Just go to mannage applications and click on market. From there it should display an option that says uninstall updates. Just click on that and you should be good to go
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] droidxplorer:
I have this on my Nook. I like the old market better and don't need books, etc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] edoubledizzle:
why do guys not like it? its nice, clean, works the same way but just adds more features. just curious.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
It likes to not download apps I tell it to. i.e., click download "angry birds", says starting download forever.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prenedo:
Does the new market require WiFi connection for apps over a certain size? I can't download Adobe reader, which I've downloaded multiple times over 3g, on multiple ROMs, but can't get it to start over 3g. I'm on the newest MIUI build...

*edit- got it.... user error. Settings in the download app

Hi, just wondering, I'm currently Running starburst on my desire on the three UK network. Will the official gingerbread update run on my device?

Thanx In advance!
[Desire General] shankly1985:
So you are rooted and have starburst RoM installed? If so no dont ever update your phone unless you go back stock un-rooted.

If you want GB RoM try Droidzone's new Gingerburst RoM. Its android 2.3.3 and has sense 2.1 :)

Why wait on HTC, when we have these's great Dev right on this site.

Wall charger where you put your battery in and charge it?

I'v checked amazon/ebay searching for seperate charger who chargest batteries 'in it self' not in your phone, is there any actually? I was looking for LG Optimus 3D size battery charger, cuz I was thinking to buy 3500mAh or 1980mAh battery, but I'm kinda worried in case if they explode, since they are...well...ebay stuff?
[LG Optimus 3D] mad_sunday:
The wall chargers + 2 extra batteries worked very well for my last phone. I just got the same for my OD3 from eBay, they arrived yesterday. It is MUCH better than using the usb cable, and saves it getting worn out.

I got them here http://rover.ebay.co.uk/rover/1/711...amp;_osacat=0&amp;_trksid=p3911.c0.m270.l1313

[LG Optimus 3D] daGUCCI:
could you give specific link to whichj you bought, becouse there seems to be alot of them, is it: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Q590-2X-Batte...328?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35b1e4f6e0 this one? becouse, i'm not sure if it's that 'wall charger' what recharges batteries in itself or not?

edit: how long it took until arrive to uk?
[LG Optimus 3D] mad_sunday:
Yes thats the same as the one I have. You place the battery in the charger (make sure its hard over to the left side) and just put it in the mains outlet (you can't see the "legs" because they fold away inside the charger when not in use). Had one of the new batteries in today, seems to be as good as the original. I had the original in my pocket (I charged that in the new charger too, you must make sure the contacts are made or the charger stays blue, I had to push it in properly and the charger went red ie charging.) but didn't need it.

It arrived in about 5 (working) days, ie about a week.

android market 3.0.26

Was this market intended only for phones? I know it said 2.2 or higher, and another site said 2.2 and 2.3...but was it also intended for tablets? for 3.0?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I believe it was, although I'm not completely sure. If you own a tablet I would recommend trying it to be sure.

Also, movie rentals cannot be watched on rooted devices.

*updated/Fixed*

Hey all, So i am a long time lurker of this forum and also the Nexus One and G1 forum for a long time. So i am at work, and decided i wanted to update my nook SD install from the 6.1 date: 5/5 versions. So i downloaded the updated version, then proceeded to clear my SD card of the partitions and reformat to have a clean start. no when ever i try to write the .img of Dualboot Phiremod / Honeycomb, it tells me there isn't enough storage for the data. My SD card has 7.41 gb open and the file is only 3.5gb. Now this could be cause by the card reader in my work laptop, or any other factor, and as soon as i get home i will be trying the pc i used last time and for most of my rom writing. I have tried many image writers, partition erasers, etc so i don't believe those to be the problem. I also put the sd card on my mac mini and did a reformat there, and then moved back to pc to write...no dice. so i am in a spot where i am stuck until i get home, but thought i would get this up in case i did fix then i can post what i did to help other who may run into this problem. anyone have any ideas?

using Nook Color, Transcend 8gb Class 6 MicroSD.

formats were done on new Mac Mini, Thinkpad T410.

programs used: WinImage(although not good with it), Win32DiskImager, SDFormatter, EASEUS Partitioner, along with windows/mac built in tools.

I was running - ph-hc-dualboot-sd.img.zip version 6.1/HCv4

updating to - ph-hc-dualboot-sd-v0.2.img.zip - Phiremod 6.2 and Madcat's Honeycomb Hybrid-RC1

Again any help would be appreciated, but also if i figure this out i will be reposting my answer/fix. Sorry for the wall of text but i wanted to give all the details. Thanks!

*****UPDATE/FIX*****

So it turns out that some card readers must not handle the size of cards the same. I was able to write the image just fine once on an external SD card reader. So if you have some strange issues writing the image, try a different Card Reader.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Just wanted to confirm after testing that the new Market is working on both the MIUI and Cyanogen Roms.

Of course you can't watch videos [you can in fact rent, but not watch] on rooted devices.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
I can confirm it works on Gingerbread/Sense 3.0 ROMs.

Can you give a little more detail about what rooted phones aren't able to do related to videos?
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Yeah. Rooted phones can rent movies/videos but cannot watch them. And getting a refund will consist of filling out a refund form.

So if you're rooted don't even bother going through the hassle of trying to rent a movie.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Personally, that isn't something I care about, but that's lame. I wonder why being rooted prohibits that. :confused:
