Help SMS message cajubled.

[Visionshift]

My texting got messed up all of a sudden, an now when I text it looks like this:

Me: blah blah blah
Me: blah blah blah
Me: blah blah blah
Person: asdf
Person: asdf
Person: asdf

Anything I send gets put to the top of the chat. It's annoying as hell. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Visionshift]

Nevermind, I *THINK* I found out the reason, Sprint= 2 hours to reset stuff, IMO= ******ed. But I guess.. What do I do with these 2 hours to myself... I can't even play games..

 

[canyouhearmenow]

Same thing happened with mine, now I cant send or receive any texts, I think it is for all sprint phones because I tried sending a text with my dads phone which is not an evo and it wouldnt send either. I can still make phone calls and do everything else.

 

[droalex]

What do you mean sprint takes 2 hours to reset stuff?

Reset what?

Im guessing it has to do with DST

Maybe he meant because of daylight savings time it takes 2 hours? No clue

 

[Visionshift]

Yeah DST, I don't know, that's what Customer Care is saying to us.. If it takes 2 hours to reset a one hour fall back, that's dumb. But hey, I guess I can't complain..

An yeah, all I can make/receive are phone calls..

I'm guessing its 2 hours now because that is when all the time zones are going to be done with daylight savings time

 

[droalex]

ah ok
Anyone know if you will receive any text sent to your phone still?

Like if someone texts me right now will it show up later?

 

[canyouhearmenow]

I dont think so, because when I tried sending a text from my dads phone which is not an evo just some flip style phone it wouldnt send and then saved it in his dropbox folder, same thing with when i try sending a text it tries and then it stops and u have to hit re-send again

Folks, Sprint is suffering a nationwide SMS outage. They're hoping to have it back up by 6:00 a.m. CST.

I'm no technological genious so can someone explain how text messaging can be down yet phone calls are not, its the same network....

 

[Lord Vader]

I hope to god you're lying.

I wish I was, but I am not. It has been confirmed.

No it's not. There is a technological difference.

 

[droalex]

Is T-Mobile or any other networks having issues too?

 

[canyouhearmenow]

No it's not. There is a technological difference.

ok...so explain the difference

 

[Visionshift]

Droalex, I don't think so.. Just sprint.

 

[droalex]

Alright thanks! and if anyone has the same question as me

I think you can receive text still because I used text2day to text my phone and it showed up.

 

[Lord Vader]

Is T-Mobile or any other networks having issues too?

Don't know.

ok...so explain the difference

I don't have the time except to say that SMS can go out without affecting the phone call capability.

FYI, it has happened to Sprint before--this year, in fact.

 

[josh_evo]

Its working again!

 

[luxetical]

ok...so explain the difference

I'm not any type of computer engineer or anything but what separates SMS from Calling on a cellphone is that SMS works kind of like your computer on the internet, the message gets sent to a giant server and then gets forwarded to whoever you're sending it to.

And calling kind of works like a radio dealing with frequencies and antennas.

 

[Lord Vader]

Its working again!

It will be working sporadically for a bit until the whole system is back to normal.

 

[josh_evo]

What?? Really? Its pretty messed up. I don't understand how Sprint can let this happen and not put some sort of message up. Especially since it supposedly happened before.

 

[Lord Vader]

Schit happens as they say. Nothing's perfect. An outage was experienced; Sprint was on top of it. If it hasn't been fixed for everyone yet, it will be shortly.

BTW, it's kinda hard to get a message out when it happens in the wee hours of the night.

 

[Visionshift]

Everythings back to normal, an it also solved my original issue! :tup:
