hello everyone, I've been having problems with my sim card since friday, after I flashed cyanogen, and I believe the kernel mod by netarchi, I wasn't able to send text messages, even tho I could receive and make phone calls, receive sms and use internet.
I called my carrier and they told me that everything was normal, we tried everything and it was just not working everything was pointing at the phone, I tried putting my sister sim card and it worked. we were able to send text messages, i tried my sim card in my sister phone and it was sending sms too... so I went to one of my carrier offices and they gave me a new sim card, and now it's fixed, even tho they told me that it was my phone's fault.
so now I wonder, do u guys think that maybe I bricked my sim card, while flashing a file, (baseband specially) I know it sounds totally weird but is the only logical explanation to me.
or it could just be a coincidence.
it probably is just a coincidence, you should also check your APNs and things like that.
I've had that problem before. Rather then give you a new sim, they could have just repushed yours over the air. A reboot of the phone and it was fixed. The problem is caused by you trying to update the wrong sms number to the sim card. (done in the phone info screen). Leave the sms number alone.

Able to receive text messages. But unable to send even a simple thank you message. I tried "factory reset" two more times, but no breakthrough. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
It sounds like you have a APN issue. My suggestion would be to find the APN settings from another Android device (preferably something similar to the A2) and copy them over.
If that doesn't work, try resetting one more time and starting the phone without the SIM card in and then installing the SIM card.
APN couldn't be am issue, as this is posted from my A2. Also I'm able to call and receive text msg. Moreover I got the APN settings pushed from my service provider's Web site after the first reset. That reset w/o SIM is interesting, as the SIM was kept in the phone for all resets. I'll try that.
Sometimes these sim cards can cause some very strange issues. My sim from my old OG ATRIX wouldn't work in my new A2. And neither would my gf's . But a quick trip to my nearest AT&T store and a new sim card fixed everything. If yours is bad your nearest provider should have you a new one free of charge
Figured out the same. Removed my SIM, popped in a Reliance SIM, and all three unsent msgs were auto sent (those guys will be cursing me now). Put my sim in another Moto, tried sending an sms, it didn't go. So, visiting bsnl customer care office tomorrow to change SIM. Will post then. Thank s to both of you for taking some time off to post.
Couldn't get a replacement SIM, as BSNL staff are on strike. Will try to get a new one tomorrow.
Its solved !
Didn't get a replacement SIM. BSNL customer care gave me a number as the number to be set for message center. Couldn't locate that feature in A2. Put my Sim in good old L7 and fed the message center number in outbox settings. Now message was delivered (from L7) ! Put it back in A2, composed & sent a msg, bingo, msg delivered !!
I never thought a phone could program the SIM. BTW how to do it in A2 ?
Ok, so I flashed the Unofficial CyanogenMod to my Galaxy Ace, and it runs great, and I found out how to import my contacts from the SIM Card. Everything like Texts, Calls, Voicemail, and Caller ID work, but for some reason in the Notification drop down bar, the service carrier which should show "Koodo" shows "302220" instead, which I assume is their carrier ID number.
Is there a way to fix that, because this happened before I knew how to import contacts on another ROM, which I think is another issue, because shouldn't it automatically load them off my SIM card because they are stored there? When I flash back to the stock Koodo firmware they show up automatically...
Bump... I really need an answer, would a screenshot help?
UPDATED
I´ve just been using the HTC ONE X for about 4 days and I´ve been receiving hundreds of repeated msgs from my carrier. They say "Vivo RJ 21" (Vivo is the carrier, RJ stands for Rio de Janeiro...the city, and 21 is the area code for Rio de Janeiro). I´ve already tried several factory resets with no luck. I´ve also tried a micro sim card from a different carrier and I kept receiving the same msg (except for the carrier name). I´ve received other regular msgs from my carrier and from other people that were not repeated. It´s just this one.
What are my options here????
Do you still have the same number ported over? If so then maybe it might be a glitch in there system. If not then it might be spam from the poor person before you. Either way either get a block on that or call carrier to stop it.
The worst part is that I cannot even block this number because whenever I try to add the number to the Mr.Number app it tells me to add a valid number. The number is only 2 digits...it´s 50
Looks like it would be best to either call them or go in store and ask them to test the phone. Sounds more like a software hiccup, but who know? Hope you don't have to receive that many texts tomorrow
But do you guys think there is a chance this could be phone related?
I might just try to get a micro-sim to sim card adapter and test it another phone to see if it still happens.
Its a broadcast message
U can stop it in message setting
It will not harm u
Press thanks
Or u can give me ur one x as a gift
How do I stop that in settings? I´ve tried everything and I don´t think it´s that simple.
It must be getting close to 200 messages.
Just go to your carrier already! Or if nothing works, then do a barrel roll~
Don´t you think I would have gone to the carrier if it wasn´t closed during the weekends! I´ve already called them 3 times and they did different things. The last thing they did I was supposed to wait 24h.
What is a barrel roll?
Can you remove the SIM and use the phone without it? If not then try finding some other app that blocks numbers... maybe one that supports blocking operator numbers?
as said before carrier messages can be blocked...I'm assuming a battery pull did nothing?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok, just let me know how. So far I´ve tried about 7 differente text/spam blockers apps and none has worked.
The HTC One X´s batt cannot be removed.
Do you have message settings
Just check there might be option of broadcast message
Keep our forum clean
I do have message settings but there are no options there that would help me with this (only stuff like notification types, signature, forward to email, etc).
Today I´m going to the store where I got the micro sim card to have it changed. I REALLY hope it works because it would be a real shame if this was the HTC One X and not the micro sim card.
When I go to "about the phone", then "network" it shows:
operator name - unkown
signal strenght - 0
mobile network type - unkown
service state - radio off
roaming - not roaming
Nonetheless I can make and receive calls, send and receive text msgs, navigate, etc. The only issue is really the operator msgs informing my city area code over and over again.
I went to the carrier and got a new micro sim and did a factory reset WITH the micro sim card inside the phone. The date above got populated. I will wait to see if I will get anymore msgs but I think this might be it.
I´ve tried with a micro sim card from a different carrier and the problem persists. This is phone related for sure. I really don´t know what else to do...maybe try a different rom other then the stock?
I´ve called HTC again and they instructed me to do the following:
-> "settings", "call" and then disable the option "cell broadcast".
So far no msgs. Lets wait and see.
Hello all, I have a samsung galaxy s4 model # i377m that was locked to bell. I purchased a unlock code for the phone and used a Kooko-(telus) sim card to enter the code. The code was successful however when I put my bell sim card back in the phone I can't send or receive phone calls properly. The dialer app opens and I can see my call history and browse my contacts but when I go to place a call the phone goes buggy, it will place the call but my screen goes black and I can't hear or be heard on the receiving end. It's really weird because everything else on the phone works, I have full reception and have the ability to send and receive txt and use data. The phone has a custom rom Cyanogenmod 12. I thought the rom had something to do with it so I downloaded and installed the stock firmware and I still had the same problem. At this point I have put cm12 back on the phone and must wait until someone can help me. I'm really lost for words.
Thanks for taking the time out of you're day to help me
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Have you tried inserting a different SIM into the device?
Hi, first time posting here, so tell me if I miss anything out. After a few weeks of using my phone I've ran into a problem that it can't make or receive calls and neither sends nor receives sms messages, but mobile data works just fine. The only momentary solution I've found so far is placing my sim card into a different slot and not setting it to 3g/4g, then the calls and sms work properly, but it automatically sets to 3g/4g some time later. Have sent the phone to warranty repairs and they just reinstalled my android, which didn't help any. Also the sim card is not the problem since it works in other devices and no card works in the honor I have. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Bump(?) :')
