Does anyone have sucky reception from art? - Captivate General

The last few days my phone service sucks. I have a hard time getting data, I can get, but not send texts, and people who call me go straight to voicemail. I tried flashing a different modem. Any suggestions or is anyone else experiencing this?

worked for me. what changed?
Somehow it's possible for the message center to get corrupted/lost... Happened to me too.
Looks like the OP solved the problem, but I have this issue with my microcell. I can text everywhere but home. I have to try resending some texts 3-4 times. There is an new iphone in the house that has no issues, nor did my old 3gs have any issues on the microcell.
My wife and I have the same issue. Granted when we aren't at home and the signal is still low we will have failed texts but at home its horrible. I think AT&T is full of crap and the Mcell doesn't handle SMS and MMS as it should.
There is a thread here called "text message issues (infused)" I can't post links yet...but it refers to microcell and texting issues. It says there are posts that discuss fixing it, but I can't seem to find anything.
The other day I only had one or two fail, but today had been worse than normal, every single text fails at least twice. Really starting to wear on my nerves.

I have the same problem with my phone. I just got an Infuse less than 2 weeks ago. Before that I had an HTC Aria, a Palm Pre Plus, and an iPhone 3G. None of those phones had problems with the mCell from AT&T or texts, but my Infuse immediately had trouble sending texts, and only on the mCell. I guess the Infuse and the microcell don't play nice together. Wonder if AT&T will fix it? We'll probably have better luck with a dev figuring it out for us first.
I had the same issue with MicroCell with the phone on WIFI. Once I turned of the wifi, the message usually sends without a hitch. Maybe it has something to do with the cellular connection not staying alive while on wifi with the microcell?

I think I tried this already, with no luck, but I'll try again once I get back home.
Sometimes it took a few seconds after I disabled WiFi, but it solves the problem 90% of the time for me.

It also sometimes happens minus the microcell, which leads me to believe it has something to do with WiFi.... personally
You may be on to something with the wifi. I have tried it for the past two days without wifi on and all of my texts have gone through. Could just be a coincidence, I'm going to do some more testing in the next few days to see what happens turning wifi back on and off.

Had the same problem on my phone as well, was worried i messed up my kernal or something like that... worked like a charm. thanks!!!
Is there different messaging center #'s? I reverted back to stock so I could do the ota update to the new firmware, then I installed the community kernel and somehow it erased that #. I input the 1321....# and it works like a charm now. I dont want to get hit with any fees or surprises so just wanted to make sure the messaging center # was the same for all phones.

[[Q]] Infuse 4g and Microcell

I have been using a Microcell since it was released by ATT. I have use 2 Blackberrys, 1 IPhone, 3 Androids and 1 Blackjack phone with it and have had zero issues.
We currently have 3 Androids using it..1 HTC Inspire, 1 Atrix4g and now my Infuse. We have no issues with any of the phones communicating except the Infuse.
The Infuse works fine as far as Voice calls go. Data and Text messages are a disaster however. About 20 times a day I send texts from home, where my microcell is. About half of them fail....so I resend and resend and resend...sometimes up to 10 times before the message gets sent. I am certain that there is some sort of issue between the Microcell and the Infuse 4g but I have no clue what it could be. I have tried every ROM, Kernel, and Modem I could find but all seem to have the same issues.
Has anyone else had this issue?
What other solutions would you try?
Thanks in advance.

The Microcells are very hit or miss depending on what device you are using. I have a client that has 2 Microcells and one of them we have had no problems with. The other one is replaced and still having issues connecting to it. ATT said that if there is even a hint of normal cell signal it won't connect to the MCell. I don't buy it but my experience with the MCells has been disappointing at best.

I dont know about texting, as i rarely use texting. but I do miss incoming calls. Out going is fine.
but when some one calls me, i dont receive any ring, but the caller listen a ring sound, and it looks like i am ignoring his calls.
If he leaves a voice message, i know that some one called, else its like no one called me.

All incoming calls going straight to voicemail

This started happening 3 days ago.. My gf had to call me 8 times last night before she got through to my phone.. I don't know wtf is causing this but i'm pretty sure its not the phone or ROM. Also at times incoming texts come in late.. My apn is set correctly.. Any help would be appreciated

When I'm blocking someone its on purpose and I use call master. If there is a problem with connectivity I can reset the radio layer or reset the telephony service. This might be an idea just to have the ability reset the radios at different levels in order to clarify the problem
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
How do I reset the radio? And I do not have anyone blocked or call forwarding enabled
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I use a call blocking app like call master or root call blocker. It allows in the setting to reset the radios individually.

Believe it or not removing the sim sometimes works as it registers/unregisters you from the network.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Just flashed stock radio and same issue.. Tried the Sim card removal twice last night too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
edit----if nothing else helps try reflashing. If that doesn't work get new sim(no charge if you say it is defective ) make sure your reflash stock rom.
If that doesn't work, send in for trade under one year warrenty.

are u in Canada or on rogers network? Did you flash an ATT from?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes im in canada on rogers network (rogers is only in canada) I flashed sky coke rom, before that was on quickwiz which i had no issues with
maybe that ROM had trouble with Rogers network. I would contact the developer and seek some sort of resolution

Went back to a rogers based rom and same ****... which leads me to believe it aint the ROM or the phone.. ****
Is it prepaid? I know sometimes prepaid have issues
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
No its a monthly plan. I called up rogers tech support and he had me change the network mode to gsm only and he tried calling and it went through, then hspa and same thing with data on.. went to gsm/hspa/lte auto and with data on the call went through fine.. as soon as I got off the phone, I tried calling my number and calls stopped going.. (put it back to gsm only and it started working even with data on, but when its on LTE with data on is when it starts screwing up) does that mean when its connecting to an lte tower its messing up? Is that my phone's issue or the towers? Is there anything I can flash to the phone to see if the problem goes away.. already flashed stock radio but didnt help
Same issue here. Att user. Sky ics rom.

any fix??? it just started happening like four days ago and never had this issue before.
This is a known issue, at least in Canada with Rogers. It has nothing to do with what rom or Kernel you are using.
It appears that Rogers is having intermittent issues with the LTE network. It comes from the handoff between LTE and 4g when a voice call is received. After you hang up, you are supposed to go back to LTE automatically. But with this glitch sometimes the phone will get stuck and as a result you get no texts and calls going straight to voicemail.
You could try creating a new APN node for 3g/4g only and using that to see if it solves your problem while Rogers is actually becoming aware of the issue and fixing it.

Last night alone it took 40 minutes for a text from my wife's phone to arrive. And that was only because I turned my phone on and wifi kicked on!
Thank you for your response. So they are aware of this issue? Also, what should the settings be for a new APN?

[SPRINT] Can't send MMS

Posted in Networking as that seemed more appropriate, but I couldn't find a delete button, so if a mod could take care of this..
Thank you!
The issue has been happening to me recently (as well as my girlfriend, also on Sprint) that we cannot send MMS messages.
My phone is an Epic 4g Touch on AOKP and rooted, hers is a Nexus S 4g running stock.
No idea what is causing the issue, but whenever we try to send an MMS to someone it just sits there saying "Sending..." until it possibly errors out.

Cricket is having similar issues and they roam on sprint. I wonder if sprint also uses cricket towers.

My friends cant hear me on the first call

Does anyone else experience this? Sometimes I'll make a call, or get a call and neither the caller or myself can hear anything. After a second attempt things seem fine. The problem is intermittent. Anyone else get this?

I am returning my Sprint GS5, They can't get my phone to take calls. My phone goes straight to voicemail.I told them i don't want it anymore.
When I get a call it's like that. Taking it back tomorrow. It's spotty and intermittent at best. Disappointed so far. Hopefully the replacement will work
