My phone is an AT&T LG Incite with a hacked ROM (Winmo 6.1) that has been working fine for a year.
I just woke up, my phone just said that the 3G was being used (which confused me), it never said that I received anything. "Messages" wasn't working at all. My "Contacts" were popping up as blank. And everything ran like garbage. I also was having problems hearing phone calls and people couldn't hear me. I eventually just reformatted. Got everything back to normal and it was all fine.
Then my friend texts me asking if I ever got a pic he sent me through MMS. I never got it so I just got him to send it again. So my phone eventually makes the "MMS recieved" sound and starts downloading it. Well, it never finishes and all the same symptoms are happening again. I eventually find out that he sent me it the first time when my phone messed up, so this is def. what is causing the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
NOTE: also if I go into processes "MMSLOADER" or w/e says 97% cpu usage.
try to insert another sim card?
i think your phone lags, because it tries to download the mms?
I used to have a LG Incite, in fact I just sold it a few days ago . But your problem is your ROM. With the Incite you need to reflash every so often. You said you've had the ROM for over a year right? Well you should try and reflash it every few months to keep it fresh and running smoothly. I suggest moving on to WM 6.5, it's much more stable and fast. I used to use Bigmans 28011 no frills version. Best ROM out their, it's on WWW.LG-Incite.com, even still but I got banned from that forum forum because I made two accounts on accident when I first started because of a bad internet connection. What a rediculous excuse, I never did anything wrong.
I figured out a way to fix it. If you just turn off the data completely then restart it. It stops the download.

Hello people. I searched for info on this issue, but nothing for the Captivate came up. Intermittently I'll wake my phone up and there will be a little circle with a line through it where there should be network info. Anything I try to do with the network pops up a "Not registered on network" (or something like that) message. Usually rebooting the phone will solve the problem, but last weekend after three reboots it was still doing it. I left my house and an hour later checked it and no circle/line icon. This happens every several days, so not a chronic problem yet. Still very annoying. Any solutions? Thanks.
Stock Captivate.
I would consider warranty return if it were me I havent seen or heard of this before your post. good luck.
I have a stock captivate and let's just say I am incredibly disappointed and annoyed with it and at&t in general I'm tired of all the run around and hold up concerning froyo, but this isn't the thread for that.
My phone has been glitchy since the get go. The newest is the issue with "not registered on network". It has happened off and on, but a couple days ago, after I had turned the phone off for the night and back on, the phone screen blanked out while the bottom touch panel stayed lit and everything became totally unresponsive. After several reboots by removing the battery, my screen finally came up again, but so did that little blue circle and line...voila..."not registered on network"
The guy in tech support from at&t tried to help me out. He stayed on the phone with me for over 2 hrs trying to correct the issue, but even after a factory wipe...nada. Lost all my apps, free and purchased... if we would have froyo like promised, all my apps would have been backed up...UGH...
This is actually my third captivate in as many months. My first phone bricked itself after 2 days. No one could ever figure out why. I am waiting on a replacement as we speak. Of course my "new" phone is being replaced with a refurbished one. I hate that considering my current phone was only 3 months old and didn't have a mark on it, but what can I do?
because you don't mention if you're running stock or a custom ROM, I'm going to assume custom ROM. and if you are, then you must have not searched very hard because this is already a semi-known issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864903
it happens to me ANY time I use a modem newer than JK3... when I use UGJK3 or older, no problems... but if I use UGJK4 or newer, random "no service" on the lock screen with the "circle with a line through it" in the notification bar. as of right now (I believe) there's no known issue why some modems fail on only some hardware. I have a batch 1006 and it works fine right up until the UGJK3 modem, while some people seem to have absolutely no issues with modems (even the newest ones like UGJL2 and TLJL3). basically, if you're running a JPY based ROM, flash JK3 and see if that helps... if that doesn't, go back to a stock captivate ROM of some sort with a stock modem so you don't have these issues (never happened to be me on JI6/JJ4)
Try changing ur SIM card. That could solve the issue.
In my case, it is original stock all the way. The SIM card is fine because I switched it into two different at&t phones and had no issues at all. Right now my Captivate is a gloried camera and MP3 player.
I forgot to subscribe to my own stinking thread! I know this is stale now, but here goes.
I'm running stock froyo, rooted. At the time of the original post I was using it completely stock on eclair. Shortly after the post, it stopped happening and haven't had issues since. I still don't know what caused it. Thanks for all the input though.

Happened to me a year or so ago on a different phone. Turned out they were upgrading the tower closest to me with new hardware and were shutting it down intermittently to work on it.
Hi, I started getting a message when I try to place calls this morning, it says "Due to error number 16, the call cannot be completed. Please stay on the line to be transferred to customer service" It then says "Switch 702, please call the number provided by your service provider", and then hangs up.
I called Sprint, the rep there said that they can't really do anything about error 16, there's a special number they transfer those to. Then he told me that the phone should transfer me automatically after playing the error message, so he isn't sure what's going on. So now I'm waiting to hear back from them...
In the mean time, I can't make or receive calls, but I do have data. My shift is rooted, and running Cyanogenmod 7.1.
Anyone heard of this?
I had this same thing. It was a combination of a lot of things that finally fixed the issue. Basically calling 611 and telling them the problem. Forcing the most current prl into the phone and then finally getting the right tech person on the line after 3 days of calling. Its not fixed until you have 2 consecutive days of the phone working right.
Once they get something working on their end you can finally dial the number you are told to enter and it will finally work.

I can't even dial 611 from the phone, I get the same message. Or did you mean dial it from another phone? My wife also has an Evo Shift (Unrooted) that isn't experiencing this problem. I'll try from there.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks
They had me update my PRL, profile and then dial ##087523# to change my MSID. That finally got it working.
I had the same error, and I had it while running CM7.1 The sprint techs told me it has something to do with new security features they are implementing on their end. If you wait long enough after the error message is played, it will connect you automatically, it just takes a minute or two. They ask you all your account information like they would when you call customer service for anything else, then a few more questions like what phone model you have and so on.
I flashed x99's rooted sense gb rom and updated the profile and prl and everything was working fine. Later I nandroided back to CM7 and it immediately put me back on the error. I flashed back to the sense rom, updated again and was still errored so I had to call again and once it got resolved, I just left it with the Sense rom.
I also had this problem since Monday, its annoying because you have no idea your phone is not working, so you have to actually try to send a text message or make a phone call...
When i would send a text message, it would say couldn't send message.
I been calling sprint each time, so far today its been working but I ended up switching it back to stock rom.
Had this issue for the past 48 hours or so. Had to call customer service to resolve it. No PRLs or anything needed to be updated, just had to verify my account info. Apparently the problem has something to do with phones not running official Sprint ROMs.
I ended up telling the CSR that I was running CM7 rooted, and he asked why I didn't just run the official Gingerbread 2.3 for the Shift. I almost mentioned that I was tethering, but caught myself just in time
Had the same issue on my girlfriend's shift (CM 7.0.3.1).. had them fix it automatically then decided to update radios and PRL from a sense rom and moved to CM7 nightly.. problem's back. Fixed it automatically again this morning.. hope it was just the radio changes that did it the second time.. if this happens everytime you flash a new ROM it's gonna be ridiculous.
I had to flash back from MikShift to CM7 today and the problem came back. Maybe this is some new measure to discourage custom roms.
I called again and had the tech run a network refresh on my phone. That fixed it, for about 6 hours.
I finally went back to the stock ROM since I use this phone for my business, and can't have it not working like it was. A crappy ROM is better than no phone
If Sprint is intentionally disabling phones running unofficial ROMs, they suck. Especially since their official ROM is buggy and full of crap I don't need or want.
Having same issue. Only on the Shift not on my Evo or Hero that all are rooted ROMs. I get no help from Sprint and my dialer will not do anything when I input those commands they want us to use.
the problem will be fixed once you update your prl and the other option that is there..
then you have to at least load a few pages on your browser.. turn on 4g and get a gps lock...
then you shouldnt have problems on the next roms.
i was in the middle of playing a game and a box appered something about update, couldent read it all next one said failer of some sort couldent read all that. next thing i know i was gettin unsent text errors then i tried callin someone and got the error 16 message. talked to a rep she said she was resetting my phone. asked me to reboot few times asked me to pull battery, which i couldent since i have a internal one. she said everything looks fine on my end. call back tomorrow if it protists or go to a store. few mins later my screen comes on with message saying updating prl then another message saying updated prl. tried texting it worked fine tried calling it worked fine. was stressin for a bit.

Glad you got it sorted out . Sometimes Updating PRL / Profile will correct ERROR 16, sometimes it will not. In that case you have to do as you did call Sprint. They will Reset your Data. One thing though, you mentioned you have an Internal Battery. As in Non-Removable . You do realize this is the EVO Shift Forums. Not the EVO 4G LTE Forums .
Hey everyone,
I have had the infuse roughly since it was released. Never really had any call isuues or anything. Lately however, about 90% of my calls end up dropping. Also, when i try to end a call, the phone kind of freezes and shows that the call has not ended, but it should have. The phone symbol shows up at the top or the status bar stays green... I have no idea what this could be attributed to. I have used different roms and never had an issue. My most recent rom is the Max Q Rom and everyhing was working fine then after a few weeks this calling and ending calls situation started. Tried reflashing the Rom, but problem is still present, dont really think it is Rom related.
Anyone have any input? I cannot seem to figure it out and my phone as a phone has become virtually unusable...
Thanks for any and all help!

Have never heard of that.... still have you tried a data and cache wipe in cmw? then install a rom on a fresh device? I know you will have to back up all your stuff but may be the answer.
Also try another modem may help. Im not sure since ive never experienced that but give it a try.

I can relate. I had the same exact issue a few days ago. I just flashed and didn't look back.. though I probably will eventually. Try Mitra, very good. I loved it. Experimenting with Caty's rom now. Good luck. Wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik and fix permissions. Then flash. Let it sit for 10-15 before you start using it. Make sure it settles and gets used to, "it's native infuse guts," as EXPERIMENT put it.
Had it for about a little over a month now and rooted it with Doomlord's method about 2 weeks ago.
Experiencing the following two issues:
-Sim card notification pops up and says something along the lines of 'Sim card not inserted'. End up rebooting my phone and it works again. This has happened twice and I can't find any threads involving the Skyrocket and this.
-No data connection. Happened about three times now. Wifi works, but can't get packet connection (yes it is on). Again, have to reboot phone and then it will work. The weird thing is that when I first turn it on, everything is fine, but then I checked my phone a few hours later, and I found that my e-mail not reloading.
Anyone know what's going on? I don't have many apps installed either. Just Titanium Backup (not even Pro because I wanted to see what was up with my phone before I bought it), JuiceDefender, one game and GVoice. If this was a one time occurrence, I don't think I would mind, but the fact that it's happened two times is making me a little nervous.
Thanks for reading through all this!
If you are rooted try installing cmw and flashing a new rom see if you still have the issue mine has done what you are talking about. But just thought it was a bad flash of something. Haven't had it happen since I did stock recovery and flashed the rom i'm on now.

Go back to stock. If you have the same problem, call in the warranty. If you don't have the same problems then get another ROM.

Sounds like Sim card acting up. I had problems when I first got my phone with bad Sim card keep loosing data.

Sounds like u either froze or removed sim toolkit. U need this apk. Also juice defender can cause a lot of problems if not configured exactly right. Try uninstalling it

I still have sim toolkit. At least it says I do. I haven't frozen or uninstalled anything since I took it outta the box to be honest. Just deleted some stuff from the widgets screen.
Also, what do you mean by Juice defender configuration? Should I uninstall and re-install?
As for the other replies, I've started to keep a record of the errors. Knock on wood that I won't have more...but we'll see. Only time I get a break is in March so I may have to wait it out.
One other thing: If I want to unroot, is using Doomlord's unrooting method safe? I noticed that under the list of phones that work, there's only one...
thanks again
i have the same problem right now, Just got the skyrocket couple days ago, I upgraded it, under our daughters line, But im using it. I need to activate it with the new sim, for her, then after its all done, can take the new sim out and put it back into her phone, and put mine back into the skyrocket.
Its rooted and thats it.
I froze Sim toolkit and haven't noticed any problems...
what state or area are you in?
i have this same problem, on 2 different phones and 2 different sims. voice will work fine but no data will flow. no email, no browsing, no apps, nothing. it started the day i got the 1st phone (in the at&t store parking lot). eventually it will start working again - browser goes thru, emails deliver, etc.
i rooted and did sky rom on that phone and the problem followed. talked to support, no help. returned to stock and exchanged for a new skyrocket and sim, the problem still exists.
i think there is an issue with either the skyrocket or somewhere on at&ts network. if i pull my phone out at 10 random times during the day and attempt a data connection, it will fail 2 of those 10 times.
very frustrating with no obvious answer in front of me. i don't have lte in my area, and i am in my 30 day window with att, so im thinking of returning skyrocket and going with plan s2.

i just found my problem, the skyrocket dont support the 200mb plan have to have atleast the 300mb. oh well lol.
ok i have a samsung captivate i987.
i bought it already rooted running cyanogenmod and miui. this was 6months ago.
the phone has worked a treat since then, its perfect.
but 2 days ago all of a sudden its been forcing close on nearly everything - facebook, browser/internet, hotmail, google, even sms.
i have no idea what's causing the problem or why i why its happening. i havent installed any new apps recently
and i have done no other rooting or anything with the phone since i got it. since its not even the newest version i assumed it was stable or at least it has been for the past 6 months so i dont get why it would suddenly change.
also when it forces close i have the option to report it but i cant complete the action as it asks me to use gmail or bluetooth. usually there is another option and its easy to send right away without having to input a destination address.
if it helps i'm running android version 2.3.7
can anyone help identfy the problem? and help me to fix it?
this phone is great and i really dont want to have to chuck it.

The most likely issue is the fact that it is running a dual boot and your SD card is messing up. I never advise dual booting as things like this can happen. I would reflash a stock rom. Then go from there. Also might find more help in the captivate section.
