SMS not sending, but able to receive. MMS + Data Working. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello Internet, I just thought I'd chime in on the sms issue many seem to be having.
For me it started in the morning on the 21st. The day before everything was peachy. That morning I woke up and sent my normal texts that I usually do. The first text sent fine like usual, but anything after would fail to send. One quick-fix I found was to toggle airplane mode before sending a message, which would allow me to send another text or two before failing. The most interesting thing about this issue is that my brother, who is on cm 10.2 started having the issue at the exact same time and we aren't even running the same versions of android.
So I called verizon today and after about a half our I was able to get some information. I told the guy that I had tried rebooting, clearing cache, factory reseting, updating my SMSC number, etc. He said it's probably an issue in their end, which makes sense due to the timing of the issue occurring. He said he would do some behind the scenes stuff and call me back on Monday. I guess we'll see if the issue gets resolved. Keep me posted if you find a solution.

I talked to Verizon again yesterday night, my support ticket is still open, meaning they're looking into the possibility of it being an issue on their end, so nothing new. I'm convinced it's something with them, because of the timing. I'll keep you posted.

I'm having the same issue that you are. I've already posted a thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657822
Are you on a version of CM? I was on mastamoon's 10.2 and moved to his CM11 and still have the problem. The only other fix I have heard/seen is that you can turn your mobile network to just CDMA and the problem goes away. (Its slow, but it works).
You are from Hershey Pa. I am in the Wilkes/Barre Scranton area. Anyone else experiencing this problem and in this area?
Do you have voice+ or google voice in your app drawer? I've seen some people who have had it in their app drawer who have been able to open that and select disable which remedies the problem. Hopefully Verizon gets back to you.

Yes, I'm from Hershey PA, my brother and I both have GS3s, but he's running 10.2 RC2 and I'm on the latest D2 nightly. The issue started in morning on the 20th. From what I can tell, it's only Verizon customers in our area that have been affected, my buddy on AT&T with a CM Nightly hasn't had any trouble. I tried disabling Voice+ but it didn't help anything. As of this point, my ticket is still open, so no new news yet. I'll keep you posted.

This is actually quite fascinating. All of those who seem to be having this issue are in Central Pennsylvania, started having the issue around the 20th, and are running a version of Cyanogenmod. I'll be sure to bring that up in my next chat with Verizon. Stay posted.

Hershey PA here

I've been having the same problem since ~20th as well. In glad I found this thread as I couldn't find much else when searching. I've temporarily switched to a TW ROM and it worked fine but any aosp seems affected. I even got Verizon to give me a sim but it didn't help.
My cell number starts 570-57*-**** (Scranton area number ) though I now live in Hershey pa.

This is where I wish I knew someone who worked at vzw and was a reasonable person.

I am just outside Philly, I started having this issue on the 20th as well, occurred on both paranoid android beta 4 from notta and slim kat stable 3.0. Seems to be intermittent for me as there is times where it works freely and times I need to toggle airplane mode for every text
Edit: my number is from northeast pa (Hazleton Area). I'm wondering if it is an area code issue or something because I know people with s3s down by philly who don't have this issue with Verizon.

Been having the same issue. I live in mountaintop so maybe you're right

Central PA 570 here as well. Both my mom and I's phones are experiencing the same. What baffles me is that it happened to be people who had already flashed the ROM prior to the 20th, which means it isn't an AOSP specific SIM activation issue, because that happens on first boot. Touchwiz works fine, although I can't stand it. Whatever it is, I desperately hope it's fixed soon.

Anybody still having data issues?

I've been using my Rogers HOX ever since it came out but always had random data drops. Tried all kinds of radios (with or without RIL) and all kinds of roms and the issue is still there. Losing data is not the biggest issue but it also drops the battery real quick because it keeps trying to connect.
Anybody ever find a solution to this?
I'm using the HOX on Straight Talk and lately I have noticed that when I have WiFi on for a while, assuming it stays connected, I lose mobile data. The only thing that bring it back is toggling airplane mode or rebooting the phone.
I am on Jellybean, and I am not sure if the issue was present in the stock ROM's.
Yep still having the same problem on AT&T with every combination of Kernel/ROM/Radio you can think of. I can also say that it isn't a "rooted only" problem because a coworker is having the same issues on 100% stock software. There's always that ONE THING that keeps my phone experiences from being perfect. Grrrrrrrr........

Stock 2.20 on Straight Talk. Have to toggle Airplane occasionally. Especially in North Little Rock. ::shrugs::
OP, have you restored your stock setup to see if the issue persists? Basic question, but for the sake of a starting point.
After so long, finaly found the problem. I don't know if it'll be the same for everyone but the problem was Swiftkey keyboard. The moment I uninstalled it, the problem did not reoccur.
I have the same problem and I can assure you its not the phone, I have used many android phones, iPhones, and regular phones on rogers 3G network and they all have the data drops in general like dropping to 1 bar and no service once and while.
You might want to switch your network to wcdma/gsm instead of wcdma/gsm/LTE. If you dont have the correct APN for the rogers lte network it will keep searching for the lte nrtwork causing the data drop. As soon as I turned my lte toggle off the network stopped dropping randomly though I still get those random data drops caused by the network

We had this issue with the rezound, it actually occurred because you flashed different radios.
You had to flash a ruu or a modified one without the system image. See my SIG
So try flashing a ruu, this doesn't explain someone with a stock phone having issues but I bet that's just tower issues
I don't have any of these issues

Tried all of the listed solutions and nothing worked. I know it's not the network because I don't have the problem with my Note II. Swiftkey was the issue for me, once removed, the issue never reoccurred.

Wow, you might be onto something here. I just installed SwiftKey last night and immediately started having issues. Data has been off-and-on with different versions of different ROMs, and never suspected that my issues may lie within an app that I was using. I was mucking about with radio ROMs and a million other settings, never realizing that SwiftKey was installed right around the time I started having issues on each ROM.
I'm going to jump back to CM10 this evening and see if this was my issue.
THANK YOU in advance! (Thanks button has been hit!) Nice work!
You gotta be sh***ing me! After all this time scouring xda and numerous other sites.starting my own tread it was SwiftKey all along? Wtf? I did a thousand different things. Nothing worked, took off Swiftkey, bam, flawless. I've got a T-mobile GS3 incase anyway was wondering, no, apparently it's not just with htc or AT&T/Rodgers. Weird though cuz my wife has a AT&T GS3 with Swiftkey and has no issues whatsoever... Did you dl your version from the playstore or from a 3rd party? Thanks a million for posting your solution. This was absolutely killing me. God do I hate this stock keyboard though...

[Q] Problem with calls

Ever since day one (start of August or so) I've been having a few problems with this phone. At first, I thought it was just the network or maybe the recipient's network. Then I realize it may very well be the Blaze itself.
The problem I'm facing is this...
Almost every time I try to make a phone call I can't hear anything. No dialing sound audio. No person on the other line... just nothing. The phone does go through, but I can't hear anything. I don't use any BlueTooth device. I have to wait several minutes or reboot my phone several times in order for the calls the work properly. This issues has been going on from GB (stock, no root) to ICS (stock, no root) until now that I'm flashing the phone to see if I can fix it (currently using PA's latest version as ROM). I thought the updated radio from ICS would fix it but to no avail. Goes to say, this issue happens to my father, too (same phone, got them for free when we started the contract).
This has caused an annoyance for both me and for friends.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any ideas as to why this happens?
IDK if this helps but I'm from Puerto Rico.

Tell you what, I have been having the same problem. Make sure you call tmobile and complain! They are telling me that this is not a known issue and there are no complaints on it. I had a detailed complaint filed. I sent my phone back, got another one and it is worse than the first with this issue! Another strange thing is that it will suddenly make doubles of my custom ringtones and one of the files doesn't work. It defaults to generic ringtone. Very glitchy. Sometimes, will still show that the custom notification tone is selected but will play default tone. I am sending this one back too. I am really bummed to hear that rooting did not fix the issue on the phone calls. I was actually considering doing this next...... Really hope the next phone doesn't have this issue. I like the Blaze and don't know of another tmobile phone that is comparable to replace it with.
ditto
I have the same problem I believe. I currently dorm near the Bay Area, California. I haven't been able to hear or reply through my calls even though they connect to the other person's phone. This isn't exactly a signal problem because the phone still has bars and I can still tell when someone is trying to call me. I still receive texts, use wifi, and sound is working perfectly fine. I am glad I am not the only one with these problems.
edit: This whole "unable to hear or speak" into the mobile phone problem began around November 22nd (thanksgiving overload?).
I am using CyanogenMod 9, rooted of course.
edit2: So I just tinkered around with the sim card and battery by taking it out and waiting for a minute or two before putting it back in. Voila! I can now hear my voice mail.
Sounds like Handset issues with me... send them back and have them send you new ones... that's some BS if it is doing that Stock.
Just my opinion... being through a lot of phone and that is what it sounds like. just one mans opinion... cheers

I would be better off getting a new, better phone, it seems. It is quite annoying. Either way I voided my warranty by flashing. I don't suppose I can actually return it back to stock (like, literally returning to stock and unrooting and wiping and formatting every data) so I can still give it back... can I?

I got my third phone from tmobile the other day (all Blaze) and my very first phone call it happened on. To add to what someone else said. The phone shows plenty of signal strength and in fact, if I hang up and call right back the call goes through as it should. This from sitting in the exact same spot. I can't figure out what's going on? I had thought on this and realized that I had been turning off apps on the phone that I don't use (pre loaded junk). On the off chance that had something to do with it I turned them all back on. Still does it. I'd say it is a good 30-35% of my calls that this happens on. Very frustrating. I really like this phone but it won't function as a phone for me. I guess now they have to give me a different phone if I return this one too but I don't know what phone is comparable in size and function. I picked this phone specifically for the size. My wife got an s3 and I was not interested in it at all due to how big it is. This sucks.
I have to chime in. i just bought the blaze for my g/f, and i've using an sgh-t989 (galaxy s2), having the same issue you are describing. stock radio, stock ROM, just rooted.
Such a shame considering it is such a great phone for the price it is offered at. Safe to assume it is a hardware problem?

Are you saying that you are having this problem with the blaze or the s2? Both?
Both phone are having this behavior. new SIM used in both phones aswell.
Yeah, I went down and switched out my sim card as well. My wife has an s3 and has no problems so I don't know what's up? Shows signal but calls won't connect properly. Hang up and call back, it works. Huge pain when I am driving or short on time though.
Any fix this problem found? I talked to samsung and t-mobile today, samsung was no help at all and t-mobile asked me to master reset it. Once that didn't work they offered a warranty exchange. Any one have luck correcting the issue?
So far? No. But my phone seems to be behaving for the past few days (3). Which is weird. I'm probably jinxing it right now.

Restart during a call, the handset will not send sound.
Maybe they got a bad batch of Blaze 4G's. NOT making an excuse for them but I know it's happened in this business and others.... If I were u I wouldn't keep on dealing, hats to your patience.

Whas ROM are you using? ICS and gingerbread have a call preference switch in settings. Set it to data preferred. Cm 10 has a lte switch in settings use it. Battery apps can cause delay in data connect. Try these and let me know how it works.

Text Messages arriving hours late

Since December 6th, I've had occasional difficulty receiving text messages in a timely manner. Believing it to be caused by an outdated CM10 nightly, I downloaded the latest (at the time December 10) and did a factory reset. Since then, the issue has been largely non-existant. However, today, I experience it.
I decided to do a little digging. Using an XML backup of my SMS messages, I decided to see how many messages have been delivered over an hour after they were sent. In the six months of SMS history, there've been only 30 messages delivered over an hour after they were sent, all after December 6th. On average, these messages are arriving 3.7 hours late, and only after I send a message first. (For example, I pick up my phone, send a message, and suddenly receive several messages.)
I've run my current build of CM10 for almost a week, and have only had noticeable issues today. (Keep in mind this issue doesn't seem to occur if I send texts on a regular basis.)
Anyone have an idea why this might be happening? Could this be caused by my ROM, and if so, should I try switching to another?
Have you tried a different radio?

I'm stock rooted but you're not the only one having this issue. I was actually locked too when this was happening as well. The messages take a long time to arrive and when they do, they come in droves.
However, it doesn't happen to every person I know texting me. On Att as well.

CM10 bundles the radios into the .zip, thus making it more difficult to flash radios. I'm running the only AT&T radio, but I might try flashing one of the few CM10 compatible radios tomorrow and see how much luck I get with it.

I've been able to determine that, after an indeterminate amount of inactivity, the phone won't receive *any* text messages sent to it until you send one out. Today, happened after just thirty minutes in my pocket. Pulled it out, sent one, and then received five. Is your phone receiving them on its own, or are you only getting them after you've sent a message?

Now that you mention it, if I send a text, then I get everyone else's late and in bundles. However, I've had it be jus a couple people but mostly from just one person. That person also has a completely stock HOX. Mins was doing it too when it was completely stock.

CM10 bundles the radios into the .zip, thus making it more difficult to flash radios.

This I'm afraid is incorrect, if ROMs contained radio images then there would be quite a few more bricks.
They don't include them for this reason
The reason why you can't flash certain radios because the ones in the dev section include the ril. And because the sense ril is much different from a aosp one it causes issues when you flash a radio. Hense why there are separate versions for those who are running a aosp ROM

Yes, radio firmware currently is being set to 1.85 on boot.
Now, for those who are upset, and want 2.20.....note that I am right now working on updating our prop libs so it will be 'updated' to 2.20 att release radio. On boot, the radio firmware is updated to what the ROM has in it, for those curious about why it seems the flashable radios are not 'taking effect'. This will help reduce radio firmware outliers and keep the rom all together on the same versions of software.

CM10 bundles the radio into the .zip so that everyone is using the same, as there are like 17 variants of radios for the Evita. It loads it on boot from a location (/system/etc/firmware) different than the normal radio.img flashes, which is why even when you flash them, the ROM uses the bundled one.
This has been happening to me as well since about Dec 6 as mentioned in OP. I am rooted various roms, Original and Sense ICS or JB. Now I think this is an ATT issue. My other line on my account also a HTC OneX Virgin (Stock, NOT rooted, 2.20) used by a friend has the same problems. Sometimes its 20min late up to hours late. We both have issues where texts when they do finally come through like one other mentioned you get all at once. Time Received will show something like 8:00pm, sent 6:00pm...

I agree with you 100%. I was posting here weeks ago when the OP created the thread. I was bone stock then and it was happening. Happening rooted with different Roms too. It has been happening to my brother and his wife with S3s and my fiance and I on HOXs. We are all on ATT.
I think ATT is putzing with something but unrelated to phones on Roms. Been happening for a while now. In fact, has anyone else just had LTE implemented? Went up here just over a month ago and seems ever since my texts aren't getting to people fast enough and vice versa.
ATT HOX Premium App--Stock is fine but modded is Creative
I find this happens on mine at times when I'm in a poor lte signal area.
I send a message to myself once a day to flush system an I see it at these times, if I turn lte off and go hspa they come through fast.
I don't think lte is culprit I believe its in the carriers hand off between lte hspa imo.

IV had this issue and I have a temporary fix for it. I say temporary because if u turn your phone off you'll have to do it again. I had this issue for the longest with my one x I hope this works for you type this in your dialer *#*#4636#*#*. Once done goto phone information. Then scroll till u see something above turn off radio. It should say something like lte wdcma prl gsm... What u have to do is change it I use the PRL one... I hope this works

This often happens to me when I switch from a aosp rom to a sense rom. I often just wipe cache and than toggle airplane mode and all my messages catch up with everything.

Global Mode NIGHTMARE please help

Reposting this from the accessories forum...
Several people recently had their data wiped by installing CM 10.1..
Many of us have done full factory resets with re provisions etc etc..and clean installed a completely different Rom.
After doing so, my IMEI/ERI are still intact, and data has been restored. HOWEVER...
When in an area with no reception (like my f ing house!!!!) I am constantly being prompted to “enable global mode ". This will happen up to 100 times per day and is killing battery life..
Can someone PLEASE help with a fix for this, or even better an all around disable for global mode!?
I'm not planning on leaving the country anytime soon.

Thank you all!

It could be due to the latest OTA, which does enable global mode. I haven't been able to find out how to disable the constant query of that damned global notification. This only happens when I'm playing a game for some reason. Really annoying, but it's bearable for the most part. Glad to hear that you got your data back though.
I see how it would be agitating to see this in places where you have fringe signal quality. When I'm on the metro, I receive this prompt every so often once we go underground. In this case, it doesn't bother me since I have signal everywhere else. I'm not aware of a method on how to disable it, as I said its infrequent for me, just stating my experience with this nagging notification.

Why don't you just enable global mode

Will end enabling global mode cost me extra money if I receive phone calls or texts?
What's bizarre is this didn't happen when I was running the k3 leak before installing CM 10.1, only after.

Come on man... do you REALLY think I haven't already tried this 1000 times...? It's not that easy. If you LTE it forces you back with a global prompt once you are out of LTE service.
I wish it was as easy as you think

I'm having similar problems only I can't even make calls not even to voicemail. I got the global message too
Ok, I am having the same issue. I live in a pretty urban area but at my house and work I don't get the best signal so it is happening may times a day. I only updated to VRBLK3 yesterday and that is the same time this started happening. Wonder if there would be any harm going back to the previous radios.
I just had this yesterday for the first time as well.. was on the train trying to watch a film, and it kept popping up every 15-30 seconds.... really annoying.

As other poster replied. Enable Global and prompt will go away.
Flashed cm10.1 and my data works great. My first gs3 was plagued with data issues.

Only problem is even when global mode is enabled, if you lose service it then has to refresh the f$&*ing "SIM data", which exits whatever application your using and temporarily disables wifi to do so! I think this is even more f*&%ing annoying because it happens just as frequently as the global prompt! Im really upset with samsung and everyone else who had a stake in the update. You'd think there wouldn't be a problem with releasing a patch but noooooooooooo, it's gotta be a new revision before they care to push anything!

And of course use more battery. LOL Have you guys found a solution to this? I have been away from TW Roms for a while, and thought I'd try a couple. Does it depend on the rom, or will they be all the same if on the same base?
Has anyone found a work around for this? I'm trying a few TW roms to see how they've come along and to see how much better signal is with them. The problem is, as has been stated everywhere with seemingly no answer, that global mode pops up constantly when signal is iffy. Where I live and work the signal is always iffy. This alone is enough to keep at least myself away from TW roms forever no matter how much better the signal is. And it does seem to be at least 3 Db/m better for me, and more usually. This is a big difference in the sticks where I live and work. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has came up with a workaround.
And yes I've tried manually setting LTE/CDMA in data to no avail. I don't want the issue described above where it has to screw with the sim everytime I lose signal. And the popup is more irritating than the poison ivy I have itching me all over.
If anyone has a solution please for the love of god, or no love of god, tell me.

The MOAR port has the option to permanently stop that option from popping up after you see it once.

MMS selectively working on Nexus 5

So I think they weren't working at all because my IMEI wasn't updated with AT&T when I got my replacement phone. Got that addressed.
Since then, I was able to receive old MMS, but even new ones sometimes get hung up on trying to retrieve them. exiting app and going back in doesn't fix it.
Starting the phone up again does though..
Made sure APN settings are good to go, unchecked 'mobile data' in sms settings and re-enabled within Hangouts.
I'm on stock rooted 4.4 (and franco kernel)
any idea whats going on? It seems like other people are having this problem too but I don't understand it. Thanks.
I am seeing the same issues here.. Stock play store purchased and rooted on Sprint, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, sometimes even SMS sits forever and wont send or receive until I restart the phone, trying to find someone with a Sprint purchased N5 to compare APNs with
Its almost 2014, you would think someone would be able to straighten out the massive amount of MMS issues with android phones :/ It should "just work" to the customer
I have a feeling it has something to do with Hangouts app itself..
I have issues with hangouts indefinitely, also with textra and handcent. Like OP said,sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

That's interesting you're also experiencing it with other apps.
I haven't tried anything but Hangouts.
Maybe it's a Kit Kat issue? no clue.
Considering you have At&t and I have sprint, im guessing ruling out the carrier is OK.

This is true.
Running on metro pcs and my mms is perfect with hang out and sliding messaging pro. Metro runs gsm off T-Mobile towers.

Interesting, i wonder what the root of the issue is since it's selectively working.
Can't be hardware, because it selectively works whereas my data and nothing else has been on the fritz, and it seems like whenever I receive errors rebooting and going back into the app it loads the ones it was hung up on. Seems like it downloads it, but just shows an error instead of displaying the MMS.
Hmmm
And I had AT&T double check the IMEI I provided them was accurate..
Hopefully it just resolves itself eventually, either the network, or a software hiccup, or whatever it is.
Because this Nexus 5 I have right now is a perfect "copy" or whatever you want to call it, a perfect build.
EDIT: I FOUND THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM!!!
adblock for me. Uninstalling didn't fix it either. Just resetting the phone (wiping everything in settings) nipped it in the bud.
It makes sense that that would be the culprit too because it requires root access, and permissions don't seem to kick in until slightly after the phone boots up initially which would coincide with mms received and sent just for those first few moments.
Good luck all, found this advice somewhere else, and so glad it's not a hardware defect as I had suspected it wasn't.

In my case MMS started working after disabling Adblock in the app itself. Then I went ahead an uninstalled. Thanks for the head up!
