Hey, my girlfriend got a LG optimus Hub phone, like 3 months ago. It was all working fine until like a week before. Once in a while there comes this problem that she can't receive any sms, but she can still send me an sms. When she takes out the sim card and puts it into another phone, all the sms i've sent she receives then. And then when puts the sim back in her phone, she can receive the sms. And then it works fine for like a day, and then the problem starts all over.. What could it be? How to fix it?
Oh, and btw, it's the stock ROM and the phone has only been rooted, nothing else.
Anyone? :S
Has noone really had this problem before? :/

You might just want to try and update your towers.
What carrier are you on?

She's on Tele 2, that's the most popular carrier in Latvia.
Btw, what's towers update? 0.o
In the states you are able to type in a code (usually the same number used for activation) and it will just reconfigure to the cell towers in your area.

Oh no, that's not the case here. We don't really need an activation code here, too. So that's something different.. :/ It happened today, like 2 hours ago, again. We had to put the sim card in another phone and after like 20 mins, we got all the SMS. Then when put the sim back in the LG, it works again. But this happens like everyday. :/ The incoming messages just get stuck, but she can still send them. :/
On some sms/mms stock apps there are settings that if checked can block all outgoing and or incoming sms and mms messages. Check the settings of the app itself and if all else fails there are some really good free 3rd party messaging apps available as a replacement.

Have you applied any updates recently? A buddy of mine installed a carrier update and it made his phone go all wonky. I would suggest backing up her data and doing a factory reset. Factory resets usually always fix software issues like what you're experiencing... Also if you do a backup, start from scratch don't restore any data from the backup as you don't know what is triggering the issue....
It's not the messaging apps fault, that's for sure. Checked that one like tons of times, and tried out other apps, the problem always shows up.
Well I guess that I'll just have to do a factory reset. :/ But could it maybe fix it, by installing another ROM? Like Optimus HUB has an official support for CM7.

Oh no, actually I haven't. I'll try it next time the problem occurs and see if it fixes it!
Anyone got some new ideas what could cause this? :/
The airplane mode toggling doesn't help. :/
I've heard somewhere about something that SIM cards can get old and then this thing happens when they sometimes get stuck and you can't receive sms.
So yeah, my girlfriends SIM is like 5 years old, could that really be the problem?
So, i told my GF to go and ask for a new SIMcard, and that fixed the problem. Basically it was just too old SIM. Im just saying if anyone gets the same problem.

I did an ODIN flashed Gummy_GBE1.9RC1 Rom and then did a CWR flash of the MinimalGummyGBv2.0 theme over. When I went to My Verizon to switch over from my Incredible 2 to my Charge but only the SIM card registered. So now I can access 4G and get online but I can't make phone calls or send SMS/MMS over 1X or 3G.
I called Verizon they said play the waiting game. I've waited for 24 hours, activated my Incredibe again (successfully) then tried the Charge again, multiple times, (different SIMs) with no prevail, still only recieving 4G.
I just flashed the EP1W modem, and got the same results as before...
VZW then suggested a wipe... Took so long to get it the way I wanted it. lol
Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or heard about it before?

I don't quite understand what's going on here with the My Verizon and and Incredible 2?? you had a Charge that you flashed all that to and then tried to switch phones?
When I was first starting with flashing I accidently checked "EFS CLEAR" once. That was real interesting, it caused me to lose all data services like net connection, but still let me make phone calls. I find it very interesting that your problem seems to be the complete opposite. I figured that one out after a while, but if your problem is with phone calls and texts with data working I don't think my solution would help you.
IMO you should just suck it up and odin back to stock, including the charge.pit file, and see if the problem remains.

if nothing's working you may want to follow kamikazemikes option below and get to EE4 stock and have VZ give you a new 4G sim card or a replacement phone... it happens a lot so you shouldn't have a problem doing that

Hi everybody. Hopefully I am posting this in the right section. I have a Tmobile G2x running CM7 nightly 201. I purchased the phone new (ebay) a couple of months ago. The phone has run relatively smoothly since CM7 installation, until yesterday.
Then, suddenly stopped connecting to the voice, data networks. It will connect via wifi, but would not connect/register for data or voice. It is driving me crazy and is now essentially useless. I have tried to reinstall CM7, I performed system restore to stock rom but the problem persists. It must be an issue with phone since my sim card would work in a different phone, and other sim cards will not work on my G2x.
I have tried to use GetRIl to change baseband. I am now running M6600A-SCAUNTZ-2.0.9720T 1 and I am back to stock rom.
Not sure if there is any way to solve this issue. Should I just resign to buy a new phone? Any solution/setting that I am missing? Can I send back to LG/tmobile a phone which has ClockworkMod Recovery on it? Sorry for the many questions.
You said you went back to stock rom, but did you do a complete restore??

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried restoring to original stock, then erasing all user data. I also tried several times wipe data/factory reset from ClockworkMod Recovery menu. Unfortunately no solution.
Wow, have you tried working as a comedian for a living?
May not be what you want to hear, but it is possible the seller sold you a stolen phone and it has be blocked. You may want to go to T-Moble and have it checked out.

This, maybe. Also try getting a new SIM card from tmo.
Also, check the IMEI before buying used phones. Even if your phone doesn't happen to be stolen, this is still a good idea.
Thanks. The phone was new from a 100%, long-time Ebay seller. Is there any official website to check for validity of IMEI?
I am going to check with T-mobile but there is also a thread showing other people with similar issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17660686
Unfortunately, no solution posted. If anybody else has comments/alternative solutions, they will be greatly appreciated.
What can I do to fox this issue? I have tried everything from creating a new APN, factory resetting it, doing the OTA update, up to changing the sim card entirely. All of my network settings are correct, and T-Mo's customer service acts like it's nothing wrong at all, because their stupid troubleshooting tricks are simple commands that an idiot could figure out.
The calls don't receive and won't send only when the 4G symbol is stuck on uploading data.
I have not downloaded any crazy apps or anything, so, that's ruled out. It's not rooted, s-on, stock everything.
Please help.
For how long has your phone been turned on? Is it your first day with the one s? Maybe you have a problem with your google account? Is play store downloading?

This used to be a big issue with the Nexus One from HTC. I was afraid it would happen on this phone as well. I can say that it does seem to happen sometimes on my HOS but only when I have limited signal on 4G. I usually either reboot the phone or put it into airplane mode then back when I notice it happening.
Same issues.. very very annoying.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
I figured out that it was the phone itself. T-Mobile denied it was their network causing the issue, and they may have been right. HTC has been aware of this issue and are working to push out one their slow ass OTA updates with the fix. <<<that coming from an HTCdev employee.
I got the buyer's remorse and swapped it out within 14 days and the new one has no issue whatsoever. I'm pretty sure warranty will work if you don't want to wait on the fix.
has anyone had this issue where it says "Mobile Network Not Available". I was running CleanRom 4.5 and installed the 4.5 keyboard and clock and all of a sudden I lost my network connection. what is weird is the 4G works fine. I just can't receive or make calls/text messages. Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem? I've returned my phone to stock, cause I'm thinking I'm going to have to take it back to Verizon. Just wondering if maybe anyone knew a fix for this.
That's weird. I'm running 4.5, and I have not seen that. Is data back now?

Yeah, i dont know what caused it to happen. I didn't even really notice it wasn't working, cause I never lost data. i've always had 4G signal. i just can't make phone calls or send texts. at one point it did say mobile network not available, but now it just doesn't make calls at all. the screen looks like its making the call, but you do not hear any dial tone or anything. For sure it was working yesterday because i was on a four hour call last night. Just stopped out of nowhere today.
I had the same issue the other day. Did you backup your IMEI/MEID info? Check and see if they are still there in about phone, also check your ERI and if your network is listed.

I just got back from the Verizon store after spending 2 hours there. It did seem like it was an IMEI issue. They mentioned my phone having a different number than what was on the phone itself and they could find no way to correct it. The verizon tech support that they called were insisting that it was a network issue and not a phone issue, so they opened a trouble ticket to try and resolve that. they said 24-72 hours to get it resolved. luckily, the store clerks and managers thought support was full of it, so they decided to overnight me a replacement phone anyways just in case, even though they were told not to. so hopefully the new phone fixes the issue. I'm just glad that they helped me out because I didn't buy warranty or anything on the phone so they probably could have flat out denied me. Fingers crossed that all is good in a couple of days
I did back up my IMEI the first time I rooted the phone, but since they're helping me out, I'm just going to wait for the new phone and hope that that fixes it.
I had the exact same issue I just call this number
*2767*3855#
If that doesn't work flash back to stock lock the phone do the number again

Take out your battery and look for the IMEI number that is listed underneath it. Write it down. Then boot your phone back up and go to settings, about phone, status, and make sure that the number your wrote down matches the IMEI number on the phone. If it doesn't, then you'll need to restore your IMEI and probably repair your ERI.
Read this thread. It explains how to repair them both:

I had this exact same problem yesterday. I noticed it occurred when I left a 4G area. I couldn't connect to the network anymore and it prompted me to switch to global mode. My IMEI number on the back of my phone matched the number in the status too.
The way I fixed it was by doing an nvrestore in terminal emulator. You need to have a backup in place in order to do this. I believe you can find more about it in the IMEI thread in android development. It should be the first step and they'll probably be able to help you more there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Also, I'm running Clean Rom 4.5, stock kernel, and the vrlg7 radio.

Thanks - will try this out and let you know if any success.
I was making an attempt to spoof my phone location to be able to download an app for my phone while in Europe...
bought a swiss sim when I landed...
phone was working great...wanted to add the Orange.ch app to be able to load my card up with more time as necessary in an easy to use app
phone wouldnt let me download because I was in the UK at the time.
tried to spoof my location...still couldnt download it (guessing maybe I was doing it incorrectly)
long story short..dont know what I messed up or how I messed it up...
but I cant make phone calls out
I can dial, but as soon as it starts to ring, it disconnects and says call ended
I see the words conditional "call forwarding enabled" at the bottom of the screen when I try to call out
I can recieve calls Just fine, and I can send and recieve text messages...
I can even get online with the 3g service with no issues....
Just cant make calls...
any ideas?
anything I should look at
can you tell me some file I should have that I may be missing?
any info would be nice...
the Swiss Orange customer care really didnt know how to help, tried some over the air reset things, and created a "ticket" for me to get somebody higher up the I.T. scale to help.... its been a week, havent heard anything back from anybody.
so I need help to be able to make calls again
also, wondering if maybe I just went back to stock unrooted locked firmware, and then went thru the re-root, unlock process again might fix it...but I dont want to do all that and then have it not work...LOL
anybody have any ideas at all??
cant figure out why I lost the ability to call out, and Orange.ch customer service cant seem to help me either...
