[Q] Sprint N5 users: Does anyone else get the annoying //ANDROID sms messages??? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am unfortunately a Sprint customer. I had an ordeal just getting the sim card, to simply activate a few weeks ago... but that's for another area of the forum.
I am wondering that perhaps i am getting this issue due to not having a Sprint provided N5 and since i used Google Voice for my messages, I never bothered to setup Sprint voicemail.. nor do I have an app on the phone for Sprint voicemail.
I get 2 messages.. and each time looks like this:
//ANDROID:[email protected] has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 toMMSN,c9c98480707,400,V68a+Im3diX//CM
It comes in every 3-4 days... and just doesn't want to stop. I don't even know how to check Sprint VM to get this cleared...
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions to get these texts to stop?

Calls going directly to voicemail

I've been having an issue where my incoming calls are sent directly to my voicemail. It happens about 70% of the time, and its incredibly frustrating. I went into a Sprint store and they performed a firmware update, and it seemed to fix the problem for a couple weeks, but its back again. I've tried searching but havent been able to find anything.
A Sprint employee told me that Android phones require a couple seconds to "completely" hang up. Not sure that the issue though. My area is 1x, phone is in Hybrid Mode and the feature to automatically send to voicemail is disabled.
Any ideas? Anyone else having this problem?
I am having the exact same issue; and I've noticed it has gotten worse over the last week. I'm not in a 3g area, and I notice it happens more frequently if I've been surfing the web or using data.
do you guys/gals experience this in one particular area? meaning it o only happens at home? seems like your phones might not be getting service and the calls get sent straight to voicemail.
Since CDMA cannot handle voice and data at the same time you may notice calls going straight to voice mail if you've been browsing or using data. The call may never come through if you happen to be using data at the exact time a voice call is coming through...
check settings/call settings and make sure DDTM mode is not checked

mine seems to be more or less random. I usually have solid signal; and I've had people tell me they called four or five times and the first ones went right to voicemail and then one randomly gets through. In these cases I KNOW I haven't moved my phone...

This is true, however, the device is smart enough to know when to cut the data connection if a call is coming in.
I got a replacement device yesterday, seems to be working fine now.

This is exactly what I was experiencing, also in solid 1x coverage. I would recommend going to a Sprint store and asking for a replacement. They replaced mine with no questions asked when the Rep tried to place a call to my phone unsuccessfully in the store.

[Q] Calls going to voicemail?

I've had a couple calls go straight to voicemail even though I have a good signal, has anyone else noticed this happening? I'm on the Inspired ROM and rooted.
Yes, I've had it happen several times. I've got trapcall otherwise I may not even know it happened. Completely stock Inspire.
Bump --- I had my first call to my Inspire go to voice mail, anyone else had this, and if so is there some fix? My Data is fine, even though I just swapped my Captivate sim into my Inspire and did not call ATT, hate when I have to call them for anything!
i've had a few goto voicemail, i used to get this same issue sometimes with my iphone too

Oh crap. I can't make a call. HELP

I bought a droid x and sent it to a company to be flashed to work with the verizon straight talk service. Apparently everything was working fine before he shipped it back to me. I just got it two days ago and I can't make/receive calls or text messages. I can get on the web.
I called him up and he said straight talk is having issues. I called straight talk and tried to get it working. They told me a bunch of codes to put into the phone. I pretended to do so. They told me to restart the phone and call *228 to program. I did so but to no avail. Finally they told me that I am out of my area and they don't provide roaming service. Did something change with that? I read on there website you can use it anywhere in the states...
I sent them a email with my info and they said they would have there network analyst review my issues.
Has anybody else had the same issues?
What can I do to get this work? I have been out of a phone for over a month now. I can really use some help. Please...

Other carriers don't get my texts

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.
Pimpin' Like Clinton
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

OP7 Pro GM1910 on MetroPcs

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with this phone I bought couple weeks ago. I am using it on Metro by TMobile. Only problem is that I cannot receive text messages from ATT, Verizon, etc not on the same network as me. I can receive texts from TMobile and MetroPCS numbers without a problem.
I can send texts without any problem and everybody receives my texts. Not receiving texts is becoming problem because all these apps send me Temporary Pin to log into my bank accounts. Those type of messages don't come through either. I cannot activate my Uber account, etc.
I have talked with MetroPCS customer service and as usual they do not know anything. They haven't even heard about OnePlus. When I tell them I have OnePlus, they all go is that Samsung, Motorola? You get the idea.
One more thing to mention, I was receiving texts fine until Last Sunday, which is 5 days ago. Problem started on Monday March 30/2020.
Is there anyone having or had the same problem? How did you fix it? Or any ideas? I will take any suggestions.
So far, I did factory reset = no-go. Installed custom rom=no-go. Installed both Stable and Beta latest=no-go.
I have seen online people with Verizon were having the same problem, and they called their customer service to tag their phones as CDMA-less device. Then, texts started working fine.
I know GM1910 is a Chinese version, but out of all things, text messages don't work? I get LTE, send or receive calls, and send texts just fine. One interesting thing happened. When customer service guy reset my line, I got all the messages that were hanging there come to me at once. Then after that, no new messages.
This is my last resort. Fellow XDA-ers. Help me please!
I am in Los Angeles, CA.
PS: does it have anything to do with TMobile and Sprint merging, *ucking *hit up for Metro?
We have one gm1917 on metro and one on Verizon. No problem with text messages. Are you running the international rom? Stock Android messages? Did you try enabling rcs to see if that helps?
