Sms Bug. Urgent help needed!

I have a problem in my phone. If i send a text(SMS) to a person it gets delivered to a completely different person, Whose thread is not even present in the messaging app.I have tried factory reset, wipe data, root/unroot etc.. It did not work so i finally approached samsung, They claimed it was a problem with the motherboard and they replaced it. Now five days after getting back my phone with a new motherboard the problem has returned.
Any ideas why this is happening? Anyone else has this issue?
Also the bug returns 5 days after the factory reset/wipe/reinstalling andriod. Not immediately.
Phone is I9020t.

Well i know Sprint, we can do *#*#data#*#* in the dialer and then choose edit. Then under "others" MMSC url is an option and has an address. Get with another tmobile member and see if yours says the same. Might not even have this option. I would check it out

Have you check with your service provider?

Yeah, The problem is not with the service provider, Because i put my sim card in other Android phones and i did not experience the problem. So think the problem is only on the phone.

That is really strange. I dont know much about GSM. Seems like the phone isnt loading all your info from your sim card

ICS on Rogers Caller ID coming up as unknown

Hey all,
I'm using mhx's stock debloated ICS rom flashed through CWM coming from SKYICE GB.
So far all my incoming calls are showing up as unknown since I flashed this rom. I haven't tried any of the other ICS roms as of yet. I'm with Rogers.
Is there a fix for this?

as a prev rogers rep i must ask the stupid but obv question
do you have call display or a valuepack?
I am running the smooth ics and no issues so far.

I think it's something to do with ICS and not the modem because when I reflash skyice GB I didn't change the modem back and my caller ID started working again.

i have the same problem as you, my id display doesnt work any fix ?

I've been doing some searching and have found that rogers and fido are the only carriers that have caller id with name and number display. Other carriers just have caller id with number display. Problems android users may experience are name/number coming up as unknown, pay phone, or has the number but says unknown name. Other android users have been fixing this problem by calling rogers and disabling name display leaving you with basic caller id which only shows the number if the person is not in your contacts list. If they are in your contacts list it will show their name aswell. I haven't tried this for myself though.
Common words that came up when I was searching this is RIL and CNAP (Call Name Presentation)
Another fix I was reading is that it has to be built into the rom to understand caller id with name display. On the Galaxy Nexus board they talking about something called CNAP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419175
I was thinking maybe pulling whatever it is that is needed from the rogers gingerbread rom and putting it into the ics rom to make it but work if that's even possible I have no idea.
I remember having this problem on my old LG EVE and the temporary fix was to call rogers and disable name display but I just waited for a fix instead.

LeeC's ICSradio.zip
I was having the same problem earlier after I flashed mhx's ICS-Superlite-4.2 with the radio included in that OP. The baseband came up but caller IDs didn't work. So I tried fixing it by flashing the Stock Bell Note radio I717MUGLA2, still nothing. And this time the baseband said unknown as well. But keep in mind both flashes had no problem with dialing and receiving calls. Just the caller IDs weren't coming up.
Finally I flashed LeeC's ICSradio.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24140728&postcount=5), and accidentally clicked on fix permission in recovery, and now caller ID's working just fabulously. I'm not sure what exactly fixed it (LeeC's radio? Flashing ICSradio after the Bell one? Or randomly fixing permission?). Either way, something to try for my fellow Rogers people.

So was it the radio or the permission that fixed it? It only happens to me when people call from landlines.

Can't tell ya. I flashed the radio and as I was navigating out of the touch recovery I accidentally clicked on fix permission. Not sure if it's the combination of both or one of them worked. I just tried calling my phone with landline and caller ID comes up fine now.

This is a good topic. Been having the same issue. This should've neen brought up in the ICS-Superlite thread though for better answers and results. I stumblled across this one by mistake

I'm having the same issue on Rogers. I flashed NexusMod ICS on it last night (my second xda rom) and both have the same issue. I get about 30% of my callers showing up correctly, all the rest are "unknown".
Would love to know about a fix if anyone finds one. I will try that fix permissions fix in touch recovery.
update: The fix permissions did nothing

As steven said its a cross between that name display feature and something with the leak. if the radio/fix permissions fix doesn't work the other fix is to call rogers and tell them to disable name display. I had to do that with my atrix as it was a bell device.

Except it's not just an ICS-Superlite issue.

Thanks All!
I had posted about this in a different forum but wasn't getting any replies.
I can Verify that if you call Rogers and ask to have the name portion excluded from the caller ID this problem is fixed. Just called and while I got a few questions as to why they were able to do it and now numbers show up!
YEAH!!! Thanks so much steeven01

It works fine for landlines with me too but calls from other cell phones always come up unknown.
I've tried what you said you did and no luck I've tried with the Note I717MUGLA2 modem and it gets no signal and is unknown baseband, I've tried with the new Note UCLC5 ICS modem no luck with caller id but everything else worked fine, I tried the original rogers modem but it gets no signal and is unknown baseband. I've tried fixing permissions after each modem and no luck. Are you sure your caller id is working for you when you receive calls from cell phones?
I think I'm just going to get rid of the damn name display.
Also no problem JoeSmoo I'm glad I finally helped someone on these forums.

Need help

I was on Liquidsmooth ROM. Every thing was working fine until I crossed the border to Canada that is when I tried to make a call n I noticed that I had no signal no data. Went into wireless settings and under network mode it was on -home only- tried to change it but it wouldn't stick. Since then I flashed a couple other ROMs no change then I ODINed back to stock factory but still no change. When I'm in USA everything works fine when I cross into Canada I loose signal n data. I think I'm stuck in -home only- mode cause my phone is not switching into roaming. When in mobile networks settings under Roaming it says Not roaming. In Phone Status under Mobile network type it says unknown Service state -out of service-.
I have my phone #
My ERI Verizon is 5
My. IMEI is fine ( the usual #s)
My IMEISV. is 00
Can anyone help please . I cross the border 2-3 Times a week for a day or 2 n I need it to work in Canada for business n personal use. So please Help

I also tried reflashing the radios but that didn't help either. I upgraded through OTA after Odin to stock factory still no change. Everything works fine when I'm in USA but no data and no cel signal in Canada.
And yes I'm talking about my S3. The Charge is my backup phone.

I guess no-one has any ideas how to unfreez from -home only- wireless network and get the phone roaming.

I'll be checking back once a day maybe someone figures this out b4 me thanks.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

To clarify, Everything was working fine until you flashed LiquidSmooth?
And then when you flashed other ROMs, and back to the stock ROM, you couldn't get services back to normal, which you had prior to flashing other than your stock ROM?
If the above is accurate, after you experienced your issues, did you flash back to the Nandroid you made prior to installing LiquidSmooth?
Or did you Always have issues when going into Canada?
I found this for now:

The only thing I can think of is try repro visioning your phone with the dialer code. I can't remember it right now, but you can find it with Google. It may not help at ask, but it's worth a shot. I've heard it does reset your phone so have a backup of any data you want to keep.

Yeah a problem which has nothing to do with His imei sv which I simply stated its supposed to be 00,maybe he flashed mix max radios and modems or didn't pay his bill bit all I said was the 00 is supposed to be there naturally

A few weeks ago I: woke up not able to make calls, txts, or receive calls, txts.
4g worked fine and I had full bars and was not roaming.
my phone number showed up correctly and my IMEI was correct.
I brought it to VZW (being an fool, left TWRP recovery on it) and when they went to do a factory reset they booted into TWRP (LOL!)
anyway, after trying to give me a new SIM Card, and about 45 mins with the manager on tech support they offered a refurb, I said hell no as the phone was maybe 15 days old tops. Another 30 mins later the manager offered me a new phone but had to be shipped.
This was on new years eve none the less, so no phone on new years eve day and night, and the next day, hell no again.
so I kindly asked to give me a new phone from the store, considering I've been in there 2 hours.
The manager was very cool, and very nice and she gladly switched me out after taking a look at my records, and how much money we pay to them per month, and also how long we have been with them. (since before it was called VZW)

I think y'all missed he flashed a 4.2 based. So go into mobile network settings and CDMA subscription and make sure it's dey to sim. If that doesn't work Odin the ICS root66 and then disk the repro vision code

OK, I am gonna attempt to help you here. First I would do what the above poster has posted. If that doesn't work (It probably won't) then you can try to rewrite your imei using this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442
I and others have had mixed results using this tool, so there is no guarantee. If that doesn't work them you need to Odin back to stock, call vzw tech support and play dumb.
Always, Always make a back up of your phone imei. There is a really easy to use script written by the synergy team that will do it for you

I'm not sure where in the process of flashing but I noticed that my reception was weak compared to stock and then I couldn't send outgoing text or calls all together. I've searched everywhere and I have seen similar issues/symptoms but non of the fixes have worked for me. Here's my current setup.

Have you tried odining back to stock? Somewhere along the way from AOSP back to TW you might have lost/changed some sys data.

Feels like it lost the IMEI, even if it looks correct. Getting stuck on roaming and possibly the weird phone number may mean that's what went wrong.

I was able to Odin back to a stock unrooted 4.0.4 rom but it did not fix the issue. Is there a good way to restore IMEI?

Did you try to reprovision after you used Odin to get back to stock 4.04? A lot of people have had success after doing that, including myself. Be warned, it will completely wipe your phone.

I'm somewhat new to this and have no clue what "Reprovision" does. I found this comment on one post "reprovision your device with dialer code *2767*3855#". When I dialed this it said that when roaming that you have to use an area code and then hangs up? I really hope I don't have to dish out $600 to Verizon! I'm at a loss right not.

You need to enable the hidden menu before you can use the reprovision code. Dial *#22745927 and enable the hidden menu. Now the reprovision code should work. You shouldn't have to hit send at the end of the code. It should work as soon as you enter the last digit. This is assuming you are still on ICS.

I think I found a thread that has solved this for me.
So I don't know if we have the same issue or not. But I got mine working for now. Don't know if I'll run into problems later, but this is how I got it working right now.
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated. So it works now. Hooray!
But I REALLY really want to know what happened. So I can avoid this happening again in the future. Can anyone tell me what happened, and why this fixed it? And how to prevent it happening again as a flash more ROMs in the future?
Also, SpecePatriot, let me know if that works for you. It'd be good to have more than one source to know that works.

OMG THANK YOU GUYS!! This thread saved my sanity! I had flashed the latest MIUI 4.1.2 and wasn't a big fan so I flashed my backup and *POOF* no data! I had no clue how it happened (still don't fully understand it), tried every basic "go-to fix" in the book, and scoured the forums for two days without luck. The suggestions in Pozman1's last thread post to flash back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM and the I535VRLHE radio did the trick! The only thing I had to do differently was use the *#7780# Factory Reset Code instead of the *2767*3855# Reprovisioning Code, for whatever reason that code just wouldn't work. Anyway, thanks again!

Thanks!
I spent all last night and most of this morning trying to figure out what was wrong with my phone. I was not connecting to the network and went through the forums searching for the solution to my problem. I odin'ed, flashed, prayed, hoped and then did it all over again all the way back to 4.04. until I landed here.
I was finally ready to give up, so I went to the Verizon site to see if my IMEI was listed and if it matched my phone. Both my phone and my wife's phone were different than the phones we actually have. I got on chat with verizon support and they fixed it right up. I got my 4g back. Now, I'm updating my way back up to the present.
I've been able to solve every problem I've had by lurking/searching these forums. I've been doing this for a couple years now. I really should have registered and started thanking people a long time ago. I have bought apk's off of google play and donated some beer money, but probably not enough. After I post this, I'll take some time and spread the thanks I owe.
I've registered and planted this response here so that if someone else is having the same problem, they might think to go check their account and make sure they've actually got the same phone their carrier thinks they do. Sometimes, it helps to start with the simple stuff.
Thanks to everyone!
