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.
Hey guys I purchased an unlocked G2X off of craigslist after my HD2 died on me :/ now I am running all of the Stock OS no mods nothing. This phone is unlocked as is working with at&t. I am able to access 2g which lets me get on the internet and browse (even thought it is slow it works really good). well the phone is great except I cannot download picture messages (MMS) it just keeps saying failed?!? idk what I am doing wrong? I tried to talk AT&T about it but they are saying that since they do not have a similar phone to it they cannot check the settings for me which sucks! I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and found a way to fix it?? **I HAVE GOOGLED, AND READ UP ON VARIOUS TOPICS BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYONE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME!*
Thank you for all of your help!! Someone please get back to me! THank you ago

I have the same issue with Simple Mobile. I think the images being sent are larger then what we can accept.
yeah i thought about that also, but it wont even let me send a message out, it just fails at that part too. I have tried using Handcent, resizing the images myself everything.
What I am thinking that it is, is the fact that MMS Proxy settings inside of the APN settings?
any suggestions?

It definitely has a lot to do with apn settings. What I suggest is to find out what is the apn settings for one of at&t's (& Simple Mobile's) Android phone and copy it to the G2x and that should most likely fix the MMS issue. I fixed a myTouch 3g for somebody having MMS issues and all it took was Googling the apn settings of the carrier and then add it to the phone and you should be golden.

Have you checked your APN'S... Cuz that's the part you need to fix if it isn't set up for Att.
Usually you would need APNbackup from market or sideload it and backup and then alter apn for att then restore.
If not try using goSms and fill in mms proxy/apn info

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 .
I recently exchanged my phone and noticed yesterday I haven't been getting any text messages at all sms or mms I tried using many different roms from ics to gingerbread and yes I did a full wipe in between using the nullify format. I put my sim card in my G1 and started getting messages so I know it's the phone Is this normal has this happen to any else and hopefully there is a possible fix so I don't have to send it back to LG and be another 2 weeks with my slow ass G1. Edit Didn't see other thread about this looked for it yesterday

can u send or no? how about data? is it working? calls go thru?
maybe is the apn? :/
I can send messages and my web works fine there was another thread about this I did not see. The only thing to do is exchange it once again and go 2 weeks with my crappy G1 or maybe not a friend gave me his iphone 3gs which I am not a iphone person I have ipod touch and i'm ok with that. So I'm thinking of putting it on straight talk till I get a at&t android phone don't know much about there phones so I'll be looking around for a decent one.
Hello, have a question and was wondering if any one else has had this issue with the infuse. My wife's phone some times will not receive calls, but will get a notification that she has a voice mail. Can receive text's, she will try to send a picture and will have to shut off phone and turn it back on in order to get it to send the picture. The phone is not rooted or any thing, it is stock. I am wondering really two things, first if any one has had this issue if so how to fix it, or if maybe if i root the phone and flash a custom rom on it would that maybe fix the issue. Thanks for any help with this any one can give in this matter.
