Not sure if this is a Sprint issue or a phone issue... My phone is showing texts as "Sending" for a very long time. The recipient is reporting receipt of the same messages like 9 times. How do I tell if this is my phone, or a Sprint issue?
Edit: Some texts also report failed to send when they didn't fail to send. And all this seems to happen when I'm connected to my corporate wifi, when on LTE, it seems to be okay.
I had this same issue on the first day of use. I have Ting (Sprint). Everything happened like you explained, the text took forever to send on my end, and then the person received it around 10 times. Luckily, nobody has complained since. Hopefully the issue was corrected.

Not corrected yet for me.
I'm on sprint also... My text take a long time also, but for me I have to switch to 3g for them to send. They just spin if I don't switch. I'm thinking it's a phone issue because they sent just fine on my G2 running lollipop.

Could be related to something with the wifi network I'm on, because last night I was on my home wifi and it was fine, no multiple texts and they sent VERY quick. When I'm on my corporate wifi it's slow, gives false failure messages and sends a ton of times. Is Lollipop different with sending texts somehow that wifi can impact it?
Edit: Jinxed myself. Happened while on LTE. Maybe it's an area issue or something... This zip code has tons of issues with Sprint.
Known issue, there is a thread further down. There is a 20 plus page thread at Sprints CS board too. Supposedly the update on 12/15 will correct the issue.
The current workaround is to put your phone in 3G mode. If it's on LTE it spits out numerous texts.

How do I force it to be on 3G instead of LTE to stop this from happening until we get the update on Monday?

I haven't gotten the 5.0.1 update yet. But people are definitely getting the duplicate texts. :/ Guess I'll keep it in 3g for now.

Hey guys,
I've been having weird issues with my SMS, and I had these problems about halfway through having my EVO 4G LTE. In SMS, some characters, such as _, @, &, and others of this type aren't showing up. They're replaced with a space on received messages. I can see them on sent messages, but the receivers say they arrive as boxes. I also have this issue with emojis. Is this a Sprint problem since it's been a problem with two different phones I've had? And how should I fix this?
Nope..just sent these characters you mentioned to my wifes S3 and another to my friends Evo LTE..They dont show up as boxes..The problem may be on your friends end possibly using a 3rd party messaging client because it's working over here.

It definitely isn't that. I've received messages from many different clients and they never work. Maybe my services with Sprint need to be refreshed our something?
Another thing, the symbols work in Google Voice...

Both Sprint and other providers. I have issues with my step brother who is in the same plan as I, and I have issues with my mom who is on AT&T.

Disabling Google Voice Sprint integration fixed the issue. Kind of an odd fix, but maybe this will help someone else.

I completely agree. I had a previous instance (about two years ago) where calls just wouldn't come through, and texts would come really late unless through their app. I had to disable it then, too. I like Google Voice a lot, but it's so buggy.
Just confirming, I sent above characters to 15 recipients and all received them in readable form. I also could see them when sent back to me.
Howdy
When I answer my ONE, I gotta say hello at least twice, sometimes three times before the caller can hear me.
Anyone have any thoughts about this. I am running D3RP 1.ROM
After reading this I realized it happens to me too. Running stock rooted.

I am willing to bet you are all using google voice. This is a typical symptom of google voice users. From my experience it has to do with voice settings, but it might not be the case. It depends on a combination of things.
Seems as though it is probably happening to all of us on 1.31 being the first update that has HD Voice which, I am guessing, is why we have that issue... Just have to get it working flawlessly now type thing since it is finally here

A lot of evo lte users had the same issue. It seems to be a semicommon HTC issues. Most likely due to HD voice and/or two mics. Something isn't kicking in properly. We've been able to fix the issue with a reset. But there have been rare cases that didn't solve the issue so had the phone replaced. But a reset usually fixed the issue. Also having lte on caused it for some. Switching it to just cdma fixed it for some. Luckily we aren't having data issues. A lot if evo lte owners can't even use the data and has serious call issues when lte/cdma is turned on. Hope this helps
Edit: I should add that you should try turning lte off first before attempting anything else lol. That is a more widespread issue right now

so I thought my software was mucked up but then I read a bunch of people are having connectivity issues over the past few days. sprint is blaming my phone but I doubt it, specially with it being a known issue.
basically the phone is having a really tough time conecting to evdo and 1x so much so that I can happily be surfing the web in lte and yet I cant make any phone calls or text messages
anyone else having this issue? and has anyone found something to help?

Most of us have had luck by changing from LTE/CDMA to CDMA only in your network settings. Until there is a software update we are all stuck for now. I had sending text issues for a day or so then that went back to normal. It's a Spark issue. do not worry too much. Neither Sprint or HTC is saying anything about when the update will come.

Hi all,
I normally use textra for messaging. I noticed this morning I couldn't send any MMS messages. My textra app updated yesterday, and I received a new OTA yesterday (24 or 26 mb) so I wasn't sure if it was either of those or my network. I tried sending mms messages in the stock messages app and in the messenger app without success so now I'm wondering if it's the phone vs the network. APN settings are all correct still. Am I the only one?
Thanks!

I'm on ATT as well. Sending MMS seems to be working fine for me. I'm on OOS 3.5.4, using latest Textra, and am rooted (doubt that makes any difference).

I have no idea if this could be the issue or not, but I know in the past, on other devices, I've had some issues when using a SIM from my previous phone. I couldn't use MMS for a while after I switched. I just had to wait for some stuff on the carrier's end to update. Getting a new SIM might fix or speed up the process, but I don't know for sure. Good luck!

That's great news! Glad to hear it's all working again! For some reason, I actually seem to remember having similar issues like that on my OnePlus 2 every once in a while. I remember just having to wait it out, and it'd somehow just resolve itself eventually.
Does above know when this is coming to the note 8. That's a major reason I upgraded from the note 4. I was shocked when I upgraded from the note 2 and lost simultaneous voice and data and have been suffering ever since.
Patiently waiting on this as well
Update: Now working! 11/22/2017
Followed instructions on post 41 in this tread (Thanks to BlueFox for sharing The original how To post)
when sprint release this for the note 8 or you maybe able to pull this form a rooted s8 by spr.
well when i rooted spr note 8 VoLTE and WiFi was working hmmm please don't ask because idk how this is without the up date. yes it works as i can make call but it has no toggle for it. i will take a screen shot in a sec. aslo do any one might know where VoLTE is stored at, if i can find out where this is at....maybe i can pull it for root and non rooted phones (maybe Non-rooted phones)
Here is a picture
Waiting on this as well..come on Sprint
Maybe I can give the xml file for Bolts but u gotta have root

Found this
I found these using an activity launcher, i still havent tried it yet(volte), and i also found a call recorder, and the spam and caller id app but i dont think it works atm
based off his screenshots it looks like hes running the XAS software with sprint csc.
If you flash the unlocked tar image to the phone it will give you volte, but it wasn't working for me unless i was already on wifi calling and then left the wifi network i could continue using data, once i got off phone and made a new call on cellular it wasn't working.

It sucks that yes with all this technology, Sprint is so F behind. Volte should be available for unlock and carrier phone right out of the box. I mean for carrier S8 it came out a bit late, but not as late as the Note 8.
And why does Tmob. Is able to do Volte and hotspot. Just like that.
If I wasn't under a grandfather plan, Zero plan, I will have ditch Sprint long time ago.
Thank God for the gurus here at XDA, makes for some tweaking, while we wait for the Calling Plus...

No not that it was never coming back. It just wasn't coming back till Sprint had VoLTE infrastructure in place and they turn it on.
I think it is still a year or two out before they get that going. The good thing is if they actually activate it our phones are compatible for it.
Turning this stuff on, on our end won't work till Sprint turns it on, on their end.
