Help text messages don't send and network issues

Ever since the update to 2.2 (when I downloaded it from Samsung, everything was fine but going to ECO2 or whatever it was they pushed OTA Im having this issue now) I will randomly notice that my text messages stay "sending..." and no one is receiving them. I have to turn off my phone and power it back on and then they'll send. Very frustrating as I don't always have time to sit there and double check if the message was sent successfully.

Also, I've noticed that while using 4G, navigation seems to sometimes just be non-existent. Webpages won't load etc. Sometimes it works great and things load up just fine and fast. It's not a matter of signal because I live near a tower and have full bars of 4g.

Is anyone else having these problems?
 
Could try clearing data from sms and see if that helps. Menu>settings>applications>manage applications>all>messagingjclear data. I just tried it on mine and my messages were still there but you may want to download an app like sms backup+(free) just to be safe. Also as a last resort could try a factory reset if that hasnt been tried, but you loose everything so backups are a must for info that is important. Hope this helps:)

I am having the same exact problem, and it definitely doesn't have anything to do with what is on your phone because I am on my third brand new Epic 4G and have had the same issues on all of them. If anyone has any idea on how I might be able to fix this I would love to know. About to be on phone #4 in less than a month.
