SMS Issue Unlike any Other! PLEASE HELP! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I moved on to CM11 M7 from stock 4.4.3 on my Nexus 5. My phone is now unable to send any text messages whatsoever! The SMSC Number in the service menu entered by dialing *#*#*4636#*#* is updated as: "+919810051914",145 (yes, with the quotes and the comma!). I am on Airtel network in India and the SMSC number for my network is +919810051914 only, I don't know the meaning of the quotes or the comma and the 145 at the end of the number. When I'm trying to update the 16 digit hex code for this number, I am constantly getting an 'update error' message. I have tried installing Go SMS and changing the SMSC number there but to no avail.
Also, when I tap on the menu button on the top right hand corner and click on 'Select radio band', I am getting the following options:
Automatic
USA Band (GSM-850/PCS-1900/WCDMA-850/WCDMA-PCS-1900)
USA Band (GSM-850/PCS-1900/WCDMA-850/WCDMA-PCS-1900)
JAPAN Band (WCDMA-800/WCDMA-IMT-2000)
None of the above match the frequencies used in India, could this be causing an issue?
Also, when I select 'WCDMA Preferred' from the drop down list under 'Set preferred network type:', it automatically changes to 'LTE/GSM auto (PRL)', why does it do that? Could this be causing a problem for me?
All this started after I flashed CM11 and previously PA 4.4 RC2. When I had first flashed PA, my phone did not have any network service at all and I had to manually flash the M897A radio, I don't know why that happened either!
Please help me out guys!

Just checked a friend's Nexus 5, it has the SMSC number entered in the same format and the 'Set preferred network type:' also has 'LTE/GSM auto (PRL)' just like my phone, however, his phone has only 'USA Band' as option under the 'Select radio band' option and he can send texts without any issues. Any help on this would be highly appreciated!

X7510 will not read information off SIM card

Telecom New Zealand has recently launced its "new" mobile network - WCDMA on 850MHz (it was a the rather antiquanted CDMA system prior!). Their range of "new" phones was nothing spectacular really and nothing much else worldwide appealed to me more than the X7510, so I duely purchased one from the UK.
When the SIM card was installed the unit come up with the following message:-
The Operator does not exist in the database. Please contact your Operator for the connections settings.
[Intrestingly enough, Vodafone NZ is in the database, even although the X7510 is not sold in NZ - but I digress!]
However the phone function and SMS appear to be working well, apart from the fact that it refuses to acknowledge the NZ Telecom Voicemail number. I get a good solid H in the Quick Menu Bar.
The data connection refuses to work at all though.
I have contacted "the Operator", but they are not all that interested in helping me as the X7510 is not a phone we support and while they've helped a little bit, the several HelpDesk Operators I've tried, all seem to end up with the same conclusion that everything the phone needs to know about the network and connection is on the SIM card.
When I open the SIM Manager, I can "see" some of the data there. (e.g. such as the Voicemail Number, but Voicemail on the phone Speed Dial is blank - no number stored). And when I try and connect to the Internet (using the number that Telecom provided verbally) it keeps asking for more Connections Settings, which I am told, there aren't any more to enter - it's all on the SIM!
It appears to me that the phone is trying to "capture" the Operator's Settings via radio rather than obtain it from the SIM!
Is there a way I can override the radio search function and get the PDA to "look" at the SIM card? Or maybe try any other method to obtain a data connection.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Greg

I'm not too up on this, but I think your X7510 is NOT compatible with the TNZ system. Telstra use a very unusual hybrid of 850/2100 connections where most operators use 850/1900 or 2100 only. One is for upstream and the other for downstream where there are 2 figures.
Although it does support both 850 and 2100Mhz, they are on different frequency bands, so you could have the 850/1900 working OK, but not 850/2100.
What it means in practice is that whichever band you select, you will only get upstream or downstream UMTS connections, not both together. This may be why you see the 'H' but can't connect. In practice, you may only be able to use this phone on the slow GSM network.
Some of the other stuff is setup based, and some info you have been given is simply wrong!
To get the SMS and Voicemail number set, start the phone dialler, and go to Menu/Options/Services then scroll to the bottom setting in the window (VM and SMS) and tap it to highlight, then Get Settings. You may need to manually enter the VM access number you normally dial. Do 'Save to Network' and they should be OK.
For data access, you do not enter any phone numbers- you need to configure the setting as 'Cellular Modem GSM/3G' then enter the Access Point (APN) and any password and username.
It seems Telstra are cagey about publishing the connection parameters but I found this one:
GPRS APN: - telstra.internet
Username: - {blank}
Password: - {blank}
DNS: - 139.130.4.4, 203.50.170.2
As I suspect though, you may only be able to get GSM, not 3G/UMTS

Neil,
You are a Gem! Okay, the first part didn't work, but I can enter the Voicemail as Speed Dial #2 or use the Voice Dial on the Parrot BT; so no real biggy that the X7510 simply will not accept the Telecom Voicemail number.
But I did hit paydirt with your data access suggestion and that was the one that was really important for e-mails and Internet access (as there aren't too many Wi-Fi Hot Spots in sparsely populated New Zealand!!)
Thanks so much for your prompt and excellent response.
Regards,
Greg
You're welcome!
Presumably you are only getting GSM speeds for your email and web access? Or do Tesltra do something different with their band splits to allow full 3G access?
It may be interesting to go to DSL Reports when you have a good signal and see what speed you are getting. You might have to repeat the test with a larger file than the default, but you'll get the correct prompts.
GSM will give you from 25 to about 100kbps (GPRS or Edge), 3G will give up to 300kbps and HSDPA can give up to 2Mbps
I don't know if you can do anything about the incorrect speed dial 1, but at least you have a workaround. Are you sure you manually entered the Voicemail number in the VM box in Options/Services/SMS and Voicemail> Get Settings ? I've just tried this with my X7510 and after editing the VM number, then hitting 'OK' it commits the change to Speed Dial 1 correctly.
[Edit. I can alter my Speed Dial 1 number by opening the Dialler then tapping 'Speed Dial', highlighting SD1 then Menu/Edit which opens the settings screen. Scroll to the bottom of the list to select Voicemail and Text Messages then Get Settings. Manually enter your voicemail access number then tap 'OK' which send the settings to the network and commits the change to SpeedDial 1. If that doesn't work, it may suggest Telstra are blocking the ability to change. ]
Once again, thanks for the prompt reply.
On that speedtest link you gave me I got: - 483, 489 & 319 kbps. This is off the local tower which is a good 20 kms from the city. I'll try in the CBD tomorrow and see what I get.
I had aready tried your suggested methods for locking in the Voicemail number, but to no avail. On my X7510 it's called Voicemail and Text Messages and when you highlight and then Get Settings, it always shows a number for the Text Message Service, but a BIG blank for the Voice Mail!!
Intersting comment you made about the Service Provider possibly blocking the ability to change?? If they are, lil' old me ain't going to get them to change that!
b.t.w. it's Telecom, not Telstra (who although here in NZ, are not a big mobile player like they are in Ausssie). I would guess that in NZ, Telecom has about 45% market share and Vodafone likewise.
I'll be in touch on best speed as at this stage, I appear to be somewhere between 3G and HSDPA?
Cheers,
Greg
ok- your figures are showing a pretty good connection speed so you are definitely in the HSDPA zone!
With regard to the blank box for the VM number: have you actually tried typing your VM number into the box then hitting ok?
Neil,
Yes I have tried typing in the Voicemail number directly under Phone Settings. When I hit OK, it says "Sending new settings to Network" and then comes back with "Cannot Save your changes"
On the speed - I have just picked up the "new" USB data card (for use on the same HSPDA Network) for my laptop and given that a try - wow! Download 6,485 kbs - Upload 1,445 - that's 1.5 x times the speed of my Office copper-wire broadband system. Telecom did promise some pretty impressive speeds and they are delivering (by NZ standards anyway).
I actually think your first summation of the this NZ Network being on 850/2100 (and not compatible with setup on X7510) might be correct Neil as about 545 kbs is the best I can achieve on the X7510. Hey, I can live with that, the other features of the X7510 make up for that and the laptop is never far away if I want to get some real speed!!!
Cheers,
Greg

[SOLVED]: "Mobile Network Not Available" error

I have had several instances where something I have done to my phone created a situation where I had no phone dialing capability. The error message when attempting to dial is "mobile network not available", and I'd get notice of "searching for network".
Restoring the com.android.phone app did not help with this. Neither did the suggestion seen elsewhere about entering ##72786# into the keypad to reprogram. The past solutions was to do a factory reset/wipe and then a restore of apps...pain in the a**.
Today I was able to work out another solution that has resolved this issue for me (at least this time)!.
1. Download Anycut app from http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1281882094_Any_Cut_1.0.apk, and open.
2. Make a new shortcut to activity named IOTHiddenMenu (the first one of three with the same name in the list)
3 Open this shortcut and select the following: TestMode Menu>UTMS>Debug Screen>Phone Control>Network Control>Band Selection>Automatic, then hit back twice to get to your main screen.
4. Download Phone Info ([email protected]) from Google Play, and open
5. Use Phone Info app to change preferred network type "“LTE/CDMA/EvDo" (click on Device Information and scroll down for first box to select and change).
If this works to solve your same issue, let me know in the thread.
And if it helps...give a thanks.
Lair12, now that I am back in the US, for the first time since using my S3 outside the US, I'm getting the no network error as you describe here...
I've tried the steps you describe here, but I still can't dial out (I do have 4g data).
I was wondering if you might have any other ideas before I start flashing? Any insights would be greatly Appreciated!
I had a similar issue recently where I could receive texts and utilize data but nothing else. Attempting to dial out would lead to the "Mobile Network Not Available."
This problem first occurred after putting a T-mobile sim in the phone. I tried numerous things such as playing with the phone settings in phoneinfo and I even restored the Verizon image which re-rooted my phone but nothing would help.
I decided to place my microsim into my thunderbolt (with an adapter of course). The thunderbolt worked just fine (phone calls, SMS and Data).
I then placed the microsim from the thunderbolt back into the S3 and everything went back to working as normal. Not sure if it will work for anyone else but I figured I would share since I went crazy trying to find a solution that did not require a full factory reset.
Well, just to close the loop, I was never able to restore my voice connection... I ended up having to reset the phone back to stock to get it back...
Oh well, it gave me a reason to try out CM10!

I'm necro-ing this thread since it just happened to me and I found a fix on CM10.1 given the root cause. Also, Anycut no longer exists in the store -- try using "QuickShortcutMaker" instead.
This seems to happen when the radio gets switched off the correct frequency. To get it back (in CM10.1), you have to dial *#*#4636#*#* . As soon as you hit the last *, you will be taken to a "Testing" menu.
Click "Phone information" then make sure your phone number and IMEI look roughly correct. Then press the "Menu" softkey and then "Select radio band". For Verizon CDMA/LTE, this should be set on "Cellular (800-MHz)". Tap it, and the signal indicator in the menu bar should go back to normal. Also make sure the "Preferred network type" is set to "LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)". (This is also where you enable "GSM auto (PRL)" if you want to make it a WorldPhone.)
The other option in here is USA band (GSM-850/PCS-1900/WCDMA-850/WCDMA-PCS-1900), which I presume is for GSM compatibility since "Global" isn't an option in the "Mobile Networks" menu in CM10.1 (without a certain cherrypick).

Re-Necromancing Again....
Doesnt work for me. I had to push "call" after entering last star same error- no mobile network... Thought I would give it a try since I hit the wrong option on the screen. I was looking at the LTE options and got distracted... I did however get EFS Pro to Open IOTHiddenMenu. It is like the 2nd or 3rd tab, you will know it when you see it. Now to find out where (IOTHiddenMenu) is hiding on the actual phone. I did find
*#22745927
This shows an option to hide or show the "hidden menu".
I tried enable and a reboot, but no luck. Looks like EFS Pro is My Solution currently.

[HOW TO] Fix SMS Sending Issue

I was having an issue on sending SMS messages, but I have fixed it. Here is how:
SMSC Number Update for CyanogenMod
SMS (Short Message Service) is specified by the ETSI (standards GSM 03.401 and 03.382 ). It can contain up to 160 characters, where each character is written according to the 7-bits GSM default alphabet.
SMS also contains some meta-data, e.g.
Info about the senders ( Service center number, sender number)
Protocol information (Protocol identifier, Data coding scheme)
Timestamp
There are 2 ways to receive and send SMS messages, PDU (protocol discription unit) and Text mode. In this page we focus on PDU mode, which is what Android 2.3 and higher recognize. The SMS messages travel through the SMSC gateway to send and receive. A common symptom of a badly configured SMSC is your device is able to receive SMS' but not send (usually reporting as sent, but without reception on the receiving end).
First, you will need your carrier's SMSC gateway number. Below are the numbers for major US carriers, (Google for your carrier's number if not covered here):
Sprint: +17044100000
Verizon: +316540951000
AT&T: +13123149810
T-Mobile: +12063130004
Rogers Wireless (Canada): +17057969300
Notice the numbers include the +, this matters for the next steps
Converting to PDU format
Take your number, including the + and go to http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
Towards the bottom of the page, there is a spot to enter SMSC, Receiver and Message
Enter your full SMSC number (including the +)
Leave Receiver and message box blank
Select Alphabet 7
Hit Convert
You will get an output in the box on the right side
Take the first 16 digits from the second line (examples for above carriers listed)
Sprint: +17044100000 = 07917140140000F0
Verizon: +316540951000 = 0791135604590100
AT&T: +13123149810 = 07913121139418f0
T-Mobile: +12063130004 = 07912160130300f4
Rogers Wireless (Canada): +17057969300 = 07917150979603f0
Your SMSC number is now in PDU format, now to update your phone:
Open Dialer
Type the following sequence '*#*#4636#*#*'
Open Phone Information
Scroll down to SMSC
Optional: Hit Refresh to see current SMSC number used
Enter in your PDU formatted SMSC number
Press Update
Once entered, it can take up to 10 minutes for the phone to 'handshake' with the new gateway. A reboot is also suggested to power cycle the radio, {this step is unnecessary if you follow steps 9 through 12).
Turn off radio
Turn on radio
Hit Refresh to see current SMSC number used
Send a test SMS
Assuming everything worked, you should now be able to send and receive SMS' properly.
Note: MMS is controlled by the APN in Android. If MMS is failing, double check your APN information

Canadian SMSC codes
For those needing Canadian SMSC codes...found out what the Fido, Bell and Telus call forwarding numbers were, and converted them (not tested).
Fido: +15149931123 = 07915141991321F3
Bell: +16473832355 = 07916174832353F5
Telus/Nextel: +15148210053 = 07915141280150F3
Wind: +16135009000 = 07916131059000F0 (taken from here)
Vidéotron: +15144240053 = 07915141240450F3
Also, since I'm with Mobilicity, their SMSC code (according to tech support) for Android 4.x is 0791617480001f6 (tested and works).
Got the UK ones right here:

If you came here searching for cricket, AIO wireless SMSC works for Cricket as mentioned by a few posters above. Just highlighting this
Issue updating pdu
I have followed the steps I am with Fido on Nexus 4 phone. When I put PDF number I get update error any suggestions does the pdu have to be in wuatation marks? I tested both, both update error.
Currently, when I refresh I have this format "+15149931123",145
Any help appreciated, I can't send sms for a week now, and tec not good, I can send mms no problem, everything else works sms receiving, data, internet, phone dialing.
Additionally, I noticed when I put *5005*7602* it says USSD running but it does not show me Fido gateway. When I tried to update through phone keypad the gateway by doing **5005*7602*15149931123# again says USSD running but than when I check hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* the smcs is not updated same format with ,145 at the end. I am having issue described here, any smart people out there to help me figure it out?
HELP there isn't a message center number option in the message app. And dialing *#*#4636#*#* in my dialer dont do anything, even pressing call the ussd code give error or connection problem as all other ussd codes do. Was on the phone with my service provider for over 2 hours they did all the can. The asked me to change the center number. Which I already thought of that. Factory reset wireless reset the whole shabang... nothing worked. Is there another method ? Using galaxy note 8 n950u updated to latest firmware no root sadly, tmobile variant, unlocked.
Unfortunately it doesnt seem to work with Sprint...

[Q] 4.3 APN

I have been using a 4.2 rom (Rootbox) with APN settings from PureTalk (see Android settings). Talk, text, and data all work as they should. Whenever I use any 4.3 rom (I've tried Revolt, PAC, and Carbon) and enter the exact same APN settings, I cannot send outgoing text messages. I can receive texts, send and receive MMS, make and receive phone calls and utilize data, but outgoing SMS just will not work. Whenever I send an outgoing SMS, message details indicate an error code of -1. I have researched and tried various methods, but I believe the culprit lies in the APN settings. My research has shown that it may be possible that I need to put something in the following fields in order for SMS to work:
MVNO Type
MVNO Value
However, PureTalk does not have these settings (presently), and they weren't needed (and also wasn't an option) on the 4.2 roms I've used and everything worked as it should. I have tried various settings in both fields (such as selecting IMSI for MVNO Type and leaving the default MVNO Value, in addition to trying different values I found around the Internet), but to no avail. I also read that the SMS gateway could be incorrectly figured or the apn.conf is not saving information correctly. I went into Phone Information under the hidden menu and refreshed the SMSC field and rebooted, I've tried rebooting after putting in the APN settings, turning off the radio, etc. I am at a complete loss as to what to try next. Can someone please assist me or tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank You.
GSM SMS
Upon searching more on the forums....it seems the culprit might have something to do with the phone number displaying as 'Unknown'. If the phone number was displayed, the SMS msgs could send based off the phone number in the phone because the system would know where they're originating from. However I've tried CM 4.3 and PAC 4.3 and cannot get into the GSM call settings, they are blacked out.
Unknown Phone Number
Does anyone know how to alter the phone number under Settings>About Phone>Status? I tried downloading the app My Phone Number from the market, but it won't install for some reason. I also cannot access GSM settings under Phone>Settings>GSM Call Settings (on all 4.3 roms I've tried), the option is there, but it won't allow me to select it. The phone number shows just fine without prior programming on a 4.2 rom.
If your Phone Number is showing up as Unknown, do you happen to have your IMEI? You might have lost it in the flash process. You can check it by either *#*#4636#*#* or *#06# and going to Phone Information and making sure it is the same as the number behind your battery. If you don't have one you have a different issue.

Yes, the IMEI shows on both 4.2 and 4.3. The phone number only says unknown on 4.3, not on 4.2. At this point, I don't know what else to try....

Can't add APN

Hi,
I've flashed the latest Viper One m8 Rom, 4.3.0 on my new htc one m8 verizon unlocked, from amazon. I bought it to use it in México, my carrier is Movistar.
I just got my new nano sim but I'm not able to use 3G o LTE Data Service. Whenever I reboot the phone I get a message that says "Non Verizon SIM" "This SIM card is from an unknown source".
As I was saying I live in México City and my sim's carrier is Movistar... so I suppose that message is to be expected but I'm also guessing that this shouldn't be a problem, or is it?
Anyway, I've been looking on how to solve this issue but everything that I've found says that I must add my operator APN, but I can't do that, no matter what "Preferred Network" I choose (LTE mode, LTE/ledgcy 3GPP mode, Global mode), whenever I go into "Access Point Names" I don't have the plus "+" icon to add new APNs and the only thing I see is the message "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user"...
I've been looking for a way to solve that message so that I can add a new APN... but I haven't found anything other than enabling airplane mode and restarting the phone... which I already tried, but doesn't work.
My phone is rooted and s-off...
Do you have any idea of what else should I do?
Thanks a lot!
Can any admin close this thread please?
I've solved this issue using a different ROM
Thanks.
