is anyone having issues not receiving picture messages?
I had my sim in a sgs 4g yesterday morning and was receiving pics as recently as 11am yesterday. My G2x came in around 2pm yesterday and i immediately popped the sim into it when it came in and know for a fact that i have been sent several pics from phones on tmo, att, vzw. none of which are coming in to me.
I can send one to myself and receive it, Ive factory data reset the G2x, called customer support and had all of the network troubleshooting done, activated a new unused sim and still nothing.
So finally i popped the sim into a MT4G and immediately received 4 pictures! this sucks to me because i love the G2x already and i'm wondering if it's just mine or if anybody else is having these issues, or if anyone knows a fix?
fwiw - i rooted using SOC and have not deleted any apps

I have had my Infuse for about 2 weeks now. From the day I got it, I noticed it would completely lock up and start vibrating. Last week i noticed the sim card was getting hot. This morning I was using it with no problems. I set it on the table, and when I picked it up to use it, the phone was showing a "No Sim" message. I have removed the sim and rebooted several times, but it still says "No Sim." Is my phone pretty much shot?

Wow, never heard of that before. Even if there is a fix for your issues id bring it back, since its only 2 weeks old the store should exchange right in the store. If you wait past 30 days than you may have to send it out for warrenty replacement.

Thanks Nash. The only problem is this phone was a replacement phone that my cousin got when he had problems with his first Infuse. They day this one arrived I traded my iPhone 4 for this Infuse. I'm not sure if AT&T will even do anything at this point. Looks like I might have to send it back to Samsung.
I forgot to mention that I am using the SIM card from my iPhone 4. It is smaller then the actual SIM card slot on the phone. I just took the card out and re-centered it, and now it works. I'm thinking I need to go in and upgrade my SIM card. I'll still take it in for the other problems, but for now at least I can make calls.
The first thing i would suggest would be the sim card. I have also had good luck with att's warranty center on the phone. I bought a samsung captivate from craigs list. The service rep said my account said I got the phone in like November (mind you I don't call att and change my imei unless with an upgrade). Told them I had the random shutdown problem and they replaced it no questions asked.

Yes you should replace your ip4 sim for one that fits, only thing is- I'm sure att will change your number from iphone to Infuse, with that pending, I'm not sure if samsung will warrenty that phone since you weren't origianlly contracted to that phone, I could be wrong. I do know that att can downgrade your data package by switching phones. I bought my gf an inspire from craigslist, I was told that att was releaseing an update for inspires to have "unknown sourses" but you had to call and request it. I called and when they asked for my account info and phone number they noticed that phone number went to a samsung captivate. I said that phone broke so I picked up a replacement. They said they would have to change account from captivate to Inspire, I said go a head. Than they told me said I'm having work done to a non contracted phone, I will loose my unlimited data. I said touch my data and I'm gone to verizon...cancel my request. I later called back and explained, they left me alone and updated my phone. Kinda messed up what att can or try to do to your account.

Thanks for the info guys. I just landed in San Diego and walked over to the At&t store near the hotel. They replaced the similar card with no questions asked for free. Nothing changed on my account. The sales Rep said his Infuse has the same freeze with the vibrating problem as well.
You need to go make a full size similar card, or get one from at&t

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!! its around the sim card right hand side gets really hot too
I just purchased the sII skyrocket 2 weeks back. About every 2 days the phone would stop receiving calls. When i get a call it would ring a half ring and then at the top where it shows the signal would have a no sign on it like there was no service. Once its goes in to this mode it would stay in it until i reboot the phone. The problem is that i never actually know who is calling because it never logs a missed call. This is the first i have seen this on any andriod phone. Here is some additional info, Stock Rom, Phone is rooted, i have the following apps frozen using TBP
Allshare
At&T code canner
At&T hotspots
At&T navigator
At&T ready 2 Go
Featured Apps
Kies Air
Kies via Wifi
Kobo
NFC service
NFC Test
QIK Lite
QuickOffice
Social Hub
Tethering Manager
Any thoughts? I should add that its not specific to one contact it will happen to anyone that calls, i have tested this calling from my wifes cell to mine when it was in this mode and saw it happen constantly. Rebooted sitting in the same place phone received calls.
no feedback yet from community but i thought i would post an updated.
I contacted AT&T that suggested it could be the SIM card, I went to the store tonight and changed out my SIM. I will update this if the issue goes away so in case some one has something similar they know what a potential fix could be.
Interesting.
Did you get a new SIM card when you get the Skyrocket as well?
I know they issued me a new SIM card at purchase because of the LTE upgrade.
yep they gave me a new sim card when i purchased it said the old one wasn't compatible. So the one i just received replaced the new one that is about 10 days old.
just to update this, this seemed to have fully fixed my issue.. since i swapped the sim there have been no issue
Your SIM was probably dying out, it happens.
Glad to see your issue was fixed, I was thinking you were having LOS, same as the Sprint SGS II.
Yesterday, I received a new StraightTalk MicroSIM (ATT compatible) for my new Nexus 5. I have been using a StraightTalk T-Mobile compatible one that I used in my old phone. I activated the new SIM, using the automated phone system. This morning I saw that my phone still had no service. That is, zero bars, I cannot make calls or text. Of course data doesn't work either. I logged into my account and it said that the transfer to the new SIM is complete. So I called StraightTalk and was transferred 5 times to people who did the same trouble shooting with me every time. Their trouble shooting: power off your phone, take out your SIM and then start it back up. Then they said they need to send me a new SIM card.... Here is my issue, I feel like they don't know what they are doing so their answer is just to send me another SIM.
My question: Did anyone else have this experience or ideas on getting the phone to work? I've tried different APNs with no different results.
Okay, this is odd. I figured, since I won't have phone service for a while, I would root my phone. After I rooted my phone, everything works. I can make calls and data works. Not sure what changed but when the device was rooted, it also did a factory reset. After 50 minutes of crappy customer service, I think I'll just take the new SIM card they are sending.
Takes a while for them to activate it sometimes. I was with customer services for 2 hours trying to activate my Sim card because it wouldn't let me online.
Their customer service, signal penetration might suck, but it's way cheaper, which I'm good with.

I wonder if maybe that is what happened but I think it probably had to do with the factory reset.
I do want to post one final thing since everything has played out today... On the phone I asked them to expedite the package since this is my work phone and ONLY phone. Today, FedEx delivered a new SIM card... it was the card only. No other packaging or information. It was the wrong SIM... I needed a micro and they sent a regular SIM... but at least they tried. After receiving the SIM today, I don't feel so bad about the situation. Things may have been different if my phone didn't miraculously start working. I would have had to cut down the regular sized SIM... to find out if it is an ATT or Tmobile version... it's probably the Tmobile versions, since I ordered the ATT version. Thats how things go... have a good day!
READ THE NEXT POST FOR CONTINUED ISSUES
*** I'm going to keep posting my experience, in case anyone else can find the information useful. ***
My service should have Auto-Refilled today. However, when I went to make a call, I found out my service was deactivated. I thought maybe Auto-Refill was disabled when I transferred to the new microSIM. Unfortunately, after spending another 45 minutes on the phone with customer service, I found out that they activated the replacement SIM that they sent me... the one that doesn't fit my phone and appears to be a Tmobile SIM. So, instead of just re-activating the microSIM that was working yesterday, they have to send me another one. I confirmed with them that they will be sending an AT&T compatible microSIM. We will see what I receive.
My problem is, other carriers don't get any texts but can get phone calls from me and I can, get there texts from them and they dont get my replies. Anyone on sprint gets them. A few of my friends have AT&T and they been getting on my s#&t why I never text them back.
I show them that I have msgd them back.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Phone is stock not rooted and my girlfriend is still on an S3 and she don't have this problem.
My dad is on AT&T and has no problem receiving sms/mms. I got a friend on Verizon and another 2 on Straight Talk. No one has issues receiving my texts or mms.

Sprint is sending me a new phone. I couldn't figure it out and they couldn't either
Welp got the new phone and the same problem. Sprint can't fix so they have me a 72 hour window for some one from tech support to call me.
Has no one had this issue ever?
Turns out I was blocked by AT&t and T-Mobile. Don't ask how but it's fixed now
Just got a new z5 - I'm in the US on AT&T. This didn't seem to be a problem until last night, but now I'm having messages take between 5 minutes and 2 hours to come into my phone. People are still getting my sent messages instantly. Never experienced this problem on my old phone (2013 Moto X using same sim card), so I'm guessing it's not the carrier but the phone itself.
Also, restarting my phone seems to cause all the backed up messages to come in at once. Really annoying problem, wondering if anyone can help.
I switched my sim card back to my old phone and a bunch of messages came flooding in. Asked friends to test texting me with sim card in each phone - texts came instantly on old phone and way delayed on z5. Already disabled iMessage. I've tried using Textra, the messenger app that comes with the phone, and Google messaging and all have the same outcome.
It's a known issue with AT&T and phones that are not AT&T branded, especially Sony phones. The IMEI shows up as an old flip phone, there is a thread about it in the Z3 section. They will all come on time if you toggle off LTE, try it.

If you still have trouble, call AT&T and give them the IMEI off of one if your old AT&T LTE devices and the issue should be resolved. I had the problem on my Z3 but not on Z5 because I updated IMEI.
