Does anyone else have the problem where SMS arrive much later than they were sent? I have been experiencing this quite regularly. They usually come through when I turn the screen back on. Can anyone think why this is happening. Its as if the device isnt waking up to let me know there is a SMS.
Thanks

Its probably a network issue... I dint have any issues as such...
I would also think that this is most probably a network issue. Maybe it would be worth trying a different radio?!

Hmm, did you pay the sms mailman enough?
Hmm I haven't had problems with lates SMS, but I have had problems with text messages being so long in length that it seems that the inbox cuts the rest off... don't know why though
YES - I've had the exact same issue and it's driving me crazy. I get text messages delivered at 2am that were sent at 2pm. And it appears completely random - I can send myself a text message and it arrives in a few seconds .. I can send another one a few minutes later and it arrives 6 hours later. Am gonna call Sprint because this is very annoying. Touch Pro for me - never had this problem prior to purchasing the TP.
Try advanced config and enabling "wake up on new sms".
I have already enabled wake on new sms. Seems really weird, happened again today.
I have only had this issue with Verizon sending to AT&T so i would think it is a translation issue
I had the same problem with my TP purchased i Norway. I went for a whole day without getting any sms'es and thougt that it was weird. So i turned my device on and off. And suddenly i got like 6 messages.. And after that I got some sms'es if i made a call or if i used gprs or 3g connections. Or if i turned my device on and off as mentioned. But it got so bad that i had to hard reset my device.. Realy annoying..
This was happening to me on my Fuze so I did a hard reset and now it is fine. I would suggest doing that. Be sure to backup anything important (pics, vids, etc.) before because they will be gone on a hard reset.
Well this set a new record for me - 2.5 hours on the phone with Sprint Technical Support .. but, am very happy to say the problem has been fixed.
FINALLY I was able to get to someone (Level 2 Tech) that was actually determined to fix the problem, even though we couldn't replicate it right away. Turns out it is a rare problem that they describe as a "traffic jam" in the routing to my phone, and they ran what they called the "Text Message Plunger" (no I'm not making this up!) - and it fixed it completely, and texts starting coming through instantly and no problems since. It seems this is a known problem, albeit a rare one.
But if your texts randomly show up hours late - this seems to be the problem. But I can tell you - no one in customer service or Tech Level 1 could even come close. In fact, with my initial attempt at Tech Level 1, she spent 5 minutes on the problem, then she apologized for the "nationwide outage", credited me $60, and said there was nothing they can do until that is fixed. Realizing this was BS - called right back and finally got to a Level 2 Tech who seemed much more interested in fixing the problem.
So would recommend calling and immediately trying to get to the higher tech support. I'm so glad they were able to fix it on their end rather than trying to get a new phone, or having to do a hard reset.
Hi all,
I've done some searching on this and found some "general" instances of this happening in the official Sprint Community forums, but nothing of value and certainly nothing with particular application to the Shift.
I recently rooted and installed CM7.2RC2 on a family member's phone (not 7.2 final due to bluetooth bug). Although I'm no expert, I've rooted a number of phones and had no issue with the awesome directions provided on these forums.
Randomly, when making a call, the Shift dialer does not ring once "send" is pressed, but rather one only hears an "echo" of anything being said into the phone. On the other end, the call seems to connect normally; however, the recipient only hears an echo of their own voice as well. As such, the two parties cannot communicate, despite the fact that for all appearances the call is connected.
This occurs in the opposite situation as well. Seemingly randomly, if a call is placed into the Shift, the user of the Shift can accept the call no problem. However, once the call is accepted, the person using the Shift only hears an echo of their own voice. On the dialing end, the call appears to be connected, but that caller only hears an echo of their own voice as well.
The issue tends to occur in "blocks", like a few calls won't work, but then it'll work normally again all of a sudden. The phone might be fine for a few hours, then randomly it'll happen again.
I've attempted to downgrade to CM7.1, upgrade to the latest nightly, and use just about everything in between with no luck. I updated the radios to the current version again (also did this during the rooting process, updating the profile/prl/pri as well, before flashing CM). Last night I downloaded newSENSE in the hopes of flashing that tonight and using the Sense interface to update the Profile on the phone. However, I'm not sure that will do any good if I nan back to CM7.2RC2.
Just wanted to shoot this out to the rest of the group to see if anyone else might have had this same or a similar issue with their Shift. I've used CM/AOKP on my OG Evo since I brought it home and never experienced anything similar.
Thanks for any thoughts/input!

This happens to me on cm9.
I can still hear the other person, but I always hear a slight echo (not enough to make the conversation impossible)
Its annoying, but its not too bad.
As far as I know, the other person doesn't experience any echo.
Sounds similar...but the only difference is, with my issue, neither party can hear the other. All each party hears is a slight time-delayed echo of their own voice; not the other person.
When the issue occurs during a dial-out on the Shift, the caller on the Shift doesn't even hear the "ringing" of the phone on the other end to confirm that the call is being routed (although it is, and the person on the other end can pick up)...all the Shift user hears from the point where they press the dial key is an echo of what is on their end of the line.
It's very weird.
Also, if it helps, the phone has Google Voice integration enabled on Sprint. I'm seeing some posts saying that this may be the issue, although I'm not convinced since this problem never presented itself prior to rooting/flashing.
Thanks!

Yeah, it hasn't been as bad as your situation.
This ROM has google voice installed on it, but I disabled it (i dont like it lol)
I honestly don't know what could be causing the echo.
I haven't tried flashing other roms to see if the echoing persists because it's not too much of a nuisance for me.
I don't know the cause of your issue, so not much help. But I can say I have had Voice integration setup for a while now, across all different types of ROMS and never experienced this problem. Everything from the new ICS/CM9 Roms, chinese ports and etc.. to me just having to unroot back to stock today, the integration has worked for me without a problem on everything.
I'm running NewSense and get an echo call once a day or so. Isn't continous and if I hang up and dial again it always goes through normally. I was running CM7 and UKE ROM and can't remember if I had the same issue so I just deal with it and assume it's a Sprint service glitch. As it's not terrible, I don't feel like reflashing just to see if that would fix it.
As a quick update: This morning I deactivated Google Voice integration on the line and the user has had not experienced the problem since I took that action (approx 14hrs of normal use sending/receiving numerous calls).
I'm going to reintegrate Google Voice on the line tomorrow, giving it 24hrs to be sure that was the issue, and will report back whether the problem returns.
In the interim, thanks again to all for your input!

After reintegration of Google Voice on Sprint, the issue reappeared immediately. As a result, I've just decided to forego Google Voice integration and instead set up conditional call forwarding. Not really a big deal; but still a very odd bug! Odds are I'll re-try the integration again at some point in the future, but for now call forwarding should be fine.
Oh well, hope this might help out someone else in the future!
same issue on Evo 4G LTE
I am experiencing exactly the same issue on my Evo 4G LTE. I have Google voice integration as well. I was told at a Sprint store that it is a known network issue (even happening on iphones) and that I should call Sprint and tell them where it was happening, but I'm pretty sure they have no idea it has anything to do with Google Voice, and I know the low level customer support rep that I get when I call *2 is not going to be helpful at all, nor will they accept the evidence that it is a GV issue. I really don't want to disable GV integration, but if that is what I have to do, I will.
Oh, and this is happening on a stock rom both with S-OFF and S-ON
Same thing on ET4G (S2), At first I thought it was a hardware problem so I took it to Sprint and they gave me a new phone. The problem persisted. Then I suspected it was Google Voice. I use GV's features all the time so disconnecting it from Sprint is not a preferable option. Has anyone made any progress on this?
If you read the other posts, he said that the only way to fix it that he found was to disable google voice. If you mean to ask if there is any workaround, I would not think so, but if you absolutely needed to use Google Voice, you could RUU back to stock (only if rooted) and then take it to Sprint to have them replace it
It might also help if you exaggerated your problems a bit, thats what I did and they gave me a new phone for no charge

As an alternative to Google Voice, you could always use something like Skyvie from the Play Store

Just thought I'd update for posterity. The user of the Evo Shift 4g has been using a Photon Q since release with Google Voice integration. This week it started developing this same issues with calls in/out echoing with at least one party not being able to hear the other. Although the user of that handset loves GV, I think I might just turn off integration permanently and relegate GV to a voicemail service rather than an all-encompassing messaging client. Too bad, really. The integration was a great idea.
Hey guys. Ia anyone having any issues with background data? I don't get push Notifications When im not on WiFi. Even when I'm on WiFi, my screen needs to be on to retrieve them. I've tried toggling the background data setting on and off. Music seems to work fine though, streaming. Tried prl and profile updates and even hard reset. I also installed the software update. anyone else having the same issue? Ia there a setting I'm missing?
Tyia
I have something similar, it seems to update but only when it wants to. Specifically with some apps data works only when on WiFi. For Example Google Play Music takes forever (I mean 10 minutes to load one song) to load songs on Sprints Network, but it is immediate on WiFi. Same thing with Facebook App, it will take 15-20 minutes to load data when in Sprint Network. As soon as I connect to WiFi it works immediately. Other apps work great, others don't.
Had the same issue. Sprint told me to do the ##72786# trick. Seems to work so far.

Grrrr i don't get it. I tried that, still a no go. Google play music, google wallet and hangouts don't work period on lte. But voice search and the google app works just fine. No push Notifications on anything except on gmail for some reason. So frustrating, i don't get email notifications for work which is bad. I blame sprint's software team because my sprint note 4 and the s6 on verizon and att have no such issues.
I also posted a thread describing the same issues. All i know is sprint bette be working thier asses off on this because this is ridiculous i miss my gvoice txt for work because of this. If a customer cant txt me than i lose money. And im blaming sprint right now
Not to mention that the workaround is to use wifi. To use wifi!! Did they forget that there is also a major bug with wifi draining the phone like crazy as well. Pretty messed up
I've got the issue back again. I'm going to best buy to return. My wife's white phone is working perfect. Do you guys have the black version?
White, im outside of my 14 days. I have the white.
It works! Out of nowhere today , all of the issues are gone !
Guys please contact your carrier and samsung this is a bug affecting a lot of phones. I'm on the 4th and it is still an issue. The first 2 were black 64gig models and the last 2 are gold 64gig models.

I'm having a bizzare issue that started on Christmas Eve.
I'm not getting my text messages. Well, I get them, but very, very late if at all. I sent well wishes to people that night and received a barrage of responses about 8-12 hours later.
Even when I text myself nothing happens. I've tried reflashing, playing with every setting I could and nothing.
The only way I can force them to me in is by dialing voicemail and texting myself while the call is active. THEN it works. I get my text immediately and whatever's been waiting in queue.
If anyone's got any ideas, I'm all ears. T-Mobile GS6 running xtrestolite on DOI1 baseband.
Problem resolved. After trying everything I could think of I called T-Mo. They reset my APN on their side and voila!
So if anyone ever has this same issue, call you provider and have them troubleshoot on their side too. Especially if you know that no one else is having the same issue.
Like the title says. Not sure if it's related but I noticed it after the upgrade. Texts show as if they are going through bit they aren't. I was receiving texts but that dried up too. Anyone with similar issues?
I guess I figured it out. That google carrier services app that usually solves nothing did the trick. Once I installed it everything started working fine.
