[Q] SMS receiving issue

Alright, I know this issue has come up over and over again with random G2x's. We know that it must be a hardware issue. I spent a good deal of time tonight working on my brothers phone, I figured with the V21y baseband and the new EB with support for v21y, it just might work. I am hoping someone will read this and have some incite.
Restored phone to 2.3.3 with baseband v21e.
(sms functions)
Upgraded using the LG support tool to 2.3.4 baseband V21y.
(sms functions)
installed latest EB ICS 4.04 nightly for v21y
(sms unable to receive)
installed Buru 2.3.4 v21y (Stock, debloted, rooted v21y)
(sms unable to receive)
reverted to 2.3.3 v21e (bare stock)
(sms functions)
upgraded again to 2.3.4 v21y using the LG support tool.
(sms functions)
at this point I decided to make a backup nandroid, hoping I would save some type of file difference that perhaps a dev could figure out. This is what is weird, before I took the nandroid I did a privacy wipe through the menu system. I than let the phone boot up, shut it down. did the nandroid bu, and than reboot. I was than UNABLE TO RECEIVE SMS's! Just to verify, I reverted back to 2.33 v21e, tested sms again, it works. I than re-upgraded to v21y, again sms worked. Again I factory reset through gb's privacy reset option, and again the sms's fail to receive. What type of personal data could possibly cause sms to function?

Did you double check your APN settings?

I probably should have mentioned this is not the only G2x I have used. I currently use the same phone, and have three other friends using them as well. They are all on ICS, and all have no SMS issues. I did check the settings against mine, and they are the same. I also tried swaping out the sims to make sure that it was not the issue. This is one of the "odd ball" phones that has some type of hardware difference. It seems no one has worked out this issue. If you read through the Dev section, under every ROM you will find random posts of people with this exact issue. These posts always end with people going back to stock, or giving up. Again the phone worked on stock 2.3.4 v21y, before a factory reset..... I don't get it.

I have the same issue, but I'm on Wind in Canada.
I've tried multiple things to try and fix this and none of them has worked consistently. Only thing I haven't really tried is flashing a non v21y baseband, because I could not find the kdz files.
Whenever I use the LG tool and flash the v21y update, sms works.
After that, when I go to a custom ROM (I check with getril), sms stops working after a while, usually after I use Titanium Backup to restore my app and their data.
I gave up and decided to stick with the stock T-Mobile gingerbread, sms worked until I restored my apps with Titanium Backup. I did not restore any system data, just my apps, but I did freeze a few system apps. I read somewhere that wifi-calling needs to be enabled, so I left that on.
The ROMS I've tried include Hellfire (Phoenix and Sandwich), EaglesBlood, CM7.2.
Anyway, I've decided to try again with the LG tool and look at the logcats to see if I can identify the issue. Any updates would be appreciated.

Same issue here, but I _can_ receive SMS when using Wifi. I am using EaglesBlood 4.0.4 (ICS), with v21y baseband. As soon as I turn Wifi off, I no longer get texts. However, I can send them just fine.
Had no issues when on v21e and CM 7.1.
Tried the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24872502&postcount=83, but perhaps that is not meant for the v21y baseband; it didn't help me.
I will keep trying things. I may end up back on a rooted stock or trying to downgrade baseband. Will report back my findings. <sigh> Wanted to get the fast GPS lock with v21y but if this SMS problem is baseband-related it's not worth it...

Thanks for that fix link. I'll try that with my v21y baseband before trying to install any of the other kdz files I downloaded.

Well, flashed the 2.3.4 stock ROM for 21y from TGA_Gunnman, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 - still have the problem. As soon as I turn on Wifi, I receive the texts.

For me there is another correlation - whenever I try to send an sms, my data signal (4g icon in the status bar) goes away. It takes around 30 secs or so to come back.

I got a new SIM card yesterday. I was talking to a T-Mobile rep about my wife's phone which is having a separate issue, and the rep said that our SIM cards were "2g" (that's what it sounded like). They told me to go to a store and they would mark to give me new SIMs for free.
Funny thing is, I had it in the stock ROM still, and when it booted back up in the store, I got the SMS from T-Mobile right away. I then sent myself a text from my wife's phone, and got it right away. All while on 4G, not Wifi.
When I got home, I restored EaglesBlood ICS but nothing changed (SMS still only received on Wifi calling). Going to try stock again, but will have to wait a couple days...

I tried putting my SIM card in my non smart phone and it works for sending and receiving. Just that, usually I get the test messages that I had sent too, but not now. So it is not sending either, I guess.
---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------
I restored v21e using the kdz tool. No test messages came back on T-Mobile, so I restored stock Wind rom with the intention of taking it back.
I tried sending test messages and after about ten minutes, I started receiving them. I tried this on wifi and 3g, both work. Does not work with data and wifi off.
Any clues?

Update : I stopped receiving them after a reboot. This is getting more and more puzzling.

I restored stock T_Mobile and they started working around 15 mins after restoring. Then, I rebooted and it stopped receiving, for a while.
I also installed CM7.2 and while it could send sms, it could not receive. I have pasted the radio logcats here - http://pastebin.com/u/baseband
I hope someone knows from reading these what exactly is going on.

Thanks for that, I have installed the APN backup.
I don't think that's the whole problem because I have this issue even when I am connected to the network.

Update: today I tried messing with the APN settings within EaglesBlood 4.0.4. I used APNs for T-mobile from the database here: http://www.osimood.com/2012/05/news-apn-database/ . However, they did not help, and with the second one (with the proxies) I could not use the browser over regular data (not wifi).
With the default APN, I could usually get SMS with Wifi Calling on. (But not all of my tests would come through...)
So, I restored the stock ROM for 2.3.4 for BB v21y from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274. I still couldn't get any SMS messages over 4g, unlike before with my experience of getting one at the Tmo store after getting my new sim card. Wifi Calling didn't seem to help this time either, after leaving it on for about 20 minutes.
I then decided to call Tmo tech support, and after the intial rep passed me off to a support tech finally, he walked me through these steps:
(Obviously I was on a clean system, so I told him I had done a master reset or full erase. I also mentioned to him that I ran the LG software update tool on my computer with my phone connected, which I had found and that I understood it was to upgrade the "baseband." I told him I hoped I hadn't screwed anything up, but that's when the problem started happening.)
1. Clear out all texts from the inbox (I only had a couple ones that I had sent from the phone).
2. Go to Apps -> Messaging -> Clear data
3. Go home, power off phone.
4. At this point, he said he took the phone off the network / refreshed the connection.
5. Booted back up after a few seconds.
6. Sent a test SMS to my own 10-digit number with 1 in front.
7. Got it, and then the other tests from today started pouring in!
Let me also mention that my voicemail indicator was on in the stock ROM ever since my new SIM. I called VM, but no messages; yet the indicator stayed on. Told him about this, and he said the indicator appears (and I would guess disappears) by the network sending me a silent text message, so it makes sense that it wouldn't go away before. After the steps above, the indicator went away within a few minutes.
I sent a couple more tests, and got them right away. So, I think I am going to stick on this stock ROM... I may have to root it to get TitaniumBackup installed so I can restore all my apps, but fingers crossed that it still works after that! I'm too scared to restore EB or try CM 7.2 with the new BB, but they might work (of course, no bluetooth! separate issue). Oh well, enough hours wasted messing with a stinking phone.
The rep also mentioned it's a good idea to turn off the phone once a day, and leave it off for a few seconds, then power on. This apparently refreshed the connection with the towers -- if you are idle for a long time then they start ignoring you. Weird, but anyway, rebooting never hurt anyone.
Best of luck.

Rooted using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214. SMS still works!

I'll try this as a last resort before going back to v11h baseband and taking the phone to WIND.
Update1: On stock wind ROM, clearing messages data works. Does not seem to work on CM7.2
Update2: Still have problems on stock ROM, even after clearing message data and rebooting every once in a while. Messages are delayed and fail sometimes.
Tried the APN restoring, but that did not consistently work either.
Has the APN issue been fixed ? I searched around, but the various fixes proposed don't work for me.

VZW GS3 i535 - Error with CM10 Update, have 4G data but NO MOBILE NETWORK

So long story short...
- Updated to CM10 official "stable" build last night (from November 1st Nightly, which I never had issues with)
- Started it up, phone wouldn't activate.
- Read about a hotfix. Wiped, flashed, applied hotfix, etc.
- Still could not activate/receive phone calls.
- Tried to flash back to stock with root and it didn't work.
- Realized my IMEI was missing.
- Followed a guide to get my IMEI back.
- Still not much progress. I can get 4G data, but when I try to make a phone call it says "Mobile network not available".
- Decided to ODIN + flash 100% stock
- Still no phone calls sending/receiving.
Now I can access 4G data, but I cannot make or receive phone calls. I have tried various wipes, resets, battery removals, SIM removals, etc. etc.
Anyone have any advice for me? It has been about 12 hours now that I've been without service.
It does show that I have 3-4 bars on the status bar, but I still cannot make calls.
Much appreciated.

i don't know the number off the top of my head, but someone said to call the # that gets your number reprovisioned, that could possibly fix the issue thats plaguing you

Try to reprovision your sim card using this code:
*2767*3855#
It will format your internal storage so back it up. You must be on TouchWiz as well.

Your eri might be borked... The only way I was able to fix that on my phone was using the now deleted IMEI and ERI tool thread.

Unfortunately the attachment links are dead

Damn, that's what I figured too. I have seen some issues semi-related to this subject with others who were running CM 10.1 roms, not just S3 owners, so I guess that no matter how many times you do something right, sometimes things still go wrong, It just is what it is, or that damn program HiApn was a little beyond me, and I borked it up that way. Got the new TouchWiz multi-window OTA update update fine though, re-rooted it and was going to explore it further, but I think I'm just going to replace it under warranty since the one year will be up in a couple weeks. Sorry to do that, since it keeps the price of phones high, but crap. It looks like it's toast for telephony, although 911 DOES work, just nothing else phone related. It sees my phone number, and can read that much of the sim, and my IMEI appears to be true. Strangest damn thing! Oh well, looks like a re-locked bootloader and Triangle Away for me.Thanks for your responses, best of luck to the OP....
(Oh, and btw, I actually like that multi-window feature, so when I get my new one, I'm just going to leave it factory!)
Wait a minute...borked ERI? That's fixable? If it's not too radical, I have a few days to try that before I have to send my original phone back, so if I can fix it I'd rather do that.
After reading that post you put up a link to, my ERI is already at 5...?

Mobile Network Not Available

Hi guys randomly yesterday I got a problem where Mobile Network is not available.
I have 4g signal and can use internet but can text or phone call. I have odined the stock666 file and did some dial code but still didn't fix it. I also flashed back to stock and tried removing and inserting sim but still same problem.
any ideas?
I can receive texts but cannot send any. it seems like a weird network setting on my phone.

I tried doing a factory reset and tried even swapping sim cards... no go

Hey, I'm on T mobile and also having the same problem no mobile network. I'm using S3 international , tried to switch SIM to my note 2 international but still no mobile network.:silly:

i have spent hours trying to fix. let me know if you find a fix. phone is unusable

Try this, go to open1your1eyes0 thread for Stock Jelly Bean Factory Images http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
Go down to VRBLK3 Image Downloads (Official 4.1.1 OTA - Built on 11/30) and click on show content. It should have the Stock odin for VRBLK3. Odin that image and see if your mobile Network works then. (watch out, it wipes everything, relocks bootloader etc) Also try to get a screen shot of your status screen in about device so we all can help you better. It could be a IMEI issue, but hard to tell. Were you using a custom rom at the time? Which rom? Is Mobile data enabled? Preferred network mode to LTE/CDMA?

I have seen several instances where the newer versions of CM have had network issues. I'd recommend backing up your files, wiping everything, and trying another ROM. If that doesn't work, it sounds to me like it could be a hardware issue. Best of luck.

Check and see if your IMIE and or ERI numbers have been reset. If you are with Verizon I believe that your ERI number should be 5. I had this issue happen as well. If you have a nv backup just use terminal and restore it, if not look here.

If you're on Verizon (I'll assume that) and received a phone thru them, the SIM card should have been in the box with the phone. If not you'll need to go to a Verizon store and they'll provision one for you. You'll not have service until you have installed the proper SIM card.

We need a little more background, Lucas. What have you done to get there? Are you rooted? What ROM?
I've had network issues a few times, usually I resolve them using the "Phone Info" app, but it's a little complicated, so I'd rather hear back from you as to how this all started before I get too specific.

For the people with service issues, it's been asked but no on really answered unless I missed it. Does your IMEI say 0 instead of the number that's under your battery? Does your ERI say None instead of 5? Under mobile network does it say Verizon? Also, sign into your Verizon account and under your phone instead of S3 does it say non-vzw device? If so you you've lost your IMEI and ERI. There are a couple of different ways to get it back if you didn't make a backup. I haven't done it but alot of XDAers stated using odin to get back to stock and I hear reprovisioning your phone with a numerical keypad entry on the dialer worked. Here's what I did.
1) Flashed a stock rooted TW rom.
2) Used this thread and software to get my imei back : http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79
3) I had my IMEI back and on my account my phone read S3 but I still had no ERI.
4) Follow these steps here, the previous posters thread won't open because XDA can get in alot of trouble from having the Samsung Repair Tool on it, or so I hear : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44871571&postcount=3
5) You can find what you need there. The tool won't work without a downgraded modem, well at least for me it didn't until I did.
6) I forgot a step in that, once you're back you've backed your IMEI you can then upgrade your modem back to what you want.
Hope this helps

Actually I did some research and figured out that my problem is that my IMEI was lost after the ROM flashing. That is the reason I can't make calls nor send texts...
Now I am trying to find some way to fix it. I did not have an /efs backup so my task is complicated. x(
Anyway, thanks for your help! =)

Tell us what ROM! if it was CM10.2 Go flash a different ROM and you'll be fine your IMEI isn't really lost.

Update: Oct. 1 2013. I was able to fix my issue by doing a factory data reset from settings. I was running Hyperdrive rom, w TWRP 2.5.0.2. I did do a nandroid backup before doing this but then an update in Hyperdrive was available so I just did the clean install after that and was good to go. My problem started when attempting to do the hidden menu sim unlock free method. So if this happens to u, u should be able to try this method and get calls back, but Im not sure about unlock status.

[Q] Can't make phone calls. Already restored ERI and MEID.

I was having issues on my rooted verizon galaxy s3 running beans version 15. I would get a circle on data when tethering. I went back to root66 learned my IMEI and ERI were set to zero and now they are at 5 and the correct things...I have data I've had it 4g LTE that is and can tether just fine. I'm using my phone currently to ask this question. I cannot dial or send texts...on beans it just says dialing with no tone on root66 it would say no network available. My # shows my service is there...when I click LTE/CDMA in network it says searching and I hit ok. I don't know if that means it needs to search first or what...I really don't know what to do I have searched all day and done everything I know to do and now I'm just lost. I also did *228 and it said my sim wasn't registered then I rebooted and did it and it worked....so no clue what is going on.
Under phone status my phone said Service State: Out of Service when on root66 but now it says In Service. Still don't understand this.
Mobile network state: connected in root66 it was trying to connect randomly.
Phone #: Correctly displayed
Prl and ERI Version: 15211 and 5
Device State: normal.
Everything seems good : (

I'm having the same problem. I haven't yet gone back to Root66, because that is going to be a major pain (really REALLY don't like using ODIN and haven't found a flashable zip to use from CWM), and my phone has had trouble staying connected to a computer ever since I took it out in a snowstorm a few months back, so I'm nervous that doing stuff via ODIN is going to end poorly. This was after I flashed to Carbonrom 1.7, which is Android 4.2.2. Initially I got stuck on the activation screen, with no phone number, nothing, but after I switched my CDMA subscription mode from NV to RUIM/SIM, I got the phone number and PRL version back. Phone number now appears correct, and PRL version is 15223. IMEI still reads 0, though. I had an IMEI backup from back when I first flashed from ICS to JB, but restoring it doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm going to keep looking for a flashable Root66 zip, and if not I'll see if I can get something to work via ODIN (or see if I can maybe get the AOSP modem solution thing to work though the script I found didn't run) and report back. I don't do a whole lot of phone calls, and data is working fine, so it's not a hugely pressing issue, but I do want to get this solved ASAP. If anyone's got any thoughts or input, I know we'd both appreciate help. In the meantime, I'll press on and we'll see what happens.

I had an issue installing carbon rom too a while back but just went back to stock and then redid everything from there...this is my first time encountering such a huge issue that I can't solve on my own. Everything seems FINE now..IMEI everything was repaired and fixed. Odin takes around 12-15 minutes if you wanted to try that...How did you change your subscription mode? Maybe there are some things I haven't tried yet....if so I'd like to know how and where.

System Settings>More...>Mobile Networks>CDMA Subscription.
I had issues with Carbon 1.6.1, and flashed back to 1.5, which was great except that occasionally normal-pressing the home button would start registering as a long-press until I rebooted. Decided to try Carbon 1.7, then this happened. As I understand it, though, whether or not your IMEI gets borked is a bit of a matter of chance, not necessarily ineptitude on the part of a ROM's developer team. That's why you're encouraged to backup your IMEI before any serious system modification. Dunno why my backup isn't working, though... that part is what's most annoying.

That you can do. There are multiple guides out there for completely resetting back to stock, for situations like needing to return a phone to Verizon and wanting to erase any trace of your fooling around with OS components. For me, I seem to be completely unable to connect the phone to computer via USB, so ODIN is completely out. Thinking I might bring it to Verizon and see what they can do. I've currently got it on JellyWiz RLS13, which is based on the stock TW JB OTA, so hopefully that's close enough that it won't throw any flags for them and they can do some magic or something and reset the IMEI.

Phone call issues with D850. Hardware??

When I purchased this phone on Swappa, everything worked, with the exception of phone calls. I assumed it was a ROM issue, but I have since tried mulitiple ROMs, with no success at resolving it. The culmination came this morning when I used the LG flash tool to fully restore it to factory settings, and the problem persists. The symptoms are as follows: when trying to make a call, the dialer opens, the call tries to connect, shows "dialing" then disconects. On a very rare occaision it will successfully connect, but I have yet to observe any pattern. Everything else works, sms, data, etc, and I have replaced the SIM card to rule that out. I will post a logcat in the first comment of when it fails, and I will try to get one of when it connects for comparison, but we'll see how that goes.

Code:
[ 02-15 15:28:14.035 4864: 4874 I/CallHandlerService ]
CallHandlerService - onDisconnected: Call{mCallId=6, mState=DISCONNECTED, mDisconnectCause=ERROR_UNSPECIFIED, mCapabilities=530, mConnectTime=0, mChildCallIds=[], mGatewayNumber=null, mGatewayPackage=null, mIdentification=CallIdentification{mCallId=6, mNumber=xxxxxxxxxx, mNumberPresentation=1, mCnapName=null, mCnapNamePresentation=0, mTelephonyCallerInfo={contactNumber=, okToGetTelephonyCallerInfo=false, cachedPhotoIcon=null, phoneNumber=, person_id=0, photoResource=0, name=, contactExists=false, contactExistsCount=0, cachedPhoto=null}}, mSsNotification=null, mConnectionInfo=ConnectionInfo{mCallId=6, mAddress=xxxxxxxxxx, mOriginalNumber=xxxxxxxxxx, mCdnipNumber=null, mToa=129}, mLine1Number=xxxxxxxxxxx, mSubscription=0, mRoamingCallIsIncoming=0, mRoamingRadMode=0, mRoamingPrefix=null, mIsConfConn=0, mPrivacyKeeperState=NONE}

[ 02-15 15:28:14.035 1471: 1471 D/CallNotifier ]

That seems to be the most relevant series of lines from the failure logcat. Full log attached, if anyone knows what specifically to look for.

I really don't know what to look for, and the full log is too long to post, so I will attach it here.

Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong, or what I need to do to get this device to work reliably? Is it possible that it is the SIM reader? (seems unlikely since SMS and data work, and calls work intermittently.) Also worth noting, calls seem to connect immediately after a reboot fairly consistently.

Bump?

Bump x 2?

Desperation bump? LG says they can only evaluate the device if I provide a copy of the original sales reciept, which the guy I bought it from says he can't get. He guarentees the device was working when he shipped it, though I have some doubts, as he did indicate he wasn't using it, just made some test calls, and the phone seems ot work immeidately aftera reboot... Any ideas at all??

I don't think it's hardware. Sounds like an internal setting got messed up. I assume you've cleared everything that's clearable from recovery.
I suggest you flash CM13. If you still have the problem, ask the CM guys for help.

I have the same problem. Wife has same phone, doesn't have problem (but has software version d85021q). I am currently using sock rooted 20f, flashed 21r modem. tried different roms all have the same problem. sim works fine in my old S4. data and texts work fine. Calls try but then stop with call ended. problems with receiving calls too. Signal strength is -108db same as hers, the S4 is about the same maybe -106db. here's a list I have tried.
1. stock KK rom
2. stock rooted 20f rom
3. RR 5.5.8 rom
4. fulmics 2.7 rom
5. latest cm 12.1 nightly
6. flashed 20f modem
7. flashed 21r modem
I would try flashing MM roms but without the baseband updates would I be in the same boat? Also worried about being stuck with MM if I want to return to LP.

I did pretty much everything possible to try to resolve this, with not success. I tried multiple custom roms, I used the LG Flash Tool to try multiple version of factory rom, and never had any luck. Always the same issue, everything worked but phone calls. I gave up, and bought a device with a shattered screen, and swapped the board over into my good body. Of anyone comes up with any ideas, I'm very interested. I have the equipment to even do on board repairs/component replacements, but I don't know what to try to replace, since the radio obviously works or data and texts wouldn't work.

I've tried pretty much everything imaginable from a software/firmware standpoint... I've tried multiple custom ROMs, I've used the LG Flash Tool to flash multiple version of stock, and multiple modems, etc. I always ended up with the same result. Everything worked but phone calls. I finally gave up and bought a device with a smashed screen, and swapped that board into my body. I'd still be interested if anyone has any insights. I have the equipment necessary to replace board level components, etc, but I don't have the equipment to test them, so I don't know what to try replacing. The radio is obviously functional, since text + data work...
