6.1 sms only sends/receives during phone calls?

Tried 2 different custom roms so far and with both of them it seems my phone only sends and receives text messages when I make a phone call. This never happened to me with the stock rom. Does this happen to anyone else? How do I fix this? I'm a power-texter - I gotta have my sms working right or I'll go crazy.

Thanks




I tried to search for this but didn't find anything useful without wading through pages and pages and pages of irrelevant posts...

Re: 6.1 sms only sends/receives during phone calls?

hmmm, I have not noticed this, did you hard reset after you flashed??? If not maybee give it a try, also, did you change anything in your phone settings like force or always evdo, this I have heard will disrupt texting, but the phone cannote operate evdo and phone at the same time as evdo uses two phone lines, that is why the phone drops to 1x when a call is in session. I am pretty sure this can be checked or changed from the ##778 send menu, if your rom does not support #codes, you may have to flash a different rom to check the settings there. on a side note, I heard that forcing evdo will also kill phone call capability, so this may not be the problem. check it out to be sure though, and write back if problems persist

what roms have you tried? I use ghettofreeryders.

Re: 6.1 sms only sends/receives during phone calls?

Oh hey that's gotta be it, I forced evdo right before I started flashing roms, I wasnt aware of the sms side effect - HOWEVER... I just flashed back to the stock rom and it seems to work properly even with hdr only preferred mode set.

I've tried the omj and derek roms and yes I hard reset immediately after flashing, think I'll try ghettofreeryders next, see if that works any different.



I forced evdo because I've got one of those test-market sprint airave routers, it seems to provide 1xrtt (I think that's where it's coming from) and my evdo reception is weak where I live; if I leave my phone out overnight without charging it sometimes the battery is dead in the morning presumably from switching back and forth between data types.

for the record, if airave comes to your market and you see that it's coverage area is 5000 square feet, if you do the math for area in a circle that ends up being an approx 40 foot radius

I use Jack Dillards stock sprint version based on the 19199 6.1 build (kind old by now) but it is rock solid and I definitely have not encountered the issue you seem to be having.

I take that back - it was definitely the evdo hack causing the problem. Set it back to auto, all is well.
Thanks dan
