this text message failed bug is making me want to throw this thing! - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

is anyone still experiencing this sms failed sending crap after flashing or updating to KD1? I thought KD1 was supposed to fix this issue. Happens to me at least a few times a day. Very annoying!!

It happened to me only one time right after I flashed kd1 but hasn't done it since.

The way around it is to edit the number and reenter it without any spaces...let me know if that worked

kc1 was horrible with that failure text
kd1 is suppose to fix it however:
SOMETIMES when i go into handcent not the quick reply and i just exit handcent before the message sends all the way through it will fail, but that is only once in a great while usually i can just leave handcent and it will go through

Simple Mobile
I just wanted to let u guys know that when i had T-mobile i was expiriencing this but i switched my service to Simple Mobile which is cheaper at $60.00 a month for unlimited everything. Simple Mobile has a contract with T-mobile to use their towers so i don't understand why it stopped when i switched? Best part is the service is identical to T-mobile cause the towers are T-Mobiles but the price is like $20 a month cheaper!!

oh wow, i thought i was the only one with this problem. it was happening to me several times a day every day. i'm on my third galaxys4g (one was replaced, the other was stolen, this is my third) and it seems to be better, but it sucks that the hardware replacement is the only thing that has seemed to work on it so far.

yeah, this was discussed over in the vibrant section to some extent. basically what came out of it was that you need to remove all special characters from your phone numbers.
for example: (555) 555-5555 will give you the "error in server response"
however: 5555555555 will not give you the "error in server response"

Wiping efs/radio partitions

With other phones I had, there were scripts to wipe the eds/radio/GPS partitions in between roms and it made sure that you would not have data problems and it kept everything fast. Has anyone or could anyone make us one?

OMG go figure. Literally hours after posting this my data is now busted. Wifi works mobile only works intermittently. With other phones this was almost ALWAYS fixed by wiping the aforementioned partitions. Is everyone just ignoring me or do we have so little dev left that no one in the know has seen the OP?

ROMs for this device don't flash the radio. If you zeroed out the radio you F'd up your phone something good. Nobody has figured out how to reflash the radio on this device. Also, we never touch EFS. That is a big no-no and another way to F'up your phone. Sounds like you nuked it something good.

I have the same thing, where it is not showing my phone number in the about phone. I also have to reset the radio at-least once a day to get data back. (Go to airplane mode and back) The cell works fine though... Weird, never had this problem with original GB rom. There must be another cache partition that needs clearing?
that, I have no idea but my girl had data problem for 2wks now and no rep seemed to know the answer.. I had 3 replacement phones for her and nothing, 2 new sim cards nothing.. My last option of my own was to change number, and guess what.. It works now. By the way, problem was data would stop, browser would redirect me to web2go and say I have no data plan and 1.99 charge to continue. just a reboot would fix it but its a hassle. Well, changing numbers helped.. Something deffinetly went wrong with that other line or something.

[Q] SMS Limit again...

I just switched from the Motorola Atrix 4G Unlocked/Rooted and used several different custom ROMS. When I got this phone I was able to easily remove the SMS limit with elitebomb app....
However....
Yesterday I bought a Samsung Infuse 4g. I rooted and installed elitebomb app the button for removing the limit is grayed out. I am definantly rooted...
Any Ideas?
**** you must really text a lot if you worried about sms limit.
I have 30 to 40 guys that work for me on any given day. I communicate with them by texts...i easy go over 100 in an hour.

SMS limit? make sure that either delete old messages i checked or just not checked at all. if it not checked it will not delete them and that is why it is greyed out. if you check it off it gives you the option to choose after how many to start delete

The SMS limit i am talking about is the amount of text you can send per hour. I am not sure on the Infuse how many it is but the limit on my Atrix was 100, it was easily removed with elitebomb.
On the Infuse I have not been able to remove it at all.
Since when has there been a limit on how many you can send? I text like a monster and have never encountered this demon you speak of.

I send 160+ texts to my wife all the time (we text a lot, lol) and have never had a problem. She's on ATT also but the MMS app has no idea what provider the recipient is using before it sends. I assume it's failing when trying to send and not at some other point (like mms deliver confirmation or something).

Well the weird thing is that it's happened with every new modem and I've tried to send a bunch of 160+ texts. I'll send them to myself as well for confirmation and try don't send. And I text my girlfriend a lot as well, and she's on ATT. I just can't figure this out to save my life, lol.

+1 ... I have had the exact same problem. 160+ character fails to send on any new modem. Last modem that let me was UCKI3, which I got decent speeds with and was pretty stable.
This KK2 is a little faster, the wifi may be just a little more stable... but I miss being able to send long texts
I might make the switch back to KI3 just for the long text message capability...

I've also had issues with every new modem when it comes to the 160+ characters with texting. I'm currently on UCKJ1, its the latest one without the issue and I get great speeds on it. But I always check when a new one comes out and its always there!

Were they long texts? When using the KJ6 modem I've found (And heard of) many people complaining longer texts and picture messages would not send. Try using another modem like KI3 and see if its fixed.

I'm currently having the same issue since I upgraded to the official os. I thought maybe I did something wrong by flashing Dr honks kj1 kernel over this ROM. I even called t-mobile and the rep I spoke with was pretty condescending, but I was at work at the time and didn't wanna get irate before a meeting. If there's more people with this issue, hopefully they'll call so it can be addressed.

Try flashing another modem like my post above ;P
all kj6 and 2.3.6 roms have this problem if its even a problem that is.There is max of 160 or 180 chars you can send. When the numbers start to pop up like 5/1 while typing a long text it will almost always fail. If your typing up a long essay to your friend send it through email other wise sms is for only short messages. sms(short message server). I believe its the Tmobile network that limits this per message and theres ane asy work around of either flashing a different modem or typing short messages below 6 lines.
160 for SMS, and some cdma networks can not send / receive anything over that. You can split some messages in some SMS programs like gosms.
Switching to the ki3 moden has stopped my can't send message, however the other person still received the message even though it said the message failed to send.

I've never had this as an issue until just recentlyand it's not isolated to more than 160, even 2liners fail. CDMA limits your message to 160 chars but GSM network have never to my knowledge set a char cap on sms unless if its been recent.

No, the files that improved the wifi are in the system folder, I separated them and posted a thread in the dev section on how to use those files on any room... Yes you can now have improved wifi on any GB ROM the modem.bin file, from what I've seen only delegates mobile radio

Modem obeservation

So i hear (read) all of these people talking about the issue with the KJ6 modem and not being able to send long SMS. Well, i always scratched my head at this because i never had the problem. I would send 160+ character SMS all day long (well not all day, that's weird).. every now and then i'd get a message fail, but for the most part it worked.
Then i figured it out.... sort of.
The signal bar on my phone, when connected to the network is usually blue.. the 4g will be too... but sometimes its not.. sometimes it's gray...like Borats suite...sorry couldn't resist.
Anyway, when it is blue...i can send long sms.. when it's gray...i can not. So when i am "locked on" to the network i don't seem to have a problem...has anyone else noticed this or am i an anomaly?

The color of the bars and network type just means it is or isn't connected to google servers. Usually grey meaning you arent while any other color means you are

So your saying the problem some people had wasn't necessary due to the modem as they thought, but due to their signal strength. Which of course the modem has an effect on. Or so they say, I've had about the same service no matter what modem I use, maybe the KC area is just a good place.

Same here. Also, the WiFi signal is awful for me with KJ6, and it drains the battery.
I was getting very good results with Sidekick's KJ2 modem. Fixed long SMS issue, and also made instant and huge improvement for WiFi signal strength.
Unfortunately, cannot flash it on CM7 ROM, which I like very much otherwise. I hope it will be made possible one day to flash Sidekick's modems on CM7.
the sidekick modems didn't work very well for me, and had a hard time locking on to a Tmobile signal inside my condo.
KD1 and KI1 were the only modems that could hold a signal at my condo, but the latest KJ6 has been a tad better than both of those for me.
A lot of it depends on your area. Just have to keep trying different modems until you find one that works for you.
