I'm going to sell my phone and I restored it to the stock Nandroid LG-P999-V21y that I found on these forums.
The problem I'm having it seems is when I send a text message to someone on Verizon they get it but I never get there text. I've received text's back from people on Sprint and T-mobile.
What could be causing this?

This is probably an issue with your carrier and not the phone. Maybe you should call your company and see whats up. Stuff like this usually sorts itself out overnight though.
I've already confirmed its not an issue with the carrier.
Another thing, I cant get the device to unroot itself with superoneclick it freezes after awhile.

Seems to be a really odd issue that I have no idea how to fix. About 3 days ago, I realized that I didn't seem to be receiving texts. At first, I thought it was from everybody and an issue of my phone. Then I realized that the people I had all texted were Verizon customers, so now I don't quite know where the issue is.
So... I had everybody I knew text me and report what carrier they have. All SMS messages received my phone except the people who have Verizon (for the record, I received texts from Sprint, US Celluar, AT&T, and T-Mobile networks just fine). I can send to them and they receive it. But when they send to me, it seems to go through on their end just fine but I never receive it. And as I said, this is something that only started a few days ago. All their texts were reaching me just fine before that.
It's worth noting that if I have them send me an MMS message, that reaches me just fine. It's only Verizon SMS messages that don't actually make it to my phone.
The only thing I've done to my phone around that time is "fixed" the APN data so it had all the T-Mobile information instead of being mostly blank as it had come. As I thought that might be the issue, I changed everything back to the way it was before, but that hasn't helped at all.
So does anybody have any idea what the problem might be? I thought it must simply be Verizon, but those people who can't send me SMS messages can still text other people just fine apparently. I haven't had the opportunity to thoroughly test that with different carriers like I have with my phone, but for the moment I'll take their word for it.

First of all, APN settings have NOTHING to do with regular SMS messages. Secondly, if you only cannot receive from one carrier, it is a network issue. I work in tech care, and believe me, it's more common than you might think. Call tech care and they will file a ticket with engineering to get it fixed. Shouldn't take too long either!
Call T-Mobile that happened to me when I had a Nexus S. They fixed it

Thanks. I called T-Mobile today, and the guy did something (I don't know what) that required me turn off my phone, but that didn't work. He commented that they have a note in the system about T-Mobile phones not receiving texts from Verizon people who have signatures set, but that's obviously not the problem either.
So he was going to send me to advanced support, but then decided that because I had ported my number over, that might be the issue. No idea how he came to that conclusion since everything worked perfectly fine until a few days ago, and the issue is almost certainly not porting-related.
But regardless, he sent me to some hard-to-understand guy (unlike the first guy) that decided that they needed to rebroadcast some kind of programming/service signal to my phone, and he said "I guarantee that by tomorrow, your service will be completely working". Also mentioned it having to take up to a full day (which it never does for me), and I *thought* he said something about not having service for a while. Except that it's been about 8 hours now and I have yet to lose service, nor is it fixed though.
So basically, when I wake up tomorrow and see that it's still not working properly, I'll be calling them back and speaking with advanced support to hopefully find a better answer for why this is happening to me (and nobody else apparently?).

Yeah the people you spoke with did not know what the hell they were doing apparently. They have to file a trouble ticket in Tech Care so engineering can get it fixed for you.
Yeah, when I called them back yesterday, they ended up doing just that. So hopefully by tomorrow, they'll have some kind of idea and hopefully a fix.
OK, so I'm about to go crazy here.
My phone (NS4G) has absolutely no service. I get bars, but am unable to make or receive calls or SMS, nor have I data service. I've tried different radios, different roms, everything I can think of for the past two hours and nothing. It can't be the service in my location since my aunt has Sprint service and she's right next to me and can do everything just fine.
Any tips before I get on a rampage?
FWIW: When I dial a call, it rings twice and I get some weird message that isn't even from Sprint.
Did you flash a GSM Nexus S ROM? That's the only thing that I can think of right now that would cause that .
Nope. I've tried CM9, CM7, and stock Gingerbread (GRJ22) and nothing. I'm telling you, this is driving me nuts and there seems to be no explanation whatsoever...
What's your baseband. Also check you IMEI.

Interesting. My phone number and MSID aren't showing right. What can I do about this other than calling Sprint, which I can't do right now?
I would flash completely back to stock, flash the latest officially released basebands and radios, then unroot. If you still can't get it to work, bring it into a sprint store and tell them your phone just stopped working and that you have no idea what is happening. Don't mention rooting or anything like that and I am sure they will help you out.
Another suggestion can you force your phone to roam with a program like roam control to see if anything starts working?
Also, any chance your service could have been cut off?

Hey everyone.
My LG G2X is running Cyogenmod 7.2.
Just last week my phone apparently started to not be able to receive phone calls. I called T-mobile and told them about the issue, however they tried calling me and it went through without an issue.
I am lost for words, i've had people from AT&T and Verizon try to call me and no calls go through.
Any ideas?
Kind Regards,
Jordan
What baseband are you on? If you're on a baseband that is not supported by the ROM then you may need to flash one of these zip files to make your phone capable of making calls. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776843

If test calls come through, and calls from other t-mobile phones come through, then it is clearly a t-mobile problem, NOT a phone problem. There is nothing ON your phone that rejects only calls from specific carriers.
You will need to call them back with specific examples of people (phone # and carrier) who cannot call you. Perferably you will also have some examples (landlines, other carriers) who CAN call you.
You also need to make sure to have more than one example, otherwise it could be on the other person's side.
Armed with that information you can prove a pattern and that it is not your phone.
On the other hand, if it is random as far as whether a call comes through or not, then it could be either your phone or t-mobile. A pattern is what you're looking for.
Source of information: I was once a T-Mobile Tier 2 PDA Tech.
My friend just got a oneplus one and is using it on AT&T. He is receiving texts fine from everyone, but the only issue he has is texting me. I am also on AT&T. He is able to text other people on AT&T but for whatever reason I'm the only one that doesn't get his texts, the only way I get them is if they are an MMS. He switched his APN and I then got them but he lost LTE. Anyone have any ideas how he would be able to text me and keep his LTE? We are baffled.

he has tried hangouts, the stock one, and another one but I forget the name, and they have all failed. I've even tried changing my service center address on my iphone to see if it changed anything and it did not.

yea sounds like a bad one but if he can reach others and not you have you tried rebooting your phone as well just to troubleshoot. I would say download hangouts on your phone if you need to get in contact with him.
I remember when I had an iPhone 18months back trying to send messages to other iPhone users was a problem as there phone was still trying to send I messages and expecting I messages back. I put my sim back in iPhone and turned I messages off and it then worked
My problem is, other carriers don't get any texts but can get phone calls from me and I can, get there texts from them and they dont get my replies. Anyone on sprint gets them. A few of my friends have AT&T and they been getting on my s#&t why I never text them back.
I show them that I have msgd them back.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Phone is stock not rooted and my girlfriend is still on an S3 and she don't have this problem.
My dad is on AT&T and has no problem receiving sms/mms. I got a friend on Verizon and another 2 on Straight Talk. No one has issues receiving my texts or mms.

Sprint is sending me a new phone. I couldn't figure it out and they couldn't either
Welp got the new phone and the same problem. Sprint can't fix so they have me a 72 hour window for some one from tech support to call me.
Has no one had this issue ever?
Turns out I was blocked by AT&t and T-Mobile. Don't ask how but it's fixed now
