Hey guys, my phone has been working fine until 3 days ago. I am running the latest Eclipse rom. I woke up one morning to send a text and it wouldn't go through, it kept failing, so I restarted my phone to send it, and it worked. Later that day I went to send another message but it didn't work again, so I did the same thing. Now, I can't receive, or send texts (I can't even do calls) without having to turn airplane mode on and off every 5 minutes. I tried factory reset and that didn't work. My brother doesn't have any problem with his iPhone so maybe this is an S3 thing or something.

Are you from either the 570 or 717 area codes? There are a lot of people from those areas(myself included) that are having this issue on AOSP with no current known fix.
no but i have seen those posts... i flashed the slimkat rom and it seems everything is now fixed
edit: hour later, phone is starting to act up again. only way i can send messages is to toggle airplane mode. i have no idea if anyone is trying to reach me... phone status says i'm connected with mobile network, in service. i have no idea what could be causing this.

You should not need a fix, just reboot the phone to verify if it still exist. Verizon was having a US wide outage that was effecting most users across the US. I called them this morning on the same issue and that is what the tech agent told me. She said that they knew of the issue and was working it and that it should be resolved within a couple of hours. To recycle my phone in about 2 hours and the issue should be gone. I did and I have not seen the error since and I am now receiving email again. hope this helps you
thanks a bunch for the info man
sorry about that, your reply didnt show up untill after i posted, chrome is having some problems lately
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 .
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.
I got a bit of a problem. I got the phone less than a month ago and the past week there is an issue of me not getting sms till i reboot the phone. I felt it was strange last week when i try to get paypal login sms and there is no sms coming phone ro phone call validation. It wasn't till I reboot the phone I start getting sms. I am using tmobile. It have happen the past few days
Have you tried a factory reset?!

It may solve the issue try

I know this struggle
Or just dload the same firmware. It will not erase data and just reset system apps, not settings or anything. Try it
I have literally had to pull the Sim and installing on my previous One Plus 6 as SMS are so slow to arrive (about 5 to 10 minutes) so that 2 factor fails! Times out, blocking site access.
I've never in multiple years had a problem where SMS takes 5+ minutes to arrive expect with a phone. I can not even access many sites when the Sim is in the One Plus 7 Pro, but in the One Plus 6 (running ASOP no issues within seconds I get SMS), so it is not the carrier it is the One Plus ROM that is at fault, why is this ROM (9.5.4) so broken! What can I do to get SMS in a reasonable period, on this phone as I hate to switch the sim 2x times a day simply to get an SMS message and access a site. Ready to just shut this down until I can get ASOP for the phone if this is a problem that can not be worked around.
Just completely disgusted with SMS messages and One Plus 9.5.X on T-Mobile!

Cannot relate. Texts come in within seconds on my 7 pro. Perhaps check with customer service to see if everything is set up correctly? Or perhaps the area you're using the phone lacks service?
Working well here, perhaps your apn settings need some review
This started happening for me yesterday completely randomly. But it seems fine today.
I am able to get the sms's in 4 - 5 seconds after requesting.
At first I thought it might be a network issue. But it worked fine when I put the SIM in another phone.

Thank you, very happy to hear it happened to some one else. I've check it is not the APN, however I'm wondering if it is related to the use of Wifi Calling, I need to do another test.

I think I know what caused the issue for me. I was using 1.1.1.1 (Cloudfare DNS) on factory resetting my phone, The DNS also went back to default and I no longer have issues with SMS's
Hmm, sorry to hear that OP. Not having any issues with texts etc.
