Time for a replacement? (Again)

**elesbb** · #1 (**permalink**) 05-10-2011, 11:54 AM

I dont know why but my replacements dont last long at all . The issue im having now, when trying to send a text message , while being in full coverage , and even 4g . It says message not sent , out of coverage ... someone help ? ive tried every ROM possible . Im on the Sprint Stock ROM LOCKED . As i am sick of this problem .. Im thinking its a bad radio . Or something like that . Even after hard resets it still does this . but it goes away and then starts again .. it drives me insane .

that is weird. sounds like it may be a problem on ur account or maybe its a sprint cell site/tower issue like im currently experiencing with my data. nonetheless u still can try different radios before u go and call sprint.

From what I heard this is an issue with Sprint...aka all devices are having this issue in areas that are effected...

Try a different radio like the original 1.96 version that is with the 6.1 rom.

When did the TP2 get 4G? LOL

It could be any number of things bro...
Do you have the same issue after a hard reset and on the stock rom?

you are correct sir, sprint will confim it if you call also. lots of evo and epic peeps having issue also.

Hmm.... I haven't noticed on my EVO.
I'll have to pay closer attention. But no issues here... Do you think it's a regional issue?

So the OP should get in contact with Sprint to hopefully resolve this issue?

OP... You might end up with another replacement phone as techs ususally order a replacement when they can replicate your concerns and cannot find a way to fix it. First they try a hard reset and if that doesn't do it... They order a new (refurb) phone.

and how are 3G speeds in this area? as the forum knows already mine have been shit but today I have noticed some improvement. haven't gotten any overheating like I used to and speed tests that I've performed in the last hour yielded speeds hovering between 450 and 674 with a peak speed of 958. if it stays this way i will finally be able to enjoy my Netflix without interruption.
