Weeding out the Problem - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My Phone: verizon Samsung galaxy (SCH-I535 running ParanoidAndroid Version 2.51), Using the Rom's Stock Messaging app
The Issue:
My girlfriend (iphone5) randomly does not receive text messages I send. Roughly 1/15 texts will not make it through.
I have no idea how to isolate this problem, as it could either be on my end or hers.
We both text a small group of individuals, and no one has yet to complain about not receiving texts.
It didn't happen before on my droid x, with her having the same phone, so I'm under the impression it is most likely on my end?
Although, I was also under the impression when a messaged displayed "sent", SMS guaranteed delivery from my end?
If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it as I'm half tempted to revert back to my old Droid X just to be able to use basic phone functions (SMS)

All that "sent" means is that it successfully went from your phone, through Verizon's towers and then out. Doesn't mean the recipient received the text. Do you both have Verizon?

I wish there was a way to prove this. Seems like it's so easy to pin off any interaction flaw on the underdog (the iphone, especially on this site).
Also Was your last remark sarcastic? You think I should switch rom's?

This happens with me and my gf. It hasn't happened recently tho. She has the galaxy s2 for US Cellular so idk about the iPhone rumor.

Alright for the time being I'm going to flash Synergy Rom to see if that does anything for me.
Seems like everyone is at a loss for words on this thread, anyone with some higher knowledge about the problem at hand here?
Also what are these Phone Modem's? Would that maybe fix my problem?

Is it only when you include the funky android smiley?
Also we're going to need pics of your girlfriend for further troubleshooting.

[1]No it happens without the smiley's, although for good measure, I'll remove all smiley's from my texts.
[2]Maybe if you help me fix this problem :silly: lol
Update:
- Updated Modem to I535VRLK3 (Supposed Latest Modem ATM)
- Re-did Phone with Synergy_d2vzw_10Jan13_1641_r169_s ROM (Latest Synergy Release)

On a side note.... Synergy rom is alot slower than parnoid, but I will obviously be able to make that sacrafice if able to send txt's properly. lol

Bump

It might be her phone. Delete the entire text thread on her phone. Go in to her contacts and delete your contact. Send her a text message and have her save it as a new contact. See if that resolves it. A lot people are saying iphone 5s are doing this a lot because of the way the phone number is formatted.
Also try having her turn off imessage and test it.

Yeap! stupid me had the use only 2g option selected when taking pics. Waiting for my GF to come by tomorrow to do a nice vid.
You will not need to send phone anywhere and it is working on latest update.
It will be a paid service so will not be posted on forums unless XDA allows me to like how they do for the HTC unlockers...
Only like 5 bucks and free to FRM donators...not much...last I am speaking about it so I do not get in trouble with XDA
If I ever decide to get the droid 2 global over the desire z, I will definitely pay 5 bucks for this.
The only thing stooping me to getting a D2G is battery life
so awesome!! I would love this, so it should be as simple as a flash? I would deff pay for this!
If we already have the new update for the global would it still work to flash this rom?
We also have to already have it network unlocked with the subsidy code right?
How do I become an FRM donator and help fund this awesome development?
You go to the team defuse website and they have a link on how to donate, and they also keep you updated with news there

lol this is not right..now I got go back to D2G from the DX after going to the DX from the D2G ..
I swear, my poor return warranty...is battery life any better yet? Especially on fission? and does it work on T-Mobile also?
well i cant wait! i hope XDA allows you to post this even though you are charging $5 for it. i'm going to buy a d2g as soon as this is released!
i cant wait for this! my only question is are there any random restarts on fission?
PS: the baseband is fully unlocked? (im on a milestone right now so i have no real idea about the d2g)
Can someone tell they will release that work for tmobile? And I have the phone but I can't activate it. When I call verizon they say I need to call my provider tmobile to activate it. Do anyone the same? Please help
Will this also work on the Droid Pro?

Is the T-mobile in the US? If so, the phone doesn't support T-mobile 3G bands anyway.
So if this is the patch released on FRM then it appears to not work with T-Mobile USA as I just tried it without success.
I would really like to see the evidence that this works at all.
A couple of screenshots with no data connection showing is hardly convincing.
I am well aware that it is possible to do, I have it working on my D2G with both T-Mobile and AT&T SIMs with Edge on T-Mobile and Edge,3G and HSPA all working on AT&T using the DroidBandUnlock method.
Their method makes modifications to the radio and I don't see how it is possible to do this via system level patches.
u t-mobile fans got the G2 already and the price is not expensive at all ....
get that one and quit complaining

More rumors of an update

Just called VZW tech support to complain about my phone's incessant rebooting. After some fairly vocal complaining I got booted up to a Tier 2 or whatever they call them over there, and she told me she personally spoke with an HTC rep today who assured her that there will be a reboot-fixing update pushed out before the end of the week.
When I said "yeah right, whatever you say" she offered up her email address and said if they don't push it out by then, to call her this monday and she'll just get me a new phone (i.e a Charge or Revolution, not a new T-Bolt, already tried that).
So, finger crossed? I'm not sure it'll help me too much, I'm assuming it's simply MR2, which when I rooted and tried using it also gave me rebooting problems up the wazoo. But still, might be interesting news to some of the rest of ya'll.

Bah. I searched first, there's nothing I'm immediately seeing mentioning an OTA update before July 8th for rebooting issues, just people talking about the July 7th update to remove from Hotspot. If I missed it then I apologize, your highness. I'm only going to spend so long search to spare anyone the horror of reading a three sentence thread I started that MAY be redundant.

Threads like this leave me scratching my head. You have a Bolt. You have ease of rooting. You have a plethora of ROMs, radios, and kernels. But.... you're talking to Verizon about a problem that you could permanently resolved in a lazy afternoon. Don't get me wrong! A new OTA would be groovy... fresh meat for the devs. Just not sure Verizon are the problem-solving folks.
then be happy, if there isn't a update
So I literally just got off the phone with a VZW rep & he went through his bulletin notes & saw TBolt DOES have an update on the way. When? Mid July, no specific dates. Only one can hope...

Like I said, I don't think this OTA is going to help me. I've already tried MR2 (worse than MR1 in terms of rebooting) and MR2.5 (racing grade ultra leaded nightmare fuel levels of rebooting) so unless there's some magical un-leaked code in the OTA I doubt my T-Bolt is ever going to be stable. I was more posting this for the few who prefer to keep their 'bolts stock and want a rebooting issue fix.

There doesn't need to be any ota for this. Verizon will auto add a block dun feature on your account like the iPhone...there is no device side software needed for this.
The mr2 was pushed till second half of July, and even that is subject to change since there isn't any set date. Just like they said second half of June, so really who knows at this point. Thanks to Bamf and company I haven't had a single issue since day one on the device.

Later then on At&t....lol... But I hope very soon..
I'm hoping within a day or two, but you never know with the Canadian carriers. I'm pretty sure we got 4.3 first though, so I'd imagine that it's ready to go.
hope the update will come soon, at&t has already the update....:highfive:it still indicated soon on roger site. hope it will come in the next two weeks:fingers-crossed:. What I like in kitkat above all is the mail, gmail like, and google now is integrated to the launcher. will see how samsung put it in their touchwiz.
Hope it comes to Fido soon. I'm thinking that if it comes to Rogers, then it should be ready for Fido also.
Even though I'm not using any SIM in it yet lol, wonder how that goes. I tried with Keys3 and it tells me I have the latest version (4.3).
I'm mostly excited for the snappier speed! It is sluggish in some parts in 4.3 and touchwiz really makes it slower than it's supposed to be!
Waiting on Telus
Then I'll be cookin'!
Edit: No S4 - 4.4.2 on the
Telus upcoming software updates...

I talked to a couple of Sprint store employees here in Seattle just this afternoon who as yet had not heard of anyone getting it via the OTA stock method. Whereas very close to date ND2 was first announced as released, each of the three stock S5s on which I selected "update now" in settings immediately began that upgrade process, its certainly seems to be a very different situation with this update.
Maybe it wasn't as ready as they'd intended it to be for release on the date they announced (coming up on almost a week ago now)? Doesn't make much sense given that this time Wifi Calling was the only specifically mentioned feature addition. Granted, its a great feature to be getting, but xda devs like sleshepic made that available for us and its been running nicely for weeks now.
I never got the update ota after checking multiple times a day so being impatient lol I odined the tar.

Just downloaded and installed update. Seattle area. Attempting to E-sign the Wifi Calling app 911 TOA but keep getting a network error after a forced automatic reboot directly after installing the update. The interesting thing about setting up the wifi calling app is it opens a self service menu and gives you access to the IOT hidden menus.

I wasn't able to get anywhere past the e signature thing (kept saying network error) until I actually called Sprint and had them add wifi calling as a (free) service on my account. After that, it went through right away.

Baseband Version is now NE5 and yes the wifi calling is with it. This is the OTA we were all talking about.

I got the OTA but I get an error when trying to install it every time. It gets stuck at 25%. I'm rooted but stock otherwise...

I let the phone sit overnight and retried the wifi calling E-sign setup and it went right though without a call to Sprint. The caveat to wifi calling is you must provide a legit street address for every wifi network you add for 911 purposes.
I went to settings/system updates just for the heck of it, and had an update waiting(144.29MB). I'm on Boost. Didn't take it so I can catch the Boost/VM tar when it drops to Kies, but thought you all might want to know it's out for Boost too.

Which to me is dumb. It should detect with GPS and only require address if it can't.
How's this any different vs. me driving to another city and calling 911 from my cell phone from inside a building?
The call centers, depending what they support either get:
A) Just phone number with the address that reverses to that number.
B) A and GPS cord, if avil. (sadly many emergency centers don't support this)
C) Approx location based on cell tower triangulation (this is actually more rare to happen)
D) no data returned
At best the app should connect and enable to the WiFi network you select and just work and if possible get location via GPS or pop-up saying no location. It can still do 911 based on IP gelocation.
What happens in an emergency when someone wants to call 911, has 0 service, finds a random open host spot, jumps on it and doesn't have time to go playing with this damn app to put in an address just to call 911 that they could tell the Op the location/address and even if it was incorrect call center they could re-route/transfer.
The Airave I understand, they want to make sure you're not trying to use Sprint service in a non-Sprint area or international etc. which is silly given you could now do it with this app as the only thing it cares about as an addy for e911, which for mine I have an incorrect made up location put in and it accepted lmao.

Talk and Surf

Does anyone know if you can talk and surf on the internet at the same time? I know you could on the Note 2 but not the Note 5.
Not until there is volte

They need to get on it. Other carriers have it.

I totally agree, I still can't figure out why they haven't yet.

Its a mystery. They told me managers bring it up in thier meetings. But not sure why the wait.
Probably going to be a while. I'm on the Samsung Galaxy S5, one of the first phone with volte. It's been over 2 years and still we don't have it yet.

This was the one thing I disliked when leaving verizon 2 years ago.. I had it on my S3, came to Sprint on the Note 4 and none. I was a little pissed, but they kept saying it was coming and here we are.

That's Sprint's usual answer to missing features - "it will roll out soon."
If you are having network or signal issues, it's always, "We were working on towers in your area".

True at least my bill is smaller than with Verizon. Network has been decent too.
They let it be known early they were doing the complete lte roll out.... and when that was complete they would go back and add the volte ...

Sprint would always tell me I should be getting LTE and I never did. Then, I got my Note 7 and my area is covered in LTE. It's just my old device (One m7) didn't receive all the available LTE bands. The network really has come a long way.

Well at least it's better now.
If you have Google Voice, Hangouts Dialer installed and don't mind calling people from your Google Voice number you now have a temporary work around

I just came from a Note 3 that still does Talk & Surf. Took it for granted until yesterday. The only tricky part is being consistent using the Dialer once Google Voice is set up. Hope this helps although I'd prefer to have what Verizon has already without any workarounds..

I came from the Note 3 as well. I thought there was something wrong with my Note 7 until I saw this thread. That sucks.

It does. It's mind blowing how they make new phones & leave out the best parts of the previous. Wifi calling and the Voice record app is gone too. They have a recorder Within Samsung Notes but not the same. Even the Edge had the version that can type what you say. Handy for musicians or taking notes.. Patiently waiting for root, ad blocker and Exposed would be the ****
