SMS FIX - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

If any one is having problems sending Text messages here is the fix that worked for me.
Go to phone dialler and punch in
*#*#4636#*#* aka *#*#INFO#*#* (This may take a minute to pop up)
Then go to Phone Information and scroll down to SMSC and enter your networks SMSC number e.g. +440000000000
Now Press update now all should work 100% if that did not work retry all the steps but press refresh after.

I hope this helps people out as it started to piss me off that all ROM's stopped sending SMS texts randomly on my HTC Hero.

3UK pay monthly SMSC for GT-I9300
Just a reminder that some phones (such as my Sammy GT-I9300 will not take a real phone number in the SMSC text box, but the number converted into reversed octets (further info later on in the thread - can't post a link yet).
Because the SMSC number for SGS3 on 3UK pay monthly is +447782000800, the correct SMSC would therefore be 0791447728008000.
Just fixed mine, tried and it works like magic.

[Q] Android SMSC/MMI NIGHTMARE!

My phone is the http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generic-N7103-Android-Capacitive-Screen/dp/B00CSIU0L6
I have rooted the phone.
I used the *#*#4636*#*# Call to get to the menu, I checked the SMSC as it was giving me issues (I removed the old, replaced it again (the number didn't change, Just thought I'd type it in again to be sure.
I am now aware I need to do this:
For example, my vodafone +447785016005 goes to 0791447758100650110000910000AA00, which shortens to 079144775810065011. Go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and put that in SMSC and hit update. Messages now send!!!. Hopefully I can save someone else the grief I've had all day...
please use below url to encode the SMSC

Encoder: http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode

However, I am now unable to access that menu using the *#*#4636*#*# or *#*#4636*#*#, code I just get "Connection problem or invalid MMI Code" with ANY/ALL SERVICE CODES ( *#06# still works tho.
So I can't send texts.
Have tried a different sim etc however not able to get to that menu
When I got the phone Tatanium wouldnt allow me to backup my rom
Will a system restore fix this, or do the setting within that menu always remain?
Please can anyone point me in the direction I need?
Yes, I did google it, and go no-where
Mods if this is in the wrong section please move it, thanks.
Thanks

[Q] Google Now conversational voice commands and Canada

If I read correctly, the latest version of Google Now includes siri-style conversational voice commands, so you can ask things like "send a text message" and it will prompt you for both the recipient and contact. But, the version notes state that "New hotword: “Ok Google” (US only)", which I suspect means that this new feature isn't available in Canada. Fine, that happens, we in Canada are used to getting shafted on stuff like that.
BUT.
It seems wrong to keep that from Nexus 5 owners in Canada. Right? Any one have thoughts on getting around this restriction?

You have to set language to English (US) for the hotword to work. That solved my problem on 4.4 on my Nexus 4.
It means your default language bro not your country.
Just set the language to ENGLISH (US) and thats all.
If helped please hit thank button.:good:
I think you misunderstand. "OK Google" works fine. Its the further response that's missing. For example, I can say "send a text message" and I get a form to write a text. It should ask me to specify a contact and message.

Rebooting my phone fixed this.
So it's all good?
The language also needs to be set inside of Google Now's settings. :good:

Phone number unknown

In settings - about phone - status - my phone number it says unknown. On my old Xperia Z my phone number was listed there. Z3 works completely normal. Phone calls, SMS, data... No problem. Do you have your phone number listed in status or have some of you also encountered the same issue? I don't know if it is a problem or not. One guy who has the same problem and is on the same carrier got new nano sim card but problem was not solved. Then carrier reset his card without success, phone number is still not listed. Is that a real problem or should I just ignore it?

My number is listed there, and I'm guessing it's no big deal if it isn't. But I might be wrong though, never thought much about it. Please correct me if I am ?
I dont see it as being an issue what so ever but as for why it is not showing there. . . . . . . . . .I have no idea! Mine says unknown too
I think it's the new TMobile SIMs. No big issue, newer SIMs just aren't storing the phone number on them.
No number shown on o2 in the UK, maybe a broader issue.

Using a newer SIM Card? I can check my wife's when she gets home (she's still using her BB Curve 8330 Sim Card) but I switched to a new SIM card.
My T-Mobile number shows, however its not an issue if it doesn't, your phone will work fine on your network.
It is only reading a field called the MSISDN on the SIM which is not really used for anything useful. It varies from carrier to carrier as to whether they populate this field.

Mine is being shown; EE in the UK.
works for me too! I'm on 3 UK
Dom, can you open contacts app and look for a contact called 'Myself'? Its automatically generated by the phone.
It also should have your mobile number in it.
If it doesn't then its either SIM/Provider issue. Try replacing the SIM with a new one.

T-Mobile APN Settings

To everyone who is rocking an unlocked AT&T G Flex 2 on T-Mobile. Can you please post a screenshot of your APN settings.
I'm currently on my second T-Mobile SIM card because T-Mobile Tech Support nor I can figure out why I cannot send or receive MMS messages.
Everything else is working fine but I can't download pics sent via text and I can't send pictures. The little blue notification saying that the service is currently unavailable will just keep flashing.
Thanks in advance.
I have same issue
I have been having same issues lately, i t used to work with APN settings on T-mobile website but not any more problem started 31st Oct

Did you try a different SMS app like Textra, Google messenger/hangouts, or chomp?

Same here. I am on T-mobile network. MMS worked both ways for me 1 week ago. Now I can only receive, but not send.
I just received one MMS from a phone on T-mobile, this might mean the issue is only with phones coming from other cariers or even worse just with ATT's Flex 2
I've been having this issue too. Setting the MMS port to 80 in the APN worked for several weeks, but now it has mysteriously stopped working.
T-Mobile MMS working fine H950 5.1.1PR rooted Textra
On T-Mobile in California and MMS sending and receiving working fine. H950 5.1.1PR rooted. Using Textra for messaging. I've always had issues with stock messaging app and MMS on T-Mobile including prior phones, Samsung S3 and LG G2. Textra fixed all that.
I'm using common LTE APN settings for T-Mobile posted in many places. Screenshots below.

I've just noticed this icon appear next to "Mobile" for each contact in my Contacts app. It looks light gray with my theme and has a SIM-card-looking picture in it. Anyone know what this means?
Do you get a different icon for someone when a call comes from a number you've set as "Home" by chance?
If not, I'm wondering if it's saying that contact info is stored on the phone/SIM card instead of Google

No, setting the number as "Home" or "Work" does not change the icon. I also selected to browse only the contacts on the SIM card and on the device, neither of which has any contacts. These contacts are on my Google account only. This is definitely a "SIM card" icon, though I'm not sure why it's showing for all of the contacts.
I think it's for dual sim card phones. is my guess mine changes from an number 1 to a number 2 depending on which sim card the call came in on
