[Q] Texts not sending, receiving, or even showing up. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So I recently had to do a titanium backup restore, and everything works fine except my texts. Whenever I hit the send button, whatever I had typed disappears and doesn't show up, and whoever I'm sending it to doesn't receive it. Also, I had a friend send me a text right in front of me, and I have yet to receive it. I've tried using multiple texting apps, and they all do the same thing.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

When you restored in titanium, did you do a system data restore too? That's likely your problem. Also did you restore from a touchwiz rom to an AOSP rom or vice versa?

Wait, should I have done a system restore? Because I didn't. And I used the exact same ROM, Cyanogenmod 10.1.3

OK, so when you restored your data in titanium, what was the restore option you selected? You should never restore your system data, but generally going to the exact same rom won't give you any issues because your system data should be the same.
Either way, to fix it try to clean flash the rom, and see if it persists. Also double check and make sure your imei is intact.

Huge problem with ICS Leak

After installing the ICS leak and rooting it, I can barely use the phone. It freezes constantly (for about 15-20 seconds) after any type of touch input, then I get an error message
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped"
Going to try clearing data, etc. but I'm not sure what is causing this, it might be the Play Store
Edit: I realized that the issue occurs after restoring using titanium backup. Not quite sure what specific app is causing the issue. Going to factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, restore using titanium until it works!
Wrong section buddy but ya just boot into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik

I've got no problem. Keyboard lags a little but that's fine.
Try a factory reset

Amidst a bunch of problems
I've had, I've found wiping cache & dalvik and doing a factory reset cleared most of them up. Still have issues with Rom Mngr.
Wiped cache and dalvik but still having issues. What's happening is that it will vibrate once, freeze, vibrate three times, then say "Unfortunately, the process android.proces.acore has stopped." after about 15-20 seconds. I'll try a factory reset but I might have to end up reverting back.
re-flash the rom. I have had this issue before. You HAVE to re-flash.

Through ODIN?
Ok well it seems a factory reset solved the problem (for now). I'll try another Titanium Backup and if that causes any issues I'll probably go back to GB

factory reset solved the problems that everyone is having with serious ICS issues.
Well I think I found the problem. It did happen again but I found the source. After the factory reset everything worked fine. When i did a Titanium Restore, however, I then rebooted, but the phone froze (or so I believe). I pulled the battery and turned it on and experienced issues

Sounds like an issue with something that was restored then...?
Ok, even more issues now. Without doing titanium backup, just a factory reset, the home button doesn't work, the phone doesn't shut off without pulling the battery, and the lock screen doesn't appear. Reflashing the ROM through ODIN to see if this will work...

When jumping between versions(EX 2.1->2.2, 2.3.5->3.0.4, sometimes even 2.3.3->2.3.7), I've never seen a full TitaniumBackup restoration work. Literally the exact same issues you are describing.
At most I can restore games saves/app settings, and I have to use something like SMS Backup and Restore for text messages.

I guess I'll give up on the Titanium restore for now. I've only had this phone for three weeks so I don't really have any data that can't be replaced.
Thanks for everyones help

You want to keep resetting. I had that problem as well. It took 4 tries to get it to work.

Were you using titanium backup?
I wonder how moving the data from /mnt/sdcard to PC for backup and then moving back to /mnt/sdcard after the ROM upgrade will affect the ROM stability...

Ah, I see.
I seem to have fixed most of the problems with before. I'm noticing a very slight delay with the home key, but none of the other capacative buttons, only home. Slightly frustrating.
if a titanium restore is truly the cause of your problem you should tryto restore apps only (not apps & data) you will have to re sign in to everything but you shouldn't have any freezing and such going on....
*note you will also lose any progress in any games and such but already your phone will be functional again!

[Q] No notifications after Titanium Restore after factory reset

Ok, let me start by saying that I fully expect that I screwed something up, but here goes...
My 4G had stopped working and I decided now was the time to root and unlock my phone, since Verizon recommended a factory reset to fix the 4G issue. I rooted and unlocked my Jelly Bean OTA using this great thread and installed Titanium Backup to get a full backup of everything. I ran the factory reset (that was probably how I screwed something up) and (I think) reran the root and unlock steps (maybe didn't need to). Then, I restored everything using Titanium (pro version). No surprise really that 4G still didn't work (subsequent new SIM took care of that issue).
But, even with the "bad" SIM and the new "good" 4G-capable SIM, I'm not receiving ANY notifications for my apps. Nothing for Gmail or Google Voice. In fact, those apps actually seem to require opening them and pressing on the refresh icon to actually receive new emails/text messages. I have everything set to autosync and to provide notifications.
Any idea what I screwed up and how I can fix it? Since I've got a good backup of everything on an external microSD card, I'm wide open to suggestions here.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide. This is driving me crazy not having my notifications! :crying:
That sounds sketchy. It doesn't sound like you did anything incorrectly. Here are my suggestions...
Make sure your Google account is set to sync
In recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache In recovery, under advanced, fix permissions
If all that doesn't work, I may try another full factory reset. Then in TiBu only install apps (without data), and then restore only select app's data individually.
Hope that helps.

This exact thing happened to me. I was stressing out big time - even thought it was the ROM I was running that was messing things up. I was constantly sending myself test emails and waiting to see if they would be pushed to my phone (GMAIL).
The problem was my Titanium Backup Restore. If possible, do a factory reset of your phone - with whatever ROM you like. Before restoring your apps and data, try manually adding your gmail account and send some test messages. I'd be willing to be you will receive push notifications.
If so, try restoring your backup but uncheck and gmail related items. This solved my problem - let me know how it works for you!
I got antsy before I was able to see these messages and went ahead and flashed back to full stock. Verified all notifications are working correctly, and proceeded with all the OTA updates to get me back to Jelly Bean. Now, I'm going to re-root and unlock. I'll restore selectively on apps and not restore Gmail or Google Voice, though it really did seem like ALL notifications were somehow stopped.
I'll post back with my results.
Thanks so much!

Actually, this brings up a question, once you're rooted and unlocked, what exactly does a "factory reset" reset you to?
Thanks.
It wipes the /data partition. Basically all user apps+data.
You will remain on the same ROM, retain root and your bootloader will still be locked :thumbup:

Is this from the standard menu factory data reset or only through the custom recovery?

[Q] At a loss, data but no voice/sms

I was running the latest stable version of CM10.1 on my GS3 and all was going well until someone sent me a text message and I tried to respond. I was greeted with the error of message not sent. I attempted to text someone else to have the same error. Attempting to call someone will just hang and eventually say call failed.
I thought it was a radio issue so attempted to flash different modems but had the same result. So I restored my previous rom Beans 11 that was working after wiping and the same issue. Data works perfect, but voice and text does not. I searched and odin'd back to stock VRLG1 and entered *2767*3855# in hopes of that fixing the problem, again no voice/text.
Any suggestions further help? I don't know what else to try!
*CM10.1 was working fine, and then calls/texting stopped but data continued to work without trouble.
*IMEI seems to be intact
*Flashed backup of known working rom and issue still persists
*Flashed back to VRLG1 and attempted *2767*3855# as per another post to no avail and this is where I sit.
Same thing. Installed jellybeans 12 now I can't call or text. Prior text was hit and miss some days....restored stock rooted image flashed other Roms....no help. Dialed the ** number....so screwed. Ayneegry should have backed up my few several times. No idea what to do.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
When you say "Data" do you mean wifi or 3g/4g? If you have no phone/text/3g/4g then it's probably your imei. Check under phone settings, see if it's gone. If it's gone you gotta restore, do a search.
If you have 3g/4g then I don't know what the problem is. Sorry, just trying to help
Odin back to ICS and reprovision your phone by going into the dialer and typing *2767*3855#
rgrossie - data as in 3G/4G works no problem... phone showed IMEI still there but followed a thread to restore it anyway to make sure that wasn't the issue...
Edgehood -- I've tried that, and that's where I currently sit, stock ICS with 4G data but doing the re-provision doesn't seem to fix anything -- occasionally a text will slip through, but I'm unable to reply

I hear ya, if I can't figure out what's up, I'll end up having to go back to verizon and see what I can do... It was out of the blue, everything was working and then suddenly it just stopped. Happened on a flash that was a little over a day old, so who knows.
Check Mobile network
I have thiss problem happen occasionally when I flash custom roms. Look under your mobile networks, see if either CDMA/SIM is checked or NV. If NV is checked switch to CDMA/SIM and then reboot. That seems to fix that problem most of the time.
Edit: After some tests found out this doesn't always stick, but I did find out that after switching from NV to CDMA/SIM turn on airplane mode so the radios are tunred off, wait a few moments, then turn airplane mode off. That worked more consistently than restarting it.

Did you ever fix this? I currently have the same problem and have no idea what to do.
i had the same problem but a imei/efs restore fixed it. My imei was not missing but data worked and not calls or text. Changed sim and still same, even odined back to stock and unlockex and rooted no luck restored nandroid no luck. Then restored synergy imei/efs backup and good to go. Hope it helps.
Cruzin' tha Galaxy SIII via Obsessed Rom / "INAPPROPRIATE" Kernel
I had the same issue two days ago when I flashed to the latest MIUI Rom. Here's how I fixed it.
Go into settings, mobile networks, make sure subscription is set to SIM. After that open the phone, type *#*#4636#*#* make sure it's set to LTE/CDMA/AUTO
Reboot phone and all should be well.

If you Odin back to the original stock unroofed ROM, you'd have to take all the ota Verizon updates to vmf1. Then reset your phone.
Pain in the a$$ but has always worked for me. I had same problem running carbon.
I read in another post that Odin back to root66, them reset your phone would work too.

[Q] Problem with /efs folder after kitkat upgrade

Ok so here's the issue. I went from the wicked sensations 4.3 build to the MOAR v8 4.3 build due to random reboots and bluetooth disconnects. The MOAR rom was silky smooth except that I couldn't send MMS messages and *86 didn't work for voicemail. So I decided to go ahead and try a 4.4 AOSP Rom and went with the Beanstalk version. It was awesome except that it would not connect to eith one of my cars via bluetooth. Other than that it was wonderful.
But bluetooth is basically a deal breaker for me since I use it almost all of the time. So I went back to MOAR 4.3 to get bluetooth support back. I did a full factory reset and reinstalled MOAR. The 1st time I realized an issue was when I pushed the power button and the phone just turns off, and there is a message mode that pops up teeling me that the phone is in factory mode and that wifi wont work blah blah blah. But here is the thing. The phone works fine. The IMEI is valid, I can make and receive calls, send/receive texts, I have a lockscreen, and WIFI works fine. The only thing that is off is that I have no power menu.
So the efs folder is there, but it's empty. I've tried to do restores via titanium backup and through recovery, but nothing is working. I have also given the file explorer root permission, so nothing is hidden...or so I think. Obviously, the phone is reading data from somewhere since everything is working. I have also reinstalled beanstalk and it works as it should (minus bluetooth.) The only thing that I can think of is that 4.4 restructured the file system somehow and moved the /efs folders contents.
Any thoughts??
Nobody??

I think you're right about the file restructuring, your efs data is there or you wouldn't have any data signals.
I can't think of any way to fix it though.

[Resolved] Samsung Note 9 Messaging

Hi, currently having issues with my Note 9 messaging App. I do not get notifications when I receive an SMS nor delivery reports when I send out. Everything was working fine then suddenly stopped.
I do know it's not the Settings alert as my notifications are on, badger is on, volume is fine, Do not disturb isnt activated. Also am having issues only with Messaging App.
Other text Apps are working fine and I get my notifications. Anyone know what this is about??

Have you tried booting into recovery and then choosing the wipe cache partition option? This tends to solve a lot of bugs such as what you are experiencing.
If that doesn't fix it, the next step would be to factory reset the device.
If that doesn't work, the next step would be to reflash your current stock firmware via PC.

No, wiping cache only wipes cached data(temporary files).
You would lose data if you factory reset.
If wiping cache doesn't work and you want to try factory reset, you can backup your apps and data then factory reset the device then restore your data, but, you'll be taking your chances because whatever might be causing the issue might be included in the backed up data, restoring that data may cause the issue to return.
In some cases, when trying to solve issues, depending on the cause/solution, you may have to accept losing your data to repair the device, depending on what kind of data you are talking about.

It doesn't require an update, all you need is the same version that you already have if you can find a place to download it.
I suggest you backup your data then factory reset. Then restore the data, but, I'm willing to bet that the issue is being caused by a setting that you have changed, whether you realize it or not or it is caused by something else that you have installed on the device. If you backup your data, that setting change will also be in the backed up data and restoring it will just cause the issue to return. I suggest that you only backup your apps and their app data, your contacts and your pictures/video but do not backup your settings. Then factory reset the device then restore the backed up apps, app data, contacts and pics/vids. Then, if it is being caused by a setting that you altered, your issue should be gone as long as that setting is not restored with your backed up data.
If it is being caused by one of the other apps that you installed, restoring that app will cause the issue to return. One way to test if it is an app or something else that you installed, you can boot into safe mode, if the issue doesn't happen while in safe mode then you know it is not caused by something that you installed. If it continues even while in safe mode then a factory reset or flashing the stock firmware are the only solutions to your issue.
Or, find a copy of your current stock firmware and flash it.
