I just picked up my vivid on tuesday. I have been having issues ever since I got it with being able to successfully send texts. They just hang forever in the thread with a "pending" status.
Originally, i was worried this was a rom issue. I've tried every ROM.... Same issue with every single one. I relocked bootloader and went back to stock, and had some luck, but only about 18 hours before I started experiencing issues again.
Has anyone else experienced this with their vivid? Rooted, or otherwise. I'm about to take this thing back and go back to my Inspire. This is getting real old, real quick.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

I have not experienced it, it sounds like it may be an APN issue though, did you experience the same issue with your stock rom?
Yes I see this every time I flash a new Rom , just when I restore the apn setting it starts to work again.

yep. i've tried every possible apn setting. even older ones that are only for hspda+. nothing works. i can't say i was on the stock rom long enough to text, but i did relock the bootloader, and reapply the ship rom for att, and experienced the same issue.
i'm going today to get a replacement device. hopefully it's just a shoddy one.
goodbye vivid.
well, after less than a week, and two vivids....i'm done with this device. both of them refuse to send texts after approximately 10-12 hours. as much as i hate to leave the htc brand [and despise the blue tone of samsung devices], i have to go to the skyrocket due to it's comparable hardware.
i'm pissed....i was super excited about the vivid, but it has been a severely disappointing, aggravating experience overall.
I had an issue twice before, one was a problem with the sim and the other was the mistake of putting my sim in an iPhone where it would only send as an imessage

Ive been having the same issue since I got the phone in November.
The only way I can get messages to send (sometimes) is to restart the phone, then they send in bulk.
I have done the following:
-factory reset
-tried stock/custom rom (HoliRaider, RumRaider)
-had the phone replaced (2x because Rogers is rather stupid)
-tried the SIM in another phone (X10) and it works 100%
-tried SIM in a 'floor model' Raider at the Rogers store, worked (only had the SIM in for 10 mins)
-factory reset (again)
-tried on all the variants of network (Auto, WCDMA, GSM) no change
I have asked a few times if trying a new SIM would be worth it, tech keeps saying no...
Needless to say I have my Raider on Kijiji trying to sell/trade for a SGSII.
Love HTC but i need to be able to send SMS.
So it sounds like the sim is the issue if you used a floor model sim and it was fine , so demand a new one?

Guys by any chance you have phonelocator pro install on your phone? If so that's the problem there. As soon as send a text to locate the phone my wife's messages stops sending until you restart the phone I contacted the dev with no help from him.
Edit - BTW The problem could be cause by any apps that intercept sms like any Messaging replacement app ect but I'm not %100 sure is anyone of those apps but Phonelocator pro from the market.

this started happeningto me because i had WMD (whers my droid) on my phone, as soon i removed it and delete the pending texts and rebooted, text started to work again.
I tested it again a few days after by re-installing WMD and same results.
So if you happen to have any text based GPS locators it might be the issue.
A different sim worked for me too because the number changed and the text failed to send. it was WMD and i asked the dev and he was no help and said uninstall my program i can't do anything for you.

Hi, I have been trying to research m problem before having to post a thread, but I havent had any luck.
This morning, I updated m HTC tilt 2 (at&t version) with the new upgrade available on the HTC site. The upgrade went well, however, since i have done it, i have been unable to send or receive text messages, the first few messages i sent said they went through but the other party did not get them, after the 1st 2 or 3, it just tells me now UNABLE TO SENT TEXT MESSAGE.... I am using this phone unlocked on the telus network, and have been for 2 months now. I was sending and receiving messages without a problem before the upgrade. Could someone please help me if you have an idea of what could be causing the problem, I really need my text service working. I have been trying to find the original At&t ship rom, the one that was on my phone before, and cant find it anywhere, not even HTC site. Could someone post the rom?
I really appreciate any help, I am going crazy here, lol
well, i just received 2 messages sent to me a few minutes ago, then tried to repl to one and it still said Cannot send text message. I have sent 2 from the telus site to my number , so far i got one. Also, i notice the signal bars are not that high since i changed the rom....
o.k, sorr to keep adding to this thread, but for some reason, now my texts send but i dont get a reply. when i send one to myself i dont receive it, but i just sent two out and it said sent with success, but still havent received the one i sent to myself. gonna try again to send one from telus site, but i still havent received the 2nd one i sent from telus site...
Well, just realized the problem is with telus. Sorry for the post, i should have checked with them first but it happened at the same time i did the upgrade... However, I would still like to re-load the original ROM , if someone has it can you please post it. Since the new rom, my screen wont rotate anymore, even with the app changescreen enabled.

Hey guys. Four days ago I bought a brand new LG Optimus Optimus 2X. Everything seemed to be good, but after a couple of hours the phone asked for pin code. I entered it and I didn't think much about it until I noticed that I didn't receive any calls or text messages. Tried to call out/send text messages but it didn't work.
I rebooted phone and things worked as usual again. This occurs about 6 times a day, and reboot is the only way to fix it. I went back to the store and told them about the problem. They gave me a new LGP990, but the same problem happen with the new phone I got. I didn't install any applications, and I even did a factory restore with the same result.
I thought it could be the batch the store got, but they had sold several other phones of the same batch and no problems was reported by the customers. Could it be my google account/a contact or something corrupting the OS?

Don't think so. contact your service provider and suggest that you would like to replace the SIM card. It might help if new device didnt...
They should be able to send you a new SIM and activate your services on it for free.

It's a reasonable explenation, but I find it a little strange, since the SIM card is about 2 weeks old, and it works completely fine in a different phone, but hey. I'll try out with another SIM card.
Your problema is another variant of random reboots. Welcome to the club ;-)
I've it too more or less.
Regards!
Me too

Does that mean your phone is cured, or just almost? Anyways. Do you have a good walkthrough/tutorial about how to upgrade baseband to 502?
I used the guide at madaco. Well it havent had it asking for pin-code with the madaco 18b2 and cm7 is also stable, or so they say

Hm. I think I might wait for an update. I'm a little afraid that I'm gonna **** it up. Don't want my phone bricked, and I'm a newbie to android-flashing.
I flashed to cyanogenmod 7 and the pin prompt have still not appeared. I will get back to you in a couple of days when I've tested it more.
Edit: I was wrong. Problem still occurs on c7.
Edit2: I think it might have gotten a little better. It happens maybe 2-3 times per day now. So it might have helped.
Edit3: Flashed baseband to 1035.21_20110502. Exited to see how this works.
Edit4: Got a pin prompt 5 hours after flashing baseband. Waiting for an update from LG or clever answer then.
I made a new discovery. This seems to appear when I have bad reception. When I have no reception this happens ALL the time. Like several times per minute. So I really don't know what to do now.
I bought my Incredible S with 2.2 Froyo.
Recently I upgraded to 2.3.3 gingerbread OTA update.
After the update most of the calls have being dropped if there is less coverage.
sometimes even if there is full coverage, when I answer the call the signal will drop by 60-70%
anyone having the same issue..?
Nope, but it might be time to S-OFF and Root your device so you can try different radios/basebands for better coverage.
This might nit help at all, but after I updated my incredible s to the latest update and had some problems when calling others.
HTC's answer for all problems caused by the update is to turn off your phone and unplug your battery for a min or two, and if that doesn't help you should factory reset.
Surprisingly I don't have any more problems with calls and such stuff after unplugging my battery for a minute!
And since the antenna is in the battery cover thing (backside of the phone) you might be covering it with your hand? Some users have reported that they lose signal strength on 3g network when they cover the antenna.
Might be worth to try before voiding your warranty?

Seems like a strange solution. I'll give it a try. Radios have been a real source of frustration on an otherwise great phone

Interestingly, I had to send the phone to the service center 4 times to no avail post which I asked for a replacement.
after using the replacement for 2 days, I see that the problem still persists. I am just about to write an email to HTC asking that they take back the phone and refund my money.
Don't think I'm interested in yet another replacement. Has anyone faced similar issues with other HTC phones say the sensation or the HD7... those might be my choices unless I can get myself to wait for the HTC titan
same thing happens to me three or four times a day original ota 2.3.3 call holds after 2 seconds it is unknowing ...
I have an HTC ONE m7 that is about a year old and is rooted and running omni rom. It has been rooted for about 6 months and I had been running cyanogonmod and everything was running fine until last week when I got the dreaded sim card error. a restart of the phone did the trick. 2 days later it happened again and this time a restart did not work and my phone was out of commission for about 4 hours as I tried everything to fix it (including a full wipe of cyanogen and a fresh install with omni rom) with no success. Then one random time I restarted it popped back up and everything was fine. Now over the last few days it keeps giving me the sim error and only goes away after random amounts of time and restarts. If the error does go away and I have service. I get 4g LTE for about 10 minutes before I lose the ability to make any calls/texts or have any data connectivity. I have tried the scotch tape trick with no success as well as changing my APN. I'm sadly starting to think this may be a hardware issue.
Any thoughts??
Sounds like it. If it's still under warranty I'd be returning it to stock and sending it for repair

It's out of warranty so I'm open to any and all suggestions before biting the bullet and buying a new device..
A simple "yes" or "no" and where you are located should suffice.
Spent a total of 5 hours with Sprint between the phone and corporate stores since the first day this came out and today I was finally told the truth that all Sprint HK M8 owners are facing data issues.
To be specific(D.C. is a spark area) Every 15 minutes or so, my data/voice will drop regardless of what I am doing and pick back up anywhere between 1x and lte/spark 3-4 minutes later like clock work.
The lady at the corporate store let me see how my phone was in the red(see last pic). I went back to stock unrooted. Downloaded the .15 update. Updated profiles, PRLs, ##72786# data resets constantly and this problem still exists. The best that any representative could do is credit me $30 for my troubles(bull ****). Tried to get a replacement handset and they told me no. No one has given me any sort of "this will be fixed soon". Its always "well.....profile/prl/data updates cant fix this so a technician will look at your local tower"
I'm trying to get a rough estimate as to how many people are having the same problems
Here are pics for reference. This all happened with in 2 hours and continues to happen

Don't be surprised if you see this on other forums. Kind of going every where to see how many are having issues.
It's your phone. You need a replacement. I had the same issues, went into a store. They replaced my phone. No more issues.

That was my problem. They said they wouldnt swap phones because its not the phone's fault.
Im having the same issues but only when connected to my airrave.
No,
I did encounter issues when I first got my phone......... but did a system update the first day and all issues seem to be fixed ..this update does note that it corrects this type of problem .. on my phone anyway

Might want to have them check the SIM Card Reader. When I brought mine in after having the phone for a week, they told me that the issue were a result of the reader being busted. They replaced my phone right away with no issues since I only had it for a week. From what I hear is that the longer you've had the phone, the less likely Sprint will replace it though.
I'm heading over to the store again today to have them actually look at it.
They finally acknowledged that it is a handset problem. After looking at the service trends again I was red in voice and device was grey(don't know what that means). Crossing fingers that this fixes the issue but also Hoping that this isn't the only solution as it sounds costly

Grey means not enough data collected yet to determine anything.
I'm having bad issues as well as everyone else I personally sold HK and Non HK M8 too something is not right.. I'm to scared to order myself a replacement and not be able to achieve S-Off on it.. But I could buy the 25 dollar app to get it. Anyway Ive asked about these issues no response worth talking about. Hope to solve this soon guys...
Just got an HKE no problems here. I actually get better signal and speeds than on my Note 3. No Spark just LTE

It's a damn shame. Flew through Milwaukee, Vegas, Reno, and am in lake Tahoe on vacation and it's the same **** everywhere.
Flash the roam only mod then the Verizon prl. I'm getting better signal now then when I was with Verizon. I also have an hk m8 btw.
Received my replacement at 11am(EST) this morning and have had zero drops or issues since then. Been at full service in Spark since then.
Will update this thread in a few days with my findings.
Sucks because I am afraid to root/s-off because everything is working but I miss my backups of apps(Ti Backup) that I have been working on for years and hate these damn ads and bloat ware.
Im in the same boat waiting on my replacement tommorow. Im looking at it this way. Make sure you have the latest firmware and there should be no difference. I guessing bad antennas in some and some are just lucky and got a good one. Maybe start a thread Rooted vs Non rooted with signal quality and maybe we can answer our own question?
I have been holding off a Sprint visit for weeks, but after getting voicemails without getting phone calls on numerous occasions, I will have to go to Sprint.
However, after completely unrooting my phone in preparation to go to Sprint, I might not root my replacement whenever I decide to go there.
HTC Backup is excellent, in my opinion, and it really helps we with my lack of Titanium Backup. I don't like the ads either, but I think that it might be time to throw in the towel on rooting my phone. I've gotten more than my share of rom flashes and whatnot.
I was given a replacement due to my original having a bad antenna. Ive had zero issues since getting my new phone

I just as got my second one In less then a week and it keeps showing data connection error or some like that
If you're having trouble with your HTC One M8 download the latest latest network performance test tool.
"dl3 . htc . com/us/sprint/network_performance_test_tool_v0.85.zip" <=== Official website I cant post link currently so remove spaces.
If you get a red screen with NG device you need a replacement. It's a known device problem so charges will be waived.
New radio seems to fix problems
I was having tons of data connection issues with my M8. I recently followed the posts on doing the recent firmware update (OTA for those of you not rooted) and it includes a radio update. The new radio seems to be working quite well and I haven't had any connection issues. Hopefully this works for you guys too.
Amsick you can get into big trouble for that lol
