For a while now, I have been getting the notifications that I have an MMS message received. But when I go to retrieve it (through the notification dropdown) it just takes me to my messaging and it shows nothing new. Doesn't even show me who the message was from so I can maybe let them know I didn't get it.
Anyone else had this problem before or know how to fix it?
No one has approached me saying "hey, did u get my pic message" so it probably was just joke stuff that dint really matter, but it's still annoying not knowing what was sent. It's like the message just disappeared or something.
I remember it working just fine before rooting my phone 2 months ago.
I am currently running SuperD 1.93 but it has been happening since I first rooted, in which my first rom was CM 4.12.xxx
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Well, isn't a fix, but have you sat down with a friend and got them to text you to make sure? You might just be getting the random notification, but no actual text. I know if this was happening to me I would rather get a random notification rather than actually missing out on a text. Also, it would be nice to know which way to address this issue.

I had a friend text me "im about to send u a picture" and got the notification, but the pic never appeared so I do not believe it is a false notice. It doesnt happen often either.

I've never tried that, but I will now. But I have wiped and reflashed my roms plenty of times, wouldn't that clear all the data anyway?
Last time I wiped and reflashed was less than a week ago...

I would guess it would, who knows, I had a ghost Gmail for weeks...
Ok so clearing the message data did not help. I sat next to a friend trying to send me a pic and it would show "Unknown: MMS Received"....I'm so lost as to what to do
bumping this as I've tried lots of things, and get this error myself too. I can at least send picture messages again, but I still can't receive.
Have you called t-mobile? I had the same problem and I tried everything. Decided to give them a call just as a last option and it was on there end.
And since you just rooted and it's happened only since you rooted I would go over everything you did.
I've been having this problem for a few months now. I'm from holland and I already emailed my provider but the told me they can't help me.
So there are a few things happening:
My screen lights up but there's no message coming in. A few minutes (or hours) later I get the message that was supposed to be received at the time it lit up. Sometimes when I go to comm manager and turn the radio on and off or just soft reset the phone, I also receive the texts.
I send/receive messages when I start using the phone, like when you open a menu or something.
Sometimes I keep getting the same texts over and over again from the same person.
I've tried a few different ROMs so that can't be the problem.
Someone told me about flashing a new radio maybe that could do it?
Please help me??
Thanks!
Seems like the same problem as me
i'm also from the netherlands..
i hope someone knows a fix.
Hi, like the title says, whoever calls my phone basically gets sent straight to voicemail. On my side, the phone rings once and stops.
I have the latest NRG GTX ROM installed and hard reset the phone every time flash it. This probably has been happening since mid April and I have been flashing my phone since late December and had no problem until mid April.
I called AT&T and asked if they could help and they tried giving it different amount of rings before it goes to voicemail. That didn't work either... I have posted in the NRG forum and nobody could help, besides telling me to hard reset and Vol up+down, which didn't work either.
So... if anybody experienced the same problem as me that fixed it or have an idea on how to fix it, please respond! I need your help! THANKS!!
Its in the Call Forwarding settings.
Hi there.
The answer to your issue lies in the Call Forwarding settings.
Use Touchflo to go to @Settings' and hit 'All Settings' to enter the Windows menus. The following is in WM6.1 so maybe slightly different if you are using 6.5. Hit the 'Personal Tab' and select 'Phone'. Then select the 'Services' tab, highlight 'Call Forwarding' and then hit 'Get Settings...'.
You will then see a variety of settings and tock boxes that relate to call forwarding and in particular. In the drop-down box for 'Forward After:' change the value to something longer - like 30 seconds...hit ok, hit ok. Done
OMG! Thanks, left of centre. You saved me the trouble of returning the phone for a new one. Idiots at at&t should learn from guys like you that know whats going on. Much appreciated and thanks again for your help!!
Sorry for bringing this up from the dead but this was the only thread that was right on with the problem.
I have a captivate running perception and same problem.
I was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix or change the forwarding settings on this phone to prevent this exact problem?
Phone ring once and just vibrate.
I have the same problem with my xperia x10i. when someone calls me it rings once then just goes to vibrate mode...can someone help me fix this problem please Thank you in advance.
Can someone help me how come every so often I place press call after entering a number there can be a delay of 5 to 30 seconds where nothing happens. Or of I push the name of a recent call it has the same delay. If I push it many times sometimes it will continue placing new calls while I'm already called. I'm running Sprint 2.1 official. Thanks
you probably don't have very good service where you are, unless you deny that statement.
Only hit it once and you'll only make one call.
Sprint's rom is ridiculously slow and laggy.
More peopel could probably help you out with specific problems with sprint's rom on sprintforums.com or somewhere like that. NOT that we don't want to help, but problems often have different levels of depth, if you know what I mean. Or root and get ever CRAZIER problems and then stick around here!

thanks, but i think its the phone, because now when I click the green button the phone comes up immediately but nothing on the screen works. Its almost like clicking an image no beeps nothing.
Below is more detail of my problem
Can someone help me. How come every so often I try to place a call their is a long delay.
For example I will push the green call button to bring up the phone. Then I will click on a name from my recently used numbers and I will click the number I want to call and it will highlight then nothing. After 10 to 15 seconds does it vibrate and place the call and go to the screen with the timer and the end button. If I get impatient and keep pressing the number (selection goes green for a second) nothing happens for 10 to 15 seconds then the call is placed and it will continue dialing, holding, and conference call as I try to talk to that person.
This delay also happens when I dial a number, and the number keypad is slightly sluggish when dialing.
Please note I a running Sprint Official OS2.1 and even though the Phone Application is sluggish outside phone mode the device seems to run when when using other internet. I am also getting strong bars and EV.
I would really appreciate your help; I just got this phone 2 days ago and really like it, but this one fault is killing it for me.
Please Help me.
Thanks
please somebody help me other than that i really like this phone.

Since you are not rooted and not running a custom ROM, this is probably not the best place to ask for help. You should call Sprint directly or check out the website/forum listed above.....
This lag is common on this particular phone. Just look at all the threads about dialer lag. 2.1 made the dialer lag even worse IMO. A custom ROM may or may not fix it for you.
i'm run Aloysius and Darchdroid I have the lag too. I dont know the problem i just wait.
i run DC and its laggy too... i bet its the dialer app...
that huge delay in actually dialing the number is an issue with all of the ROM's based on the official 2.1 (and the last leak as well I believe). No idea why it happens, but I hope a dev manages to figure out how to fix it soon, because it's the biggest annoyance for me
lag everywhere
i agree, the dialing lag is very annoying. also I have issues when im using the web browser while trying to tap on the url bar or in a search field the phone just hangs and doesn't bring up the keyboard.
while my buddie is already looking at a web page or search results on his very responsive palm pre webos im stuck waiting swearing at my phone lol.
But given all the things you can do to androids compaired to webos ill take the lag.
It was so bad for me that I took my phone into a sprint store and showed them how f'ed up it was. They said that it was happening a lot...evidently they have an internal forum where these issues get posted and the tech I talked to at the store said he saw a ton of posts referencing this same issue. They told me, however, that my phone passed diagnostics and that I could make and receive calls, to which I responded, "sure, I can make calls, but it barely functions as a phone." They sent me on my way, and I figured that was that until I got a text 2 days later saying that my replacement phone was in.
When I went to pick it up, the store rep said, "We'll have to reload the update for you" and I told him not to bother. Whatever issues 1.5 had, they were better than the enourmous issues with 2.1. Of course, as soon as I got it home, I rooted it (the 2.1 root came out the next day) and had 2.1 running quick as a fox anyway.
I have had the same issue, but have discovered one important thing by looking at the logs and just observing... This does not happen when using WiFi. I have a log showing that this problem is related to turning the radio off in order to make the call. For those who do not know, this is unique to CDMA in that it cannot use both data and voice at the same time. For some reason it is taking forever to turn data off in order to make the call. This has been reported to Flipz and he is looking into it, but until then I guess you just have to put up with it or go back to a 1.5 rom.
For those to say that the problem doesn't exist on rooted phones or that he should go somewhere else is not giving any good advise.
I have been rooted for several months and never really had any problems with an extremely long delay until recently. . I know if I am rebooting my phone I have to wait a little bit to do anything, even after Sense has finished loading or i will have the same problem. I'm sure you were not rebooting your phone when this happened.
Here was my experience 2 days ago...
I tried making a call and pressed on the contacts name. It was just sitting there. After 20 seconds it still wasn't calling, so I pressed the name again and after 15 more seconds it began calling the person. And then it started dialing again. I hit End Call and attempted to do it again. I had the same problem. I then rebooted my phone and waited 5 minutes and tried again and had the same results. In between pressing the contact and the phone actually calling it just sat on the contact screen. I have had the same ROM running on my phone for 3 weeks and this was the first problem I had like this.
At first I thought it was with Sprint, but it should have atleast gone to the calling screen and said dialing if it was even attempting to call.
If you have had this problem was it just stuck on the dialer/contact screen or was it on the screen that says dialing/calling?
It gets stuck on the dialer/contact screen. I had this problem slightly with 1.5, but it is far worse in 2.1 including all official 2.1-based roms. The problem is present in all 2.1 based versions of Fresh and Fresh Toast.
I had this problem on every 2.1 ROM. It went away with Fresh Toast and the 710 Kernel. Now the most lagg I get on the dialer is between 1 or 2 seconds. Before it could be 10 seconds before the call placed. I am extremely happy with that overclocked ROM. Try it out if you want.
I have been having issues with my Hero lately, and going through the Tech Support/Store/Retention phone transfers has made me pretty pissed off. (I was hung up on by 2 supervisors, and I was not even talking to him angrily) I hope that one of you guys who I helped out at one point or another with anything could help me out with my phone issues and figure out where to go from here with my phone/account.
If you are a rep/tech from Sprint, I would really appreciate a reply or pm. Thanks in advance guys

Yeah the hanging up thing was weird, I was talking and then all of a sudden I hear a click and the dial tone after that. I called from my corded home phone to make sure I didn't lose signal.

I don't know when you worked for Sprint but we have a "release" button to drop calls. If we hit it, we get pulled up on a report and the call is listened to see why the release button was hit I WORK for sprint
Ok guys, nevermind. I am selling my Hero.

I'd be afraid to buy your phone if you've got such problems that you're willing to dump it because of them.
Inquiring minds want to know!
Well, it was more of me trying to get an EVO using the known problems of the Hero lol. My phone is great. my bad

Hey, I've got problems if any Sprint Techie would please listen to me!!! I've asked for help from a couple of developers and all I get is ignored and told, "Sorry dude."
Two weeks ago, I themed using MM instead of the usual signed zips. Since then, my phone completely freezes/black screen every single time I get an incoming call, requiring me to pull the battery and hard reboot. No buttons work/black frozen screen until I fully reboot. Everything else works perfectly except for incoming calls. I can't have this!
I pulled a logcat (found nothing), RUU'd, re-rooted, reflashed the ROM (Flipz 2.1d), wiped the SD, etc. Still happens and am now so ticked I'm about to auction this POS and get me the EVO too! I took it to a Corporate Sprint Store 25 miles away and after I had to show the morons where the 'on' button was on the Hero (yeah, seriously, I did), they told me I'd be without a phone til after 7/5 while they work on it, because of the holiday (I can't, I use my phone for work!!!).
All I themed was a revised rosie killing off the top-bar clock & battery signal meter, and another hiding the text under homepage apps.
WTH??? Could someone please, please help?

I don't think theming with metamorph could potentially harm your phone in a way that an RUU couldn't correct. Have you used an overclocked kernel or done anything that could potentially break your phone's hardware? If it happens when you receive an incoming call, I'd tend to think there's something going on with the cellular radio. Do you have any issues with data connection or receiving SMS? Any other issues at all?
Nope, absolutely no other issues at all. Data, SMS, all fine.

Does it happen EVERY time you get a call or with less frequency? Are you using a non-standard PRL? I suppose there could be 100000 different things making your phone do that, but I just don't see MM doing it.
Then again I've been wrong before.
No, when I have it plugged in on USB or straight charger, I'll occassionally get the incoming call. Not always, but occassionally. Once today it rang through, then I got 8 lock ups, all on incoming.
But when the phone is off the charger, I won't get the call at all. It completely locks & goes black even before I know there's an incoming call. I only find out when I check the phone or hear the BT shut off in my ear. Then I'm forced to pull the charge & reboot, only finding out 5-10 min later that I missed a call and have a VM message.
I had to call it myself to find out that it's locking down on all incoming calls, because at first I just thought it was doing random lock ups. But, no, it's only on incoming calls.
I've had some weirdness with incoming calls recently, but that's due to forcing my clock speeds way low when the screen is off with overclock widget.
If you successfully RUU your phone and you still can't receive calls, my money is that it's busted.
Anyone else have any ideas?
